BEST of the Battle VI recap

This past weekend we hosted our sixth event in the BEST of the Battle fighting game tournament series. The event took place in San Jose, California at the Breezy Excursion warehouse. The tourney lineup for the event included Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate, Ultra Street Fighter 4, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Persona 4 Arena Ultimax, and Under Night In-Birth Exe: Late. The first half of the day had tournaments for DOA5U, P4AU, and UNIEL. The tournaments for USF4 and Marvel happened later that evening. From morning till night gamers from all over Northern California gathered at the event to test their skills in their respective game. We even had a few special guests from Southern California show up to compete. Even if you didn't take home a medal or cash at the event you still had an opportunity to walk away a winner during one of the many raffles that happened. Keep scrolling to view the results and pics of the event.


Here is the stream archive of the event with DOA and USF4 getting all the stream time (I'll get around to chopping up the match vids another time)

Bitch I light up
Call me Charmeleon
Life on the line

Evolution 2014 recap

Last week we attended the largest fighting game tournament in the world, Evolution 2014. Over 5,000+ fighting game fans gathered in Las Vegas at the LVH Casino & Resort, with many people attending from various countries such as Japan, Australia, Great Britain, and more.

The calm before the storm…


We teamed up with Capsule Entertainment and Godlike Combo to run a side-tournament for Street Fighter 3: Third Strike and Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate


Attendee's got to play a pre-release of the new Jojo game, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: All Star Battle




The Qanba booth had a gigantic fightstick on display


Tried out a Virtual Reality headset…way better than the Virtual Boy




This was just a small fraction of the seats available during Sunday finals


The DOA5U grand finals consisted of 2 EVO world champions, FNATIC|Perfect Legend and RG|SonicFox. Here is the top 3 for the Dead or Alive 5 side tourney; 1st-RG|SonicFox (middle), 2nd-FNATIC|PerfectLegend (right), 3rd-AFD|Requiem (left)


Wouldn't be right if we didn't take a team photo before we left Vegas. Till next year, EVO.

Evolution 2014 Side Tournaments

We are headed out to Vegas this weekend to compete in the world's largest fighting game event, Evolution 2014. Aside from competing, we teamed up with Godlike Combo and Capsule Entertainment to host tournaments for 2 different games; Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate and Street Fighter 3: Third Strike.  We'll also be giving out free stickers at our booth so keep your eyes peeled for the Capsule Entertainment and Godlike Combo banner.

Stickers Packs Now Available in the Online Shop

As you know, we over here at Oh My Yomi are huge fans of video games and gaming culture. We would like to introduce to you the Sonic Boom and Paradise sticker packs.

The fam over at Booger Kids designed the Sonic Boom sticker simply out of their love of Guile's iconic move from the classic 90's arcade game Street Fighter II. Countless hours of Ryu vs Guile matches were played at the BK warehouse before the idea for this design came to be. Be sure to check out their website at BoogerKids.com

The Paradise sticker takes inspiration from Sega's AM2 logo, the team behind the Virtua Fighter series. The creator of the Dead or Alive franchise, Tomonobu Itagaki, got his inspiration to make a 3D fighting game because of Virtua Fighter. Thus, the DOA series was born. The purpose behind the Paradise sticker is that us fans of the DOA and VF series want a DOA vs Virtua Fighter crossover game one day. Show your support by proudly displaying the sticker on a laptop, game console, or anywhere else. Besides, they're only a dollar for 3.

Oh yeah, and every sticker pack comes with random bonus stickers ;)

Tight or Fight 9

The homies from Capsule Entertainment are throwing a big fighting game tournament tournament this weekend to celebrate the release of Ultra Street Fighter 4. Arcade Stick maker EightArc will also be in attendance to raffle off some sticks. Add a little Marvel vs Capcom 3, some 3-on-3 team battlin', and you got yourself a tourney.

Fanime 2014 Recap

About a week or so ago we had the pleasure of attending Northern California's largest anime convention, Fanime. Imagine a gathering of thousands of people that are dressed up as different anime, video game, and cartoon characters in one place. Yup. That was Fanime. There was even a 24 hour game hall that was open all night to whomever with a pass. If you're a fan of otaku culture, without a doubt this was THE PLACE TO BE.

Shoutout to Skeetolifer for the awesome pics. He's DABESS.



Outside the convention center. The guy in the yellow sweater tho...LOL




This guy was playing different video game tunes with his keyboard backpack


Tee shirts, toys, manga, games, collectibles and more were available for purchase in the vendor's hall








Anyone up for a game of Giant Jenga?


The Assassin's Creed gathering was deep


Cosplay hunnies everywhere you turn






Is that schoolgirl pinching Psylocke's butt?!




Be careful now






Spotted the Mach 5


I wonder if this Mazda secretly turned into an Eva? No wait, Transformers does that.
