The Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (Xbox 360) tournament of Reflex GT Winter 2013 has been canceled.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, caused by events both in and out of control of our team, the Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition (Xbox 360) tournament (17th of February) has been canceled. A tough decision has been made after a thorough analysis of the situation and consultation with all parties involved. Concluded was that it was made unpossible to deliver what was initially promised to the tournament participants. Alternative tournament formats have been considered but unfortunately were deemed unworkable and could not guarantee the quality of experience we want to offer all our event attendees.

This has been our first time attempt to serve the fighting game community of the world with a new major tournament in Europe. Even though everyone’s efforts may now seem to have been for nothing, we do have gained more experience and knowlegde of working with this great community and plan to make good use of it in the future. Our intentions of supporting the growth of the fighting game community are unchanged and we plan to partner up with experienced fighting game parties to deliver great events in the future.

We deeply apologise to all people who planned to attend this event for this tournament and the inconvenience we may have caused with our decision. Tournament participation tickets will automatically be refunded. Visitors can get their visitor ticket refunded by contacting us via e-mail. Other types of inconvenience or complaints can be communicated to us via e-mail as well. We will try our best to solve all issues as a result of this tournament’s cancelation.
