The final OHNX: Regionals for TTT2 has been completed. Results from this Brisbane tournament are now available on the OHNX: Regionals page. Full results will be provided in this OzHadou forum thread.

The OHN Team thanks everyone that participated in our first ever Regionals series for Tekken. Thanks also to all the organisers that ran these regional tournaments. We look forward to seeing how everyone performs in the official Tekken Tag Tournament 2 competition at OHNX 2 weeks from now.

We are pleased to announce Timezone as an official supporter of OHNX.

Timezone is assisting us by providing a head-to-head cabinet for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 at OHNX on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th of February. This is great news for TTT2 players, as head-to-head cabinets are the preferred arcade platform of tournament players around the world.

The TTT2 cabinet from Timezone will be added to the cabinet provided by OHNX sponsor Namco Bandai Partners, giving OHNX attendees more time to explore the latest installment of the Tekken franchise under freeplay conditions.

The second OHNX: Regionals for TTT2 is over. Results from this Sydney tournament are now available on the OHNX: Regionals page. Full results can be found in this OzHadou forum thread.

Don’t forget that the Brisbane OHNX: Regionals tournament for TTT2 is taking place on Saturday the 4th of February. There are also OHNX: Regionals tournaments in Adelaide and Canberra for SSF4:AE and UMvC3 on the same weekend. Visit the OHNX: Regionals page for links to full details for each of these tournaments.

The final round of OHNX: Regionals tournaments for SSF4:AE and UMvC3 is happening this weekend. The first of these is OHNX:R – Adelaide, which is being held on Saturday the 4th of February.

Last but not least we have OHNX:R – Canberra, which is taking place at the Good Games Canberra store on Sunday the 5th of February. This event is supported by Stick Addiction, and a number of Sydney players are expected to attend in a bid to swipe some of Canberra’s OHNX ranking points for themselves.

Competitors with seeding points can be certain that they won’t have to face the likes of ToXY (VIC), robsux (NSW) or NefeliousG (QLD) first round at OHNX. These are your last two chances to secure ranked seeds for SSF4:AE and UMvC3, so be sure to grab them while you can.

The remaining OHNX: Regionals tournaments for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will be happening in Sydney and Brisbane arcades this weekend.

First up we have OHNX:R – Sydney for TTT2, which will take place in Timezone on George St on Friday the 3rd of February. Finally OHNX:R – Brisbane for TTT2 will be taking place on Saturday the 4th of February. Competitors at these tournaments will be able to earn rank seeds for the TTT2 tournament at OHNX, which is sponsored by Namco Bandai Partners.

Remember that registrations for OHNX close on Monday the 6th of Febraury. If you want to capitalise on your ranking points for OHNX make sure you register in time, as we will NOT be taking registrations for official tournaments at the OHNX venue.

The third OHNX sponsor listed in the official OHNX press release is Madman Entertainment, Australia’s leading independent theatrical, home entertainment distribution and rights management company. Madman specialises in the wholesale distribution of DVD and Blu Ray product into sales channels throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Madman have long been supporters of the Australian fighting game community, providing sponsorship to numerous tournaments including OHN7 and EVO APAC. For OHNX Madman will be putting together a great range of DVDs and Blu Ray titles as prizes for attendees and competitors at OHNX. More details regarding these prizes will be announced in the near future.

As mentioned in the official OHNX press release, one of the sponsors of OHNX is Namco Bandai Partners. We have two of their fighting games at OHNX, with an official tournament for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and a DIY Road to Evo tournament for the forthcoming Soul Calibur V.

	Namco Bandai Partners are supporting these games at OHNX by providing console setups for SC5, plus an arcade cabinet for TTT2. This will give OHNX attendees a rare opportunity to play the arcade version of TTT2 on freeplay. Remember that tournament entries for TTT2 close after Monday the 6th of February, so be sure to register soon for your shot at the first Australian national titles in TTT2.

In addition to the official tournaments, there will be a number of side tournaments run at OHNX, which we refer to as Do-It-Yourself (DIY) tournaments.

This year OHN is recognising five DIY tournaments as part of the tournament schedule. The winners in each DIY tournament will receive an official OHNX champion medal courtesy of OzHadou.

Read on to learn more about each DIY tournament game featured at OHNX.

	Soul Calibur has long had a presence at OHN, dating back to Soul Calibur II at OHN2. FaYd (NSW) recently won the GamespotAU tournament for Soul Calibur V, but what will happen once the game is released and double elimination is used?
The top 16 players in SC5 will receive Road to Evo points and the Final 4 will be streamed on the Sunday of OHNX. SC5 at OHNX is sponsored by Namco Bandai Partners.
	The King of Fighters series has received numerous DIY tournaments at OHN over the years. The King of Fighters XIII is proving to be a return to form for the series, with the game enjoying considerable support from 2D fighting game fans and even becoming the first KOF game to make the official line-up for Evolution.
The top 16 players in KOF13 will receive Road to Evo points and the Final 4 will be streamed on the Sunday of OHNX.
	For some it just wouldn’t be OHN without Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike making an appearance. 3S was an official OHN tournament game from OHN1 to OHN8, and was the main attraction at OHN5 where the Sydney vs. Melbourne rivalry for 3S was at its peak.
While the popularity of 3S has declined since the release of SF4, the game still has dedicated competitors in both Sydney and Melbourne. Which state will claim victory now that the competition has migrated to the PSN release of 3S?
	The classic that started it all returns! It doesn’t get any more “pure” than the arcade version of Super Street Fighter II: Turbo. OHN appears to be the last bastion for ST, a game that missed out in the early days of OHN because the game wasn’t available in Sydney arcades at the time.
At OHN9 the DIY tournament for ST enjoyed an excellent turn-out, with Vlade (ACT) taking the title for Canberra with his dominant Zangief. Will Canberra retain the title at OHNX, or will a competitor from Sydney, Melbourne or elsewhere put an end to Canberra’s ST domination?
	Considered the “spiritual” successor to Guilty Gear, BlazBlue Continuum Shift: Extend is the latest update to the BlazBlue series. Although BlazBlue enjoys the most support in Melbourne, there is a dedicated fanbase for the game in Sydney which includes a number of Soul Calibur players.
Isorropia is working hard to keep this 2D fighter alive in the DIY area at OHNX. If you’re a fan be sure to show your support and participate.
