I do not want to subject myself to Chicago winter yet again, but the siren song of the Westin Chicago Lombard calls to me...

This captures a lot of my feelings toward recent discourse. You can play almost any fighting game ever made with rollback *and* find a community to play it with, if you just play what you like you're doing great right now!

Notice: We're aware of several brackets showing incorrect start times on Start.gg. In at least one instance (2XKO), the issue came down to a bug on the site that was corrected after reporting it. Please refer to this schedule image for times, thank you.

Alexalchemy’s Bluesky Thing 🇵🇷🇵🇸 🔜 First Attack 2026 @alexalchemy.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Reason i ask this btw is that unfortunately, First Attack 2026 (Which is the event that i am working on for the BYOC brackets) has posted a series of AI generated slop for their promo instead of hiring actual local artists that ik there are plenty of. Like wtf are we even doing here?

A screenshot of an Instagram post from the official First Attack account where it shows an AI generated image of the 2 main First Attack humanoids doing the Justin Wong/Chun Li pose meme while the background is obviously an AI generated version of the event.

The comments on the right are not happy about it

Maybe we should stop letting the ultra-wealthy set direction for society because these responses are fucking insane

I should probably be playing some Uni and MBAACC ahead of SQXL but actually gearing up to run the event + work have completely fucked any motivation I have to use my brain otherwise.

Early Control Resonant impressions are pretty positive! I have some gripes with the combat but I think they stem from my choice of starting weapon form. The only real knock I have against it right now is the performance, one boss fight in particular had some crazy slowdowns for no apparent reason.

PineappleHour @ SQXL @pineapplehour.com · 23/09/2026

So uh... I pre-ordered Control Resonant so I could pre-load and play tomorrow, and it just let me boot? So I guess this is what I am doing tonight

I would love it if Discord wasn't on some bullshit while we're trying to get the finishing touches put on SQXL. Algorithmically trying to determine the age of account holders is almost certainly doomed to fail, too.

I keep telling myself that if I can make it through SQXL weekend I can rest. That is, of course, a lie, I have a powerlifting meet two weeks later. But it's the lie I need to tell myself right now.

Limited spots for the brackets, but we'll have setups for casuals + badge a pre-ordered merch pickup! The DAC is right next to the convention center downtown too, so it's easy to swing by and get your badge on the way to dinner!

The pre-local is back and this time right next to the convention center! Note that pre-registration for this opens NEXT WEEK. Both brackets are capped (32 for GBVSR/24 for Avatar) so we wanted to give everyone a heads up to reg ASAP if they want to compete, they will definitely cap out!
