Dates for Q-Con XX were announced a few days ago:

Few details at the minute, but going by previous years there should be a decent amount of fightman vidya.

For those who haven't been, this is what it looks like:

I'll almost definitely be at this again. I'll almost definitely loose to Roogle again, too (twice if they make it double elimination; that was a huge oversight last time; pools were 1 game and everything after than was 2/3 single elim).

Registration is now open:

Scavenger XIII

Shame the sticks on the mame setup never get fixed so that garou swag pigeon can steal the show proper.

Fighting games spread over three days.

You have to go Dave. That tourney will be yours free.

Scavenger XIII

Wait, Garou has a 360 slot on Friday night, score.

I have to question the logic of putting the most reviled capcom game in the slot that always gets the most players...

And SSF4 late on a Sunday with two other fighting games. Swap the two imo.

I don't see Third Strike anywhere on that list.

Lythero

Don't go, Dave. I'd have to kick your ass with Link, and I'd hate for you to travel so far just for me to make you cry.

I wasn't thinking about going before, but I might have to after this!

Yreval

Just got home - will have pics and video later.

FG tourney winners:

TTT2 - The Truth
UMVC3 - Lythero
SFXT 2013 - The Truth
BBCSX - SADX
Skullgirls - Christopher Bryant
SSFIVAE 2012 - didn't see the end of this and I'm not sure the winner was even announced at the closing ceremony, but I think The Truth won this
Injustice - SADX
P4A - can't remember his name, sorry!

One thing I'll say right now is that it didn't seem as well organised as previous Q-Cons, but that can probably be chalked up to Q-Con growing faster than anyone anticipated (over 3000 attendees this year). Still had a great time, as always.

K.O.Kiki

I didn't even realise it was on...

Kanped

Yeah, I totally forgot about it. Ended up being busy, anyway but still sorry I didn't make it.

Did Project M go ahead/have a winner?

Apparently not. I think it was replaced by Melee.

SADX won P4A also, tournament guy got his name wrong. It was me and him in Grand finals, guy who announced as the winner wasn't even close :P

Well, I say full, but it still has the wrong guy down as the winner of P4A and there's still no mention of the SF4 tourney..
