This year we will be hosting a series of online events with a format we have currently dubbed “Retro”. This format will go all the way back to 2010, when Jasco first obtained the Universal Fighting System. Our plan is to use this event series to begin to craft what we hope will grow into a permanent format to be played at some events.

For now, we will host these events online using a digital platform. Players can play in any number of events, earning points and prizes for each event. The top point earners after the event series will be invited to play in a final event for even more prizes!

What is Retro Format?

The Retro format will encompass the time period beginning with Jasco’s first set, Red Horizon, and extending all the way to the present with our most recent set, Soul Calibur VI: Libra of Soul. It will have its own ban list (presented below) that will change throughout this series as we hone in on what’s the best format we can make with such a large card pool available.

For at least the first event, we will be hosting games on the Tabletop Simulator, found on the Steam games launcher. You can watch the video linked below (Thanks to TCG University!) to learn how to set up Tabletop Simulator to play UFS. All events will take place over the course of a weekend, with every effort made to finish events in a single day. Rounds will be posted with 75 minutes to begin, set up, and play your match. Deck lists and deck files must be submitted before the event begins.

NOTE: Please see the bottom of the page for rules updates.

 

Saturday, November 14th. Round 1 will begin at 9am Pacific Time Zone.

The final event is on December 19.
