It all started back on November 30 of last year. Haxan was sick of the little kids that plague online gaming and wanted to find some real challengers. So he turned to Dtoid and came up with the Destroy Haxan contest over on his Community Blog where the grand prizewinner would be receiving a copy ofStreet Fighter IV.
From December up until mid January, Haxan battled Dtoiders inSuper Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remixon both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360. The winners were announced a couple of weeks back, but before seeing who won, hit the jump to see the entire journey to the finals.
Each day of the competition, Haxan devoted at least a minimum of two hours of his time a night to playSuper Street Fighter II HD. Haxan would accept any challenger, but it wasn’t as simple as that. Most of the matches were themed matches and players would have to play as a specific fighter on specific days against Haxan. The upside to this though was that players could play as cheaply as they wanted to, such as spamming the shit out of Hadoukens if they wanted to. There were bonus days, though, and participants could play as anyone they would have liked.
Since the contest started, Haxan blogged almost every other day with the results from the competition and kept up aForum threadwith all of the info too.
Here’s a recap of the blogs for the contest:
Haxan has put in a lot of time and his own money into the competition. He played people in both versions ofSF II HD, went through hell to get a perfect D-pad on his Xbox 360 controller, and put in hours of his personal time during his busy work schedule to play Dtoiders in the game.
Nilcam, one the competitors in the contest was extremely grateful for everything Haxan had done andactually sent him some giftsas a thank you. Haxan got a copy ofStreet Fighter Alpha: Generationson DVD and Udon’s ‘Street Fighter Tribute’ art book.
The contest finally came to a close on January 15 and thewinners were revealed. Taking the grand prize ofStreet Fighter IVis DanMartigan, who won the competition with 80% of the wins with senisan82 close behind him at 75% wins.
Nilcam won the award for best attendance in the competition and will be receiving theStreet FighterFight Night T-shirt from Meatbun.us. The cheapest fighter award goes out to Genki-Jam and he’ll be receiving thisbadass golden Blankastatue that Haxan worked on for Genki-Jam. Finally, Char Aznable won the runner-up prize to the cheapest fighter award and will be getting some kind of random crap.
Everything Haxan did here is pretty much awesome. So much so that I got in touch with a buddy of mine over at Capcom and showed him everything Haxan has done here. He was really impressed with it and is actually working on sending Haxan a cool little package ofStreet Fighterswag.
Thanks again for everything you did Haxan. You rock! Go uppercut waterfalls!
