I just dug this up, I thought Game Play would be the perfect place since it's regarding tournaments.

I'm sure alot of people wondered when the first tournament on earth was. Let's take this back to Japan circa 1992, light years before Evolution, or Super Battle Opera.......(Scans from Electronic Gaming Monthly January 1993)

The prediction on the 2nd page was dead on.

Good stuff.

Capcom always knew how to push the buttons right marketing-wise.

I've had the issue this article was in when it was first released on the shelves nearly 13 years ago. I found my opportunity to scan it.

The 2nd Major tournament was on August 19, 1993, timing was just right too. It was a month and 8 days after Street Fighter II Turbo came out on Super Famicom.
