The event itself will take place on a public server.

    The event will take place this at 7pm BST/ 2pm EDT on our Discord Server.

    By RuneX, in Frontpage,


    Greetings and welcome to our Xbox community article for this week. I hope you had a fun weekend. This article series is our way to report and share with you on what is going on with the AJSA in the Xbox community on a weekly basis. We'll have updates on current projects, upcoming activities, community content ranging from interviews to Youtube videos, event recaps and more. These articles will always contain a copy our Game Nights schedule for the week to keep folks informed about what titles we're featuring and supporting. If you're interesting in getting involved with us on Xbox I'd encourage you to check out our 'Xbox Community Guidebook' where you can get up to speed on what we're all about and how you can start playing with us. If you need help and/or have any questions, please feel free to reach out to any member of the AJSA Xbox Staff for assistance. We'll be more than happy to help you out!
    Xbox Reports
    - Kountdown to Kombat Penultimate Fight Nights -
    This weekend will mark our penultimate Fight Nights as part of our Kountdown to Kombat Series. Our Master of Ceremonies, SHAO SICK, will be leading back to back Fight Night sessions with Marvel vs Capcom Infinite and Mortal Kombat X on Saturday and Sunday, respectively. As announced last week, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite was added as a bonus title to our Fight Nights schedule thanks to its addition to the Xbox Game Pass. Thank you all our amazing Kombatants who've been participating and playing during our sessions! Kountdown to Kombat returns on April 28th, following Easter Break, with Mortal Kombat 11 to conclude the series.
    - Holiday Weekend Notice -
    As a follow up from the article last week, we will not be having any scheduled Game Nights from April 19th to 21st. This small break will be in observance of Easter holiday weekend.
    - AJSA Gaming Youtube -
    There is a new video live over on the AJSA Gaming Youtube channel and this week we have a Game Nights highlight video to share with the community. Taken from the Halo: Master Chief Collection Game Night on March 29th, you'll see numerous clips pulled from our custom matches throughout the evening. Enjoy the highlights!
    If you'd like to view more Xbox related content on the channel, you can check out our playlist here.
    Weekend Game Night Schedule - April 12th to April 14th

    How can I attend a Game Night? - For new members/first time Game Night participants, I highly encourage you to add all the hosts as your friend on Xbox Live (Gamertags are listed for every host below). We also encourage you to join the community Xbox Club (all hosts can be found in the Club roster as well). We use the Club for a variety of purposes to unite members of the community and play together. As an extra reminder for new members, please make sure to review our Code of Conduct.
    To learn more about the AJSA on Xbox One, visit out our Community Information thread.
    For Game Nights and other community activities we use the 'Xbox Live Party' that are created from the Club for communication, gatherings, and other purposes. In the case of an emergency where Xbox Live is down and we need to group up, we will use the AJSA Discord channel as a backup. In our parties we fully accept and make adjustments for people who are shy in groups and/or for people who have no mics.
    If by chance you do not have a Game Night host on your friend list, please message the host for an invite to the game/party during the Game Night and then exchange friend requests upon entry to the party. All Game Night parties will be visible to Xbox Club members under the "Looking for Group" section. You can join the party via the Club or through the profile of the host.
    If you would like to give advance notice to the host that you would like to participate in a particular Game Night, you are free to do so. If you have any questions, please reach out to any members of the AJSA Xbox One staff and we will be happy to assist you.
    All Game Nights are casual gatherings aimed at bringing people together to have a good time and enjoy their games in a group setting.

    Xbox Reports
    - April Fools 2019 -
    Just in case you didn't already figure out that our "Xbox article" yesterday was an April Fools joke, we wanted to confirm that yes indeed it was a silly April Fools joke and nothing in that article ever happened or will happen.
    We wanted to do something a bit odd this year and figured we present a bizarro world scenario of sorts. Frame the article with the normal format with a ton of whacky information to try and trick folks. Rest assured that this article you're reading is the real Xbox article for the week and everything you see here is 100% true....or is it???
    - Kountdown to Kombat Fight Nights Update -
    April will mark the third and final phase of our Kountdown to Kombat Fight Night series here on Xbox One. Organized by Xbox Game Officer @SickShock6, who has taken up the mantle as evil SHAO SICK, this community project originally started back in February with the goal of bringing people together to celebrate and play fighting games across a variety of titles all leading towards the release of Mortal Kombat 11. We've featured games such as Mortal Kombat X, Killer Instinct, Street Fighter IV (via backward compat), and Brawlhalla.
    Upcoming titles for April will feature Mortal Kombat X once again and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 with Mortal Kombat 11 being the final Fight Night at the end of the month to conclude this epic series. However we're not just stopping there....we want to make sure this final phase for Kountdown to Kombat is the biggest and best it can be. We're excited to announce that we're adding Marvel vs Capcom Infinite to the Fight Night rotation this month. Plus, as a bonus unsanctioned fight night, Shao Sick is offering Injustice 2 this Thursday night April 4th.
    This will be one of the biggest fighting game parties of the year! We'd love to have you join up on the fun!
    - Halo Retrospective Series -
    Every Friday night for the month of April (apart from the exception of April 19th) we will be featuring a different Halo FPS title as a Game Night here on Xbox. This 'Halo Retrospective' series will see titles such us venture into games such as Halo 5: Guardians, Master Chief Collection, and Halo: Reach (via backward compat). We'd like to go back to some of these older titles like Reach/Guardians, revisit them, and play together as a group once again. This series is being created to achieve that goal. We hope you enjoy and get to come out to a few of the Game Nights lined up for the series in the next few weeks.
    - Division 2 Xbox Clan Notice -
    We'd like to extend our congratulations to JtK858 who was placed first in our leaderboards for top clan XP score this week!

Sick is a huge fighting game fan so when the MK11 Beta rolled around, he had to get involved! Thank you Sick for taking the time to make the video for the channel! Enjoy:

    Weekend Game Night Schedule - April 5th to April 7th

    How can I attend a Game Night? - For new members/first time Game Night participants, I highly encourage you to add all the hosts as your friend on Xbox Live (Gamertags are listed for every host below). We also encourage you to join the community Xbox Club (all hosts can be found in the Club roster as well). We use the Club for a variety of purposes to unite members of the community and play together. As an extra reminder for new members, please make sure to review our Code of Conduct.
    To learn more about the AJSA on Xbox One, visit out our Community Information thread.
    For Game Nights and other community activities we use the 'Xbox Live Party' that are created from the Club for communication, gatherings, and other purposes. In the case of an emergency where Xbox Live is down and we need to group up, we will use the AJSA Discord channel as a backup. In our parties we fully accept and make adjustments for people who are shy in groups and/or for people who have no mics.
    If by chance you do not have a Game Night host on your friend list, please message the host for an invite to the game/party during the Game Night and then exchange friend requests upon entry to the party. All Game Night parties will be visible to Xbox Club members under the "Looking for Group" section. You can join the party via the Club or through the profile of the host.
    If you would like to give advance notice to the host that you would like to participate in a particular Game Night, you are free to do so. If you have any questions, please reach out to any members of the AJSA Xbox One staff and we will be happy to assist you.
    All Game Nights are casual gatherings aimed at bringing people together to have a good time and enjoy their games in a group setting.
