Since both 1UP and IGN have shared an office for the past six months, we decided it time to test the competitive waters and kick off the first in a series of future versus-style video game matchups. The first game to chronicle our friendly 1UP/IGN rivalry is Soulcalibur V, the latest installment in the highly-revered Namco Bandai fighting game series.

Our editors competed in a best of five series on Friday to claim early bragging rights. Batting up for your friendly neighborhood Team 1UP: Jose Otero, Marty Sliva, James Hayes, Eric Sapp, and Ryan Winterhalter. Meanwhile, Team IGN consists of Mark Ryan Sallee, Destin Legaire, Steven Hopper, Jack DeVries, and Ryan Clements.
