OK guys, big update to the first post. Here's the rundown:
Joe and I have decided to divide the $1500 bonus amongst ALL games aside from Smash. These seemed to be the general consensus across all forums, and we agree with you guys. Here is the breakdown:
- Super Street Fighter IV - $500
- Tekken 6 - $325
- Melty Blood - $200
- Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix - $125
- Tatsunoko vs Capcom - $100
- Marvel vs Capcom 2 - $100
- Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike - $50
- Guilty Gear XX Accent Core - $50
- Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 - $50

As I'm sure you've all seen on the front page of SRK this morning, ECT has been chosen as the venue for the east coast EVOLUTION 2010 qualifier for all EVO games. We are currently working on getting Marvel onto PS3 so we can have that as a qualifier too. The 1st and 2nd place winners from SSFIV, Tekken, Melty, HD Remix, and TvC will each receive a seed in this year's EVOLUTION 2010 tournament in Las Vegas. This is a supreme honor that we're ecstatic to have received, and we promise to put on one hell of a show. The winner of Super SFIV will ALSO STILL RECEIVE a full paid flight and seed to GAMME in Orlando in June AND the prize money. How could you possibly beat that prize?!!??!

I have updated the first post with a bunch of things, including the official ECT2 trailer by Ian Cofino, as well as our official poster by Ian Cofino and Jigsaw is FnA. We can't thank either of these guys enough for their continued work and support for this event.
We have also gotten rid of BlazBlue Continuum Shift due to no console release in the near future.

If you guys have any questions, please feel free to post them in the thread, and be sure to post up your names and locations so we can get you all added to the pre-reg list. One last thing, rooms must be booked by April 30 in order to receive the room rate of $89/night. After April 30, the rooms shoot up to about $129/night, so I'd highly suggest getting your room ASAP!! The phone number of the hotel is in the first post (be sure to ask for the East Coast Throwdown discount!), as well as a link to book online.

We have said this before and we will say it many more times. Thanks for your continued support and let's make ECT2 an event to remember! Get hype!!!!!!!!!
