I'll be running this tournament and MK9 will be a featured game. We will probably have some old school MK arcade tournaments as well.

Stay tuned for an announcement about a winner getting a plane ticket to EVO possibly for this tournament as well.

You have quite possibly the best news of the day for me... I had to pull out of FR because of it being too far away, but nashville is only 4hrs away. Very possible I can make it to this tournament.
 
We are probably "not" going to have a stream just because the internet is so terrible in the mall, we tried last SBO and it didn't happen but never say never.......though one of these days I am going to be a proponent of a "paid" stream when they get to be 100% watchable...

Considering making the 6 hour drive. It'll only be worth it if there's hella casuals. How's the casual setup situation?

Osu16Bit: From what I saw at SBO qualifiers last year, there was a lot of casuals going on. It'll probably be even bigger this year. I'll consider finding a cheap-ass TV and bringing my Dreamcast for MvC2 and Project Justice, and my N64 for WWF No Mercy - maybe a PS2 for games like 3S, and Guilty Gear.

Which by the way MWC IS LESS THAN THREE WEEKS AWAY, PEOPLE.

If you aren't at East Coast Throwdown, you best be in Nashville for this!

ok since you know this is going to be 360 will you have it online so we get the hotfix patches?

I don't think so, typically wireless controllers are frowned upon or banned entirely because of syncing issues.

An X-Converter 360 will let you use a wired PS1/2 controller on 360, those are lagless and completely allowed.

That reminds me, I need to get one...and get my room taken care of.
 
Also to whoever is running this I wanted to ask if it would be ok for me to try and sell my arcade sticks while I play in this tourney. I've been trying to sell on craigslist for like 3 weeks and no luck. Thanks

Definitely will be there to get my butt kicked and take notes. I'm not very good, but this game is very fun to play and watch.

Good luck this weekend, Jason, blinky and crew. Wish i could be there. Wish i could be in NJ too. I need to be cloned! But seriously, good luck. Cant wait to hear about it and hopefully see some match vids.

Jason using the MK2 Jax pic on SRK is a scary thing. :invisible:
