SB:V Teaser Trailer, by Seth Mussey:

Season’s Beatings: The Mecca of Marvel and Origin of “IT’S MAHVEL BABY!” Six years of All-Star players and Dream-Team Special Events. One more year at a legendary venue.

Chris Hatala (Ghaleon), Harmon Tam (nomrah) and FUGEE are teaming up to drive one of the world’s largest tournaments toward a new future, at breakneck Velocity.

Last year 700 players from 40+ states and a half-dozen countries, along with hundreds of thousands of viewers, watched Daigo rescue Team World from defeat with an unforgettable flourish (10:45) at Team U.S.’s hands in a 5-on-5 extravaganza.

Justin Wong achieved Redemption against his Evo 2010 nemesis, Gamerbee -- but in the end Gamerbee in turn Redeemed himself and won the 412-player SSFIV tournament.

This October, together with media and promotions by Team Spooky, Cross Counter, and SB/Evo motion graphics artist Seth Mussey, Season’s Beatings: Velocity bids a final farewell to our roots as we merge OG with the New Age of Hype.

We'd like to thank our sponsors: Brokentier, EventHubs, FocusFire, and Cross Counter

See you there, Tim.

Webster, I might be able to take you. Haven't worked out all the details yet.

ETA

If they're using FF's equipment, I sure hope they get the updates/characters sorted for their systems. At FxS only 1 or 2 systems had all the characters.

Roger that. Looking forward to hanging out with you guys again. I'll be coming with Chaosphere, and maybe digi, depending on the logistics of it all. BTW Tim, you have one of those ps2 converters for Xbox that doesn't require a wired controller? Looking to buy ;]

Looking into the possibility of coming to this. Only a 50$ bus ride there and back but I'd have to coordinate Toronto to Pittsburg then Pittsburg to Columbus. Gonna be a bitch, but if I get a job by then, definitely going to try and make it.

Who cares? If I went out, I'd be playing Cyber Sub, and he'd get crushed the minute I run into a Kabal. Going to a tourney should be more about having fun than actually winning anything.

Anyway, I'm trying to make it out. I think I have a room lined up, but I'm not sure I can get out there on such short notice. I can fly over to Windsor for cheap, but after that, I still need to figure out how the hell I'm going to take the bus to Columbus from there. I think it's doable, but I can't confirm anything.

Still, you have NO idea how badly I want to go. I'm really looking forward to seeing all of you there. Can't wait to get blown up before I get out of pools!
