I want to get this out in the open now, since there are a couple other events going on. Originally this was slated for October 26th but I don’t want to go against the Filthy Cup (props to Filthy Rich for letting me test KI3 at TFC) due to proximity. Other events on this day are hundreds of miles away so I think we’re good.
The current start time is 5PM, which means tournaments will start at 7PM sharp. There is a chance the start time will get advanced to 4PM, and tournaments will then start between 6 and 7. We will attempt to make a legit stream schedule since Jaxel will be streaming this event for us. We would like to thank 8 Way Run for helping us with this event as streaming at YesterCades is an arduous task when you also have to run the tournament.
As of right now we’re running Injustice, AE, Marvel, Melee, Brawl and maybe CvS2 if time and space allows, it should. Last time we got 110 players for the event spread across 7 games. The goal number is around 80-90 with ideally 32 for Injustice being key. We’ll also have UMK3, MvC2 and Super Turbo all on cabinet equipped with PSX/2 controller mods. Any of these cabinets can be used for side tournaments and accommodate 99% of players since you can use PS gamepads on them.
