Mortal Kombat Tournament Info

We’re coming up on another bi-weekly for RBR, and for the first time MK9 will be a featured game. We’re looking to round up as many MK9 players in the Tri-state area as possible. Venue fee is $15 which grants you access to all night casuals for MK9 and SSF4AE 2012, in addition to console casuals will be tournaments, pending a reasonable number of entrants per game, for a $10 entry fee.

The best part of the $15 venue cover fee is 7PM until closing (1AM or later), unlimited access to freeplay arcade machines and pinball. Arcade machines include 90s favorites such as UMK3, MK1, Marvel Vs Capcom, SFIICE, Virtua Fighter, Tekken 3, WrestleMania, WrestleFest, The Simpsons, TMNT, X-men (4 player), Revolution X, NBA Jam, and 80s classics such as various Pac-Man & Donkey Kong, Mario Bros, Joust, Bubble Bobble, Gauntlet, Tetris, Golden Axe, Double Dragon, Final Fight, Duck Hunt, Tron, Altered Beast and dozens more popular arcade games and pinball, last but not least, the infamous Addams Family Pinball. All machines are in considerably good to perfect shape.

So arrive around or before 7PM and let the staff at the counter know you are there for Red Bank Rumble

Perfect Legend, the defending Mortal Kombat Champion from Evo 2011, will be joining the Kombat Network team for Evo 2012. The Kombat Network & Carl “Perfect Legend” White have come to a working agreement that could lead to a future sponsorship and PL will represent KN/EMP at Evo 2012. The tourney, which is held in Las Vegas, happens July 6th-8th this year at Caesar’s Palace. Stay tuned to the Kombat Network & TestYourMight.com for all things MK9 @ Evo 2012!! Good luck to Perfect Legend, MLG Anaheim Champ DetroitBalln & Crazy Dominican!!

As of this afternoon, June 22, we are pleased to announce that KombatNetwork/UltraSpecCables has come to an agreement for a temporary, one time sponsorship to ensure the travel arrangements for EMP Perfect Legend at Evo 2012. He will represent KombatNetwork, along with his own Jersey, like his fellow team mates Crazy Dominican and DetroitBalln313. Should Carl choose to seek future sponsorship with KN down the road is entirely up to him, but for now, let it be known, another heavy hitter has been added to the KN team for Evo. Special thanks to Summoning and Claude Von Stroke for building this bridge.

Recently, TYM member Cibernetico, interviewed Shock on a VSM Thursday Night. Clocking in at almost an hour long, the man who has almost single-handedly given us all we’ve ever known with this MK community, gives us insight on how things were way before MK9, how things are now not to mention opinions, thoughts and lots of others things that only the “Professor MK” can give us. Press play, sit back and enjoy our Godfather.
