Fantastic tournament at YesterCades of Somerville. Thanks so much to Gary for taking care of us for this event and all his staff whom I’m less familiar with since I can’t make it up to Somerville on a regular basis like Red Bank. So thanks Ken Kalada for opening the 2nd location, which seems to be a good spot for a lot of players. All games did about the same turnout with the exception of Marvel 3. Where’s Marvel? UMK3:TE had a solid showing with 14 players, 2 players need to be put On BLAST for not getting to signups on time which would have made it 16. This was a free tournament with a $100 bonus supplied by MGFC Chain-Ace. Thanks man! KI turned out 10 very good players, with some missing out on the event for various reasons. This tournament was run on the same weekend as the KI release party tournament was last year. CvS2 and 3rd strike managed to outdraw Marvel 2 getting 8 players per game. Overall around 60 players showed up for this local and had a grand time. Thanks to all my KN staff, Mikemetroid, Ray Riazy, Rapzilla, ChiefGief, Kazi of Always Godlike, DyNicksty of Red Bank Rumble, Chain-Ace of Tunes Tuesdays, and we were pleased to enlist the help of D Speedshifting for KI, who also supplied a $100 bonus for the event. Thank you also to Jaxel of 8wayrun for streaming this event for us again! Thank you to everyone who attended, was patient, had a great time, cleaned up, moved a box. etc. You are all great.

Congratulations to Sonic Fox for winning YET another Injustice Tournament and another Mortal Kombat Tournament. I dare to think about training him in UMK3. He is a true Phenom.

Injustice: Gods Among Us, Mortal Kombat (2011), Killer Instinct, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3: Tournament Edition, Ultra Street Fighter 4, Ultimate Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Street Fighter 3: Third Strike and Capcom Vs SNK 2!
