Soulcalibur V & TTT2 Playable AT NEC XII

This morning, Big E who has been running fighting game tournaments in the Philadelphia area for over a decade has officially announced that a playable build of Soulcalibur V will be at North East Championships XII, which is being held at the Sheraton Suites on December 3-4, 2011 in Philadelphia, PA.

Also available to play will be Tekken Tag Tournament 2 on arcade cabinet. You can find more details about both games after the break. If you haven't registered for NEC XII, you can do so online at NEC Philly website.

NEC XII was already shaping up to be an amazing event for the Soulcalibur community, and now this announcement puts it over the top, so I would like to thank Big E, HuBBs, FilthieRich, & Namco Bandai Games for making this possible. I hope to see everyone here. You don't want to miss out on this event.

For NEC XII Attendee Entertainment…Namco Bandai Games Presents…

Playable beta builds for Tekken Tag Tournament 2 and Soul Calibur 5!
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will be playable on an official arcade cabinet hosting up to 8 players and Soul Calibur 5 will be playable on the PS3 (number of set ups TBD). This is the FIRST and possibly the ONLY time TTT2 will be playable prior to launch on the east coast and the FIRST ever USA public beta for Soul Calibur 5. If you were ever on the fence about coming to NEC XII this should make your decision easy!

If you still cannot make it, don’t worry. Both games will be streamed over the weekend by 8WayRun. You can find a link to their stream here: http://www.twitch.tv/8wayrun

Most importantly, this is all possible to Namco Bandai Games and more specifically Rich “FilthieRich” Bantegui of Namco Bandai Games. This is an incredible opportunity they are giving us and all of our attendees so let’s make them feel welcome over the weekend by playing some of their games and stopping by their booth to check out some of their awesome Namco Bandai Games licensed merchandise for sale!

And as a special Bonus we will be Having the first Ever TTT2 Tournament, more detail coming later.

So lets go SC players step up.

Spectator fee is $20.

Idle make sure we chat, preferably over cheeseburgers.

...or the body of a 12yr olds naked corpse...

...whichever you prefer really.

When I liked this post, I read that last line as "Which you prefer, really."

 

Spectator fee is $20 when I checked the other day.

General venue fee on the pre-reg site is $31.50, so I dunno what the difference between that and a "spectator fee" is. In any case I just heard from one person that we had to enter SC4 to play SC5, I haven't heard it confirmed from Jay or Eric yet. And it's a difference of 10 bucks regardless. Just sign up with a goofy name, forfeit your matches in that trash game, and go back to SC5. It's really not that big a deal, just kind of a lame idea I thought.

 

You can't enter in any tournaments with a spectator fee. That's the difference.

 

thanks Chach I'll make sure to always pick the blue one. Unless Nightmarica is there in which case, fuck that.

hey what do you mean by "nightmarica" nighty is not gay he is a beast

 

I don't think well be running all stations as a winners-stays-on station : I will sacrifice sleep, and eating delicious cheese steaks by bringing extra setups to split between casual stations | regular stations.

One of the key things i want to come back to the office with is direct feedback w/o any pressure -

Stay Classy FGC

 

Kinda messed up that you'd have to enter SC4 to play 5, since people are already paying that CRAZY venue fee to simply get in.

That wont be the case- We are encouraging people from all fighting games to play SC V

"Nightmarica" is an Americanized Nighty that is Red, White, and Blue with an eagle for a head. By NO means should he ever be considered gay.

ok excuse me its just I thought "nightmarica" was in spanish, in spanish it would mean nightmare was being called gay, like the equivalent of calling someone named jason and renaming him as "gayson", get it? i hope you do

Great event

 

Damnit I'm not in that Region. >.<

 

It's good to know you don't have to enter the SC4 tournament to try 5 out. I haven't played SC since 3 and I played very little 4. 5 will get me back on my feet. 2 more weeks and a couple of days, people! GET HYPE! :D
