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.

So... can we as the community not misuse this chance to play SCV and turn it into some kind of competition over letting people play, give research and feedback to make it a better game rather than letting our inner arcade-nerd machine hog take over this opportunity?

Better take a note book.

 

Oh My Geeaaawwd!!! *FithieRich voice*

I wish I could be there, but I can't wait to see it nonetheless!!!

 

Damn... 10 hours away...

 

Could December come any faster? Please? :/

Black Entertainment Tournament?

 

That sucks, but at least you will still be able to watch online. But man, with this being the last event for SC4, the first on the east coast for SC5, Mick shittalking people, Something-Unique coming out of retirement, France coming over again, LostProvidence losing his damn mind, SCUD in the building, and me poppin bottles, NEC XII is going to be off the fucking hook.

And you KNOW I ain't missin that shit for nothin, lol. Me and my boy BigRichez comin down now for sure. Probably won't even enter SC4, I'm only goin for SC5.

Good to see you guys coming down. And why not enter SC4? It's the final tournament for the game. You never know what could happen.

 

Just requested to take time off for this from work. Hopefully my boss won't be such a cunt.

Why would I bother? I haven't played in over 2 years now, I'd just be a free win for the people that still care. I sure as shit wouldn't play Cervy, that's for sure. So I'd have to REALLY study and learn a new character in a month with only my roomate to try it against.

It sucks too, I never got to play France when I was still competing. Now it won't be the same. Regardless though I'm lookin forward to seeing everyone again. Malice you gotta hook me up with them good ass cheesesteaks too lol. Let me know where the real shit is at.

 

Black Entertainment Tournament?

No.I figure somebody would say that. I use bet in terms of sayin cool. So when I want to say cool, I say bet. Not B.E.T.(Black Entertainment Television)

We had a bunch of people at the last tournament who either haven't played in a long time or was their first time competing. Plus you have a month to start playing again. Man up.

 

See original post.

Ugh...balls...I'm not used to the PS3 Dpad...but I'll make due.
I'm not used to Hilde just yet, but I am looking forward to trying out Raphael, Tira, Ezio, and Viola. :)
