This is an odd situation, as I cannot make it to this one...and it's, AT MOST, 25 mins from me. I'll be in NJ volunteering at the NJ Special Olympics.
Anyway, they're planning on running this on Xbox 360 which, as we know is extremely limited in terms of usable controllers/sticks, and overall an inferior version of the game.
Shock, I know you said you weren't making plans for this. They're running it on Sunday, if that's the case, can you make it? I know that John and Joe will be there for it. If you, Rob, John, Joe, and possibly Simon can make it, it will be a great little tournament.
Rob, if you want to go and Shock can't make it, one of us will give you a little rundown of how to run the tournament(if you want to) and how to set up the sticks/pads simultaneously on MAME.
Sorry I can't make this one this time... but who wants to go to this one?

East Coast Throwdown 2 had a great turnout. There were thousands of eyes watching UMK3 matches being played / streamed and a nice positive response being shown from the crowd and some of the announcers.
Props to those who helped run the tournament: Shock, 9.95, summoning, and Tim Static. And a special thanks to Joe "iloveu" Ciaramelli and John "SweetJohnnyCage" Gallagher for the opportunity and keeping us informed. Mad respect from the MK Kommunity.
And of course, congratulations to the winners and thanks to all of the players who showed up to support UMK3!

Ok everyone, 9.95 posted over on the official Final Burn Alpha forums after a long time of searching for it. He is trying to get the developers to emulate the Wolf Unit Driver, which is the driver that runs the MK games, so that we may eventually see the MK games up and running in 2df/supercade.
We need to support this thread as a community... please make sure that you go there, register and post on this thread. Show the FBA Developers that we're serious about wanting to see MK emulated on Final Burn Alpha!
Please take a couple of minutes out of your day to sign up there and show that you support MK, the more the better. If we get MK added to the game roster on 2df/supercade system, it would easily be the best way to play MK as a community.

Ok, spoke to Shock and Summoning today. UMK3, MK2 and Killer Instinct are confirmed for Winter Brawl! Just like NECX, my buddy Kaldragon will most likely be running SFA2 or SFA3, whichever gets more interest.
If you're planning on making this one, let me know. Easy enough to get ahold of me on any of the MK forums or by AIM.

Your 2009 North East Champion: SUMMONING
Congratulations to Summoning. If you weren't there, and you think you're better than this man, only being at the next major MK2 event can prove it, and that is the bottom line! (cuz 9.95 says so!)
There will be a UMK3 tournament and if the interest is there, an MKII tournament at NEC this year. The turnout last year was pretty good with 16 players for a virtually unadvertised tournament, and is already looking to be good again this year. I will be there Saturday and Sunday as of right now and the specific tournament days will be decided soon. I'm uncertain if I will run both games the same day, but I might have to do both early on Sunday depending on time constrictions, or start Saturday and finish Sunday. Whatever the case may be, players should just show up. If everyone who says "I will come out if there are going to be players there" just showed up, there'd be players there.
Both UMK3 and MKII will more than likely be played on PCs and we'll supply 4 (four) UMK3 format sticks to use for both games, so MKII's will have a run button on them but that won't make a difference. I do not intend on bringing any 360 pads with me, so if anyone wants to use pad they should bring their own. We'll also have a couple SF stick layouts available if necessary. If MKII does not show any interest we can run SF4 casuals on either machine we bring with us, and we will have 20" and 24" wide screen monitors for your viewing pleasure.
We've done a lot for the community over the years even before we made this site, and all we've ever asked if for players to get active and represent MK at tournaments, wherever they may be. We can't everywhere but we try to run as many tournaments as possible in our region. I've run tournaments in 4 states, and in Philly this will be the 6th I've run, and 8th I've been a part of. There have been 3 UMK3 tournaments this year already with double digit player turnouts. They'd be a lot higher if everyone who says they would show, actually did. Tournaments are a great and fun experience, you meet a lot of people, and there are endless games to choose from. You don't all play just MK.
Start up time either day will most likely begin around 4PM, and I would personally be willing to accept late entries until the first Round is complete, as I generally have leeway on tournament coordination. The later we start, the less likely the tournament will finish. No more 6PM or later starts.
Anyone interested in going, you know how to contact me.
