Sweet. Definitely wanna try to make this.

OK, some RT here.

A) Should we allow Skarlet and Kensi?

Debate

are skarlet and kensi banned from evo? i’d stick to test your might/evo ruleset

This is 995Phil… without a doubt, Skarlet, Kenshi, AND Rain will be banned until after EVO. This is a pre-cursor to EVO, so the same ruleset should be used. No Kratos(if we use PS3), no Kratos Stage, no Street Stage, no DLC costumes, no DLC characters.

Sup … if I go I’ll probably go 0-2 like I do, so is it cool if I photograph the remainder of the event after that? Trying to step my photo game up, and LB would be a nice venue to shoot.

going for marvel and ae this time.

Proper Artwork is finally updated. We were playing around with going PS3 for MK9 but it would not be on a nice split screen setup so we might postpone introducing PS3 for until SB4. North NJ MK9 scene is starting to grow strong.

Updated Artwork yet again!

looks like im going to this one too huh well it should be a blast hope you guys wont mind

Hey Del1rium, We would be more than happy if you would like to photograph our event. Feel welcomed to do so. :slight_smile:

Update: MK9 Rules from 995Phil has been posted. MK9 will run on PS3 after all.

Awesome … looking forward to it.

ends up i got work on friday until 6:15. not sure if i can drive out there either. if anyone can scoop me up from my work or my place both in wyckoff let me know. NEED that offline play.

1 day away folks! Get this event hyped via FB, Twitter, TXT, SneakerNet and old school smoke signal.
