(Please see the schedule for the list of games, and when they start!)
This year’s Apex is branching out from primarily a Smash Bros. event, to bring New Jersey one of the biggest tournaments it has ever seen! Aside from the Smash Bros events that Apex’s name was built on, we’re throwing Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Street Fighter 4: AE (2012), and Mortal Kombat 9 into the mix.
Every game hosted by the APEX this year will have a guaranteed pot bonus of at least $500! Brought to you by some of the best sponsors and biggest companies in gaming, we’re guaranteeing this event to be one of the strongest showings, and are amped to bring to you the best competitive gaming has to offer!
We’re going to have two amazingly high quality streams, brought to you by some of the most dedicated people in the business:
Jaxelrod of 8wayrun is mainly famous for both his work in the Soul Calibur community, and his streams for the 8-on-the-Break series, which runs Tuesday nights at 9pm. Jaxel will be on board all weekend, providing you guys with the best possible stream!
Alongside Jaxel, concurrently, we’ll have Bifuteki on board, providing a second HD stream, to ensure the community has as much content coming at them as we possibly can!
Bifuteki, famous for their work at SummerJam2011, and the Salty Battles series, will be heping out Apex with as much hype as they can. Capable of a perfect 720p hd stream, Bifu is going to be bringing you the streams for MK9, SSF4AE, and UMvC3 on Saturday, January 7th!
Also, we’re working with Level|up Live, and Alex Valle to bring you some serious incentive to attend Apex 2012!
First off, any player who attends Socal Regionals will receive a 50% discount off of Apex’s venue fee! So, all you west coasters looking to save some money, and stay in the hype, make sure you’re hitting up SoCal Regionals!
Secondly,* SoCal Regionals* is also going to act as an Apex Qualifier (One more to be announced!) for Mortal Kombat 9, Ultimate MvC3, and Super Street Fighter 4: AE! The top 8 placers in these games will receive seeding points for Apex, to ensure the best and most fair playing field we can possible give!
Pot Bonuses and venue accommodations are brought to you, in part, by:

But I noticed some people are kind of skeptical about going. Specifically college students like myself. I didn’t see it mentioned on this thread, so for all my broke college students who are not aware here is a very cheap way to fly that I plan on using to get to APEX, AirTranU: http://airtranu.com/cheap-student-tickets.aspx
Their flight tickets range from $49 to $99 depending on where you’re located in the U.S. if you can’t afford that then I don’t know what to tell you. The catch is that you have to be between the age of 18-22 to use it. Read the link for more specifics, but that’s basically it. Also as an aside, I’m sure you all can split hotel costs with some fellow smashers or even find housing. So there are several ways to get around costs, and it should be worth it for a worthwhile event. Hope this helped some folks. Get hype!!"

Those traveling from out of country come a very long way to be here at our event. That’s why we want to do our best to provide the best experience before, after and during the event. We will be providing free housing to as many as possible. It may not be possible for everyone but the earlier you let us know you’re attending the easier it will be to set you up with someone who will be willing to house you. If you/and or your group plan on coming early we have a special trip planned!
Since our 2012 event is during the winter and in the beginning of January we will be adjusting our tour to making the following trips:
Nintendo World
Times Square Ball Drop
Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree/Ice Skating
Union Square
For more information see our site.
