This is a special, one night only Windy City Showdown event. Because a dear member of the Chicago community, Steve “Limbo” Lim, will be leaving for good that Friday, we’ll be holding a 3rd-day Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 tournament as part of Thursday’s at GGA. It’s the best way to say hello and goodbye at the same time.
Because this is Limbo’s and UMvC3’s night, it will be the only tournament taking place. There should still be enough room for casuals for people not entering the tournament who want to play Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, or Tekken. This info will be reiterated in the next couple paragraphs as we start the run-down.
The Tournaments: One will be held, in** Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3**.
The Setups: PLEASE BRING EQUIPMENT! If you have a system, game disc, monitor, or cables and you can bring them to the event, please do. We want to make sure we have enough set-ups for both the tournament matches as well as casuals. Be sure to bring your own stick or pad as well.
The Systems: UMvC3 will be held on both systems, but stream matches will be held only on XBox 360. Please be prepared to have to play matches on both systems, especially the 360 since it’s more common and will be preferred. If your controller only permits you to play on one system, please inform the tournament organizer when you sign up for the tournament.
The Price: Entry is $5 for the tournament plus a $5 venue fee. Venue fee should be paid to the front desk upon entering Galloping Ghost Arcade. The tournament entry fee should be paid upon signing up for entry into the bracket(s).
The Payout: The tournament will pay 70/20/10 for top 3 finishers, plus a bonus $5 (for 16-31 entrants) or $10 (for 32 or more entrants) each to all top 4 finishers.
