INFO
Joe "iloveu" Ciaramelli (aka Long Island Joe) and John "SweetJohnnyCage" Gallagher present East Coast Throwdown 4 in Morristown, New Jersey.
From the Shoryuken thread:
East Coast Throwdown 3 marked a new milestone for the ECT legacy. Every year we nearly double attendance. In 2009, we had a mere 168 players come down to compete in one of the most tense weekends in east coast fighting game history. Players fought through a gauntlet for a chance to play on Team East Coast at Evolution that year. East Coast Throwdown 2 was no different, only that year it was 344 players coming to New Jersey. In 2011, we relocated to a bigger venue, and were one of the first tournaments on the East Coast to host playable demos of Street Fighter X Tekken as well as Skullgirls. ECT3 was also the year that the a west coast player by the name of Michaelangelo took the East Coast's money in Mortal Kombat 9 in one of those most visceral fights versus Chris G. Needless to say, East Coast Throwdown 4 will be no different.
Hello everyone! Joe on the mic here. First I want to say thank you for the continuous support of this event. Every year just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I am sure this year will be no different. I would like to go over a few things which occurred at last years event. We ran into a few problems last year day 1 of the event. These problems were a conglomeration of preventable issues i.e. staff attendance, pool runners, and others things we couldn't have prepared for. We were one of the first to have AE console tournament. It was before the disc was. All of our systems had AE on it but for some reason a handful of them wouldn't load the game properly. This really hurt the AE bracket in general. There was also power outage along the whole left wall which hindered a few different games start and finish time. We have taken these major problems into consideration and already have more staff on hand for this coming year and an extra power supply ready to go. Using the EVO pool system should also make things run a bit more smooth allowing our players to not feel rushed or stretched between the different games.
I want to say I am very excited for this year. I have met some of my best friends through this community by traveling and playing. I hope we can create the same experience for you guys. There is no other community I'd rather be apart of. Thanks everyone for the ongoing support.
Joe and I are really happy with the direction that this tournament is moving in. With an exciting lineup of brand new titles as well as returning favorites, 2012 and East Coast Throwdown 4 are shaping up to be one hell of a year. So, without further ado, here's the information for this year's event!
WB Games and NetherRealm are throwing in an extra $1K into the pot for MK, while UMvC3 will have a $3K bonus, provided by One Frame Link. Autumn Games is also sponsoring the Skullgirls tournament, offering a cash bonus as well as a custom Foe Hammer arcade stick (no pics currently available).
East Coast Throwdown 4 will host the biggest money match in MvC3's short history on Saturday: Fanatiq vs. RayRay. Each player is backed by several thousand dollars (not sure of the amount) and the winner of this FT15 will settle who has the better Magneto.
Another money match that will take place on Saturday, before the Fanatiq-RayRay match is OmG iTz Andre vs. Unkn0wn. A little beef between the two got started at Civil War 4 in April, and so the two are settling the dispute via money match.
