It was out pleasure to be invited to this event with Seth Killian and his team from Capcom, it was a varitable cornucopia of GPX Staff and Sponsored players at this event.  It was a lot of fun and we got to help showcase what we believe is a great game.  

This was an amazing weekend for Tatsunoko vs Capcom, not only did we get a chance to introduce as many people as possible to this title we were able to get soem veteral players from the Cross Generation of Heroes (The Japanese Import Release) which did not feature some of the newer characters like Zero (my personal favorite) as well as Joe the Condor and Yatterman 2 were in attendance to give Keits, Jeff and Joe some competition.  

We held a private session at the local home of one of the best Melty Blood players in the East Coast Victor "Spooky" Fontanez and ran a solid 200+ person Stream throughout the night with all of us commentating on the stream and showcasing all the new characters, combos and new loops into supers.

While Tatsunoko was the main focus of our weekend we decided to take some of our players to Philly early on Friday for a Street Fighter IV tournament that was run by Zack "Kattermari" Katterman, which has a nice 32 man bracket - We sponsored Sanford "Santhrax" Kelly and Andre "Jago" Lambert - Sanford took Grand Championship, while Andre took 3rd losing to Sky who is a solid and amazing Philly player.  believed by many in the east coast to have the best Honda game in the US versus Mike Ross.  

Sunday was BattleField Arcadia X - one of their largest to date, had over 50 players come out and support the community.  Sanford Kelly took Grand Championship here Seconded by Kevin "Dieminion" Landon's amazing Guile Skills...newcomer to BattleField Arcadia events, Insane with an amazing Blanka performance powered his way through to take 3rd - lots to see from this great player!

Seb and Damdai were present for BattleField.  Seb streaming to his ever popular website www.frame-advantage and Damdai who created an amazing tournament website www.tonamento.com.

Aside from these events, GPX was present at another release party Tuesday night at Arctica Bar held by Game Over - we helped showcase Tatsunoko vs. Capcom and recorded Javier "Demarcus" Guevara and myself performing combos and showing off the baroque system.  Michael "IFC Yipes" Mendoza and Andre "Jago" Lambert were also showing some of their old school skills from  Marvel vs Capcom 2 in this title.

It was a busy weekend for events, tournaments, promotions and talking about GAMME.  We made our announcement to Destructoid that interviewed us that we were officially placing $1000 as a bonus pot to Tatsunoko vs Capcom @ GAMME making the first official Major for the title in the US.  Seth was elated with a huge smile when we told him our intentions for this title and how much support we want to give it.  

We spoke with Niitsuma-Sempai and he is excited about the release in america and hopes that the players get behind it as solidly as they have for other titles like Street Fighter IV.  

Keits was helping me work on my 2A A B 2B ~ C 3C A A B C P+A A A B C QCF B+C

which was a great combo into baroque Combo Super.  Keits was wearing his awesome ties repping the Tatsunoko love.  

Overall a great weekend.  Next weekend we do it all over again, this time in South Florida in Davie and Will's Pub next monday.  Strongstyle also has their Tekken event with some international players coming in this weekend as well as some Tallahassee tourneys, going to be another busy weekend for GPX - HYPE.

We have a ton of projects coming up in the next couple weeks,  between now and January 20th we have KIT:R in Tennessee, GPX will be taking 3 of its players down to Nashville to see where we can place, Sanford, Andre and Fighting GM will be representing both GPX and Empire Arcadia.

MaGFest was a resounding success this year, we were able to successfully run all the tournaments throughout the weekend within the projected time slots and make sure everything was according to plan.  We had some kinds as expected that we were as a team able to work with and fix on the spot as they occurred.  We of course had some minor issues in the smash community, but we took care of that as well...

KIT:R One of the biggest Major's for Tekken in the Southeast is this weekend and MLG returns to Orlando.  Pound 4 is around the corner Jan. 16th as well up here in the Maryland Area.

I will be flying out to Japan on the 20th and getting some vital work done for an event I help plan and will be getting some time at God's Garden as well to promote there for GAMME.  

We have so much to talk about from MaGFest, more information will come for that after the weekend!
