Welcome back everyone!
As we mentioned to everyone who attended our first monthly, we have our details for February's monthly console tournament. Many of the details are the same but we are changing some things to simplify and improve. Also with the launch of MvC3 around the corner, we've added it as one of the feature tournaments in this month's event. As well, due to popular demand we've added in a BlazBlue tournament into the ...mix. The other tournaments you saw last month are returning as well so you can expect to see a healthy representation for Smash and SSF4. All the details are below, keep in mind that details are subject to change. Also note that MvC3 is a brand new game so rule changes may occur frequently as people undoubtably discover broken
combos that need to be banned
