SweetJohnnyCage Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Ladies and gentlemen, Joe "iloveu" Ciaramelli (AKA Long Island Joe) and John "SweetJohnnyCage" Gallagher are proud to present: East Coast Throwdown V http://ecthrowdown.com http://facebook.com/ecthrowdown http://twitter.com/ecthrowdown =================================== SPONSORED BY: One Frame Link Mad Catz The VideoXGames UltraSpec Cables Atlus =================================== East Coast Throwdown 4 was easily the most fun we've ever had at a tournament. The energy in that room was simply electrifying throughout the entire weekend. From the intense exhibitions between OMG itz Andre vs Unk0wn and RayRay vs Fanatiq to the nail-biting finals between Justin Wong and RayRay. And that was just Marvel! ECT4 also marked the first tournament with international presence from Asia. AverMedia's GamerBee was in attendance last year and proved to be quite the threat in every game he entered. It was truly an honor to be able to host a legendary player such as Bruce and we'd be happy to welcome anyone from around the world to our event. Joe and I were really pleased with the way ECT4 was run. We finally have systems in place to make sure everything runs as efficiently as possible with minimal delay. Our pre-registration system worked flawlessly and about 90% of you guys saved yourselves some dough and registered early. This allowed us to start on time and finish early. We received awesome feedback from the community and we're more than pleased to be bringing ECTV to you guys. We hope everyone who came last year will come back again for more spine-tingling excitement. The stuff we currently have in the planning stages has, and I quote from Joe himself, "the energy to bring back Jesus". So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, we're ecstatic to present East Coast Throwdown V! =================================== Hyatt Morristown 3 Speedwell Avenue Morristown, NJ 07960 (973) 647-1234 =====MASS TRANSIT INFORMATION!!!===== To get to the hotel using mass transit, please take the Morristown Train Line from Penn Station in New York to the Morristown station. =================================== HOTEL ROOM RESERVATIONS CAN BE MADE @ http://ecthrowdown.com/hotel/ =================================== ONLINE PRE-REGISTRATION IS NOW LIVE! http://www.ecthrowdown.com/registration =================================== We will be using the same ultra-efficient pool system we used at ECT4. By ensuring that around 16 or 32 (depending on the game) people are in each bracket, pools can run very fast and very efficiently. I will be doing brackets by hand again this year in order to better guarantee that people don't have to play 2 games at once. Since we're using smaller brackets, there will be more pools available to place players in, making sure you guys don't have to be in 2 places at once. Just report to your pool, stick around for 2-3 hours depending on how you play, and you're done! If you do have to play more than one game at a time, it is YOUR responsibility to tell your pool handler that you're in another game. If you go missing for 20 minutes because you were playing in another tournament, you might get DQ'd because the handler doesn't know where you are. =================================== The games that will be held as main tournaments are as follows: Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition v2012 (Xbox 360) - $10Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (Xbox 360) - $10Street Fighter X Tekken (Xbox 360)Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PlayStation 3) - $10Mortal Kombat 9 (PlayStation 3) - $10Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike Online Edition (PlayStation 3) - $10Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (MAME on PC, sticks will be provided) - $5King of Fighters XIII (PlayStation 3) - $10Soulcalibur V (PlayStation 3) - $10BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend (PlayStation 3) - $10Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (PlayStation 2/Or Console of Community's Choice) - $10Darkstalkers: Resurrection (Vampire Savior) - $10Persona 4 Arena (PlayStation 3) - $10Skullgirls (PlayStation 3) - $10Dead or Alive 5 (Xbox 360) - $10 This list is subject to change, but we don't think we'll be deleting any games from it unless there is barely any community support.

SweetJohnnyCage Posted October 22, 2012 Author Posted October 22, 2012 Whichever system you guys want to run GG on after the +R release comes out, let us know and we'll take care of it. We're gonna work on getting sponsorships for the anime community as well this year. Since we're far away from E3 we -should- have an easier time securing them. Any ideas/suggestions LET US KNOW!
SweetJohnnyCage Posted January 17, 2013 Author Posted January 17, 2013 Hotel room reservations can be made, book now! I put the link in the first post. Also guys, Winter Brawl 7 marks the start of the East Coast TEKKEN TAG TOURNAMENT 2 Circuit, so be sure to head there for your shot at a free flight to Final Round XVI!
St1ckBuG Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 What's good? Who's planning on coming to this? Should be when Summer vacation starts for a lot of people.
Kurushii Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 Oh snap Blazblue?! I may have to check my schedule.
SweetJohnnyCage Posted January 20, 2013 Author Posted January 20, 2013 You know us guys, whatever you want to run, run it and we'll do our best to get it on stage. We're going to work out a full stream schedule to ensure everything gets some time on the big screen.
TrueGunnerShadow Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 What's good? Who's planning on coming to this? Should be when Summer vacation starts for a lot of people. Am I the only one who's interest?
OchiChernye Posted January 23, 2013 Posted January 23, 2013 I will more than likely be there. Gone the past two years, why stop now?
kibafangex Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 awesome cant wait! this will be my first tournament ill be participating in :D
pneuma Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Does anyone know what the parking is like? Will it be available at the hotel if not actually taking a room? Not used to jersey....
Mr.Biscuits Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Parking at the venue is excellent. Just make sure you get it validated at the hotel front desk.
blueNINE Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 (edited) In there for Guilty Gear (and Street Fighter)! It would definitely make sense to run Guilty Gear on PS3, since that's what the rest of the tournament will be running on, and what most tournaments have been using lately. Also allows us to use either monitors or CRTs. Edited February 28, 2013 by blueNINE
SweetJohnnyCage Posted February 28, 2013 Author Posted February 28, 2013 Does anyone know what the parking is like? Will it be available at the hotel if not actually taking a room? Not used to jersey.... Parkign is indeed excellent as Alan said. Just bring your ticket to the front desk and ask them to validate it. Once they do that, you stick the ticket in the machine at the gate and you're good to go. If you don't get it validated, you have to pay a fee, SO GET THAT ISH VALIDATED!
SweetJohnnyCage Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Registration is now online! We've also added Vampire Savior to the roster http://ecthrowdown.com/registration Hotel rooms are also going fast!
TrueGunnerShadow Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Are wireless DS3's allowed? As long as you have a USB Plug in your controller then yeah.
Elochai Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Any cheap method of public transportation from NYC to this venue?
Alzarath Posted March 16, 2013 Posted March 16, 2013 Any cheap method of public transportation from NYC to this venue? Cheapest AFAIK is NJ Transit. $26 round trip and it drops you off within walking distance to the venue.
MastaToken Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I'll be there. Already reserved my room...just need to register lol.
SweetJohnnyCage Posted April 5, 2013 Author Posted April 5, 2013 REMINDER: Pre-registration ends May 4 and the emergency registration fee jumps to $45 at the door! Save $15 and help us out by pre-registering today! Hotel rooms will also be selling out very soon. More rooms are being added today but are sure to sell out quickly! www.ecthrowdown.com
VR-Raiden Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Theres a decent chance I could make this, are GG/P4/BB starting on Saturday?
DaiAndOh Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Theres a decent chance I could make this, are GG/P4/BB starting on Saturday? As far as I know yes. Just as ECTs before them!
