Due to popular demand we are adding UNIEL to the KiT 15 game lineup as a side game. It will be run by our anime game director M'Ellis (aka AnneIFrank) on Friday night starting at 8 PM. Entry fee will be $10. Collection of money and making of the bracket will be done onsite by M'Ellis at the venue. Our stream schedule has been slightly adjusted to give UNIEL some broadcast time. www.kitrevival.com/schedule

A lot of people have asked us about UNIEL. It is possible we will add it as a featured side game and give it some stream time. We will have to talk to our anime game director and see if it can work logistically.

We are extending the early registration special of $25 through the weekend. The registration fee will go up to $35 on September 1.

Event schedule is up including our broadcast partners! http://​www.kitrevival.com/schedule

Hey guys, I want to chime in on Guilty Gear at KiT. First, let me say that Guilty Gear should have been on Saturday as a "guaranteed pot" game at KiT because of its long history of support with us, and in retrospect it was a mistake not to put it there. So I apologize to anyone who cannot make it Friday night to play in the tournament. As to why I cannot change it to Saturday? Well of course I can, but everything has a cost. This is really more why I "should not" change it to Saturday at this point: 1. Trust and reputation mean a lot between players and tournament organizers, and I absolutely hate changing things once they have been announced publicly - even if it is a change for the "better" in this case. The decision was made 6 months ago to make Persona a Saturday game and Gear a Friday game - this was all due to tournament numbers being recorded at the time. Six months is a long time and things change - and players don't think 6 months into the future so it only became somewhat of an issue recently. 2. Logistics - we have a tight schedule with pools and streams, and it is completely full. To make Gear a Saturday game at this point would either mean to not stream it or make another game share the stream with it (Persona) 3. I would have to change the sign up page and we would face how to handle people who already registered adding gear to their game list. 4. I don't know if there is enough real impact on turnout if I changed it.

Get ready for another KiT Cast right after the new year! Topics of discussion will be Injustice: Gods Among Us, Killer Instinct, and of course we will cap things off with another drawing. This time we will broadcast live from The Score of Cool Springs. The Score is an important sponsor of KiT and has graciously donated a Dreamcast system with Street Fighter Alpha 3 and a $50 gift card to be raffled off!

Game Directors posted here: kitrevival.com/staff DreamTR “I am a seasonsed tournament veteran with numerous top 8 finishes in national tournaments for Street Fighter Alpha 2, Alpha 3, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Capcom vs SNK I, 2, Mortal Kombat II, UMK3, and MK4 as well as a top 16 national GameStop Finalist in Street Fighter IV. I have been running Midwest Championships, the longest running yearly touranament in the USA, since 1997. I also ran the national Alpha 3 tournament (Daigo Umehara’s first appearance in the USA) and the national Mortal Kombat (MK9) tournament for PDP. I am currently the owner of Game Galaxy Arcade with three locations across Alabama and Tennessee. The Nashville location is the hub for Middle Tennessee fighting games with a weekly fight night and monthly tournaments.” KOkingpin “I have been into the Smash scene since the V-Games days (2005ish). I have been considered the Godfather of Middle Tennessee Smash where I have been in 2 Different crews: TWIPL (Those Who Inhabit Proximal Locations) and Middle TN Smash. I absolutely love this community and continue to play the game through Project M where I am a backroom member. I am excited and scared at the same time for Smash 4. I have messed around with a lot of other fighting games but nothing has ever caught my interest like Smash Brothers. I host weekly get togethers at my place where we also host other fighting games with my best friend and roommate Milln. Our house is pretty much the go to spot for Middle Tennessee to hang out and practice whatever game you want.” Icege “My notable tournament placings are 9th at East Coast Championships 10 (T5.0), 9th at VTYME3 (T5.0), 5th at MLG Philly (T5.0), multiple top 16 finishes at Final Round (T4, T5.0, T5DR), and top 16 at ATL Regionals (T5.0). I am a jack of all trades and a master of none when it comes to games, but Tekken is where my heart is. I’m one of the few original Marduk players from his introduction during T4 remaining, as well as the inventor/discoverer of the VTSc technique during the days of T4 (eff you Japan and your ability to make combo videos before me! D:<). I’ve been organizing local tournaments for well over 10 years and have been a part of the Final Round staff for just under 10 years.” potatosalad “I have played Marvel vs. Capcom 3 since day 1 though I didn’t started playing competitively until the last few months prior to the launch of Ultimate. I hit the ground running as a competitor once UMvC3 came out and haven’t looked back since. To date, I have won about a dozen tournaments amongst states in the SouthEast (AL, TN, GA, NC, FL). I started up the Alabama Turnbuckle Kings tournament series in Huntsville, AL about a year ago to help spark the local community’s interest in improving their play. The Team MARQ crew came about along the same time as a joke among a small group of friends but is slowly starting to be a recognized group in the FGC. Our primary goal now is to develop and showcase the hidden Marvel talent that lies in the SouthEast to the rest of the world through the various sessions, tournies, salty suites, etc. we host or attend.” Gweedo “I recently moved to Tennessee from Florida, where I was an active member of the scene there. I am one of the old guys of the group, married with three kids. I have been into competitive gaming since the Dreamcast and Marvel Vs Capcom. I got into Halo Competing in local events and the early day MLG’s in Halo and Gears of War. I returned to the FGC once I moved from Michigan to Florida. During my time working at EA Sports we played Street Fighter 4 during lunches. Since then I have competed in games such as SSFAE, UMVC3, and Kof XIII with my Main Focus being MK9,Injustice, and TTT2. I have competed at CEO, FR for the last couple years and I help Jebailey, the organizer of the Community Effort Orlando (CEO) tournament, run pools at every monthly and major for the past two years. I also ran a few MK/Injustice tournaments before I left Florida. I hope to start hosting again once I move into a place that has size and allows it.” Vandy “Along with Beely Bounedara, I am the main tournament organizer for KiT 14. When it comes to running tournaments I value time and efficiency to ensure players have the best tournament experience possible. While Tekken is my favorite game, Dead or Alive and Soul Calibur are close seconds and I am very excited about the new Killer Instinct. Though in recent years the birth of my 2 children has kept me from traveling as much as I used to, I have been to places from Texas to Virginia to compete in DOA and Soul Calibur – mainly for SC2, SC3, DOA2U, and DOA4 where I competed under my old name, WoTmanX. With new entries into each series since I last compteted I am committed to seeing them grow. I consider myself a caretaker for these sometimes overlooked games at KiT and I am happy to give them the exposure they need.” Milln “I’ve been running tournaments and managing MTNG (Middle Tennessee Needs Gaming) for around 5 years now. I’ve always been a competitive gamer and had a knack for it. Over the years I’ve met several people that have been integral to my growth both as a fighting game player and as a tournament host. Guilty Gear has been in my life for as long if not longer and I’ve always had an interest in it. I don’t think I’ve met anyone that ever had anything truly negative to say about Guilty Gear. Everyone loves it. BlazBlue and Persona are the new airdasher games and people have taken to them as well, so where there’s competition, there’ll be events! That’s where I come in. My main focus is to give people a place to play and some structure for growth.”

Starting on Monday we will begin to formally introduce our game directors. We are excited about our team! Stay tuned at www.kitrevival.com
