Huge gaming convention coming to Parsippany, NJ on September 19th and the FGC has been invited to join in. KN is joining up with Red Bank Rumble and Tunes Tuesdays to bring some FGC action.

This event will be spread over 30,000 square feet for venders selling all kinds of games new and old, arcade games, classic consoles, developers, demos and booths like Oculus Rift and even performances by several musical artists in the theater.


We are looking to run Mortal Kombat X, Ultra Street Fighter 4, Super Smash Bros Melee and Brawl, possibly Killer Instinct and Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 if there is interest, in addition a handful of old school games like UMK3:TE, 3rd Strike, Capcom Vs SNK 2, Super Turbo, etc. There will be at least 20 stations in a room around 2800 square feet dedicated to FGC.

This event is tentatively streamed by KombatNetwork as of right now but this could change depending on turnout. Facebook invites have gone out, if you aren't sure what this is, it's going to be fun!

The venue fee for prereg is cheap, only $15 for early bird. All tournament entry fees for the main games are $10, and for the side games will be $5. Entry fees for games to be taken on location in the FGC room for tourny registration.

Do you know if mortal kombat 9 will be at the event as well? If so, i'll attend
We can very easily support MK9 for this event but it is not scheduled. It would be a matter of the right people showing up and sticking it into the line up.

MK9 almost happened at TFC, but was canceled because nobody had controllers to play on! So if you go and want to potentially play MK9, bring your own controller! Just ask @Shock what system it would be played on if it is there.
