« GAMESTOP TOURNAMENT DETAILS REVEAL EVO2K9 DATE »

Gamestop updated their site with the official rules and prizes for the Street Fighter IV tournament they are hosting where you have a chance to win a Street Fighter IV arcade unit (I thought this was only for the pre-orders) and be automatically entered into EVO2K9. Not bad right? Well, sure, except for one small detail: you are forced to use a Xbox 360 pad to play.

Not being able to use your own equipment in a tournament like this should make the results interesting. Either way, this is worth checking out considering what is on the line.

One other detail mentioned in the rules, EVO2K9 will be held in Las Vegas, NV on July 17th-19th.

I wasn't expecting anything else, but... whackest.ruleset.ever.

I am glad the game is getting this sort of attention, just wish it was gonna be repped better.

I wonder if they intentionally banned sticks so pro players wont just steamroll through people who havent had more than a couple weeks with the game or who are just pad warriors to begin with.
