Yep, that’s right: The gnarly dudes from Capcom are staging a super elite Street Fighter IV competition a month before the much-awaited titled is set to drop stateside. A tournament will be set up with contestants selected from entry submissions to the e-mail address iwannaplaystreetfighteriv@gmail.com

Just send ‘em your name, PSN ID, and a little blurb about why you’re awesome enough to compete in the tournament, and they might wake your mom up in the middle of the night to tell her that you’re going to Vegas to kick butts on the PlayStation 3.

Only twenty players will be selected, and each person selected to compete will be permitted to bring one guest to tag along and cheer on the fun. This is going to be a riled-up, action-packed, caffeine-fueled fightfest, so make sure to stay plugged in for further updates and for roster announcements.
