Capcom-Unity posted a blog with a small update on Cross Assault. Capcom has now teamed up with the Evolution 2012 and because of this announcement have extend the entry phase to become an contestant on the show until Wednesday, February 8th.With the news that Street Fighter X Tekken is to be an official tournament game at Evo – the largest fighting game tournament in the world – Capcom and Evo are teaming up to offer Street Fighter X Tekken tournament seed points to the final four contestants of Cross Assault.
Tom Cannon, founder and organizer of the Evolution Championship Series had this to say:
“Cross Assault will be a great display of the drive and energy that fuels Evo and the whole fighting game scene. This is a great opportunity to see how top players approach a new game. I'm looking forward to seeing how the seeded Cross Assault players perform at Evo's Street Fighter X Tekken tournament.”

Wow! That's sick, more collaboration between different parts of the community is awesome.
I figure since it's relevant, I'll self-plug once again:

Maybe the players would miss tourneys while doing the show and this is to make up for that. I can't imagine they're doing it for more submissions, I doubt they had trouble getting enough.
Most majors llast 2 to 3 days and usually have over 100 entries per game with a fraction of prize pool offered in comparison to his week long production.
I'll say this is reality show is far more attractive than an average major.
Fame, fortune, and swag! Cook that wonton soup!
Another CGS/CXG failure in the works. This is America, no one cares to watch tournaments like it's some form of reality television; this isn't Asia. I'm sure whoever wins will be happy but this is just a waste of money and sponsors for an event that won't further the FGC in anyway besides lining the pockets of a few select few who are already at the top of the mountain.
