Tournament organizers with Evolution said there will be at least $20,000 in prizes guaranteed for the Super Street Fighter IV competition. Not only that, the game's producer, Yoshinori Ono will make an appearance at the tournament.

Add to both of those a scheduled appearance by defending champion Daigo Umehara, the showing of Bang The Machine, and at least five other tournament games, and you have the makings of what could be an epic weekend at Caesars Palace.

Here's more from the tournament organizers:

Congratulations to Holeman for winning the Tekken 6 tournament at MLG Columbus on Saturday. He got the job done after finishing second in Orlando a couple months ago.

With his win, he is now the points leader for Tekken 6. Kor, the defending champ, went 2-2 on the day to finish in the top eight.

The biggest standout aside from the champ Holeman was runner-up Fighting GM, who won eight consecutive elimination matches to get to the finals. Arguably his most notable point came in the second semifinals, where GM won 11 rounds in a row as part of his defeat over Knee.

The day ultimately belonged to Holeman. Unlike last time where he surrendered four consecutive games to Kor, he only gave one game to the hot-streaking GM.

Here's more from the official MLG recap:

Holeman came out victorious in Columbus and with 2nd and 1st place finishes in Orlando and Columbus, respectively; it is safe to say that he is the most consistent and dominating player in MLG right now. However, FightingGM had a very impressive run, and showed that the US players can indeed compete with the Korean superpowers. As Blood Hawk, a fellow New York competitor, remarked when GM was playing one of the Koreans during his Losers Bracket run, “He’s not a machine!!”

Holeman stats in the title match were on par with most Tekken 6 finals matches. He got the first hit in 14 of the 18 rounds and won nine times (.643). He also had 14 juggling combos in the match (.778).

Fighting GM was on fire going into the title match; he had taken out the defending champ Kor, plus Nin in the second semifinals.

Against Holeman, he had a day-and-night outing.

GM won every Round 1 of the four games played. After Round 1, it seemed like he was a totally different player.

In the four Round 1s combined, GM got the first combo three times. More importantly, he was juggled one time and not sent to the wall.

But in the 14 non-Round 1s, GM was juggled 13 times and wall comboed nine other times.
