Are you good at Street Fighter? Are you free February 21st? Then I have something for you: the Street Fighter IV National Tournament.

Capcom has teamed up with with GameStop and the EVO Championship Series to bring this tournament everywhere. That's at every GameStop.

Get there on the 21st of February. Win and move on to the second round at regional stores on the 28th. If you're still in it, you'll go to the semi-finals on March 14th.

The top sixteen will go to San Francisco on April 18th for the finals. They all get a 3-day/2-night stay there. The grand prize? A Street Fighter IV arcade machine! And get this: all finalists will score Mad Catz SFIV sticks and pads, the limited edition tournament belts, and will also earn a spot in the semi-final bracket at the EVO World Finals in Las Vegas! Damn! I knew I should have been practicing.

GameStop.com has all the details, and more await after the jump in press release form.

Are you up for this? Are you good enough?
