757 Lock what? 757 what Down?

757 LOCK DOWN!!!

Ok, the jist of it is this:

We have Virginia Beach gamers, Norfolk gamers, Chesapeake gamers, and even traveling out-of-state gamers out there who are itching to get in some crazy matches with other local comp (including myself). Yet, to my knowledge, many of these people rarely ever share a game with a group of other players outside of the arcade. The last event I went to was hosted by a black dude who ran a marvel, tekken, and ssbm tourney at his townhouse. I saw almost 25 people, seriously and some decent marvel players I had NEVER seen before. That’s just me though. I enjoyed myself that night, even tho I had to play ps2 marvel -_- I would like to make that a regular (not the ps2 marvel…).

Bi-monthly, I would like to rent a hotel room and deem it simply for those who are trying to get together and share some good fighting game matches. I will pay for the room, granted i can get at least 10 guys to sign up here on SRK. I would charge a $10 entry fee the day of and anyone could bring their own tv (3 tvs are guaranteed), console (ps2 and dc are guaranteed), sticks, games (mvc2, 3s, a3, kof xi, gg:ac, tekken5 guaranteed), whatever. If anyone wants to challenge another player to a MM during these gatherings, feel free. If we see we have a good amount of guys who all play a certain game well, we could even run a local tourney right there, on the spot! And, if you feel like taking a break to catch a movie, go shopping, pass out your number, whatever, Greenbrier Mall is across the street.

You know me, I will be on top of the recording for all games, and bringing the pain in whatever game I happen to be playing at the time

This is to keep from having like a 8+ guy pile up at my place when I’m hosting and would be a PERFECT time for our traveling gamers to guarantee their chance to get in some good games with 757s gaming heads. People would be able to crash over the night and leave in the morning if necessary. Also, if any gamers are traveling and would like your own room to sleep in that night, you could very well let me know in advance, and I could score you a $25-30 discount towards your room at the hotel.

Transportation. What if I would like to go, but I can’t figure out a way to get there? Well, this is for the local gamers only (you know if you’re local!). I am willing to pick gamers up on the following conditions:
-if you are being picked up AND dropped off THAT SAME NIGHT I would charge you $10.
-if you are being picked up THAT NIGHT and/or dropped off THE NEXT DAY, I would charge you $5
-if you are being picked up AND dropped off at Greenbrier Mall/Cyberstation Arcade, I will get you for free
that’s it…

I need replies on the following:

-suggestions on adding other games…if you can bring a ps3 and tekkendr, free entry; if you can bring a 360 and Halo3/VF5, free entry
-those who are interested in attending
-those who may need a ride

peace

I was shocked to see this thread bumped

When I ran this, I didn’t know of any other events being held for local tourneys or such. Soon after, I learned of PAGG (Newport News for mostly Tekken/SSBB) and O-NO decided to pick up his own event named 757 Lock-In that appeared much more organized and spacious than my own idea.

757 Lock-Down went well and I learned a lot as far as what could have been done to make it better, so it was an awesome experience overall. I don’t know when O-NO plans to have another tourney (of which I would FIGHT to make it to…sorry about missing the last one guys); also I don’t know when the next monthly @ PAGG is supposed to be, but I hear there may be one soon.

If enough guys were down, I could do this again and better, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be held at O-NO’s arcade/lounge location (ideal) or PAGG.

Were you interested in this, or did you have something to offer?

I would be intrested in something like this. Someone should do one of these.

[Bad_Lt]

Judge, the reason this can’t be done at PAGG (anymore) is b/c of what happened the last time there was stuff held there. the guy who handled the money on the Smash tournament (a kid that, i believe, worked there) wound up keeping the money and not giving it to Wes in a timely manner. and the last PAGG tournament have virtually NOBODY show up from the 2D community anyway, so i’d suggest just forgetting about that as a possible location anyway. unfortunately, the best way to get people to show up around here is by doing something like last time…hotel-style.
