2

Very interesting, I’m down & should be there.

Looking forward to it.

3

Consider me there.

4

I really want to be able to play Seth. Would it be unreasonable to require that a setup have all of the characters unlocked? That would probably lead to fewer setups, though, and that would suck.

5

Dont count me out of coming to this. Sunday though?

Edit: nevermind, final on the 11th.

6

My 360 has everyone unlocked. ill bring it if need be.

fuck my 14 inch TV, though, I could barely see shit when i ran sf4 on it.

Should of tested it before the tourney.

Hopefully this one goes by quicker, I was pretty sore I had to miss the SF4 finals cause i couldn’t stay till 11:00.

7

im in, can we count the last tourny towards the ranbat ranking :stuck_out_tongue:

8

yeah lets do that :smiley:

And, I’m as good as there.

9

Good shit.

But if possible, it would be better to run these on Saturdays to increase the chance of out-of-towners attending.

Also, put HDR and Marvel back in there! I’ll run both.

10

Yo, what Nick said. I understand it’s ranbats so it’s more focused on local comp., but I figure we’ll be running side events (GGAC to name one) so it makes more sense to run them on Saturday in case out of towners want a shot

11

Yeah, go go saturday and I’m gonna enter this next one for sure.

12

Lets make Guilty atleast 25 players. Dat would be hella good

13

I would much prefer Saturdays, but I’ll try to make this one. Going to make things interesting, as I’m leaving for Mexico for a little over a week the very next day. But I’m hyped for this.

SIDE TOURNAMENTS PLZ!

14

We are all terrible sons not noticing this before…Sunday, May 10 is Mother’s Day! LOL. The date has been changed to Saturday, May 9.

I’ll add some side events too.

15

May 9th MIGHT work for me.

16

May 9th much better for me. Well done Kurasa.

I had actually noticed the Mother’s day thing, but I fiured I’d probably see my mom the day before or something, as I almost never see her on actual holidays anyway.

Oh God, I’m a horrible son.

17

I’d also be willing to run a SCIV side event if I could get interest and maybe a 2nd setup.

Also Jeff, as per the Smash ruleset, they changed it at last minute to include Corneria as a counterpick stage, and I’m fairly sure that will be the same this time, so might want to make a note of that.

18

Good stuff Kurasa, glad to know STL’s gettin’ a scene now.

On the list of stages for Brawl, it should look like this.

Anyone who was in Brawl, am I forgetting any?

19

That looks like the list we had last time, Milk. No sweat.

Pre-hyped about this one.

Jeff, question. I’m planning on bringing a setup, and entering both Brawl and SFIV. If I bring a setup, will I be paying $2 instead of $1 for the venue fee, since $1 goes into each Ranbat pool?

20

I’ll have to talk to Ogre about it since it’s his store, his rules.
