New to Houston area from NYC and Next Level, would love to help out this event and volunteer in any way I can. Also looking to find all my fellow FG people here. <div><br></div><div>Maybe car pool for people heading to this that are local in Houston?</div>
Not sure if we’re going to need any more volunteers, but we can get back to you on that. Most of the Houston community goto Monsters Arcade on Tuesdays. There’s a get together on Friday night at the University of Houston. And local tournaments planned for UMvC3, MK, AE and SFxT at Insomnia VGC.

Not gonna lie, the reason I now say “some” hori sticks is because I <i><b>really</b></i> hate working on HRAP3 sticks. It’s a absolute pain in the neck to get the home button working correctly without the button feeling “crunchy.” Last two I worked on turned out to be far more trouble than they were worth and cost me money in the end, so I pretty much stopped working on them, or charge more for the hassle.<br><br>If you can catch me at a good time and understand that I’d be working on it last (and that it’d take a few hours after that), I’ll take care of it for the $80 price.<br>
Hey Ranma0005. Do you can be able to give me the street addresses of Monsters Arcade,University of Houston & Insomnia VGC? I’m from Midland Tx and i would like to try to come out to these events since i can just drive up there from midland since its only a few hours away.<br>

Why not just get that dual modded? Then you won’t have to worry about having the right stick for a tournament. It’ll work with both!<br>

Wait. Side tournament?<br><br>Like, I’ll gladly run the thing myself, but side tournament?<br>
Yes, SG is a side tournament. Along with Guilty Gear, Soul Calibur V, Super Turbo, and possibly a couple more. We have limited space so we have to split up the games for different days. Once we have finalized the complete game list, we will be able to post up a schedule.
However, just because a fame is a side game, doesn’t mean we will shun it to the side. We plan on trying to do what we can to hype up each game and will try to give stream time if possible. GG has $400 in bonus money added, SCV receives $100-$200 depending on attendance, ST is a qualifier for the ST Games at Evo, and SG will have some SG merchandise added to the prizes.
We look forward to every game run at Showdown, regardless of whether it is a side game or a main game.
almost a month… HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Woo, just reserved my room! I’m only going as a spectator for now, but I’m really excited for the hype matches.
Bruh?! When is sf2 going down??!!
