Sweet. Nice job on getting our state a ‘road to evo’ event.

I’ll be providing my modding services at the event. I’ll also build a few ps2->360 converters plus bring my 360 modded sixaxis pad to be used at the event.

3

You should let me use that modded sixaxis during my matches as a form of advertisement ;). I’ll give you a shoutout when I make an upset.

4

Only if you promise not to yell “Fucking Gummo!” when you lose.

5

He won’t he will just tell people he feels sick, was busy running brackets, or some other shit that is a lousy excuse.

6

lol done deal.

7

least he pointed out “when” you lose.

8

Why do y’all hate SNK and Tekken players so much?

9

KOF is fine on the Xbox. That’s what I play it on.

As for tekken, I don’t see the need to buy completely separate PS3 setups when the Xbox version is superior and there are converters available.
Btw I would probably ban wireless anyway if I went PS3

To break it down, with my setup

Full Xbox “renegade” setup: CRT monitor, USB speakers, VGA cable, Xbox
~ 150$ and it’s lag free and HD.
Even less if the xboxes are modded.
Ps pads can be converted via multiple methods, but etokki.com has the best one.

Full PS3 “EVO” setup: Asus monitor + PS3
~ $370

Marvel slowdown
More input delay
Wireless problems
No converter for Xbox pad players.

Even If I use CRT tvs for the ps3, the price is still higher and I have non uniform setups that look like shit.

The choice is clear. Twice the setups, same price, better quality= better tournament.

I will have some Xbox converters to rent as well.

I’m not trying to hate, but for major tourneys, these tough decisions have to be made and I can’t rely on ad hoc system donation like I did last year. I hope you can understand, and I hope you can come.

Ok. updated some key info:
notably
Team Spooky Streaming
Price Structure changed to incentivize pre-regs more. 20 early bird, 30 April, 40 door fee.
Pre-reg is live.

I’ll be at Winter Brawl and Final Round hyping this tourney up. Hope to see you all there!

11

Sounds like it’ll be awesome. Definitely considering it!

12

If you have to “consider” an EVO major that’s less than an hour away… hah.

Anywho, I’m working out the details for Friday nights team tournaments.

13

I’m planning on running a WWE All-Stars side tournament at Civil War for those interested. Thanks to that “unlock everything” code there’s no need to worry about crap like having the right DLC, so it should be smooth sailing. I think it’d be a nice little distraction from the main events.

EDIT: I just read that all games will be on 360, so unless I can get a loaner copy of All-Stars for 360 or there’s a PS3 setup there for casuals that I can occupy for an hour or two, that might be a no-go. If that Mystery Game Tournament I’m running at SM on the 20th goes well, though, I might bring an updated setup of that instead for a side tournament.

14

That game sucks.

15

Yeah, I’ve had issues getting around Richmond in the past so that’s why I’m wary. Either that or I could grab a ride with someone else going down there.

16

Hotel is right off 195 on broad st and has a parking deck attached to it.

17

Going to consider coming up to this…6 hour drive from Upstate, SC but there’s a chance I can be there if I plan right!

18

I should be able to make it out to this

19

hyped this is on xbox … me and rayray are planning on showing up to this … are you guys running marvel teams??

20

This is probably a stupid question but I already signed up for AE2012 at Civil War 4, how do I play in another game? Do I just sign up when I get there?
