Haha we’ll see bud.
PLEASE MAKE THE SIDE TOURNAMENT FIFA!!!
Lol Zohta. All side tournies will occur during the afterparty and will be run by those who want to run them. We will help with what we can for anyone who wants to run a side tourney, but the afterparty is our time to relax so we won’t be officially running any of them.
Nobody else in southern/central Bama seems to be planning to come out, and the drive is a bit too long for me to make solo. I’m still considering flying in on Friday afternoon if it doesn’t cost too much though and if I can get off work. Any recommendations when it comes to transportation and lodging?
Raekw0n isn’t planning coming? That’s unfortunate.
I can either pick you up or arrange for you to get picked up from the airport. We refuse to let the people who fly in pay cab fares or whatever. I’ll see what I can do about housing you as well as long as you don’t mind sleeping on someone’s floor (depending on how many people we have to house). If you’d rather sleep on a bed, hotel rooms are like $35 a night near the venue and I’m sure I could find you people to split it with or whatever.
Anyone in the ARK area hosting for housing? I kinda will be needing housing right now :I…
Appreciate it. I don’t have a preference. If you know someone who’s able to host or if you know anyone looking to split a hotel, I’d be happy to do either. I’ll be bringing an air mattress of my own in either case if need be.
Come on down I’m all the comp you need in KOF!!
Me and Flymike is confirmed so far…
I gotcha covered. About to send you a PM.
Good to know the Kings of Kang will be there. Better live up to y’alls hype haha

[LEFT] [/LEFT]
[LEFT]- Afterparty money matches have been updated. If you would like yours streamed, please let me know and I’ll add them to the list![/LEFT]
We got at least 2 more KCers needing a place to crash, if possible. It will be much appreciated.
Also, for afterparty events, we’re planning on a MBAA side tourney and a state 5v5 exhibition. Will be much appreciated if at least the 5v5 was streamed.
I can put you guys on the list. I’ll let you guys know by the 20th if people can house y’all. On the KC thread it seemed like a lot of people were asking for housing. Make sure they post on here that they’re requesting it. It was hard to keep up with who all wanted what for how many people. Here’s what I got so far:
Housing:
Please request housing ASAP. Arkansas is very accommodating, but our housing fills up fast. If you let us know, we will do our best to find a place for you to crash.

If you’re for sure running an MBAA side tourney, I can help promote it on the thread and let people know. As for the state 5v5 exhibition, if you want to turn it into a mini tourney (and for what game?) let me know and I can see if people are willing to throw in some cash. Also if you want me to spread the word or whatever, just let me know the details of it and we’ll get the ball rolling. What game?
I need housing. Just me this time.
The 5v5 is for MBAA. It’d be nice to turn it into a tourney, but reality states there won’t be enough interest.
I’ll put you down and I’ll post on here early next week who all can get housed.
Unfortunately I don’t think there’d be enough interest in a 5v5 MBAA tourney. You can sure try to get one going though. Do you already have the two teams set up? Also, MBAA runs on PC right? I’m not familiar with streaming PC games- PandaxGaming is streaming our afterparty so you’d have to output video from one PC to his PC right?
Yeah, I don’t know shit about streaming PC games. All good, either way.
I’ll keep you updated on the status for the MBAA events. So far, the tourney’s for sure. We just lost some players so we’ll see about the exhibition.
Yeah I don’t know how it’d work so streaming’s probably a no go unless you can figure it out with PandaxGaming lol. But yeah you said you want to run a MBAA side tourney? I’ll post it up on the Facebook event page and see if I can help you drum up interest.
You lost some players coming from KC? That sucks. Still need all the housing you asked for? This is what I got right now:

Also if the KC guys want to money match in singles or teams of whatever game, let me know and I’ll see if Arkansas wants to get in on that.
Something I didn’t notice until pre-registering and wondered: why is P4A on 360? I thought PS3 was the standard for “anime” games? I mean, I have a dual-modded stick so it doesn’t really affect me, but it just seems odd.
Yes, PS3 is the standard for anime games. We weren’t sure if there were any console differences between the two versions and had PS2 -> 360 converters as well as a surplus of 360s (plus a lack of PS3s in our community). We had to make a decision before P4A came out and we went with our gut. I hope people aren’t too upset about it being on 360 and if there are complaints, we’ll change it for our next tournament.
People have been having money problems so we’ve extended online preregistration for ARK V to Monday at 11:59 PM. www.arktourney.com/registration . Sign up and save some money.
