Brackets up! NCR8 Nov 20-21 Embassy Suites Hotel in Milpitas CA

Regional Matchmaking Pacific North
61

Oh haha, I thought he was asking if the Embassy Suites Hotel Staff spoke English. I was like what?

From watching some interviews with GamerBee, I think his English is VERY limited. Sako, I have no idea.

62

NOBODY has any idea about sako haha

63

john choi: I see that you copied our ST marketing strategy with those top player interviews :slight_smile:

PM incoming

64

I totally agree with this, I think we talked about it collectively as a group and the consensus says for ST/HDR with 30 to 40 entrants, it wouldn’t take that much longer. Especially when you gotta chase people down in a busy tourney. Sorry, just my 2 cents =)

65

I was Wondering if they Spoke English ? I can drive em up with me… IF someone can help house them though I can bring them to you.

66

anyone interested in splitting a room with me?

67

Is parking free in this venue?

68

Parking is free and there is a lot of space in the back near the ballroom.

69

Just did =], see you all there, going to be a lot of fun

70

I just registered. Hope there will be some hype matches.

71

:lol: For the SSF4 3 vs 3 event I see that only one person registers the team. Do the other 2 teammates have to pay registration fee each for that event (even if they are not registered for any other event) as well since one person is registering the whole team? :wonder:

72

Only one person pays for the team’s entry fee into the 3on3 tournament. Registration is separate and all 3 members of the team must pay for NCR registration at some point either with that transaction or separately. So if the other 2 members are not registered at all, then they must register to play in the 3on3.

All competitors of NCR must be registered to participate in any tournament.

So I have been talking to DGV since SBR about strengthening SF2 on the west coast.

We decided to organize a supergun cps2 ST tourney @ NCR (supergun because people want to use their own stick anyway and it is also easier to setup).

I?ll have two setups and DGV will bring at least one (or maybe two).

I asked John Choi and he agreed (read below for some interesting tidbits about choi :slight_smile:

It is not going to be official in the sense that there is no sign up from the NCR registration site.

But it is not a complete side tourney since we?re going to stream it! :lovin:

But we need help.

  1. We need your support. We need people to sign up for this. We need everyone who enjoy SF2, ST to sign up.

  2. We need help with equipments. We?ll have superguns and ST boards. But we haven?t yet secured enough LCD or TV, and we don?t have enough loaner PS2 sticks.

My plan is to have this run right after HDR pool and not to compete with HDR tourney.

People that play both should enjoy both and have double the fun @ NCR since there are TWO SF2 tourney instead of one (or zero for other games).

Since this should be a different experience than the HDR tourney, I?m planning to either run

  1. 2v2 or 3v3 team tourney (not favorable since it?s hard to round up players)

  2. Character locked tourney (learn your matchup!)

  3. Starcup-like single man team tourney, you pick 3 characters (duplicate ok) and specify the order and have to stick with it.

  4. Singles, if that?s what everyone prefer

[ The following are not confirmed and will solely based on feedback from you guys that plan to enter :

After the tourney, we may have a quick East vs West japanese style team tourney for fun.
Here’re the possibilities:

  1. Divide by age group : young team vs adult team

  2. Locals vs out of towners

  3. Two captains picking members one by one

And after that, if we still have time and top players around (or there are enough replies in this thread), we can run a quick 8 man high stakes $50, $100 tourney for added excitment!

]

So, please reply if

  1. You are interested to enter

  2. What entry fee you prefer besides the standard $5 or $10

  3. What format you prefer

  4. If you can help with LCD/TV

  5. If you have a PSX/PS2 stick and willing to lend to people who don?t have it (and please specify what stick and buttons you have)

  6. If you are interested @ east vs west battle or high stake 8 man tourney

So, how’s the plan? At the very least, we?ll try to have 4 setups for casual play so there will be a lot of fun.

Remember, double the SF2, double the fun :woot:

[ BTW, if the equipments arrive on time, I’ll bring them over to SCR and have a unofficial CPS2 ST tourney @ socal as well. Lots of SF2 actions for CA folks!]

I asked John Choi for permission to post this:

74

Please do not reply to this thread about the side ST event. Please PM papasi and work with him offline.

And as stated my stream team is still looking into things so it isn’t a gurantee about streaming on finals.

75

Yes, I included a link at the beginning of my post. I just copy & paste the content for reference.
Please reply in that thread or PM me directly.

John, I have two generic questions :

for BYOC and side tourney, do we also need to bring power strips?

Will there be free wifi @ the ballroom so we can bring laptop for bracket updates and post status online, etc?

Thanks

76

Please bring your own power strips. I may have some leftover for you to use but no guarantees as official events will take precedence. For BOYC, you are responsible for providing all relevant equipment. NCR only provides the space needed.

There is free wireless internet throughout the hotel. There is also a business center next to the ballroom with an online computer and printer. But to have access to both, you’ll need to book a room.

77

:lol: Thanks for clearing that up for me :cool:

78

MvC3 playable demo will be on hand for NCR! Seth Killian will be on site personally to show off the highly anticipated game.

79

Siiiiick!

Fanfuckingtastic. I definitely want to try out Super-Skrull and X-23
