I should have hosting covered, thanks. The real problem is getting enough computers together so that we can rip everything. Ideally I’d like to just have the entire day taped including casual and then just go through and clip the matches out Gamer’s Vision style but that’s probably an unrealistic expectation and probably takes hard drive space we just don’t have. I really don’t know all that much about video capture so I can’t say.
I will do my best to attend this but i can’t make any promises since I have to get back to school the week after. Much will probably depend on who from NE is going and such.
I appreciate that. You guys have housing reserved, all you gotta do is say the word.
I thought u said JAN. 15th?
I would start the tournies in the opposite order because of time, #R, 3S, ST.
#R on console at gunther’s would be difficult?
entry fee 10 bucks right? maybe less/5 for ST. it’s up to you.
coop cup 4 … YES PLEASE!!! :lovin:
I don’t know anything bout vid capture and hooking the hardware up to an arcade monitor … ??? There’s NO composite plug or VGA plug so I wouldn’t know where to start. The signal from the JAMMA to the monitor PCB is seperate wires for RGB, ground, V sync, and H synch/composite.
we’ll talk later this week.
See, what happened there is I’m a genius and had been looking at the 2005 calendar instead of 2006, and the date I was considering seems to be the 14th. The “8th” figure is from the Saturday before that… again, from January 2005. Originally we were thinking we’d hold it then.
This is really important though. I’d be willing to do all of the heavy lifting involved in moving machines to the back to set up a console station, and if you’re worried about losing money on it I can compensate you.
That thought had occurred to me too.
The problem with #R at 2 is Chris can’t make it before 4 and can’t get off work. Given how slowly the #R line has been moving lately though I’m beginning to think you may be on to something…
Basically if I can do most of the work I’m content to let you take it easy. I’m sure you’d be thrilled at the idea of someone messing around with the wiring on your machines and going “oh it should be OK, don’t sweat it” but as far as research and any sort of grunt work you feel comfortable delegating I’ll take care of it. I could test it on my cab at home beforehand so we know we’re not delving in something destructive.
Feel free to call me if you want, I don’t have anything going on until… well… this tournament we’re planning. Is my cellphone number still written down in the employees-only room somewhere? I’ll try to get in touch with you possibly tomorrow.
Anyone wanna play some soon?
Does the pope crap in the woods?
When can you guys play?
Well, It’s Christmas today…which is 4:35am (my sleep cycle is fucked up), so I don’t think you’d wanna play today. What about monday? I’ve been playing reload more often but I still have a lot to learn and I’m afraid the computer will lead me into making bad habits in that game.
By the way, Shohaib has been playing Dragon Quest 8 and after that he’ll probably start playing Wild Arms: Alter Code F. So he’s got his vacation planned out.
I bought Windwaker a while ago but I just got my gamecube back so I started playing that. Anyone who has played Windwaker know if it’s worth playin?
If you like Zelda, you’ll think WW is at least decent. There are some boring parts in the game though, I should warn you, but overall the good stuff is worth it
How is your your tourney turn out looking?
Cameron: So far, as far as I know the locals are all confirmed except for Raiken, who has to work: Shekeib, Shohaib, me, Bladejuice, frog213. I think Pacman quit 3S, so it’s safe to say five people from Columbia are entering but it could be two or three more depending. Ouchie Maker from St. Joe said they’d be up about three strong. I know for sure that St. Louis is bringing five people, three of whom (AKA, 4gottenkazama and Kara-Killer) said they were down for 3S. ElvenShadow from Chicago said he was “almost guaranteed” to attend the #R tournament, I don’t think he plays 3S (I could be wrong) and I don’t know who he was planning on bringing with him but it’s possible Chicago could bring a few (I know bob washington entered 3S at N-Cubed but I’m not sure if he’s coming to this, I haven’t heard anything).
I’ll play Monday; I have work until noon and then I’m good. You guys want to call me, or just meet somewhere?
The only habit I’d say to be super careful of against the #R AI is staying inside throw range as the opponent is waking up. The #R AI never does reversal throws. Human #R players spam them. Of course the AI doesn’t punish bursts and backdashes like human players will so pay attention and if you find yourself doing those on autopilot, try to tone it down.
I’m about twelve hours into Dragon Quest VIII, after that my family somehow managed to find Valkyrie Profile for me for Christmas so I’ll probably start in on that. I swear I haven’t played a good RPG since mid PSX, I’ve missed this so much.
I’ll probaly be at this tourney…and you guys can come to this tourney:
I hear Frog 213 is really good at 3s, I want to play him. This is looking like a good turn out. Any other known 3s players attending?
Most people here play 3s, This is what AKA said:
I know for a fact that a good part of Chicago is coming. If you want to add up potentials here, we got…
Chicago - Elvenshadow, Juicy G, Blacksnake, Bob Washington, a Slayer player, potentially more? SIMMONS?
STL - AKA, Kara-Killer, 4gotten Kazama, Elegant, Tempest, potentially others?
NE - David, Simon, Cam, Jamarr? Anybody else COMING FROM TEH NE?
Columbia Home Grown - 722, SuperFX, frog213, Shohaib, Shekieb, Bladejuice, Billy, Justin, Raiken…am I missing anyone? Jarren.
IA - Klaige? Venom Scrub? Report!
Plus add in peoples like Nappyjin, Tritone, Ouchie Maker, and anyone else from the surrounding area = 27 total named people who will probaby be going. This obviously doesn’t include people who have yet to decide to come, or who haven’t been spoken for yet.
Given the date relative to MWC (on a normal schedule it comes after, and on this year it comes beforehand), I think it’s a wonderful time to have a tourney. Please people post up and give us a word if you intend on coming!
Does anyone want to meet down at gunthers on Tuesday to play some 3S… I’ll probaly be there from abou 5:30 to around at least 8:00… If i dont have to go to my class ill be down there at about 3:30-4:00… Hope whoever comes down is ready for the pain…hahahahahaha
If you guys need info about housing or hotels be sure to PM me.
Billy is very unlikely to enter, since this tournament happens the day after he returns from Japan and he’ll be hella jetlagged. He said he’d probably show up for some casual. Chris, you said you had work until 4 that day? Are you going to enter any of the games?
I think Kara-Killer and 4gottenkaz were gonna bring two of their friends.
David isn’t coming. He said Simon and Jamarr would probably make it.
Where is this information coming from, because some of it contradicts what I’ve heard. I’d like to know what’s current.
Just think, if Klaige and Venom Scrub show up we can have the entire Iowa scene in attendance!
I’m going to hold off on any sort of direct video capture because we just don’t have the time. I’m thinking we should just have camcorders set up.
edit: EmX is confirmed for #R, so that’s one more.
And also im apparently going to enter 3s so now u have at least one confirmed person going… Still 5 bucks??? le me know
I plan on entering #R. It’s possible I can get off at 3 if necessary(I need to check into this). I can also get there very shortly after 4 if I just go straight there from work. Sometime we need to meet up and play(I’m off all day wed the 28th).
Oh yeah do you still have an interest in SS Tenka? I have a copy of that for ps2 shipping around jan 19th.
Ten bux, compadre.
