About me and Frosty Faustings: I used to live in Chicago and am one of the most well known Guilty Gear players from the US. I have been living in Japan for over 5 years. Every year, I visit Chicago and run Frosty Faustings to help out the scene and get some games in with everyone. Please come support this event!

I must come to this!!! (pending if my twins dont arrive)

3

I would add Tekken Tag 2 over skull girls. Our 3d gamers are starting to come out to the events here. SG is pretty much dead.

4

I live in Chicago, never ee to a turnament befoe hopefully this’ll be my first.

5

Vampire Saviooooooor.

6

Dead or Alive 5

7

no soul calibur or tekken tag?

8

Well bro you know I will help out anyway I can.

9

Let’s go!!!

10

I really hope that I’ll be able to make it to this, especially for that GGXXAC!

11

agreed. everyone says theyre “waiting on the skullgirls patch” but at this point its too little too late. not to mention a lot of 2D players seem to be looking forward to tekken tag 2 as well. the new blazblue or tekken tag will definitely get more people than skullgirls imo.

12

TT2 and GGX for me in this like…some color on color with pink color!!!

13

I’d like to help out in any way (bring set ups, run brackets, commentary, ect.)

As of right now, I see no reason why I won’t be there

14

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

15

I might join this depending on the location. I don’t have my own car so I’d have to probably take a train. Ultimate Fighting Game Tournament 9’s location looks pretty convenient for me, for example.

Also, Soul Calibur V and SFxT would be good. I’ll definitely show up for SSF4AE at the very least, though.

16

I have added Tekken Tag Tournament 2 as an official game. I am still probably going to add more games. Thinking about SCV…

17

That’s good. Tag 2 is getting pretty great fan reception now and I bet there will be a lot of Tekken fans wanting to play that. As for SC, I think that would be good to balance things out a bit, but at the same time I’m hoping for BlazBlue as well.

18

Last year we only had 8 people sign up for BlazBlue. It was the lowest entry for any tournament BY FAR, with the bigger games getting over 100 players. It seems like it might as well just be a side tournament. If enough people show interest I will add it as a main game.

19

Oh… Well that’s pretty dang sad. I thought that BB would have been more popular. I can understand that logic, though. Having a BB tournament with that bad of a turnout would be like having a Frozen Synapse tournament or something. As fun as it’d be, nobody would show up :confused:

20

Well the game was in a transition between versions last time so we will see if the interest is there this time.
