[]Takeurlife’s lag rule: It is each player’s responsibility to test a setup for lag BEFORE starting the match and request a different setup. If a unit is found to be laggy by 3 or more players then the unit will be removed from tournament play.
[
] MikeHaze rule: No yelling or making abrupt noises at your opponent.
[] Chibo’s Video-for-the-masses rule: You cannot refuse to be recorded if you pay money to enter an event.
[
] Pausing: Pausing forfeits the ROUND, not the set. In Smash, the MATCH is forfeited, not the set.

[
] Stalling, including planking and scrooging (gliding under the stage repeatedly), is banned. Stalling is the act of deliberately avoiding any and all conflict so that one may make the game unplayable. Running away from an opponent to reach a better position is not stalling. If you are unsure a tactic is considered stalling, ask the TO before using it.

Well Toan gave me comfirmation… Me and toan are attending this tourny, keep posting and let ppl know, who is coming and pretty much all the Dallas players are coming, so there should be like 7 of us… So Dallas is down for the tourny!!

Just curious, what kind of ps2 to 360 adapters are you using? Are any ps3 to 360 adapters out too? I’ve been trying to find one online that doesn’t have any serious input lag.

the joytech ones available on etokki. Very good for only 27$ spent

UPDATE!!! Our venue has changed because we found a less expensive one. This is awesome though, because this new location is right on the square near all the food places in Denton. Juuuuust in case you don’t like delicious 1$ pizza slices

For SSF4 team tourney, you stick with a character obviously but what about the Ultras? I would assume that you pick your ultra per match like 3S tournies did, I just want to make sure I know what’s what before I pick Ultra 1 against a Sagat right after I pick Ultra 2 against a Chun and get disqualified.

oh my bad arthur, i forgot to add that update to the SRK page. We changed it back to a 1v1 because the game is still so fresh as per Adnan’s advice

I only have a ps3 arcade stick, will there be 360 sticks there for public use?

How many ppl will be showing up for Mvc2??

The only stick for “public use” will be my TE, but that means if 2 people need one at the same time, someone is SOL. You’re better off finding a friend’s stick to borrow or investing in a converter.

@ PYT: im not sure dog, advertising to the MvC2 community is in yall’s jurisdiction haha

saw this in the houston thread. i might be in dallas that weekend anyways so this is a possibility. anyone from houston going to this?

hopefully ill get some games in against the dallas crew

Yo tin, yeah swing by me and Toan are gonna be there. Didn’t get to play u in Houston last weekend, but tell all of Houston to come to this, even the gally players… We need this to be big for Mvc2, we need to send Marvel out on a high note…

Preregister?

Do we have to preregister?

It’s not long now.

@thrash: No. You register at the event.

Okay cool and is there anyway Heretic can be added?

You mean that Hexen game? Why do you ask that?

Hey takeurlife, what do u mean by GUARENTEED 200$ minimum pot size in MVC2, like the winner gets 70% of $200 and this it or is that added on to the tourny pot??

Cuz we don’t want to make the trip if it’s not gonna be worth it, but we want to go… So how is it gonna be??

Heretic is a map on Halo 3.

Probably the most popular one on MLG gametypes.

Can you please add it to the playlist???

will the prize money have armed guards this time?

Did this get cancelled? I’ve been outside forever.
