Um, the GG community always comes through with the equipment, I don’t think anyone’s worried about the lack of equipment come Sunday of ECC.

You realize that everything you’ve quoted can be taken in a different light, right?

CORRECT. I personally don’t care about Guilty Gear, but if you didn’t know, I’m also not running every single tournament at ECC. Josh appointed Chaz to run Guilty Gear, so regardless of if I like the game or not, there is someone there who plays it and will be handling it professionally. Guilty Gear DOES take up a LOT of resources (we have to swap out normal PS2s for modded/Japanese ones and get imported copies of the game) and it’s going to be a big hassle to hope that we have enough stuff to run it correctly. Right now, we have TWO modded PS2s guaranteed to be there, and that’s IT. Only one person came to me and offered to donate their modded PS2, and Chaz is bringing his, so unless we get several more, that is all the Slash players will have to play on. In addition, think of the hassle we’re going to have Sunday when Guilty Gear Slash ends, and most of the Guilty Gear players want to go home (since they probably wont’ stick around for 3s or CvS2 top 16). Now, we have to swap out those modded PS2s with different ones, probably swap TVs around, etc…it’s a pain in the ass. IF Slash had been held on Friday, Guilty Gear players would have had free usage of ALL the console area in the arcade. Now, they are basically going to use it for a few hours Sunday morning and then I predict a big group of gamers leaving, and leaving Josh and I with a lot of setup work to get the top 16 in CvS2/3s going.

TRUE. I PROPOSED not having Guilty Gear, because when I asked the community what version of the game should be played, it started a HUGE argument about Reload vs. Slash. A lot of people didn’t want Slash because it was so new, and it wasn’t even guaranteed it would have been released in time for ECC (remember, this was said MONTHS ago). So I basically said that the Guilty Gear community would have to decide or else we might not have any GG present at ECC. And what happened? I had to suffer a ridiculous backlash of insults, basically saying I’m the next Hitler for saying such a thing, and that GG is a staple of ECC and blah blah blah.

A perfect example of somebody willing to donate for their community. This is great and nobody is saying anything bad about this person. Funny, though, that as soon as my comments were taken out of context, he decided to run the Ohio Guilty Gear tournament just to spite ECC. Sorry, I personally dont’ love GG, but Chaz does and he’s willing to run a kick-ass Slash tournament despite all the shittalk people are spreading, saying we’re NOT running it at ECC. In fact, Chaz is flying to Ohio and then flying back here the next day to run Slash, according to rumor…that’s fucking CRAZY dedication.
Also, don’t try to lecture me on how you drove to ECC and gave two PS2s. You don’t want to know the thousands upon thousands of dollars of equipment I’m bringing to ECC this year…
“Um, the GG community always comes through with the equipment, I don’t think anyone’s worried about the lack of equipment come Sunday of ECC.”
That’s all well and good, but as I have said, so far NOBODY besides one person (and Chaz) has said they are bringing modded PS2s and copies of Slash. It’s great to say that something ALWAYS happens, but being one of the two people primarily in charge of ECC, I’d love to have ALL supplies set in stone at this point. Having absolutely no idea who is bringing what and how many Slash setups will be there worries me, because not only does it have the probability to screw the Guilty Gear players that do show up at ECC, but it also has the potential to screw everyone else, because now those 2-3 Slash stations are going to be taken ALL DAY since it will take so long to run the tournament.
Everyone needs to get overthemselves here. People love to take things I say and twist them and exaggerate, and take them out of context, to make me look like the devil. All I’ve tried to do all along is make a fair and balanced tournament for everyone. Selfish people (Jinmaster) and people with no self control (James Austin) have thrown kinks into the chain that is ECC, but it will still roll along strong regardless. If everyone can forget about the fucking spite of everything and just get over themselves, maybe we can work together to get something done.
Right NOW, here are the things we still need for ECC:
-At LEAST two modded PS2 consoles
-2 or more copies of GG Slash
-At LEAST one more TV of 19" or larger (this is our most DIRE NEED to have the full 8 console stations available, if you can bring one please PM or post here ASAP)
If players from the Guilty Gear community are coming, they should post or PM me IMMEDIATELY and say they are donating their equipment, so that I can 1. figure out if we’ll have enough and 2. reserve them free entry into the tournament.

On another note, I’d like to again link to the pre-registration thread HERE:
http://www.shoryuken.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112728
Remember, if you pre-register OR if you register on-Site on the Friday of ECC, you will save yourself the trouble of paying the extra $5 registration fee for last-minute entries on Saturday.
Pre-registrations HAVE started to come in, so I’m sure it’s working and we are good to go.
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: PLEASE if you pre-register, be SURE you’re coming to ECC. Just like all other major tournaments, there will be NO refunds once you have registered either online or on-site. This is to avoid having to re-draw brackets last minute because of some fickle player who changed their mind, or who pre-registers for everything with no real intention of ever showing up.
I will begin to list those who have pre-registered in the pre-registration thread later this week!
Well Phil it would have been better for you to have explained yourself like a month ago when you made those comments, when j1n addressed them then perhaps all of this ‘drama’ could have been done away with, but whatever. Shit’s in the past.
I’ll donate a slim ps2 and TV. As for using them after GG is over, we’ll that depends on whether the group I’m with wishes to stay, so we’ll see. Also my tv has a tendency to ‘spaz’ out so to speak. Might be that it’s connected through two RF adapters, but I’ll look into it.
It’s hard to respond to stuff like that when the DAY I posted on DustLoop, asking to please speak to the director of the Ohio tournament because I thought that he got the wrong idea and we needed to talk to possibly held the GG community, JAMES AUSTIN had me perm banned. So I never HAD a chance to defend myself, I had no idea that stuff was even on that message board until today.
Does the slim PS2 play Japanese games? If not, we are actually fine with non-modded PS2s (I already have 6 secured and Wigfall is bringing 3 I believe). However I will definitely take you up on your offer of the TV, what kind of connections does it have, just RF? If so that’s fine, I have two PS2 RF adapters and I may be picking up a few more before ECC just to be safe.
And if anyone else can bring a TV, I would like to be sure to have 8, right now we are at a guaranteed 7.
Yeah my slim is modded, and tv is just an RF connection.
When would you need the TV?
Or I’ll get the details later on I imagine ;p?
Finally, an answer. Thank you
TV would be needed the entire weekend, i.e. 1pm Saturday until gaming ends that night (12am if we are lucky) and then starting 1pm on Sunday until tournaments end that day.
I will also put you down for the modded PS2, if you donate both the PS2/copy of a game (Slash, duh) and also the TV I will give you two free entries.
Can I give you the TV on Friday so I don’t have to leave it in the hotel room?
And yeah, you can put me down for all three pieces of equipment, I trust you to take care of it all.
How many consoles are usually available for CvS2 casual matches during Saturday night, Sunday, and Monday? What time do you kick people out?
First, ECC ends sunday so there will definitely not be any casuals on Monday.
WHEN casuals wil be depends on how long it takes for tournaments to end…
For example, on Saturday CvS2 starts at 1pm and when that reaches top 16, we will get to 3s. After THAT is done we will consider either casuals or running CvS2/3s teams if there is enough demand.
On Sunday we will have a pretty full schedule of Slash, CvS2/3s top 16, but after that ends we’ll also have an opportunity for casuals. It all depends on a few factors:
- How many people actually pre-register and register on Friday on-site, letting us create brackets ahead of time so we can save time on Saturday.
- How many people actually LISTEN TO US and stick around for their pools playing on Saturday, avoiding delays. I WILL disqualify anybody not there for their pool after 10 minutes, so tough shit to those who vanish and don’t let me know ahead of time.
- How many console stations we actually end up with. So far there are six guaranteed, but we are depending on people for donated PS2s, copies of games, and TVs. If Several people flake, it may take longer than usual.
So, to be honest, I can’t guarantee any specific time for casuals on Saturday/Sunday. All I can really say is, if you are staying at the Motel 6 down the street, LOTS of people stay up all night playing games, and you will definitely get some casuals in.
Also Master Chibi: It all depends on what happens with Chris Cotty. IF he lets us keep stuff at the arcade, then yes, I will take your TV on Friday and be able to hold it until we’re done on Sunday. However, if he DOESN’T want any stuff left at his arcade, my car will be jam-packed and will have no room to transport another TV…so you will have to hold it until Saturday. I guess we’ll have to wait and see what happens.
Thanks. Very informative. :tup:
DSP: By registering online with paypal, I don’t have to physically come in to register for ST right? I can just show up Sunday?
That’s right, you can just show up for your respective games. However, be sure to check in with me (or Josh Wigfall or Chaz) before the tournament begins, just to be sure that we know you’re there and we have you in the bracket.
Hey whats up folks. Im actually coming from ATL…is anyone out in the ATL driving down to ECC is so plllllleeease let me know and if i can tag on a ride with you ill definately chip in on some gas money. If not…than if i take a flight where exactly would i be taking a flight to. I heard the tournament is in newark. Id like to know the details to this too so i can secure a cheeeeaap ass plane ticket. Other than that…get at me batches. HOLLA
Whats the format for the ec vw wc 5 on 5? Round robin? Where everyone fights everyone and then the score is added up?
The tournament is NOT in Newark… but in Dunellen. If you are in Penn station Newark, the train via the Raritan Valley Line goes straight to the arcade where ECC is taking place.

I’ll be entering 3rd striker this time as well.
