What happened to traditional CVS2 teams on Friday Yo? Cant leave that out 
Also whats up with some ST teams man.
Jeronwill be there for GGXSlash
4-5 peeps.
what no SC3 … ah well…that’s cool
Ok guys, here’s the deal on a LOT of stuff, mostly the stuff I’ll be running.
Basically I’ll be in charge of CvS2, ST, DOA4, and probably will have a hand in 3s as well. Also, I’m going to try to run several side tournaments. Here are the updates that you need to know:
CvS2: Will be held on the PS2 console
Since it’s being held on console, we will have more than enough stations to have 2 out of 3 games (which will eliminate all the problems we’ve had with the single match CvS2 the past couple of years).
Also, I am strongly considering having a CvS2 teams if there is enough interest…this means, 8 LEGIT teams of 3 players each. I will need to have enough people to hold the tournament previous to ECC or else I will just not run it. I will be putting up the ECCXI website with pre-registration SOON so we can get an actual headcount.
ST: will be $10 entry and 3 out of 5 games for the entire tournament. For the finals it will change to sets of 4 out of 7. ST is arguably the fastest game ever to be held in a tournament, so there is no reason to not do 3 out of 5. It WILL be held on Sunday (none of that Friday bullshit from last year) and I WILL be having an ST teams at the same time as you register for singles. The ST teams will take place immediately following the singles ST tournament. We will have at least 2 cabs and SWITCH STICKS for this tournament, so we will all be set.
DOA4: this will be the FIRST time that DOA4 will be featured at a fighting game major, and hopefully will pave the way for further participation at other majors. The games will be 3 out of 5 rounds, 2 out of 3 matches, until semis that will change to 3 out of 5 matches. The damage will be STANDARD. I don’t care if there’s a huge argument in the DOA community that damage should be either standard or max life, I’m putting my foot down on this and you’re either getting a three-round and standard life, or else if there is enough uproar we will just do two-round on max life. The game was obviously designed by Tecmo to be played on standard life or else it wouldn’t be standard; if you have problems with this, don’t enter and miss out on the first major DOA4 tournament.
SPECIAL RULES: Since this is going to be held on the Xbox 360 you ABSOLUTELY MUST BRING YOUR OWN PADS. I am not going to donate pads to be destroyed at this tournament, sorry. Button mapping will be allowed for DEFAULT SETTINGS ONLY. This means you can use the triggers to what they are mapped to as a default, and nothing else. WHY? because I don’t have time to sit around and let people map buttons every single match, that will literally double the time it takes to run the tournament. The default button settings give you more than enough shortcuts, you don’t need anything extra, and we don’t have all weekend. It is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that you bring WIRED 360 pads/joysticks because 1. you will get faster response time and 2. I have no idea how having multiple 360s all trying to synch with separate wireless controllers is going to work…I just imagine a huge problem where mutiple 360s are recognizing the same controllers, etc. SO BRING YOUR BEST GAME AND BRING YOUR WIRED CONTROLLERS!
As for the bonus tournaments…
I will most likely be holding both Street Fighter Alpha 2 and Street Fighter Alpha 3 on a spare cabinet, and they will probably be held on Sunday since that day has the least amount of SF tournaments right now.
Third Strike: will 100% be held on the PLAYSTATION 2 CONSOLE. I am tired of people complaining about the 360 controls on the cabinets at the break so this will leave no excuses. If you have a problem with playing on console for 3s and are going to whine and complain, DO NOT COME TO ECCXI FOR 3S. I am sorry but we are putting our foot down here, having 3s on console is only going to save time and benefit the largest amount of gamers possible.
FINALLY…
If you come to ECCXI and donate at least a 19" TV that we use for the tournament…
OR…
If you dontate an Xbox 360 console with DOA4, or a PS2 with copies of 3s or CvS2…
you will receive free entry into one tournament. If you bring a COMBO of items (you bring a tV and a PS2 with a game for example) you will receive TWO free entries. Basically, a tv, ps2/game, and xbox360/game each earn you one free entry. We will be HEAVILY depending upon people’s help to get this event running, so we will DEFINITELY be willing to compensate you for your help.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, please for the love of God BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLERS FOR CONSOLE TOURNAMENTS. Any of you who are coming to ECC have undoubtedly at this point played these games on console and should have appropriate controllers to bring. If you are coming with a group of friends, have designated joystick to share between you. There MAY be a chance of spare joysticks at the tournament (if I’m feeling like being a giving person and I let you use some of my stuff) but last year there was a lot of complaining that people were playing on other people’s sticks and losing because “It’s not a perfect 360” or “I can’t play on a Hori.” Well guess what, if you’re borrowing stuff to play, that’s the price you have to pay. Bring your own stuff and then you won’t have to worry about that. If I get one complaint that there’s no joysticks or controllers to play on I’m going to laugh in your face and give you 1 minute to find something to play on or else get DQed. And I’m not joking!
Ok, that’s all I can think of for now, but I’m sure there will be more to come!
SFA2/3 the same day as ST? Absolutely brilliant. Count me in.
hopefully i will be there for 3s… <3 3s
i might be there sunday night, but more than likely, I’ll be attending wed/thurs maybe friday stuff… so make sure the vampire machine is working b/c i need a place to put my quarters
I’ll be there definately with Philip Kao and project justice.
i have copies of 3rd strike for any system,
i also have the japanese version of 3rd strike for ps2(if the guys running the tourney are interested) my ps2 slim is modded. I’ll bring all my shit for free and pay for the games i’ll enter. its not a problem for me. so if you guys are interested get at me
