Eugene Area Tournaments Thread!

Hey Eugene! Ethan here from Portland/Best Bout Gaming. You guys should roll up and check out our Slugfest tournament this weekend (11/13). Seattle and Missoula are making it out as well. In return I will work to get our troops rallied to come support Eugene’s events. I got family down there, and am up for casuals or tournies on short notice (it’s like a 1.5 hour drive, which is nothing). Hopefully we’ll see you up here, should be pretty big, and of course good times. Holla!

Hey is youtube acting up? All I see is the Dhalsim mirror GF and Tim vs LC as new videos.

We might be working something out. Stay posted.

I think I’ve got it sorted now, my continual bad on not giving youtube a little Rick James treatment to straighten it out.

As for Slugfest, we’ve definitely been talking about sending some warriors down to PTown, and are down like gravity if we can work it out!

No worries.

And I guess I’m not gonna be able to go to Slugfest. I didn’t realize it started at 12. I already have plans around that time. If it were during the evening, I would’ve more likely been able to go. Probably another time when I can really coordinate something.

Like on Dec. 4th!

how many peeps do you guys usually get for ssf4?

[off topic sorry]

I knew you were Northwest Rolento. I was sure I’d seen your handle before. Good games the other day.

We should play another set soon.

last Dragon Punch tourney we ran a full 16-man tourney iirc, idk about the bar night things coz i cant attend these.

At least 16 people for any tournament so far. What’s most interesting is that there are often different/new people every time. If all the people who’ve gone to at least 1 tournament showed up to a single tournament, we’d probably be pushing 40 entrants.

You from around here?

We concur on the 40 count if everyone showed up. We’ve never run SSF4 with less than 16 fighters competing, and if you count those who come along to build hype and check out the event we’re always pushing 30 people in the SSF4 crowd at the bars. The All-Ages events (And events for other games) are a tiny bit smaller just because we haven’t been running them as long, but everything is steadily growing. Just when we think that we can’t possibly meet any more tournament grade ssf4 players in the Eugene/Springfield area, two or three more come out of nowhere, and similarly, just when we think we’re guaranteed 32+ fighters for a tournament, life intervenes for a few fighters and we end up running 25 or something, but it’s all good. Rome wasn’t blown up in a day!

As all the events get bigger we’ve definitely seen an increase in the “every time, guaranteed!” attendees, so things are getting more hype every week!

We like your use of the royal “we” Tim. Also just to note, according to Filipino Champ’s Iplaywinner’s tier list, Dhalsim is a 3.5 vs Abel’s 6.5, BUT Abel is a 4 vs Zangief, Ryu, Akuma, and Cammy. Hmmmmmmm. Who to learn by this Friday. . .

OH YEAH! Shuma Gorath confirmed for Marvel 3! I’m one character away from a team I could play without feeling like a dickbag.

Edit: Well fuck, the roster’s leaked and it looks like I might use taskmaster I guess… All the marvel characters fucking suck and most of the capcom characters are bullshit. Goddamn Vs Series sucks.

Edit: Oh shit, it really is leaked?

Not a TRUE leak. A mention from a person with reliable sources kind of leak

it doesnt have Thor in it (for whatever reason), plus all the characters left on the leak are in a way Safe bets (like Sent and Storm), I wouldnt call it a true leak but its been surprisingly accurate.

I hope that leak is accurate. I’d really want to believe that Lei Lei will be in the game, even though it was already stated that there would be no other Darkstalkers characters besides Morrigan and Felicia.

where the hell is Frank West he’d better be in it, yes its bullshit no Breath of Fire characters.

I thought the leak had him in it. Either way, fucking Shuma Gorath? Srsly?

Fuck yeah SG not only does he share your initials but he’s a Robert E. Howard character before Marvel duced all over him. He’s like the only cool character from the vs series until Arthur got released, and I’m sure they’ll fuck up Arthur somehow… So if you’re forced to play in the Vs Series playpen, play Arthur and Shuma Gorath (and whoever else I guess)

They need to bring back Alien Vs Predator… and make it a fighting game.
