EVO North/MWC 2009: Midwest Championships! June 12-14, 2009

If I feel like fighting 2 hrs of Chicago traffic after 5 or 6 hours on the road already I may consider coming to this again, last year was bleh, with the arrival of SF4 I guess shit will be hype again, I just don’t know about the trek n all…

I hear you. Chicago traffic can be annoying sometimes, you just got to pick the right hours to travel.

Those hours usually being 2-5 AM. :rofl:

Weegee-Bo, I’m down for some Rose Ball :tup:

It seems like common knowledge amongst new england players, which is why it is so surprising that the greater SRK community hasn’t gone in depth on this yet to resolve the issue. I would hate to see a match come down to someone fucking up a combo.

well among the midwest srk community there are no SF4 cabinets to compare speed differences between the three. and using youtube footage of cab play isn’t reliable since there might be speed differences from capturing to the final encoding on youtube. But if Ari wins the gamestop tourny and gets the cab we can probably find out.

If folks are still interested, we can still have a qualifier tournament for the STHD side event at EVO. Same Battime, same Batplace. We would still do it on Saturday after SF4 and GGXX, and we will still need some equipment to run it. Direct your comments to the tournament thread here:

luigi-bo: MM in roseball. Loser has to shave his head!

Count me in on PS3 w/ chars + HD Remix

So… Do we get anything for bringing a TV? :wonder:

Holy Shit!! That’s some Vince McMahon vs Donald Trump @ Wrestlemania type shyt!! I’m def bringin my Video camera!

i call bs. i play on both and they both seem fine. maybe ill have to make a comparison video like i had to do with sthd beta =)

i still remember when people would bicker about ps2 and xbox 3s saying xbox was too fast, or vice versa. Everyone believed it like it was gospel, when in fact, they were the exact same speed heh

Lemme cut the loser’s hair.

Niggas are gonna get lined up BOGUS if you let me. =3

I’m talking hot butter knife style.

you know luigibo doesn’t play mms, he only hypes them up only to punk out later… BET IT

James- rog v rog ft5, $20?

Im in for this , gotta rep dayton , along with our crew.
( I can donate my PS3. HDR/SF4/3s or some other stuff you may need)

I call bullshit on the PS3/XBOX 360 issue.

Fact of the matter is that the arcade version no one really has/plays. It’s not the definitive version, it’s the console one. So speed means nothing. I griped about speed for CVS2 arcade to console which IS slower in arcade for years, but that lies on deaf ears.

PS3/360 if you can’t get your links it’s because either you played on an inferior HDTV or you played online too much. We all know months ahead of times it’s a PS3 on CRT TVs. Practice on those. No more random creation of drama needed.

ShunjiGohan: That’s not an arcade PCB in that cabinet for GameStop, it’s modded console in a Viewlix.

Ill do that for 10 dolla.

So I heard there’s supposed to be SF4 5v5 qualifiers here, but I read the majority of this thread and only saw the HD Remix one.

I may not be able to make this tournament regardless, but I’m just curious how it’s going to work in case things break right for me.

Ari is gonna hold something for the final 4 spots on the team.

He has final say in whomever is on the team though.

i live like 5 mins from nickel city aka super just games, and go to school at bowling green, ohio. traffic is not too bad if u leave thurs night, remember that northbrook is about 30 min drive north of the loop, so it should only take you 4 hrs to get to actual chicago. as long as u dont plan to hit chicago (city) between 4-7:30, and 3-8 on friday, then the trip should take u only 4.5 hrs.

p.s. the traffic might get bad between I55-I290 regardless of time but thats only like a 3 mile distance so its only like 30 mins of traffic.

o, and worst comes to worst you can just take 80 to 294 and ull miss a lot of city traffic but i think ull pay more in tolls and it might take longer compared to the skyway if there is no traffic on there, but 294 takes u basically to nickel city too, just get off the lake cook exit and go east and ull basically be there too.
