EVO World SNK 2008: US SNK Nationals August 8th and 9th, Las Vegas

Let me know if there is anything I can do geese. :slight_smile:

IMO, we shouldn’t run Breakers. AFAIK there are no truly lag-free Xbox converters.

Also, SS5 Special may warrant a spot, certainly over something like Neowave if we’re already going to run two other KOFs.

I forgot to update this…Orochi, Omega Rugal, O. Iori, Goenitz, O. Leona are banned because they are only in the console version.

I hope you show up. Theres gonna be so many Big players in NGBC you wont even be able to count LOL. :sweat:

Nope, we gotta keep EVO World to the S tier and A Class games.

I know, I’ve seen some in Mexico since its based on 2002, but it makes the D List here in the US…so its one of those things if time permits.

You can prereg here, but I wont make the brackets until its face to face.

Will do, you can help out with 98UM! :tup:

SSVS on what though??? Breakers wont be on XBOX…it will be arcade cab or Neo Geo…

So unless its on NeoGeo or cab or PS2** it aint getting in…** (Maybe 98 on DC if 98UM gets postponed)

Fuck Mr. Big.
I’m gonna enter with my team of Shermie and Mai. Team Tig Ol’ Bitties ftw.

Sorry to disagree here, but you can’t say that you’re running S and A class SNK games only, and drop games like LB2 over Breakers, when the former is superior both in gameplay and in number of players over the latter. Also, I just can’t understand why aren’t you running a 2k2 tournament; even considering that I strongly dislike the game, I must accept that it’s the most widely played KoF. I would replace FFS for 2k2, as SST is a must (there should be one SS in the weekend, and the latest entry sounds like the obvious choice to me), and even if I don’t agree with WHP and NeoWave, you just won’t touch them. Being the first REAL chance to show the american fighting community that SNK does NOT SUCK, you should just lead with the best that you have to offer, instead of showing just niche, not serious games that have just recently gained a community in there, but NO one else outside there plays, like WHP and Breakers Revenge. In fact, I think that using Breakers is like if I wanted to introduce people to fighting games in general by showing them War Gods or Rise of the Robots. It just won’t work.

Since I probably am not going, but may still have a hand in running the thing, I say that we allow the characters, however EX Kyo and Kyo can’t be on the same team, and/or ban EX Kyo.

you guys can count me in! I will be glad to play KOF Xi, neowave, and 98

if i wasnt going to sbo i would come and win whp

i think you might have to ban geese if 98UM is played.
can anyone show me a video with proof that he can be countered???

You sir, have brought a tear of joy to my eyes. :rofl:

i heart snk.

psh

dark grease when are you gonna realize that snk games are fucking horrible.

when are u gonna realize thats its not cool to be a douchebag to people who are pretty much trying to keep an entire scene going using their own money

dick head

Kane Blueriver:

There are a multitude of problems with Last Blade. Nobody can even agree on what’s banned and what isn’t - the game is full of broken crap and different regions have different ban lists. I go back to Sirlin on this one - if the game really requires that much tinkering, ā€œthe only winning move is not to playā€.

And there is no good console port. PS2 sucks and DC is even worse.

The console issue also applies to some other Neo stuff (most notably KOF98/2k2, and Breakers), but those games all draw more people than Last Blade. And they don’t require you to ban anything except bosses.

Please tell me you’re not the type to say we should play whatever Japan does. They know their shit, but they don’t have a monopoly on this knowledge. A game can slip through the cracks there for the wrong reasons.

And Dark Geese, you asked what we would use to run SSVSP. Well, the Samsho Collection should be out by then, right? The US version will include Special and Tenka.

-Josh

I dont think the Collection will be out by then though thats the thing…

:sweat:

Gotcha man…I’ll keep your name down in the pre-regs!

thx dude

Last time at EVO I had no idea there were tournaments for SNK games. I think I saw like 3 people croweded around an MVS/AES set up but did not know what the hell was going on.

Probably my fault for not paying attention, but somone yelling at people to alert them that sign ups have begun would be awesome. Not saying that this did not happen, but I sure as hell did not notice.

This hurt my feelings soooooo much D=
:sad:

Count me in for NGBC.
I’ll be repping Haohmaru and Hanzo at Evo. You guys better be there!
