hey gang i will TRY talking to a few folks real soon to get some information but i think we finally have some dilemmas on our hands that need to be addressed. obviously the key word is try because some of our crew just make it impossible to get answers from, like they are trying to not spill governments secrets or something. it’s like pulling teeth.
anyway the dilemmas are cars heading to SB5 and who is sleeping on the beds at SB5. right now the confirmed people coming are me, FJ, Mike, Josh, Spencer, and now Puff. still waiting for Clem and Gary to make a decision, big shockers there i know. so that makes 6 of us confirmed with a possibility of 8. either way you slice it we need a 2nd vehicle. please start thinking about this guys. if no one steps up then how am i supposed to decide who to take with me and who to leave behind?
and then like i said the other issue is once we get there who is sleeping on the beds. actually i guess it doesn’t concern me too much but the rest of y’all will have to figure out a way to determine all that. maybe you could even come up with a rotation (i’m getting a bed both nights, it’s my room). plus don’t forget that if Lars or Ghetto Dave come they might need to stay with us too which makes 10 folks in our room, way too many but whatever.
i’m dropping this here… i also basically bombarded the entire state of Indiana with PMs too… i hope some of you can make it…
TILT TEN $ TUESDAY SSF4 TOURNAMENT (hence forth known as T3 Tournaments) 10-12-10
This is kinda short notice, but i just finalized the plans yesterday… if we get enough competitors at this initial event then I’ll start hosting them monthly, but for now I’m aiming this first one towards the Indiana players and also to get some quality practice before SB the that weekend. I might need some assistance running brakets if anyone wants to volunteer. Any and all competitors are welcome
We’ll be playing it out on the cabinets and we get all 3 of the xbox 360 cabs for the entirety of the tournament provided we have 2 more 360 copies of the game (i’m putting out a call to arms). Don’t worry i talked to Vic and he told me they fixed the broken 2P side so we’re clear on that.
**
When:** Tuesday, October 10th, 2010 i’d like to ask everyone what their preferred start time is so i can find some middle ground but currently I’m aiming for 3 or 4pm
Where: The Tilt arcade at Circle Center Mall downtown in the fighter’s corner. Ask the counter clerk where the tournament is if you manage to get lost
Fees and $: $10 entry fee, no need for gamecards unless you intend on playing something other than SSF4 we got it covered… the winner and runner up both split the winner’s pot 70/30
Rules: All characters allowed, loser can switch, winner stays, 2/3 rounds, 2/3 matches, full double elimination, all played out on the arcades xbox 360 sweet-tooth cabinets for oldskool nostalgia and footing
Any questions, suggestions, comments, or concerns feel free to call me (those of you who have my number) or PM me. I’ll be circulating this around the local community to get some players from all Indy’s nook and crannies. To help this go a little more quickly feel free to PM me your name for pre-registration if you can make it
no one is saying anything again, as usual. is there anyone that would be willing to drive down Saturday? that would actually clear up the ride situations perfectly. like i know Clem is saying he can’t go Friday and he’s still thinking things over. i’m guessing Gary probably just wants to wait until Saturday as well. also i’m under the impression Puff might want to wait if that is possible but he can come Friday also.
i agree that it would work the best if one of those guys step up and just handle their own problem basically. like if Clem or Gary drive especially because i don’t believe Puff is old enough to rent a car.
but if they don’t then we still have 6 going for this ride. i’ll keep asking around. more folks just need to pop their head in and say yay or nay like you just did. it helps a bunch believe it or not
hey guys, if anyone has news on what we are doing Saturday night please send me a text message on my phone. i will be cut off from the world all day Saturday until 8pm or maybe 9pm so at that time i will check text messages. if i don’t have any i will start spamming phone calls looking for plans to play. :tup:
ghetto Dave apparently might be in town Saturday as well. let’s cross our fingers and hope he can also drop in and provide comic relief… i mean competition.
It saddens me to say this, but Dunky “Get Desperate” Harwood will not be attending Seasons Beatings this year. Mr. Cheezface Immortal (quite possibly the greatest man alive), it appears that I won’t be able to cheer you on in person for ST. Good ruck, you gonna have to find someone else to keep your (offensive) japanese in check.
Ryan - what Chinese place do you work at? better not be Great Wall 2 or i’m expecting free buffets there all day all night. i never did get my discounted Hungry Howie’s anyway so i’m not holding my breath.
Clem - sorry to hear dude. you can still root me on from the stream and fend off all the stupid little kid stream monsters that just talk crap all day and don’t have anything important or intelligent to say. kind of like my usual chatter on our Saturday night gatherings. :tdown:
So ST is going to be played at SB this year? In an actual cab? That is pretty fucking sweet, I wish I could go. Good luck to you, cheezface, if they are streaming it I’ll cheer for you.
Is ST going to be played in a Japanese candy cab or an American cab?
yeah all ST events will be on arcade cabinets. HDR will be on 360 i believe.
i have briefly skimmed over all the different ideas they have discussed for possibly cabinet setups. i’ll just let them surprise me when i arrive. haha. as far as i know there will be both types of cabs but not sure how many of each and how they will divide them up for tourney play. plus they are talking about linking cabs together to get that head-to-head feel.
i will be appreciating the cheers. gotta block out the negative stream monsters somehow. haha.
