SCV is cool and all and I wanna learn it and enter tourneys for it but I can’t see driving a hour just for a SCV tourney. There arent gonna be any other tourneys cept a SCV monthly? The other GU tourneys will they then not have SCV cuz there are already SCV tourneys?

Sorry, I’m going to have to ask Idle about that. He’s running the show here. I thought about my reply earlier, and I’m not positive if he’s going to be doing any other games. I know his goal is to have as many people as possible play CALIBUR. If holding tourneys for other games is possible for our format, and it gets more players for SCV, I’m sure he’ll oblige. Keep very much in mind, however, that BONE is traditionally a Calibur tourney - always has been. If any of you guys wanna be a TO for GU’s (whatever) tourneys, talk to Jamie. I’m sure he’d love the idea. What Idle is doing, though, is seperate from GU’s tournaments.
Calibur is to me what Street Fighter is for most of you: My first tournament game. So uh, forgive me if I’m not all that sympathetic if people don’t wanna drive down for the tournament because of lack of variety of games. The scene is very serious about this game at this point in time, and we’re going to be there whether you guys show up or not. If you wanna get good, show up.
(A little post script… Will, consider this: SCV is not some game that’s predecessor you were godlike at anyway like SF or MvC. This game is going to require some serious breakdown, for new and veteran players alike, and honestly, I think right now it needs its own tournament. I do think, though, that you have an amazing mind for fighting games, and I would be absolutely delighted if you took it seriously. You would be a great addition to the community. Not saying that you won’t, but your evident reluctance for travel speaks to me.)
That said, I personally have 0 interest in TO’ing any other tourneys during BONE, and I will refuse if asked.
I’ll show up for a tournament that’s just SCV, unless it turns out that SCV sucks. Well I’ll be at the first one either way, since we won’t be able to tell by that point if it sucks or not.
i played MK when it first came out and i wasnt good at any of the ones before it either but I would enter tourney. But I wouldnt have driven to GU for a MK only tourney day. I bet other real MK heads would but I wouldn’t because I’m not sure about the game to begin with. But if they are running tourneys for other games I play and MK was there I entered it everytime for a while. Its cool for them to run a SC tourney but having other games there gives me and other people more of an incentive to come and try it. Last GU tourney I entered KOF and its my first KOF where I tried to get competitive and I like the game but if they had a KOF only tourney at GU I wouldn’t have gone.
again its cool to have some stuff to really get SC out there so people can play it but with nothing else there i cant imagine too much cross over from the players there. as opposed to when you have a tourney with others runnings. And how about the GU tourneys will those stop because there will already be a fighting game monthly and if they will continue along with the BONE stuff will SC be run at the other tourney.
also i was only ever good at SF games MvC was the first marvel game I got to play at the same time as everybody else so its not like i played with MvC cuz i was good at the old versions of it. I prob wouldnt have driven a hour and a half to souperbowl for the first MvC3 tourney if it was only MvC3 I wanted to atleast be able to play something i was more comfortable with (SF4) along with the new game.

What if I enter a beginner tournament then win, grow a mustache enter the next as NotCheeseburger and tell you guys I’m his twin brother. Would that be viable?
Hypothetically speaking of course
I am an authority on this matter.
Yes, that would be legal.

@Ryan and Will; I think you guys both have good points. On one hand, I like the idea of BoNE being SCV exclusive. However, I think that Will makes a strong argument by saying that you’re only going to get hardcore SC players if it’s SC only.
That said, GU hosts tournaments approximately every month/every other month or so. If no one else is willing to step up (which I think Ryan probably will, but no pressure), I’d be willing to run a SCV tournament on one of the GU tourney days for people who, like Will, will be there anyway and may be more incentivized to enter instead of making a special trip for it if they don’t already know it.
Also, not going to be at the Dedham tourney on Saturday. My second band’s lead singer/guitarist is getting back from touring and we haven’t practiced for like two months. I’m gonna try to hit up that place if they have other stuff going on though.
EDIT: Also stoked about the beginner’s tourney. Great idea Ryan/Idle/whoever came up with that! Is the first BoNE at the end of February?

I remember the last time I went to B.O.N.E. Wasn’t it vanilla SF4 and Tekken 6?
It was also SC4 and the farewell to Game Universe.
And about what Ryan is saying, SC5, at least in the beginning because people are pretty amped will get good turnouts from MA, CT, and NJ at the very least. SC has a strangely large group of steadfast guys. I understand not wanting to attend a one game tourney, but I am fairly positive it will have great turnouts and if you have any interest in the game, I would try your best to make it out to these to meet the guys who only play SC and pick some stuff up.
The last BONE was a cross-over tournament, but we didn’t decide to make it so until we learned that GU was closing. We were planning on having Calibur, and maybe Tekken, since there was interest from out-of-state. Once we found out, though, and once we knew Jersey and NY was coming, we threw SF4 in there.
That’s not to say that we won’t have crossover tournaments - we certainly will. If GU has other tournaments, I will help run SCV, but again, BONE is a Calibur event, and it will remain so. It’s that simple.
Oh also, so it turns out I’M running the show now. Since Jay (Idle) is my senior, I will take his opinion under advisement when I make decisions about this tourney, but the decision lies with me now.

YouTube is allowing me to upload again! They’ll be slowly trickling in over the week since, you know, work and stuff. I have replays from 1/13 as well as 1/20.
