Nice, I wanna see how Nemo plays this game one last time. I like the lineup.

4

darn, daigo isn’t playing ?

5

I think im going to this. Ill probably get a ticket later today.

I have a few questions though…

Can you buy the tickets at Family Mart or is this Lawson exclusive?

Does the cost of the ticket covers the entry fee for all 3 tournaments?

For the beginners tournament, do you NEED a card? I dont usually play with a card at the arcade. Can I just enter without one? I think my online BP was like 3000 last time I checked (I havnt played online in months), does this qualify me to enter or does it have to be below 2000 or…?

Can you bring booze?

Once you enter, can you leave and come back in if you wanted to go to the conbini or get food or whatever?

Im in Shinjuku every weekend anyway so this sounds like fun. Im not an extremely serious SFIV player as my main game is Guilty Gear but I think this sounds like fun and would like to play and watch (and drink after I lose lol)

6

Lawson only.

Yes

They are playing on console, so there is no card. They are only asking that your BP is below 20K in arcade or below 2000 on console. They are hoping (keyword here) that those who have above 20K/3K BP will be honest and not enter.

I have no idea on this.

I’m pretty sure you can but hopefully one of the GG staff from Japan will answer these two questions.

7

Want to go. So bad. Yet, cannot. :sad:

Reno, you’re taking home the gold, right?

8

In case a ticket can’t be bought until this weekend, but if I still want to enter the tournaments, will there be a cap on tournament entries? More specifically, is time a factor in getting the tickets?

9

The on-site qualifying tournament is limited to 56 players.

10

When did they start taking registration? If the forms are all online this might already be full, is there some sorta pre-reg list anywhere?

Also, what about the console only and beginners tournaments? Is there a cap on those as well?

11

Calling it: Nothing but Seth mirrors for the console tournament.

Edit: Are any of the confirmed players entering allowed to sign up for the console-only tournament?

Also, since the tournament is on console, are console characters allowed to be used in the standard tournament?

12

Can you bring booze?
That part will be NO. Shinjuku Loft Plus One is Bar/Event Hall. You cant’t bring,but you can buy booz.
I got my ticket and finished filling form. I’m entering beginner and console only tournament.

13

I am all signed up for the tournaments. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

Although I do have one remaining question from the signup. Which is the actual ticket code that I was supposed to enter? I put in 43, because it says at the bottom of the ticket ???43, but there were two other codes on there. I wasn’t really sure which. Can you let me know if it’s that or the other ones, because I can contact them with the correct code if I entered the wrong one. Thanks Reno.

14

ok well as long as I can do some drinking

Anyway, I signed up so ill be there. I entered all 3 tournaments but I dunno if they will even let me in the main one. Ill just play whatever they let me participate in. Should be fun regardless.

Oh yea one more question (sorry for all the questions)… Should we bring our own stick or will they provide all the sticks?

15

gonna sign up soon, no sagats in my bracket please

16

Looking forward to this. GG1 ran a great stream and was one of my favorite events to watch last year.

17

18

19

Really appreciate you posting this Reno. Can’t wait to see nemo play again!

Sorry for butting in on this thread, but who is Hachigashira? Usually only the top name players play in this, but I’ve never heard of him. (Unless it’s Niconico Mark/Fujisawa?)
