'got a monitor, 360 and umvc3 ready. hit me up whenever!
There is shop downtown Amherst that I popped into yesterday and had a chat with the owner. Dude wants to run tourneys, has a back room with monitors and shit, etc. He sells new/used consoles, games, and accessories. He also has no hands. Happy New Year.
hmmm… sounds interesting. where is it located within amherst?
it’s on pleasant st, on the west side of the street as you head north (towards UMASS) from the center of town. The dude is fairly chill, but I forget his name.
I’m gonna head down there next week to check it out. I gotta get my car fixed but im down to go
im going to the GCC Gaming Guild next wednesday to see what its like
Hey guys, what’s up? I’m a Soul Calibur player from the 8WR.com forum, and at the urging of Nightblade, I’ve started an account here to discuss a tournament idea we have going in the New England area.
The potential venue is GamePlayUSA in Springfield, MA. The tournament date would be St.Patrick’s Day, Saturday, March 17th. The games we want to run are SSF4:AE, UMvC3, Street Fighter x Tekken, and Soul Calibur 5. There would be a $10 venue fee, and each tournament would be $10 entry.The store is located in the Eastfield Mall, so the venue opens at 10am, and we would likely begin signups at 11am. The first tournament would start at 1pm, with each successive tournament beginning very 2 hours. For example:
11am-1pm signups for all tournaments
1pm-3pm UMvC3
3pm-5pm Soul Calibur 5
5pm-7pm SSF4:AE
7pm-9pm Street Fighter x Tekken
Obviously, you can sign up for any tourney up until it begins (remember, the schedule above is just an example, not actual). Also, the mall closes at 9pm, but they might be willing to remain open until Midnight. So, from 9pm-Midnight, we might take a vote and run some side tourneys like Team Tourneys, Tekken 6, or Mortal Kombat. Also, you could play casual in whatever you’d like, and there are loads of setups available for you to play on. There MAY, however, be an additional $5 venue fee for remaining open. They may not charge this $5, but they MIGHT. I’m just letting everyone know what I have tentatively discussed with the store’s Tournament Director, Tom.
This post is really just to gauge the interest the New England 2D FG community would have in such an event ATM. Questions/Comments/Suggestions are absolutely welcome, and as the details are further discussed and things become definitive, I’ll continue to update you guys. Thanks.
Could I get feedback from you all on this thread.
How was the gamers guild? I’m at UMass during their meetings now, so I probably won’t be able to go to any this semester.
Hey guys we got a 6-game event that’s only like half-an-hour away from you all on March 11th. Hit the thread in my signature if you want in:
Hey Greenfield, come to TnT for casuals in Holyoke tomorrow.
any of you still alive? Me and my friend play umvc alot together, looking for more players.
Thinking of holding a small tournament in Greenfield at a public location. Who’s interested and what games would they want to see?
Also would anyone be willing to bring PS3 compatible fight sticks, and let others use them?
Yes. I can bring my PS3 and 360 Asus set up when you are ready for that. I’d like to see anything really,even smash. The thought of Greenfield playing anything outside of Strategy games and MOBAs is quite thrilling
I could also rep a ps3 setup, asus monitor, and TE stick, depending on the day
whereabouts are you in the valley?
