You should allow Algol, because A) he’s probably gonna be tourney legal anyway, and B) I play him and am a complete asshole for doing so. Actually, mostly 'cause of B. There’s also some debate over whether or not the bonus characters should be legal, but I highly doubt anybody will care.
Also, just FYI, the vast majority of Seattle SC players use the 360 version and VF sticks. Dunno how to work that out, as I’m not even sure how many of them are interested in coming. I’ll let you know after I talk get the word out. Can’t think of anyone who’d prefer the 360 pad, so as long as we have at least two good PS3 sticks that can be shared, we should be alright.
Zig - At the moment, Algol is banned. I really don’t wanna see a boss character winning a tourney. Vader is banned because he’s not in the 360 version. The Ps3 version was chosen because they have convertors for various sticks and pads.
The last thing I want is an RROD during the tourney, especially since I’ll be providing the system itself.
Dual Shock/Sixaxis > Xbox 360 pad.
Note: If Algol is legalised in most upcoming tourneys, I can unban him =P
Do you have 360->PS3 adapters? If so, that’d be perfect. Also, I’ve been browsing the upcoming SC4 tournaments and not yet seen any that are banning Algol, including NEC. Here’s the forum:
If some of you show up, I can change the system to 360 for Soul Calibur 4, but I need someone to volunteer their 360 with the game and a few controllers.
I can provide either system with the game/sticks/adapters (ps3) but personally I lean towards the PS3 for superior controller options via adapter.
SC4 notes: Algol is unbanned. Vader/Yoda is still banned for exclusivity issues. All infinites and glitches are banned.
If you would like to volunteer running a bracket. Let me know.
Yo Ray tell them to fix that cabinet plus and lower the price to a quarter. Sticks are iffy right now and are way too short. Other then that the cabinet is coo
I have no idea why Mvc2 was dropped. Maybe because of control issues?
BBH - Definitely. I hope it’s up and running by Saturday though.
Kennewick/Tri-Cities guys - It would be great if you guys still came down here. We could at least get Mvc2 on free play during the tourney. Afterwards we could hit up another bar or have Pho/dinner somewhere. Also, if I win any t-shirts, I’ll give them away starting with “myleftshoe” and any of the other out-of-towners that want em.
