[Jan 21st, 2012]YRSF Presents: The Double Barrel - Rise of The Underdogs Redux & "Chivalry is Dead"

[Drager]

Is it just me or is A&C going to be packed for this thing? It gets busy enough for wednesday casuals.

[Jing]

i have a feeling im going to get scummed out this tourny. too many randoms

[KingdomZero]

Funny how A & C is going to be more packed then it’s usual monthly!

I’d like to sign up for UMvC3 as KayZero

[JinChiru]

Can I be entered for UMVC3? Ive been to A&C on Wednesdays a couple of times but haven’t joined a tournament before.

I actually think that’s for the better in such a tourney, I feel it’ll be mostly randoms and wild cards for top spots for the AE Underdog tourney. UMvC…well considering how the game is designed, looks to be the most unexpected in terms of results.

[Viewtality]

I would actually like to enter the SF:AE 2012 Underdog tournament as well. For clarification, I would like to be entered as WuSRK Viewtality.

Edit: Motherofgod.jpg…XBox pad…Let the Macho Man dragons be with me.

am i considered a random? o.0

[wRolf]

Oh I see, it’s eTokki’s new converter, I don’t use pads anymore but yeah, I guess they found a simple and efficient way to fit the 360 controller signals into a single piece. I have no idea who 90% of the players are on the list but I can confirm for sure, there will be atleast 4 players minimum that play on PS pads at the tourney.

I’m already supplying some of the equipment so I gotta pack light from the trip down from Scarborough to downtown.

Yea, hopefully somebody there would let me use theirs during my matches. Though I’d understand if they didn’t. I’ll bring my PS2 along with the PS3 pads just in case.

yup…the etokki works just as well as the others

I sure hope so. n_n Or else I’d have to waste more money for the xbox 360 controller one.

[Jing]

naw i consider you FRAYYYYYYY =P

[Viewtality]

Lawl Jing. Totally benching on the event of someone bringing a converter =/. Oh lawd.

ugh
you can use mine just ask me when ever you need it
i’d bring your ps2 pad though because i use a ps1 pad which you can use if you want

[wRolf]

Hey, thanks for the offer. If my shipment doesn’t make it in time, I’ll ask you for it during my matches.

[Allori]

Can I get signed up?

I go by Allori.

[omega_orochi423]

Not sure if I was ever cleared for UMvC3. Dunno why I wouldn’t be, but I’ll just ask for a confirmation on that one I guess.

You’re good to go.

Two quick updates:

**Raffle prizes: **

Player list has been updated:

Keep in mind by no means is the roster written in stone. Players still need to show up and register to compete.

Brackets are getting pretty big! Only one week left to train, I hope we see some rising stars come out and put on a sick performance.

On January 21st, YRSF is proud to present:

**The Double Barrel: Rise of The Underdogs Redux & “Chivalry is Dead” Femme Fatales

You asked for more so we’re bringing you more! This January comes a New Year and a new host of challengers.

The popular and well received Rise of The Underdogs format returns but this time as a full-scale pair of tournaments with no bracket cap. As with the inaugural event there will be a set of eligibility criteria posted in the second post. The purpose of this type of an event is to encourage and promote the most balanced playing field while providing “amateur” players with the opportunity to compete without fear of facing wily Tournament veterans.

A Panel of judges for each game will determine player eligibility

By continuing our trend of setting a precedence in the community we are very excited to also feature a Ladies-only SSFIV:AE Tournament entitled “Chivalry is Dead – Femme Fatales” . We are posting well in advance so that all of the aspiring lady Street Fighter players can begin their training regimen.

So fellas, let your girlfriends, wives, friends, sisters, cousins - whomever know! Offer up your coaching skills, serve as a mentor and encourage them to come out. This is going to be a great opportunity to break down some barriers as we bear witness to a showcase of skills made from sugar and spice.

As an added bonus, each participant will receive a complimentary YRSF Babydoll Tee (while quantities last)

We will be hosting some “Ladies Nights” casuals in upcoming weeks. Stay tuned and start training!

Emily Chow (Emlarr) has been kind enough to offer up her assistance with the bracket running. Emily is a true inspiration for fellow Lady gamers as she’s an avid Fighting Game fan and player herself.

Thanks so much Emlarr!!!
