It shouldnt be that hard for me and max to run the brackets at the same time.
I am kind of wanting to do something along the lines of how I ran the tournaments at Chicago Heart (without any stupid errors like with mvc3 lol).

If we dont use that method then we will need help with keeping track of stations etc.
I would love to do commentary for sf4/mvc3 and I have the background for it. Entertaining commentary is good but you also want accurate commentary. Thing is if I am running brackets I am not sure if I would get the chance but maybe.

You could do some commentary for one of the games while I and maybe Eric Scott or Nives or someone handle brackets while you’re gone, if you want.

yea humbag, use the same system as CH3. it worked well. You can do some commentary too. Its ok to not do it the whole time, we can have people constantly switching out to keep it fresh and get a lot of different people on the mic.

I really can’t wait for this. been playing SF my whole life(II and IV series) but just very recently discovered the competitive scene. I’m a little nervous about getting bodied at my first tournament but at the same time def excited to train for it. hopefully I can attend a few local gatherings before the 7th.

OK so now heres another important question. What consoles do you all want each game to be on? Realistically it would be better to have AE and UMVC3 on different consoles since they will be the biggest games and that way we will have more resources and setups so that things can run faster and people can get more matches and casuals in. So… everyone seems to mostly prefer XBOX these days. I personally have a PS3. Which game runs worse on PS3 compared to XBOX between Marvel and SSFIV?

Also, I know nothing about MK9 since I dont play it. Hows each version for that game?

please do AE on xbox. please.

MK is always PS3.

UMvC3 and AE run better on 360.

Ultimate runs better on PS3 than AE does.

I’m kinda in favor of just using xbox. =/

I am tired of random slowdown on ps3.

I am thinking that with a staggered start (like i did at CH3) with enough consoles of 1 type we can use one system.

And with the new games, we don’t have to worry about Sentinel not being patched again.

(Though we will have to ensure every XBox has the AE2012 version.)

Well… I suppose we could use Xbox for AE and UMVC3 and use PS3 for MK and BB. It will all depend on how many xbox setups people bring. **So if people want UMVC3 and AE on xbox, then please bring setups! **

Honestly though… is UMVC3 on PS3 really much different than xbox? It seems OK to me but I havnt played it on xbox much.

Generally it’s the PS3 that can’t handle the game more than the game running like shit on it. New fangled slims and whatnot have relatively good lifespans now that they are new, so the processor can handle all those particle effects. Old fatty PS3s are like a disease. Shit slows down 24/7.

Don’t hate the game, hate the system.

Also the auto super jump S should be turned OFF at tournaments. I think that its a stupid addition and is actually worse.

i agree, auto super jump sucks

So what’s the interest for a KOF XIII side tourney? We got a little burgeoning scene starting here in Chicago and this would be a good venue to train up for.

can i bring a pc setup with AE and AC?

i really don’t want to buy a ps2 stick just for one tourney

So it’s not at the hotel CH3 where at? Umm…What is nickel City anyway?

Hell ya, been waitin on this thread to pop up. Chat’s in there, AE.

I vote xbox for AE

nickel City is an arcade. we will have the tournament in the party room but people are welcome to play all of the arcade games there as well. most games are either on free play or only cost a few nickels.

sym, theres not much point in bringing a pc setup. there will be plenty of controllers and sticks for people to use. if you need to use a ps2 stick you can use mine

This makes me sad, also reminds me that an era is over…

Not gonna make it to this like I’d hoped, but Medina does good stuff with WCS so I’ll be sure to stream monster it up.

I’ll come if SSF4: AE is on PS3.
