eric, what weekend? nov 3-5 and the 11th are no good for me, just throwing that out there. thanksgiving weekend obviously won’t work. NEC is that first weekend in december, then you start to dip into finals week and the holidays.
maybe nov 18th is our best bet, although kugler would miss it. hmmmmm.
CHRIS AND FRANK, what’s up guys!? hopefully all is well in OH. i’ll have to drive up to c-bus one of these weekends and hang out and get some games in with everybody. frank, i’m trying to learn ST, i’d like to get some games in against your O Sagat, i remember chris saying it was really good. whatever happened to fugi and his big c-bus tourney he was going to throw?
i’m good. chris was hanging out with me a few times then he disappeared on me…shrug…yeah i play alot of AE (although I can’t stand it) and CvS2 on XBL…that’s about it…I need to play ST (arcade version) and O. Sagat? You don’t even need to worry about him. It’s CE Sagat that’s the new beast, ask Rose…LOL…he’s so stupid…as far as AE goes…for ST, yeah my O. Sagat is alright, but it’s been so long since I have played that game that it would take a minute or two to remember all the stupid shit. I am more interested in play Bison and Balrog than Sagat…its more fun and I don’t have to worry about hitting corners perfectly for dp’s and shit. aight man, peace out. nice to hear from you.
So looks like we’re going to have a place on either November 11th or 18th (I think you said 17th Eric, but thats friday). It’ll be hosted at the Kentucky Inn, and we’ll have enough room for about 40 people. Anyway, What is going to look more possible for you guys, 2nd or 3rd weekend? I would like to shoot for the 11th. It would also be cool if you would all go ahead and post what games you play and if you intend to come. I would like to reach an attendance of 30 to justify renting out a place for this tournament. Sorry about any confusion before, but I did not promptly search for a venue. Stay tuned to the FP for updates.
11th would be better for me. I’ll definitely play CvS2 & 3S. I still have to decide whether or not I’ll play the other games. BTW What version of ST is going to be played at the tourney?
yep CE sagat is retarded. and frank sorry I disappeared. The weeks go by so fast when i’m a bum lol. Im always doing something or sleeping in till like 6pm
okay, give me the location with address, venue fee (if there is one), when we have the rooms til, etc, and i’ll hype it up and make the tournament thread look official.
how does this look for a list of games?
cvs2 (ps2 or DC)
3S (ps2)
T5 (ps2)
ST (???)
mvc2 (DC)
some guilty gear (no clue, don’t play the game)
and i’m assuming we’ll split up the games, 3 starting at 1PM, 3 starting at 3 or 4PM. how about mvc2, GG, and T5 at 1PM, and 3S, cvs2, and ST at 3 or 4PM? (registration at noon) i know cvs2 usually takes long, but if we have enough stations and people are on top of their game, then it won’t take long at all.
Unless there is a good number of people who own CvS2 for DC I don’t see the point in having it on DC. Just put it on PS2, it’s still arcade perfect and that’s the version most people have. Besides, I don’t want to have to bring a extra stick just to play CvS2. Just my 2 cents.
Somebody mentioned on the first page to put HSF2 intead of ST. CCC2 is supposed to have arcade perfect ST but that doesn’t come out until November 14th.
Guilty Gear has to be Slash. That’s the latest version and what all the GG players are playing. You could ask the GG players to bring their modded PS2’s & copies of the game if needed.
If you guys need I can bring my PS2, DC and copies of the games (I have all of them). However, I still need to talk to Eric and confirm with him whether or not he’ll be able to give me a ride.
Not sure if I’m coming to this (it’s doubtful I’d say) but I’m interested in ST & 3S. ST…SSF2T…not HSF2 AE. All this time the talk has been of ST and someone mentioned bringing an arcade machine if need be (which is the way it should be honestly). Follow up on your word and have a ST tournament.
Sorry guys the tournament is going to have to be delayed a week. It will now take place on the 18th. The hotel mixed up the dates we requested. Also, if anyone needs a room, Kentucky Inn will give a special rate of $45 dollars if you mention “Team Kentucky” if you get a room.
9:00 AM Room is open and I begin setting up.
10:00 AM Signups and casuals begin.
1:00 PM Guilty Gear and Third Strike Begin.
2:30 PM CVS2 and Tekken Begin.
4:00 PM Super Turbo Begins
There will be a standard entry fee of 10$. This will go toward paying for the venue. Each game will also have an entry fee of 10$. The prize structure is still in discussion. Rest assured it will be in cold hard cash.
The tournaments are staggered because GG and TS will have probably have the most entrants and it will let me narrow down the number of matches that are going on at once to a manageable level.
Rooms at the Kentucky Inn are 45$ if you mention you are a part of Team Kentucky. They have tv’s, some with composite inputs some without. Better bring adapters just to be sure. There is no air conditioning in the rooms.
I don’t know if we should hold grand finals all one after another or just as they come up in rotation.
Some people wouldn’t like to stay till the end of the day for grand finals, but some people would like them delayed so they get to watch them all without being called for another game.
Put up your vote here and I’ll schedule accordingly.
where’s mvc2 and A3 in that list? GOTTA have those. i’d say a better schedule would be…
1PM
3S
guilty gear
cvs2
4PM
mvc2
tekken
A3 (PS2)
ST
if A3 and ST don’t have a ton of entrants, round robin to get your money’s worth. and you’re right, 3S and gg will probably have the most entrants, but it is smarter to have cvs2 earlier than later because, well, it’s cvs2. the 4 late games don’t take that long, so those would work out fine.
in terms of finals, i’d have them all in order as they come up. that way, the 2 players playing will still be fresh instead of waiting hours and having to warm up again for that particular game.
also, post up the address, so i can make the official tournament post.
