Lucky's Summer Ranbats/Tournaments Poll!

I’ll probably miss the first ranbat then, as I have a friend’s wedding to go to that weekend.

Are yall sure yall want 2 tournaments in one month thats just kind of crazy there man takes away from you know tournament more like a gathering then.

  1. It’s only for the Summer

  2. We did fine with it last year

I actually think that I’m going to change things for attendance reasons and to make it easier on myself…

One big tournament each month (with a ranbat), and 3 ranking battles on the off weekends. 2 of the ranbats would (or could) be held at Shiki’s venue. Shiki, you may want to get a few of those TVs from Bryan.

Thoughts?

Hey, like I said I’m fine with ranbats. It’s probably better to start with something more informal until the club gets acquainted with our scene.

So we’ve got access to a few TVs, do we?

Yeah, it was me. Jibbo is putting up a C3 thread soon from what I understand, so that might help determine dates so that you guys don’t overlap.

Thats fine with me if the 2 and 2 thing doesn’t work out, however dates for it, I hope, should come quick so I can call those days off of course. Thanks Roski…

Hmm, for the ranbats, can people promote games besides GG/3s?

Also, what about UM and SC4- those are the two big games coming out, though both hit late July (UM is import only)

Um… I like how you guys did it last year. Bi-weeklies were dope.

we seriously need to put vf5 in there but not enuff people play it. its always about bs juggle-rific tekken. vf more technically sound than tekken and less bull shit but people dont appreciate it

Man, not to shoot you down, but saying that here is beating a dead horse. I brought VF5 (w/convertors mind you) to the majority of the bi-weeklies last year and NEVER NOT ONCE did we get over 10 entries. The game is wonderful, we all know that, but 1. not everyone has access to it and 2. the level of commitment to play it just isnt present in most of the community. I will gladly bring it to any ranbat/tourny we have just for a side game; just like Tekken was at the last one. Also dont make the mistake of thinking anybody here (other than myself really) actually CARES about NCTekken. It could become a long drawn out discussion but to make it short lets just put it like this.

  1. NC2D community graciously opened door to NCT community to extend itself
  2. NCT community initially showed life
  3. Key members stopped showing interest/showing to tournaments
  4. NCT went back on life support

But all of that was completely off topic.

I really dont know how to vote on this. B/C im with Q. Working multiple jobs and trying to get this school finished really makes it hard for me to say what I can do. But being realistic I know I could probably make one or two tournaments per month and if there is a ranbat the following day I could do it. But holding something EVERY weekend just wont work out for me.

O.

Honestly, best bet is to see if SC4 takes off, then to try and beat the T5DR/VF5 horses. I tried on VF, I failed as well.

Shiki has a better shot of getting Tenka to be played then anyone does of VF getting played.

yea we will see, if sc4 doesnt get no tourney love when it kicks out in july i wont know what to do. but any way o, i guess we have to be in japan to get the full vf effect but thats not gonna happen…

So the way I’m leaning now is to do one big tournament (with the ranking battles) and then one ranking battle at Lucky’s, then the other two weekends could be the ranking battles/other games at Shiki’s venue.

We need Shiki to figure out what’s good with June 14th at his place and go ahead and post something up. Because of this coordination (and with VA), I only have the first two dates up - they are posted though:

May 31st - Ranking Battle 2.1
June 7th - Tournament + Ranking Battle 2.2

Gogogogo!!!

MD/VA will not be in attendance 6/7. There’s a SOVA tournament we’re gonna storm instead. Good luck though.
