March 21st Bi-Weekly Tournys return to Chicago! (Nickel city)

Fuck this is going to be hype! I only hope that when j1n and I roll down, we can make a weekend out of it somehow by crashing with someone to get more games in on sunday.

Ari: Please take care of my TVs at the arcade =P

Also, I personally do not recommend anyone using HDTVs for tournaments yet because you don’t want to possibly add any fuel to the lag debate. The TVs at the arcade are all SDTV CRT…

If you guys are not the laptop stealing type, I can probably host you for some bi-weeklies. :slight_smile:

I’ll try to make these. I always have a fun time at Nickel City and this gives me an excuse to visit some friends up there. I’ll probably spent a lot of my time in the Mario Kart arcade. XD

Big thanks to Jason for letting us use his tv’s for the console tourneys! :clapdos:

Ow…my pride…

I’ll be there! If 360’s are required, I can bring mine, plus HDR and SF4, and I can bring my PS2 in case an extra is needed for some unknown reason.

If any southsiders have an extra spot in a car for these, J-money would gladly kick you some gas dinero.

good shit! I hope these end up being successful for everyone for a long time and everyone shows up. Brings back memories of how shit used to be

Random; Mario got access to a computer post- Ari. Please add VSav & VHunt to that line up.>_<.

I am all over this. $1 tourneys are too fucking awesome. :lovin:

Honesly seems like more people own 360’s in chicago so why not just run 4 and Remix on them?

Just a thought. :slight_smile:

SF4 is the truth. Jim, you will really like Rose, shes hot shit in this game (played a ton of her the other night at a friends).

If you really can run side tournaments for 02UM, I’ll play you in it. Can’t decide on a team though.

May Lee is the only reason I play 02, but I too will play you in 02UM.

um no

thats a good point

oh ya mwc and evo will probably be on ps3 though, the main thing is the stick issue but i think enough people will be there that can bring ps3s, and on the other hand, people aren’t dicks, so if you don’t have a 360 i’m sure someone will lend you theirs

The advantage to PS3 is that you can use your PS2 stick with a converter.

Not sure if there’s a PS2 -> 360 converter, is there?
That and EVO is using PS3s.

there is a ps2 to 360 controller converter but it is about 60-80 dollars and it lags, my pad is a monstrosity as it is, but i’ve kept it on life support and it keeps on ticking lol

All im saying is for ease of use for the tourny.

Most of chicago seems to have 360s.

Most of chicago plays on sticks.

Thus most of chicago should have 360 sticks probably.

Im just sayin. The whole 360 controller issue is kinda old now. There are many types of sticks and the new pads out now. Plus ps2->ps3 converters are kinda hard to find. I have like one of them but its a pelican and they are worth mucho so I would not be lending it out at all for example.

I’m there with you guys about the 360s…I hate PS3s, but there are lots of people who still have PS2 sticks “supposedly.”

EVO is using PS3 unless someone buys them 20 360 systems, so if you want to change history, be my guest, I would donate one to them in a heartbeat if they changed over to 360. I mean think about it, most of the best players play on XBL anyway, and most people have 360s…then you have the pad people that swear by the stupid PS3 pad and won’t use anything else.

Now you guys can see what I had to deal with for arcade/console stuff. Time to deal with HDTV/360/PS3 crap now.
