EDIT: I am super hyped to see the best sf2 version being played again, I hope it gets a big turnout!

It really sucks this on ps3

3

here’s your chance super1nyc.

you have about 3 weeks time to take off some days from work(if needed), for the august qualifiers in your town . i can understand if you cant make it for the grand finals, but at least take the new york pool.

this is your chance to show the offline world your Julliard piano skills bro ~

4

I haven’t been this disappointed since GFWL was confirmed for the PC port of Dark Souls.

5

Does anybody know if you can use a regular ps3 controller for this tournament? I’ve been looking to through the rules but can’t seem to find anything about controllers. If anybody can answer this I’d appreciate it.

6

Evo rules you can’t use the dualshock ones, because they are a huge pain in the ass to get them desynced with whatever ps3 they are on, but you probably can use a wired non dualshock controller

7

Yeah, controllers that wirelessly sync to the Xbox since you can cause trouble after your match. Wired and dongle are OK at evo.

8

OK, thanks guys. So one of those wired MadCatz controllers should be acceptable.

9

Yes.

10

FYI, bad news for HDR fans (I can’t believe they wouldn’t announce something like this in the rules):

11

Uh what, is that a joke.

EDIT: If true, man that sucks, I was hoping for some hdr play

12

LoL.

13

I gotta say, this spectacle has improved my already high opinion of Kuroppi. Much respect to him and to everyone else involved in organizing the ToL.

People knew the venue details of the ToL more than two weeks in advance. People knew what game they’d be playing more than two days in advance. Care was taken to ensure that the tournament was conducted on the least laggy setups possible.

The ToL was the product of love, not only for the game, but for the people who play it.

14

You should change your name to MilesOfTruth.

15

Not sure if this has been stated anywhere, but is there an entrance fee for spectators?

16

Brackets. Tourney starts at 11:30 CT

17

can someone that is there confirm the monitors being used?

18

I don’t believe so. There’s rarely ever an entrance fee for spectators.

19

They matches were pretty good, for Balrog vs X. Too bad balrog went 4-2, hopefully there is a different result in new york

20

I’ll try to do something about that.
