I’m going to this one (obviously o_o), and Davis’ (15th) for sure. I might go to the one on the 16th… it DOES sound like a fun weekend :smiley:

Great - City’s also confirmed for this Saturday. Come out if you can make it!

Your post was the one that made me call and confirm with The City’s owner. The 8th is confirmed - see you there!

9

Oh shit, I’m going to try and make it out! :smiley:

10

whoa tapioca is big enough to host a SSFIV tourney? I’m out in San Jose, CA not sure if I’m going to drive so far to spectate, not good enough to enter anything for awhile.

11

The experience is always good lose or not.

12

if i dont work im there!

13

ugh this and the 15th tournament I wanna go to, but i have no PS3 sticks and I can’t play on pad at all, lol. doubt anyone at this would let me use their stick, i assume, cause right now i can’t afford a PS3 stick when i don’t even own one :X and do PS2 sticks work on PS3?

14

I’ve never seen anyone denied loan of a stick. You’re free to use my stick, and I’m sure others would be happy to let you use theirs.

PS2 sticks work, but not natively - you need a converter. I’d go with an inPin, and I’d buy it from laugh - he’s a very trusted seller here on SRK. Here’s the converter, on his site - http://www.etokki.com/iNPiN%20PS2%20to%20PS3%20Converter.

15

So PS2 works with PS3 with the converter, but does PS3 work with PS2?

16

No, it does not. I don’t think there’s a converter, either.

17

Hey Romeo, I’m gonna try my best to make it.

Also, I told Andrew Vu to show up. He will not sign up, but he will be there to support to community :rofl:

18

I’m about 75% sure I’ll go with a buddy, not sure if I want to donate to the pot though. :X

19

I plan on attending if I can EVER get a hold of Stewie.

Hey could someone please please please bring a PS3 Controller (pad). Greatly appreciated to anyone who does!
