hey guys I am back to having casuals at my place. starting up again next tuesday at 6pm. PM me for my address and cell. e’ll be playing some t6, sf4, sc4 and bb.
and hyo I said the same thing in 1998 gettin paid off 2nd:I then again in 2001.
you dont have to go full blown tournament scene, but when you play just for fun
you realize the lack of stress and shit not having to worry about (loss of)cash and city rep
and all the stuff so yawn to me after 20 years playing fighting games in arcades.
I feel you tho cause NEC maybe last time I put up $$ on a fighting game match. I never was about that shit. I need to lvl up my organizing, hosting, stick/tech skills
on the real tip. i need some cabs in my crib…
Chaos, Zack, Larry and anyone else who went to the VGXPO tournaments last month at the convention center:
I had emailed their website to get an update on the prize checks, and they are stating they should be mailed out sometime in the next week or two.
HOWEVER, this guy is alleging that of the $20 tournament entry, FULLY HALF OF THAT GOES INTO THEIR POCKETS!!! Now this is in addition to the enormous entry to the event itself!! So, instead of getting $364 for the two tournaments, they want to try and pay me $182. This would be outrageous enough if we hadn’t SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMED the tournament rules and terms, but this is just ridiculous.
I would encourage you to email Ed Fleming at edfleming@vgxpo.com and make your feelings known.
Wow thats silly just the pass alone was like $25+. I guess I learned my lesson about the Video Game expo tournaments. :tdown:
What did you put in your email skye? Should I mention the backlash from the fighting community and how it will severely hurt their future events? Yeah there was no rules about them taking half of the entry, only thing they said was if there was not enough people for a tournament they would refund the money. :nono:
Wow! I ran a 44 man sc4 and 20 man tekken 5dr tournament for ed at last years vgxpo and apparently nobody learned from my mistake. No one got paid and I got fucked over. I made a post about it at 8wayrun.com last year. I’m suprised none of you remember it.
Anyway I am still hosting for a gathering this tuesday night if people want to come. I have a couple of people coming over at 10pm and a couple coming over before that. If anyone wants my cell and address pm me.
