Northwest Majors '09 - Saturday, August 22nd- Landmark Convention Center, Tacoma, WA

I’ll be heading down to the NWM with FakeDragonBoy and Air.

I believe Ryu 311_Funk and Scrubydan are going as well, so we’ll see you there!

I can’t decide if I want to use my modded SE which I am used to using or if I should just break down and use someone else’s TE during the tourney.

ill being registering tomorrow. the 5 on 5 sounds good, but WA needs more teams. idk how you would do that though

who the fuck is yummy

It ultimately comes down to the main question of does your stick feel different or are you used to your stick.

If you are used to your stick due to spring tension or layout or whatever, and you can bring it, your best bet is to bring it.

Yah dude, this is the real thing, not casuals. You gotta stick with the character you know and the hardware you know. Though if you end up not wanting to, bring it and let me use it : ) haha I think I’d prefer an SE with sanwas over a TE anyhow.

Wild card team will comprise of all players who did not make it and will be hand picked by me. 4 teams is big and long enough since this will be a round robin tournament.

Yes there will be a prize provided by me.

Plus the last thing anyone wants to hear is someone crying about how they lost because the stick they used was different or whatever.

Here’s my idea:
Seattle
Pdx
Bc
Wild card
Mnf’s
Fresh faces/rookies.
Spokane/eastern wa if they are coming

I think a 4 man 5v5 team would be goofy, but a 6 or 8 team would make more sense.

It’s ultimately your call but I’d step up as captain for monday night fight’s.

Edit: saw it was a round robin…never mind 8 teams would be too much.

cough cough MKMASTER503 cough cough

That’s seven. For the eighth, I recommend Team Unknown Players Who Aren’t Particularly Good, aka Team Bracket Filler. I will captain this team.

Paullee, what do you think of an 8 team bracket of “crews” then?

In my experience(we did quite a few 5v5s in the midwest) A bracket is more entertaining than a round robin because people don’t have to see the same players play as often.

EDIT: Though a round robin certainly has more finality for the victors.

Team bracket filler full of randoms FTW!

Team Hardbody assemble. We are the world.

Hah, Id play on team unknown…

What time is this planned for? Obviously this is a main stage ordeal

Is there really even enough time for an event like this to happen? This idea should’ve been presented during the brainstorming process of NWM 09, not like, 2,3 days before the event.

I second the idea of Team Hardbody.
Team Fresh Faces would be dope too, cause I think I might be able to make that one.
If it is round robin than less teams would be better…if you DO get more/allow more teams than a bracket style single elim would work too.

And Elliot, you want what, SoSea & NoSea? hahah wow did I just type that, that sounds hella dumb.
Can there be a Team Sagat? I want to try out.
No matter what happens though get hype for this ish

Alright, since a successful shift switching has occurred, I will be in full attendance at NWM!

All day son, all day.

This is going to have to go down in the casuals area. You can do it on a big TV (Kenny is bringing a nice one, like last year) but it can’t take up to many setups. Even if its hype, the point of casuals is casuals, so people still need to be able to play the games they want.

If we end up having a ton of causal setups (which is up to you guys and what you bring) we can see if we can designate some for this, but people being able to play and have fun when not in tournament is top priority. That includes all games.

Too buff.
