NorthWest Majors 3 Cancelled

Not sure what you mean, but Super NCR has MvC2 on PS3.

Also the shit at BK was a lot of miscommunication and everything in regards to streaming.

Sorry for being unclear. I blame the morning and a caffeine headache. I meant it would be the first opportunity for BB:CS to have it’s first major since the console version will be out by then (but not in time for Evo). I mentioned MVC2 since the BB community gave up having BB:CT (the old game) at Evo so that MVC2 could be held on PS3 instead (which I am surprised is even in demand, as that community has always appeared to be Dreamcast-only or nothing).

It’s not my intent to renew any arguments between the two communities. I just wanted to mention having GG and leaving out BB based on the players is pretty weak, although I doubt Elias really meant it, being a GG player sometimes himself.

Anyway, I believe Frank has talked to Jais about this a bit, so I assume the reasoning for BB being left out has already been discussed.

Cocoaine’s a helluva drug.

I HEARD that the thing that went down at bloody knuckles is that someone was streaming BB and that got blamed for slowing down the SF4 stream, the BB community claims they asked and were told it was okay to stream. I don’t want to name any names, but I consider the person who said they asked very trustworthy and would be very surprised if he was lying. Maybe he asked the wrong guy or there was a communication error or something. I could also be completely off base, I spent most of my time at the GG setup, and only came over to BB for my matches.

As for GG being stale, right now there are a lot of people who could get first, and at the UW tournament someone placed second who, as far as I know, no one has ever heard of(I certainly hadn’t met him before). Right now top 3 contenders I’d say are, woki, wuku, me, missedFRC, tae, jais, hellsap(if he comes/is still in practice?) and digital watches. All those people have decent shots at the top 3 IMO, and if the robo/eddie player from the UW HUB tournament keeps playing/practicing I’d give him a shot at top 3 as well. Heck if Canada comes down add in paul and ray(i don’t know if that’s actually how he spells his name) probably have good shots also. The question is will canada/oregon come if it’s not a main tourney(or anyone else from far off?).

From what it sounds like it was just a big miscommunication on BB’s part.

Why in the hell is their only like 5 games on the line up for a 2 day event and like 4 SSF4 tourny’s? Just looking at all the other Majors that are happening this one looks kinda sad and very bias imo. For me I don’t care about going or not, but just for the other people like the 3s,BB,GG players and etc… If they would include more games in the line up wouldn’t it better for the scene in the NW?

I would guess it might be based off equipment possibilities? I don’t know, but personally, I would like to push for 3rd strike and maybe BB or Guilty Gear.

I mean if the rumored release date still is in existence then I would strongly push for BB. Especially when there is the chance for NWM to have outside of the NW attend. I mean hell, look at EC Throwdown 2. They had games like UMK3, GG and MB.

Also, just thought about this, but Frank, can you also get me a general idea of what the net will be like there?

Slash I don’t really have an answer for what the net is like at BW, except that it’s wifi.

In regards to the Blazblue nonsesne that happened at bloody knuckles. That doesn’t have any influence on my stand to have whatever games are at NWM.

Again that’s why there’s a BYOC room. If Dustloop would like to hold a BB:CS tournament in the BYOC they are more than welcome too. We can promote it on the site, including having people do online registering but it won’t be a sanctioned NWM’s tournament.

AGAIN, with 5 events, plus tournamentwars playoffs and finals to run 5 is more than enough.

Then why the hell would you buy it? You already invested your money. Bizarre. You knew it was the same game. Sell that shit back while you still can get some money for it.

Well yeah. I wouldn’t bother if I lived in olympia either to be honest. (Props to mike!)

Okay. I never said you had to be like me and play it anyway, hon’. :razz: I understand you’re just sharing, but it’s cool dude, no pressure.

I didn’t know if it was the players or the streaming or whathaveyou. It would be weak for that reasoning, but what’s really weak is… well, blazblue.

In response to slash saying look at east coast throwdown: look at east coast as a scene. Way bigger than our scene. Probably not all being run by like one person. Really though, Mortal Kombat? Like… I know you’re just demonstrating the diversity but gtfo with that shit. Don’t even go there girlfriend.

I’d love to still be a guilty gear player, just not in a tournament. Too rusty. Hard to shake it off one practice match at a time too. Was tellin’ tanaka we should practice as we both like the game but are too out of practice to compete.

no 3s… gtfo of my work place

Real talk. I’m gonna be spending a lot of time in the BYOC room, if someone brings 3S for 360 or is willing to let me hold their stick.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

needed to be repeated hahahaha

I know the games have already been set.
Just found this online though.

Order of games by number of users online on xbox 360 in the US (Worldwid would be a different order):
Super Street Fighter 4
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Tekken 6
Soul Calibur 4
Dead or Alive 4 has about the same as HDR, I forgot DoA existed
Blazblue
Ultimate MK3!!!

The others don’t make top 100 even :frowning:

Not my stick bmckay! I don’t know you like that homie!!! hahah

I want to hear you say this IRL someday sir.

Well if you came out to a tournament once and a while you would know what’s going on with the scene. I’m just saying kick it some more man, then you wouldn’t have to post up half of the stuff you do on SRK becasue you’d be talking about it in person with us.

So, again, I am free to help with this event after I quit my job. Which won’t be till mid July.

I mean in the planning process of NWM because something tells me this event may have an ‘organization’ issue before long. Not that that would be a nail in the coffin or something but ya get my drift dog.

I also offered to help, when did Tacoma become so friendly?

Nate, you and I are the exception. That is more fact than fiction I’m sad to say. HAHA

but Frank is also setting it up and that dude came from Tacoma too, haha but other than us 3 yes I agree

Super Joe with an in the park home run. 4?!
