Northwest Majors: June 28th at UW

? I thought DR was 5.1… What’s the difference, then?

Alex: I meant DR. I personally believe the Seattle area has a strong player base, and I’m letting my personal preference influence my say on the matter. Besides, I don’t have faith that all that many portland CVS2 players would show up. Canada would bring a few, and utterly dominate the tourney. I suppose it’s strong enough, though.
Also, if CVS2 goes, then run it on PS2, not DC. They’re identical in gameplay, but the timing is different enough to mess with execution pretty hard. I can’t go from PS2 to DC and still get cr.lp>st.lk>fierce shouken at all.

I thought DC was the tournament standard? there wouldn’t be any problem running it on PS2 either way

Alex, I am willing to help, what do you need?

We also should find a way to get more DVR’s or at least camcorders, I wanna see some casuals as well as some preliminaries, not just semis and finals… you never know when a really awesome match that deserves to be recorded will happen (ex: all of Pablo’s matches at Random Select…)

yeah, I’d want at least 3 setups with recording capabilities
-2 for any tournament matches we feel are worthy of recording
-1 with two videos cameras set up to record player reactions (for semifinals/finals)

oh, and I’ll PM you about helping out

I’ll be there whenever this goes down, I can cover one or poss. two cam-dameras for either live shots or to be hooked up directly as a dvr.
-Its kinda what i do…

Awesome, that would help out a lot

I will keep you in mind for my future camera needs :slight_smile:

Yes! Yes yes yes I love this idea. I always liked that about those vids and it never crossed my mind to do it here. :lol:

Definitely down to help.

B2K-Bump Bump Bump!

If i can help with anything let me know.

Those are a some good choices of games, but I think that by the time this comes together, VF5 may have gained big enough following by then. I don’t know anything about the planning going on around this, but I would like to help if I could. I worked as an event planner for a year at my old college.

Does anyone have an idea of when this might happen?

I wouldn’t mind seeing CvS2…

MARVEL!

As it stands, this is all still in the brainstorming stage. Nothing has been set yet. I think the main problem for us up here is venue related. Where would we hold it? It has to be a place that isn’t very expensive I would think.

You’ve been saying it for hella long.

Yeah every place Pabloz and Axels have called costs insane duckets to rent, the Random Select people were lucky that their venue was free… it’s understandable we’re not making more headway…

What would really help would be to set a meeting where everyone who was interested in really helping and planning this could show up, and you could set a time table for exactly what needs to get done, when things need to get done by, and start to figure out an estimated cost for how much this will be to pull off. You could set the date for the event as far as a year out, just to give yourself a lot of time to figure things out, and adjust it as things develop. (A year might be a good idea anyway.)

Setting a meeting will also let people who want to plan this know who is really committed to making it happen by seeing who is interested enough to show up to a planning meeting in person and work on it.

That’s a very good idea.

I totally agree with this statement.

honostly i think the strongest NW games are

ST 3s cvs2 and marvel correct me if i’m wrong.

i know i’d be willing to travel for at least 3 of the 4

edit: no punctuation or seperation of phrases ^^

Just about the only thing barring this from happening is location

a UW ballroom would cost $1000+ to rent for 12 hours, and every rec center I’ve called either wouldn’t be able to accommodate us, or is too expensive

You guys find me a suitable location (hopefully less than like $300), and I’ll make it happen

What are the facility requirements we’ve established?

I’m not sure we’ve established any

anywhere that has power outlets, tables, and chairs works for me

and they would probably need to be open for a good portion of the day, at least 10 hours or so
