NYC Console Revival! - Bi-weekly Ranbats + Casual Fridays

**While I was playing in the losers brackets, someone took the paper and didn’t tell me the updates which lead to the confusion. Sure, I screwed up, but that was because of lack of information. Otherwise, I took care of the problem by awarding those who were both present in the brackets, as well as latecomers, accordingly and respectively.

Don’t bother coming if you think it isn’t worth or if it’s not your interest. One Ranbat foulup doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world anyway. Besides, it’s not like neither you or anyone else hasn’t screwed up in that form of fashion (unless you’d want to count the way the brackets were made from the CVS2 tournament at this year’s EVO EAST 2007).

Either way, it’s just one less piece of drama anyone wouldn’t want to hear from- besides having the Smash players coming up to us randomly asking us stupid questions about the Ranbat in the first place :annoy:

FYI, it wasn’t 5-6 hours. it was done in less than 3 since there were 2 TV’s used while ST Ranbats were being play.

As to those that stated they were coming but didn’t, thank you all for your divided support since we only had less than usual for both 3S and ST to create a minium SIX MAN Round Robin Ranbat to begin with.

Like Nohoho said, if people would be men to their words in coming to play in a small community tourney, then we’d have people to tell others about it and bring a bigger crowd.

Instead, there was an 8 man GGXX:AC tournament that went to the wire with the unexpected players.

Hopefully if people are interested in continuing with GGXX Ranbats, then it can be a major bi weekly tournament.

-In all respect, SIX players are needed as a minimum for each game to perform a Round Robin Ranbat, EIGHT is needed for a double elimination bracket.

-Try to bring your own copies of Anniversary Collection/Capcom Classic Collection 2/CVS2 for casuals/etc. as well as accessories in case anything goes awry.

-Support is always welcome. Any volunteers to help with the brackets, setting up equipment, organizing the brackets, etc. is always appreciated.

There, I’ve said my two cents. See you all in 2 weeks. Phuck Top Tier!

once again…
45 rector st?!!?!?!!?!

I’m going to go to CTF instead of W2Z tomorrow since ECC (arcade, bitches) is coming up.

If there’s another ranbat (SSN warmup?) in two weeks I hope to make it to that. Anti-shoto - if nobody shows up october 12th, you and I will have an O.Sagat vs. Barlog showdown!!! And by “O.Sagat” I mean the gold and blue one that comes from Brazil. hehe

yeah im not going tommorrow, since it would cost me uh, whats that word: money

This is my first time reading the NYC section of tournaments as i live in toronto. I will be moving back to nj and coming to nyc for the tournaments next year, so HELLO!

**Nohoho-Whoa whoa whoa…I see your cousin coming from San Paolo with those shin guards, dude. Was he coming from the Copa America finals? Or was he doing Muy Thai in a Capoiera tourney? =P
Don’t worry. I’ll try no to dissapoint. I’ll need the preparation anyway.
Plus, I have my Cammy, my half sister from London to seduce your beast with mega splits and spiral arrows.

Best of ten, perhaps?

And, YES, there will be 2 ranbat warmups for the SSN.

One in October 12th, the other in October 26th.

The games will be the same: 3S/ST/GGXX:AC/CVS2/etc…
Location: Web2zone- 45 Cooper Square (Better now?)
Time: 6:30 pm warmup times, 7:30pm-8pm ranbat tourneys signups.
Fee: 2$ per tournament

If any wants more games included, bring copies of the games, consoles, and I’ll bring in the bracket papers. Otherwise, you know where to contact me.

Considering the kind of people that Blanka flies on his private jet from Brazil it’s going to take more than that to distract him!

**ANNOUNCEMENT:

As discussed with Alex Strife several days ago, The Bi-weekly Ranbats in W2Z shall continue.

Due to management conflicts, the upper brass wanted the event in Fridays to be none other than casuals. HOWEVER, they did not mention that the Ranbats were
a waste of time in their store, nor was it distracting their business in any sort of fashion. As long as I control when it will or will not commence, the Ranbats still happen.

I understand that people have not attended the last 2 Ranbats due to the assumption that the management has forced the idea of Ranbats out of W2Z for good. BUT, there hasn’t been any confirmation that it has stopped. Like I said in the beginning of the Ranbat, Season 1, I (Antishoto) take over the Biweekly tournies and make sure that everything is competitive to any game desired. The upcoming Season 2 shall include Arcana Heart, which will be in Evo East, and Evo Finals in Vegas, 2k8.

Therefore, the Bi-Weekly Ranbats: SEASON 2 shall begin weeks after this upcoming SSN.

As for now, this upcoming Friday (10-26-07) will be canceled due to preparations for SSN this coming Saturday.

Stay tuned!!
