People, People, im thinking of coming to this thing. just a few questions. first off where is everyone staying at. also who can i stay with. who is bringing the poker chips. whats the transportation like there. will people be able to lend rides to and from hotel and shit. i see that we out of staters can be picked up from the airport. but was wondering whats up afterwards. can we get a ride back to the airport mon morning or sun night. any help asap would be greatly appreciated. since airline prices only get higher from here on out. also do i have to register online before hand.
so… who was the few people who wanted to MM me?
% of going for me raised greatly…

With all the people now coming for ST, and with all the drama that will be surrounding this game, I’ll be the first to officially request that the finals be played out on Sunday along with MvC2, CvS2 and 3s. No reason for this game to get the bum treatment when so many good players are making it out this time around…it might be one of the biggest!
ALSO still looking for somebody who can house on Thursday or at least give me something to do…
Is there any other way that you guys know of on a way to get to the event if I arrive at HOU airport at 9:05pm?
Thats cool. I get into Houston early Friday, would like to play some CvS2 then to warm up.
Question for Ranma or whoever knows : can we pay the registration ($10 if done online) and then pay the cost for the games we enter at the place? For example, I’m entering CvS2. If I paid the registration cost now and wanted to pay for CvS2 at the tournament before it started, would I still have to pay that extra 10 dollars of registration? Sorry if I didn’t state this clearly.
Ok ok…I just put in my request for taking the 17th 18th and 19th off. I will know by this Saturday if I will have those days off and if I do I will be happy to house up to 4 people and give them rides to and from the tourney.

ST is not getting the ‘bum treatment’. it will be a priority just like all the other tournaments. We’re going by a set timetable and order of events. We’re trying to get this tournament organised so it goes as smoothly and enjoyable as possible. I’m sorry, we cannot change the schedule.
Lemme answer what I can here:
umthrfkr:
Yeah, we’re trying to organize as many rides as possible for out of towners. Friday will be the most hectic, meanwhile sat-sun will probably mainly be going from the motel to UH. We’re trying to work out Monday schedules also.
Phil:
If we had the time I would, unfortunately we’re already going to be cutting it real close as it is. ST will be concluded on Saturday.
Legendary Gokou:
Yes, you can register online only. Then enter tournaments the day of. Take note though, if you aren’t there to enter on Friday, you have until 12pm on Saturday to enter any tournaments you are planning to join.
This last part is for everybody and is kind of a support post to Kensou’s:
We’re trying to gain sponsorship for this year’s event as well as field potential sponsorships for future events as well. One thing that cannot be allowed to continue is people talking about modded consoles, and pirating games. Come on now, it wasn’t that long ago that it was said talking about such things was subject to being banned from the forums. The other thing is we need to try and clean up this thread a bit. Personally, I don’t mind a little trash talking, adds spice to the conversation, but the money matches and betting etc is starting to get outta hand. Help me out here guys!
I cosign on that, I’m cancelling any money matches. Sponsorship for the fighting game community is much more important than some silly money match.
Ranma, post on Tekken Zaibatsu on that issue too to back me up there please and in the Houston forum on both SRK and TZ.
cool man if u dont mind i wouldnt mind getting one of those 4 spots
Backing out of money matches really doesn’t improve the community in any way. If they are so silly, maybe you shouldn’t have arranged them/pissed ppl off in the first place.
Look man, I would agree with you on that statement (because of what I did to Dark Geese at regionals) if there weren’t possible issues with sponsors in Texas Showdown 6, I can always do the money matches some other time like at TrashDay III or something. Seriously, I just don’t want John in trouble and I don’t want him to say that I contributed to him losing his sponsors either. Tekken in Texas is coming up this June so if anything I’ll settle them there since sponsorship should be less of an issue there. Even Ranma said something about the whole money match issue and sponsors so why the hell are putting this against me, I’m listening to him because him and John are the ones running this tournament. Have your own big tournament with your own rules and then talk about me backing out of money matches :arazz: .
Its not set in stone yet. Gotta get the days off first!
Yo, power-dn, I have another person coming with me so make it +2.
Almost here!
Ok, with TS6 just around the corner, I’m gonna start putting together the carpool list.

See you guys soon!
Participating in money matches really doesnt improve the community in any way. Alot more ppl would be mad if we kept allowing money matches to keep going on and lost sponsorship. Thats why I am cancelling all my money matches. If ne1 has a problem with me cancelling a money match just holla @ me in person. Im sure that we can work something out.
What he said. Although I do think MM get really hype matches… but yea… what he said. :wonder:
i wish everyone the best of luck at texas showdown 6!
i hope my favorite to win #R, Alex G., …wins #R! =]!
The poonster is officially committed to being there and being awesome.
EDIT: I think Kensou is saying keep the smacktalk out of here. Money matches are fine, this just isn’t the place to be talking crap about them and making people angry.
