*DUDE, DO YOU NOT READ?! PM THE GUY ABOUT THE DETAILS!! DO NOT MENTION MM’S IN THIS THREAD ANYMORE!!! (Ranma0005)

4 more days until Texas Showdown 6, time to get hype!

Below is the Official Tx Showdown 6 poster! It will be given out to some of the winners and for sale for $15 at the event.

Hey Ranma is there anyway to check who is signed for for what game ont he site?? I wanna get an idea who is playing what…(if possible esp for NGBC and Tenka)

And I hope and PRAY Tenka And NGBC get on the DVD…crosses fingers

Off hand the numbers aren’t impressive for either, but Tenka has a decent number whereas NGBC doesn’t come close.

Both games should have the grand finals on the DVD.

My flight gets in at 11am on Friday, I’ll have 2 other MD heads with me. Can anyone give us 3 a ride?

We haven’t managed to snag a room yet, I hope there’s still availiable rooms somewhere. :confused:

Which airport are you flying into?

HOU airport, sorry.

The issue right now is mostly getting to/from the arcade, because that’s almost 20 miles from the hotel. We can just taxi/shuttle from the airport to the hotel.

Since our flight out is on Monday at 5pm, we figured we’d stop back in monday before we left, but then that’s waaay out of the way unless we have a convenient way to get from place to place, which might not be possible.

We’d just rent a car, but I don’t think any of us are over 25.

So you mean Tenka has a better turnout that NGBC? Shit I thought it was going to be the other way. I have never played Tenka :wasted:

Will KOF XI be on the DVD?

Ok, with TS6 just around the corner, I’m gonna start putting together the carpool list.

  1. If there is any mistake in the above list, please tell me ASAP.
  2. Gas money will be expected for all the carpool helpers.

See you guys soon!

So that means Tenka is at least 16/enough to hold a tourney where NGBC isnt???

I’ll be getting into IAH at 6PM, so if anybody is going to be at IAH until that point, I can drive them to the hotel then… Who’s picking up Josh?

cool!

so no ride for me yet? :sad:

BIG BEEF are we still on to share the hotel room?

Off the prelim signups here are the numbers so far:

Majors
CvS2 - 50
MvC2 - 46
GGXXR - 33
Tekken 5 - 33
3rd Strike - 72!
Tekken DR - 25

Others
ST - 26
SC3 - 26
GGXXS - 32
SST - 16

On the Bubble
Hokuto no Ken - 14*
King Of Fighters XI - 14*
Dead or Alive 4 - 14
Street Fighter Alpha 3 - 13
Neo Geo Battle Collusium - 12

  • Will happen regardless of turnout.

It looks like more than likely if the numbers hold then we’ll still hold tournaments for all the games.

I didnt realize those other side games were there other than A3. I’ll be in for NGBC and KOF XI for sure. I’ll have to register when I get there on Friday.
Hey I need partner for 3S. I play Elena!

Chris I will probably do the same thing FlashMetroid did and re-register; I put myself down for 3S and DoA4 but will drop DoA4 for sure.

For everybody who are expecting to make Sunday’s finals(probably most of you):

There will be a walkdown similar to last years Sunday Final at TS5, difference being we will have music during the walkdown. If you have a specific song you want for your walkdown, either bring it with you in digital format(MP3), or send it to me. If you don’t, then you have to pick from whatever we got.

EDIT: nvm
