I am practicing Old ST Zangief and Claw on pad. I need practice hitting all three punches/kicks and pulling of the old motions on the X-Box pad, and I don’t want to use HD Remix’s easier inputs. I think this is about the closest I can get to practicing my execution for the tournament as of now. If I can get SF4 early though, I will be beasting it up for a few days to prepare for Gamestop.
On a random note, Game Crazy does have TE sticks available (at least the Redmond one does) So yeah I will be getting one hopefully when they come out.
Also they are talking about having their SFIV tournament on the 12th. so maybe an early release???
I hate to derail, but I’ma be pissed if they release early and Gamestop doesn’t (since that’s where my pre-purchase has been made).
/off-topic rant
i guess i’m with ben if i can get that day off. i’m not pissed about pads cuz i use a pad in hdr, but default button scheme? lame :arazz:
shit i will go buy one form gamecrazy and then go and sell that shit to gamestop on their release
Any day after that 10th, I would start calling your local gamecrazy to see if its in.
Gamestop hasn’t even started advertising for their tournaments yet at their stores. They don’t even have the materials.
I went to sign up and the guy whipped out a peice of computer paper and wrote “Tournament” at the top and I put my name and phone # down.
I think I’ll try to make it to the Redmond Town Center. (tentative)
Someone gimme a location to capture
Pickering Square

Go to it. If you want it. It’s not too far from you, and you can hit up XXX after. Plus, you can get familiar with the route for when you make it to Round 2.
My friend is the store manager of the Lakewood Towne Center store. Last night he told me that he’s gonna have sticks there to use. He actually told me about this tourney without me saying anything to him about it. He says I have to go to that location as people that go to Narrows go there talking about the MNF crew all the time =/. Dunno if I could make it that far though heh.
One thing he did mention to me, is that the Bridgeport store (which is by McChord AFB) is a location for round two. Just a heads up for people in that area.
Sign me up for Kent Station plz Keith.
Added info about sticks for that store.
Odd thing about the Bridgeport store being a site for Round 2. Gamestop does not list it as one of the venues hosting Round 2.
Done
Keith, put me down for,

I am the only person signed up at the at store as of now.
The Redmond Bear Creek GameStop doesn’t have the sign-up sheets yet - they’ll be in Thursday or Monday supposedly. Sticks are supposed to be in stock on the 17th.
Lol I love how united and on the ball Team Seattle is. Good fuckin job everyone. So I will be COMPLETELY DOMINATING Bellevue Square GS. Lol Im first one to sign up and it doesnt look like there will be many people going there.
Listen up people. We need to be taking this shit seriously. If it is anything like the Smash Bros tourney they ran, all we need to do is make it to around round 4 and they switch it up and allow sticks and what not. During finals it will be either on arcade or they will definitely let people use sticks.
Remember, top 16 get BUMPED to SEMI FINALS AT EVO!!! This is NO JOKE peoples, we NEED to claim some of those spots. So I hope everyone will be playing there hardest.
I definitely plan on making it to the top 16. This is my main goal, i dont even give a shit about that cabinet, that will be a bonus. All that matters is EVO!!
This will be the only game allowing people to skip past qualifiers. So lets take this serious folks. Extreme practice BEGINS ON the 17th!!!

GO TEAM SEATTLE!!!
It seems like you were potentially misinterpreting the guidelines, so I wanted to clarify. The top 16 do get EVO seeds. But only one of those 16 will come from the NW. As the rules clearly state, there will be 16 tournaments held for round 3 in the country. The 300 Andover Park West #100 store in Tukwila will be hosting it for Washington State. Since there are no other round 3 venues in WA, OR, or ID, we can assume that all of the top finishers from round 2 in these 3 states (and possibly some from Montana as well) will be vying for an EVO spot at this location come March 14th.
So unless some of us have cash to burn on multiple round trip flights in order to attend tournaments in other regions, we’ll only be getting one of the Gamespot seeds.
Also, if you don’t give a shit about the cabinet, feel free to give it to me if you win.
Ahhh thank you for correcting me DoughBoy. Well let me re-phrase. Everyone should be trying their hardest to be the representative of NW region. Im going for the win, but I hope everyone else is playing as hard. Yes, only one of us will move on. But Still, play your hardest everyone. Its a very good opportunity. Dont give it to me for free =P

Hows it goin? Been a long time. I’m looking to enter, but never played SF4. Too lazy to even go to Gameworks. So Strong foundation but no experience.
I take it this is single elimination than? Personally I’d like to play more people but I understand there will be time issues.
No more Issaquah for me!
