Its a shame Battle Royale isn’t going to be a thing this year since there’s apparently no more console tournaments. I was looking forward to its grand return to form.

There’ll probably just be something else that gets set up or whatever, if I had to guess.

You and your hasty conclusions. Best to ask Bruce, the man who said he’d be running console games there.

Bruce said several times at gonq that battle royale was (effectively for us) canceled. You were too busy playing that marvel crack to hear him =P

Okay, now I need to hear the story. What happened? Can we just hold a tournament upstairs on the same day?

Nah, I think Bruce said the rooms were booked that day.

We could set something up, but not on the same day.

If Bruce can book the big room sometime in the future we could have a nice $5 or $10 entry SF tourney. We had 21 people in our bracket this Thursday, would be nice if we could get that many for a legit tourney.

I think Bruce was talking about doing something mid-November?

Here’s the scoop. Battle Royale couldn’t get any venue for consoles. I tried to score the Commons for them, but the entire Commons is booked by a Bodybuilding competition. I’m aiming to do a big tournament in Mid-November.

I was thinking of charging venue so that I could host Smash, Capcom and Anime at the same time, as I don’t have enough time to run multiple weekends (And I HAVE to be present, as per the stupid SA rules). The venue fee would get us the entire Commons for the day, including downstairs. Fancy-pants high-rollers.

Also, no Gonq this week. Whole commons is closed.

Battle Royale was an abomination.

What weekend are you planning that for Bruce? I might try to come back for it

edit: sorry just saw mid november. I’ll see a little closer to then, dont have much time for games in toronto

anyone looking for a xbox 360 stick?

how much?

I’m also slightly curious if it’s cheap. Especially since isn’t it like 2 or 3 times cheaper/easier to get a 360 stick dual modded than to get a PS3 one?

130

yeah, i also have a pc/ps3 (sealed) pcb for sell if i can manage to sell my stick.

Hm, almost makes me figure I should just do what I was going to do a year or two ago, get a Qanba, and wait for things to come out to get it to be PS4 compatible or something.

Just wanted to remind everyone that Gonq is cancelled tonight in case you didn’t fully read Bruce’s post about Battle Royale. :slight_smile:

:’(

Thursdays just aren’t the same without Gonq
