details will be explained on tuesday. darkgeese and I have a lot of events to coordinate through out the year. this tourney is definitely still happening. i am aware that time is running thin. so details are coming soon.
DG, if you just switch out BB:CT for MB:AA, I’ll be a happy man. We are waiting for Continuum Shift of BlazBlue…
Just a curious question: What time can we start coming in at Game day? Or is it somewhere obvious and I missed it? (Like on the first post.)
The schedule and list of games has been edited so please check the first page for updates. As far as time to come in I will get back to you all upon my return home, I am currently at Raging Storm El Paso right now but I will get back to you all very shortly.
-Dark Geese
I’m not sure if all of those games will fit into one day…
Here is the address of where the tournament is being held: 1330 Industrial Boulevard Minneapolis, MN, 55413
I’m interested in going…
But is it possible for someone to house me, maybe?
@_@
Thread on smashboards is up:
Since this tourney is GOING TO BE a one day event (Saturaday), I think this event should take a drastic cut in games being ran. I mean you can only fit so much in one day. I think we should cap the number of fighting games ran to 8. The following games must be had:
- SSBB singles/doubles
- SSBM singles/doubles
- SF4 (Super if out)
- Tekken 6
- 2k2 UM
rest are totally up to you guys. I’m pretty sure there’s a lot of Garou players in MN. Infact there might be more Garou players than 2k2 UM players. So I could just swap out 2k2 UM altogether (that would SUCK!!!). I kind of want to get the game list finalized by TUESDAY at the VERY latest.
Also I want to add: that Smash and SF games, being the most attended, need to start early to ensure we have enough time to get the events done. I’m thinking of starting Smash related tournaments by the usual 11AM. SF MUST start no later than 2PM at the VERY LATEST.
Anyone object to any of this?
I don’t see a big reason why we can’t do a bunch of tournaments. Did you get the PM I sent with the schedule I proposed? I didn’t take into account both a singles and doubles version of each Smash game, but I still think we can get most of the tournaments listed run. If I’m not mistaken, we should have the room pretty much all night, past midnight if needed. Granted, we won’t plan tournaments to go that late, but we have the time if we need it.
Edit: I just read the Smashboards post - what is the “WTF LAIN RULE!”?
I’ll say it right now both doubles and singles of both smash games will eat up a TON of time and resources for a one day event. At my larger tourney that I ran in November that quite a few MN heads came down to we all witnessed just how much of a beast that cannot be fed that game is. I propose only singles and more SNK games (isn’t that Raging Storm is about?). I’ll keep checking to see if SF2 gets the axe, that determines if I go or not. I fully understand this is not a Capcom event so that getting axed shouldn’t bother anyone.
I pm’ed this as well, but fuck it.
I don’t want to criticize but if the event is call Raging Storm why would you reduce the number of SNK games to 1?
i doubt i will attend if this ends up being the case… I’m not going to fly on my dime to MN to be associated with a “SNK” event with only one “SNK/Playmore” game.
Guys first and foremost please understand that Raging Storm is NO LONGER specifically associated with SNK games. SNK games are not the main focus of gaming anymore in this series. SNK games are important though. And with tradition, we’ll include them in all of our tournaments as usual.
This tournament’s series main focus is: Advertising VARIETY of fighting games. To unite that variety and bring out the best players in the area, for all the games featured at our tournaments. To participate in an event that’s fun, challenging, and most important…EXCITING!!!
Now I will be honest with you. Smash is extremely important to the series. And NO SMASH tournament, is accepted or ran (especially in their community) without including both singles/doubles format. It’s standard, and it must happen this way.
Shogun and dldelly: respond to you PM’s asap. Shogun the “WTF LAIN RULE” is the following:
Pretty standard rule, yes I know. But that player in particular struggles with it at every tourney he attends. With the smash community we poke fun at him, making a rule in his honor.
Fun times.
djjelly: what SNK games would you be participating in, if you were to show up?
Seriously, run all the games and just keep things moving fluidly. I have no doubt with the amount of time you have that you can organize a fast moving tournament.
Garou MOTW
Twinkle Star Sprites
Samurai Showdown II

I really don’t like how this is going. Raging Storm is an SNK tourney. Bottom fucking line. The focus should be on the top SNK games and the rest should be secondary. I understand that other games should be promoted as well to make this thing work and SF4 and Super Smash Brothers should be more than enough to do that. However, It’s not gonna be fuck SNK and push these and any other games on top otherwise this is just going to be another bullshit ass MNSF event. That’s what GnG and meltdown is for.
So if this is what’s going to happen then you can count me out and I’ll definitely get people on board as well. This is suppose to be an event where SNK should be promoted properly along with other games so people can have a good time. This should not be one-sided event, but I already seen this coming anyway so my opinion is that if there can’t be a reasonable agreement where everyone is happy then you should either fucking cancel Raging Storm or change the name because this will be wasting Dark Geese’s and other SNK head’s time and money.
Garou is a must! I didn’t learn to be a better scrub at that game for no reason!! I also like HDR or ST! DO IT!
Like I said.
Well I see where you are coming from, but you need to remember that the Raging Storm Series turned over a new leaf after Devastation LAST YEAR. What we been doing has been agreed upon and carried out MONTHS AGO. The Elpaso tourney and the Winthrop Harbor tourney were had. And because of the inclusion of all the fighting games ran, the event went really well. If we focused on just SNK games our numbers for the events would be pitiful.
Remember SNK is SLACKING IN THE STATES!!!
And I am telling you that Raging Storm is NOT JUST AN SNK TOURNEY…anymore.
This event is NOT one-sided whatsoever.
And purposely trying to win people over to NOT ATTEND THIS EVENT, won’t solve anything and would actually hurt the scene greatly. Nobody wins.
And FYI I am currently trying to make the schedule of this event appeal to all potential participants.
If that is the case, then why is it still called Raging Storm? Should it be called WOMBO COMBO?
Yeah, I’m kinda disappointed that a lot of the SNK games that was previous featured are getting cut down, even some of the non-SNK ones (Guilty Gear, MB, 3S). I’m training hard in a bunch a games that have the possibility of not being run or either available…Very disappointing…
Well the tournament game list isn’t finalized. I hope it can be by tuesday. T.Os are discussing details. 3S and MBAA are looking likely Desmond.
LOL @ WOMBO COMBO!!! :lol:
