MORE INFO TO COME!

NEW INFO as of 9/9/09, Justin has work and “might” be able to come last minute, but there are a slew of players coming from Texas, Georgia, all over Florida, and North Carolina right now and we are working on a “special guest” to head over…

2

oh shit the cats out of the bag now. get ready for justin wong peoples. get hype!!!

for other games i say HDR, BlazBlue, T6, KOFXII, MVC2, CVS1, CVS2, Alpha 2, Alpha 3, ST, 3S

we should throw in UFC Undisputed 2009 aswell as Madden Challenge and ITG2 just to add new stuff but i know no one would agree to that.

oh and if FR plans to use CVS1 and MVC2 for tournies the two cabinets need to be fixed because the set up is not gonna cut them for tournament play. cvs1 need the buttons realigned correctly and mvc2 needs light or medium spring (current spring is very very light) and sanwa needs to go for mvc2, i already told nelson he needs to replace them with HAPP convex because sanwa buttons do not work for mvc2 they are way too sensitive.

3

Fuck Madden. Street Fighter and Madden dont mix. I vote for A2, ST, and MVC2.

4

Alpha 3 or 3rd Strike Jason for second tournament

5

Dam awesome! I’ll be there, I know I’m gonna get my ass whooped but w.e
Oh yea I vote BlazBlue :looney:

6

This is going to be a big event. Some more top players are making arangements to attend, which will be disclosed later.
I personally would like to vote for CVS2, A3 and HD Remix for side tourneys. Theres actually a good group of guys that like and play CVS2 in S FL.

Alex

7

I agree with cvs2, and 3S

8

Hey, how are we going to “get” CVS2?? I assume this has to be console, right? Not arcade for CVS2? Because we only have one CVS2 arcade unit and it’s not hooked up yet…

9

dreamcast can always be hooked up easily for cvs2.

10

Dreamcast is dead dead dead…we need to steer away from that…the game never even came out in the US on DC and not everyone has DC sticks lying around. PS2 would be a better choice.

11

wouldn’t PS2 lag like mvc2? i have a couple of DC copies. just because a couple of words are in japanese doesn’t mean it’s not an unofficial US version. 95% is English and 5% is Japanese. and as for no one having DC sticks there are PS2 to DC converters which my friend jose has one and doesn’t lag and there are enough people with MAS sticks who could share with everyone to be able to play.

and if anything i have a PS2 with 3s, mvc2, cvs2 ready to go on the Harddrive and way less loading times than a physical disc…

12

how many people roll with ps2 port sticks to be able to use a DC converter? None nowadays. everybody is using the PS3\Xbox 360 USB connector so its easy to go from PS3 to PS2.

13

let’s see i can name at least 4 people who have MAS sticks with PS2 port. Me, Jose, Black Ozzy and Manny, and i saw a couple of other dudes at FR recently who also have MAS Sticks. that’s 3 setups at least right there. if u use PS3 then u need to find PS3 with backwards compatibility and lag will still be an issue.

14

MAS sticks…wtf is that?

15

i hope ur joking … right?

in any case here ya go if u weren’t:

Wilmer: If regular TVs have to be used for it, they have to be. There will not be enough setups regardless unless someone brings a couple of TVs if that is the lag you are referring to.

The only issue on setup 2 I know right now is the converter (causing delay when I tried it last week) and people not liking the 360 sticks, but I know that is all changing on that cabinet. (Left side Up/right on the stick is a little wonky)

We can use PS2s. People still have those or I can bring one or two, but they are much more readily available than DCs.

Also, CVS2 was used at EVO for YEARS on??? PS2. Only once was it used for DC (back in 2004, I think when they first changed over to console)

Official release = the game was not released in the US. Not talking about language options or any of that. There is no CVS2 official release for the US Dreamcast. It came out in Japan.

17

i vote blazblue. cause it’s new and i’m broke.

18

BB is a no brainer since its new it’tl will draw crouds like SSB.

KoF XII and MvC.
and with MvC, DC is mandatory. No one good will play the ports plus DC Mahvel is hype. Get them custom cuhlahs and paint da bitch blue like cotten candy.

19

They should turn this thread into a poll

Ohhh shitt!!!

I have been waiting for the return of this series Jason! South Florida Challenge 1 was my very first tourney ever, and I’ve been hoping one day it’ll come back. Even though I’m in nyc these day, I’ll see what I can do to make it to this event. I’m actually currently thinking about my next film project and I might want to bring the camera to Miami for this one! :'D

It would also be dope to see the old peeps from the Flipper days! The Miami SF scene back in '01 was the shit!! Honda, Johan, Rob, Tony, Alex, Angel, Nelson, Alpha 3 Tony… maaan those were the days!
