Anyone else wanna bet that CvS?
This is all if I show, of course.

Gettin there late but I should be there in time to sign up for 3S Singles.

(physical form)
Is that right? Don’t forget, I will be at MWC. Don’t have me make you drop the soap…flimsy. (evil laughs)
See you all Saturday afternoon. All three games I’m entering are on Sunday, though. Can’t make it today because of work, but good luck to Team Chicago!
GL to all at Midwest this year and GL to Team East Coast for the ST event(s)!
Good luck this weekend, all ST players!
East Coast- I want to see you guys bring that KG-level intensity to this.
Thanks for the updates Gootecks!
ST Northeast vs. Midwest Most Extreme Elimination Challenge
I’m going to post this both in the MWC and results threads so that the maximum number of people can see it.
I proudly announce the first ever Northeast vs. Midwest Most Extreme Elimination Challenge event!
Time: Organization begins 3-4pm
Actual event starts 5pm
Place: Midwest Championships (duh)
Rules:
-This will be a team elimination event. Teams will decide amongst themselves the order that they will play before the event starts (this prevents counter picking) and then it will only be revealed at the time of the event.
-Elimination style, think CvS2. Player 1 plays Player A, if player one wins then he keeps playing until either he loses or all players of the opposing team are defeated.
-Matches will either be single game or best of 3. This will be determined at the event itself by a vote of the players involved.
-Every player must select 1 character they will use throughout the entire event. These will be recorded by a non-participant prior to the event’s beginning, so that there cannot be any chance of lying about who you picked to play as! No sneakiness here guys :wgrin:
-Teams MAY have more than one of the same character selected (a team can have two N.Kens for example). The reason I am allowing this is that there are many one-character specialists at MWC, and to say that only one person can select a character may actually prevent some players from performing at their best. We want this to be a true test of skill, so the gloves are off.
-NO MONEY IS INVOLVED. This is not about cash, it is about bragging rights, respect, and the love of the game. Let’s see who really IS the best!
-The PS2 to arcade cabinet converters WILL be allowed for this event, as long as they work. I will test them on Saturday morning and confirm.
But the question remains: who is on the teams?
It’s pretty simple: at 3pm on Saturday, I will see who is physically at MWC and I will make an announcement that if you feel you are good enough to participate in the event, to come see me. Please keep in mind that if you are not from the Midwest or East Coast, you are not allowed to compete (sorry Buktooth!). However, due to the fact that Jason Wilson and Sabre are the die-hard MWC staff and basically are the reason that MWC has existed forever, they WILL be allowed to participate as members of Team Midwest if they so desire. If an overabundance of people are asking to participate, final teams will be determined by a group vote. I personally would love to see a 10-on-10, and since we’ll have 2+ whole hours to do it, I don’t see why this can’t be made possible.
SO, that is the plan of action. Let’s get fucking HYPE! I think we are about to start a new MWC tradition that is going to become legendary!
Oh yeah, one more thing…
Just in case you think that some people might decide to go next to last or last to be on easy street? Well guess what: I am hereby setting a rule that if you decide to be the anchor (last person to play on your team), that the next year you are NOT allowed to be the anchor. So choose wisely!
Sounds awesome. Let’s do it! :tup:
Assuming the PS2–>arcade converter works at all, is there any way I could test it with my stick before the event starts? Since there will be no way to map button configs (unless there’s something about the converter that I’m not aware of), I’m concerned that my buttons might not match up correctly. My stick has a weird PSX PCB with odd mappings, like my MK button is input button signal 4 but my HK button is input 6.
Yes you can test it. I haven’t even used it myself so I have no way of knowing if it even works so far. We will get to the bottom of this tomorrow.
wasn’t that what they used in the mystery tournament though? for the 4 player ST at the same time.
also will those converters be used for the singles ST tournament? I wouldnt expect it for SBO since thats pure arcade, but I wanna see DSP beasting on his own joystick in an arcade setting. Not to mention other pad/custom stick players.
Yes, but they were mashing at the same time as the players on the cabinets. So how can you tell if it’s really working in that environment?
I will perform an official playtest tomorrow. And I’ll ask NKI to record it :lol:
dsp, im down for this but you should do it game newton style.
np, glad at least one person checked it out!
I’m so jealous of all you guys. I really wanted to make it to MWC, but work got busy so I wasn’t able to go.
Good luck to everyone in the ST tourney, SBO quals, and NE v.s MW matches. I hope you guys record some of this stuff. Fools like me would love to see it! 
I’m waiting on my ride right now…-_-
But yeah, I’ll be there today…hopefully, before 2PM.
