Yeah, I think myself and maybe 2-4 other people will be coming from Shreveport Bossier, mainly for SFIV and MK9. There’s probably another group coming from the area too - I don’t even know anymore, haha.
But anyhow, where is everyone staying/any recommendation on where we should stay? Also, did someone say after party? YES.
After-party AT THE VENUE! WHOOOO! haha
We’re trying to find housing for as many people as we can, but it’s going to be hard. You say you play MK9? I might know someone who has a really nice hotel room if you guys want to pitch in and share it with him. I believe it’s a suite and they’re gonna have a few setups in there. I’ll see if I can get him in here to get in contact with you if you’re interested.
Haha, indubitably.
Yeah, I figured it would be hard to get housing for everyone, and it’s cool if we have to stay at a hotel/motel. I just didn’t know if everyone normally stays at a certain hotel for A.R.K., is all. Anyhow, I actually don’t really play much MK9, but one of best friends that’s coming with me plays it as his main game, for the most part. The rest of us primarily play SFIV and 3S like good muggles should, haha. But yeah, I’ll ask him and see if he’d want to do that. Otherwise, is there any other option?
There’s not a specific hotel that everyone’s staying at for ARK since we try to house everyone that comes. This tournament has blown up so now we’re just making sure we can house as many as possible. There’s a list of hotels/motels within 1 mile of the venue in the OP (towards the bottom of the first post) but they’re in Jacksonville. I recommend getting a hotel in Little Rock (where most of us are from) because they’re much higher quality and probably the same price or maybe cheaper. It’s about a ~20 minute drive from Little Rock to the venue so factor that into your math. I imagine the price on the suite would be pretty reasonable if you guys wanted to check up on that and like I said, there would be casuals there.
Alright, sounds good. I’ll have a definite number of those coming with me in the next few days, and I’ll see what they want to do.
If anyone is interested I have some floor space possibly a bed at The Peabody hotel in Little Rock. If your interested gimme a ring at 501-276-five91three. Its in the middle of downtown little rock where most of the nightlife is. I will have a few rooms for Friday and Sat night and we will have a couple setups. Its a pretty upscale hotel so please mature gamers only. (is that an oxymoron?) I only ask you throw in what you can for $.
This is the guy I was talking about.
Memphis will try to come to this.
Also, how do you get a t-shirt?
Awesome. Memphis usually brings a few cars to our tournies. If you want a shirt, let me know your size(s) and I’ll reserve it for you.
EDIT: Oh I forgot. Here’s another interesting idea we’re doing:
We will have a big can of Axe at the registration table. If you STINK (and noone’s going to call you out), please feel free to use the deodorant. This’ll be better for all of us, trust me.
You can confirm me for this tourney. Its going 2 be HYPE!!!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhh! I knew that Axe policy would get people coming lol. That’s what I like to see Nashfan. And when you get here, I want to talk to you about why you put Blanka/Chun at like 7-3 or whatever it says on your blog lol.
lol.k.see ya there
oh snap Bang vs Tsubaki runback. Not gonna be much different.
Hi all,
My friend and I are flying into LIT airport on Friday night (arrival time is 9:50 PM). Is there anyone who can help us with transportation, and/or looking to split housing/hotel?
Are you the same guys from the Smash thread that I talked to yesterday or a different crew? What’re your main games? Best bet with housing right now looks to be Seel’s room if he still has space available. I can see if we have room but I have a lot of people requesting housing so it might be best to find someone else that’ll split a room for you. If you play Smash, I think the Smashers have room.
Hey, haha yeah, I just found out he had something set up over on smashboards. We should be entering mvc3 and melee. He supposedly has everything coordinated. Thanks for the response.
Hey Max, add Supwichu vs Ruty AE MM FT3 $10.
