WINNERS FOR ROUND 3
please post up with your name and the city you played in. I will be updating this thread for both Rounds 2, and 3 so lets go!
my experience; About 12 people showed up to my local GameStop in Sacramento. There was about 2 players I was worried about but I was able to get past them and advance. The store gave out some pretty cool stuff during the tourney. They had Mountain Dew and some chips. As a prize to the winner I got a card that showed that I advanced to Round 2 and a yellow headband as well as two black SF IV wristbands. The store was even nice enough to give me a Street fighter the legend of Chun Li movie poster. Some cool stuff!!!
Good shit to Jackson for winning Sloat Gamestop tourney, good going eliminating me in the first round:crybaby::crybaby::crybaby:
And now my gripes:
-No sticks, instead we get 360 dpads. Meanwhile Powell St Gamestop got sticks, what the fuck?
-Poorly managed brackets, when someone you’ve called TWICE doesn’t show up and misses his first round, you count that as a LOSS. If he shows up a half hour later with a sob story, YOU DON’T GIVE HIM A DIRECT SEED 3RD ROUND FOR DOING NOTHING BUT SHOWING UP LATE.
Also the brackets has some crazy holes in it, about more than half of the people who signed up didn’t show. I think at that point you just have to redo them, which wouldn’t have taken very long.
The positives:
-I got to wear my awesome Team SF shirt
-I was drunk
I got headband and wristbands but no card. About 16 people who entered. One person cried after he was eliminated. Best out of 5 rounds single elimination. Using the Dpad for the tourney was interesting. I had to figure out which triggers is HK and HP in the middle of my first match. There’s no button for PPP or KKK, so pulling an ultra is kinda hard.
Aj (Truaj) bakersfield,Ca
I also got a headband and wristband…they also gave me the huge bracket…
some dood flipped out cuz @ da last min they switch from ps3 to 360…i was a lil bummed 360 pad suxs but i came thru…GOOD job to all who qualifyed
To add to the list: Sadao (Ghostbuster) won in Dixon, and Roman won in Sunnyvale. More Fairfield cats.
LOL sounds like some GS employee got off with 1 headband and wristband pack, because everyone I talked to had 2 winners and both got a headband and wristbands.
Tournament overall was super random there were 38 sign ups, and 13 people signed up. So they had some people (me included) play for spots on the 8 man bracket they were doing (WTF). So I qualified, and won all my matches to advance. Then they run the other bracket to see that winner, and when they get to the finals some employee was like “Its gonna be 3/5 now since 1 set can be random. We need a real winner”.
Then at the end they made me play against the other bracket winner “for fun” (I pwned). 5 mins later I saw the other guy who advanced walking out of Panda Express wearing his yellow head band and wrist bands. I lol’d
