Showdown Championships 2008 - Houston, Tx, March 21-23

Oh its ok, i thought ryan was gonna team with hsiend and mark again

anyway, see you on the tourney then.
Later

Of course! We’re shooting for next Chinese New Year’s so we can hand it to you in lycee!

Actually the secret interviews are being held in… wait a minute, you almost got me to tell. Shame on you Logan, you’re not from Houston so I can’t tell you.

As far as I know, Emotiongear has been in contact with BAS about the issue’s regarding their payments. US players were all paid, and prizes will be paid out at the tournament this year.

Then you should hurry, sober up and start posting!

Nobody is banned.

I wish Lay fed me, I hardly ate at all that weekend.

2007 was a first time thing where we tried a new format, things happen, but thanks for coming out to support us last year.

Bronson wasn’t banned, did you not see him onstage? Nor was Buktooth banned from anything. Him getting paid late was miscommunication . I thought everybody was paid, when I contacted Buk close to Evo and heard he hadn’t been paid yet I arranged to bring him the money at the event. If I had known about it sooner I would have tried to get him the money sooner.

As I stated before, Emotiongear is in contact with BAS about that issue, and ST players were refunded at the tournament, I know that cause I handed the refunds out.

Battle Fantasia is a horrible game that nobody wants to play.

Revisiting Texas Showdown 5… Lets see who my sponsors and partners were for that tournament.

  1. Main sponsor(people who paid for most of the venue and brought most of the equipment) - Major League Gaming.

Although our event went well and without a hitch, unfortunately we know how it ended up when MLG partnered up with Evo. Thus they wanted nothing more to do with fighting games and I had no sponsor and attempted to pay for almost everything in 06, and led me to going with outside sources for last year and this years event.

  1. Stargate

Regardless of what the current trend is in the US, I still think events should be either on arcade cabinets or setup as close to one as possible. That was of course crippled immensely once Stargate closed its doors. Nobody to blame for that really but the players. It was an arcade that catered to the players, so if that fails, who else is there to blame?

Everybody can say or think whatever they want, if you want to go, then go and have fun. If not, then stay at home and have fun. I don’t care. Bringing up the past tournament you enjoyed is nice to reminisce once in a while, but theres really no need to try and compare. Maybe you should go and support events for the sake of going, when was the last tournament you even went to that wasn’t in Dallas or Evo?

I already plan on doing that.

Too bad they at least had the smarts to ban Bridge of Eldin. :frowning:

ACCEPT MY MONEY MATCH ALREADY!!!

Damn… I wanna make some free money playing people Brawl already, jeez!!

Yup, been done with them for awhile now, but we want to do a huge test before posting. Unfortunately, this Sat is a big day (we got like four freakin’ Brawl tournaments we gotta go rape at and it’s taking up a lot of our time getting it planned out.) We’ll post the 2v2 rule set on Sun. or Mon.

The players? Sorry no, the players were all there. At least I was, A LOT. I can’t count how many times I turned down pussy to go to SG. Yes it was tired, old pussy that I as already getting bored of, but it was pussy non-the-less.

Blame the closing of SG on the lack of new players. I can’t count the new faces at PZ and that’s the reason those doors stay open. That’s what a business needs. I mean, how long can hardcore players keep a business afloat on their own? Not long, case in point: SG. No ones fault, just people get older, get lives, etc.

Anyways, I’m still up in the air about this tourny. Lack of funds at the moment are a big contributor, but we’ll see. I always go to a Ranma tourny, but last year left a bad taste in my mouth.

We’ll see.

Can someone pay for my tourny fees? I’ll team up with ya! X) See PZ weekly results thread for my pwnage ranking. X)

this is coming from a “i want to see my friends get paid” angle, rather than a “i want to slander PZ” angle, but if emotiongear told you that he is straight up lying

i just talked to several japanese people this morning, none of them have heard a peep from emotiongear in quite a while. since before his december japan trip (where he dodged out on everybody) in fact

that niggas a hustla, his way of business is the way of the streetz.

and in the streetz, everybody gets shot!

Gigaton punch, gigaton punch

lol. You have no business whatsoever in this discussion. Bas has all my contact info and can get a hold of me anytime. He is also aware of when im in Japan, and what my tentative schedule is.
Now before I tell you to gtfo out this thread, let me explain a few things. I take responsibilities for the delays, its simply has to do with how a company documents prize money to overseas locations. If this was a one time deal, I can simply work the system. However this is going to be an annual thing and the chances of foreign participants ending up with prize money is very likely. I have no choice but to make sure that we have every detail taken care of before I get this company or any of my sponsors in trouble. I also have to make it simple for the companies who are sponsoring cash prizes so i dont have delays or problems in the future. Capiche?
I’ll have all this taken care of soon, and we’ll make it up to everyone who was patient enough to wait. :lovin:

FAGGOT

OMG YOU SEE DIS? YOU SEE DIS?
GET KIM UP IN HERE

YOU SEE WHAT THIS NIGGA JUST SAID?

SAY IT AGAIN SAY IT AGAIN

DAMN SON BEFORE YOU BEGIN EXPLAINING EXPLAIN TO ME HOW YOU CAN BE SO COLD YOUR POST JUST GAVE ME FROSTBITE

So, do I have to tuck in my shirt for the interview to go to SBO?

You guys bore me with random remarks. =|.

FAGGOT :wgrin:

har, and I’m not the one outside of ECC after losing crying about how much I’m done with a game cause I suckkkkkkkkkkkkk. And then was at the next TGA tourneey…

Well, actually, nevermind, I did that when I was like 13 at Final Round one year…

Damn. Burned myself.

Or maybe you guys are in here because TGA couldn’t afford/get anymore SBO spots? …Ouch. Too soon? T_T;

I didnt know cooling off over some BS was “crying” but if you say so. I guess i copied Bas in every way. :rofl: But hey, at least i didnt fuck over my own community of gamers over. You’re really cool.
