STL Garbage VII: The Return of Garbage!

Get Hype people!!!

Aerial Rave Major II will be at the Gateway Convention Center on November 7, 2009. I’m working out the pricing with gateway right now so you’ll be hearing more about this in the next couple of days. What I’m looking at is:

[LIST]
[]9,800 square foot room
[
]16+ 32" Flat Screen CRT TVs
[]10ft projector for the finals
[
]$500 bonus pot for SF4
[]$200 Bonus Pots for HDR, T6, BB, and SSBB (This is still in the works)
[
]HELLA HYPE
[/LIST]

I’ll be setting up a website with online registration and jazz here in the next few weeks so that we can gauge interest and adjust our requirements accordingly.

The venue fee will be $20 and I’ll offer a discount if you bring a console. Please spread the word guys! I’m putting a lot of my own fight money into this and I really don’t want to come out a loser (having to pay for insurance on this thing is murder!).

Hell yeah. Let’s do it.

T6? Count me in… Hell, I’ll flyer for the damn thing, and possibly even help host T6.

@Dilly - That would be awesome! I need to make this huge!

I’ve said before I will support any local tourney that hosts a major T6 tourney. I’m going to keep my word.

Think you can have pre-flyers done and to me before August 13th? Doesn’t matter how high quality they are, I’m going to an event(non-game related) that’s liable to have over 3,000 people, and I’m sure if I put out flyers there some of them will come to check it out. People are usually between the ages of 18 and 28, so it’s the prime demographic for this kind of thing.

If not, then I guess they can get handed out next time we do our breakdance exhibitions down at the loop, those usually draw pretty good crowds.

Seriously, I got your back on this one.

!!! holy shi-

I can come up with Aerial Rave AVs for you guys if you want. Spreading the word and shit.

Hopefully T6 gets a good turn-out, considering most of STL will only have 10 days to practice before the tourney.

If anyone here has DR: Online and wants to get some warm-up in on DRO let me know. The connection should be great with all of us in the same area. Generally in local online games I can land multi-jab ISW’s, that’s good enough to consider legit practice.

Also, Kurasa, with this being a major and namco’s doing so much to help T6 in the competitive market, may I advise contacting them, or talking to markman, about them sponsoring? They did it for devastation, as well as Evo, so perhaps they’d be willing to help in some way here too. They’re going all out marketing this thing, so I wouldn’t be surprised.

Thus far they’ve been part of 4 tournaments this year, maybe more that I didn’t hear about. Worst they can do is say no, and they may even help make that pot bigger.

Sempu, that TMNT remake is hitting LIVE tomarrow at 4AM in the morning… GET HYPE

Drop some, I’ll pick one up, since Final Round is like 7 months away.

And I’m going to see if some of my homeys aside from the Smash crowd will show up for this. I’m pretty sure we’ll be picking up T6 when it releases and getting serious about it. I only hope the best player over here’s SC4 skills translate into T6 skills.

I’m expecting them to start playing some BB too, so hopefully I can get them all over here and into the competition.

I second this. I got my new one $2 cheaper than retail (which is about 40 cheaper than my first one…ebay scalpers ftl), and if you’re willing to wait a week, you can get free shipping on it.

GOOD SHIT MAN!!! This is gonna be HUGE!!!

The only SE I found within any distance of me was a PS3 one which is at:

They’ve also got a 360 TE.

Also, maybe you guys should set up a Table at Archcon to get others interested in this.

that’s actually a pretty legit idea, i dunno if i’m going to archon though since it’s got so expensive the last few years.

Jeff- good shit my dude! thats whats up.

raeli- lets get those avatars poppin son!

Excited for this, lets try to make it big. Get everything figured out and a thread up and i’ll advertise around the midwest.

Alright. I need someone to come up with a pretty tech flyer. If you can deliver, holla at me!

kurasa AT gmail DOT com

you know i can do this shit. when you need it?

So, my work needed me to come in today, which sucked. Anyone free on Wednesday or Thursday?

what’s the exact location of the tourney?

If I’m bored tomorrow, I might give it a shot in Gimp. Standard letter paper size? Smaller? Bigger?
