T12: Toronto Fighting Game Championships - SSFIV and MvC3 (+$500), MK, BB, Tekken, SCIV and 3S

it is tough to decide between heero and juaaaaan, but then again, heero disappointed us last year.

very nice old man hidey!!!

Chris G is trying to raise money to come T12 (info can be found in his twitter NyChrisG). This event is beginning to have mad hype. Can’t wait for this!

Looking forward to attending :smiley:

just wondering, is this guaranteed to apply even to the smaller games that could usually finish in one day?

Nothing is decided yet on that end. Plans are Top 4 for smaller games. Top 8 for the big ones.
All in all, Top players will go to Sundays events. This is not set in stone so things could change.

If you’re in top 4. you kind of want to be there Sunday to play and collect your cash. Most of the side tournaments have 200 dollar pot bonuses. That alone should justify the top 4 players showing up the next day.

Won’t this detract from people actually WATCHING Top 8 and kinda kill the hype?

I agree; may I suggest for teams to start on Sat and have top 3-4 teams battle it out on Sunday?
If we start teams finals first thing on Sunday it can easily finish before the top 8 of main attractions. (not trying to imply MK/BB/Tekken/SC are irrelevant btw)

Cramming everything on Saturday is the problem.
We’ll fortify this schedule thing and take your suggestions. Appreciate the inputs.
We should have something concrete soon.

Last few US Majors i went to, Team tournaments for Major games (4, MVC3) ran early on Sunday during the Top 8 of side tournaments. There were no team tournaments for any of the side games. That way 4 and MVC3 players got to play teams if they wanted and didnt’ miss top 8 of 4 and MVC3.

Any estimates on when registration will begin on Saturday? Trying to decide with the Windsor crew if we want to grab a hotel for two nights or one. 3-4 hour drive from Windsor so if it starts too early we pretty much need a hotel on Friday.

So how strict is that schedule gonna be??

Our scene is the most notorious for loafting and having teams on sunday doesnt smell like a good idea.

Make it strict. I don’t like waiting on people in tournaments. It’s not fair for those who shows up on time.

The door will probably be opens at 10-11a and we can take down registrations during that time.

Ah yes, the community is pretty bad when it comes to being late and disappearing. The ban hammer will be on hand in the festivities.

can’t wait this is gonna b hype:D

So is 3S gonna be singles or teams or both?

May I be able to come along as well? I will pay my share for gas and hotel stuff, by the way.

Also: Before anyone gives a smartass comment, and so I don’t need to borrow anyone’s gear. I’m ordering up a stick from Night Raven (L-Series model type with PS3-360 dual modding), so I won’t have any problems using converters like what happened with me last time.

No teams for for 3S, just singles.

I’m trying to get some discounts on hotels but because it’s a week after TIFF, they say that the prices are still higher than normal.

Here are other hotels you guys can check out:
Jarvis Bed and Breakfast
Alans Garden Bed and Breakfast
Dundas Square Hotel

As of right now the car is full. I’ll let you know if anything changes.
