Texas Showdown 6 Planning

damn trap that would be awsome, i dont know if i could afford it though:confused:

I know that this wonā€™t happen by a longshot but seeing that I believe that Tekken 5 will probably be the only latest Tekken out on PS2 by TX Showdown 6. I donā€™t suppose arrangements could be made to bring in either Tekken 5.1 arcade machines or Tekken 5:DR if itā€™s out in the states by then. If the entry fee to play those machines have to be a little more expensive to cover rental on those machines I wouldnā€™t mind paying it I guess. I just seem to be a little skeptical that Dark Resurrection will be out on console considering it hasnā€™t been announced on Console at this time. Other option to consider is using a Supergun Machine.

If itā€™s too much trouble to do that then thatā€™s ok. Iā€™ll settle for Tekken 5 on PS2 again

If its anywhere near what Tekken 5 machines and boards costed when it came out then its absolutely out of the question. I believe the T5 boards were in the neighborhood of 2-3k each? I seriously doubt all Tekken players would pay THAT much more just to have a more current version.

This wasnā€™t answered. Any word? Is GG gonna be eliminated altogether or is #R still gonna be there just incase Slash isnā€™t out by then?

Iā€™m pretty sure weā€™re gonna have GG in the line-up, whether itā€™s Slash or #R. But Iā€™m not Ranma so itā€™s not like my word counts.

It will be either Reload or Slash depending on the console release for Slash.

MLG just dropped Tekken 5 from their lineup, Iā€™ll have to keep you posted about their involvment with TS6, right now its up in the air.

Ok, as of now, Iā€™m still waiting on T-shirt designs, I need those to be submitted by December 1. Donā€™t worry about format for now, just make your design and send it to me at Ranma0005@gmail.com

Iā€™m also looking for people to design tags for me, they should be scaled to 4(h) x 3(w), designs will be for MvC2, CvS2, 3rd Strike, GG Slash, Alpha 3, ST, Tekken 5/DR, Halo 2*, DDR, Smash Bros, Puzzle Fighter*, Madden*, KOF*, Soul Calibur 3.

*Note - Game may or may not actually be on the TS6 roster, but just in case it is, Iā€™d like a design for it.

I need ALL designs submitted before December 1st for consideration.

The oneā€™s I sent you where 4x6 so just resize them.

i dont understand ts5 dvd bundlesā€¦ cant i just buy the dvd with 3s by itself?

anywaysā€¦ any japanese players coming this year?

Q1: Nope
Q2: As far as I know, talks are still ongoing and nobody has been confirmed yet.

If weā€™re paying 20 bucks to enter the tournament I donā€™t see why we canā€™t have the latest version of Tekken 5 whether it be 5.1 or Dark Resurrection. Maybe you should take a poll and get everyoneā€™s opinion on this. I wouldnā€™t mind to pay a little more if you can get some rental machines. If not could you guys make a entry fee a little cheaper then, I mean all the other games to enter is around 10 bucks or so.

$20 registration fee is what everybody pays to get in the door, its not just a Tekken fee.

If you mean the tournament entry fee, that was set at $20 because MLG set it that way. If weā€™re not teamed up with MLG this time, then Tekken 5 will be set at a $10 tournament entry fee.

Cabinets on general cost upwards of $200-300 a day per machine from most arcades. Cmutt and Stargate arcade does not own nor are they planning to purchase a Tekken 5, 5.1, or DR cabinet. In order for a tournament to run smoothly and efficiently Iā€™d need at least 2-3 cabinets if thats the case. Weā€™re looking at a cost of at least $600 per cabinet for the whole tournament. But those costs were quoted for older fighting games. A new cabinet with all the bells and whistles, from an arcade that will more than likely charge me for how much that cabinet could make on a weekend, could easily charge upwards of $500 a day. And unless people are happy with a long ass tournament run on 1 cabinet, that wonā€™t work.

MvC2 gets about as many entries as Tekken 5 and still needed 4 cabinets just to barely finish in one day. If I took those numbers into account, weā€™re looking at $2000 a day just for Tekken:DR To me its just not worth it. Are you suggesting we take from the Tekken pot to fund for the cabinets? I donā€™t need to take a poll on that, I can almost assure you that gets voted down. We had about 66 people for Tekken 5 at Showdown last year. With the $20 Iā€™m charging this year for registration, that would come out to $1320. That would almost pay for one cabinet for 3 days. And it would probably take at least that long to finish a tournament like that on one cabinet.

The only reason I can even afford to have cabinets at Showdown is because of Cmutt and Stargate arcade. Tilt, Texas Amusement, and Shockwave all quoted me astronomical prices just for rental last time I asked them about it.

The registration fee Iā€™m charging is more to cover costs of ALL equipment, not just cabinets for certain games, it also covers expenses for the tournament and the venue cost. Last year was a luxury for us because MLG helped out with the cost. This year if that doesnā€™t happen, then I have to make due with what I have. Sorry if Iā€™m ranting on you, but this has been an issue thats come up before. Last year was the FIRST time Tekken had any kind of showing at Texas Showdown. Iā€™ve already committed plans for the tournament to be mostly console except for certain games. So unless Tekken 5.1 or Tekken 5:DR comes out on console earlier than expected, they will not be in the lineup for Texas Showdown 6.
