that kind of sucks they should have finals on cabinet
Is this firm enough I can by my own plane tickets, and tell my dad to be flying in from Iraq for that weekend?
Sounds like a good time again. This year I’ll be bringing up some SA folks. Looking forward to some good games again.
Fuck, Slash is hitting consoles on April 2006 :sad:
Ranma, when is the Texas Showdown website going to be updated?
a Little help!
What is a good hotel that out of towners can stay at thats near UH campus?
American sticks = no thanx
Fubarduck please come on out…I’d love to play you in Sam Sho Tenka come March…=)
there is a hilton hotel on the UH campus itself, run by the hotel management students/profs etc. Cant give you prices, but has to be cheaper than normal.
yay suggestions

i like the idea of having registered cell phone numbers, tv’s labelled and pool lists posted… but i dunno if its necessary. its not like we’re getting 400 entries for a single game.
If Melty Blood is ran I’ll have everything labeled out on the USB to PS2 converters for P1 and P2. I’ll have it on a 17 inch super bright CRT monitor. If anyone wants to bring a bigger one to use for it that is fine by me too.
I like the idea of having the tvs labeled for the pools I know its not a 321056740 man tourny but it does help in finding where your supposed to be. I remember last showdown I got lost a couple times looking for which tv I was supposed to be at for my pool, I think I even sat down at the wrong pool and was like wtf when am I gonna fight only to find out I was three tvs down from the one I was supposed to be at.:looney:

DemonJim: why bother! You will always be found before your matches. You are a known player. Favoritism! And, also, the pool stations were numbered before hand at TS5, but, uh, it was very hectic and MLG ran T5 last year, and you know they can’t do anything right. Where’s jop’s money! ha ha.
Um. I think Melty Blood would be fine for casuals. In fact, go nuts. But, there is no reason to have a tournament for a game that no one can play. Even if some dudes are like, “oh shit yeah I play that all the time!,” it’ll be like 5 guys. And 3 of those will drop out of the tournament because they got destroyed in casuals. And then a bunch of people will keep bothering Ranma & crew sayin’, “when are we starting the melty blood tournament! when are we wahwahwah,” and then the 3 guys play and 3rd place can’t even win his money back cuz there’s like $15 in the pot.
But, casuals, have a blast!
Like… there doesn’t need to be a tournament for everything. There’s no point. Even if there are like 200 people there, Alpha 3 is probably only going to have, AT BEST, 19 entrants. No other unpopular game will even come close. At TS…3? wasn’t there some dude from Alaska, that came JUST to play KoF2k3, and then didn’t even enter the tournament the next day? After getting rocked in casuals? That was also the only KoF tournament that ever topped 8 entrants. There were like, 14, WOAHHH.
I also agree with no cabinet finals. If the home port is as good or better, unlike A3, ST and MvC2, then console is 100000x better. You get to use your own stick! Instead of using a yuck-city perfect 360. That’s good enough reason alone!
I have a real question: are league finals still going to be held? Or, if there’s no league event prior to TS6, can the teams get their money back, while the leading teams get the remainder of the pot? And, yes, I know I’m an asshole.
Fubarduck, you will be back by then? Yes, I believe. Has my DS pouch come in yet? Gimme. I also have more Club Nintendo points if you want to buy something else before you go-go.
$3.
I would also like to add that there shouldn’t be Slash at TS5 anyway, even if it did come out this month. It’s too new. No one will be any good. Since TS is a MAJOR!!!, there’s not a lot of point to having a tournament for a game barely anyone knows how to play. I’d also say the same thing about Fist of the North Star, Chou DBZ and SSTenka (even though it’ll be 6 months old by the time TS6 rolls around, it’ll have been out on PS2 for two months, and very few people will have played the game aside from the home version). I’d say Evo should do the same thing and have #R instead of Slash, but #R was kinda boring at Evo since Eddie was pretty good. And Evo has japanese players anyway, and they don’t want to play that nonsense. TS6 should be #R’s swan song! Fuck you, martin!
$3.
I will 80% be there. I will be very busy around that time but I am going to try to arrange my ticket to arrive with ample time to be able to attend.
Club Nintendo stuff is still all MIA, I placed orders for everything and all I’ve gotten so far is a 2006 calendar for becoming a Premium Member (thanks to all our combined points!) but the ordered stuff MIGHT not get here in time before I go home, it’s a toss-up because they take forever to ship the stuff.
I hope there is an SS Tenka tournament in my honor so I can win the whole $15 pot or whatever, but if there’s not casuals will be fine too! I hope somebody learns the game -_- Suggestion: Learn Mina.
Oh I’ve known Mina since day one Fubarduck…and I will give it to Tokido…he knows his shit with her…I’ve already taken some of his stuff…hehee
But I’ve known her SINCE SSV pretty well…I’m looking forward to playing you Fubarduck!!!
How about I bring my Modded PS2 and SStenka to Ts6?? I’ll make it casuals or something?? How bout it???
I vote for SS Tenka tourney!!!
Haoh can give Mina some problems I’ve seen though…but yes a MEAN Mina is good in the right hands in Tenka OMFG…Ive seen 100 match vids now and can readily confirm that!!
Yes! All 3 of you can play! 
no use running a SST tournament when there won’t be even 8 people playing. Guaran-damn-tee-dat.
Please do, I’d love to play some casuals but like everyone says I doubt enough American players will pick up the game to hold a tournament. Anyway, it’ll give me something to do besides 3rd Strike -_-
Fubarduck you sound like me…I wanna play other games…I wnana play those games you all play hardcore in Japan but here theres just not as much competition…but I will bring it man!!!
I need to find where to gt SST at to even play it.
I will be bringing Melty Blood so at least that will be something different.
