The Raging Storm 2009 Planning Thread: PHX: June 19-21st, 2009

LOL. :rofl: :rofl:

Kay, though I need another character to bear the XI logo instead (plus u’re using the XI char art so I assumed otherwise)

Ill do the athena one tonite, along with some tekken ones and any other requests i get my way, just give me some time. The reason why i put the logos in the background is so that people kno what games are going to be at the convention (like mine has XII cause XII is at the major lol)

Guys and believe me he’s taking care of us so we gotta take care of him…I’m gonna do my best to make sure this guy is in El Paso…and he’s gonna get his interview on the DVD like the other staff members…

I also just thought of something…

What happens if I am the qualifier??? (For these tournaments in the various locations its VERY LIKELY) :confused:

-DG

Personally I think the top 3 should qualify for high ranks, the others can come too but they stop at the bottom, plus since ull be at many of them, once u qualify, drop a match at the quarter so we get different people, some ideas.

are you doing it? i want to try my rusty KOF game :rofl: been a while since i lost interested with all this multigames arcade and NOBODY aside from some friends plays that without free supers,etc… kind of need some motivation, if so count me in for Austin.

Okay gotcha…then I’ll make it top three qualify…

Because I mean…I’ll be at most of these so obviously it’s a high chance of me qualifying…:rofl:

And what happens if I qualify in different regions? Like Say the MidWest/North East/East Coast Qualifier?

I guess that means I’ll be repping all three areas lol.

Arthur- I’m waiting on word back from Fubar…as soon as I get word I’ll let you know.

-DG

If I had cash, I’d go to Phenoix and El Paso, DG, but I won’t that’s the thing. I think that I would barley make enough to go to El Paso and do my invasion tournament.

I think its only fair that once u get rep from one area, u either stay out of the other qualifiers or quit at the quarter finals that way we dun get an odd number

Well you are gonna have more than one option…for now I’d say just stick to El Paso…its gonna be the US Granddaddy anywayz.

The way it’s looking now this is possible for this year in regards to Quals:

  1. Phoenix (West Coast)
  2. Chicago (Midwest)
  3. Austin (South Coast)

Okay thats what I was wondering…because knowing me thats something HIGHLY LIKELY that I could pull off…so If I am the qualifier for one tournament I’ll stay out of tournaments for the other games at the other Qualifiers and play the winner at the end or something for fun if I qualify at that particular game…(or if they wanna play me lol)

So then if you dont get top three at a particular Qualifier feel free to enter the tournaments at other locations until you do!

If you do get top three then do NOT enter the tournaments at other locations…

-DG

In effort to lure even more Japanese and Mexicans to El Paso…this is what I am posting up…

Team KOF 2002 Neo Geo Exhibition:

Team Mexico vs. Team Japan!!!

$500 Bonus pot for the winner team!!! Lets make this happen!!! (If I can give out a GRAND I WILL!!!)

Spread the news!!! If at all possible I wanna turn this into an annual event!!!

Are you thinking of making MWC your Raging Storm North? Or a separate event? Either way I’m there, and I know of lots of SNK fans in the midwest that will be also.

N/M

Chicago is mideast no?, i assume ur refering to Anime Central as i was just talking to cactusmomma on that. with the May Date, its far enough to fit in the other regionals, and its a pretty good location, what say u

Yeah thats what I am thinking about doing…Jason said I could do it so that’s something I am considering.

With all the bonus pots and stuff thoguh thats what is gonna determine whether I make it this time or not.

Hmmm actually yeah you are right about the May date also ACEN what Cactusmomma was talking about…I’ll consider that too.

-DG

So you are really doing this July 19-20? Thats a sunday and a monday, not to mention is going to turn out to be a really bad date for you.

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/tournaments/sf4/sf4tourney_rules.aspx

I seriously doubt that EVO’s date would be moved up just out of spite. And if it is the 17-19th, then Wiz has no class to allow a potential tournament scene to flurish, and that is the bottom line.

Thats not exactly a classy thing to say man, I wouldnt go there either…especially not on this site which youre using to promote your event…I would tal to Wiz before you jump to hose kind of conclusions…ESPECIALLY considering that the Gamestop tourney just got leaked and they leaked the Evo date on the Gamestop site…which they have prbably been planning months in advance…sooo yeah… :sweat:

Not really flaming you at all, but I think you should be using a little discretion here…

That maybe true, but they should have taken into account the fact that SNK is slowly gaining ground in the US and forcing players to make a choice between EVO and Raging Storm stinks of conspericy. The timing of the date announcement for EVO stinks, that’s all.

EVO date was known weeks ago, just wasn’t posted yet.

Really? Where is the announcement?
