No MvC2. :sad:
no mvc2?? no ggxx?? this is gonna eliminate so many players that have participated in past UB’s… I have the utmost confidence you guys can still create an awesome event, but im not too thrilled on this sudden change :tdown:
October 16th, that’s a Saturday right? I’ll see if I can swap a day @ work, but I think I might have to take that day off anyway, because I’m getting my wisdom teeth pulled out. Well anyway, I’ll let you know at least a week in advance.
chicken, what’s the reason for cutting out games? Did I miss something, or will the cvs2 and 3s parts of the tournament run as usual?
I’m kind of let down by the reduction of games as well. What made UBR so fun was the amount of people playing because of the various number of games being played. Making it only 2 games I agree saves time and probably hassle but makes it much less exciting as well.
agreed.
How about this–try to arrange your teams for MvC2/GGXX ahead of time. Send me a list of players/alternates by SUNDAY (10/3). I thought about cutting down the number of games because MvC2 participation was getting weaker and too many people were moving on to #Reload. However, the numbers won’t lie. Get teams organized for either of the games by Sunday. If there are more than two schools per game (Berkeley is always down, of course), I’ll put those games back in the line-up!
Edit: And make sure you name people who can show up 100%. Certain person(s) not showing up last semester made things difficult and not worth it.
Another quick addendum, for those who were wondering:
I’m not putting Soul Calibur 2 in this semester’s University Battle (this is a final decision) because the condition of the BEARcade SC2 machine has been very unstable lately. Hell, we don’t even have SC2 in a cabinet right now because it’s shaky, and even if we did, it would probably turn off every 6 minutes.
ggxx/mvc2? teams? yes? no? confirm? hurry plz?
Just stop worrying about this univ battle business and finish my video binh/bihn.
Someone wrote me an email at BIHNKIM@berkeley.edu, but called me Dihn.
People…
Don’t worry LB, I’ll be discussing Berkeley teams with the proper people.
Ok Bihn, seriously nobody gives a shit about University Battle anymore.
The first few times were really fun to compete for schools and what not. But now many of the players (mostly myself perhaps) could care less about competing. I just wanna come down to Berkeley and play games.
It used to be a big thing to us and we would train for UB and hold tournies for teams. But now it’s like, “Oh yeah, that University battle thing. Who actually wants to go?”
I might even just skip out on tournament play and just play casual. Especially if CVS2 and 3S are the only competing games. So don’t take this thing too seriously if no one cares.
I’m just going with the flow.
SJSU is planning on attending
Sounds good. 
Last call for MVC2/GGXX, guys.
i propose initial d tourney for university battle.
3on3 or 4on4.
first map on akagi or happ since they are most ‘fair’ or just pick one randomly. flip coins for track conditions.
winner stays. losing team chooses next map, winning team chooses weather condiitons? or losing team chooses both?
boost on.
team with last man on the seat = winner.
yes?
and yes or no for mvc2/ggxx? it’s funny how everyone was saying things about mvc2/ggxx taken out, but when given a chance to correct it they suddenly become too lazy to do anything about it? or maybe not enough time? or don’t care anymore after it was originally announced to be taken out?
i don’t know…
i just hope all the games (fuck even strikers) are included… university battle isnt for fierce competition and winning and shit… it’s just a chance to put bearcade’s name out, measure each other’s playstyles, hang out, get some free games in, and go eat afterwards and have hot wild orgy.
ID at University Battle would be fucking awesome.
ID tourney yay…
akagi !! lets do it !!!
If ID was going to be at UB though, its gotta be boost off…
