Side Event Description:

Waifu Wars (2AM): Cabinets are assigned numbers and a specific Persona 4 character figurine. The player with the highest win streak on each cabinet receives the Persona 4 figurine that was assigned to the respective cabinet.

Nos Powerup (4AM): This side event hopes to highlight players who are willing to do long sets against another individual for practice or pride. Players may signup during or prior to the side event to participate. Two players will play in a first to 3 wins or first to 5 (match) wins. The loser will be required to POWERUP (to defeat his opponent) and drink a wagered amount of NOS (no bigger than a shot) after each match loss. The victor will be awarded one point, which will be added towards winning a copy of Persona 4 Arena (Ps3)!

Q/A with Viewers (9AM): Stream viewers can ask questions by tweeting with #P4UCharity. Questions will be answered by Norcal top players!

Cosplayer Time (2PM): Cosplayers who attend the event can commentate and speak on the stream! Get familiar with the FGC!

Announcement from Second Harvest Food Bank (5PM): An announcement will be made to help support the charity and those in need.

All Out Attack/ Charity MM’s (All Day): 2$ eight-player tournaments & charity MMs are held throughout the 24 hour event. Participants receive a consolation charity raffle ticket and 1st & 2nd of the 8- player tournament receive 5 and 3 charity raffle tickets respectively. To start an 8-man bracket, request a paper bracket from an event organizer and pay the $2 entry fee. These tournaments will be self-run by the participants and checked off my events organizers. Players who have finished their matches must both initialize their names to show the winner and loser. This continues until first and second place have been determined.

Charity MMs are exhibitions/pride matches with a monetary wager. Players will be featured on the stream and loser donates to a charity of their choice.

how many set-ups will there be for this? unsure if I want to go if there’ll be like 4 set-ups and 150 people.

At least 7 setups with the english copy of the game and then add another 4 setups with the japanese copy, so 11 total at the least, but we’re working on getting more.

SEXYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

If I can buy a copy there, I will go.

I’ll be there at some point for sure. Really excited to try this game out.

Going to try to make it out for a bit.

Madcatz is now a confirmed sponsor. Helping us raise money for those who need it! =)

Raffles are only for people at the venue or open to anyone?

Raffles are open to offline and online donators.

I’ve never been to GameCenter…
I’ve never mained an animu game…
I’ve never entered a raffle…

I’ve never been to the hypest 24h event #FGC & Twitch has ever seen.

FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING!?

Oh, wow. I just got a fantastic idea to raise money for the charities. We should raffle some crab!

Updated the first post with side event descriptions and flyers.

Damn, i really wanted to go to this but i went to the venue last night to try this game out and i got my butt kicked, ha haha. I had to verbally ask for mercy rounds. I was really mislead by the “ease” of this game. People and top players have told me that this game is easier to learn than marvel. I guess everyone’s different because i didn’t see it that way!

At least i know that this place has alot of people playing this game. I’ll definitely go to the next event after I learn to play this game!
