SFxT launch tournament- it's on again!

Doctor DooM · 07-03-2012 7:44pm #1

Hi guys,

We're in the situation were we have the Clarence booked, so we've decided to go ahead and hold the launch party.

It's short notice, but I think most people would like one, considering.

It'll be in the Clarence, doors open 12 pm, tourney will start 1pm roughly.

This is not backed by Capcom but the Irish FGC is paying for it, so we're going to ask for a small entrance fee of 5 euro. I hope that's ok. If it goes beyond the cost of the room, we'll put it into prizes.

I appreciate this is tight, but if people could pledge any gear, we'll be grateful as always.

Cheers!

Will be there to run the tournament as well as possibly, hopefully streaming it. Will bring along a console for sure and a monitor if the stream isn't possible.

The SNAKE will be there. No console though I'm afraid.

Looks like streaming isn't happening, the net isn't good enough to make it worthwhile.

@Dreddy - The hotel can only accommodate a 512kb wireless, think its right that we wont be able to stream.

Count me and my mate in too. If you're short, I can bring an xbox. Will it be just SFxT or will there be side games also?

Kanped · 07-03-2012 11:28pm

Is anyone from up North driving or otherwise getting down in a way that means I don't need to spend £30 travelling and then get lost?

I can't bring my xbox as I share it but I can bring a copy of the game. Does that help or do we have plenty already?

I would say every little helps especially with the confusion.

Doctor DooM · 08-03-2012 11:00am

On the topic of equipment, yes at this point logistically every little helps. We're throwing this together at the last minute, so I simply can't say "we'll have 4 xboxes, 3 ps3s" etc.

If you are bringing gear though, I'd recommend marking it or putting a little sticker on it somewhere. There will (hopefully) be a lot of similar gear and I don't want any going missing on anyone.

Owwmykneecap · 08-03-2012 11:46am

I'll be there. with an xbox. If it's needed.

No point having 7 xboxes 2 ps3s and 4 tvs..

bush bring your special one.

If your coming to spectate you might as well play. It's a new game to all of us so it a (kinda) level playing field for it

Don't want to embarrass myself :pac:

the 1st hardter · 09-03-2012 12:26am

NO STUPID ONLINE DLC CHARACTER GEMS!!!

Dude my first tournament was the Evo Qualifier last year and lost all of my games in pools. Did I feel embarrassed, yes. Would I do it again, HELL YEAH.

No one will turn around and go "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA YOU SUCK DUDE, DAM GET OUT"

They kinda go "Man that was harsh but if you work on getting that 1 frame link and playing more patient when you in the lead then you would do better"

We here to help and grow our community not shun people away.

kingbob387 · 09-03-2012 12:32am

Damn dude, you got balls for diving into Evo Qualifier as a first tourney.

You have my respect!

In that case I'll bring my stick with me and loose a few matches :P.

Yeah I just saw the post on the SRK forums and thought "Well I'm a B+ rank on Xbox live with 1500pp, how good can the Irish players be???"

If I had not done that I would still be a wall jumping Vega scrub (YES I STILL PLAY VEGA BUT I DON'T KEEP WALL JUMPING)

Good man. Hopefully see ya there. I'll be the typical looking nerd (long hair, dorky glasses and weird nerdy T-Shirt)

Well, I can recall at least 4 other Chinese people at various times, so it's not that unusual.

I'd guess 2 others will be there on the day, too

Thank feck for that. I was running around Temple Bar like a headless chicken looking for the place yesterday. Never found it. At least now I think I know where I'm going... Can't garauntee I won't get lost though.

Thanks to everybody who showed up, brought equipment, and helped out with recording/tournament organisation/anything in general!

Sorry for the messiness of the tournament and that there wasn't much time for casuals, was a mistake to run double elim. Hope everyone had a good time anyway.

1st: Gorysnake
2nd: Dreddybajs
3rd: DRz | Chunkis

Once Capcom's goodies arrive with chunkis, we can get some prizes out to the top placers (Gory already got GEMS and 25 quid but there'll be t-shirts and games and so forth). Will make a post with exactly what everyone's getting once I know what we have.

Bracket: http://challonge.com/sfxtdublin

Edit: also I have a 360 wired pad belonging to someone. Presumably Nutrient or Kuro.

GGs to all! Was a great fun!
I think SFxT will be playable as well as SSF4 and UMvC because it is so much fun! Its a really good game!
Also i think this game will bring a lot of new players into our FGC!
