    Good stuff trying to get an active, competitive tekken scene going here lads, I wish you well. You should put up a flier on the Tekken 6 arcade machines in Quirkeys. There's still some good few good players that play in them. As far as I know Istvan & Suki Dayo Kawaii still pop in there from time to time.

    Havent played Tekken in a long time, I might be interested in this.

    You would be much better off organising this tournament for the 23rd of October for a larger turnout. The Street Fighter Community here will be running tournaments from 29th to the 31st of October at Gamer Expo: http://streetfighter.ie/?p=1337

    I'm in.

    Scrub pad Bryan AWW YEAHHH!!

    PS probably dropping 2D for Tekken Tag 2 if it's any good.

    Unless we get Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code, or Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown on console.

    *edit* oh ****, it clashes with Gamer Expo :(

    More details are needed.

    Who are you guys? Are you from tekken zaibatzu?

    Are you looking to make money off your tournament or will all funds be to cover costs and prizes?

    Either way good luck with your tournament.

    Hey lads, wish you the best running this tournament, would be great to have another active game in the scene running events regularly - however I agree with the posters in this thread that the weekend of the 30th is the worst date you could be running this on, as it conflicts with GAMER Expo.

    Tks for the ideas and comments guys, we ll advertise at XGC and Doctor Q.

    For the tourney we can move it to the 23 october.

    We are from Zaibastu and are great tekken fans.

    To Answer about the money, the main goal is to get enough money to pay XGC for hosting the tourney and to get a small cash price for the winner. Like any E-sport tourney, the goal is to promote the game and to share a passion. Not really to make a huge fianancial profit ! ^^

    I add the guys names below, and dont forget to talk about it around you guys ! :)

    TEST YOU WELL :D

    Sounds like you're doing it for the right reasons anyway, that's probably the best way to get the community behind you!

    The Blazblue crowd are doing an EPIC job of getting their game off the ground right now too, and at the moment they're running free entry into their Wheel of Hype tourney so that new players will be more enticed to enter (it is a 5er to cover consoles). I would suggest you follow a similar plan for your first few tourneys, it'd definitely entice people of my skill level (none in this game) to join up and have a laugh!

    Doubt I'll be at this, DS are running an event in Belfast that weekend and it kinda gets priority on account of being 80-90 miles closer to home. :p

    A sunday?


    You will get less people, garuanteed.

    You need to accept you will start out small and build up, just like the SF and blaz blue communities did.

    That's cause it sucks :P

    As far as the tournament goes you'll need to start out small.
    I think the worst thing you can do at this stage is to not hold a tournament. The day of the tournament might make a slight difference but it's not going to be huge, as to be honest there just doesn't seem to be a massive fanbase for 3D fighters.

    You also have to remember that while people might not say that they will be there, they may turn up on the day. Looking at the last Inferno 26 people said they would come but we ended up with 38 people. Holding the tournaments regularly is what will get people to show up.

    You need to build up a good core of regulars and you're not going to do that by moving the tournament. Commit to the day, run it and see where you stand. Look at the Northern scene. They started with 3 people but they kept at it and now they've a good base of players, one of whom got top 16 at SvB.

    Even though he said 7th of November both here and on TZ, today he posted that it's on Saturday the 6th.

    I already informed him that this will probably rule out any SF players who said they'd play.

    Hi Guys,


    thanks for updating the topic title, i did not how to do it myself...

    Can someone update this to the 13 November ? We won t change the date anymore...this one is 100 sure.

    So if some of the players who said they are interested can confirm their coming on the 13 that would be good.

    TEST YOU WELL :cool:

    Oh, I think we can run both of those on the same day.

    The Tekken heads can see how a small community works then ;)

    @Triademan: Send a PM to the mods (Azza or Doctor_Doom)
