LanParty.ie 3 - Street Fighter 4 competition 6th March

Kinetic^

Right folks, our next event has been decided and we'll be running another SF4 competition after ye had an awesome time at the last event.

Competition Date: 6th March - midday (5th is available for casuals like last time and ye can play in to the early morning on the 7th - later on the sunday morning there's a good chance some of the consoles will be sued for our FIFA 10 competition)

Venue: Sheldon Park Hotel, Dublin 12.

Game Format: Xbox 360/PS3

Competition Format: Group + Double Elimination - Best of 3 matchs (not rounds) in all fights in group and double elimination

Restrictions: No button turbo enabled

Cost: €20 - prepay only

Prize: 50% of entry fee with a breakdown of (70/20/10) plus a copy of Super Street Fighter 4 thanks to Gamesnash.ie.

SF3 competition will go ahead again with the winner receiving a copy of Super Street Fighter 4. PPC will be recording matches as usual.

I'll have signups for SF4 up over the next 24 hours. With the database issues on the last site we've gone with a new one on the new site so if you'd an account on the old site you'll need a new one. Sorry.

Link to signups.

I still haven't been able to sort your 3rd place prize out from last time, been busy with exams and haven't been able to get in to any of the meets. You can have free entry to the next one or I can drop money in the next time you're playing. It's up to yourself.

Sagat06

I havent been to a meet since myself so no harm at all.

I'll take the free entry save on hassle!

Cheers!

Doctor DooM

Let's see if I can improve on my 4th place.

Also, hope you're practicing 3rd strike Farz, Cos I might play it once or twice between now and then, and what'll happen then? :P

Farz will **** bricks like last time

Great stuff Kinetic, looking forward to it

chopperbyrne

The last one was good fun so hopefully this one will be too.

Can we make it a top 16 for double elim this time though. There really was no reason for only top eight last time.

A-Trak

Good stuff, enjoyed the last one. Hope to be there.

Agree with chopper, would like to see top 16 double elim, I reckon that the numbers would definitely be up on the last one as well making it more viable.

Also, seeded groups please - I've no desire to be in a possible group with Azza, Bush, Blag & Covlecog thanks

Kinetic^

It'll be seeded again.

The last time we had 4 groups of 5 so making it top 8 in double elimination was the logical way to approach it. Otherwise we would've just went straight to double elimination and not going with groups. Depending on how many are at the next event will determine how many groups there are and thus how many go in to the double elimination round. I think 50% to go through to double elimination is a fair %. If we're to have 16 in double elimination not all games will be able to recorded due to time limitations as people will be catching buses etc. From the top 8 onwards, games will be recorded.

Edit: also, I'll have speakers for that machine that had none the last time.

Doctor DooM

The reason the last one didn't appear to be seeded was it was both Cobelcog and Ken B's first appearance. Them's hardly normal circumstances.

Ken B

By that stage(March 6) you might see me busting out my Adon!!! Or my new, improved Vega (who's getting fireballs and uppercuts in Super, if my sources are correct....):)

Dreddybajs

Tbh even if Super comes out in March I'd prefer to keep the tournament to SF4 - that's hardly enough time to learn the game.

K.O.Kiki

No no, that'd be the beauty of it - all the new, untested/secret tactics would come to the fore!

Retr0gamer

I'd be all up for a Super SSF4 tournament. We all have to get with the times eventually, although I doubt it will be out by then although I might be able to sweet talk my friend into giving me a review copy as long as I write a review of it.

EVERYONE TO RETROS GAFF!

chopperbyrne

It may not even be out on console by then, let alone on PC.

Kinetic^

Hey lads, just wanted to clear this up. We're going to run with SF4 for this event and will switch over to SSF4 for future outings.

Doctor DooM

I registered but can't see the SF fee thingame. I know you're too on top of things for this to be a mistake

Kinetic^

Heh, I said I'd be sorting it out and am currently in the cp of LP.ie doing so

Kinetic^

...and done.

What, no C64?

I had Street Fighter II on the Commodore 64.

I'd like to say it was awesome, but sadly it wasn't.

Could have been better if they just went with plain backgrounds and concentrated on the characters instead.

Yeah I know, the guys said the pre-orders for the C64 were gone but if you wanted it for the Atari Jaguar to let them know......provided you win of course

Owwmykneecap

What format are you running 3rd strike on?

Or are you emulating it on PC?

K.O.Kiki

Most likely PC, unless someone has it for PS2 (I have a VGA box if needed).

BBC Micro first in the queue ! Actually had one of these.

Then one Christmas got a Commodore Plus 4 because the folks thought it was the C64

Ha memories !

I have the original (and best) ps2 japanese version running from HD with no loading times! Also, my SE can be used on the ps2. Thing is, does anyone else have a ps2 compatible stick?

Don't worry Terry, that CD was bought long ago, the voice of an angel I tell you.

Anyway you should be more concerned with your new autobiography. Artwork is very childish in my opinion.
