Experimental Week: BlazBlue Calamity Trigger Casual Tournament

Xinkai

Alright Guys, I said I'd do this and heres me backing up the words!

What I'm looking to do is expand the irish fighting game scene and what a better way to do it than to play BlazBlue! We've all seen it and commented on how cool it looks etc, so i'm gonna throw out an open invitational to try out the game for themselves & hopefully get a real interest in a game other than street fighter 4.

BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger 1st Un-Official Casual Tournament.
XGC Liffey Street
Sat 23rd January 2010
2pm-6pm
2.50 Euro Entrance (to help pay for consoles)

The Tournament will be run on 2 PS3 consoles, All characters allowed, no unlimited forms.

There will be other games in the XGC as Saturday is casual meet up day for SF4.

Favor can this be stickied for the moment & can Sabre001 upload it to esports.ie please I'm trying to spread the word all outside publicity would be appreciated.

Got some questions...

Is this game out yet here or are you guys using imports? Been waiting to play this game for ages, looks great!

I've never played it before/or don't have a clue of the game system. Would it make sense for people who never touched it before to attend? Can I ask why are you hosting a tourney if its for people just to come and see what the game is like? (right?)

Xinkai

Yeah were using imports me & Kiki have copies. The game is set for release in march so i'm looking to get some people hyped up about it by hosting a few events before the game is launched here. It will make sense to show up & try it don't worry your not gonna be the only new guy who has never touched it before at the event, i'm personally inviting friends to this who have only seen vids like yourself. Come along, try the game, play with other players on your skill level & ask me & kiki questions about it.

Ramza

Cool, cool. I really liked GG but sometimes even that game confuzzles me >.<

When I watch videos of BlazBlue I'm like err wtf is going on? I guess it's all part of the learning process. How in depth is the game?

Sick, I'll be there this Sat

Also, may I ask why it's a tourney, shouldn't you just make it a casual meet/free for all or w/e. I guess limited game copies is why

Red350

I'll definitely give this a go, it looks like a really awesome game.

Jim

I've no idea how the **** to play the game but I'll try pop in Sat. There's a chance I might be busy but not 100% sure yet.

Xinkai

Jim thats the point most of the people who show up will have no idea how to play it thats why i want people to try the game & see what they think about it.

The tutorial discs that came with BB are a good way to get a rough idea of how to play the game before you pick it up:

Jin and Ragna are good beginner characters if you're not used to GG/MB style fighters. Steer clear of Rachel, Carl and Litchi if you're not sure what you're meant to be doing.

I wish I could make it down to finally get some people to play BB with but I'm hella broke and a bus down to Dublin is pricey for me (and I wanna save up for a tourney in Sweden). If BB ever runs on a day where the other northern lot are heading down for SF4 I may tag along for a few games!

Done and thanks for the mention. eSports.ie is pleased

K.O.Kiki

Incidentally, I can't do any good combos anyway :pac:

My game is really scrappy right now from lack of place so any practise between now and Showdown in May would be awesome!
