Day of Champions 2 17th July

Orim

SFIE is proud to bring you our Day of Champions in XGC!

This will consist of tournaments for four different games! That's right four games.

Despite being only the second time this is on, we will be making a change to the the event. There will be now be a featured game. This featured game will based on the game from the previous DOC which had the most attendants. This game will a double elimination and will feature a mystery prize.

The games will be :
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo - Featured Game (HDR with classic mode/Akuma Banned)
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
Tekken 6
Guilty Gear XX


Each tournament will be single elimination.
The tournaments will kick off at two o'clock if there is 16 entrants. Otherwise I will wait for three o'clock to try and get 16 entrants. At three o'clock they will kick off regardless of numbers.

All usual general behaviour rules will be enforced - No turbo, No being an asshole and No white tracksuits.

Cost will be the usual €5 for console rental and €1 for each tournament you wish to enter. There will be no prize pot as this will be a fund raiser for the community.

To offset the lack of prize pot, there will be €20 available for anyone that can place top three in three tournaments.

Good stuff Orim, can't wait

Dreddybajs

Shall be there, can't wait!

chopperbyrne

Should be there. Can probably bring a wii with TvC and a stick for the wii.

If Red can fix his stick or of anyone else has a Wii stick that'd be handy. Fairly certain Kiki has Accent Core + for Wii if you want to use that version.

Xinkai

Or i have GGXX Reload on my laptop

GorySnake

Most likely gonna be there, can bring a copy of Tekken 6 if I can make it.

Ramza

Xinkai I am bringing X2 reload on xbox so if Orim wants two systems running same game maybe to speed it up? And I don't mind which GG AC or Reload its cool with me

chueytoo

ah **** won't be able to make it. on the bright side you won't lose 20 euros now

animaX

If you've played an SF game or a marvel game TvC is familiar enough, just need to remember there's only 1 weak medium and strong attack buttons.

Should be easier to handle with a standard Xbox pad then.

It's on Wii and will be played on sticks.

If you have MvC2 then you can practise with that. A lot of the techniques from Marvel will transfer over to TvC

Well i got MvC on PS2 so hopefully thet'll be close enough to do some practicing on. Gonna try get a loan of a classic controller for the tourney

chopperbyrne

I suppose I should get around to unlocking every character in TvC at some stage this week.

Might get a bit of practice in too.

Voa

I'll be reppin' Potemkin in GGXX. HEAVENRY POTEMKIN BUSTA.*
In other games I'll be reppin' whatever grapplers I can find (so Gief, King, and Zero [not a grappler but hell, I love me some MMX series.])

K.O.Kiki

I'm gonna be mashing with Jam Kuradoberi.
Mashing WITH STYLE.

Also it'll sound like utter insanity.
But not as insane as this:

Why would you run #Reload over Accent Core when AC is the game that is used pretty much worldwide as the tournament game of choice? Anyone who runs #R clearly isn't looking for any respect.

I would come down to play GG but I work on Saturdays.

Who said we were using #R? That was all we had until we only realised that Kiki has ^C.

Cloudpaul

If you would like another copy I can send one down with someone up here if they're going.

Also, I only brought up the #r issue because it was mentioned by a couple of people and AC was only really mentioned once.

I would love to come down for GG as it is my primary game but alas, I physically cannot.

To be honest, I'll run whatever games I can get my hands on.

Not looking for any respect, I'm looking to get people playing games that they haven't considered before.

Owwmykneecap

I should be up for this.

Doctor DooM

Think I will record the SSF2T tournament...

chunkis
