I think that the OP makes it quite clear that they are not being run at this years DB Chunkis.

chunkis

yeah but why?

Blinn

Thinking of heading up to this- just one question. If I play in the casuals do I have to pay to watch the tourney?

chopperbyrne

I assume that's Super Street Fighter IV and not vanilla? Also, is it Continuum Shift or Calamity Trigger?

mr_kyle

chunkis wrote: »

Because its very unfair having an all Street Fighter event on those who are fans of different fighting games. Out of T6 and BB, there are more BB players. So it makes sense that the second game is BB.

As long as you pay into casuals you are free to watch the tournaments.

I should have clarified that =/ *goes to editor*

what no pit fighter? :mad:

mr kyle your logic is flawd, sf4, hdr and 3s are all completely different games, you can`t compare them to each other just because they have street fighter in the title, they have as much right to be in this event as blazeblue, considering the attendence at the last event in dublin i would say HDR is the 2nd most popular fighting game in ireland, followed by 3rd strike.

Why do these games and the players who play these games get the raw deal?

Explain that...

To be fair up in ye olde north it's a different sitch to down here. We couldn't keep a T6 ranbat going but they did.

chunkis

His reason for not having HDR or 3s is because they are called street fighter, that kind of talk is why ireland is still living in the dark ages.

These games are different games, i am not saying blazeblue has no players or that people don`t play it, i know they do, but what am saying is that other games deserve a chance too, especially if they are proven to have a larger number of players playing them, wouldn`t you agree?

GorySnake

A wider variety of games could improve attendance.

Blaz blue is the only game I see being played regularly besides SF4, tbh.

chopperbyrne

It might come down to funding too.

If SvB are offering free entry, then it should be no issue, but if it's coming out of the DS funds then only having two games is understandable and best to go with the two games likely to have most players which are SSFIV and BB:CS.

BB players are the only ones with the balls to turn off SF4

If i see anymore text from you, i will call the dole you pikey!

Scavenger XIII

Will be there.

Two Tuesday sessions probably won't be enough to adapt to CS though. :pac:

Resorting to name calling is a clear sign you've lost the argument.

Ive not lost anything and this isn`t an argument. I couldn`t be botherd replying to what you said, because i know neoempire and how they work.


The only reason i am making noise about this is because i want to come to belfast, win all the tournaments and get free entry to svb.


LOL.

You are completely stating the obvious for some reason. Are you trying to suggest that I do not understand that those games are different?

chunkis wrote: »

I did not compare them at all. The choice was not based on name; thats just how you have misinterpreted what I have written unfortunately.

Fair enough, but please bear in mind that your opinion has no sway over what we do up here.

As I have stated, that it not the reason regardless of what you choose to believe.

At Q-Con, BlazBlue got more players than HDR or 3S. It makes perfect sense that BlazBlue is the 2nd game.

Just spotted this now, but strictly speaking HDR wasn't even played at all at the last event.

Twas classic ST.

Now that I think about, I'm not sure I've EVER been at an event in Dublin where HDR was being played.

A lot of people here seem to have a lot of problems with the changes, so it always loses to ST in votes.

GorySnake

By HDR he meant SF2 in general. HDR is a controversial subject. I like the game but some of the attempts at balancing were a bit stupid.

In short, it's his (and others of course) event and he can run it as he likes. Events in Dublin get a different attendance than those in the North; thankfully later he has stated that BlazBlue has a bigger following.

You can give feedback but at the end of the day, choices are made and not everyone is going to be happy.

GorySnake wrote: »

But also means more admin work, etc. Better to see an event run well than an event with 000's at it.

Isn't ramza the only person who made noise about that. AE, ST, HDR I'll play whatever's on, and I think most people feel that way.

Orim

No it was Ramza and Dreddy. With Chopper and Xinkai on the other side.

And that was totally about AE.

HDR hasn't gotten that many negative vibes (although Gory seems to have an issue with).

I don't know about this. Should be able to make it up though.

GorySnake

Im cool with HDR, I was just saying how some people hate it. I just think one or 2 things are dumb.

Ssf4 are for the people that can't handle BB:p

Just joking, both are great games, at least it's BB and ssf4 being played i like that combo ^^

mr_kyle

This event has now become part of a Dragonslayers 24 hour event. If any of you who participated in the DB want to stay on for the full 24 hours, the entry to DS24 (normally £8) will be reduced!

Is it still on the same date?

It is indeed. The only thing that has changed is that once the Dramatic Battle is over at 1800, the games will continue to 1200 on Sunday. Provided reduced entry to DS24 is paid of course.

Unfortunately I have not been quoted an exact figure yet =( I'm hoping the DS24 committee at least take of the £2 price of general entry.

It's up on SFIE : http://streetfighter.ie/?p=1199

Orim

If anyone is planning to go up on the train, head over here and you should be able to get 20% off the fare.

Doctor DooM

Myself and el doomcamerto are confirming.

Voa

If anyone is booking via credit card (with discount) I can supply cash if they're willing to buy me a ticket?

Doctor DooM

Myself and chopper have this **** down people.

Anyone who wants a ticket post before 8pm Thursday. I'll book.

I'm an O2 customer and will try and get it cheap, if it doesn't work out don't blame me.

Indeed.

Doctor DooM

Oh, thats another thing.

I only book the train up as theirs an hourly aircoach back to Dublin city. It takes about the same time and is comfy.

It's 24 hours so gives you all the flexability to leave when you want and is from the Europa. This is really good for the DS24 events and provides myself and chopper the chance to scare young women with transformer talk.

Owwmykneecap

Anyone staying for the full thing?

also do we pay on the door?

K.O.Kiki

Doom, put me down as well will ya?

Think this may be my 2nd-last/last tournament for a while, as I'll be broke come next month.

Dreddybajs

Stick me down as well doom if you don't mind!

Scavenger XIII

I've just gotten a cold out of nowhere, so I've got what 3 days to get over it or I'll be sneezing in the middle of every round. :pac:
