AE launch event in Cork

Sairus

After talking with y'all at Tempest it seems that people want an AE launch tournament, so before I try and book a venue, can anyone that'd be interested attending please vote in the poll here.
Please don't vote if you're not going to be attending either way.

AE is coming out on Tuesday the 7th as DLC so we can't run it until the next day at the earliest.

Also, since DLC is locked to the console it is vital to running something like this that people be able to supply 360s with the DLC already purchased.
I can only bring one instead of the two like I usually do because of the way DLC is tied to the console it was bought on.

In Sairus' apartment. (Give me a PM and I'll send you the new address)
€10 entry.
Saturday 11th of June.
Casuals from 1200 and the tournament will start at 1400.

EDIT:

After a few days voting it seems that a weekend event is preferable, so here's the final details:

Usual rules for Tempest apply. 60/30/10 prize pot, double elim, all run on xbox, etc.

If Smart finally get around to hooking us up with the internet (been waiting since the begining of March :mad:) I should be able to supply an Xbox with the DLC. Won't be able to bring a TV though, it's a bit big :P

And it will all depend if it's on the Wednesday.

when I said do something for AE I meant the disk release
because I won't be free until after 16th :rolleyes: so both dates suck for me.

Something will definitely be done for the disk, but I want to see if we can get something for the DLC too

Sabre0001

Won't make either I'm afraid. Migrating to Dublin for month of June and have a gig on the 11th

WasterEx

Sounds pro:cool: Yeah weekend it is for me. Also if i get in touch wit my buddy i'll let him know the situation about the venue we need. I'll be able to bring console with AE.

goodjay

i chose wends,be cool the day after launch. but whatever day for me,no problem ill be there and with a dlc console.

Just a idea Sai but if the numbers for this are small ,i would be more than happy to hold the event at my place.

Misty Chaos

To be honest, while I said Saturday, I don't really mind what day the event is on as I should be free on either day regardless. However, there is a chance I might not be able to attend as I will be watching my pennies for the Evo Tourny the following weekend.

If I can attend, I can bring an Xbox with the DLC no problem.

Y'all gonna need all the practice you can get if you wanna stand a chance in Dublin

I'd be aiming for about a 1pm start, but I can't set anything in stone until I contact the venue.

seanalot

Well I'm a working stiff, so I can only do weekends.

Work monday to friday so weekend for me

Sairus

I was just onto Joe, the guy in charge of the Fás building we were hoping to run casuals and future tournaments in, alas it does not look like we'll be able to use it.
He said that they want to focus their efforts on letting it out for artistic purposes as opposed to running competitions like this.
Tis a darn shame as the venue would be extremely nice to get. I reckon I'll let him work away on getting the place fixed up some more and then I'll ask again.

So for this AE tourney it'd probably work better to run in either mine or Goodjay's house, as that poll shows there probably wont be a huge turnout I'll be in a new house on Wednesday, so after the casuals tomorrow we can figure out which place is better suited to running an event.

Also, a question to those who work during the week: Would a later tournament during the day suit ye? Like something in the 1800-1900 starting area?

WasterEx

What a dissapointment that is. I just emailed a friend of mine about us needing a venue, if he says it's not possible to use it, I'm sure he will give some info on where to find a cheap one anyway.:pac:

mackg

if it is on during the week I could make it for six no problem, office hours are out though.

When AE drops might get some new players along to the tourneys and all.

Sairus

It's tied at 5 votes each way, but from the sounds of it more people would be able to make a Saturday tourney than midweek. Sorry, Martyr.
Also, I'm fully moved into my new place now and it's lovely and big with a much more convenient shape for setting up multiple consoles than my last apartment. It lacks goodjay's gargantuan TV, but the screens I have should be plenty

So, full details for the tourney:

We can run a mini tournament on the side using only new characters if y'all are interested.

Seems like most tournaments with AE are going to be pretty much new character only anyway Fricking Yun.

Are they though? Not many people I've talked to seem to want to pick up Yun (seem to be more people interested in Yang).

Orim

You could be right. Fricking twins :pac:

Your vote never counts.

But good stuff

Also, just a reminder to those who've been to my apartment before: I have since moved to another part of the city, so you'll want to PM me to get my new address!

Sairus

One final reminder : The doorbell on my apartment is currently broken, if you don't have my number, PM me for it lest you be left outside in the cold while we all have all the fun up in my living room.
Also, if you're not interested in competing in the tourney, come on over for casuals

Except you, Vizard. Get back to those books.

mackg

GGs to everyone especially Gouke making gouken top tier looking :eek:

Agreed F**K Fei Long erm.... think I need to train the wed I finish my LC so I'm not complete trash at the evo on saturday.

Thanks mackg Hope to beat your S rank Fei long once I actually play AE properly. Match up for ryu is just terrible now... wait just ryu altogether hes bad.

P.S. Bounty Bars R GDLK :pac:

Sairus

And so the results are finally in with Shokashi finally taking first place at a tournament. God knows he's been barely knocked out in the grand finals often enough to deserve it!

Final standings are:

1st: Shokashi
2nd: Gouke
3rd: MackG
4th: Sairus
5th: VizardAnto
5th: Silver Steez
6th: Goodjay
6th: WasterEX

I didn't seed the groups for this tournament so these results won't be factored into the seed lists for Tempest.

Cheers to everyone for showing up, t'was a fun aul session.
I think I learned my lesson about picking Oni in a tourney after a week of using him :pac: (But probably not)
Special props to Gouke's Gouken. He leveled up something fierce over the last couple of weeks. Mad combos coming out all over the place.

I'll have a few videos up later today or tomorrow. Alas due to some technical difficulties (namely there was less battery remaining in my camera than I thought and it takes ****ing ages to charge via laptop USB cable) there were only a few games from groups recorded.

To clarify Waster's comment above, he bet me his house that I couldn't beat his Ryu with my Oni. I now own the title deeds to his next three houses or something. :pac:

P.S. No they're not Vizard.

EDIT: Also, I have someone's 360 controller with the wired battery pack yoke.
