July 13th

Voa

See as how Evo is on that weekend, would anyone object to DoC making a return on the 13th, during the day? And potentially an all nighter to follow at the XGC after? I'm just testing the waters here to see if a set of tournaments followed by Evo would be too much for some people :P

(also, games to be played: Injustice, MK9, SF4, MvC 3 would be the most likely candidates.)

Evo all nighter is enough in itself. Always great craic but wrecked by the end of it!

I say it's a bit too much to spend a day at DoC then on to XGC all night.

As bad as I can remember physically feeling after the last overnighter + tournament, sometimes you just gotta binge.

I'll attend every single thing happening that weekend, then book the following Monday off work for sleeping.

Get on the hype train! Choo choo!

Doctor DooM

I'm there. Bring it.

I'm being selfish here, I'll be in Japan for evo this year, so itd be cool to have a tourney in June

Doctor DooM

Wait, 13th of July?

Can we not have one before then? It's been forever since a tournament...

Voa

Okay. We'll have one on the 15th of June as a DoC, then a pre-Evo tourney (Irish totally not-Evo) (we're booked in on the 15th provisionally right now)

Doctor DooM

You're the best VoA ever.

Voa

As a warning though: we might do a 2 part - DoC, we have the exchange booked from 4.30 till 11.30 in the afternoon on the 15th this month. So we have 7 hours over the usual 11 or so to get in, set up, play, get out. We may do an Injustice/MK9/MvC tournament this month and then an Injustice/MvC/SF tournament on the 13th.

This is all provisional, subject to change, yada, yada.

...I'm gonna have to start hassling for consoles yesterday.

yeay more events!!!

just messaged the mk guys out of dublin there to let them know something might be going down.
yea that would be cool doing two events, would be up for the one on evo weekend aswell and if injustice at both them,all the better, more playing for me.

Fergus_

Less go!

Voa

Like I said though, the 15th is provisional: we'll almost certainly have MvC and Injustice at both events. A third game on the 15th may not go ahead due to time constraints (attendee constraints, ending at 11.30 may be hellish for some of the MK9/northerners). I'll talk to Aileen about this.

We'll need PS3s and Xbox volunteers again though.

Doctor DooM

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but would Tekken not be a better option than MK9?

deathrider

I propose a tourny the day AFTER the all nighter. That way, everyone will be dying of hangovers, not in the form for fighting atall atall, and I can just roll into town, beat everyone's hungover asses and hightail it out of there.
Maniacal laugh! Maniacal laugh!!

Come on lads there is no such thing as too much fighting games. You will be damn sure that I will do my best to attend regardless of dates.

But Doom does have a point. It would only be fair to have Tekken on at one of these tournaments. It will be sure to get entrants. The Tekken lads do their best to support their game. I will enter it anyway even though I don't really play it (mainly because I don't really like it anymore). I am all about KOF now. :rolleyes:

if all the guys outside dublin cant make it,it very well might be.
but saying that the tekken guys would have to pull together aswell, not part of that games scene but im taking from that they have to organise casuals weeks in advance people have real life things getting in way, which cool.

voa mentioned there they mightnt be a 3rd game so that injustice prob be at both events im happy with that so i dont feel the need to push MK blindly like i normally would so whichever can pull most numbers in on the day should be picked.

Completely agreeing really. I do recognize Tekken might take some time, but surely something could be worked out. Hope it joins the list anyhow.

Voa

Alright.
Tekken on PS3 or Xbox?
In which case we'll do
Injustice/MvC/tekken on the date we have the booking for already
and then
SF/Unjustice/MK/MvC (if I can get the booking for the time)

Essentially, DoC 10 (i think) will be split in two parts to get more games in (but the two injustice and mvc tournaments will be seperate ofc) or the second one will just be the Irish-Not-Evo-At-All.

Fergus_

I'd say Tekken would be better on PS3 as we have a few players on PS3 pads, we can use an Xbox setup as well for those with dual modded sticks.

Bento Sento

What Fergus has sounds about right. I should be able to bring down a Xbox for Tekken (or any other games for that matter).

Another point to note. I might get a couple of complaints from the Tekken heads for saying this but don't have Tekken 3/5 games that **** goes on forever. Each game being 3/5 rounds and then 2/3 games is more than suitable especially since time will probably be an issue. I would recommend a 3/5 games grand final though.

P.S Ban Dr.B.

Fergus_

At least make LF/GF 3/5.

Voa

Grand final 3/5.

And my question about ps3/xbox was less a player choice one (though that will be taken into consideration) but more of patching. The reason we play MK and Injustice on PS3 is considerate of the player base, but a lot of it is the fact that if we don't use PS3, we're not able to play it patched. Is there any of that in Tekken? Or popular DLC characters?

Bento Sento

No Tekken is the same on both consoles. So that's why we were just talking about player preference.

Fergus_

I use a DLC character.

If the console is patched before hand, it's fine.

Don't worry, if there's no DLC you can use the superior version of Miharu anyway :P

Fergus_

Miharu is always superior >:|

deathrider

Don't reckon I'll be able to make this month's one. Looks like I'm moving house (again) in the next week our two, so I really can't afford to travel cross country at the moment. If there is indeed gonna be two of these gigs, then I'll try my ass off to get to the July event while I'm settled in and like is back to normal.
