Hypespotting 3, Glasgow, Thistle Hotel, 29th-30th March

Kuro Tao

Look's like it's that time of year again for our Celtic cousins to host their own version of a major! The venue will be the Thistle Hotel in Glasgow, same as it was last year for anyone who went.

The game list is as follows, for those who didn't watch the trailer.
Super Street Fighter 4: AE 2012
Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
The King of Fighters XIII
Street Fighter III: Third Strike OE (3v3)

Rules and info can be found here:

You can also find some cheap-o hotels around the area browsing around the HS site, I'd recommend doing a bit of poking around.

On a personal note, I am definitely going to this. I've already booked flights and a hostel in Edinburgh (I know, it's far, but I'm going with my GF and we're taking a holiday anyway lol).

Flights are pretty cheap right now also, 89 Euro with Ryanair return for two.

It might be a tad early to start gauging interest in this, but I might as well just get this thread up so people can decide if they want to go or not. I haven't been to HS, and I'm planning on attending more "majors" in the near future anyway, and since I can't go to Cannes, this is a pretty good deal for me.

So who's up for it?

ladnopoka

I think I'll go to this

Any AE players wanna go as well to represent IE?

Doyler01

I'd like to go, but trying to sort out Cannes fundage first. Then I'l consider this.

Be beast if u go Ladno, I mean free.

ladnopoka

less go doyler, beast them Scottish frauds

Murderous Neil

I'll check to see if the dates don't clash with any college assignments and assessments, as well as the usual financial planning. Obviously will be going for TTT2, might do AE or 3rd Strike for the fun of it since I only just got back into SF.

Ramza

Color me interested! Wont enter the 3v3 for 3S if I do go, completely terrible at 3s atm haha, focuing on AE for now, looking likely than I'll be attending this was brilliant last time

Fergus_

Yeah I might go for TTT2 as well.

Scavenger XIII

Planning on heading for KoF, will have to see if I can convince some other northern lads to go as well.

Kuro Tao

Just to remind people, this is only half a month away. If you wanna book, I'd advise doing so now.

Murderous Neil

I'm not gonna head Kuro. I simply don't have enough character knowledge of TTT2 as of the moment. I could very easily go there and get blown up by a guy who uses characters I'm not familiar with. I'm gradually working my way through the cast though. If there's a stream for the TTT2 tournament, stick on a link and I'll probably watch it.

jimmypenguin

2 of us heading over from galway! bro lives there so heading over for the visit

Nevflinn

I didn't mention because I'm really rusty at the moment, but I came over to Hypespotting for the weekend.
I kinda qualified for top 16, so I figured I'd come clean before anyone sees me tomorrow!

P.S Kuro is a beast

Kuro Tao

Made it through to top 8 in Tekken, 7-0'd my bracket!

Also Jimmy, I still have your 360 pad!

Jun_DP101

Nice one kuro! Gl with the rest

Fergus_

TTT2 top 8 coming up now with Kuro in it!

Scavenger XIII

He was supposed to be playing Ryan a minute ago but it didn't happen....?

Yreval

According to http://hs3.challonge.com/TTT2TOP8 he lost 2-0. He's now in losers.

Scavenger XIII

Shoutouts to Ryan picking the green trousers on tulip stage, hide those leg movements.

Kuro Tao

I tried guys!

Still, 4th ain't bad!
