Is MK X gonna be on PS4 or Xbone?

Either way, there's probably gonna be a shortage of pads and sticks for either console (such as myself), as not everyone has next gen as of yet. Think others should bring some spares?

updated systems there

MKX will have 2 set ups with 4 ps4 pads

I urge GG xrd players to bring their controllers, Next gen will be looked after by us, dont expect a ps4 stick though this aint sandyford.

Naphiel

I should be there.

Reminder for everyone to mark your stuff so you can identify it. Makes things more simple for everyone.

Love this.

Sounds like the title of a song from an Irish rapper.

Scavenger XIII

Might be tempted to come down for Xrd and some bant.

Likely to be worth travelling for GG? Not as hungry to see it played as I once was, it's pretty much a mess.

two more rules things as well we should mention for MKX:
winner is Character and variation locked
double random for stage selection


with MK coming back it be great to see some new faces, and old

Ramza

Might try and make this, haven't touched MK since UMK3 when I was a kid, so I will suck. But MKX looks great and this looks like mad fun

LinkieFox

I can take my PS4 with GG/MKX if you guys need another setup.

Simon_K

If there's any need, I can bring my TE stick modded with ps360+. It works on ps4, but has to be soft reset every 8 minutes (easier to just do it before the game).

Soft reset: SELECT + 3K (HK) - it will disconnect and reconnect in ~2 seconds. Just press Home to continue again.

SuperChar

I'd be up for it

ryanakabyitz

Sickened i will not be able to make it up. Hopefully there is some good matches played.

Nutrient

Be sure to enter before 2pm guys, if you make it on time be sure to notify someone at the event via msg/call

2gen

I didn't think I could show until just a few minutes ago. I'll look up some of Reptile bnb's so I'll be able to do better than my performance at last casuals. See you all there!

D4RK ONION

I'll be in, get ready to get rekt.

Nutrient

Estimating around 16-20 for MKX

GG xrd 8-10

I am useless at mkx so far but I will in for the craic as I like the game. Never played in any tournaments before and judging by the beatings I got from 1man3letters and IrishMantis online I won't last long.

To be fair they're two of the best in the country

It's more about hanging with the community and playing casuals anyway. Tournaments aren't about winning and losing*





* obviously this is only true if you're not a winner

Hooch27

Nice one, going to try to get into this around Ireland, hopefully there's a few around cork too, have a good one lads

Also newcomers, there's renovations going on downstairs so the place looks like a bomb hit it. Stairs at the back are still accessible though!

Doctor DooM

Great day.

I want to say a special thanks to the people who helped me out today. I literally wouldn't have been able to get there today without them single handed!

Nutrient

Thanks to everyone for attending, the tournament couldn't have been such a success without you, especially the players that were willing to try out the game spite not having game nor system.


Sincere appreciation to Brian for making it out to record the games, couldn't ask for a better streamer.

Hope to see you all again next time!
