Doctor DooM · 12-01-2012 8:22pm

Jun_DP101 · 12-01-2012 8:23pm

It's not really casual, but yeah there's a big national 5 v 5 too.

Put me in coach, I got hoop dreams!

Sairus · 12-01-2012 10:22pm

I'm up for some 3v3. T'was a hoot last year.

If Ladnopoka wants my slot he's welcome to it though - solo SF4 and MvC3 will do me just fine. Reckons we have a better chance of taking some French names with him on a team

ladnopoka · 12-01-2012 11:29pm

i want to be in 3v3 and 5v5 AE teams... make sure to have at least 1 top players team

Doctor DooM · 13-01-2012 1:00am

Indeed, we'll prob have enough for two teams. Who's confirmed to be going?

ladnopoka · 13-01-2012 2:41pm

im definitely going.. have my tickets booked.

Not even guilt tripping him by saying it's a stag do worked.

chopperbyrne · 13-01-2012 5:45pm

One 5-6 man room for the five of us heading on the Wednesday, unless Chunkis is staying with the UK lot.

Then another 4-5 man room for the rest going on Friday.

I'll see what I can do tonight, that makes sense.

Who's going to scope out the hot goth chicks with me now when Chopper disappears?

chopperbyrne · 13-01-2012 8:45pm

When did I disappear?

Also, hot goth chicks? Unless they were French-Asian I'm surprised Dan even noticed them.

I can't remember the specifics, but myself and Dan ended up wandering around trying to film hot goth girls for the v log.

It's actually in it a little.

That's just a little bit pervy lads.

I have a running theme of having hot girls just out of shot to annoy kiki, that's nothing new!

Sairus · 13-01-2012 9:45pm

I would volunteer to help with the perving, but I just got a Kinect, so any spare non FG time will probably be spent between DDR and Dance Central.

Those womens love the guys with the S ranks and 5 stars.

Some players of the French community booked in some strange places, so I think it's best if we make some things VERY clear: the partner hotels/residences REALLY are the cheapest around (and we're not getting money to make this statement, not even a bit...)
So please use the "Festival International des Jeux" password and book your rooms already before the big ones are gone and you're stuck with smaller, more expensive ones with tiny kitchens...

13.33€/day/pers. at the Maeva Cannes Verrerie (with a bakery around the corner)

OR

14.57€/day/pers. at the Pierre & Vacances Cannes Beach (with a pizza parlor across the street)

http://elyum-studio.com/wgc2012/?cat=40

These hotels are about 20mn on foot/5mn by bus from the Palais des Festivals de Cannes and less than 5mn from each other (the two blocks are side by side).

http://www.busazur.com/tarif/index.asp?rub_code=7 (1€/ride, 9.50€/10 tickets card, 11€/weekly pass)

BB only has 7/32 signed up. Out of curiousity, if there is only a small number of players in this tournament, will it just be cancelled? As I'm thinking of going but it's the only game I main really, and I'd rather not invest money into going and getting tickets if I arrive on the day just to find out the one game I'm going for is cancelled.

Sure I might learn a little MVC or KoF and might enter one of those, but I'd still be annoyed if the main game I went for was pulled. Just wondering before I decide if Im going or not. :P

And entered UMVC3 and MK9

Now the only thing left is accommodation

Just had a look at the same flights as you, not too bad tbh, given the price of everything else, Might end up going afterall, if BB doesnt have a risk of being cancelled. :P

Monkeyto · 16-01-2012 2:03am

Well with smaller numbers you'll have a better chance to fight Tokido, which would be a great experience. Also MOV signed up for 3S:OE which again, is pretty hype!

Fighting these guys is a good test to see what level of skill you really are, as they are the best in the world, gives you great inspiration to get better at your favourite games!

I had the opportunity to fight Kuroda at the weekend. We had like 10 matches which was great fun (even if I was beasted), but it made me wanna get good at 3S. Even managed to get a sneaky few shots in before he ultimatly decimated me!

@Linoud: French players are infamously known for registering at the very last minute... We will at least match last year's total which was 12!

There is no reason for us to cancel anything, really ^^.
