Castle Fight Night X - The Grand Master Challenge - 11/15/08 - Centereach, NY

======3RD STRIKE, ULTIMATE MK3, AND MORTAL KOMBAT 2 HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO PC VERSIONS, NO LONGER CONSOLE!!! PELICAN CONVERTERS WILL BE SUPPLIED FOR STICKS AND CONTROLLERS!!!=====

Hey guys, I'm pretty much coming out of left field with this one, but NEC has put me back in the mood of tournaments. Seeing as how Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 have reignited the arcade scene (somewhat), I feel that New Yorkers (and the usual out of state crews) should get together one more time at Castle Golf for a tournament before NEC in Decemeber.

Castle Golf
1878 Middle Country Rd
Centereach, NY 11720

(631) 471-1267

I have recently purchased another splitter, this one can split HD signals (while still keeping full quality). Because of this, if someone can provide 2 HD TVs (I know that someone brought them for Smash CFN8), I'll gladly split the signal and have a 2 TV setup for that. If not, we can use it for 3S or whatever gets the most entrants like usual.

Venue fee will be $10 and tournament fees will be $5. If equipment is brought, $5 will be taken off of venue fee. You can no longer enter tournaments for free. I had complaints about pots becoming too small because too many people entered for free.

Rules are subject to change, so PLEASE KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS PAGE FOR UPDATES!!!

The games being played in tournament will be as follows:

  • Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (PC (nFBA Emulator)
  • Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (MAME)
  • Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (PS2)
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Nintendo Wii)
  • Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Alpha Anthology PS2)
  • Super Street Fighter II: Turbo (Dreamcast)
The following games will be held as side tournaments

  • Mortal Kombat 2 (MAME)
  • Melty Blood (PC)

Registration for the first 3 games will start at 12 NOON and the tournaments will begin shortly after 1pm.

Whichever tournament gets more registrants will have 2 setups to ensure that everything runs quickly. Once these tournaments are done, I will begin registration for the other tournaments for 1 hour. Tournaments will begin shortly thereafter. Since only 3 tournaments will be run, I can record one game's Top 8 and burn it onto a DVD for whoever wants to make copies of it. You guys can even use my commentary setup if you wish, have a blast.

Since Castle Golf will be open for business, we will be restricted to the one party area and the outside area. The outside area, weather permitting, will be used for casuals. No tournaments will be run outside due to the possibility of glare. Because of the one room restriction, only 3 or 4 tournaments will be run at a time. Venue registration will be taken at the same time as tournament registration at the front counter by me. Mark is no longer involved with Castle Fight Night anymore. I will personally take registration money for both venue and tournament, compile a list of players in all games, and give the lists to the tournament runners so they can make the brackets.

John! Funny, I just mentioned to Shock today that I wanted to talk to you about another CG tourney. You know UMK3 is gonna be there.

I think Early to Mid November is good... 2nd week of Nov. at the latest for the reason you stated... save funds for Philly. I would aim for either Oct. 25th or Nov. 1st.

Nice, time to start practicing up my UMK and 3s... and I've been getting into GGXX#Reload, so I may have to try some AC.

I can also bring my Dreamcast for a ST tourney like last time and also if people are interested, we can run a SFA3 tourney.

If HD Remix is out by then, we can prob. use one of my 360's for it also.

Lastly, IF there's time and desire, I can do something with MK2 as well, casuals or a tourney.

Roll Call for UMK Players!

Made in NY guys need a custom stick... they play on a 3x3.

Frankie, you want in for this one?

Waiting on Styroteqe and Kaldragon. Just got conf. from LI Maverick that he'll be there.

Honestly, since this is the final Castle Golf before NEC, basically anyone who plays competitively in the Tri-State area and is putting any consideration into going to NEC in December should be here.
 
count me in, a 1 1/2 hour drive aint shit.

most definitly mk2 and sign me up for the umk3 tournament, im sure the umk3 folks could use a good last place honorable mention player,hahahaha. yeah dude, im down.

Has anyone else gotten in touch with the Made in NY guys? If possible, can someone PM me Zach's AIM and/or phone number so I can contact him. If he wants 3x3 custom sticks for this event, I can prob get them for him.
 
ok, couple questions. are there any hotels in the area? and are you guys playing umk3 on a cab? i just noticed the mk2 side tourney (yay) will be on ps3. if there is a hotel around the area, ill have a MK hotel bash, everyone invited,hahahaha.

just wanted to let you guys know, im mainly MK2. i am nowhere on the level of all you umk3 folks. but im definitly descent. me and onewhite1gold had some great matches on kaillera last night. i played good (with dual shock ps2 controller)but once i go to 360 and that d-pad, i can barely even play,lol. ill try my best aginst you guys though.

I'm sure there are hotels in the general area. The tournaments will start around 1pm or so and will end somewhere between 10 and midnight, depending on how many people there are and how smoothly the tournaments run. Remember, some of us will be competing in multiple tournaments(I'll be in at least 5... MK2, UMK3, ST, SFA3, 3s... and maybe even GGAC).

None of the tournaments are being held on cabinet, although I believe there will be sticks available for just about all the games. Summoning is bringing his ps3 stick for MK2, and I'll have my dual system stick for 360/ps3, plus both of my ps2 to ps3 converters.

I'm already reading that SSF2T: HD Remix should be out before November. If it is, I may bring it as well.
 
sounds like a plan,actually now that i know i can bring controllers im good. im getting the "xfps sniper 3.0" witch allows for dual shock on 360,im bringing it,lol. im excited and cannot wait to meet all you guys. i wanna see if VA-380 and Cuko will come out,they live in the area too. sounds fun!

Looks like the turnout is going to be very good.
I know I IM'd it to you before, but can you or someone call Zach from MINY and tell him to get in touch with me? We need to get those sticks ordered ASAP if they're to be ready by tournament time.
