[16 Bit]

I'll be there.

 

[BGCallisto]

Hey guys! First off sorry about the rough time slot for MK, we're trying to run a lot of games in the two days, but hopefully it'll make up for it a bit in that I'm going to be giving it as much stream time as possible, certainly more than last year's Chicago Heart and Frosty Faustings with all of winners' side and finals being shown/recorded. We'll definitely need PS3s and monitors if people could please bring them, and power strips would also be really helpful.

I have both MK and Injustice on my PS3 with all of the DLC characters...I'm not too familiar with the current state of Injustice, are there any character/stage bans or anything of the sort I need to be aware of?

Nope, no bans at the moment. Just need to make sure that each station is running the most current version. Game has been patched / hotfixed several times already.

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

Definitely in for MK 9 and Injustice. Will probably sign up for AE as well to give me something to do that Saturday, as I will be riding up with others who are only interested in AE and Marvel.

 

[BGCallisto]

Just a heads up, we may need to make some schedule changes due to a scheduling conflict at the venue; this should not affect MK or Injustice, but the main Saturday games may need to have their finals pushed back to Sunday. We'll have everything finalized by this Saturday.

 

[Name v.5.0]

A tournament that's 3 hours away from me and I cant go because I'm getting married that weekend. Man...fuck chicks.

 

[BGCallisto]

Updated the schedule in the OP, like I mentioned before we had to move the finals of the Saturday games to Sunday due to some scheduling issues with the venue. Friday schedule remains mostly unchanged; here's the changes

- VSav side tourney moved from 10pm Friday to 4pm Friday
- AH3 side tourney moved from 4pm Friday to 12pm Sunday
- GGXX:AC+ side tourney moved from 5pm Saturday to 6pm Sunday
- Finals for KOFXIII, SSFIV:AE, UMvC3, and P4A moved to Sunday

Note that we will be taking signups for Saturday/Sunday games on Friday so if you're down for the whole weekend feel free to sign up in advance.

 

[Dizzy]

Won't be able to make MK because of work but I might come Friday night to hang out and possibly enter Injustice if I make it in time. When will you close registration for INJ? BGCallisto

 

[BGCallisto]

I'll double check with the guys, but likely 6pm to give us plenty of time to create the bracket.

If you think you'll get there just before Injustice starts, just send me a message and I can sign you up and you can just pay entry when you get there.

 

[PPJ]

pimpin' jim will be there
dunno about that other guy

 

[darthdragonking]

all i wanna know if i can use sholder buttons for tekken please dont be a troll and just tell me if i can use them or not

Discontinue your disrespectful behavior, and watch your use of homophobic slurs.

Qwark28
There is no need to behave like that towards another member.

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

Any MK / Injustice ladies wanna split a Jacuzzi room with me?

*wink wink, nudge nudge*

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

Man, do I know how to kill a thread or what.....

 

[Letsgetacid]

I'll be there.

Fuuuuuck. If I do go, I'll be looking forward to potentially getting Kitana'd to pieces.

 

[darthdragonking]

I'll be there.

when are you going to gga i wanna play you

 

[Mundungu]

Is there a divekick tournament at this?

 

[BGCallisto]

We will most likely be adding a Dive Kick side tournament to Sunday. Just a reminder, we'll definitely be in need of MK/Injustice PS3 setups; I have both games myself for the stream but we'll need several for running the brackets.

 

[BGCallisto]

Good news! The contracted event that was eating our time on Saturday night has been canceled, which means we will have the venue all night and be able to run finals for Saturday games on the same day. The event will still be a 3-day event, with several side tournaments, casual play, MMs, etc. on Sunday. Guilty Gear and AH3 still on Sunday.

Dive Kick tourney is looking to be on Friday; we apologize for all the schedule waffling but the venue has kinda changed things on us multiple times.

 

[Dizzy]

I'm going to this today. I hope some of you people can make it.

 

[NB Semi Evil Ryu]

If anyone can, bring PS3's with updated copies of Injustice / MK 9. I just happened to get to the venue really early, so I thought that I would help update their PS3's for Injustice. However, it's taking forever to download the updates with their Wi-Fi. Plus, they don't have any of the DC characters.

Therefore, any consoles that you could pitch in should really help.

Unfortunately I guess this wasn't a qualifier for injustice as the event page says "p4a, sf4, marvel, and whichever game gets the most entrants will also be a qualifier" which smash did.

 

[BGCallisto]

Jim I'll talk to Frankie and try to get some confirmation on that one way or another.

Thanks to those of you that were able to make it out, I'm going to be pretty busy with work this week but I'll try to have some videos up relatively soon.

Is there a link to a Challonge bracket for Injustice, by any chance? Or any other link to check out the full brackets?
