Let's see what is wrong with this picture.

Catering to MK players is one of the hardest things to do. They whine. They complain. They want everything their way. And we haven't even gotten into the game yet.

To recap:
This tournament has been posted for months.

You asked for PlayStation 3, we gave it to you.
You asked for Hitboxes being allowed; we gave it to you.

Now you are complaining about the time? Really?

We have to leave the venue by 10pm. Renting this venue means not wanting to be there running tournaments until 2am-3am. You have to be insane/idiotic/moronic/high on everything imaginable to think that MK with super long matches should start as the last game of the night.

The very REASON I scheduled it at 12pm is because of how long I have seen these tournaments take.

By the way, you realize EVO has had pools at 9am and 10am before, right? This is about scheduling OUR tournament so WE have time to RUN IT EFFICIENTLY. Apparently you aren't aware of this aspect of it and are used to MK players playing in the bathroom at other tournaments.

Have you been to one of my tournaments or an MWC before? Probably not. We run them fast and efficient. We don't settle for "players" trying to make the rules.

The fact of the matter is we want people to come but I'm not moving around schedules so three guys can "show up" at 8pm while the other 20 or so guys who already made plans to be there at 12pm can be pissed off based on your "principle."

This is precisely why of all my years playing MK I can not understand how MK players act the way they do about the gameplay, complaining about sticks, controllers, buttons, tournaments; etc. This isn't even a gripe, it's a well known fact that the MK community is sort of a laughing stock because of this and it's embarrassing for me as an MK player sometimes to even say I play MK and I love the series but some of the players can just be ignorant beyond belief.

Our rules are final. The only system we're even running PS3 is MK catered specifically because you guys state it being the "standard" even though the development team even scratches their head about it AND I am allowing hitboxes for you guys but that's all I have to say on the subject. Come or don't come but don't lecture me on scheduling "times" on a game. We have a schedule to abide by from renting the venue and that's that. Complain at EVO for their early "pool" assignments too why don't you? They've had them in the past. Have people wake up earlier or something or spend the night before. It's not too hard to figure out.

How are people going to play at EVO? Pools start on Fridays, I mean it's pretty black and white here. Big tournament, 3 day event, lots of stuff going on.

Also about the "pads" for MK2 and UMK3; It's a 16 man side tournament guys. I'm not bringing out Jamma converters just for a 16 man tournament. We did this before and people who said they would be there weren't so it's not happening.

GoldenOreos will take it from here..
I would be visiting the area to spend my money and play in the tournament if the time was different. Look, you can theorize and say the MK Community are crying, etc. all you want. Truth of the matter, is that it's doing you no good from a marketing or economic standpoint because it doesn't change the fact that many others are going to be in the same situation I'm in.....which is not coming. No matter what you say, the time needs changed and I'm hard pressed to believe that you honestly don't know that.

I want to go to this tournament but I have a slight issue. I will have to fly in that morning and fly out the same night due to a prior engagement. The latest flight I can get is at 9:55pm. This might be cutting it close to make my departure flight. Will anyone with a car be willing to give me a ride to the airport? This way I wont have to wait for a taxi to arrive. I will provide you with gas money.

It's too bad I don't play MK9. It's tough for me to get hype about MK2 on a cabinet with a handful of players.
yea but u should still come out man, not like u cant support the old school MK's. im thinkin about bringin my X36o setup for UMK3 and MKII casuals bc im not awesome on stick either.so regardless we can get some games in. im runnin the mkii and mk3 brackets so once thats done whoever wants to throw down on some console play ill be down. not everyday u get to play offline in those games so i hope u show up man.

I have a couple questions...

Is that the correct address? B/c out next to it it says that it will be held "nearby".

Also, when do you think MK will last to?

yes thats the right address it says near by bc it might have been n anoher location within the mall but now it eill be for sure in the arcade. IDK how long mk will last bc it depends on how many show up and if players just turtle it up against each other. all depends on the players, but we will be getting people on setups immediatles after one is finished so if everyone doesnt derp around it should go smoothly and fast.
