Nope sorry. My brother is getting married that weekend in Minnesota. I will try for the next one in Cleveland but SB seems to be the safest bet at this point. I have a lot going on until school and all that is done for the year.

Hey all, here's the latest scoop. Due to recent events, Joe and myself have decided to end our business relationship with GPX gaming. Because of this, they will no longer be providing us with setups, nor will we be guaranteeing a plane ticket to GAMME. Big Eric from Philly and his crew are going to be covering the setups Manny from GPX had originally promised us, so nothing is really changing. Also, Smash has been removed from the tournament roster for a few reasons. Mainly, there has been a lack of response from the Smash community due to costs for them to come out. Also, Manny was supposed to provide us with setups and a team to run Smash, but that's no longer possible.

The list has been updated to this post from all forums. We're up to 120 people in Super SF4 alone so far! I'm going to start adding people to the event in Tonamento so we can get a total count of the amount of heads coming down for the event. I do have some other exciting news though!

==========

Nick/CasperOne from www.sf4answers.com has kindly donated another $250 to the Super Street Fighter IV bonus pot! That brings SSFIV up to $750 in bonus money! Thanks, Nick!!

There are about 17 nights available in the room block so if you haven't already, please be sure to book a room!!
 
OK guys, I've updated a few things in the first post. As stated earlier today, rooms must now be booked via the hotel's booking manager Christa Nayyar. Her phone number has been added to the first post. She is the ONLY ONE who is able to give the room at the discounted rate. If you try to book in any other way, you will pay $119/night. The rooms are first come first serve and there are 13 nights left in the block, so act fast!

I have also added a tournament registration schedule just above the pre-registration lists. Since most tournaments start later in the day, their registrations won't be ending until much later. Please check the first post for all of the details. I will also be making a stream schedule for those who can't make it. We're aiming to stream every single game on Sunday, so it should be pretty fucking hype!

are these going to be recorded? if anything seb could record them, and then send them to you. i'd really appreciate some live mk with commentary...
 
unfortunately, I'm 99% sure that UMK3 will not be streamed. people don't take the game seriously...

[ edit ] they might stream it after all huh? finals only though... ?

I BADLY wanted to go this but couldn't make it if I wanted to anyway. My brother got married on the 22nd and the wedding was awesome. It was in Mayowood Mansion in Rochester, MN and I have pictures if anyone is interested in seeing the house. It was really neat.

But anyway, I will be able to save up all summer and I'm looking forward to making the next big one to play my buddies IRL. :)

Way to represent all!
