I think you can but can only play the game when signed into live(which is what you'd be doing),unless there's some DRM I'm forgetting.

Sabre0001

Great tournament. Well run by Azza and co. Got to meet a few of the regulars like Azza, Sdoom, Kiki, Leimrod and a few other names that escape me at this point. Hopefully see you again when you're in there or hopefully LanParty.ie 2 in October.

Good game everyone!

Dreddybajs

Apologies for missing this, slept in embarrassingly late!

Kirby

Set your alarm man! I only got about 3 hours sleep but I was determined to get up and get my ass in there. Next time man!

Sagat06

Owwmykneecap

So Good craic then? i'm raging i missed it.

DarkTalant

ggs to everyone there... the level of competition has really gone up since the last tournament.

Kirby

yeh you missed a belter. Great fun had by all. We even had a camera there to record some of the matches. Ofcourse, Dhalsim is too pretty for camera's so none of my matches were recorded

NeoKubrick

Who won the tournament?

Kirby

A Ryu player from the north I think.... can't quite remember his name coz im totally useless with that stuff. Final was Ryu vs Chun li and was a fairly entertaining match allright.

BanjoB

Simon Guilfoyle (I spell that right?), Mike's brother.
Chun Li VS Ryu; Mike was in Loser's thanks to blag.

I'll try to have most of the matches up on youTube in the coming days.

FoamyMushroom

Good tourny !

The Final was some come back though... Twas awesome!

Next time should be even better... (Just as long as I keep my eye on the dam time of the match......) :rolleyes: lol

Was a good mix up too, I was expecting just shoto's lol (Even though I play Akuma lol)..

Once again great Tourny!

Azza

Hi guys. Well the first community run tournament was over and generally I thought it went pretty well, not perfect but decent.

The results for the tournament where

1st Simon Guilfoyle (Chun Li) Prize money €162
2nd Mike Guilfoyle (Ryu) Prize money €81
3rd Bush (Blanka) Prize money €27

A total of 27 people entered.

Simon won without dropping a match the whole tournament so fair play to him, a deserving winner. Upsets where few and far between but Blag beating Mike in the first stage of the double elimination bracket was a suprise, Mike later got his revenge in the lower brackets later on after Bush pushed Blag out of the upper bracket. Bush put in another good showing coming home third after strong showings in the previous two tournaments. Mike again was super strong but Simon edged him out in quite a tight finals match with an extra life to spare. Strong showings also from Sagat08 who finished 4th and Kirby and Blag who finished joint 5th.

Several games where recorded on camera and we hope to have them posted over the next few days. Will provide a link when we get them.

From an organisational point of view the competition was delayed by about 45 minutes due to people arriving slightly late, we hope at the next event to get people to arrive earliar so we can avoid cutting it as close as we did. It worked out well in the end but we will try to ensure everyone can stay for the full event and catch there buses next time. We will also stick to just real names as opposed to online handles for future events as the use of both caused a small amount of confusion. Tournament went smoothly enough, with one or two minor hiccups due to brain freeze on my part at times. The whole thing lasted about 2 hours 40 minutes. Finished up about 6:25pm. My main concern was ensuring everyone got to complete the tournament before needing to catch a bus and I'm pretty sure that was mission accomplished.


Thanks to everyone who participated. Hope to organise more events in the future.

Special thanks to Leprekaun for organsing the event, taking sign ups, taking care of the entry and prize money, doing the math required, taking care of console rental and loosing to my well timed ex.headstomp.
Thanks to VDeck for helping with seeding and organising the brackets.
Thanks to Ko.KiKi for providing his camera and recording the matches.
And thanks to Kinetic for showing his support to the community.

Kirby

Yeh i remember saying that to ya half way through about the tags. Didn't we have an imaginary player in one of the groups? was pretty funny.

Still, I'm crap with names... so fair played to you and leprekaun for recognising everyone and running it so smoothly. Everybody knew who they had to fight and there was no drama, and thats always a good thing. Have to say I really enjoyed it.

Also, KoKikki is a legend for bringing the camera.

Yeah Im actually really sorry about that imaginary person lol... It was my... Alter- ego... I wrote my name down as Richard but most people knew me as FoamyMushroom lol

Xinkai

yeah rich-er-foamy your an idiot for that lol. GG's to all if anyone imports BlazBlue or has it already on PS3 add me Xinkai_SAF.

Also fair play to all the organizers & hope nothing was lost but pride :P

GG's to all!!!

Azza

Ko.Ki has already posted up the first match. Check it out in the sticky thread for Irish Fighting Videos.

Azza

Just noticed reading back over the thread that a Giant Fail Award goes to both Owwmyknecap and Dreddybajs for there inability to set an alarm clock!

K.O.Kiki

Hmm... despite it leaving me enough time to ensure the camera was setup, I think I've dropped down to the lowest tier in Ireland -- 0-3 yet again
Maybe I should go back to Abel...

Dreddybajs

yo, it won me 600 dollars in a poker tournament so if that's fail i happily accept it

bush

Those 2 brothers from the north are good, ****in hell. I was looking at simon in one of the earlier matches and kinda had a feeling he would win. He played more or less perfect. I was all over the shop, dont want to see the vids.

Dreddybajs

Yep, last time the two of them were down I called Simon vs TheWitch as game of the tournament, and felt that Simon was good enough to win that one - and also obviously that Mike was good enough to win. Glad to see a good Chun player get his win, well-deserved imo. Also well played to Mike!

Leprekaun

Great tournament lads . Great matches too. As Azza mentioned, there was quite a delay in getting things underway which I'd like to sincerely apologise for as it was mostly my fault. I should've randomised the groups the day before but huge thanks to Azza for doing it as quickly as he did. I literally went down to get change, then went to Spar across the street then came back and he said it was sorted, all within a space of 5 minutes.

I'd like to thank everyone for being great to deal with and helping out during the group stages and being patient with my incompetence :P. It helped to slash time down quite due to starting late a bit so can't thank you enough.

I'd like to thank my bro too for his mathematical genius with helping to sort out the finishing touches for the financial stuff which he did very quickly.

Big thanks to Kiki for the camera work. Its nice to know we can display our SFIV talents to the world. I especially eagerly await the comments following some of the hilarious things mentioned during some of the matches

But really, I have to say a monumental thanks to Azza for his help and really, running of the whole thing. He managed the double elimination rounds almost single handedly along with Dan so big thanks to Dan for helping out as well. Azza really was the man of the day so huge thanks for the organisation.

Sorry for the cheesy oscar style thanks but difference, I genuinely mean it :P

I know well now where it could've been better as I missed out on organising some very time consuming things which should've been sorted the day before. So will definitely write out some notes and hopefully have it run without a hitch next time.

So, thank youuu everyone

FoamyMushroom

Who where the top ten? By any chance

Faaaaaaaaather!!!!


Seriously though, it looks like the whole thing was a good success. I must make it along to the next tournie/casual.

blag

Big thanks to Leprekaun and Azza,you did a great job considering it's the first community run event we've had.

Azza,you looked a bit stressed a few times running around getting things in order which I guess affected your participation in the tourney.

Thanks Kiki for bringing the camera,it's nice to watch the matches back(despite the fact they exposed some glaring errors in my matches)

The guys from Belfast were fantastic competitors and it was really good to have fresh competition thrown in there.

Do all of them post on here at all? Or play online?

Reanimemmett

They were talking about the Super Versus Battle Qualifier too so hopefully one of them will post on here when they know when it's on.

I think they stick to neoempire for forum posting and I don't know about online play.I think the Rufus player plays on live as Dardeck but I've no idea about the others.

The date isn't 100% confirmed for the Dramatic Battle. Mr. Kyle can tell you more and confirm when it is on, since he's the one running it.

Congrats to Si and Mike for making it a brotherly 1-2 and to Dan for coming 6th. Good stuff. I would've loved to go down but sadly I work Saturdays and there's just no way for me to get them off with begging and pleading like a slave.

We tend to stay away from SFIV online since the online is beyond ****.

Once a date is set most likely Mr Kyle will post it up here.
