How about "Street Fighter Sucks Cuz Leprekaun Doesn't Win"

mr_kyle

XGC Dublin Ranking Battles :pac:

Kirby

Yeh that makes sense....but should we include XGC in the title? I mean, its not free and stuff.

We have guys coming from all over the country, so how about the All Ireland Street Fighter championship? I'm not a GAA fan or anything, but it has a nice ring to it.

Dreddybajs

No reason to put XGC in the name imo.

Kinetic^

FCI - Fighting Championship of Ireland
BOI - Brawlers of Ireland (not the bank )
NSA - No Scrubs Allowed

I think because it is both the venue and the business of the owners that let it happen on their premises is reason enough.

Kirby

Yes but, we are paying for it. Its not free. So on the off chance this takes off and becomes a permanent fixture, its free advertising. Its not a big issue but the point is there. I mean, have we gotten any discount? I know somebody mentioned that last time and was going to ask but I don't know if anything came out of it.

And no Three Letter Acronyms please. TLA's are confusing. :pActual names are good.... people can tell what it is without having to ask what the acronym means.

Dreddybajs

Yeah as far as I see it, we're paying for their service and that's it - no need to give them free advertising. It's not like we're bound to the place in any way, and if a different venue was found where we could use PCs instead I'd wager we'd be going there instead.

mr_kyle

Boards.ie Dublin Ranking Battles? Seems the next most obvious choice. Might be some sort of issue with using Boards.ie though.

Dreddybajs

As posted on the previous page we can't use the boards name without permission from the admins.

Kirby

Street Fighter 4 Irish Tourney or SFIT for short. .

Or just SF4 Boards tourney. Not using the .ie so we arent getting anybody into trouble so I cant see an issue with that.

I missed that (obviously) =/, its well late early however. Well if you won't call it by the venue the event is run in, and you can't call it by where/how it is organised then I simply suggest Dublin Ranking Battles. At least that covers all the bases of where the event is likey to be held for the foreseeable future.

Dreddybajs

Yeah that works imo, as long as we're actually holding Ranking Battles. :pac:

Bit silly calling it a tourney when this encompasses casuals too Kirby

Kirby

Well we dont really need to "name" the casual meet ups do we? It takes hardly any effort to organise and set up. The tourneys are a big deal with lots of time put in so i assumed thats what the name would be for.

But we could call the casual that too....just do some free tourneys or winner stays on every week etc under the same name. I like Dublin ranking battle but we have lots of players, including myself, coming from outside dublin so I think ireland would be better. After all, its not like there are 30 people showing up for tournements with cameras every few weeks anywhere else.

There is an issue with Ireland Ranking Battle - that name equally applies to the Belfast tournaments as well. We have had people from Manchester and Newcastle over. But I do not name the event UK ranking battle, because thats what the guys at Neo Empire do.

blag

I think Dublin Ranking Battles should cover it.Yeah,around half of us are not from Dublin but that's where it is so it makes sense.

I suppose thats a good point. Calling it Dublin because its where its held is also a good point.

Should we put that name to a vote? I like it anyway.

Sabre0001

I'd avoid using the boards.ie name for another reason - it's not just limited to boardsies. If you include it, people may feel that it's just for that group. And some of the NeoEmpire guys use their own thread to register...

You COULD use the XGC name if they were to give ye perks for that usage - cheaper / free consoles, other supplies, etc. Ye've given them a fair bit of business so far and I can only imagine that increasing. Only problem is then if ye decide to host it somewhere else (depending on contracts...well, just in case )

Dublin Ranking Battles is nice and simple. Once people cop that it's for anyone who shows up rather than just Dubs.....

L31mr0d

slow day in work... here are some sigs you could use as a logo for whatever name you choose.

EDIT: Why not call it RoI Ranking Battles? In case it ever moves outside of Dublin.

K.O.Kiki

Ah, but we have the lads from Belfast coming down to show us how to play properly, so that wouldn't work fully now.

Also, putting Ken in a logo is possibly a violation of copyright.

As long as no one is making money off it, I don't think it'd be an issue.

I'll knock together a b/w drawing if we need a mascot... wouldn't be the first time:

Retr0gamer

I'd prefer Dan in the logo.

Azza

I'd prefer Retr0gamer as Sakura in the logo! :pac:

Yeah but I thought we where naming it based on it's hosted location. So a logo with the colours of that location would be the same thing. All of the official "National" US sports feature a logo with the colours of the American flag in it, regardless of the nationality of the players that participate in it.

Sagat06

Dan giving his thumbs up, wearing a green and orange suit with a white belt... that would be awesome!!

^ It really is a thing of beauty

Azza

Nice thats the logo pic taken care of. The name is still up for discussion.

And Creature, Blags name made perfect sense. You got owned you no showing noob!

Owwmykneecap

Republic of Ireland ranking battles.

Or simply Street Fighter IV ranking battles.

Boards.ie or XGC are no nos, partly because of copyright but more so because it has nothing to do with them

Dublin is a bit narrow, plenty of us aren't dubs...and its not like there are other ones going on.

To have a proper name you'd need a proper website imo.

Or you could hook up with neo empire and try be their ROI wing...

also avoid flags for logos.... A name or word logo is much more desirable
like evo's which is very simple.

This make the most sense.

Leprekaun

Or to simplify it more, how about just Eire Ranking Battles or how about Phog ma thon ranking battles :P

Doctor DooM

Hi guys,

Could you please continue this discussion here. Thanks!
