Info bump as I can not edit the original post for some reason:

Guys please take note that the SFIV date is now being brought forward to co-incide with Slayers24. The SFIV leg of 3.3 will now be held on Saturday 12/12/09. Casuals will be on all day from 1200 and the tournament itself will begin at 1930. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Does it being part of Slayers24 mean an additional cost?


eSports.ie finally gets back online, I spend all evening posting things from the last week.....and you change plans on me literally 10mins after I post about the Dragonslayers

mr_kyle

Slayers24 is on the 12/12/09 from 1200 and lasts to 1200 the next day. It is open to all members of the public, not just Dragonslayer members and is £8 in for the event.

You must have caught me mid edit. I have added a link to my post. The poster is updated as well, but its taking its time changing it seems.

Doctor DooM

I can edit the original post if you like. Send us a pm if so.
Hoping to fight in this

Jim

Gonna try to get to this as well, finances permitting, but can't really argue with a £8 entry fee, especially with the current exchange rate.

chopperbyrne

I'm fairly certain I'll be there too. Good fun last time and should be more so this time as we all know each other a bit better at this stage.

Doctor DooM

Is this PS3 or Xbox? Any point in bringing one of the doomsticks up is why I ask.

Dreddybajs

It says Street Fighter 4 (360) in the OP Doom. Tekken is on PS3.

The Doom prides himself on his stickular flexability.

It looks like good old bus eireann are the way to go for this.

€22 return (probably cheaper for students) and they travel on the hour, every hour.

Two and a half hour journey.

Can any of the Belfast lads shed some light on how far the Bus Station is from Queens University?

Directions from both bus stations are in the directions link in the OP chap.

Can you shed some light on how far the OP is from this reply?

/getscoat

I'm not invited anymore am I?

fake_roogle

About a 10-15 minute walk from the station.

mr_kyle

The bus from Dublin will leave you guys off at the Europa station. Once you guys are out of the Europa its a straight walk up Great Victoria Street, through Shaftsbury Square (where there is a big television mounted on the side of a building) and up University Road. It is an uncomplicated walk, you guys will be grand.

Not anymore, actually - it was removed a few months ago.

mr_kyle

Well, there goes my "here is an obvious landmark" point.

Yreval

Just got back from coming 4th in T6. After last time this was a pleasant surprise (I still don't have it at home because I'm skint). Hopefully I need not tell you who won.

Quote of the RB:
"Drier than the Sahara Desert, but I'll take it"
-Me after defeating mr_kyle in the winners' QF with almost nothing but Alisa's 1, 1, db+3, ws+1 (which isn't even a combo). It's probably a good thing the knockout stage was reduced to a single game due to time constraints (nobody had thought to bring a second copy of T6) because I doubt he would have let me get away with that a second time. I took a round off you-know-who in a similar manner, but I did loosen up a little once I dropped into the Saxa bracket.

Any results and points tallies from this one?

Its been pushed forward (or back?) to this Saturday I think.

Tekken 6 - 3.3 - 08/12/09
Participants: 15

Top VIII
I. Chuu (Kazuya)
II. V-DecK (Bob)
III. ????? Mound (Lili)
IV. Yreval (Alisa)
V. Nash (Asuka)
V. Tsukiko (Xiayou)
VII. Inferis (Alisa)
VIII. mr_kyle (Bryan)



Vyze = ????? Mound

Childs Play total to date: £76

Yreval

The top two already look set in stone, but the race for 3rd is still wide open.

Vyze = ????? Mound

I thought Vyze had this thing going where he had a different alter-ego depending on what game he was playing - that he went by that name when playing Blazblue and "Pinku Bento Box" when playing Tekken.

I think irish rail are doing a special offer till christmas to promote the opening of the malahide bridge. Info here

Doctor DooM

Personally I'd prefer the train. Creature of comfort lads.

Mr_kyle, would the doomcam be a welcome asset or a hinderance at the tournament?

Gah, only covers day returns.

Actually, went through it there leaving at 1pm on Sat and returning at 1pm on Sunday and its only €20. Might be the way to go, Train > Bus.

Doctor DooM

I really don't think I can stay overnight though... got alot on on Sun. Band stuff.

When does the tournament proper end?

This is why the bus is a better option. It's an hourly service. You could stay overnight and then leave in the morning and be back home by midday.

Jim

First train back on Sunday leaves at 10am and gets in at 12.

animaX

Why is there overnight talk?! Last time we got a train home at a reasonable time didn't we? Is this a different tournament?
