Street Fighter AND Rock Band? This is just cruel! If I were to come could I just do all the instruments myself and add my scores up? :P

D4RK ONION

Speed Boat

This sounds great. Think I shall attend. Best get practicing!

FoamyMushroom

Any up dates for this?

A-Trak

Entry fees, tournament structure, (Groups, single / double elimination etc,) sign up sheet and who's signed up so far.

All help create hype

Azza

If they don't have there own sign up list we can do one here if its needed but entry fee and tournmanet details are need.

But yeah who is interesting in going to this?

FoamyMushroom

Im up for going no problem at all! wheres the sign up sheet? :P

chopperbyrne

Sorry, some of us were off playing in international tournaments all weekend!

We'll get working on proper updates tomorrow.

Dreddybajs

I'll be there

Sairus

Ugh. Hopefully I'll be at this but college just aint letting up. Shall try my darndest.

chopperbyrne

Entry fee to Vaticon is €8 so we'll be charging €5 for the comp, which will all go to prize money. May be only top two as it's likely to be a lower pot than normal, but that's not a definite yet.

The main issue we need addressed ASAP is who can bring consoles and TVs/Screens as they are not sure how many spare they will have for us.

Usual rules for the competition apply:

- Use of Turbo/Auto Fire is prohibited.
- Use of Programmable Controllers/Macros is prohibited.
- All characters are selectable.
- Matches will be best 2/3 and set to 3 rounds.
- You may only change character directly after a loss in a best - 2/3 set, but can pick any character you want at the start of any set. (Blind select can be provided if requested)
- It'll be groups into double-elim and the seedings of our RanBats will be used for the group stages.

Any questions feel free to ask and myself and Jim will answer as soon as we see them. (We're organising it if you didn't know that yet.)

Dreddybajs

I can bring an Xbox I'm pretty sure, not a TV though.

Cobelcog

I might head down to this. I have no idea where this place is, though. How accessible is it from Connolly train station?

Dreddybajs

There's a bus from O'Connell St., at least. It's about 30 minutes from the city centre I think.

Ramza

Is this a one day event or over two? If it's one day I'll see about making it

chopperbyrne

SF IV will be just one day (Sunday), but I believe the whole event runs Friday through Sunday.

FoamyMushroom

Is there a proper time table for this?

Working on it. Will probably be 13:00 to 18:00 for SF IV.

Jim

Anyone else willing to offer us some hardware? Its all for a good cause!

Sagat06

If i can make it I can bring a 360, but no tv I'm afraid.

Speed Boat

I plan on coming to this.

I could bring my projector if there is a suitable wall(smooth and white!).

It has no sound though so we'd need some speakers or whatnot.

chopperbyrne

Wasn't this a sticky thread earlier?

Doctor DooM

Twas, jimothy asked me to desticky.

FoamyMushroom

I can bring my xbox and a fight stick, for who wanted to bring a projector, I can bring a 10 watt guitar amp or so if that'll be ok?
