    You totally should, you should score a few wins too as long as you don't run into one of us early on.

    Seriously, that's almost as bad as the time they tried to run a 1v1 tournament for GG Isuka.

    Would you like to explain how so? Usually the Sunday morning is a very slow time at the convention, even more so given that stuff is going on in the bar until half 12 the night before, hence why we don't expect that many people there and we can easily schedule it for only an hour and a half.

    I'll enter the SF tourney aswell - unless there's some seriously awesome anime stuff on at the same time. Anime beats SF hands down I'm afraid :p

    Well, there are a couple of panels which clash with it, depending on what you're looking for though...

    Oh the time scale seems grand, I just thought everyone had dropped CT in favour of CS.

    If anyone from up north is heading down, I should have the US version BBCS (on PS3, so no need to worry 'bout region locks) by then that I'd be happy to pass on to them for the weekend to then pass on to you guys and you could run that if you prefer?

    Sorry if I came off as snarky in the previous post, I'm just a hella big BB fan and want it to be as best represented as possible by running the latest and more balanced version! Plus you can run with the "play it before it comes out in Europe" angle! :)

    I was was thinking that as well, either that or get fishy fingers...Scooorrre

    Vyse has a point, anyone that enter the bb tournement in nom con either already had cs and wanted that to be played, or else it was new people who didn't even know about what blazblue is. So it seems right you put cs as the tourney game, and also the play before it comes out will allow people to try the new characters.

    We're assuming they have PS3s to use. They may only have 360s.

    In the interests of getting new people, we should all only play fighting games at the con in full costume, then tell anyone who asks that we're part of the "Irish Fighting Games and Cosplaying Community".

    You have to play to your audience.
