    Now that changes everything, I may go, all depends on what that Mystery Retro Game is, can we have a hint Doom? Or even better, can you tell us what it is?

    Anything less than Streets of Rage 2 and Im out.

    Im not dressing up.

    Someone come really early with me to play Smash Bros Brawl, I reckon I could win it without playing in 2 years

    So to make things fair, everyone has to play as Hakan.
    Or Rose.

    Anybody here been before and know if they'll have games running for casuals on Friday?

    Would help me decide whether or not I should take the day off work to head down early or if there's not going to be anything worth doing I can just go down later on.

    I assume there will be casual play all weekend when tournaments aren't running, that's how these things usually go.

    Oooh-kay... We may be running into a little timing and general organisational fiasco here.

    That is to say: if people who are coming along for this tournament can bring along their copies of SSF4 for 360, then this tournament can be done on a larger scale than what our current projections are leading us to believe.

    That's no problem for me anyway.

    Didn't you complain when you missed the sign up at the last anime convention tournament yet happily took the place of another player?

    Suck fun out of an anime con? In my recent experiences with the FG community, they do anything BUT suck the fun out of things. Personally, I think they'll add to the con, anime fans (well, the vast majority) aren't THAT snobby.

    Also, no one really cares that much about it... you sound like you're just trying to stop people coming to Eirtakon >_<

    And anyway, don't fall into "true fan" syndrome there Xinkai. That never ends well.

    You're going for the irony here, right? :pac:

    'Cause that would be wild rich from the guy who showed at Nom-con wearing his god-tier char t-shirt playing aformentioned god-tier char. Where there were like 2 other entrants who'd even played the game before, and neither of us could do anything against THE DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES.

    Not so sure about this, I haven't watched any anime in a long time.

    But I still apparently know more about it than say, your hypothetical average person who moderates the anime forum on boards.ie :p
