Saturday 23rd October- Gaelcon- SSF4 tournament- beers

Doctor DooM

Hey guys,

It appears Gaelcon are running another SSF4 tournament this year:

Saturday

Morning

Super Street Fighter IV

format: 2/3 Rounds, 2/3 Games, Double Elimination, 99 Seconds, No Handicap Console: PlayStation 3 Rules: If the players do not agree on a stage within 15 seconds, the match will be random stage select. Winner must keep the same character, but can select a new ‘Ultra’ in game 2 or 3, but has to pick the ‘Ultra’ before the opponent picks theirs. This does not apply to blind pick.

However this year we've had no contact with them, so this is all I know about it. No point in asking me questions!

I know most of you will probably be at the Tekken tournament (which I will prob head into if SF ends quick enough) but more importantly, the other forum I mod, Nocturnal, is having beers on Sat night, feel free to join me in the Globe if you wish.

I think I've been to Dublin far too many times this month already. Gamer Expo will be all for me!

But... it's not a convention if we don't fight, Sairus!

You could bring the VSHG as well cause I'll need to borrow a stick as well.
(Must buy rediculously expensive fancy custom stick)

Unless someone else has a PS3 stick I could borrow for the weekend?

Will there be SSFIV casuals?

BourketheJerk

I would be able to go to this but i also don't have a PS3 stick

Doctor DooM

Someone with another PS3 stick please come I don't want to have to bring two



Besides everything else I'll look like a madman

There's also the first Project FI.G.H.T.S. tournament on that day, running Alpha 3.

Just think how cool you'll look when you're in the pub with two sticks and a fightpad.

Doctor DooM

They got back to me.



Tournament starts (roughly) at 11.30. Registration begins at doors open which I think is 10 am.

Orim

I remembered thatI have the stick for powerful games so I'm set for this if I do make it.

Owwmykneecap

where is it anyway?

Doctor DooM

D4 Hotels, Ballsbridge.

Using this thing called google I ascertained it's €14 for a day pass.


Seriously lads!

Possibly there could be a small 1 or 2 euro additional charge for the tournament itself.

Orim

There's also a handy website that generally has Street Fighter events covered.

Ken B

Sorry lads, I wasn't really in a position to be searching through the net at that particular time (hence the brevity of the posts).

But I knew that someone would give me the helpful info I needed....


Ps: I never saw anything about this until today and I have been on SF.ie several occasions this week, as the webchatters will attest.

Orim

I announced it a little while ago. I meant to do a recap post today as there is lots on this weekend but never got around to it unfortunately. If I get a chance I'll try squeeze it in before work tomorrow.

It was in the events plug in on the right side so that's a tip for ya.

Oh and I didn't care about you asking the questions. I just thought it was funny that you asked the question Kneecap had just asked.

Doctor DooM

Sorry if I came across tetchy, you would too if you had to look after you lot :P

Anyways, I have both a TE and the VSHG for PS3 in my bags.

I also have le Hauppagant du recordant les violence dans le rue quatre..


What I am saying is I'm hefting a load and it'd be cool if people could show up so I've not wasted my time.


Also, be aware we've no swing at this event, if you turn up too late to register thats it unless they're in the mood to help. There's no Dan to ring at things like this.

Don't worry Doom, I'll be definitely be there and appreciate you bringing up all that stuff so us xbox players can play. Cheers

Does that mean we can use our XBL controllers?

Again, I simply don't know- the website says PS3 so to enable people to play I am bringing a PS TE and my VSHG. That way, no one should have to play without a stick. If you're someone who is especially picky about sticks you might have to put up with it a little but hey, they're both sanwa sticks so you can't say fairer than that

I'll be at Gaelcon too with the HRAP.
