fake_roogle

omg we're over halfway there!! wooooahhh livin on a prayer

Date: Saturday 8th October '11

Location: Queen's University Belfast Student's Union, The Space (1st floor). It looks like this out the front.

Schedule:
13:30 - Casuals
14:30 SHARP - SSF4: AE Tournament

Entry fee: £1, all proceeds will go towards Child's Play, a charity for gamers (http://www.childsplaychari​ty.org/).

Console: XBOX360, maybe a PC setup

Tournament Format: 2/3 Rounds, 2/3 Games, Double Elimination, 99 Seconds, No Handicap. Grand finals will be 3/5 Games, the opponent from the loser's bracket must win the first 3/5 Games to 'reset' the bracket and win a consecutive 3/5 Games to take the tournament.

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.

Button checks MUST be performed before the match (this is especially important if you use an unconventional configuration or use a different stick/controller/converter​, or are playing on the same setup as someone who previously did). Once both participants are satisfied, they must go back to the character select screen to officially start their games.

Any accidental pauses/disconnects are left to the discretion of the offender's opponent. They may opt to play on with no penalty to the offender or take the round. Any accidents that are neither participant's fault will be evaluated at that moment.

It is highly recommended you take your own controller/stick/converter​ for your controller (if you intend to use a PS2/3 stick/controller). We cannot guarantee that we will have a spare for participants that turn up without one.

What about the two other events on this day?

The scene is healthier than it's ever been.

Genuine question, can DS not secure some college funding for some decent recording equipment?

Doctor DooM

Limerick has a couple of hauppagi I believe, and I'm not bringing mine to a pub either way

Yreval

A Slayers24 has just been announced for this weekend, so if you want to stay overnight after a hard day's ranbatting you're in luck.

The Hound

Doctor DooM

I'll book train tickets tomorrow for everyone who wants in, it's usually 9 down and 7.30 ish back.

fake_roogle

unfortunately because this co-incides with a 24 hour event, there will be a fee to pay to be there in the venue (whether or not you intend to stay the full 24 hours), i'll try to confirm and see if i can sort something out

stev0knev022

He was, he just, er, got knocked out in groups.

So Hound now has free entry into CxC twice.

I assume that means they cancel each other out and he now has to pay in as normal?

The closest white wash you will ever see

That super into ultra gives you the moral victory DooM, the only time Guile has ever justified a pair of shades :cool: !

I had a really good time up North!

Thanks to the Northern lads and Roogal in particular for organising this. I'm really impressed with Dragonslayers' setup: Loads of space, loads of screens, loads of machines, practically optional entry cost; all great! I even got to play some Smash Melee

Other thanks go out to:

• Ajirl and Doom for the lift up
• Blinn for the comprehensive 3S tutorial
• Phil for giving me a lift to my hotel, ensuring I didn't die obliviously walking down Sandyrow

Also funny story: While out at the pub that evening, I meet a guy from Newry who claimed to be an "Amazing Street Fighter player" and in particular a "Ryu master".

In the end the score was 11-0 to me using random select only, drunk out of my mind. :pac:

How did you lose those first 3 rounds?

The first one was just awesome prediction from Blag.


The second one I think I held up. It wouldn't be unusual for me to do that

The third one was an amazingly awkward executional error where I wanted to backfist (without thinking I was blocking and backfist means pressing forward) AND managed to slip and hit medium at the same time.

I'm a beast

He has to pay double!

Nah, I guess if he wants to enter a second game as well as SF I'll let him do that!

chopperbyrne

Or you could pass it on to the second place finisher.
