Tempest 9 - NewPort Cafe Bar, Paul St, Cork - 26/11/11

Sairus

Sorry about the late announcement. I've been ever so busy and kept forgetting.

As is now the standard there will be a main SSF4 tournament and a side tournament. To celebrate Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3's launch, it will be this month's side event.

SSFIV details:

Entry is €15 to the Street Fighter 4 tournament. If you've never been to a Tempest before you get €5 off your entry.
If you've already been to one you can bring a new player with you and get €5 off both your entries!
Casuals and registration start from 11.00. The tournament itself will start at 13.00.

UMvC3 Details:

The side tournament will cost €5 to enter and prizes will be given to the top two placers.
Registration will be taken towards the end of the SSFIV tournament - somewhere around 15.30 - 16.00.

---

Both tournaments will be run exclusively on Xbox 360s.

There'll be a couple of extra pads on hand for those without, but please bring your own controller of choice if possible.

Anyone who can bring equipment (Games, consoles, monitors, etc) please do so!

If anyone needs to contact me and wants my mobile number, PM me.

Finally, SSF4 is seeded based on previous events. The seed list is currently:



Congrats to Shokashi for finally clawing his way to the top!

Here's a quick map of the venue in relation to the bus and train stations.

It's a typo ^.^ Normally the money is split with the top 2 for the side events.

Jaysus, someone actually read the full rules post.

Fixed it anyways :pac:

raah!

I'll be square! I can bring my xbox too if it's needed. Haven't played in a while, but I'm sure everyone will be extra hype for the upcoming new list of gouken buffs

Sairus

I'll be honest, I am totally uninterested in the SF4 part of this tourney! UMvC3 all the way.

Wouldn't that just be you and Gouke? :P

Good times though. It was nice to see new faces who will hopefully hop on boards or come to more tournies and rep umvc since it's so much more hype than SF :cool:

Thanks man! I've been going with Wesker(otg)/Iron Fist(dragon kick)/Hawkeye(horizontal arrows). Really liking the set up so far but I need to put in a lot more work with IF.
