Eirtakon 2013- 23 Nov- Croke Park- SSF4AE, UMvC3, BB Chrono phantasma

Doctor DooM

It's that time of year again for the best convention for fighting game players.

I've already been asked to attend and do my recording duties, and the lads have very graciously put all three tournaments on the one day so we can record- and play- them all together, on the Saturday.

I cannot stress how much fun I've had at Eirtakon every year, it's always been the Con of choice if you want to hit just one up as an FG player.

It will also probably be the first BBCP tournament in the country- We may need to loan them copies

Fergus_

I should be there >:3

Doctor DooM

Ah, I'd forgotten Eirtakon was the birthplace of both Fergus and Lythero!

ladnopoka

D4RK ONION

I'll be there, representing Konata and taking photos galore for her!

Keep it here for now, please. Don't want to annoy the games tourney's sponsor by having it published to all the web before their final approval
I'll be making a main news post on the Eirta-site and social media very soon to big it up and to give the sponsor exposure.

I know right? How inconsiderate of my university! You'd think they'd try and avoid conflicts like this...

Can't have everything man, already three FG tournaments on the one day. Divekick has been pulling huge numbers at cons too.

No injustice?

I'll be with the MLP crowd.

Xinkai

Where's Dead or Alive 5!?

hackle serpent

I'm new to the fighting game tournament scene but I should be there and taking part in UMVC3 at least. I look forward to it.

D4RK ONION

That's great! A few of our stronger UMvC3 players should be there, you'll get some great experience

TheMikenyan

Right, I'm gonna have to get the day off for this.

I wish I could but I'm busy. If there is another one I'll cancel whatever I have planned and go if possible. But thanks for telling me about this.

Fergus_

Bumping this since it's on this weekend.

Myself and Yuffie are going.

Xinkai

Giving a panel on Saturday at 4 :P

Doctor DooM

I'm planning on attending Friday night too and recording Divekick.

Always a mad tournament game
