Info bump as I can not edit the original post for some reason:

Guys please take note that the SFIV date is now being brought forward to co-incide with Slayers24. The SFIV leg of 3.3 will now be held on Saturday 12/12/09. Casuals will be on all day from 1200 and the tournament itself will begin at 1930. Any questions, feel free to ask.

Sabre0001 · 05-12-2009 12:21AM

Does it being part of Slayers24 mean an additional cost?

eSports.ie finally gets back online, I spend all evening posting things from the last week.....and you change plans on me literally 10mins after I post about the Dragonslayers

mr_kyle · 05-12-2009 12:23AM

Slayers24 is on the 12/12/09 from 1200 and lasts to 1200 the next day. It is open to all members of the public, not just Dragonslayer members and is £8 in for the event.

You must have caught me mid edit. I have added a link to my post. The poster is updated as well, but its taking its time changing it seems.

Doctor DooM · 06-12-2009 02:45AM

I can edit the original post if you like. Send us a pm if so.
Hoping to fight in this

Jim · 06-12-2009 12:57PM

Gonna try to get to this as well, finances permitting, but can't really argue with a £8 entry fee, especially with the current exchange rate.

chopperbyrne · 06-12-2009 04:19PM

I'm fairly certain I'll be there too. Good fun last time and should be more so this time as we all know each other a bit better at this stage.

Doctor DooM · 06-12-2009 04:47PM

Is this PS3 or Xbox? Any point in bringing one of the doomsticks up is why I ask.

Dreddybajs · 06-12-2009 04:49PM

It says Street Fighter 4 (360) in the OP Doom. Tekken is on PS3.

I bring my SE up if that's any use to you.

The Doom prides himself on his stickular flexability.

chopperbyrne · 08-12-2009 01:04PM

It looks like good old bus eireann are the way to go for this.

€22 return (probably cheaper for students) and they travel on the hour, every hour.

Two and a half hour journey.

Can any of the Belfast lads shed some light on how far the Bus Station is from Queens University?

Directions from both bus stations are in the directions link in the OP chap.

/getscoat

I'm not invited anymore am I?

fake_roogle · 08-12-2009 02:20PM

About a 10-15 minute walk from the station.

mr_kyle · 08-12-2009 02:48PM

The bus from Dublin will leave you guys off at the Europa station. Once you guys are out of the Europa its a straight walk up Great Victoria Street, through Shaftsbury Square (where there is a big television mounted on the side of a building) and up University Road. It is an uncomplicated walk, you guys will be grand.

Not anymore, actually - it was removed a few months ago.

mr_kyle · 08-12-2009 03:32PM

Well, there goes my "here is an obvious landmark" point.

Yreval · 08-12-2009 11:59PM

Just got back from coming 4th in T6. After last time this was a pleasant surprise (I still don't have it at home because I'm skint). Hopefully I need not tell you who won.

Quote of the RB:
"Drier than the Sahara Desert, but I'll take it"
-Me after defeating mr_kyle in the winners' QF with almost nothing but Alisa's 1, 1, db+3, ws+1 (which isn't even a combo). It's probably a good thing the knockout stage was reduced to a single game due to time constraints (nobody had thought to bring a second copy of T6) because I doubt he would have let me get away with that a second time. I took a round off you-know-who in a similar manner, but I did loosen up a little once I dropped into the Saxa bracket.

Sabre0001 · 09-12-2009 11:37PM

Any results and points tallies from this one?

Its been pushed forward (or back?) to this Saturday I think.

mr_kyle · 10-12-2009 12:00AM

Tekken 6 - 3.3 - 08/12/09
Participants: 15

Top VIII
I. Chuu (Kazuya)
II. V-DecK (Bob)
III. ????? Mound (Lili)
IV. Yreval (Alisa)
V. Nash (Asuka)
V. Tsukiko (Xiayou)
VII. Inferis (Alisa)
VIII. mr_kyle (Bryan)

Vyze = ????? Mound

Childs Play total to date: £76

Yreval · 10-12-2009 04:13AM

The top two already look set in stone, but the race for 3rd is still wide open.

Vyze = ????? Mound

I thought Vyze had this thing going where he had a different alter-ego depending on what game he was playing - that he went by that name when playing Blazblue and "Pinku Bento Box" when playing Tekken.

I think irish rail are doing a special offer till christmas to promote the opening of the malahide bridge. Info here

Doctor DooM · 10-12-2009 01:42PM

Personally I'd prefer the train. Creature of comfort lads.

Mr_kyle, would the doomcam be a welcome asset or a hinderance at the tournament?

Gah, only covers day returns.

Actually, went through it there leaving at 1pm on Sat and returning at 1pm on Sunday and its only €20. Might be the way to go, Train > Bus.

Doctor DooM · 10-12-2009 01:48PM

I really don't think I can stay overnight though... got alot on on Sun. Band stuff.

When does the tournament proper end?

This is why the bus is a better option. It's an hourly service. You could stay overnight and then leave in the morning and be back home by midday.

Jim · 10-12-2009 01:56PM

First train back on Sunday leaves at 10am and gets in at 12.

animaX · 10-12-2009 02:45PM

Why is there overnight talk?! Last time we got a train home at a reasonable time didn't we? Is this a different tournament?

Last time we missed the end of 3S because we had to go.

This is a 24hr thing they're doing. The SF IV tournament is just a part of it.

Ok thanks. And I just saw the second post now

Looks like it would have to be an overnight thing which makes it a bit less appealing unfortunatelty

Doctor DooM · 10-12-2009 02:52PM

Yeah I really need to be in Dublin Sun morning... but I also really want to go to this.

chopperbyrne · 10-12-2009 02:54PM

Well we won't need accommodation.

Just get a few hours kip on one of the comfy sofas.

You are very welcome to bring it chap. A combination of Dan, Roo and Mike will be your tournament hosts. I will not be there due to other commitments. So just let them know your doing it on the day, it will be cool.

Considering this (????? Mound) is what he wrote on my notebook after scribbling Vyze out, I assume this is his name of choice atm.

Jim · 11-12-2009 01:24PM

What's the best method of getting there for everyone then? Personally I'm totally down with getting the train and then the first one back on Sunday. But if people want to go a different route I'm easy either way.

I'll go on the train with you. Might get the last one back that night, assuming I get knocked out.

blag · 11-12-2009 01:59PM

What time are you guys aiming to get to Belfast at?

I don't know what time I'll be there but I'll try and make it for when you're there for some casuals before.It's about time I got some Doom matches in!

*Cracks knuckles*

It's time to go upriver

I would say we'll be up for casuals. Would be a waste coming up for 7.

Orim · 11-12-2009 05:30PM

Right, I'm coming.

I vote for the train. You can relax more then on a bus.

What time are we going to head up at?

Good stuff,I'll probably be there around 5 for casuals and sure there'll be literally all night for casuals after.

Cobelcog · 11-12-2009 05:43PM

I wouldn't be staying for the ranbat but I'll gladly go up during the day for some casuals if people are arriving early enough.

Doctor DooM · 11-12-2009 06:09PM

I'm on mobile. Is there a train about 3?

chopperbyrne · 11-12-2009 07:29PM

I'll go with the flow. Has anyone checked if the train has any seats available?

Doctor DooM · 11-12-2009 08:00PM

there's one at 3.20. Seats still there. I reckon we have a winner
