Glacial Super League Season 2 Session 1

Sabre0001 · 03-10-2010 11:10AM #1

The 2nd weekend in October creeps up on us and brings with it the first session of the Glacial Super League. This will be the first of six sessions for the season. Once again, the sessions will take place on the 2nd and 4th weekend of the month.

Edit - Two exceptions to this. I was concious of October being busy but there probably is TOO much on the 23rd. So first session will be a taster and will show people where they stand before session 2 a month later - plenty of practice time. Also, the fourth Saturday in December is Christmas day - some people may have better things to do than this (not me personally

) so January will have two sessions.

Cost & Prize: Once again, each session will cost €8. €1 of this goes into a travel and entry fund for Inferno (February) while €2 goes into a prize pot for 1st-3rd. Entry also gets you a ticket for the raffle (outlined below).

Season Dates:
Session 1 - October 9th
Session 2 - November 13th
Session 3 - November 27th
Session 4 - December 11th
Session 5 - January 8th
Session 6 - January 22nd

Couple of changes over season 1:
Payment will be taken before the session starts. This covers the timeslot of 1-4. If people are playing casuals after this, they are welcome to...but they will be paying themselves.

At the time of payment, a players details will be taken (name & number). This is for a Season 2 raffle. Each attendee has a chance to win the Street Fighter Movie Collection on DVD - the more sessions you attend, the more chances you get (one ticket per session).

Do not use the machines for casuals when the tournament is on. Either check what match is next for you (people know how the fixture list works / know how to read) or watch a match in progress. We are a small group so it would be nice to have some sort of audience for matches. Plus, it results in hold-ups.

Points caused an issue the last time. This time, points will only be awarded for finishing positions.
Points:
1st: 15
2nd: 12
3rd: 10
4th: 8
5th-8th: 6
8th-16th: 3
16th-xth: 1

Any questions or comments, post them here. Also indicate if you will be in attendance please...Must get some posters too (ones that show all dates so that they can be in constant use / if a new place is found, they are still good!)

Doctor DooM · 03-10-2010 11:18AM

Sabre I think a tournament on the 23rd is a mistake. There's already a Street Fighter and Tekken tournament and Gaelcon on that weekend.

Sairus · 03-10-2010 11:20AM

No

I'll try and be up for the first week. Doubtful I'll make it for the second session though.

EDIT: Also, I agree with Doom on the Gaelcon overlap.

Sabre0001 · 03-10-2010 11:28AM

No

Changed to two sessions in January. Maybe you'll make the second session after all Sairus

K.O.Kiki · 03-10-2010 03:14PM

Uncertain

I'll be at Wheel of Hype, I think.

Robbknoll · 03-10-2010 06:47PM

Uncertain

Glad this is kicking off again but seen as its on saturdays ill never be able to make a session over work. Only work weekends now over college.

Burning Eclipse · 03-10-2010 08:01PM

****ing college/work, taking away our Bison!!

I'm there, with bells on. My Chun will dominate the landscape and destroy all opponents... I've been taking secret lessons from Farz ever since I saw that video of him beating DooM, so there!!!

Sabre0001 · 04-10-2010 10:20AM

No

Ah work, ruining everything since the beginning of time!

Any design-y folk out there who could potentially make up a poster - one that is relevant regardless of when it is put up (i.e. details all season dates).

Other details -
Venue Information:
Moviedrome,
Kyle House,
Henry Street,
Limerick

All sessions start at 1 and finish at 4.

Sairus · 04-10-2010 02:44PM

No

I'm not great at this whole poster stuff. That's Farz's turf.
Tell me changes and they will be made.
Forgot to leave a large enough cutting border around the edge. Woops. Will fix that later.

Burning Eclipse · 04-10-2010 03:30PM

No

That is great stuff Sairus!

Sabre0001 · 04-10-2010 05:01PM

No

Looks really good Sairus. What size is it / what is it scalable to? Can you send me the current so I can do a test print to see readability, etc?

Sairus · 04-10-2010 06:33PM

No

It's made for A3, though there's some pixelation on the logo and background. I'm still trying to find higher res versions of those to try and slot them in.
EDIT: Found a larger logo
Here's a full size file for print testing: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VCJ428Z5
Edit: Full size with better logo: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XD9QH6M4

Mr. K · 04-10-2010 08:47PM

Wow Sairus, that's a magnificent poster!

As for Saturday, I'll be there.

No

Awesome poster is AWESOME. I'll be there

Sabre0001 · 05-10-2010 02:05PM

No

Excellent! Going to get a few posters printed shortly! All are welcome to print them out and stick them up......EVERYWHERE!

Generic_name and Darren will also be along - confirmed by text.

Burning Eclipse is going to XBL message Matt.

D4RK ONION - any interest from Hotaru or Rickimon?

Sairus - any other Cork heads about?

The Dublin folk have kept quiet so far

And of course, then there are the others that we have not witnessed as yet!

I'd like to come, but I'd only ever be in Limerick mid-week, and not on a weekend.

I'll try and grab you guys for casuals next time I'm down though.

Doctor DooM · 05-10-2010 02:21PM

While it's not my game, I think I should go support the Wheel of Hype.

If I get a chance, I will be down later in the season though!

D4RK ONION · 05-10-2010 03:18PM

No

I may bring Ricky, just for the laugh

Sabre0001 · 06-10-2010 09:43AM

No

Thanks for publishing Orim!

Burning Eclipse · 06-10-2010 09:49AM

No

Misty... Try to make it! Sairus is coming up from Cork, so you know you're not making the trip alone! Plus, none of us have any experience against a Juri player! Think of all the good it will do!

Sairus · 06-10-2010 10:03AM

No

I haven't heard back from any of the other Cork lads yet. Hopefully a few will come, but I cant guarantee anything!

Sabre0001 · 06-10-2010 11:17AM

No

Looking like decent numbers anyway - hopefully a good start to the season! Bringing the camera again Sairus? Others are welcome to bring video cameras / regular cameras (or make use of all the mobiles that have cameras) too!

Sairus · 06-10-2010 11:21AM

No

Yar, my camera shall be in tow as usual. This time with all the right connection pieces so we wont need selotape again

Sabre0001 · 06-10-2010 03:05PM

No

Was in the Crescent today trying to spread the word - shops are a lot less willing to put things up than I remember. Gamestop took one (and the assistant was very enthusiastic - hopefully he makes it in) and managed to put a couple up on bulletin boards (they stand out!).

Must hit town and U.L. next - probably tomorrow.

Misty Chaos · 06-10-2010 03:06PM

Hey there,

Just to let you know I intend on being there too. ( I was the guy who selected uncertain ) I was just looking at my funds and I should be able to come unless something pops up in college. ( and I can get out of bed on Saturday. )

Sabre0001 · 06-10-2010 03:21PM

No

*claps hands joyfully*

Any chance you could get a couple of posters printed and put them up in college? I can reimburse you, unless you are really stuck in which case, no hassle. Alright if I then give you some posters to take back with you?

Looks like everyone could get a prize this weekend - posters to stick up!

I can't afford to be printing anything right now, sorry. I'll still be more than Happy to take a few posters home with me on Saturday.

Robbknoll · 06-10-2010 05:31PM

Hey sabre if you want to send me on the poster/flyer i can put them up in college. PM me and ill send you on my e-mail.

Also curse you all! This sounds like its gonna be a great session.

EDIT: Ignore this just saw previous page with download.

Sabre0001 · 06-10-2010 09:57PM

No

Thanks Robb! Pity you cannot be in attendance...

Sairus · 07-10-2010 08:08AM

No

Ack. I just realised I actually cant make it this week >_<
I'll slap some posters up around Cork though, so hopefully that'll wrangle up a replacement =D

FutureGuy · 07-10-2010 08:24AM

No

I was in Game in town and spoke to someone. They normally don't take posters but might take flyers. Having said, we have a very professional poster, so we might be lucky. There are a few SF players in there.

HMV in town have a notice board for music events-there is still space...perhaps we could get one up there. The staff in the gaming area are friendly too.

Not sure about gamestop but Ziggy (manager) is a very sound bloke and, again, there are SF players there.

Outside of the main gaming hotspots, you'd probably get a poster up in the Gathering without hassle.

I was thinking, if we talked to the staff of one of the stores about running a event in one of their stores. Game ran a "beat the staffr" sf4 event last Saturday. If we put up a prize and anyone that beats one of our players, they get entered into a draw for a prize? We could get alot of publicity!

Sabre0001 · 07-10-2010 11:03AM

No

Cool Tony, I will head into them (may not actually get the chance today

). The 'Beat A Player' sounds like an interesting idea if we can get the word out - again, requires a lot of publicity (and may be harder to get the word out than these sessions).

Need a good prize - hopefully not too costly

(we'll just try and take Ryan Hart's record!)

Konata · 07-10-2010 11:16AM

I've been coerced into transporting a certain player to this, so looks like I'll be there too

Sabre0001 · 07-10-2010 11:55AM

No

Excellent - we have found Sairus' replacement

Playing, yes? I'm curious to see this Ryu after reading the Good Games thread.

Tried to get a bit of practice in last night...Once again, these online ranked matches did not go great! Always a good boost before a session.

Sairus · 07-10-2010 12:04PM

No

I suppose I cant argue with upgrading to the newer beardless model.

Printing out some posters here... man, next time I make posters I'm going to make them black and white then hand colour them myself! XD Much cheaper!

But what about our untalentless promoters - me! I can never stay inside the lines...I will make a request for a Chibi style poster at some point though

Ah yea, sure I'll give it a shot :P I'm still learning (oh SO MUCH to learn >_<) but hey, practice is practice right?

Doctor DooM · 07-10-2010 02:28PM

You know if any of you ever want a practice session perhaps even now including a few vids I've done that a good few times for Future Guy and would gladly for any of you either.

And so. It begins.

At Glacier League Season 2 Session 1, I, FutureGuy, do hereby pledge NOT to play Ryu in any of my games. Except Onion. maybe.

It's on motherb!tches!!!!

I have my Akuma U1 perfected.

Jokes aside, I will play as a new character tomorrow regardless of how I fare.

Sabre0001 · 08-10-2010 10:40AM

No

I heard you've been doing a bit of Akuma (going to show me up ridiculously easily!) and DeeJay recently. Both interesting characters - much more than that snorefest Ryu (:D)

Your new character KILLS honda.

Use his projectile from range and when he jumps you may either use ex d u k or crouching roundhouse as AA (with a little range). You NEED to be unpredictable with speed and timing of the projectile because On1on is used to my Guile.

I'm pretty sure his U1 can punish a couple of flavours of headbutt. Try the different strengths in training.

I was also able to defeat On1ons Makoto pretty clean with him two after 2 or 3 rounds. Alternate timings of his projectile and remember sobat is armour breaking so can restrict his ability to focus or ex dash.

I'm planning on playing one of 4 characters tomorrow. Viper, Akuma, Deejay and Fei Long. Whoever I choose in game 1 will be the same character throughout. Hype.

DooM only ever wins cause of the lag (:P) My Makoto will kill whatever you can bring tomorrow Futureguy

Kara-Karakusa and axe kick BnBs await you. SEICHUSEN GODANZUKI!

Just a little something (I wish I could say it was just thrown together but unfortunately, I'm not practiced enough for that

).

Under a min; hopefully you enjoy!

I was going to complain about Matt beating on Rose in his clip, but nature took its rightful course by the end

Misty Chaos · 08-10-2010 04:41PM

Its a damn good thing Ireland now has active Google street maps and I was able to check where exactly Movie Drome is!

Anyway, if anyone else is traveling for the first time to this, here is the map I produced, courtesy of google maps.

A = Limerick Station

B = Movie Drome
