Confirmed Tournaments: Guilty Gear XX Accent Core 3 on 3 Guilty Gear XX Accent Core 1 on 1 Blazblue Calamity Trigger 1 on 1 (PS3) Planned Tournaments: Guilty Gear XX Accent Core , SBO-Qualifiers The situation: Since the list of games for SBO’10 has not yet been announced, nor have we gotten any information about if Europe is getting any of the qualifiers, but do know that if all this falls in place we are going to do everything we can to yet again host the European-qualifiers for the game we all love, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core. As usual, no pad-players allowed and you have to be able to pay for all the expenses with your own money, planetickets, hotels, etc. etc. and be willing to go to Japan for 100%. Still, we don´t know that much about SBO’10 yet so you can stay calm, for now! Entrance Fee: 100 SEK to be payed at the event (around 9 euro) With this a place to sleep, fridges we share, showers and the annual TIME OF YOUR LIFE is included. Tournament Fee & Prizes: 20 SEK per tournament (Around 2 euro) Bigteam-battle is free All the money goes too prizemoney, where the winner of a tournament takes 2/3, second place gets 1/3 and 3rd place gets his/hers 20 SEK back. Tournament Schedule: TBA Later in January, but most likely Guilty Gear-tournaments will start on Saturday, Blazblue on Sunday. And most likely, a bigteam-battle on Friday night. Tournament Rules, Guilty Gear XX Accent Core: General rules: * Timelimit 99 *No gold/ex/shadow-characters allowed * Kliff and Justice are banned * Once you have selected a character in any tournament, you may not switch for the duration of that tourney. * To the extent that it is possible, the American version of GGXXAC or GGXXAC+ will be used. * If one player accidentally pauses the game, that player loses the round (opponent gets to use IK on opponent) * If the game were to crash, players have to replay the match that they were on. Say they were playing the second round of the second game, they don’t have to replay game one, but they have to replay game 2 from the beginning. Singles: * Best out of 3 matches, 3 rounds * 8 pools, top 4 advances to single elimination-bracket. 3vs3 Team: * Best of 1 match, 3 rounds * No same characters in one team * Tournament-format: Single elimination-bracket Tournament Rules, Blazblue Calamity Trigger * Timelimit 99 *No unlimited-characters allowed * Best out of 3 matches, 3 rounds * 8 pools, top 4 advances to single elimination-bracket, might be rescheduled into 4 pools only depending on the amount of participants * Further needed rules about glitches and bugs are being researched Awesome roster: * Shinjin, Xzi, Lazze, Yonasu etc. have already said that they are coming! As usual, every country that plays Guilty Gear (and Blazblue) has said that they are interested, and historically Showdown in Stockholm-events has always drawn players from all across the globe to compete and to decide the destiny, this year will not be an exception! Have a great time, enjoy great games, talk and chill with great people! You should definitely come! The Venue: Same place as the previous Showdown-events, aka the Showdown Hall (a school in Stenhamra close to Stockholm), yes we are sticking with the same FAMOUS place as last time!

Ronove Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Cool, I shouldn't be too busy in May. If I manage to find a cheap plane ticket with RyanAir I might atleast consider partecipating for the BB event

Ronove Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 If you don't mind I'll link this to the italian community at Arcade Extreme, there's the possibility that other players might be interested in showing up besides me.
Shinjin Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Please do! I did not know where you guys hanged out so I didn´t know where to post! Feel free to copy/paste/link and whatever you please, as long as you don´t change any of the vital information =) It would help out alot! Cheers
Ronove Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I'll just link it here to avoid I miss out anything. Our community is at www.arcade-extreme.com, by the way.
Ronove Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Question: is there any chance to see CS rather than CT? [edit] found a plane ticket from Milan to Stockholm Arland's for €20 x2. I'm still not 100% sure I might make it but let's just say this prompts me to go. Any cheap place/hotel/cave where us foreigners can spend the night?
Shinjin Posted February 24, 2010 Author Posted February 24, 2010 So sorry for the late answer! I completely missed out on this thread! Ronove: You can sleep at the venue during the event (friday & saturday) and if you need a place to stay on sunday there are hostels for around 200SEK (20EUR) We are currently discussing CS & CT. The question is if we can get enough setups for CS, and if it even is practically doable to hold a tournament for it. We'll get back with info ASAP.
Yonasu Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 I believe the decision has been made that the tournament will be Calamity Trigger.

Yonasu Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 Note that the 3rd place match for 3on3-teams was never played because the Russian team asked for it to be postponed, and then everyone was too exhausted on Sunday to remember it needed to be played. The finnish/swedish team claimed it as they were the last to leave the tournament site. :p Awesome event, will post my shoutouts on bitterharmony as always.
HolyBadSanta Posted May 11, 2010 Posted May 11, 2010 I can t wait to see the France VS Sweden SBO match.
