Upstate New York Major: Showdown at the Sheraton. 9/11~9/12 BB:CS, SSFIV, Tekken 6..

[Zero Reputation]

Hey Dustloop community we here in Upstate New York are trying to support the BlazBlue community that has kinda been dormant for the time being. With the release of Continuum Shift coming out in late July we hope all of you guys on the East Coast will come out to our tournament. Last year we had a pretty decent turn out for out "Put Up or Shut Up" tournament but we hope to have even more for this, so please give our event consideration.

Also I'm not quite sure about BlazBlue format though. Sometimes I see 2/3 rounds but other times I see 3/5. For now we have 2/3 as a place holder but if the community suggests otherwise we will switch it to whatever you want.

I promise that BlazBlue will not just take a back seat to Super and the tournament will be run on time according to what is being posted.

Thank you for your consideration.

Team Upstate, the Sheraton Syracuse University Hotel, and E-Gamer's exchange bring you the first true major in Upstate New York fighting game history.

Team Spooky has been kind enough to come up and stream this event so get hype this whole tournament will be streamed.

I'm going to assume this is still going down? I'm noticing a distinct lack of a pre-registration page. Anywhere else this is posted? Also, we have any idea of numbers? That's a college city so I'm sure there will be a bunch of walk-ins but I'd rather avoid the drive if it's going to be a bust.

no MBAA? weird.

guilty would make this worth 2 days but...nah.

Registration is FINALLY up. Damn that was way more of a challange than it should have been.

Well you can run a Guilty Tournament if you want. We have a room dedicated to side tournaments, money matches, and casuals. We will provide the TVs and stations all you need to do is bring the games and you can run MBAA Guilty or whatever you want. I know I have Japenese compatible PS2 with boot disk if people want to run Melty. We would have thrown offiicial tournaments for more games but this is our first time running an event of this size so we didn't want to spread ourselves too thin. So what we are doing is giving everybody the tools to run any tournament they want with whatever rules they want in this side room.

Anyway, thanks to everyone who is giving this tournament a look. I personally really like the game a lot and was the person who pushed for us to run this. Hope to see some support for BlazBlue at this tournament.

If someone runs Guilty Gear, then I think I will make it to this. It's a very promising event, and I hope you'll add that game!

One day away. I know this thread didn't get too much attention but we do have a good amount of BB:CS pre-registrations. Thanks for all those who decided to come and you wont be dissapointed.
