Dandy J Posted November 17, 2010 Posted November 17, 2010 (edited) Columbus Bar Battles: Gaiden - Columbus, OH - January 22nd, 2011 @ MOMO² Hello again! MrBlasty and myself are here again, on the road to Bar Battles 4 this Summer. Nope, this isn't it... Bar Battles: Gaiden will be a...fudge it. It's gonna be off the chain once again! The event will be streamed as usual, with commentary by Ailerus and other alcohol-fueled persons from Ohio and the surrounding areas. The stream will be brought to you in part by ScrubQuotes@Twitter. Shoutouts to polarity. Dec. 20th update - Shit just got real. Things have changed, and we are accommodating in the proper fashion. No surprises there, huh? Here's the lowdown: We are moving the tournament venue to MOMO². I am getting a feeling of déjà vu...I'm sure all of you are familiar with MOMOs by now. Venue info is below, as always.As you probably assumed, the venue cap has been lifted. Space is of no concern. Tell your friends! Tell your family! Tell your kids, tell your wife! Get on the site and register because you don't want to miss this one. Click here to pre-register!The lineup is changing in the interest of time and...interest. BlazBlue, KOF2002UM, RPS, and the 6v6 gauntlet have all been dropped from the official billing. These games (and others) can still happen as side tournaments so please don't suicide, but we are not guaranteeing that they will. In their place we are holding Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike singles and Super Street Fighter IV 3v3 teams (run by Noel 'The Professional' Brown).Justin Wong will be in attendance once again! Here's another chance to have your shot at Justin at the biggest little tournament around. Fugee will be offering a $50 bounty to anyone who can send him to the loser's bracket in 3S, and $100 to whoever can eliminate him!Dec. 22nd update - We have another special guest to announce -- PR Rog is now confirmed!Dec. 24th update - Yet another special guest, Flash Metroid will be in attendance!Pre-Registration - Click here to pre-register! Just like Bar Battles 3, pre-registration is mandatory, but free. If there's players in your local crew that want to come, make sure you let them know as well. You must pre-register to participate in any tournament, period. Dec. 20th update: Don't worry if you registered before, you don't have to resubmit if you're entering SSF4 teams or 3S.Venue and hotel informationMOMO² 2885 Olentangy River Rd.
