Osirun Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 @rei: BBCS teams can happen after singles if there is interest, time, and space. It's just not something we're going to promise on the lineup. So if you want it, get the other BB players to make some noise after the singles tournament ends. @Circuitous: Yep, Team Sp00ky! Our stream is going to be excellent, and we're also getting NerdJosh, Arturo, and supermin coming along with Spooky.
Osirun Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Pre-Registration is now MANDATORY. We want to ensure a smoothly run event for everyone, and mandatory pre-reg will push us one step closer to that goal. If you do not pre-register you will not be allowed to compete in any official PU2011 tournaments.
Dingofist Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) Oh, Spooky's doin' the stream now? Awesome! This event is looking better and better. EDIT: Whoa whoa hey wait. I just learned that last year's mystery game for charity was Fist or Twist: what are the chances of that happening again this year? Edited March 17, 2011 by Dingofist
Osirun Posted March 18, 2011 Author Posted March 18, 2011 Fist or Twist will probably not happen this year. It wouldn't be a Mystery Game Tournament if you had any idea what was coming! : )
Dingofist Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 Ah well, I can dream. I'll just have to set up a ghetto Fist or Twist station under an overpass or something and hustle passers-by in seedy, illicit money matches.
Osirun Posted March 19, 2011 Author Posted March 19, 2011 lol Once stations open up for casuals I'll let you know. Or you could put together the Fist or Twist hotel room tournament at the LaQuinta! Leave the door open and let them see the glory.
GZ-Matthias Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I'd be willing to run a BB:CS team tourney if there is space, time, and interest. I've been wanting to play a team tourney in this game for a long time!! The support for GG and BB at this tournament is looking really weak. Where are you guys? I know MVC3 is all the rage now, but post up if you're coming. Make sure you register online!
Circuitous Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 I'm gonna try to make it, just got to get $50 between now and pre-reg deadline.
Kamui Moon Posted March 19, 2011 Posted March 19, 2011 i'm generating hype in real life matthias. i need to pre-reg though
Dingofist Posted March 20, 2011 Posted March 20, 2011 I have every intention of giving the Fist or Twist La Quinta tourney a go. If nothing else I can return to my room and drown my tears in it after getting obliterated at BB. Gotta get my group's funds together and I'll be reserving a room sometime next week, hopefully. I wasn't going to enter GG before, but I feel a recent necessity to participate and show the world that people still play it. If that means I can't afford to enter Marvel, so be it!
Osirun Posted March 20, 2011 Author Posted March 20, 2011 Generate interest with all the people you know! Thanks much, everyone : )
doragonkoroshi Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I'm interested in this. Just haven't been on DL in a while. Guys, we need to play GG some more. I guess I'm just talking to Eric here. Mac leaving was a real blow to the community:( Eric, I guess Paul and Matt are coming, right? Is Sean in his "play fighting games" mode or his "I don't play fighting games" mode? Edit again: I'll try and get Donpatch to come out. And Dizzy Necro will probably be there, but I don't know if he'll play GG. Edited March 21, 2011 by doragonkoroshi
Osirun Posted March 22, 2011 Author Posted March 22, 2011 Had the first conference with Sp00ky regarding the stream / game scheduling. The tentative schedule has received an overhaul. To see the current schedule and for any final revisions, go to the PowerUp 2011 Event Details page
Dingofist Posted March 22, 2011 Posted March 22, 2011 That new schedule actually looks pretty awesome as far as a stream is concerned. Especially since it almost guarantees GG/BB get plenty of stream-time. Always a plus, far as I'm concerned.
Kamui Moon Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 is anyone else in charge of brackets for gg yet, nathan? i'll do it.
MacArthur Blunts Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Seriously thinking of getting out there for this.
Osirun Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 @Dingofist: I personally am hoping that the SSFIV/MvC3 finals get finished early enough to allow for lots of BBCS and GGAC streaming as Sunday comes to a close. @Kamui: Doragonkoroshi is already on board to run GGAC, but thanks anyway! @Mac: Hope to see you at the event, good sir.
doragonkoroshi Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) Hmm, so far for GG, we got... Me Havok Paul (probably) Eric Delpheus (pretty sure) Chase Magic ThatSlyMoogle Kyle Kyle (Circles) Tad (Kyle said) Dingo fist Face (probably) Dulyanna Looks pretty great so far I'll hold off on adding Mac for now. Face and them will be there but who knows if they'll play. I'd love to see Avi and Dandy J in there. Edited April 13, 2011 by doragonkoroshi
Dingofist Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 What's the plan for SF4/MvC3 on Sunday? Top 8? Top 4? Something bigger? Hopefully if nothing else all that nonsense will be over before GG/BB finish up. Hopefully Tekken and MK just stay on an alternate stream or something....Tekken streams tend to bore me to tears. But then...what do I care? Not like I'm gonna be at home watching. I haven't registered yet, but I'm definitely down for GG as well. Little extra money in the pot if nothin' else. :D
Osirun Posted March 23, 2011 Author Posted March 23, 2011 SSFIV/MvC3 finals will probably be Top 8, though it does depend on number of entrants. T6 and MK will probably not be on an alternate stream, our internet connection at the arcade is pretty much usable only with one stream setup : ( I'm hoping for at least a couple hours of GG/BB stream time after finals for the Saturday games conclude, and I'll push for it with SpOOky. If it doesn't happen then I'll have PowerUp staff taking video of you guys and the crowd can be the commentary : ) Remember, the first pre-reg is always the hardest, but once we see a couple people on GGAC it might convince some other people to play!
TheSlyMoogle Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Matt, Kyle will be back in time for powerup. I plan on being there for sure.
Effenhoog Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I'm trying to come to this. That saturday is my father's birthday but I at least want to make it out Friday for the MBAA tournament and maybe GG teams if there is a team desperate enough to take me.
TheSlyMoogle Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Burn son. You should just promise your dad to spend the next saturday with him instead. If he was a cool dad he would understand your need for gamin.
doragonkoroshi Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 I'm trying to come to this. That saturday is my father's birthday but I at least want to make it out Friday for the MBAA tournament and maybe GG teams if there is a team desperate enough to take me. Man. Yeah, if teams happen at all that would be great, but we probably need more than 3 GG players present if we want to do GG teams. Also, regular GG is on Sunday. You should do that instead of Melty Blood just saying. Sean said he might come but he makes no promises, so I won't add him yet, but if anyone was hoping to see Sean there's hope. Also thanks for confirming, John. I figured since you were back in KY you'd make it, but hadn't heard from you yet so didn't want to jump to any conclusions. Wonder if Josh Balla will be there.
