Mindgam3 Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 (edited) This entire post is subject to updates as I find out more information. We’re looking to have everything set by the week before the convention at the very latest. However, you can be rest assured that all of these tournaments are going to happen on Saturday (2/5/11) and Sunday (2/6/11), but casuals will be all weekend long! UCon @ UConn February 4-6, 2011 The pinnacle of academia is not to be confused with the absence of gratification. Alas, the fissiparous nature of such concepts is but a mere construction of your subscription to the media. The (chocolate-covered) quarks of February 4th through the 6th will be the host to an amalgam of scholarly pursuit, daring execution, and the greatest victories that any of you reading this post will ever hope to achieve. If you are of quick wit, you have already grasped what awaits you in the blistery northern campus of the University of Connecticut. Rooted in the digital discourse of the planet, let us celebrate the competitive spirit (again) with some fighting games. Featured Games (We can add/remove games if there is enough/not enough interest. This list is a default guideline.): Super Street Fighter IV Arcana Heart 3 Blazblue: Continuum Shift Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Melty Blood: Actress Again Super Smash Brothers Melee Super Smash Brothers Brawl Address: 2120 Hillside Road Storrs, CT, 06269 Parking: There is a lot across directly across the street from the Student Union and a few employee parking lots that are available after 4:00pm on Friday and onwards until the end of the convention.

Danny Schme Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 I would ask why there is no BB, but I see you used the words "daring execution". Guess that answers my question.
Danny Schme Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 litchi only tournament imo You are a terrible person with even worse ideas.
Mindgam3 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 If there is enough support for BB, I'll add it.
Mindgam3 Posted January 18, 2011 Author Posted January 18, 2011 So, I'm adding Blazblue. However, it's probably going to be on Sunday. I also lowered the registration fee since there were a lot of people who were on the fence about entering but did not want to spend $5 or $10 to play in the tournament.
Why-Disciple Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 WTF NO TEKKEN! GET BETTER AT TEH 3D GAMEZ, CT!
Why-Disciple Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I checked the website, is there seriously going to be a Twisted Metal Black tourney? Dude, fuck fighting games, I want to play that!
Mindgam3 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 I don't think so, but I wouldn't mind running a side tournament or two of cool non-fighting games. Anyway, I've updated the main post with times and dates! Now all you guys need to do is show up. Just a reminder, admission to the convention is free, so you don't just have to play video games while you're at UCon@UConn.
blueNINE Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) I'm in there for that GGXXAC and SSFIV! EDIT: Maybe AH3 too! Edited January 29, 2011 by blueNINE
Mindgam3 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Posted February 1, 2011 I bumped up BB to 12:00pm since UCon@UConn is closing up shop early on Sunday afternoon. Also, we definitely could use extra setups, so if you have a TV/PS2/PS3/Game, I'll make sure to have your convention fee waived since I'm such a nice guy.
kona Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 I'll make sure to have your convention fee waived since I'm such a nice guy. What a nice guy.
