shad0whiei Posted August 31, 2011 Posted August 31, 2011 I'm assuming this is where I should put this. I am starting up a by-weekly event in Beaumont, Texas. It's going to be hosted at our local arcade for now but may move in the future. Just depends. We used to have a huge Guilty Gear scene back in the day, and even decent scenes for many other games (Soul Calibur, Mvc2, etc.) but resently its been quite dead. I'm hoping to revive that big deal scene again, if not create a new one. First couple of tournaments I'm going to be testing each game based on how I've seen the newer players in the area gathering around and go from there. I will make sure to do the 2 most popular games with the best turn outs at least one of the tournament days in the month and keep up with a seasonal ranking styled system for those. The other two tournaments will be pretty much up for request or randomized. Whatever the scene wants. So if Blazblue and SF4 are most popular, its going to be broken down sorta list this for the month - first weekend tourney - Blazblue and (insert random game here) and second weekend SF4 and (requested tournament). I haven't quite figured out what the prize for the "season" winner is going to be yet, depends on what I can work out with the arcade at the moment. Only a couple restrictions due to the arcade being a family entertainment place. Gotta lay low on cursing and such. And at this time the only tournament I cannot have is Mortal Kombat 9. Older seem to be fine. This may change but at the moment its how it is. They do have a tv I can use for console tournaments in the back and had a decent turn out for Mvc3 at release. I can run a tournament for whichever games I currently own and is on Ps3. If you wanna request a game or tournament, you are more than welcome to provide the game/console or both. Providing one or the other will net you free entry, but still have to pay venue and if you bring both then you get in completely free. For console tournaments there may or may not be controllers and arcade sticks available - prolly safer to bring your own controller if you own it. I will try to have at least one or the other for the tournaments for use but can't 100% get both. As far as this first event, we are doing Mvc2 and Tekken 6 first. Two weeks after that I plan on Blazblue CS2 & Mvc3 probably, both on ps3. I would do SF4, but I only own up to Super and the arcade doesn't have a dedicaded SSF4:AE machine yet ; ; So for now here are the details for the tourney coming up. If you have any questions or comments, I'm more than happy to take everything into consideration and try to help build a scene in our area again~ Just gotta work with the arcade for the most part. Tournament on September the 17 - Saturday Mvc2 - $7 to enter - pay per games (50c a game) - double elimination - 70/20/10 prize - 2p.m. to finish Tekken 6 - $10 to enter - ($5 for venue, $5 for the tournament) - double elimination - 70/20/10 prize - 5p.m. (or whenever Mvc2 is done if it last longer) to finish registration for Mvc2 ends at 1p.m. and Tekken 6 ends at 4p.m. Place: Tilt - Parkdale Mall - Beaumont, Texas (Right off the freeway I-10) The Mvc2 is an actual Arcade machine and the Tekken 6 is on a xbox-hybrid arcade cabinet so both work a little different ; ; tl;dr - Mvc2/Tekken6 Tourney on September 17, 2011 at Tilt in Parkdale Mall.
