faultydefense Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Guilty gear in houston? I don't really have an excuse... I may be able to help at the venue if you still need volunteers Ranma.
Scottie Yosh Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Might make it out to this~ Let's play GG/P4/BB!
r0b0t Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 This thread should get stickied, since Planet Zero is no longer involved, this was a great tournament in the south back in 2005 and I believe it will be revived with original support from the original founders of Texas Showdown, Javi and Chris Chou.
Ranma0005 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Posted February 26, 2013 Guilty Gear side tournament will have a $400 bonus pot added to the prizes
Ranma0005 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Even though GG is a side game, we're going to try to give it some stream time.
TheBlackSNAKE Posted March 4, 2013 Posted March 4, 2013 It looks extremely possible that I'll be attending this for GG, possibly p4a. Flight + hotel combos are looking pretty good at the moment.
TheBlackSNAKE Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Anybody planning on going to this? It's getting very close to the date and I see nearly no confirmations for guilty gear. Also, is that pot bonus for guilty gear confirmed?

Blossomforth Posted April 8, 2013 Posted April 8, 2013 Yes I have talked with the Tournament Organizers and the pot is confirmed. Wow! This guy can't be serious!!
DaiAndOh Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 What are results for GG and P4? SRK only has up to t8 for each.

Scottie Yosh Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Need to play more gear.. GGs and shoutouts to everyone who was there!
DubiousCurvLoop Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Woah, FD trumps Blacksnake!? Was this a Venom mirror?
TheBlackSNAKE Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 FaultyDefense trumped me quite handily, and yes it was a mirror match. GGs, FD, I learned a lot, hope you did as well. More shoutouts when the official thread goes up.
faultydefense Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 Ill put up a results/shout outs thread for all the animu games when I get back tomorrow. Many ggs were had
Kurumster Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 All these bad gear players Edit: I mean washed up
ultimatefaust Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 i played terribly. jumping at people with j.hs instead of j.s ,k. -.-
Kurumster Posted April 16, 2013 Posted April 16, 2013 It's okay. Everyone is out of practice. It's still fun to play it at tourneys though. I had fun watching people play. We should've played casuals in Gear instead of P4 at Barfights.
