Just letting everyone know that for the tournament tomorrow all the brackets are now computerized and SF4 is now unlocked with all characters on 6 machines. Direct feed video recording is now up so get ready to have the finals posted on youtube! Also remember that everyone who showed up to our first tourney has thier venue fees waved for this one! http://monstersarcade.net/forums/

We would like for everyone coming to the tourney to verify on our forums. This way everyone can see how many players roughly will be showing up to each of our tourneys. I have a thread up for our 2D and 3D fighting game tournaments now. http://www.monstersarcade.net/forums/

Its not the cost of the CRTs, its the space thats the problem. Its hard to justify a whole other station (one thats bigger than our other ones) for last gen equipment that might be used once a month. That being said if the SF3 and GGXX community is big enough we will. I cant see how it wouldn't be worth it. we just opened and we aren't going anywhere anytime soon. And yes different TVs have different input and scaling lag. I was on AVSforums for days looking at what TVs were the fastest and we got the fastest. Game mode, all advanced processing turned off and no 120hz.

Ya im sorry guys its a strange situation. We have a limited amount of space and in the planning stages we were not to sure about the cost/benefit of putting in last gen equipment. With GGXX having a progressive scan option and with the amount of research i did on our displays configuration there is almost zero lag for that game (running through component that is). Street fighter 3 however is a different story just because the game is not available on any other platform besides dreamcast and PS2. I can tell you this, if we have a good show for the tournament SF3 will be monthly and i will personally guarantee CRTs. I hope to see you guys there!
