Depends on when I get my first paycheck, but I really want to make this. How many setups will there be? And how much time will we have for casuals?

Frank, are you bringing heads from NC?

Nah, just obvious when someone brings up mashing D that they don't play BB, so they have no room to start shit talking a game they don't play. Some combos are EZmode, but that's not the reason why the game is bad. But real talk... at Summer Jam some DOA players came over to the BB area and just started talking shit. Keep that out of this thread and NEC please. Last thing I need (again) are some assholes getting players angry for no reason, and slowing down brackets because everyone is distracted yelling at one another. Thanks.

Someone can't beat shitty Nu's I guess.

http://www.frame-advantage.com/ These guys look like they're going to be responsible for stream/recording.

Go MM people in SF4. I hear you're pretty good at that now.

People have expressed interest that we should hold BB teams as the main event, while having singles as a not so main event. What this means is that teams would be dealt with more seriously while singles would be put on the back burner in terms of the order of things. Also, singles would not be streamed, but teams would be (unless for some odd reason we had time to stream both... doubt it). If I know BigE well enough by now he'll want to do what YOU guys want to do. He always holds the players first because he wants you to enjoy the weekend. I'm the same way, I'll run whatever you guys want to run, as long as we have time. With that being said... If we do teams first it will be 2v2. No exceptions... 3v3 gets too stupid with people either missing or too busy with another tournament. We'll run teams first, then in the downtime between teams and after top8 streamed we'll run singles. If we do singles first... we'll do everything the same way it was going to be in the first place: singles run first then teams (3v3) before/after top8, just like Summer Jam. As far as entry fee goes, if teams were run first, I'd assume teams would be $20/team while singles would drop to $5/person. What do you guys want run first: singles or teams? My personal opinion on this is that although teams would help the balance issue (somewhat) with BB, teams tournaments always tend to be less hype in my personal experience. My vote would be to stay with singles first, keep every entry fee the same ($10 for singles) then run teams (either 2v2 or 3v3) as fast as possible to maybe stream top 4 or something. We're a little more then a month away from NEC so this might have come a little too late, but I'd rather hear your opinions first along with your vote. If I don't get enough feedback on this BB will remain in the priority of singles first, teams second.

Eric, what are you doing about the stream? This place http://www.livestream.com/ has pretty good basic service (better then basic ustream and justintv), but you can get the premium for $350/month, which I think gets rid of the viewer cap and gives you better bandwidth for uploading. I don't know who is running the stream or how important it is to you, but you should look into this. Edit: Also, which brackets do you plan on having me run Eric? GG and BB? I'm sure people will help me run brackets, but you're probably going to have to stagger the starting times for BB/GG by a couple hours.

I can see the headlines now: "Video game tournament never commences, players opt to 'slow their roll' instead"

I was wrong. Listen to Kyle.

I'm pretty sure JackG (the Hakumen forums moderator) is from Ann Arbor. One other guy with him was from there, but i forget his name. Just send him a PM.

Commander, at SB4 this weekend there were two guys from Ann Arbor that played BB. You should try to get in contact with them.

Crowded Friday nights. It's fun depending on what games you play. I think SF4/Marvel/Tekken6 always have a good crowd.

Yo Biscuits, 10stars has SPARE HRAP cords. Send him a PM or post in the NJ thread. He'll probably sell you one cheapz.

Thanks for the games guys. I won't fuck up next time getting there.

This. E.X.Slayer.

Listen Ahmaad, I'm really happy for you and I'm gonna let you finish...

HOW CAN SHE SLAP? http://www.bindass.com/dadagiri/dadagiri.php We need a show like this in the US.

This.

Thanks again Chaz for hosting. What you did was awesome for the community. GG's to everyone, and thanks Zidane/Tinshi for helping me out with the Anji matchup, along with just pointing out what I should start doing in general.

It's a new fighting game called Most Blacks: Always Angry. You should play it and main Archetype Earth, she's probably your style.

You know I'm talking about the sandwich right? The Fat Hoe is a Fat Sandwich from the grease trucks Rutgers.

I'm not cool enough to play in NY... I help you guys all the time too XAQ and Alz: right now I'm in the middle of getting a job so my weekend are free until further notice. After seeing you both at BBG I want to start traveling to NY every so often to get some games in. Maybe meet you at CF then follow you to somewhere else to play since I suck at getting around NYC. I'm always on IRC so just hit me up. I could even stop at RU and get a Fat Hoe or something... Personally I thought the NY crew jumped off the face of the earth except for Alz (since he was the only one still interested in traveling for tournaments). Even though I can't hold it against you guys since not everyone owns a car and most of you have jobs... Jersey is lacking right now and I need somewhere to play GG/MBAA. Stay classy NY.

Eric, add me to MBAA. Thanks again.

Kyohei is too good to want more money.
