THEN PRE-REG DAMMIT! >:3 Just a little bump in case socal missed this.

<3! Thank you Max! All your advice, from a year back, has made NCI to what it is today. :3

oh yeah, so you are bringing your ps3 right? edit: scott, can you bring anything? ps3? monitors or what-not?

This HAS happened during the CRAZY ASS TOURNAMENT two years ago. Fred rage install'd.

BYOS BYOP And IF you are playing on a PS3 setup, then TURN OFF YOUR PAD WHEN YOU'RE FINISHED!! >:[ Edit: Coopa, send me full-res pic please. :3

And that's why everyone loves Kant...wait, no. D: Edit: Okay, back to business. As of now, we're still short on the following equipment (this includes people who said they 'MIGHT' be bringing stuff): GGAC - 1 TV/CRT - 1 PS2 BBCS - 3 LCD/TV/CRT [Mr. Aquas, you have a cool LCD, but it lags so don't bring it :<] - 2 PS3 - 2 BBCS copies (I am not counting XBOX setups) MBAA - A-OKAY

No, both Dacids were late. He was sent to losers and lost to Zong.

Yeah, you'll get sent to losers first round.

No. In every NCI tournament we hosted, we ended up giving over 10 people byes. It wasn't because they were seeded, but we didn't have enough people. The same thing will apply here. People who sign up late will have to make do with the brackets. We'll try to balance it as much as possible, but the reality is that pre-reg will help us to make a fair n' square bracket. Last minute registration will only put you at a disadvantage since you'll probably lose your seeding and byes. So, yeah, if you decide to be a douchebag and not pre-register, then you're very likely to play against Dacid first round. I'M SURE THAT WOULD BE FUN! :3

No, but if you want to save $2, then you might as well pre-reg. The reason why I'm doing this is because the brackets will already be made PRIOR to the tournament. That way the T.O. Hosts can just focus on the brackets. If anybody decides to do a last minute registration, we can put them in some byes slots. So put it this way, would you like to participate in a tournament two hours late or start ASAP and end ON TIME? btw, that's a HYPE poster coopa.

Nobody, online, knows how to maximize Tsubaki. Nobody, online, knows how to play against Tsubaki. Playing Blazblue, online, is - in no shape or form - high level play. The Tsubaki computer is stupid. You just need to mash DPs and you'll win. Her overhead sucks cause, even on hit confirmation, she can barely get 2k meterless. It's also has 100 frames of startup, so you can punish it with whatever you want. Her deceptive low is nothing more than a gimmick. Gimmicks work on the surface, but will never fly in competitive play. That also go with throw mixups. Her options are so limited, that you only need to guess one of three things: I THINK SHE WILL DO OVERHEAD I THINK SHE WILL DO THROW I THINK SHE WILL DO UNBLOCKABLES All can be beat by doing an offensive burst or reversal. So, assuming both players are of high level equal skill, the only way a Tsubaki player will beat anybody is if they know the matchup better. Nothing more or nothing less.

I see, wait what?! You have no moneys? ;3; But this is the closest we've ever gone to Burlingame! Surely, you can spare an extra $10 :< Edit: Pre-Reg requires $0. You just need to pay up front. I only put those three there cause Haunts can use either a CRT/TV/LCD for the stream. Edit: I just notices that there's only 2 CRTs/TVs for the GG setups. Can anyone bring TVs or what not? O3o

My phone died and I lost all the contacts.

HEY! Dacid still owes me $80! I almost got a bounce check :< Anyways, please give me you email and number.

Haunts stream equipment is brand new. O_o edit: do you know if you're coming scott?

Why are you not pre-reg'd yet mr. squishy?

So are you bringing a TV and CRT? Or a TV that's a CRT?

Thanks Tsubasa. Your efforts won't go unnoticed!

If you can tell me that you managed to DP out of Ragna's Inferno Divider; if you can tell me you trolled every person online by mashing DP; if you can tell us that you trade hits with Litchi and - still - win; if you can IB; if you can mash 2a on hit confirmation; if you played against a Tager who can IB reversal your gatling strings; if you can tell me that you haven't lost to Ragna's Jesus kick; then you - might - have a case. Otherwise, I don't think you're giving Tsubaki players sound advice. Using DP as a good form of hit confirmation isn't a good idea. Actually, using ANYTHING to hit confirm is not good cause it'll leave you in negative frames. Any player who knows how to play BB will just IB and reversal out of Tsubaki's gatling strings. There's a good reason why there's 0 Tsubaki players on SBO. So I'm saying this for your own sanity; play her at your own risk. If you continue to insist that there's nothing wrong with Tsubaki, then I will have to - daresay - call you disillusioned and a complete scrub. Enjoy your online win streaks.

Point taken.

Okay, so Drayne_O and Chun, I'll assume you guys are bringing CRT monitors. Do they have VGA input and/or HDMI?

Best use for 6c are roll tech punishes.

The times listed is when the tournament starts. You have to pre-reg prior to the tournament. I'm going to be giving the pre-reg list to the tournament hosts the day before so they can start making the brackets. If you are bringing setups of any kind, then please come - no later - than 11am! Also, keep your eyes peeled for a Friday casual session before the tournament! Edit: we're still lacking BB setups. Edit2: Uh, I like how we're trying to host a BBCS tournament when we have no setups. Setup and Equipment [Current Count]: Guilty Gear CRT/TVs: 2 PS2s: 3 GGAC: 3 Melty Blood CRT/TVs: 2 PS2: 2 MBAA: 2 Blazblue LCD/TVs: 1(?) - Drayne O says maybe PS3: 1 PS3 BBCS: 2 Extra XBOX: 3 XBOX BBCS: 2 Edit3: At bare minimum guys, I would like to see 3 setups for GG, 3 for MB and 3 PS3 setups for BBCS. Also, if ANYBODY has an Asus EVO monitor that they're willing to bring, then please bring it. We need it for stream - just in case. More setups means the faster we get through tournaments - which means, more time for Shaq Fu. Edit4: The reason why the tournament is PS3 only for BBCS is because Dean already has XBOX setups. I told him that if we were to mash extra casual sessions, then we'll pay him to use it.

And fixed. Btw, Drayne O can you give my your phone number/email. Just send me a pm. Oh and Arifureta and Chun too.
