No Guilty Gear (accent core)? There were gg tourneys back in 09 and earlier, I believe. And I doubt there would be any shortage of entrants.

Also it was quite a large letdown when the person running the SC1 tourney was lacking in knowledge of how to run a tourney, and openly refused any help that was given to him, then waiting until things messed up before taking said advice. Also the whole having a pretentious know it all attitude didn't help him either.

Do you know who ran the ran the SC tournament?  I will speak to the PC Gaming section to see what they can do to have this issue resolved.

His name was patrick, I have some friends who are staff who also complained about him.

eGaming was pretty good like every other year. The PC gaming however was quite the letdown. I can understand no admin on the computers since theyre owned by staff, but it does cause some problems if the owner is not around when something that needs admin needs to be done (updates, downloading maps, etc.)

well look how many ppl we had over 100 plus ppl for that tournament. And keep this in mind we almost max out with 128 ppl. yes it was a long tournament.

There might have been that many sign-ups, but there were a TON of no-shows, which led to lots people waiting around for a very long time while byes were handed out like candy. I realize that the organizers can't force people to show up to their tourneys, but I think at least some of this could have been alleviated had they not skipped the check-in process.

It doesn't matter if there was a check-in process or not, even having a full 64 man bracket would have taken hours. You need to cut them some slack.

The only character that has no chance against top tier would be Tager.

In the heat of the moment, would you really want the safety to be on. Pulling out your weapon only to find the safety on could mean the difference between taking down a criminal or getting shot because you forgot your safetey was on.

So much misinformation by someone trying to "educate others". I never read that the officer involved had a glock. If this *IS* true then, that makes it even worse. The trigger on a glock is insanely heavy and you have to WANT to fire a glock to fire it. If you pull back the trigger like you would a standard fire tazer then a glock WILL NOT FIRE. He either pulled it full force out of shock(which is impossible based on proof of the video even in that horrible quality), or he pulled the trigger all the way back. In which case there is 0 way he couldn't have realized it was his glock and not the tazer. And you're wrong about police not having fire arm training. All officers have mandatory fire arm training.

I don't know where you get your information from, but standard issue Glock triggers are notorious for being light.

So is there going to be a tournament this year for SF4?

If so, I'm down.

No, you're not allowed to enter  :P

There will be a copy of Blazblue available, so tourney is possible

What do you expect on a board for an anime convention? If you want to talk fighting games with people who play them, go to SRK.

Good luck at trying to hit Seth out of a 2 frame throw.

If there was anything wrong with any of the machines, you could have called Eric and he would have came by to fix them. Last year some of the fighting game machines were messed up and he came pretty fast after we gave him a call.

As for the arcades, Eric from OCE from what I understand does most of it, if not all. Matt, Eric wants to keep it all American and we've asked him numerous times to consider using JP sticks but it's easier to keep everything American.

As for pricing, Eric is also in charge of this. The fighting games were all 50 cents, up from the usual 25 cents when they're at State. It's obvious he raised it because people at the con would be willing to pay the price he set. I don't expect him to lower the prices as long as people at the con make him lots of money.

Sync is weaksauce, and Nerina doesn't count

MBAC's enough to keep me happy. :3

I agree that SCIIIAE would have been fun though.

MBAC? Nobody cares about this stupid game  :P :P :P

ok so everyone likes a certain game but you don't have to bash on it. yes Melty blood does favor more of the old school 2d fighters but what anime base 2d fighter isn't? You be surprised how many people like Metly blood. Just go ask japan they do national tv tournaments with this game. Be a little open minded dude. Don't hate the game if you don't have any support to back up your claim. 

I was kidding, I am the best Ciel player in Norcal

I play in the SU at SJSU a lot. I play a bunch of random ass characters, lately Alex has been who I've been using.

KO using Makoto with SAIII is epic lulz
