Christchurch Fighting Game Tournament

[CptMunta]

Timezone Colombo St in Christchurch are having a wierd but interesting tournament. Just finished the poster for it:



That's right you have to play all three of the featured games to win the tourney:

TEKKEN 5 DR
TEKKEN TAG
Capcom vs SNK 2

The top 16 in Capcom vs SNK 2 fight it out in Tekken Tag top 8 in Tekken 5 DR battle it out for the title.

It'll be interesting to see who the most well rounded player is.

Only $5 bucks to enter and $100 instore credit up for grabs and heaps of other prizes.

Starts midday Saturday the 7th

I don't stand a hope in hell of placing in the Tekken Titles. But it'd be cool to make the top 16 players of Capcom vs SNK 2.

What the...

That's certainly an interesting way of doing things... you reckon there are really enough people that would play CvS2? Unless competition is orders of magnitude more healthy than up here, making top 16 wouldn't be a challenge... it'd be guaranteed!

Good to hear of more tourneys popping up though... keep up the good work!

Wow, you have to play all 3 games.
Just like the wizzard!

I'm guessing this should be APRIL 7th rather than MARCH 7th?

Imagine if Yifan's did this:

"In order to win, you have to play ALL OUR fighting games!"

Seriously though, I think if Yifan's organised some sort of fighting game tournament ( or arcade tournament in general... Pump It Up seems popular.) it would do really well.

And it would probably be pricey, but getting something to run during the annual Armageddon Expos would be really good, I think, what with all the gamers and other nerdfolk.

Zenki, drop them some hints 


Good to see more tourneys though. More medabots, more power! ...or something.

I like the cut of ye jib, me lad... I'd definitely be up for something like that! It really depends on what the arcade owners want, of course, but seeing as they are willing to import games from japan then I think they might be somewhat interested in a tourney...

As Armand van Helden would say, let's make it big like the pyramids!

y'know, the BBS folk have an agreement with the Armageddon organisers - BBS8 was run AT the Armageddon event (though I wasn't actually there for that one, so I hear it sucked  ). Support BBS and support your game of choice, it's a happy marriage.

Man that's a major F'up on my account. Cheers for noticing. Can't believe no-one else I show the poster to spotted it. Maybe they thought I had a time machine or something.

[fluxcore]

Actually, has this occurred yet? If it has, how did it go?

It went okay.

Around 20 people showed up,
It wasn't advertised too well. It was knock out which sucked but I still had a good time. My friend Andrew won the Capcom Vs SNK 2 comp.

I did well enough to get through to the Tekken 5 DR playoffs. I almost bet one of the local top players which surprised me since I have played tekken 5 maybe 3 times (Hooray for random Steve Fox!)

It'd be nice to see another one hopefully with better advertising I should have done some 3D Pavement art outside(I found out too late to run with my posters  )
