AvT Wellington LAN January 2011 - Cash prizes!

[CaptainHook]

Yes I need to organise getting at least one dual modded stick but I have no Xbox yet so it hasn't been a problem as there are always sticks I can use at Giga.

If you get stuck, it's most likely you could borrow one of mine to take down. Just bring it back in the same condition is all i ask.

[Chuckk]

Considering going to Welly for this but even if I do will probably on show up for SSF4 and then bail as Suzannah and I have been looking for an excuse to go to Wellington again but she won't want to sit around a LAN all weekend.

Question regarding sticks. I only play on sticks, I can't even get my head around playing pad as I have always owned a stick and/or played in arcades. In your FAQ it says you have to bring your own gear but mines all PS3 and this is on Xbox so I can't. Any chance there will be sticks provided by the organisers or something?
If I can't use my PS3 gear and there are no sticks provided by the organisers it's pointless me thinking of entering.

The stick issue would be a concern for me also, for identical reasons more or less.

Also Mason, if they get the attention of Tekken players either by TZ.com or Timezone, you will have a VERY hard time winning Tekken 6, so at least that would be worth entering while yeah, SSF4 if noone comes down from Auckland haha I can't imagine there being much real competition.

I gots two dual mod PCBs in that order so putting one into my stick is one, perhaps I could on sell the 2nd to someone else (Chuckk?) to make two...
I know Fang has a few Xbox sticks, Barnstorm? Rug Dr? BBOY?

People are usually pretty generous with lending them, I'll offer mine up for use whether I play or not.

Graeme and you others that I trust. I don't mind you guys using my TE for the tournament. I'm sure we could get 2 sticks easy.

The Tekken arcade scene is pretty dead in Wellington, there are about 4/5 players left and even then some of them only play using their free games. I think there'd only be 2 people willing to pay the $50 entry fee.

Man, why is wellington FG scene in decline, everywhere else seems to be doing pretty well...

Not enough coffee machines in the arcades?

[Sparzx]

Cheers Kim, I'll post there 

@Fluxcore -  I thought Wellington was a huge hub for gamers. Maybe it's just Halo and CoD players haha.

If need be, I can see what I can arrange in terms of sticks. I'm more than happy to bend over backwards for gamers to attend an event. 

[zos'la]

mmm I am hoping to see some competition in the SSF4 tourny. Would love to go :>

Update on numbers as requested

Been a bit hard since our community is mainly Halo / Call of Duty players

Tekken 6:
Carrot Bum
KING48 NZ
Ya Mum007
Slaughtr Destny

Super Street Fighter IV:
Rudeism


We would LOVE to see you all there, myself especially (you'll probably see me running around non-stop like I was at xLAN )
We don't need payments through at the time of sign-up, so if you're planning on coming but paying in December, just sign up ASAP so I can work timetables

P.s. Mason, you said you're coming, sign up, ya goose! xD

[massi4h]

OK guys payments close in 12 days so better hurry up and get in. Currently looking at flights but if anyone wants to drive down we could have like a big NZism van or something, that'd be pretty cool.

And you guys already in Welly should sign up. Could probably get a 3s setup going if you guys wanna play that. I'll definitely have HF, HDR and MVC2 on my hard drive.

Sponsored by beef jerky 

[Sparzx]

I've got about 7 boxes of jerky sitting here, and everyone gets some in their gamerpacks!

Gamerpacks btw, are the little bundle of goodness that you get when you sign-in on the day.
Currently including:
- AvT Lanyard
- Gamerpass (like the xLAN ones with your gamertag on them)
- Event booklet (You might have seen the ones I did for Halo at xLAN - But these are A5, 24 page, full colour, and document all the pool schdules, timetables, brackets, etc)
- A copy of the Dec/Jan GameConsole magazine
- A free 3 month subscription to GameConsole magazine
- A small AvT Sticker (Might have seen these around at xLAN too on our xboxs)
- A reminder of where you're allocated to sit + seating diagram
- Anddddd a lollipop!

[kyokei]

Quick question, are there tvs/consoles/games provided by the organisers if one does not have a 360?

Sorry if this has been answered already. Cheers

[Skullator]

Hypothetically, if somebody was to want to enter a pretty small Street fighter bracket, and is not sure if he will make it there or not.
How disappointed would you guys be if I hadn't signed up by the end of December? I don't wanna bring gear just potentially rock up with my own shit and compete whenever the games are.

Mason, still entertaining the idea of driving down, or flying for sure ?
