Old OzHadou interview gets me thinking about NZism's future, please read!

This is a really interesting read, since I sort of modelled this site off ozHadou... I hope I can make this site as successful as they have theirs!

So one of my goals would be to make next year's 'national tourney' span multiple games. Working out which games are worth running is a bit haphazard though I guess, the individual scenes for each game other than Tekken and SFIV are pretty small. Maybe BlazBlue will get enough of a following to make it worthwhile, but I'm not so sure.

It would also be great to be able to take either the top players of each game or the overall 'mvp' and send them off to ozHadou to try our hand against AU's best.

What would you guys like to see NZism heading towards/offering in the future?

[Gino]

HD Remix, should bring in alot of old-school players.

[Lennysaurus]

Fuck yeah Allan.  We need to have an NZ evo like event!

[[NIUE] B1ackstar Ninja]

Yeah With enough notice and advertising im sure you could run a big tourney with....

SF4
HD REMIX
TEKKEN 6 ( will be out on console soon)
MVC2
KOFXII

and maybe Blazeblue

With like 6 months or so to organise and advertise IM sure it would be awesome

[fluxcore]

TBH I reckon BlazBlue is going to end up bigger than KoFXII, but yeah MvC2 is a good idea.

I'll need to try to contact some bigwigs in Tekkenland, maybe we can sort something out between us for a national tourney...

No one outside Wellington plays 3S?
Not a fan of HDR as it's console based.
And I wouldn't count on Blazblue to take off that much. It definitely won't establish its own niche of players like other games have.

My 3 cents.

As I've stated before, if you guys come over I can house you during the tournie okay?

[fluxcore]

I don't think there's much of a 3s scene around anywhere else, and do you really think the 3s players from wellington would travel up to AKL to play 3s?

Not a fan of HDR as it's console based.

Everything is console based these days really.

And I wouldn't count on Blazblue to take off that much. It definitely won't establish its own niche of players like other games have.

Yeah, I didn't mean that it would be big enough to run a tourney for, I just think it'll be bigger than KoFXII. In other words, I really don't see very many people picking up KoFXII seriously. Even the people that like KoF don't seem particularly impressed with XII (myself included).
But hey, I don't like 3s either, so what do I know?

[[NIUE] B1ackstar Ninja]

Yeah all those games I mention will be out on both 360 and ps3 within a month or 2  .
Except Blazeblue for 360

[massi4h]

I used to know a lot of high play Smash players. Still know quite a few but lots of them have split up into Brawl.

Could pay to do one of those maybe.

[geneterror]

I would like to see 3S in there.
I would say Blazblue over KOF at the moment as well. I actually want to play KOFXII more but I agree that maybe not so many people are going to play it seriously yet.

Isn't there another tourney for Smash? I do think it would be a good idea to talk with them or something though, the larger our community gets, the more we can have other people trying new games

[fluxcore]

Yeah there is a guy who runs ?yearly? smash tournies, might be possible to join efforts.

[Chuckk]

I'm fairly sure a few people from Welly, probably up to 5 or so would travel up for 3s, but probably no other game other than T6. I'd enter other tourneys just to make up numbers but not for serious.
Might be a bit sour playing console 3s though, however FBA or an arcade solves that.

The only reason I said KOF is that it will be out both on ps3 and 360 at the end of july so more people will pick it up compared to blazeblue which will only be out on ps3 (360 not till next year?) and also not avalible locally for purchase (unless through mighty ape) .

So yeah I think there will be more interest in KOF personnally because of it being avalible to everyone very soon compared to blazblue .

( which I want to play more than KOF I have to add)
