EVO APAC details at http://evoapac.ozhadou.net/
the u man will be there !!!!!
awesome news
In.
wow, 1 week to train up.
sounds fun, will be there for a watch at least.
As you already know I'm in! Should be an epic 1 week rush. Got bloody mid semester tests all around that time as well...
oooo looks cool, im down!
so in....SO SO IN ;D
HYPE
Too short notice for me sadly.
If I knew it was going to be this soon I would have tried to find away to send one of our locals up. Run a tourney and winner gets a plane ticket to Auckland. But with the how close EVO APAC is, it would have been too mad a rush anyways I suppose.
This isn't the NZism nationals though right? Hopefully I can find a way to make it to nationals at least if it's much later in the year.
Nationals will be much later, no fear :)
Yer coolies. I found out ages ago i could get my PS3 fixed for free due to the CGA (consumers guarantee act), too busy getting kooch and skulling beewahzz. :P
Definitely keen for this. I'm probably way better now too, all that not playing really helps. ???
So where/how do you prepay?
Not that I have any money HA! :'(

mm its a 2 day event munta, u migth want to leave later in teh evening?? oh wait that moths day thing...
Talking about a stick for the 360.. anyone got one spare to lend me? or midnight u guys got 2x TE?
It isn't a two day event. Starts midday (tournament commences 1pm) and will finish that evening. The actual finish time will depend on final attendance numbers.
As for TE's, mine is busted at the moment so depending whether I get it sorted by then will depend if it can be used.
Failing that I'll source a couple for the tournament with attendees more than welcome to bring their own.
ah gutted, I'll have to borrow one from someone -.- just in case.
righto im all paid up .
bring on the tourny !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man I'm so fucked off that everyone's gonna be getting heaps of play time except for me. I'll prob just spectate with a mean mug and cold stare.
Bro just play on the day. You know you want to.
Also, im all paid now. Need to get used to the RSF timing differences and ill be set.
Mad Hyped for this will pay tonight :)
Any word on prizes for 2nd and 3rd yet? If not it's all good i'm really looking forward to the casuals and being schooled by the new characters ;)

i might just join you on that bro. im not gonna be much better in a weeks time.
Im gonna also try to learn Makoto in a week for this tourney.
So fuck you two pansies.
Exciting times!
I won't be entering but I look forward to watching one of you guys on the Caesars Palace stream in July :)
How's about:
Street Fighter 4 iphone/ipod touch side tourney
entry fee: $1
prize: winner takes all,
I know some of you guys have this game: Euan, Mason, Lenny, B Boy
Might be a fun distraction between our matches and calm the nerves. Also be a good excuse to for me to finally play vs mode. Could make it round robin if under 5 people.
Waddya reckon, good for a laugh? ;D
sounds good.
Keen!

I don't mind if you use mine.
swt. ta.
On the note of TE's,
Who here has one that they're happy to let other people use on the day? Realistically we'll only need 2 as there will be only one setup.
Also, I'd like to say that on Saturday Lenny will be the one running the event. Due to work issues I am unable to come up. I'll be in touch throughout the day to ensure everything is going smoothly and on schedule.
Huge thanks to Lenny for taking one for the team and stepping up to keep this event alive.
Any questions post them here, I check back often
Will we have another console running causals as well. Cos' that would be badass. :)
Munta: at giga they have 3 tv's for hire, i'm sure you guys could probably hire an extra tv and play casual on it while the comp is going.
My TE will be there for use.
And so yeah I've been talking with Midnite and I think most would agree that we should play on my 2ms WCG monitor which no-one has complained about lag and I normally run it on HDMI as well. So if someone can bring a VGA (Lenny please) I think Midnite was gonna sort out a VGA splitter then the players can use my screen to play and the game will also be projected on the projector for the spectators. I'm sure most agree that even with VGA the giga TVs still have lag and for big tournaments like this one qualifying to go to Aus and even possibly Evo we want it to be as fair as possible.
When we were using VGA on the TV at giga last time there were no noticible lag issues afaik.

Good shit! I'll put in for an extra tv if you guys are keen. Do I need to bring my ps3 copy of super for casuals? or are you guys sussed and sorted?
Just say "no" to ps3s at giga! :P
oic.

Yeah I know :(
but if the ps3 was the only setup that was free. Desparate times ;)
but if we had 2 or more xboxes rocking that would sweet as.

are u coming Ben? i mean participating?
OK so you guys don't want to use my monitor?
And also Midnite asked me to record but my camera is really bad and probably won't get any footage, so would anyone be kind enough to bring over a camera, I'll bring the tripod.
Ah, I'd be surprised if anyone didn't. Ben wanted more of them.

Bring your monitor please dude.. I have an idea that I want to test at giga. :) Plus we can use yours if everyone wants to I guess.
K then I will. But about the camera problem can anyone please bring one?
Working on it dude. I'll post back here as soon as I confirm whether its available or not.
Whoever can bring a camera and film the semi's + finals & to upload the footage to my site will receive a $25 reimbursement (free entry) to the event.
Ended up triple booking this weekend.. won't be able to make it up for this one ;[
Hope it's a blast, and gl to all!

I'm really impressed. Good on him.
Kevin is definitely the best in NZ, end of story. Even without the console to practice in he manage to pull out the same results as Vinilla. I am really hoping we can send our best over to EVO APAC and He's the one, but sometimes things just don't go as you please...
