This hasn't stopped me playing SF4.

Will XLAN be interfering with EVO APAC? Because that would be a pretty big toss up.

Pretty sure evo itself is in july, so basically no?
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: zos'la on February 16, 2010, 08:15:39 AM
its pretty close.... for most it wouldn't matter as the majority of us won't be able to make it to Evo anyways!!!
oh wait, I shouldn't be so negative!!!!
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: massi4h on February 16, 2010, 12:26:18 PM
Yeah it's gay EVO and Xlan are both the exact same weekend. Regardless I'm still going to go to xlan anyway unless I magically made enough money to go to the APAC qualifier and win and then I'd rather go to Evo lol.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: [NIUE] BIRRY WONG on February 16, 2010, 12:30:18 PM
Fuck, i doubt anyone here is going to be going to EVO in the US. Unless someone manages to beast at EVO APAC and gets the payed trip. I just had in my head that EVO APAC was in july, but it was in june. So we're good. Actually, we should probably start thinking about OUR nats this year. Although thats a totally different topic.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: zos'la on February 16, 2010, 01:23:41 PM
thats right Bill xD

Leave the nationals to our big shot organizers from here :D I think one time of an experience is enought for me :)
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: Lennysaurus on March 23, 2010, 02:42:54 PM
So anyway.  XLAN is gonna be $55-00 for earlybird console entry and $65-00 for regulars.  I think im probably gonna go.  I had too much fun last time.

That us U-man?
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: massi4h on March 23, 2010, 03:10:17 PM
Atm they have SF4 and T6 written down. Good pricing imo. And if Guitar Hero needs any more numbers I'll pay each of you $10 to make it up lol.

Problem is that it is on the exact same 3 days as Evo. But from what I know, Telstra Clear is providing internet for steam, chat clients, BFBC2, etc. So maybe if we ask kindly we could get them to let us stream Evo. If we have matches in the morningish or later in the day, evo won't be running at those times cause of different timezones, so I think it could work if they allow us.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: fluxcore on March 23, 2010, 03:43:52 PM
maybe if stu can get that top 10 place again... no way am I staying in that sleeping hall.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: stereomonkey on March 23, 2010, 06:39:01 PM
Shit man that is a WAY better deal than last year, fuck yes I'll try to make it hahah.

Can always watch evo some other way I guess and if you wanna chip in for the Holiday Inn then I'm up for that too.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: [NIUE] BIRRY WONG on March 23, 2010, 06:43:05 PM
Yea thats not a bad deal. I was thinking i wasnt gonna go if it was the same price as last year, but i reckon i might be able to stretch to $55.

hmmm id like to go to this as last year was was awesome but cos evo is on im tempted to stay at home with a crate of cherry dr pepper and some doritos and watch evo for 3 days .
see what happens closer to the date
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: [NIUE] BIRRY WONG on March 24, 2010, 05:22:55 PM
Anyway, im sure we can work something out for when we're there.

Its a friggin internet stream, and we're going to a GIANT LAN. I think its safe to say that at some point, we're going to be able to find something to watch a stream on. Ill bring my shitbox computer if need be.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: stereomonkey on March 25, 2010, 12:58:13 AM
If I do go I will probably steam it via mobile broadband since I can get it really cheap and alot of gb to do so.  Either that or Euan's place for three days ;)
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: [NIUE] Optimus DAVE on March 25, 2010, 11:11:55 AM
i dont not work the weekends anymore....

and its only $55 mayn......that sounds like a good plan to me.....

\see what my manager says tho :-X
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: massi4h on April 09, 2010, 11:26:55 AM
EVO STREAM AT XLAN!!!

Quote from: Arseynimz aka xLan organiser
Don't bother guys. Mainstage big screen will be all yours once the LAN tournament action stops, and we'll have the stream available for you as and when needed beforehand in some shape or form.


Yes we even get the big screen on the main stage when the event finishes on Sunday. Everyone must come now, I think I should make a new topic with this in the title so everyone sees and comes. 3 days of epic ssf4, other fighting games and evo stream.

Probably not great but the experience of three days of gaming with mates is well worth it.

I'll probably stream most of the mvc2 and tvc matches using my T-Stick (Mobile broadband) when they are streaming.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: fluxcore on April 09, 2010, 07:18:22 PM
Different organisers this year, might well have actual prizes this time.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: Lennysaurus on April 09, 2010, 09:02:53 PM
Wow... that is frickin awesome... Im pretty much decided now.  Will see you guys there!
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: Will on April 10, 2010, 02:43:09 AM
Somehow I dont think the prizes are going to be any better than last year maybe more fighter specific but nothing as cool as cash or anything, a trophy would be sweet. Having there stream there on the big screens going to be awesome, hopefully the overall console numbers rise then previous years due to it being a better price for casuals.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: massi4h on April 10, 2010, 11:42:37 AM
Tbh I think the prizes will be much better, but I won't get my hopes up. I'm sure at least the won't call it Street Fighter 5 this year, although with tekken they might mix it up and call it Street Fighter 6 (last year had VF5) lol.

Different organisers though on both the main and console stuff and console will be heaps bigger this year, so it should get more notice.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: zos'la on April 12, 2010, 09:15:14 AM
well if most teh crew go I actually might want to attend this year since I have't been to xLan since 2005....
But really hope they can give soem decent prizes.

Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: massi4h on April 15, 2010, 06:51:36 PM
Yeah sure. But you must register for the tournament! I'm too poor but if Guitar Hero becomes a WCG qualifier I'll give anyone $10 to enter (cause it costs $10). I've already paid for PC + 3 tourneys, so atm I'm considering GH5, (S)SF4 and probably CS1.6 or CSS if I can get a team. I think Giga wants to chuck me somewhere.

Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: massi4h on April 26, 2010, 08:13:53 AM
4 more days to prepay ($10 cheaper). They have a new rule that any game that gets at least 20 paid teams will get at least a $2000 prize pool, where first gets 75% and second gets 25% (third gets a sponsored prize).

Just confirming if this applies to Street Fighter. They will change the game to SSF4 when it comes out.

Post by: massi4h on April 27, 2010, 03:45:17 PM
Yeah the head admin just confirmed this to be true for street fighter.

20 people and we have a minimum prize pot of $2000. MAKE IT HAPPEN. We had about 22 last year iirc.

Plus we get to watch the Evo stream on the big projector at the main stage and pay before Friday and it's $65. Or else $75. For 3 days of epic fighting games.

Post by: [NIUE] BIRRY WONG on April 29, 2010, 12:35:30 PM
To be honest, id rather pay the extra 10 bucks when theres confirmation of more entrants, rather than part with my $55 when there are curently only 8 potential tourney-goers. Im gonna have to hold off for a while.

QuotePRIZES!
   
     

For those who signed and paid up quick enough to take advantage of the Earlybird offer, you were also entered in to the draw to win one of three Ticketek vouchers! We'd like to congratulate decap, Terrorblade, and ADism who have all picked up a voucher each.

If you missed out, don't fret! All you have to do is pay for your LAN ticket before the end of May (you can pay for your tournament(s) later), as we have 2 more vouchers up for grabs! If you've already paid, you'll automatically go in the draw - so you don't need to do a thing.

So get yourself paid up as soon as possible, and get in to win! We may have a few other goodies in the prize cupboard as well!

Ummmm, did you win something Dave? :)

It says payments finish in 5 days and 3 hours, so if my math is right, you should have until Tuesday midnight to pay (but I'm not sure how they do it for processing). People are officially selling their tickets on the forums now Will, but I think you can't sell them after a certain date (might be next Tuesday).

Payments extended til next Sunday. Cmon guys, 20 signups = $2000 pot. We'd be like EVO/10 which is still awesome and we'll get to watch it as well.
Also the FAQ says Friday 11th June (today) is the last day to transfer bought tickets. Sign up hurry!

On that note are you coming Stu? You don't even need to fly over like last year. Turnout is starting to look better.

Also I'm almost certain the tourney won't start til Saturday, so if you guys can't get Friday off work, coming after work would probably work.

Title: Re: XLAN 2010

Well how much would you charge to host an event all day for over three days with tournaments, extreme discounts and specials on gear and an overall fun experience.

I'm guessing "free" is what you would charge, or something on the lines of that.

not sure , i thought they were gunna put it on in the other room where the prizes where given out the other year in which case you couldnt see it unless you had xlan tickets.

they may show it at the front as you go in but somehow id doubt it , probably dont want people sitting down in the main foyer blocking access to the event

too true . if you havent been tho you probably wouldnt undastand how good it is

the leveling up is insane over three days , i know i learnt heaps last year plus playing mason for about 12 hours straight on the boat level on sf4 lol

Yeah 12 hours of Akuma vs Ken on the boat stage, but I don't think I got bored until the end nearly lol. So good. I'm pretty sure the main stage is free for spectators, my family have come in to watch prize giving both years without any hassles. I think spectators are allowed anywhere except the gaming area. But instead you guys should pay.

Pick your seating now! Halo players are taking all our seats from last year, so hurry up and get in. I think it's best for our main setup to be facing towards the PC players, etc so at least it becomes spectator friendly.

maybewe should be at the other side down bottom on far left so were far away and can cause a bit more noise ?

Post by: massi4h on June 27, 2010, 10:10:10 PM
Maybe if we have our main tournament setups near Alan and to the left of him, we won't be close to the Halo players. And William101 is on the next table on our left, so I'm sure whoever he's with won't mind the noise lol. People will be hearing "the DAMAGER" from Euan anywhere in the hall anyway.

But I just chucked my seat there, if you guys think of somewhere else and we agree we could move there.

What?

He has to sign up to the event. I know he did this at one point because his name was there.
He then has to sign up to each individual tournament. I know he did this at one point because his name was there.

His name is no longer in either.

Either he changed his name, or was removed for some other reason (like, he didn't pay. They start culling the non-payers around this time).

Still got a problem?

pretty sure you can get mini doughnuts as  a spectator too... :)

Definitely seems like monitors will be the lacking item. Can we only try to bring lagless setups since it has been such a massive shitstorm recently? Sounds like people really need to get used to them. If that means crts then so be it :/

Andy, be careful! Last year the tournament timetable was AWFUL, I turned up at like 11AM on friday and when I arrived the console admin told me "Bro you need to not be late, you missed your first game, but dont worry its cool because this is a double elimination tourny and you still have a chance!"

Nobody had ever said when games would start on the friday..

This year we hope things are done better, but who's to know.

Hey Guys,

I cant be at the tourney cause I'll be in Hamilton on the Saturday, but I'll meet you guys at Lonestar for dinner.  Beast on some RIBS!!!

Also Ninja sock, I dunno how much use it would be but if you look in our tourney results thread we have some standings for our current ranbat season, but like I said dont think it will be much use to you.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: massi4h on July 01, 2010, 07:03:30 PM
Yeah and I'm on top so use that seeding lol.

Anyway would you guys like pools? I think that would be a cool idea, 4 pools of 4 players to top 8 double elim. It'd be like Evo and ESWC and all the big comps. It also gives everyone at least 3 games, and 5 games if you qualify to top 8.

If you guys think it's a good idea I'm sure Ninja Sock would push it forward.

Aight so the 24" PS3 SSFIV rig I will be taking has been true tested as lag free using it's hdmi port. Tested at both native resolution of 1920x1080 and downscaled to 1280x720.
I can expand on how this was done if anyone cares or wants to do it to their own stuff, here's the pics.

Native:
(http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n234/Skullator/native.jpg)

Downscaled:
(http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n234/Skullator/downscaled.jpg)

So yup, don't be scared to play on my rig.
The jury is still out on if I will bring my 32" Samsung LED.. looks AMAZING but didn't run the lag tests on it yet. Should try to bring it even if its just for wii \ laptop mirroring... but it wil be a mission to travel with lol.

I agree - I did the same "lag test" on my TV by using the laptops screen as the baseline and I had identical results, but I know for a fact that the timing is different between my TV and the CRT I'm using now

Those results will be skewed bro - you'll need to somehow feed video to both the monitor and a CRT to get true results
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: Skullator on July 04, 2010, 04:28:48 PM
You're assuming that vga or svideo OUT on high end graphics cards \ devices that are definitely lag free, can have this fast number run across to two completely different branded \ model device's IN's , AND MATCH IT TO THE .001 , and that there can still be some "Variable amount" of lag happening per device just because it's an LCD panel not a CRT, and that the numbers can still somehow be EXACTLY THE SAME.

Assuming delay was occuring, the numbers wouldn't be exactly the same. The "Skewing" would show in the pictures lol.

CRT is the EASIEST WAY of being sure you are playing lag free. A CRT is not a requirement in knowing for certain something is lag free.
The Nvidia GTX 275 in my i7 920 build is another lag free device, when a high end graphics card goes straight to a  LCD's native resolution (depending on your monitors type) that can be just as a lag free as a CRT.
You've got to remember, the source program is an application that must be launched from a PC. How do you think people get their PC connected to their CRT television? That's right, their graphics cards send the image to the CRT via the Svideo or vga\rgb port (My graphics card has this, and I have a cable and a CRT, but when I know that what I'm doing is the exact same thing, I'm not even going to bother lifting that shit out of storage)
CRT will show, whatever it is given, lag free. But certainly not the only lag free device on the planet lol.

All monitors involved had Vga, Hdmi, Dvi ports, and we reversed the roles \ cabling each way to compare the hdmi ports on each device.

My monitors tested lag free:
1920x1080 on source to 1920x1080 on endpoint.
1280x720 on source to 1280x720 on endpoint (DOWNSCALED \ NON NATIVE) which was required for me as PS3 out's the game at 720p max. Meaning your monitor either has to pass the downscale test, or be 720p native.

Hi guys

I have a PS3 and a PS2 stick to use, but I'm going to XLan next weekend for the Tekken 6 Tournament on 360

Can someone recommend a brand of ps2(or ps3) to 360 controller converter to use that won't lag (had experience with laggy ps2->ps3 converters)? Or can I borrow someone elses converter for the time at XLan? I know a bunch of people from NZism are coming for the SFIV tourney

I don't wanna go in and have to use a 360 controller, but at the same time I don't wanna be depending on others to use their equipment while I'm there

Is this a good one? http://www.trademe.co.nz/Gaming/Xbox-360/Accessories/Controllers/auction-300628216.htm

Would prefer not to buy one just for this event, so I would appreciate it if someone has a spare converter and I'll give them $10 to borrow it for the event :)

Cheers
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: fluxcore on July 04, 2010, 08:16:46 PM
Doesn't make any difference how much lag there is in any other device in the chain as long as the exact same output is going to each monitor. You aren't comparing the timestamp shown to anything other than the other monitor.

How do you know each of the monitors aren't equally laggy?

You need a known 0-lag monitor to compare against.
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: Skullator on July 04, 2010, 08:21:17 PM
I did assume high end HP 6540b laptop monitor to be lag free. My mistake.
So a CRT over Svideo on one side and the monitor over HDMI on the other side is sufficient? I'll do that later if it's going to be enough to get the seal of approval for the event.

Edit: Hey kids, do you like NZism? Then you're going to love not buying a PS3!

Flux will this test be good enough?

I will do it if it's required to ensure that both monitors were not experiencing the exact same amount of lag, instead of both being lag free. And I suspect that it may also make me the only person in this country with the equipment required and qualified to operate street fighter 4 on a playstation 3 + LCD panel due to the scaling tests.

I can assure you though that the high end laptop monitor shown in one of the pictures, and both lcd's.. are in fact lag free. And weren't all suffering from some mysterious magical number of anti street fighter lag due to not being the exact product perhaps posted on shoryuken though.

CRT over Svideo will show the same numbers

So what, from what I understand, people are pressing buttons and the inputs aren't coming out during combos?

As Ben (and I previously) have pointed out, this means you are pressing the button too early.

Are you therefore claiming the monitor at Giga has LESS THAN 0 FRAMES OF LAG? That the monitor shows things BEFORE THEY ARE OUTPUT FROM THE CONSOLE???

If so then HALLELUJAH we have discovered a time travel machine!

Andy.  I'm gonna put it plain as day for you bro.

The giga monitors have been tested.  With actual equipment, and we have exact numbers to prove that they are lag free.  This is hard factual evidence that we can back up with photographs and data.

I have no idea why you are missing at the giga setup, but unless you give us factual evidence of the setup being no good, you're honestly wasting your time complaining about it and calling BS.  Saying "Oh it feels the same to me" is not factual evidence.

The only difference I can think of is the fact that you are practicing on PS3, and we use XBOX360 at ranbats.  I'm guessing that this could be the difference.  Thats all I can think of.

I just wanted to chime in and say that after playing a number of sets on the lagless set ups at Giga last ranbats (which were the best yet IMO), I now find them superior in everyway to the regular set up I had at home via LCD etc etc. I'm now playing on the CRT at home and I finally feel like I can actually train/play the game for real.

The Lag free set ups are awesome, only took 5 matches to get the timing down, and from there it was gravy. The ability to play in real time does so much for your reactionary skills, I really can't wait for the next set against you cats at Giga. :D

Don't take my BS too seriously, it was a joke to being with.
Let me put this in a more serious manner.

As stated in my previous post, I have notice no differences in speed wise using my LCD with HDMI and a 15 years old CRT. I do agree I do not have teh right equipment to test it on therefore I can no put actual FACTS here, you can take my words for it or not but the Giga monitors running on VGA does nto feel anything like the CRT setup I have. Which I find it funny as I would of expected it to be similar or better than the VGA setup at Giga because I was there to do the test and took the photos. The test was base on the BenQ 27 inch with teh Acer 22 inch and we found it to have around 2-3 frames difference, so in saying we did not do a proper test with them against a CRT? correct me if I am wrong here.

Either way, I am not complaining, I just feel that its a bit odd thats all. But I will try it on other CRT and see how it goes.

NINJASOCK!!!!
any news on teh schedule\ timebale or brackets?

For 99.9% of people it's not actually a step backwards, they just want to watch sweet blu-ray movies etc.
I would rather stab myself in the eyes than play on a CRT these days unless the game was designed before HD gaming became the norm ie. games made prior to PS2. Try playing most non-fighting games made now on a CRT and the menus/option text is to small to even read and some games you can't use the map haha.

Post by: fluxcore on July 07, 2010, 09:05:59 AM
Pretty much. What's even worse is that the monitor selection available in NZ is pretty poor compared to somewhere like America - so we only get a subset of the low input delay monitors, which makes it even harder to get them!

I should have also pointed out that 99.9% of this forum didn't know diddly squat about input delay until recently, either :P

Speaking of XLAN, I'm wondering if any of you guys attending can get your hands on one of the "official WCG 2010" monitors they're going to be using and do a lag test

http://playtech.co.nz/afawcs0139235/CATID=257/ID=14232/SID=107854702/productdetails.html

If they're lag free (which I'm skeptical about), it could be a good (albeit, expensive) solution for the people who aren't too stoked with having to use a CRT
Title: Re: XLAN 2010
Post by: fluxcore on July 07, 2010, 09:47:48 AM
From what I can see in reviews it has "almost no input lag" but a review of the P2370 says "average of 1 frame" which is a bit poo - although it's a slightly different model (P2370 vs P2370H)

Seriously though I wouldn't spend $310 on an 23" LCD in 2010, all lag discussion aside. After seeing my 24" LCD sit next to Scribbles 24" LED for a week I'm sold on the colour vibrancys and black levels being worth it, before you get into the obvious thickness, weight and power consumption benefits.

Fuck yeah i can't read the text and sometime the map icons all look the same like little white circles when really they have small differences that you can't see haha.

ah yeah, you missed the test we did versus the crt.

what we did was compare the lag of a CRT vs the 27inch benq, it was about 3 frames from memory. then from there we compared the 27inch benq vs the asus monitor and the asus monitor was faster by roughly 3 frames. so by deduction we can say the asus monitor is roughly equal to the crt. I say roughly equal because I cannot recall the exact numbers at the present time.

The only other test I could think of is to get a video camera which can record @ 60 frames a second and we output to a CRT and a LCD at the same time and compare the video camera images frame by frame. I don't have the equipment or the time to undertake such a test.

Well I'm bringing my computer so they'll probably let us use it to stream for us xlan players during the comp. Hopefully someone can bring a spare monitor to watch it on as I'll be mostly using mine for my xbox. After prize giving on Sunday, probably finish at 3pm they said we can use the main stage to watch it. I have no idea how late it will go though, so we could possibly get kicked out.

It won't be shown on the main stage during the event as there will be constant stage matches happening.

So.

I showed you a review where some people with all the right equipment performed a test and showed effectively 0 lag.
You bought a crt and say they seem the same.

And now you want some random ppl with shoddy equipment to try and repeat the first test?

At what point are you going to stop this? When Daigo comes along and blesses your monitor? God?

If those test ARE correct then my monitor is 0-1 frame lag at most. So I am just wanting to varify this as our so called 0 lag setup does not feel the same. Does it get on ur nerves? sorry if it does but I am asking others who mentioned they might bring something along the line, not specifically u.
