Cloud LAN 01 - AH Pro Circuit NZ Stop 1

[fluxcore]

$50 is a fair bit cheaper than the XLan fee, and the prizes aren't worthless games (and a medal with "street fighter 5" on them). Plus the whole console division isn't just a tacked on extra with very little thought. It's entirely likely the people running the tournaments might actually care/know who should be playing, as well!

But don't forget what the best thing about xLan was... the THREE fucking long days of (as smoof said) mashing out games and hanging out.  Even jamming all night long playing Dan mirror battles (not me but some damager guys did).

With each day being 12hours and looking like just the games that are there it doesn't seem as enticing as xLan was.  Don't get me wrong, the tournament side of xLan was shocking but still at least it was great to have a venue for such a long time.

Still, in the end I think this would be a neat event.  Wish I could come too

Yea true Stereo, hows this venue compare space wise?
Worth us bringing setups so we can jam out all weekend?

[fluxcore]

NZism is supporting this event, and I really think it's the best tournament we are going to get prize-wise, so you guys should really get into it.

Also, until RvB is up and running again this is probably going to be the ONLY open tournament we are going to get for quite a few months. The regular training sessions NZism were having is untenable at the moment due to lack of venue, so we're relying on the gatherings at people's houses for the meantime.

Also consider this will in all likelihood be the LAST tournament for SF4! Winning will crown you as champion of all time

You could try Giga for Venue while RvB is moving, I'm sure they can give you some good deals like what RVB has been doing. dunno just my thought.

I just hope RvB dont move to botany or North shore.... it will be LAME getting there -.-

Would be extra sweet if we can bring our own setups and blast away.  Hmmmmmmmmmm... should I or should I not stay for it.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Desh was mentioning Howick last I talked to him.

GIGA is ok I guess, but you can't really cram the same number of setups (or people) in there very easily for training...

Well, it's BYOC so I guess that's a yes?

Is there any parking available around there? Seems like a bit of a drive from Hamilton :/ Anyone live up that area?

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

Not for sf4/T6. Just need a 360 stick.

Midnite said we could use his. And i know you guys would share.

Its a lot more spacious than you think and lots of seats. Though it does lack consoles, we can run max 4 machines including a projector. I guess its good for smaller sessions

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

Is there parking at Giga Andy?

this tourny is in albany and its 9am to 9pm for the three days so you cant stay the night like x-lan .

So Id have to drive from pukekohe to albany everyday plus the entry fee counts me out .
Good luck to you guys who enter and take vids !!!!!!!

[Gino]

Sounds grood! Count me in!

Im sure the street fighter portion isn't 4 days worth. And the $50 is pretty steep, but if we get enough people it will be worth it i reckon. Some of you probably dont feel the same way though.

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

Oh rats i thought it was overnighters.

Chip ins for a dirty hotel would be cheap as.  And we could have games there.
