LOL... ! All drunk, wreckin havoc up in this bitch. ''tournament *hicup* what tournament ? Bring us your women ! *hicup* [passes out].

I realize this is off topic but what about MoAT? I just think it would be nice if one of the VF only gatherings that have been round forever got support from people in the VF4 and VF4 evo scene. For many people, it probably wouldn't be as out in the cut as a trip to California. Don't get me wrong, I want to go to both and my friends and I are all ready heading to MoAT. Just that Evo is the ex-factor being in California and all but I guarantee that if there is some way for me to get there, I will be there. MoAT page

The way I see it, it's that way for everyone. Few people have the money to go to the otherside of the country just for a tourney. I'm no exception; otherwise, I probably would've been at one a long time ago.

This is my very first tourney, and I'm going for certain reasons.
1. It's in the same state that I live in.
2. It's the largest tournament yet in the U.S...the U.S equivalent to SBO.
3. When people in the U.S want to include VF in their game lineup, I think it's only wise to show support. They (the tourney coordinators) could take the attitude that most arcades take; "few people even like this game, so why even bother including it". In this case, they didn't think like that, and given the fact that it's close to home, I'm taking Friday off of whatever summer job I have and going to this event.

But of course, that's just me. I don't, and never will blame anybody who doesn't consider it because it's either too far, too expensive, or both.

Either way you look at it, it's a courtesy thing. You can attend the longest running VF only gathering and support it because it's the longest running VF only gathering. You can also attend the largest fighting game tournament because it's the largest fighting game tournament. The only difference is in the largest fighting game tournament there's a greater desire to represent.

Hotel accomodations are being arranged. Castel on TZ mentioned a possibility of having $20/night per person for rooms of 4. They are trying to reserve space for people in this "Shilo Inn". I'm just bringing the word over here for anybody interested.

I appreciate the link, if I go ahead with my own wishes (which I will barring acts of God), I will see you at Evo 2k3. I want to show support for the most misunderstood game this side of Japan. "Given the wishes of any one man, the world rises and falls in the blink of an eye."

the player list got updated and moved up to only 36
How come no one from Flordia and New York is Representing !! Even if your're thinking about going sign up, VF looks really weak right now. I mean when your getting your butt kicked by super street fighter turbo. . . cmon people.

I don't see lots of familiar names among 36 ppl.

Eventhough I am one of those ppl who are not going to

make this tourney, it is still kinda sad to see how small

VF4 scene is.

Yeah, that does suck. But they shouldn't sign up unless they're sure they're going. Doing that throws off the tourney coordinators, and screws up the prize/attendance estimates. I already recognize a few fake names, and people on other boards talking like they're still thinking about attending.

And besides, why make VF have like 30 more people "on paper", but when the tourney goes down there's still only 36 people (if the cut off were today).

I think there's only one VF-dedicated player on that list?

well 2 including brisal, we're both socal players, so we dont have to worry on the traveling budget. Im trying to convince yama to come down here with shinz. Hopefully a bigger draw for the VF scene and maybe impress a few other gamers.

as first hype to this tournament mad dog jin (of tekken fame) from korea, who took the VF title last year is entering the tournament. We get a taste of some foreign blood.

Nice job promoting the tourney, myke!

I was reading some stuff at SRK, and noticed that last year one of the SF champions was Onuki, a SF player who has also started playing Aoi, and is pretty good (one of his clips was posted as a "best bout" from beat tribe 10 over at the beat tribe site). If this guy plays, we're probably fucked /versus/images/graemlins/wink.gif.

I signed up, but can't seem to get the window to scroll down to see the players list. Also, i noticed in the rules that there'll be no saving of replay files, so I'm hoping we can set up video equipment somehow. I was a little bummed there wasn't more footage taken at TiT.

everyone should try to make this.

Hey guys. I'm in Tokyo at the moment, which is why I haven't been posting all too much... The place I'm staying at doesn't have net access, so I'm actually mooching off Kurita's computer right now ^^;;;

Anyways, I was speaking to Shu the other night and he asked if there werre any major tournaments going on in the US in the near future. I showed him the cached page with info on this tourney, and he is VERY interested in seeing if Enterbrain staff might be able to come. He works for the DVD and media section of Famitsu, so getting this stuff on tape would be of interest to him and his colleagues, especially since it's a multi-game deal and many of the famous Capcom game players are well respected in Japan, as well. So, we may have some Japanese guests coming to this!

If any of the organizers/their friends are reading this: could you contact me? The Famitsu people would like to get some more info, if possible. My email is zero-chan@usa.net . Danke!

Last year, Mr Sawatari (Editor in Chief of Arcadia I believe), and Mr Yamagishi (Beat Tribe manager, and MC of SBO VF etc) were representing Arcadia staff at EVO2K2. In addition, we also had Mr Matsuda, Mr Wakamatsu, and Kunihiro Funada. Seeing as they expressed a large interest in joining our "official" tournament management staff for next year (EVO2K3), I'm pretty sure it's safe to say Arcadia will be there.

We are waiting for Kuni (our main contact/translator) to get back to us about official Japanese non-player participation for EVO2K3, as well as an official list of Japanese players that are interested for all games.

What if someone pushes the pause button during the match. Happened to me in Texas...whats the rule on that.
