NYC VF Team Xiao Long Bao / 小籠包

Re: NYCLAN meetup this Friday 2-16-07

Does it really take that long to configure controls? I mean, it shouldn't take more than 10 seconds. It shouldn't be annoying for tourneys. But yes, it probably would be annoying during casuals.

Anyways... just a heads up: I may be running a VF5 tourney on Long Island on April 29th. The day and time is not 100% official yet, but the location is:

<a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=castle+golf+1878+Middle+Country+Rd,+Centereach,+NY&layer=&ie=UTF8&z=13&ll=40.867964,-73.084145&spn=0.101125,0.159645&om=1&iwloc=A" target="_blank">Castle Golf
1878 Middle Country Rd
Centereach, NY 11720</a>
(631) 471-1267

There will also be DR, and possibly SC2 and/or SC3 given the amount of interest for SC.

What I am waiting for so this can be 100% definite: I do not have a PS3 and I have only 1 TV to bring. So basically I need PS3s and TVs. And then I must get the greenlight from the manager to run the tourney on this day.

If you are interested in 2D games, I may have a tourney there on April 22nd.

If you want to know what fighting games the arcade has:

Marvel Vs Capcom 2
Capcom Vs SNK 2
Tekken 4
Killer Instict

And then the following games on an all-in-one machine: (Ultracade)

Fatal Fury III
Street Fighter
Street Fighter II
Street Fighter II: Championship Edition
Street Fighter II: Turbo
And possibly more.

Anyways, pay attention to the Long Island threads as details unfold:

Long Island VFDC
Long Island TekkenZaibatsu
Long Island SRK

(all these links go straight to my first post about these tourneys)

Evo East preparations

Hey folks, thought I should post up here to see who is interested in going to Evo East.

If you want in on the tournament, you have to register here. http://www.evo2k.com/east/register

If you have any interest in entering register right away. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif

If you register before this Sunday May 6th, the event fee is $20. This cost will go up after that so don't put it off. There is $10 fee for each tournament. So if you register now the cost for entering VF5 only will be $30.

You can pay online or at the door after registering.

The VF5 tournament qualifying pools start on Friday, May 25. They have the tournament scheduled to start at 6PM. The final 8 will battle on Sunday May 27 at 10AM.

The event place is The Westin Stamford hotel. http://www.starwoodhotels.com/westin/property/overview/index.html?propertyID=264
I went to this hotel last year and getting by public transportation is easy. You take the Metro North Hudson Line to Stamford and from there it is a 10 minute walk.

Since these event will take place in 2 days I will be reserving a room for Friday and Saturday night. If you have any interest in staying over let me know ASAP and I will work it out the cost with you.

I will make the reservation tomorrow to get on the special discount rate of $105 a night. If you want to reserve a room by yourself you need to call up the hotel and mention you want the "Evolution 2K" rate by May 3rd.

If you have any other questions, post here and I will try to answer them.

I hope many of us can show up for this event. Let's show the fighting game community what VF is all about. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

 

Re: Evo East preparations

YES! NYC represent. Good luck, gentlemen.

Destroy them all, please. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

 

Re: Evo East preparations

I'm interested in entering Evo East. The dates are not a problem for me since the last day of my classes end at the 17th of May. However, I still need to confer with my budget.

Of course, the more NYCVers the more reason for me to go regardless of budget =P

Judging by the participation in this thread it seems that NYC doesn't have a scene at all, but we all know that is far from the truth. I myself am guilty of hardly posting but i'm trying to change that. So post up people. Don't be shy =)

 

Re: Evo East preparations

I'm most likely going so post up more details about a group hotel thing

 

Re: Evo East preparations

I just registered and confirmed to go.

Trevor, I'm interested in staying over. I hope other people will tag along.

 

Re: Evo East preparations

HOLY SHIT! ive just fought a DENKAI's jacky in quest mode! his rank is ENFORCER! i've also fought konjou's akira as well. sucks that the AI doesn't live up to the REAL players standards!

just thought i'd share this with you guys...

peace
=)
