I'll need feedback for this. Long story short, do you want MB scene to stay alive or die? I was impressed with the MB scene at EVO, so it's up to you to decide the destiny.

Okay guys. So after talking things over with Coopa, here's the deal with the minor tournament. First things first, are we staying with, '
NorCal INSTALL' or do you want to change the name to, '
HitConfirm!' Considering all the venue hopping we've been doing, I - personally - would choose the latter.
The mission statement for our, future, tournaments is this, "HitConfirm/NorCal INSTALL seeks to expose the new generation of FGers to the classics while building stronger social networks within the Fighting Game community."
I just came up with that off the top of my head, but feel free to argue differently or edit accordingly. Here's the situation with our tournaments and how it will look like in the future. Do you care enough about the game you play to showcase it to other people? Do you want to play other - good - classic titles in a competitive setting? And if you feel like you want to help redirect some of the SSF4 hype train to other titles, then are you willing to step up your game to show it?
If you said, 'Yes,' then I suggest you start helping this minor get off it's ass and into high gear. And here's how you can help:
- First, and foremost, show up! We're looking at the first weekend of August at
BERKELEY!- Bring your setup; this can range anywhere to streaming setups to bringing consoles/TVs.
- Be a TO (tournament organizer); you can help run tournament brackets, seeding, and managing the games on the roster.
- Advertise; spread the word. Hype begins with you and only when YOU prevent forest blazing combos.
- Help us find
VENUES! Hit confirm as many as you can!
- Coopa suggests MMs...like A3r vs. DODGEMONKEY.
So what's on the roster? For starters, we're putting in BBCS, GGAC, and MBAA. T6 is out of the picture, but what we're going to do is let the community decide on which game they want to 'HIT CONFIRM!' This means, 'if we put a fourth game on the lineup, then the FG community will vote for their game like they did for EVO.' We will be putting these tournaments either semi-annually or quarterly. Either way, the minor will consist of those three games.
Look forward to a hype end-of-the-summer.
