Date & Time
Saturday, August 2nd (8/2) @ 1pm *Tournament portion will be held at Columbus Park @ approx. 5pm*

Meet Up Spot #1: Chinatown Fair (CF) & Columbus Park
8 Mott Street
(between Chatham Sq & Mosco St)
New York, NY 10013


Meet Up Spot #2 *[added 6/12]*
Tournament & Post-Tourney Casuals will be held at ->
Columbus Park
67 Mulberry St (Mulberry & Mosco), New York, NY


Transportation
NYC MTA Options:
J, M, Z, N, Q, R, W, 6 --> Canal St.
Puts you off at rock-throwing distance from CF. Mott St. is about 4-5 blocks distance if you choose to exit from the Centre St. exit. Once you find Mott St. the rest is cake. Plenty of police officers on Canal St. so you may want to ask them for directions (DON'T ASK RANDOM PEOPLE ON THE STREET). If don't see any pigs around to ask, talk to a random street vendor. Police>Street Vendor>Spin around and choose a direction>Ask random NY'er.

B, D --> Grand St.
Puts you about 2 blocks away from Canal St. Train Station. Still pretty easy to not get lost. Grand St. and Canal St. are parallel to each other. Not many officers on this particular area so you may have to resort to asking for help  ::).

Less viable MTA options
A, C, E (Canal St.) & F (East Broadway)
Well, if you choose these last two options, I can't really help you there. I just know that both stops will leave you with a 10-15 min walk in order to get to Chinatown Fair. Good luck and take notes.

Travel tips by Jiyuna (Philadelphia>NYC) *added 7/18
I'm writing this shit from the BOLT BUS!!

Forget that shady chinatown bus business, BOLT BUS!! is the truth ->

Roundtrip ticket prices between Philly & NYC vary from 2$-25$ depending on how early you book (I paid 18$). Seats are mad comfortable, tons of leg room, clean bathroom, TVs, power outlets, and DAT WI-FI :prinny: Only downside is it looks like imma have a 15 min walk when I get there, but small price to pay for this shit. Now you philly people can get out to those BBG's without fear of getting shanked by a chinaman.

Travel tips by HyperHal (Philadelphia) *added 5/7
I know that if you're coming from philly, you'll want to take the chinatown bus located around 11th and market. Just walk down towards the gallery until you get to a small store called "Cherry bus inc." $10 one way/$20 round trip to NYC, drops you off in chinatown roughly 4 blocks from CF(it actually drives past the park/CF).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Casuals and Tournament

Casuals @ CF:
Venue fee: FREEEEE, $0
Player fee: Also FREEEEE

Pre-tourney gathering will be held at the back of CF by the Capcom Vs. SNK 2 machine. Once inside CF just hit the corner, make a left and walk to the wall in back. Casuals will run from about 1pm to 5pm. At about 5pm the mods (Zaelar, Chibi, Zar) will break for about 30mins then return to the front of CF (at a specified time) in order to round up the players that are interested in attending the BBG tournament. From there we head out to....THE GAZEBO.

Casual Pay Rules:
Stick only with standard arcade config & macros disabled.



Sticks will be provided by Zaelar and Chibi so do not abuse/misuse them. Should you be caught mistreating any equipment that belongs to them or myself, you will be excluded from participating in casuals and possibly the tournament event.

One game, gtf off & the Stop Beasting Rule
Just like an 'authentic' arcade environment, when you get beat up you get off. You win - keep playing. The one exception to this is when the winner accumulates 10 consecutive wins. After a 10streak, the rapist is asked to step down and head to the back of the line. This gives other players a chance to shine and you some time to Stop Beasting  :o.

Tournament Format and Rules:
One dollar...
One game...
One elimination...
GTFO


The tournament portion of the gathering will be held at or by THE GAZEBO. After the break from CF casuals, players will be escorted to a city public park one block from CF were the mods will be leeching the city's energy supply from available outlets. Now, at the last event I got dissed at THE GAZEBO and power supplies were null. This time around I will be better prepared and check the power status of THE GAZEBO a few days before the event date then give a report in this thread. Should we be denied power again, we can always run it back by the Snapple Vendors. For extra precaution I will also be checking power status for vending spot as well.

Venue: ...What venue? It's a park! lolololololol

Entry Fee: $1. Come on, its ONE DOLLAR. You have no excuse to not have this.

Format:
One game: A Match consists of 2 points i.e. two-out-of-three rounds.
Single Elimination: Should you lose a match (2/3 rds) you are eliminated from the tournament and will not be placed in a losers bracket. Yeah...mad grimey.

Pot/Prize: Its winner-take-all, baby. First place will be awarded all of that cold casssshhhh.
***I was thinking of starting a trend where the winner of the GF's buys the runner-up the Snapple beverage of their choice. Let me know what you guys think.*** <-- According to park employees, the vending machines are inoperable. If anyone says otherwise please notify me because I would really like to implement this idea. A Snapple for second would be a good way to promote and exercise good sportsmanship  :blah: .

P2 side and the mystic coin-flip: [*added 6/4]
Players seeking advantage in a match (or scheming to take that from their opponent) may request a coin-flip for player side before the start of a match. More than likely the winner of the coin toss will choose p2 but is also free to choose p1 if they desire. Loser of the coin toss get the choice of stage selection.

MBCaster auto-recording feature and the not-so-random random stage selection [*added 6/4]
To insure that we catch all replays w/o any "accidents" happening the mods will be running MB through MBCaster's Broadcast (option 4) feature. Broadcast mode has been personally tested (for 4+ hrs at several occasions) by Zaelar and myself. There was absolutely no lag or dropped input issues to be noted and it works 100% fine as if MBCaster weren't even being use (0 input lag setting). The only nuisance with caster is that it fails terribly at randomizing stages - in fact the first 3 stages are always the same by "random" selection (warc, len, kohaku). So with that being said, if a coin-flip for side was not requested, p1 is free to select the stage of their liking.

Peripherals & Config: Controller/Pad/Keyboard/Your Mom is allowed
-For the tournament portion, participants are allowed to use whatever piece of non-stick crap device they want to use (e.g. pad/keyboard). Be sure that your peripheral is fully operational and compatible. Bring whatever drivers necessary to install so you won't be assed out when your time to play is up. As for Keyboard, you're not using the laptop kb so bring your own shit please. Be sure that your kb/pad/stick does not cause interference (i.e. controlling opposing player), otherwise you wont be able to participate for obvious reasons [*5/8].

-Both players configure their button settings prior to starting their match. Please, for the love of God, take the time to triple check your settings and be sure that your buttons and (cheating ass) marcos/shortcuts are on/off and in the right spot.

-Should you experience mechanical difficulties in the opening of a match, please inform the mods ASAP (not in rd2 or something stupid). The 3 of us will re-test the equipment in question and try to devise a "fair" ruling for the current situation.

Ediquite:
-Shake after pwning or getting pwned. Just cus we hype don't mean we have to be douches.

-We must remember that we are in a public area so PLEASE keep the swearing and profanities to yourself. Children and parents will be in the vicinity of where we will be set up and we need not to draw more attention (esp. to police officers responding to complaints about "a group of loud black people cursing at the top of their lungs. Cus you know we will all catch a club to the dome after that). If you feel the need to cuss, use euphemisms instead such as: "Man, that Akiha AD is such [a beautiful sunset]!"

-Again, don't fucks with the equipment.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***The tournament portion of the event will be held outdoors so in the instance where "undesirable" weather conditions may occur, the casuals will either be cut down so that we have time to run the tournament inside CF OR I will have to postpone the date to the following week. I will be checking broadcasts about 4-7 days in advance to give you all the heads up on whether or not the gathering will take place. If anyone would like to run a ballot for holding the tourney at CF or postponing for another date let me know.***

*Note*
Now because BBG (event after casuals at CF) is being setup pretty much out in the open, the mb station will possibly draw unwanted attention i.e. random kids, parents, bums. This could lead to the more serious unwanted attention (i.e. the po-po) should enough ppl start to take notice. They could also randomly pass by and start to ask questions too. My point is: we got hella lucky last time and didn't get our melty shop closed down and nothing is guaranteed for the tournament portion of this event. Be prepared for disappointment is all im trying to say.

zar are you even aware that your attitude is what drove people off in the first place. i think zar's attitude is worse than all of that. cause neither of you guys mean anything. but zar can poison shit around him. zar's the one that gets personal online and does realtalk that's out of line.

YES! Get hype!  :toot:

Also, the great thing about this is that I don't have to lug my stick there.  :V
But even if sticks weren't provided, I'd still bring my own.
Also, good idea on the 2nd place Snapple. I'm thirsty.

The only way you are using a keyboard in tournament is if you can show that you can't control the opponent's character with it.  Don't even ask about using my fragile laptop keyboard either.  And you aren't putting any programs on my laptop or going into my config files.

This applies to any controller, but keyboards are the only one that I could see having a problem with it.

LOL Whelp, you heard the man! No installing drivers = "Oop Aww" for you....Yet another reason why pad/keyboard = fail.

Made the edit, Zaelar. Any chance you can get your hands on a lengthy extension cord for PLAN C. I'm going to try to haul the one I have but it's not guaranteed. Let me know whats up w/ that plz.

@ Phae:
Be sure to cop some fresh batteries for that boombox bag bangingness!   :psyduck:

Gonna bum it out in just TWO DAYS. AAAAGGGHHH!

While the weather permits does anyone want to run a few friendly MM's?

I figure this would get additional interest and you'll get monies for CF bakery bunz.

So any FT3's for $5?
