BBG10 Notes: Make It Happen!
I would like this to be a repeat of BBG7. You know, when we were actually AT the gazebo. Problem is, there's no way this can be done alone. A sizable number of people will have to pitch in to make this work. If you're already a part of this community or even if you're new to the game and you have the drive to see the potential behind it's expansion then volunteering as ABK Staff may be for you. Staff would generally need to provide small donations/contributions (such as loaning speakers, stands, laptops, etc.) for the event or to assist with Moderating (maintaining tournament brackets, assigning players to stations, announcements, etc.). Below is a list of the necessities and contributions to be met ranging from simple to possibly burdensome:

Ok, I'm just going tear the bandaid off and start with the "possibly burdensome". This is most definitely the largest hurdle to leap and without it you obviously have no battle at the gazebo. First off, it's $25 to rent the space for the day . Also it's non-refundable BUT a reimbursement could be arranged provided the entrants unanimously decide that it's okay to dip into the pot to pay back a portion of the money (I took out about $15 when I reserved for BBG7). OR you can be cool and say "I do it for the love, not the money"...Next, the reservations are made online ( https://www.nycgovparks.org/email_forms/specialevent/ ) and by using credit/debit card (fastest results).Finally, how to fill out the form (politics), contacting the mediator and waiting for a reply/call to finalize the date.

If you choose to accept this mission...I implore you contact me first before completing any forms and setting any dates. This issue must be discussed further in detail to avoid any screw ups. Please post if you have questions as I rarely check my pm's and will likely see an inquiry on the forums first. *Articulate chaps are the best candidates for this task. Ghetto is a no-go*  :teach:

Should this altogether fail we always have Plan V.

At least three (3) laptops will be required in order to run the event in a timely fashion (yes, there are time constraints). With that being said, the more laptops the better! More than 5 is overkill though. Just post if you're interested in donating for the day and you will be added to a list. For those who know about my laptop...know about my laptop lol. It will be reserved as a paperweight of some sorts. But in all seriousness, my laptop will probably be used as a back up for tournament brackets in case something should happen to the primary source.

Explosive crowd noises, player expressions, interviews, and just those random wtf-moments is truly the essence of the fighting game event.  Whether you just rocked someone's world or witnessed the most insane comeback, these moments captured via camcorder will allow you to relive the hype over and over again. Donate a camera and become immortalized in the history of yet another beginning for the Akatsuki Blitzkampf US Community.

I would like to interview the top8 players (feel free to decline), capture live screen footage of the top8 matches as well as jump around to the other participants to ask their views about the event and ABK itself. Should anyone be interested in helping out with a camera donation and possibly interviewing/recording please post up. **Good "camera personality" is a plus. Try to keep the swearing and the j*w puncher catch phrase to a minimum...I'm actually thinking about using this for a Sociology project for my class lol**

You don't have to donate persay. Just walk around and have fun. Take shots of the scenery, matches, wackiness, people eating, pimped out sticks, crowds, whatever! If it's related to the event then do you. Pics will hand picked and possibly added to the final product of video production- Which brings me to...

This is going to be a biggie for whoever decides to man up and tackle the task. Anyone with media expertise who can mesh together reps and live footage is definitely needed here. The epic Dippy Pan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiGn8Pdubz0) is an example of exceptional production utilizing dvr and camera footage. Later emulations can be seen by Sp00ky as he produced a large portion of BBG events in the past. I'm not asking for footage to be upped in the same week but within a 2month time span would ease the anxiety of the players hungry to see their gameplay. I wish the best of luck and godspeed to whoever takes this on.

If production becomes a problem then the reps will be upped as usual and placed on youtube by somebody...maybe.

-External Speakers: Can you hear me now?
-Power strips: Because cell batteries and solar power won't do.
-Chairs: for your arse.
-Crates(?): yeah, I know but it's good to rest the laptops on them.
-Tripod: not crucial but it helps.

If you wish to provide any donations, help or whatever it may be please feel free to post up. Opinions and comments are welcome too.

Don't forget your 3 H's.

I'll put you down for (crappy) laptop, power strip and HYPE SPEAKERS(!). The camera may not be necessary as Rithli has volunteered his own. You can choose to still bring yours but it's probably not recommended (more stuff to keep track of)...But a backup on the other hand maybe useful- it's up to you really.

As for your laptop, see if you can at least get it to run ABK at consistent 60fps otherwise we'll just use it for a tourney bracket (I still don't trust my laptop).

Now for Rayza...you can leave that thing home. J/K, J/K. Bring him along and try to get him to tug his tripod with him too. And maybe he can finally get his FIREFOX HAT back from spooky's place. :mystery:

In other news:

Mr. Fox (seen above) formerly Makoto Scrub, has already filed for a venue permit at Columbus Park! We will be gathering information for the next few weeks and will keep you all posted on the results (whether or not his request was accepted and reserved final date).

BIG UPS to Fox for being so damn prompt/HYPE. Good to see the community coming together to make the BBGX project happen. We still have a bit more work to go though. I will post current donations in the bottom half of the first post.

So whats up? If you're gunning for the 20th I can just change the date and re-submit. Not sure about next weekend's BBG though, too short notice for me :slowpoke:

If we use the old hotel, we gotta reserve as soon as someone gets into Chinatown. Price of each room was about $60 last time, so if we get 5 people in one room we can bring costs down to $12 per person. Anyone not wanting to pack themselves with so many people can work out their own room situation

There is also the drinks situation, which will be worked out one way or another :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot: :toot:

...uh-oh. Just curious- how long ago did you attempt this and was it by officers or staff?


ATTENTION!!!

Also, due to a little boo-boo and a misunderstanding, the date has been pushed back to JUNE 20th!!! This is the expected date as reservations aren't set in stone with NYCParks. We may perhaps get the week before or after the date requested and we will definitely keep you all informed as progress is made. Just focus on the tentative date (JUNE 20th) and try to work this into your schedule if you're showing up.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Uhh yeah, this saturday (May 23rd) is still good. Good stuff for trying to make it out to both BBG9 and BBGX as I know you live quite a ways from NYC. If you can't make it to BBG9, don't sweat it. The BBGX runback will give you enough time to gather your funds for leisurely things so you can have a good time when you're out here. Good luck making it to either.

Btw If I'm not too busy in late may/early june I may just try and host a BBG9.5 or something. I would like everyone to get in as much experience as possible before BBGX comes around (myself included).

HAIPU

Hmm that was quite a while back but even then I may have to keep my guard up. Well as I said before when we were running the BBGs last year: you can't expect much from the vendor setup as we are 'borrowing' power in a non-legit manner. We could get shut down at any point...but I guess we got lucky the last 7 times.

Hopefully the venue permit situation is resolved then we won't have to be looking over our shoulders for park staff to roll up (lol sigh, east coast).

See y'all this weekend!

Game: Akatsuki Blitzkampf (PC) version 1131sp1

  • Extended Casual ABK Session and Info Exchange (i.e. you get raped and learn stuff about the game too)
  • Default in game settings (Timer:99, Rounds 2)
  • BBG 1-1-&-1 tournament upon request!
  • Macros: Allowed!
^ Just a reminder.

Man, I can't wait to get in games on Saturday. Gonna play Blitz until my hands break!  :fap:

Making some updates to the BBGX rules. It's pretty minor stuff but still good for the players to know about:

Start/Pause button must be mapped to the keyboard. No exceptions. It's impossible for the two players to accidentally pause the game in this situation. Just do it and there won't be any trouble i guarantee it.

Map buttons properly before you begin your first match. Please don't pause (which will be on the keyboard) at the round start to adjust or double check your button layout. Start up training mode and confirm there if you have to. And please don't ask your opponent at the start of the match "hey, let me check my buttons really quick" then proceed to confirm during a tournament match. This is really annoying and some of the anal players (like myself) believe that every second on the clock counts. Don't fux with the flow.

Random select for stages unless you're playing against a Soldat or Anonym user. This is kinda important lol. Soldat and Anonym have very bright contrast projectiles. On two of the twelve stages these projectiles become extremely difficult to see most of the time (Marilyn Sue [The Docks] & Anonym [The Church]). Unless you enjoy the challenge of playing Where's Waldo with bullets, it's recommended that the stage is chosen manually. Your best bet is to chose a dark bg stage like Soldat's and Adler's. If you've already started a match but forgot to choose the stage just restart before any damage is exchanged.

Teams

Team X
SumAznDude (murakumo)
Rithli (Adler)
Anakron (murakumo)
Jiyuna (sai)

Team O

MasterChibi (tank)
KILLERBOB(from the grocery store) (adler)
Nas (soldat)
Zar (mycale)

...Well, Jiyuna decided to be a gay super-villain and add in some unique rules for this event:
First off, you could not choose any of the characters you used in the single event. (This was horrible for me cus I ran Mari & Wei lol.)

And character lock was enforced. This means the character you chose will be the character you keep for the entire event... :emo:

ok, I lied. I wont post the results now...Instead, you can wait for Rithli to up the vids and see how things went down for your self.

Ok right now I'm just waiting on a reply to see whether or not we will have the gazebo for the 20th.

I can also bring a laptop and a power strip.

And if you guys are REALLY lucky I can steal some milk crates and bring 'em. :teach:

Ok, good stuff there, Fox. I'll throw you down for laptop and strip asap. Also glad you brought up the milk crate thing- completely forgot about that. Gotta see if I can steal the crates I stole from Sp00ky lol. (gonna be a pain in the ass to lug them though). Still, bring your stolen shit too just in case the cops bag me.

I'm bringing "Small Child" so I won't need a chair.
Hey, do you, mang...as long as there's no funny business.

But you have you...CHIBI :toot: :toot: :toot:

Whatever, just hire KILLERBOB to whack someone for you and take their stick. He'll make you do aisle clean up for his pay though so be ready.

I was thinking about setting up a BBG9.5 and trying to collect votes for macro'ing at that point but there's a good chance that this may not happen so I'm just going to ask for people to place votes (via post) in this thread.

I'm sure a lot of people won't care and/or don't macro at all for ABK and as a result I'll end up excluding macros from this event. If there's a demand then no problem.

It's a 3-button layout, Jiyuna. I'm sure it won't hurt your game that much.

i can bring my lappy to this event.. as long as muthafuckas don't fuck it up... or i will be fritz lvl3ing dat ass.. word is bond
Haha, ok. I'll add you to the roster of laptop donations and with your contribution we should be able to run this tourney smoothly now that 3 laptops are avail. Anyone else who' s happens to be lugging a laptop with them to the event and they'd like to also contribute just let me know when you show up at/by the gazebo.

I'll have to add in a "no drinking by the laptops" rule or something so people don't get unblockabled Nas lol.

Good looks, Nas and thanks for your support!





In other news...

I will be issuing several challenges at BBGX!


First,

Ménage à Marilyn Challenge

Myself and any two other Marilyn users who wish join me will take on ANY three-man, mirrored team that steps forward for a Money Match (MM). I'm setting the bet at $5 (per member) but I'm willing to go up to $10/member if my funds look good and of course if my teammates agree to the terms. The conditions are: you must construct a team of 3 players each using the same character (e.g. A-Wei, B-Wei, C-Wei would be considered a complete team for the challenge). I'll even allow macros for the challenge!

Any Mari users out there that want to join in...GET AT ME!! So we can get at these other fools.  >:(


Second,

King of KommentaryKampf
(or something)
HyperHal vs Zar the Biscuit
I got at him on IRC already so Hal knows the deal. I'm setting up a challenge where the winner will be given the honor of Lead Commentary for the Top8 presentation.

Three Judges will be chosen. We each get to chose one of those judges while the 3rd will be chosen by random. I'm actually considering on pulling up some random off the sidelines, who knows jack about fighters, to be the deciding factor. There's bound to be one onlooker that would be willing to do this.

A match will be decided by random. Although a random ABK match would be good, I think it would be more interesting to do commentary-trials for a completely random match from a random fighter (sf4, vf5, t6, etc). This would encourage more versatility, spontaneity, innovation, inebriation (heheh) and creativity when providing commentary for the judges as well as the audience when top8 comes around.

Commentary of the random (abk) match will be performed separately. Meaning neither commentator will be able to hear the others performance. Also, commentators will be providing commentary for the same match with the same judges. Coin toss/dice roll (cus we black) to decide first up.

Winner will be chosen by majority vote among the judges. I'm thinking about coming up with some kind of score card system for in-depth criticism from the judges (winner won't be determined by this though). If anyone has suggestions on how the commentary should be graded/decided your post is most welcome.

If there is anyone else out there who thinks they can best the both of us at BBGX you can come get it too.  :o
Drinking is (highly) recommended.


Finally,


C-Lo Corner Champ
Nas vs Jiyuna vs Zar
If I'm not broke or "done" by then, I'll get at you dudes for some rolls. Someone's got to bring fresh out the pack dice though...I don't trust Jiyuna's "colored" dice lol. Fools gonna get served like "may I take your order?".  :blah:


Once Fox gives the word, imma BLOW THIS SHIT UP!!  :psyduck:

Well yeah, 6/20 is going to happen regardless of whether we get the gazebo or not. Reserving the gazebo however will guarantee us having power for the event versus setting up by the snapple machines and not knowing if we'll get shut down or not. So far we've been really lucky.  :mystery:

Congrats to Fox and hats off to this man, seriously. I just hope no one got shot in the process. But then again, NYCParks is hella gay for sending out the permit (WITHOUT TELLING ANYONE SHIT ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON) one week before the event date lol.

Well, there you have it folks. We officially have shelter from the rain for the day lol. To my peeps who are donating: Don't forget your equip; To my drinkin' people: Don't forget your licks; To everyone else planning to get at this BBGX: Get hype because this shit is going to be sick!

Hope to see you blitz heads soon.

Ok, updated the Contributions/Donations List.

There's a chance that Kirby may not be able to make it out to this one but he's keeping us posted on when the final decision will be made (sometime near the end of the week). With that being said, we could possibly be one laptop shy away from having the targeted 3; which will help the tournament run a bit smoother and keep us within the time slot we have reserved.

So if anyone who has a decent laptop that can run Akatsuki Blitzkampf at at 59-60fps with no "issues", please post up if you'd like to contribute for BBGX.

...Actually, a 4th laptop as a reserve wouldn't be a bad idea and even if Kirby does make it out here (pray, dammit), having a back up for emergencies would be convenient. But right now a 3rd is needed and if Kirby can still make it I'd like for the 4th donor to still follow through.

Here's the current listing:

BBGX Contributions & Donations

Laptops (3) <<EMERGENCY laptop needed>>
Kirbeh, Fox, Nas

Video Camera (w/ possible back up) <<A back up camera may or may not be needed>>
Rithli

Camera (Not camcorder)
<<Volunteers?>>

MISC.
Kirbeh, Zar, Phae

Kirbeh, Zar, Fox

Fox

Kirbeh  :'(


EDIT:
@Fox -- You still good with that Megaphone?  :o

Also, I'll see if I can find time to stop by Sp00ky's to nab some crates. If anyone has something they can bring to stand the laptops on (table, stand, stool) your donation would be appreciated.

LET'S GOoOo!!! Tomorrow is the day, y'all.

Reminder to all: If you miss out on sign ups at CF just show up at the gazebo. I'll be making entries and collecting fees at the location anyhow. Please ppl, try to be there @ 3pm!! I am a punctual person for  the most part and will rarely tolerate lateness. If the first match starts and you haven't been entered in the bracket then you're just plain DONE.

To the people bringing the laptops please do me this favor if you can before making your departure: try to grab up a tournament/bracket making application (Tio and ALJ Tournament Maker are pretty solid). For some reason I'm having issues running ALJ on my laptop and it's likely we'll have to set up brackets on another laptop.

(I need some sleep)

See you all tomorrow!
