We can only freaking hope and pray it will be Larry.
Good looking out for us throughout the years!
Yeah CC BETTER be available by some way by that time, I can no longer wait, hell I'm thinking about saving up to possibly buy a board.Any word on the game release? I want to set my tournament roster after EVO2k11 so I need to know asap.

The last MBAACC update (1.07) is planned for October.A home release in 6 months after is possible but unless we get a word of the exact date from French Bread(they might tell us something about it in September)MBCC making it out for FR is unlikely at this moment.
Since the next version of MBAACC is confirmed for Dec. 31st would it be fair to say someone (Silent Shinobi / Jaxx) will be running a tournament for this game?
I'm pretty sure I told you this on vent Brandino but somehow forgot to post it here. I am willing to make this shit happen. It is going down indefinitely.
Want to drive down Brandino? I'll be back in America for this.

Well since MBAACC PC will be out by then there's no reason NOT to have a tournament for it.Want to drive down Brandino? I'll be back in America for this.
I don't want to drive, but I will consider it.
Since Komidol, Kamina, and Myself was talking about CL going to Hydra JP Championship in Japan I have the idea of pitching in money for him to come down to Atlanta for this Final Round.
Final Round and crew always bring out international players and if you've been to the previous Final Rounds you would also know that Korean players Knee and Nin show up for Tekken. There's no reason why we can't do the same for him. I also know he always wanted to go to a Final Round for the past couple of years. If we can help him get here and show him how we get hype for Melty in "The A" then this can easily be the hypest tournament since NEC X. I'll pitch the idea to him whenever I get a hold of him on MSN.
Komidol and I agreed that we'll split the room and I help cover his fee. Let's really make this FR one everyone will remember.
Well the metropolitan area is home to a huge Korean minority.
Like Koreatown-worthy huge.
So this has been like the fourth year I've been thinking of going to FR (not the fourth year for Melty mind you), but 3 days is rough and paying $50 venue fee for only casual free play (if it will even exist) and spectating for one day is just plain stupid.
Basically without going too tsundere, I need someone to make a decision for me that I can yes man because it's not like I want to go play Melty with real people or anything like that okay?! As long as you understand that... :psyduck:
Canada should come down for this and Brazil better start applying for their passports.
Hi, I'm from Brazil, and I'm not 100% sure yet, but I might be attending to Final Round XV, I'm saving money to go for at least one major tournament in US next year and I think it will be FR again. I'm going for it mostly to play BB (my main game), but I will start playing MB seriously when CC comes out by the end of the year and it will probably be my second main game.
Thanks and I hope that a lot of people will be playing this. I already know some of the game mechanics and some basics of how to use zonning with my main (Aoko, dem orbs), but since CC is in the corner I don't want to study AC any more deeper so I don't have to relearn everything.Hi, I'm from Brazil, and I'm not 100% sure yet, but I might be attending to Final Round XV, I'm saving money to go for at least one major tournament in US next year and I think it will be FR again.

Good luck in getting to Atlanta & MB's a good game to play & what perfect timing with CC around the corner, people are actually going to start playing again. Just brush up on what character you're interested in using & the game mechanics.
I can't do that unfortunately, I have labs on Friday
I can't do that unfortunately, I have labs on FridayIf I see a great amount of people sihn up for MB online then I will move it to sat, but this means people need to pre reg early so I can get a gauge if MB is going to be huge or not. Running 4 huge tournaments on 1 day is crazy talk. The good thing that works in you guys favor is that the game will be on pc so if you supply the pc's it won't take up any of our supplies to run other tournament games.
I can't do that unfortunately, I have labs on Friday
Isn't it next semester though? Your schedule will be the same?

You know I'll tear the goddamn roof off for you Larry. Granted we will do our best to supply whatever we need to make the tournament go by smooth and in a timely fashion. We've done it 2 years straight, so we can damn sure guarantee a 3rd. I'll (or Brandon will) keep you posted on Korean CL's status.Well keep me updated sir because I need to know what the deal is asap. We'll have to get the word out so people will know that FR15 will be the spot for MBaacc next year! By the way how many was at EVO in MB this year? We need to atleast get that many people at FR15. If you guys want MBAACC to get serious chance to be in EVO then a big showing at FR15 will help. With all of the new games being released that KOF13 has a chance to make it if it is big in the scene. Well if you guys show that you can be as big or bigger than skullgirls/kof13/other new games then that will be a leg up on the other games to be included into EVO. I don't know if it would work, but if they are thinking about adding more games it wouldn't hurt to show how much the melty blood community has grown over the years!

The early bird special is 1/2 off for your entry badge at FR15 at the door fee, but will only last for a limited time (the end of Oct)! at http://www.finalround.org/FRXV/index.cfm so if you wait to get your badges you'll add more cost to your trip to Final Round! Take advantage of the deal while it last.(ends at the end of October)
sounds good to me sir!You know I'll tear the goddamn roof off for you Larry. Granted we will do our best to supply whatever we need to make the tournament go by smooth and in a timely fashion.

Next time I see him on MSN I'll be talk to him and give you guys an update.
-snip-
I have a tendency to get overzealous when it comes to getting this damn community hype and usually get burned for my efforts. Despite this, I will leave the moderators with some advice/realtalk as I'm a nice person and all (not really). Whether you choose to actually consider the ideas I have to offer or ignore them, the latter being the standard, is entirely up to you guys. I won't be around to tell anyone "I told you so" should shit outright bomb. And yes, I'm feeling myself right now.
1) Promotional Flyer
Someone with insane or near-insane photoshoppe skills needs to get up on designing a flyer for this. Not for the FR event itself but for the MB tourney and that alone (no offense to ShinBlanka).
Ideas for images to be included:
--Executioner Ciel & Princess Arcuied as these are the new characters being promoted for the upcoming title.
--Crazy/Sexy/Unique fonts that stand out and emphasizes the epicness that is to come several months from now.
--An image of CL (the player) if possible OR a silhouette of CL's image would be cool too (he'd probably appreciate the discreetness of the latter though). If no images can be found of CL or if he's not up to having any form of his image on a flyer then the designer should settle for just an img of Ciel (the character) or find some way to hype up the presence of a foreign, high-status player appearing for this event.
--Mention presence of other nations at this event (once confirmed). Make it a big deal that this may in fact be the first big international event for MB outside of evo2010.
--Flyer should be flexible enough to add in modifications before final print (post flyer on meltybread for feedback)
Now I'm not sure if ShinBlanka is holding another event before FRXV next year but the mods need to get up on finding out asap and speak to someone who can put together a decent flyer to be handed out at this event prior to FRXV. AND even if for some reason flyers cant be handed out sometime before FRXV, someone should submit this flyer to ShinBlanka and request he post it on the FR website. Both handouts and img upload to a site should be implemented imo.
2) Promotion Video
Again, get someone w/ the talent to put something together. Perhaps a compilation of footage of MB events hosted at previous FR's mixed w/ footage of the guest attendant (CL). Or maybe a timeline of sorts, displaying the most ridiculous moments of US mb history then foreshadow the epicness that has yet to come (FRXV of course). We've got 3mths before CC is dropped and this is plenty of time to consort w/ the talent we have in our community who can put something together. Pushing out two trailers for this would be ideal but realistically we should have at least one super-high quality (and original) trailer ready by December-January.
3) International Affairs
Get the word out. Make this a huge fucking deal. If people have to work 3 jobs to fly halfway across the world to make it to the next FR, then so be it. Make them (the international MB scenes) WANT this shit. We have members on meltybread who have MB sites up for their respective countries (ie Brasil, Japan, China and parts of EU iirc). Collaborate w/ them and gauge their interest in an international MB event and if they're for it, have them blow it the fuck up on their site! Six months is ample time to gather up funds to make it out to this but you guys have to act now.
4) Raido Promotions
I'm looking at two ppl right now and you know who you are lol. You dudes have to drop a fucking super nova on this FRXV MB event. Try to set up interviews w/ the MB moderators for the event, maybe even shinblanka, and get them to express their views about the FRXV MBAACC and what they expect from the tourney and the community in the upcoming months. Anyone else who has some stream shit or radio show setup, dont wait for someone else to go in on this. Set up interviews and discussion too!
5) Demonstration Videos post-CC (PC)
I don't know about the rest of you guys but when CC drops, I'm hitting the lab w/ force. I intend to crack this game like eggs and will be documenting every piece of new info I come across. IMO, when the time comes, we should be going in like SRK (sorry, I had to say it) and saturate the fuck out of the home page w/ videos of new findings, setups, tutorials, combo vids, hi-lvl play, streams and whateverthefuckelse type of recorded media we can throw up there. Keep that home pg poppin'.
After reading Komidol's (much appreciated) blog post about the fate of the international scenes, I've come to realize that will always be and have always been on our own with this shit. We need to just do us and stop trying to cater to other fg communities (w/o trying to tear them down in the process). We have the resources, the talent, and the vision. People now are just going to have to wake the fuck up, get up and get theirs because this certainly will not grow on its own. Whether or not we get into EVO next yr. is not an issue atm. We need to grab THIS opportunity by the balls and CRUSH all opposition (pretty picture, aint it?)
Get yours.

p.s. Fuck the fatcats for giving us the runaround
I want to try making FR XV avatars for melty, anyone want to help?ffffff and give up my current gdlk av?
Keep up the good brainstorming fella's! I'll get on a podcast show on any sunday I don't have a home football game. (I'm a atlanta Falcons season ticket holder)
I think I have to work and I work the night shift. So if i work friday it turns into sat morning also. When i get home I sleep until atleast 8pm. Then i get ready for work. So if I don't have to work on sat night then I can do the show sat evening around 8-9pm.Keep up the good brainstorming fella's! I'll get on a podcast show on any sunday I don't have a home football game. (I'm a atlanta Falcons season ticket holder)
If you're free this Friday or Saturday then Shinobi and I can do FR show.
Edit: Yes I know it's 5 months too early, but with the potential hype it has now there's no reason to hold off on it until then.
And while on the topic of international players possibly coming into attendance, who's going to be able to translate for them?

I honestly think it's premature to start collecting money for anyone to attend FR at the moment since we don't know the quality of the port yet. Right now it looks like the CC port is at the bottom of the company's agenda with UNIB approaching and it's highly possible that the port will be sub-par. Not going to say it will be ass, because it might be awesome, but this isn't even a standalone release yet. I don't think we should be flying anyone out to play the mb equivalent of AH2 ps2
I personally don't want people choosing between nec or FR. :-X Those are the 2 major tournaments for MB period. The tradition is there so don't kill that. There's always risk in anouncing new games. I took a risk on putting the new MB in the official tournaments of FR15 without seeing if the game is good or if the people will play it at all. I did the same with KOF13 because every community needs that support to grow. Life is about risk imo. The bigger the risk the higher the reward imo. If the port is ass should I remove it from te tournament? I wouldn't do that unless the players wouldn't want to play it at all. I love the passion and resolve you guys are posting with. I would say 1 thing though. If you wait to get the process going on flying a ITP to FR15 then you'll run the risk of the flight getting higher in price. I've flown out Nin and Knee from korea, so I know how the price of flights can jump up in 1 week. When you get the hype vid ready please get it to me so I can put it up on the finalround website. I have 1 request. Profanity needs to be at a minimum as i'm trying to market FR to potential sponsors. Thanks for the support fella's! FR is only 5 months away! The early bird special ends at the end of THIS MONTH!
Well, this tournament is quite sometime from now, but I would like to offer my support... its not much but since I most likely can't go.
I can donate some money to help get people there as long as there's a stream to watch :D
No really, if it helps the community and gets people to the tournament then yeah for sure.
I'd just like to see how the port's going to be, and how easy it will be able to get before doing anything quickly.

We will have 2 streams for FR15, so If the MB community gets CL to FR15 we will be showing MB on one of the streams! and not just top 8 either.
Ok I'll hit up Kamina.
And I thought you could get more exposure / hype through Breadcast, so let me know when you're up for it.
Broly Cirno? Oh lawd.
sounds good to me sir.Ok I'll hit up Kamina.
And I thought you could get more exposure / hype through Breadcast, so let me know when you're up for it.
I think it'll be a good idea on doing a breadcast the week after SB. I was going to ask Larry if he would be open on doing a Donjon cast on the 30th since the Falcons are at away and he should be free.
And I'd also be down for breadcast too.
Kamina: WTF why was that so hype.

Anyone know how to get from ATL int. airport to the venue? The airport is clear on the other side of the city. Should I take a train, taxi, bus, or rent a car?
I can't find flights to the closer, and smaller, airport PDK (DeKalb-Peachtree).
-TexasTim-
I'm pretty sure you can take Marta transit to get there from ATL Int. Airport
we all got an idea on IRC that we could sell shirts at FR (I hope Larry doesn't mind)Alright guys, following along with what ehrik "lowspeed" ehrikson said here, what I want posted is ideas for a design on shirts for FR. The more input we have, the more we can work with and be flexible. In fact, I'll start, how about one with the carnival phantasm ED picture with all the characters with the logo on the bottom? Sounds kinda gdlk to me. So share your ideas, express that style, and generate that hype. You've got the floor community, hit FR with your best shot.
Dunno yet what to put on the shirt, something mbread+fr/melty+fr related (then we gotta figure out if theres any legal issues with that)
Idea was basically just to sell shirts for exposure for the game at FR, and do SHIRT MATCHES, where the winner gets a shirt for free, and the loser has to pay for one but gets a shirt anyways. Debating on what to do with profits, either just selling the shirts straight priced or just putting profit into FR pot for mb.
just an idea

Yo its me its me doren2k aka da gawd, aka mixups so hot make the sun seem cold, aka the best moyako alive. I might be back in the states I'm time to go to this aka im winning this shit again. Guess i got my swagger back.......... TRUTH. :teach:OH SHIT IT JUST GOT REAL!!!! :toot: The former champ is coming back to claim his title!! :toot: ;) Will Doren snatch his title back or will LK reign supreme? Or will an international star come from across the water and whoop everyone? The hype meter is increasing!
How much would you guys love me if I moved Melty to sat? :mystery: OK I decided moved Melty to SAT!!!!! :prinny: :toot: Don't Let me down fella's!

So who wants to win aka team with da gawd I'm like 1000% going I think.
3v3 Pokemon single elim or 2v2 Waseda single elim, just like Mikado. It would be a nice gesture to the incoming international force. It's fast, and would give us a fun time on the tourney floor. I'm sure you people just want to rush down casuals on Friday.
I can't express how fucking hype I am now that Larry made that announcement. Someone just do it for me lol.
Ever since I got my recording equipment, I've been working on an AMV using, pretty much exclusively, MB footage that I've recorded. Even if you guys don't use it for anything, I am planning on putting Final Round and CC promotions in it.Are you the person that will make the hype trailer for mb at FR15? I would rather you not use the logo. I would really like to speak with you on skype before you do anything involving the Final Round name. If you can pm me your skype name so we can talk later this evening sir.
I was wondering if I could have permission to use the Final Round logo that's on the homepage of the Final Round site: www.finalround.org (http://www.finalround.org). The image in question is also attached to this post.
Planning on having it done by the end of Dec. before CC is released.

Might wanna ask Brandon that. He talks to CL almost daily. If I see him on Skype tonight, I'll ask. I will say that since the tournament was moved to Saturday, CL and JP chances of showing up have been raised by hype percent.

I sent a PM to both of you. Maybe I should be going through Shinobi (and the group already organizing and talking to FR staff) before I go directly to you ShinBlanka. That way you're just talking to one guy from our community instead of how ever many random guys.

As of right now AFAIK, I think it's you & Jazz, can't speak for anyone else so I suppose you should ask them.

From AZ, I know that Choco, Jaxx and myself all plan on going. There are some other players (H-F Blade, Tempered, Ryd) who have expressed interest but have logistical issues to solve before they can go.
With the new year upon us there is only 60 DAYS until FINAL ROUND 15! Make sure you pre register for badges and games at http://www.finalround.org/FRXV/index.cfm and reserve your room under the Final Round group rate at https://www.starwoodmeeting.com/StarGroupsWeb/booking/reservation?id=1109065066&key=7A7BA
FINAL ROUND 15 will be here before you know it people! Pre registering online is the only way you will assure yourself proper placement in the brackets away from people you normally play against. If you walk up at the door on friday to register you will be place in the next availible spot. If that spot is against your hommie that you traveled with then oh well.
(players will be placed/seperated in the brackets by area "State/City", and Skill level "Last years placing at FR and other tournaments rankings" when they pre reg online)
The main reason we have the online pre-register option is to get as many people prepaid, so we can make the brackets 2 days prior to the event. With brackets already made this allows us to start the event ON TIME instead of 2-3 hours late! The most reason any tournament starts late is because of the at the door/event registration and making brackets after the majority of people have signed up at the event instead of online. Please help us make FINAL ROUND run as smoothly as possible by pre-registering online. It's also cheaper to pre reg online than pay at the door/event registration, so it's just better for you as the gamer to pre-reg online if you know you are attending FR15!

Be seeing you guys there. ;D
As with most Final Round tournaments, there are always special events. In conjunction with the hype video, there should be a special event with the community where skill, hype, and community are being displayed in high volume.
I have 2 events that we can look to be doing at Final Round. Only one will be chosen due to ensuring everyone's time is made enjoying the tournaments and running casuals:
1) Character matches. Put about 10-15 good players names with character variety in a hat and play a 3/5 match. Sort of the like the old GG Gamechariot character matches.
2) Red vs. White. Get all the who's who in American Melty and just have a hype ass team battle.
ALSO, I need a setup count for Larry. Post here if you are bringing a desktop, laptop, or monitor.

Rayza notified me of 3 setups MD will be bringing. Seven setups ought to be enough to do what we need to do. I am closing down setup invitations now. If the aforementioned cannot make FR for any reason, I will consider setups then.Unless we get over 256 players in the melty tournament the max of 6 set up's will be needed.
To double check w/ Larry, the waiver for bringing setups to Final Round tournaments still applies this year right?
Hi, I'm not sure if this was mentioned already and sorry if it was (I skimmed through the thread and checked the site too) but do you guys know the best way to get from ATL airport to the hotel? I google mapped it and it seemed kinda far....I'd like to avoid taking a cab but if necessary, do you know an estimate of how much? X (

With FINALROUNDBATS season #2 completed we would like to congrat the winners of season#2 in the following games:
FRbats season #2 CHAMPION of Tekken6 is "AO" as he is the #1 ranked TTT2 player and T6 player in Japan!
FRbats season #2 CHAMPION of UMVC3 is "Ageo Joe" (aka Kusoru) as he is one of the Best Marvel players in the japanese umvc3 community and he is looking to show his skills at FRXV!
FRbats season #2 CHAMPION of SSFIV AE v.2012 is "Abelity" with his Abel is coming to scoop the competition at FRXV! Don't sleep on him or you will get SCOOPED!
Also "Frieda" is coming to FRXV to represent in his favorite game UMvC3. He is one of the best Marvel players in the japanese UMvC3 community and he is also coming to show his talents at FRXV.
Last year 1 man named Tokido came to FRXIV and took top 2 through top 8 in almost every game he entered. With a 1 man invasion japan did very well last year at FRXIV, but now there is a team coming! There's more news coming soon on more international guest attending FRXV in the up coming days so get hype because this years event will truly be worthy of being the 15th Anniversary of FINAL ROUND!

The community will be having their own foreign players as well so stay tuned Larry, I'll let you know once I hear more details.
I am here to help.
I'm sorry to sound critical, you guys are my bros, but really we can't have this "Well have fun whoever is going"-attitude.Sorry It would cost me roughly $500 to get down to Atlanta to go to Final Round, and that I need that money to go to school in the summer. Sorry for putting my education in front of Melty Blood.

Activate those hype circuits and roll out!
How are the brackets going to work? I don't think anyone wants to fight their local buddies first match.
Really looking forward to this.There should be a pretty good amount of ps2 converters floating around, but yeah like ehrik said just pick up one of these so there's no worries: http://etokki.com/Xtokki360
I have one question: I play on PS2 pad/SIXAXIS/etc (whatever the PC I'm playing on at the time is compatible with), but I don't have a PC converter. Would I be fine bringing my SIXAXIS or would someone be there to provide a converter?

Can we get a running room count and list people who have room (whether or not you have space)? I can continuously edit this post. Some people sounded off, but I would like to have a collective and organized list going in. This should sort of be regardless of if you plan on having people over, what the individual rules will be. Just who you have to talk to about the room and who might be there.This is so hilariously wrong I'm still laughing reading this list.
I can start us off, this is what I heard or expect from previous tournaments, correct me if I'm wrong.
Reimu's Shrine: Bellreisa-Dippy
Mahjong & Tanto Casuals (Tournament Organizers Room): Komidol-Brandino
Team St1ckbug: St1ckbug-Lord Knight
MD/VA Medivac: Rayza-Rei
Dumba's Yugioh Cosplay Room: Dumba(Malik)
Serious Streaming Setup Room: SK, (TeamSp00ky?)
Hmm... Who's coordinating teams on friday?

MD/VA having a room together when they've posted in this thread that they're so disorganized that they don't have a room for anyone right now? St1ckbug giving a shit about MB? Hollywood Sp00ky giving a shit about MB when he has reality shows to produce? Bell and myself rooming together (unless you want a double homicide to happen)?
I've also heard some bad things about FR with regards to MB, but I'm going to just passively-aggressively mention it since I'm not exactly clear on it... other than the fact that if you are going to FR you need to pre-register; ShinBlanka keeps posting this for a reason other than his own well-being (although it does help that too).
MD/VA still needs a room. Or are we gonna be homeless in Atlanta?
The problem is, I'm the only one with a credit card. I won't have enough on there to put the hotel up because I'm also paying for my school tuition... Will go over the max. And I would rather have more than 4 people per room to split the cost more. #ecpovertyIf worst comes to worst, you can use my card if
Nah don't worry, I think we got this.The problem is, I'm the only one with a credit card. I won't have enough on there to put the hotel up because I'm also paying for my school tuition...

Nah don't worry, I think we got this.Fair enough.
Also I wouldn't do that anyway, I let someone use my card once and didn't get paid back, I just think it's a bad idea overall since I don't see you face to face :/

likewise with $NJ$ room; serious ballin/sleeping room. everyone who is just now trying to arrange a room: you are dumb but lucky that shinblanka got an infinite discount deal. just book another room; 120$ between 4 people is no big deal and you all get bedspace.Hey man The Final Round Group rate is $93 per night. It shouldn't be $120 per night!
generic btw
Have any news of Garu and Chelsea coming back been posted on any fg news sites? I don't see any...
You could write an article for our site and I could relay it to SRK / Iplaywinner.
They're completely random with what they want to post up.
Hell SRK has done more Melty articles then Iplaywinner has.
:P

I can try and get the info put on IPW. :teach: :toot:
what size teams are we running
AFAIK Teams are 3v3.
Who are all getting to the venue on Thursday? My plane touches down at 5:48PM so I should be at the venue around 7:00 - 7:45PM
Everyone knows that people are going to register at the door despite online registration being available to them & I'm going to sign up at the door because on the website my username is still "dumba989" & that is no longer my tag, however IF my tag can be changed to what I want it to be then I will register online & that's how it always works, if you give people the option to pay at the door, they they will because to them there is no incentive for paying for your games online even though this gives Organizers a hell of an easier time.
you realize you pay more at the door right?Registration for the game is going to be more at the door? (I'm genuinely curious about this) Or is Venue fee going to be more at the door
Registration is 10$ either way. That goes to the game's pot. Venue is 40$ at the door, 35$ for pre-registration.
Yeah, I've done this last year or the year before. My new account was deleted for being a duplicate account. The Tag/Nickname info on the registration page should be made editable, and not automatically be set to the username for the account.Everyone knows that people are going to register at the door despite online registration being available to them & I'm going to sign up at the door because on the website my username is still "dumba989" & that is no longer my tag, however IF my tag can be changed to what I want it to be then I will register online & that's how it always works, if you give people the option to pay at the door, they they will because to them there is no incentive for paying for your games online even though this gives Organizers a hell of an easier time.

Question: Is there any etiquette surrounding the level of play expected in an event like this?
Having played MBAA for less than three months, and really fighting games in general for probably less than six total, would it even be worth registering for the tournament? I am interested in attending, but it would be my first proper event and I have no idea about these things. Is having cannon fodder for the first rounds a good thing, or is quality valued enough over quantity that someone like myself should not waste the time needed for the matches? :psyduck:

Question: Is there any etiquette surrounding the level of play expected in an event like this?Every person who enters a tournament contributes to the game's community. Even if a tourney is free-entry, having more players is always better. A game starts to die when the only people who enter at tournaments are good players.

Garu has just informed me Chelsea ran into a significant amount of financial trouble recently, and had to cancel his plans.
:prinny: However, a different competitor will be joining him on his flight over in Chelsea's place. :prinny:
yeah but for instance chibi is a regular to NEC and he's still free. seriously, if two kohaku's come from japan i'm gonna be >:|
Hey ShinBlanka, how much of a pain would parking at the hotel be? It's Atlanta and all so I shouldn't be getting my hopes up...but it's also a hotel :V Just wondering if it should be able to accommodate the influx of people or not.It should be fine as parking is free at this hotel.
It should be fine as parking is free at this hotel.I just came
accepting iamp money/alcohol matches.i knew i could count on u
I will rape anybody in efz.
My group of friends are driving down Saturday morning, because I have class on Friday that I cannot skip.
One of our group wants to enter SF4, but I was wondering if I could get him in a later pool, just in case we hit traffic or something in the morning.
Is there an email address or something I should contact to settle this matter?
Very pumped about this tournament.
Looks like I'll be going after all :toot: :toot:
Cheers to my first Final Round!
This would be my first FR. This would also be my first East Coast event. Also first time away from California under my own accord.I'm in the same boat as Numakie. First FR and first time traveling to the East Coast.
Just arrived on the first world :toot: I'm looking for casuals, so if anyone who's already in Atlanta wanna play some just PM me.

I couldnt get the money to go..
In what link will the matches be streamed on Saturday?
I'm pretty sure you can take Marta transit to get there from ATL Int. Airport
Thank you. You are correct. Mantra transit Red line from Airport to Dunwoody stop. The hotel looks to be 1-2 miles away from the stop.
What methods of transportation are available from the airport to the venue, that aren't too expensive? :psyduck:You can take a train to the hotel, just take the red line from Marta subway station from the airport and stop on Dunwoody station, there you can call to the hotel and they will send a shuttle to pick you up, or you can stop on Medical Center station and go walking to the hotel (I did that since my cellphone doesn't work on US,and I REALLY don't recommend doing that, seriously, try to find a way to call the shuttle).
