I'd really like to go to this. Alot. Probably the first big CC major.
<3
-
I'll be going.
BigE:
Info wise MB teams are usually 2v2 $5 per team member unless we say otherwise.
And any way we can get more megaphones? We'll probably want one per game instead of the one per room we seemed to have at NEC.
-
I'll go only if I can room with someone & CC's port is good. That & if Skullgirls is out
And yes I'll pay to stay.
-
I'll try and make this my first WB.
-
Will be there!
-
I'll be going.

That's st1ckbug's personal megaphone, I'll probably nab one for myself at some point.

Tell me if you're trying to grab one, I can probably get you a discount.
-
Singles have always been on sunday, why do you guys want it on sat.
-
I have a lot of great news for you guys next week.
Namco, FR15, and a few more things get ready.
-
I plan for this to be my last EC tourney before moving back down south so I'm probably in there. Anyone getting a room?
-
Lets go players.

Showing up for that MBAA Current Code!

Link doesn't work & I won't be here for this cause I'm moving, sorry guys, have fun though
-
This will be my first time playing Melty Blood in a tournament setting D: /scaredtodeath
-
i'll be there ofc. let's get some kinda headcount goin' now. i'll want to book a room somewhat soon since they sold out so fast before nec. i assume my usual compatriots will be there, to whom half my room will be open. parking is becoming increasingly a bitch though, so don't fully expect to be able to use room keys for it.
Red Leather Jacket: good luck:) the mb community is famously friendly so relax. but don't drop.
speaking of which, BigEric that parking fee is getting ridiculous. at NEC they were trying to charge even room owners. i know it's not your fault or something you probably have any power over, but man- it's absurd to pay $21 to bring my car to + $7 each time i drive out of a hotel where i am simultaneously booking a room and paying to attend a convention. in practice most people are constantly playing the waiting game at the gate until the desk people just let it open without payment. this only makes the situation even stupider because all they are doing is pestering everyone while overcharging/frustrating the kind of people who actually book rooms. if not for the fact that your tourney was going on there and you got us a sweet bargain on the suites, i wouldn't stay at that hotel solely based on the stinginess and stupidity that the parking situation shows. it's also worth noting that i've never seen their lot reach capacity at one of your events and the hotel isn't exactly in center city or NYC.
-
I strongly intend on going to this. I'm a little worried about the large parking fee that cropped up in my absence, in addition to the raised tournament price. Maybe BigE you could charge say, 15$ for a one day entry fee for the venue, and 20$ at the door. That way if people want to attend all three days, they would get a "discount" by paying your 25/35, but if they attend one day they can save themselves ten dollars. Alternatively, if they came one day and decided to come back for the next, you could actually make more money since they would have to pay the one-day fee twice. This would sort've balance out the raised venue fee.
As for parking, you can't really get a decent meal at the hotel (7$ for a muffin if I remembered) so you have to leave the lot to go out and get something (It's just a highway around the hotel, so you can't walk), and your clients are gamers. Maybe you can get a reduced parking fee for the weekend? It might be hard, but do your best. It's really hurting us little guys who want to play, but can't because that little bit of money between venue and parking is food for the week. You started these tournaments so the players could play right! So, let's do our best together to make the tournament experience friendly and affordable for everyone.
-
I'll be there for cc regardless of irritating parking fees, winter brawl is always a fun and sober event
side note, I strongly recommend people bring bread and peanut butter, maybe an apple or two + a box of cereal to tourneys, makes life waaay easier and is pretty cheap if you go all poverty brands
-
I'll help anyone out with parking if they drive me places
I willlll gooooo no matter what!!
-
The hotel should NOT be charging you for re-entry if you have a room with the hotel. If this is happening, you need to go down to the front desk and get that cleared up. I know it was an issue initially with a couple of people who were staying with me at NEC, but I was able to straighten that out.
I can see why they would be concerned -- it isn't NYC, but it is five minutes from the airport, and if they had open parking, people would abuse the shit out of that (and their shuttles).
side note, I strongly recommend people bring bread and peanut butter, maybe an apple or two + a box of cereal to tourneys, makes life waaay easier and is pretty cheap if you go all poverty brands
This, if at all possible. Hell, even when I fly out I usually bait someone into taking me to the grocery store down the road and getting some random food (usually some granola bars, Gatorade and energy drinks). I know the MD/VA guys brought in a griddle and were preparing eggs, sausage, bacon, etc. on it. Hell, everyone could work together and have a melty breakfast.
-
Will be there for MBCC! Hopefully with my boys from NE
-
Red Leather Jacket: good luck:) the mb community is famously friendly so relax. but don't drop.
Thanks Generic ^_^ It will be able to put faces to some of the names on the site that I have been lurking on for a while (and to get some much much much much needed tournament experience).
Also are there concrete dates for teams and singles? Are they going to be done on the same day?
I'd rather not drive to Philly and back home for both days if I don't have to. =_=

Teams are usually Saturday and Singles are usually Sunday.
-
I hate to hurt feelings, but guys i have nothing to do with the parking lol lol.
And if you players want team to be the same day as singles please post here.
Hurry up and get your room discount, you have until the 15th of feb.
-
So is it safe to say that singles will be on Saturday?
Because if that's the case I can be there 100%
-
lets make this tourney hype :3

If both events were on Saturday I would greatly appreciate it, I probably won't be able to come to both days the event sadly (I'll need Sunday to travel back to my college for I have class Monday morning).
Though I would understand if the more experienced and influential members of this community would like to keep things the way they normally are <:3
-
I will sign up. Add some monies to the pot
-
I'll need Sunday to travel back to my college for I class Monday morning
what I think you meant to say is "I need to skip class Monday to recover from the awesome weekend I will be having"
correct me if I'm wrong

Hey all, just heard from PaperTigre (Aigis) about Melty Blood times for Winter Brawl.
Melty Blood Singles
Saturday, February 18th starting at 2:30PM (run concurrently with Arcana Heart 3 Singles)
Melty Blood Teams
Sunday, February 19th starting at 1:00PM (run concurrently with Arcana Heart 3 Teams)
I'm sure Tigre will make a more formal posting here soon about it but he wanted to let you guys know the times and dates ASAP.
-
Who has a room I could stay in?
-
Looks like I'll be able to make it to singles! :toot:
-
Huzzah! I will be able to participate in singles! :D
And if I find a place to crash I will stay for teams too ^__^
-
I'm sure Tigre will make a more formal posting here soon about it but he wanted to let you guys know the times and dates ASAP.
I ain't posting shit.
Only thing I have to say is that the only seeding will be by region.
-
Someone house me, Mindgam3 and Furok plz
-
Who has got a room or wants to get a room I would like to go. ^^
-
Front page has been updated sorry about the delay everyone.
Also there are only 6 rooms left at the sheraton four points, so please hurry up and get your rooms.
-
So I decided to post over here since there isn't a thread on homingcancel but I'll be coming up for some melty blood grind and ah3 fun. I'm visiting some friends in philly too but I'd like to get as many games in as possible. I haven't decided about doing teams or not :psyduck:
-
I'll fix that no thread on hc thing in a bit. let me get done school work today and it'll get done.
-
If I may ask, I would like to request some space in a room. I am extremely scrunched for money due to the International coordinating for Final Round (I believe soon I might be able to make a very good announcement regarding that!), and would kindly ask for any floor space to pass out on. Before leaving for Japan I've always done my best to help provide these rooms at BIG-E events and setups, and if someone could spare me any accommodations this time, I would be extremely thankful.
Komidol
-
whos bringing setups?
-
whos bringing setups?
I may be able to bring one :nyoro:
-
I can only bring one if I have a guaranteed room..(and if someone wants to scrounge up a pair of speakers, haha)
(Beggars can't be choosers, but preferably not crowded with the potential to spill a beer or soda all over my PC)
-

Wrap your pc in a towel (obv don't cover the fan tho) :3
Also who the fuck has rooms?

I need a room. Floor space is acceptable.

-
I'm staying with a friend so.....you guys better get your room asap!
-
I'll need Sunday to travel back to my college for I class Monday morning
what I think you meant to say is "I need to skip class Monday to recover from the awesome weekend I will be having"
correct me if I'm wrong
Teams usually isn't that long anyway. If it's starting early at 1pm, you will have time to participate. I have class monday morning and leaving too, so.
Anyway found a place to stay (but not in the hotel, so unfortunately I can't lug my setup over), thank you Chris. Be ready to lose at Tanto★
-
Oh, Komidol, you can still bring your setup (if you want to) -- there is more than enough space at my place but we would have to lug it back and forth.
I'm helping with Arcana setups -- I could bring my PC setup for Melty if we needed one... I'd just have to... clean up my computer a bit. :<
-
We need more setups, we only have one confirmed so far
-
Thanks PC release, thanks~
-
I can commit to bringing my PC, but I'm not sure of my monitor's delay -- it may be more than what people want to deal with. I think I may need someone to bring a monitor too...
-
Any delay is unacceptable for tournament.
-
There will always be a delay. But that's semantics :nyoro:
I'm planning on running arcana on CRTs, if I get two setups per game we will be set.
I have two PS3s for Arcana, so that's fine. It seems that we have a confirmed setup between Nadakai's PC and Comics Monitor.
Is there anyone else who can bring a "lagless" setup? my local venue has a set of six Asus monitors, but they're not mine so they're not mine to take.
-
I wil bring you guys some tv's.
Let's go everyone step up.
I was looking like I would have to move you guys to another room, but that's not the case anymore.
You guys will have your own room.
Weds at 5:30pm is the last day to get your hotel discount.
Eddie please post your start times for everything please.
Im trying to get some special prizes for you guys.

Saturday, February 18th starting at 2:30PM (run concurrently with Arcana Heart 3 Singles)
Melty Blood Teams
Sunday, February 19th starting at 1:00PM (run concurrently with Arcana Heart 3 Teams)
The reason we need an extra monitor is because MBAACC is running on PCs, and we need to output to a monitor not a TV. Ah3 can run on a crt, thats no problem at all.
-
Alright if we really need it, I can bring one computer monitor.
It's the least I can do for having to cancel bringing my setup.
-
Anyone have a crashable room?
Also going to need pickup from fob bus spot in Philly...
Yeah, last minute but did you really not see this coming?
If "no" then OH WELLS and I'll see people in St. Elsewhere (i.e. on the internet)
(also, wtf is this venue fee about? jesus)
-
Good Luck to everyone attending WB6. I'll be getting my stream creep on spooky and jaxel streams.
-
I wil bring you guys some tv's.

:laffo:
-
is it worth it to bring a monitor if my computer is not up to tournament standards? It's naturally way better to play a monitor than a laptop screen, I dunno if all the people bringing decent computers/laptops will have monitors with them, anyone bringing a decent laptop but no monitor?
-
Who exactly is running this anyway?
:P
-
My monitor doesn't have a VGA cable, just the standard HDMI. Is this an issue?
-
Who exactly is running this anyway?
:P
PaperTigre is!
My monitor doesn't have a VGA cable, just the standard HDMI. Is this an issue?
Shouldn't be an issue I'm thinking!
Also, AFAIK, we have one desktop setup (mine), with a Evo monitor (Comic's). I still think we need one more full setup.
Tigre, can you comment on this?
-
CT is bringing two setups supposedly, I heard one is netplay and ass though
-

:laffo:
Also since this is on PC now, for the love of god, can someone record tournament matches PLEASE, console was understandable but there's a save feature so there's really no excuse this time.
-
Where do you take the buses to Philly anyway?
I MUST KNOW
Also Paper I want to help you run everything once I get there.
-
Who's going to be at the hotel TONIGHT?
I want games.
-
Where do you take the buses to Philly anyway?
I MUST KNOW
Also Paper I want to help you run everything once I get there.
You must first defeat finding a bus to Philly. (They generally go to Chinatown, so you would need to hop at Market East or 30th St to the Airport).
Ask me when when we're there about running stuff. I need to see how many people are there. There are many words I have to say on this topic. Not on the forums. :nyoro:
-
Just a final reminder,
Singles: Saturday 2:30pm. I will be starting signups at 1:30pm.
Teams: Sunday 1:00pm. I will be starting signups at 12 noon.
Please be there early, I don't want to hear bitching because you were late and couldn't sign up.
I personally will be there around 9am tomorrow to get everything rolling, if you want to show up to help or whatever I'll be there.
As far as replays. i'm going to ask everyone to save their replays (name them x vs y or something that won't be obnoxious to go through later). I'll collect them on a thumb drive or my phone and record them over a few days after WB.
-
I'll be getting there super early so I can help you with setting up ^__^
-
Anybody want a team mate for tomorrow?
I needs one :P
-
I am new and kinda awful but I would love to have a veteran for a team mate :nyoro:
-
For tomorrow? Tomorrow is singles.
-
Are you sure?
I thought singles was Sunday.
@_@
-
are you kidding me chibi he's the goddamned TO
-
Pretty sure it's been posted at least once per page for the last few weeks...
-
My bad, I haven't fully been checking the thread. Kinda skimming it.
You did post it up twice on page 3, I suppose I'm used to the opposite.
Cool <3
-
Yeah, it works better for people who need to get back to school after singles.
I also would rather just cut the bullshit and get into singles, have fun with teams afterwards.
