The 16th installment of FINAL ROUND is back and better than ever!  Thank you to EVERYONE that attended FRXV in making it the biggest Fighting Game Tournament on the East Coast with over 1500+ competitors from around the world competing to be the best in their favorite games.  With Japan shocking the world with FinalRoundbats season #2 champion Kusoru "Ageo Joe" winning UMVC3 at FRXV on American soil with his V.Joe, Frank West, Rocket Racoon team made for high drama!  What surprise's will happen at this years event?  We hope that everyone that attended FRXV will come back and bring 5 friends with them.  The location of the event is as followed:

Location:

Hilton Atlanta Airport
1031 Virginia Avenue

Yes we are happy to return to the Hilton near the airport for FRXVI.  Players that fly to FRXVI will be a 3 minute shuttle ride from the venue.  There's a FREE 24 hour shuttle from the Airport to the tournament venue so no expensive cab rides from the airport this year.  This location also has plenty of places to eat inside the venue and around the venue and it is PET FRIENDLY for you guys that bring your pets to the tournament.

If you plan on driving you might as well ride on MEGABUS!  You can't get tickets until the event is 2 months away, but I sent players from GA to ECT4 in NJ for 80 round trip and that was buying a ticket the day before the event.  If you get it 2 months in advance it will cost you like 40-50 bucks at the most!  I still don't understand how megabus makes any money. :mystery:

On number of travelers. They spread the operating costs among all the people riding. If you have 40 people making that trip per bus you get 1600-2000 per bus.

If I'm coming down, I'm probably flying. Don't want to deal with a 10 hr ride. Not bringing my laptop if we go that route, but I presume you'll have enough setups for Melty without me contributing.

- 99 seconds.

- Winner cannot change characters but allowed to change moons.
- Loser can change both if he wants.
- Eclipse Moon characters are banned.
- Archetype Earth "Megaman" glitch is banned.

That's pretty much it. If I'm missing anything, someone let me know.

Wouldn't the glitched throw infinites (with KohaMech and Kouma) also be banned? Granted, the easiest solution is to just make sure everyone is running 1.4, where all of that is fixed.

If you haven't reserved your hotel room under the FINAL ROUND group please goto the following link to secure your room during FR 16 at:

 

https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=9735526

 

The Hilton @ Atlanta Airport has a inside heated pool, a nice resturant, a full Sports bar, coffee spot, and a barbershop in the hotel for FR16. So if players want to get a nice hair cut before they step on to the top 8 stage they can get it done in the hotel! What event can you get a hair cut at inside the venue?!?!?!?!? None that i've heard of, but that's one of the things you can enjoy while being at the venue for FR16 besides the event itself.

 

Don't wait too late to get your rooms because they are starting to go quickly. You don't want to have to search for a hotel last minute and have to get up earlier just to walk or ride a cab to the tournament venue because all the rooms are sold out? Of course you don't, so get your rooms today! See you guys in 104 days! HYPE!

Hey Shinblanka,

 

Utah crew will be up here for third year straight. Always a lovely time. Is this the same ballroom as 2011 or did you get a bigger one? After least year, you guys are gonna need a lot of space. This is one of the best tourneys to go to folks. . .can't wait to see who comes from Japan for Tekken, Marvel, and SF4. See ya soon.

 

had

 

Yes this is the same venue we had in 2011, but we'll have 2 other ballrooms in that same area to equal 12,000 sqft in total tournament area space. It's always good to have Utahs best come to the EC and compete in FR16. There's some more news to come for FR16 in the up coming weeks so stay tuned! With last year event having 400+ in ssf4 and umvc3 we are planning for 512 in each of those games and at least 300 players in TTT2. That's why we have to goto the keits/Evo 16 man pool system for FR16 to control the crowds and run things on time. Our goal is to complete everything on time this year, so people will have more time to enjoy the event and the city.

 

Online registration is the key to getting everything done in a timely manner. We urge everyone register online for their badges and games asap, so we can properly make the pools in advance and post them 3-7 days prior to the event date. If you do the emergency registration at the door you'll only have a 4 hour window on thursday evening (7pm-11pm) and friday morning (8am-12noon) to register for tournaments during the event and you WILL NOT BE SEEDED IN ANYWAY! You'll be placed in the 1st available spot in the pools and no effort will be used to seed you by skill level or by city/state. Door registration is one of the main reasons why any event start late IMO.  I was going to eliminate at the door registration at this event, but I do understand that it's hard out there these days and sometimes people don't have the money to attend until the last minute.

 

IF that happens and your only option is to sign up at the event at least you have a chance to compete, but we will not remake/reseed the brackets/pools for anyone that signs up late. The pools will start on time. We can't hold up the pools to reseed them for those that didn't register online. So we at FINAL ROUND are asking everyone that seriously plan to attend FR16 to use the online registration to help us run a smooth event. It not only helps us make the pools well in advance, but it's also cheaper to sign up online than at the door. (online reg = $40 and at the door emergency reg = $50)  We hope to see everyone that came last year at FR16. Thank you guys for your continued support and i'll see you in March!

(Note: please allow up to 1 week for processing from the time you register to show up in the system)  Pools will be completed after online reg ends, but the more people we have online register earlier the sooner we can start and complete the pools!

Is there any news of any Japanese Melty players attending this upcoming Final Round?

: Re: March 29-31 2013 Atlanta, Ga. "FINAL ROUND XVI"
: ShinBlanka February 07, 2013, 03:59:14 AM
If you want to get a room at the venue you need to do so quick because all of the double bed rooms are sold out and I don't know how long until we reach full capacity for the hotel. If you plan to attend FINAL ROUND 16 you might want to grab those rooms up before they are all gone. At this moment they have Single King Bed rooms still available to reserve with a roll out bed on request. One of the questions i've received is "Do they charge my card before I arrive at the hotel?" We don't have any none refundable rooms on our group block so they shouldn't charge you when you make the reservation. The link to the tournament venue is http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm
 
See you guys in 49 days and 16 hours!

Does anyone have space for two on their room from thursday to monday?

EDIT: nevermind, I'm fixed now.
So while preforming a hotel room check for the rooms available via the FR16 group rate I compared the normal rate to what they have available and what I had available. The double beds are sold out for standard and executive rooms in the entire hotel. At this moment we only have Standard Single king available for the low price of $93 per night and you may request a roll out bed.

http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm (http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm)
 
Or you can goto Hilton's official site at

https://secure3.hilton.com/en_US/hi/reservation/book.htm?execution=e1s1 (https://secure3.hilton.com/en_US/hi/reservation/book.htm?execution=e1s1)
 
and you'll see the rooms are $129 per night to reserve or $114 if pay for the room in advance, but it's none refundable if you do that. I don't know how much longer this rooms will be available, but they are trying to sell the same rooms at a higher price on the hilton website, so if you want to save at least $30 per day on your hotel room you better snatch up the last few rooms available! No sleeping in the hallways/lobbies people. lol 

The funny thing is the people that normally get rooms hasn't got their rooms yet! I know what I will be asked in 4 weeks. "Are there any more rooms available?" and my reply will be "Sorry man, but FR sold out a 507 guest rooms hotel from March 28 --> April 1 like 2 weeks ago." Don't be that guy that ask me that question in 4 weeks. Reserve that room right now while it's still available.
: Re: March 29-31 2013 Atlanta, Ga. "FINAL ROUND XVI"
: ShinBlanka February 14, 2013, 03:22:30 AM
Ok everyone ask and you shall receive! With over half of the building sold out and our group doubled the amount reserved for us I had to sign an additional contract to get the remaining rooms released to you at the FR rates! At 6pm tomorrow all of the remaining rooms will be released! I don't know how long they will last so you better get them at 6:01pm to make sure you get a room. Here's the link: http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm


Also for those that was waiting for their check they will not charge your card before you arrive at the hotel so you can feel safe that they won't charge you.

There's only 19 days left until online registration is closed, so make sure you get your badge + your games registered before the deadline ends!  The only way to ensure you being properly seeded is to online register. Online registration ends 2 weeks before the event so it would allow us to make the pools a week in advance and post them 3 days before the event. That way everyone will know what pool and what time they need to report to their pools.


We need your help to make sure everything starts on time/on schedule and pre registering online is a vital part of the process!  If you do sign up at the door for your games it will be $10 more than the online fee. ($40 online and $50 at the door) Also you won't be seeded in ANY MANNER if you sign up at the door. You will be placed in the next available slot in a pool. We can't spend 1-2 hours reseeding the pools because people want to be lazy.  Goto the following link to register online:

http://www.finalround.org/register.cfm


There's only 14 days until the FINAL ROUND hotel group rate will end and I added more rooms so you guys would have a chance to get a room under the FR group rate ($93 per night) instead of the $150 per night without the fr group rate.  Goto the following link to reserve your room before they are all gone:


http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm


I don't know if everyone realize it, but there's only 34 days until the hype is upon us shawty!  Stay tuned to WINTER BRAWL 7 stream on team spooky for the newest FR16 trailer!

Yo ShinBlanka, what's the closest MARTA station to the Hilton venue? Google Maps is saying it's a few miles away, meaning a bus ride might be necessary. So...bus or bust?

Looks like those bushes in front of the Hilton might be looking comfier by the days.

Ride to the airport and get on the hilton shuttle. If you don't or can't get on the shuttle I think East Point station is the closet.  You need to look up the bus route also, because I know theres a bus that rides by the hotel, but I don't know what station it comes from.

If you haven't online registered for the HYPEST event in the FGC (FINAL ROUND 16) then you only have until 12 midnight PST or 3am EST to do so. I'm extending it for the west coast people i've received emails from that they could register when they got off work but it wouldn't be before 12 midnight est. go to http://www.finalround.org/register.cfm and

PLEASE READ THE TEXT IN RED BEFORE YOU TRY TO REGISTER!!!!!!!! IT HAS VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU TO READ TO COMPLETE YOUR ONLINE REGISTRATION JUST IN CASE YOU GET A 405 ERROR WHILE REGISTERING.
 
You also have only 2 hours 17 minutes to book your hotel room under the FINAL ROUND group rate. If you wait you will be paying $150 per night instead of 113 per night. Goto http://www.finalround.org/location.cfm and get your room before the rate is done!

There's been a flood of players registering today and we appreciate everyone that is coming to FR16

Online registration for FR16 is now closed as of 9:00 AM EST on 3/16/2013. If you registered between 3/13/2013 and this morning, your name should show up in the system under "Player Schedule" by 11:59 pm on Sunday 3/17/2013. There was an overwhelming number of registrations - thanks to all of you that chose to register online! It will save us all time and trouble at the event this year!
 
Emergency onsite registration will be held at the venue on Thursday, 3/28/2013 from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm and on Friday, 3/29/2013 from 8:00 am to 12:00 noon. These are the ONLY times that onsite registration will be available, and we will only take registrations for a game while there is enough availability in the brackets, so the best bet to ensure your entry into an event is to get registered at the door as early as possible!!!

Hello everyone,
 
I have some very important news to tell you guys before FINAL ROUND 16 is upon you. Thanks to everyone that registered online. As of 11:30 pm EST, all registrations have now been processed in the FR registration system. PLEASE go to the "Player Schedule" link and confirm your information - if your name does not appear, or if there is a mistake, please email BobSmack at webmaster@finalround.org AS SOON AS POSSIBLE as pool creation will be starting this week.

 With that being said I have to do something that i've never done before and I will have to issue caps on games to properly plan a schedule for this event. We are going to start the process of making pools this week, so by 3 days before the event we will have preliminary pools posted. Those that haven't registered online will have to register at the door on Thursday March 28 between 5pm-9pm or Friday March 29 between 8am-12noon.

 After that there will not be anymore registrations taken at the door, so I advise everyone that didn't register online to try their best to get to the venue on thursday to make sure you have a chance to enter the hypest tournament in the MILKWAY!

 The cap means that we think these games are either close to reaching these caps or they will equal those bracket levels once we close emergency door registration:

 Ultimate MVC3: 512
 Super SF4: AE v2012: 512
 Tekken Tag 2: 512
 Street Fighter x Tekken: 256
 King of Fighters 13: 128
 Persona 4 Arena: 128
 Mortal Kombat 9: 128
 Soul Calibur 5: 128
 Dead or Alive 5: 128
 Melty Blood AA: 64



Also any player that DID NOT REGISTER ONLINE WILL NOT BE SEEDED IN ANY MANNER!  These are the rules!

Anyway, won't be surprised of top8/top4 gets sneaked into one of the main streams again this year. I think ShinBlanka has pulled strings for MB heads in the past. Also, extremely surprised at 60+ entrants for pre-reg. Perhaps MB lives on in the South!? :mystery:

2) Inso
3) Voomer
4) ZomB
5) MadScientist
5) SilentShinobi
7) kara palm
7) svx

??? Eh, maybe.
So there was no stream, obviously. Not really that surprised or upset even. I think I understand why things are the way they are for the mb community at the moment and I would comment about it but people tend to write off what I say as "real talk that's out of line" so it's whatever.

Oh crap, my bad. Failed at reading comprehension on that one lol. 64 was just the cap for the game fffffff.

Aw yeah, Inso!  Congrats man!


...why didn't you tell me you were going :(

Alright, I'm almost 100% sure that I'm going!

I'll probably arrive between tuesday and thursday, so I'd like to invite whoever will be out there early as well to get in touch with me for the wonderful opportunity of playing yours truly =D

Besides Melty, I'm also up for P4, AH3 or UMVC3. If you don't mind me sucking at any of them, just hit me up.

Hoping Melty participants makes it to double digits :mystery:

Lol Pete log in every once in a while.

Also, congrats. I saw the list of entrants. There was 41 entrants. Really wish I could have made it to this one, but it was not to be.

The final count of entrants for Melty this year was 44. Top 8 replays + Sp00ky's sets with LK (ft5), Generic (ft3), and me (ft2) are on MadScientist's laptop. I have a little cam footage but it won't do you niggas any good. Just wait for the replays so you can see my drunk ass play Melty.

Hey Shinobi, you wouldn't happen to know how to screencap and display through Skype, would you? Would like to sneak in some commentary if possible, assuming you'll be 100% on streaming this later in the week.

It should be possible if you are the only person in the call. I'll test whenever I get my internet installed.

shout outs because i pretend this place still alive:

SilentShinobi: Thanks for running the tournament and keeping arimakun out of trouble. Really sucks that we couldn't do 3v3 or Red vs White. :I Hope we can play each other sober next time. ^^

Malik: We finally meet, and in bracket too. Good games and all that - showing me the justice that is Kouma. Also those 100pcs wings x white rice were too strong.

MadScientist: Good games and good shit on top 8. First time fighting a C-Sion and she is kinda scary (in a main protagonist sort of way). Hopefully I'll emerge the victor of the next tournament sets and FT20. :toot:

arimakun: You fucking fool, thinking you beast 'cause you outplaced your sensei? Know your place. <3

Also you suck at the Game of Death. Just not as bad as DC.

[svx]: We must research how to make Georgia not free vs Nero. Together. :3

Inso: Again, good games and glad I could help you understand how sad it feels to get mixed-up by Nanaya (you helped me feel the same way lol). Keep representing the apologies (warui ne)!

Sen: IDK if you use the boards, but if you do, good shit. I underestimated you and clearly paid the price. Hope to see you next year. fufufu~

LordKnight: Good shit stealing all the yens again. Maybe we'll actually get to play next time. lol

Myself: Good shit choking on your own EZ mode combos and losing games for it.

P4A: Good shit for including A button autocombo. I feel so sick nasty mashing that with Yukiko.

Yeah that was definitely one of the highlights of the weekend & good to meet you & see that the GA players are passionate about playing this game & sticking with it. This was my last tournament showing but know that you guys (MOST of the players) are like family to me & that even though we'll play different games, I'll try my best to chill with you all when I see ya, and on that note it's time to put Kouma to rest (for now).

...why didn't you tell me you were going :(

Thanks, Pete!I didn't contact you directly because I thought it wouldn't amount to anything, since I asked in this thread if you guys were coming and Tim said no. I assumed you knew about it. Would you have gone, just for me? =O

SHOUTOUTS!

- Larry, thanks for supporting Melty even when the scene looks bleak. Damn, your events are welcoming and well executed. If only we had that in Brazil.

- How come everytime you look at Bill he is smiling?

- MadScientist, you play waaaaay too smart. I'm actually mad about that, fuck you. I'd tell you to try using Hitbox too, but your keyboard is just so cool.

- LK and Generic, thanks for the insights and tips on how to improve my game, you guys are the best. Congrats to LK for taking three 1st places in FR, aside from being a talented voice actor.

- Viet, it's only when you get counterhit by divekick in the air that you realize how bullshit that move is, lol. Good shit dude, much respect to fellow Nanaya players... so long as they stay clear of my color (jk)

- Shinobi, thanks for running the brackets and sleeping through teams xD Man, you were frantic in there, I don't think you ever stayed in place for long.

- Voomer, your mirror matches with Generic were fucking hype to watch. Let's hang out again if we're fated, and good luck with Arcana meets KOF, lol

- ShinsoBEAM, too bad I could not find you sunday, wish we could've played some more.

@everyone plus Living Shadow, ComicZ, sushii, dollar, ZomB, guy from Waterloo whose name I so shamefully forgot right now but kicked my ass with F-Akiha and plays MorriDoomVergil.
It was great meeting/playing/hanging with you. I really feel those were good matches despite my bitchiness when I dropped stuff and I really, really hope we get to play again sometime.

Wish I could have played the rest of the atendants, but my Hitbox was geting fixed for the most time people were doing casuals. Hell, I even got to play Sp00ky on monday when we were both waiting at the hotel. Somehow, he still got his shit down.

It's funny how the game is supposed to be dead, and yet pretty much everyone I played kept telling me how they love it and wish they could play it more often. It's pretty sad too.

And sorry if I forgot to mention someone, I just got to my aunt's apartment in Sao Paulo and I'm still pretty sleepy from the whole trip.

This game isn't dead, it's sleeping. There's plenty of people who will play, you just need to provide setups and convince them to.

Melty isn't dead.
It's been in a Kouma!!

Sorry for the lame pun. D:

Shinobi, do you happen to have a bracket for the tournament, even if it's for just top 8?

I guess this was me, but I don't remember kicking any ass >_<. GGs it was fun and I hope we can play again. I promise to not drop as much stuff next time >_<.

Really late shoutouts to everyone I played! Mostly vs Voomer and Inso lol you guys were too gdlk. You guys gave me matchup experience I very desperately needed. Shoutouts to Shinobi too for bodying me in tournament and the casuals on Sunday in Voomer's room! So good. Waterloo will be back!
