Marvel vs Capcom 2 BeginsIf you can't tell the difference between this one and the old one, don't try to lose sleep over it. Also the reason why I have a 4-hour sign-up period is because I don't want to rush the out-of-town guys that are REALLY coming out from somewhere far for this. Really, it's not that nice to ask for someone to be at the arcade around 2pm(or anything less than that), because for some it takes 2+ hours to get down here(Fucking Kayin is coming from the other side of the world to get down here).
If you didn't know already, pretty much last time Eric took the tournament from me and ran it the way HE wanted to, which I really didn't like. This time around I'm making sure that I'm doing everything myself, and that I have all the tools needed to get the tournament started when I show up. I'm going to have the laptop with the tourney software, and right now I'm asking that people let me know which games they plan on entering, so I'll just be able to check your name off upon paying your entrance fee. I'll probably be running all of the tournaments, so that everyone can chill out and play their games. It'll be really easy to find everyone for each game, because all the games are now moved into one general area, instead of spread far apart. Please understand that I didn't want to run the last tournament that way, but Eric forced me to. Not to say he wasn't helpful, but when you have two people who can make brackets by hand(Zaelar/LK), why would you run home for 1 1/2 hours and leave everyone hanging?
Also, I have that time schedule so people can fill their stomachs at a restaurant of choice before playing some muuutherrrr fuuuuckkingggg gaaeeemzzzzzz, man I'm so hype now
For anyone who doesn't browse SRK, the ST guys are getting a 5v5 going, PA vs. NY+Alpha. I'd like to see something like this in MBAC, if not for money then just for fun!
