I rather throw 30 SC4 tournaments with 8 people showing up than 1 20 man SF4 tournament that has no hardware...
If it was up to me alone, I'm not sure SF anything would be guaranteed Smiley Lucky for the SF community, it's not up to me alone lol. Also, I wonder if SSF is why the community seems to have kinda gone into recession, maybe just waiting?
Blazblue!!!
Blazblue = Dumb. Go TEKKEN!
OH - Running out on my photos AND giving attitude?! If you hadn't brought hardware, we'd be squabin' right now lol.
It's in my tournament box, I should have it for you next event - lucky I did save it, running out on my photos!
Wichita's first big tournament for the new year now has a date!
Following last year's popular team tournament, War Games is continuing the trend with a new two man team tournament for Street Fighter IV and a three man team tournament for Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion.
There are still singles tournaments for the team-based games and a variety of other games, including Street Fighter II: HD Remix, BlazBlue, and Melty Blood: Actress Again. Participants are welcome to bring their own games and set up stations as well.
I spoke to the event coordinator, Petro Irving, about the tournament and what his plans are. He told me in a phone interview that he organizes these tournaments every four months, "hoping that they catch on and put Kansas as a fighting force in the midwest." He also spoke of raising awareness for gamers and non-gamers alike, providing "something even the casual gamer would like."
This is his fourth tournament in two years.
Petro Irving also mentioned that he hopes someday to host the tournament at the Intrust Bank Arena in downtown Wichita. He's heard of the large tournaments in the western part of the U.S. and wants to draw in crowds as large as the ones at Evolution and in California. His goal is 2,000 attendees.
"Last time we had people from Kansas City and Oklahoma. It was cool that a girl came all the way down from Manhattan, too. This time I want to see people from Missouri and hopefully Nebraska comes too."
