    The Time is Near:
    New York City. The landmarks, the lights, the pizza, the guard break of doom. Now, you can be there, celebrating your love of Virtua Fighter! NYG9 is coming August 15 - 17.

    The Gathering:

    NYG9 will be a three day long gathering of Virtua Fighter players from all over the world. Last year's NYG was even bigger than expected, so this year we are pulling out all the stops to make sure this event is as enjoyable as possible. With different events each day, and blocks of time scheduled for offline casuals, this will be three full days of VF.

    The Schedule:
    Remember that NYG stands for New York Gathering. Our first priority is to provide a large space where players can gather and enjoy Virtua Fighter offline, as it was meant to be played. That being said, NYG will also feature multiple tournaments and other events which will be streamed. Stay tuned for more announcements.

    Venue Fee is $10 per day.

    Streaming will start at 3:00 P.M.
    We will be at the arcade from opening at 12:00, so we will take registrations and make brackets from there.
    Tournaments are expected to end before closing, but time has been allotted in case they run long. If the tournaments end at the expected times there will be a few hours for FT10s, grudge matches, exhibitions, and other hype stuff on the stream. We are going to make this as entertaining as possible so start thinking of who you'd like to challenge in the remaining time before NYG!

    Friday, August 15: General Gathering. Friendly casuals, Virtua Fighter 4 Final Tuned Tournament.
    Saturday, August 16: Team Tournament Starts at 3:00
    Sunday, August 17: Singles Tournament Starts at 6:00

    The Venue:
    NYC's Next Level Arcade will be hosting this event. Last year's event was so big that we took up nearly all the setups and made Marvel players cry! Let's not even let them get in the door this year!

      Holy shit it's 180 a night at kings hotel any place cheaper

      we working on making things cheaper. However, I'd recommend sharing a room with people. 4 folks splitting 180 is a lot easier to deal with.

      I am actually getting some logistics in order now. I am requesting that anyone coming down shoot me a message so I can compose a list. If you want to get matched up with people who are also willing to split a room, let me know in the message and I will try matching people. This way we know some numbers so we can try getting group rates, and you guys can get matched up without spamming the forums looking for roommates.

      I suck but I am still going, haha! Watch our stream for proof. If you like VF and want to hang with like-minded people then come down anyway. Tournaments aren't the main feature of this gathering, so even if you get eliminated right away you will have tons of casuals to play. I had a great time last year and got blown up within moments of the tournament starting. This would be a great way for a lot of the guys with no local scene to get real offline VF in. Trust me, there is a huge difference that you will appreciate!

      Never been to New York this would be perfect excuse. Even though I'm average VF player at best I still love going to the tourneys and gatherings in SoCal.

      That being said, might consider going if I have a place to stay at or get a group from SoCal/Arizona going (preferably with people I know) to make it worth it. Could even stay an extra day or two to explore the city if local players are cool enough to show us around. Let us know.

      Pinetree make it!!! I miss you dude. Shoot harpooner a msg about the rooms, we trying to see how low we can get our group rates, but a rough headcount helps.

      Tricky what's up dude! Miss playing against your Eileen. Yeah put me down, but August is still months away so planning can change as it gets closer (you never know if something comes up).

      I'd like to stay with someone to save some coin, booking a room with enough people if the price is right can work too. Either way I'd like to stay some extra time before or after the tourney to check out NYC, you down to show me around?

      I would to take part in the deal as well. My finances as of now aren't working out as well as I hoped early on. I will have to stay with someone whether it be on their couch or if I share a room with someone. It will make the trip considerably easier for me overall.

      I'm hoping I can make it, definitely interested in knowing prices for rooms etc (coming from Toronto).

      The last day is Sunday, August 17. I took an hour off of the event time so as not to confuse anyone.

      If I may make a suggestion, I think the singles tournament should be on Saturday. I imagine not everyone will be able to stick around all day Sunday.

      We did that swap last year too Rare. This year we are trying to avoid that but if enough people end up having to head out early Sunday we might consider a change. Thanks for the suggestion.

      yo @Harpooneer put me on the room search list if your still doing it. I might need to just crash on someones couch if they would have me

      I'm ok with singles tournament being on Saturday so long as it doesn't run past 7pm since I have to head out to Madison Square Garden around then. But I'm definitely down for it being on Sunday as I'll most likely be at NL all day til the doors close.
