Slammin Saturday Nights Begin Feb 10th at web2zone

Let's start 2007 off RIGHT with some good news!

The place: web2zone (Internet Cafe & Video Game Center)
54 Cooper Sq (Cafe Area)
New York , NY 10003
212-614-7300

The date: February 10th, 2007

The time: 4pm-12 midnight

The cost: $10

The deal:

The state of fighting games in the tri-state area is becoming grim. First, the GDT ranbats in New Jersey came to a screeching halt when the owner decided to close his lan center. Then, we heard confirmed facts that Chinatown Fair will not last another 5-6 months. TGA is great, but it's WAAAY out in Massachusetts. What are gamers to do when they have a fixing for a fight, but have nowhere to go?

Web2Zone has decided to start holding "Fighting Game Saturdays" events starting on February 10th. For the cost of $10, you can stay all day from 4pm-12midnight. Web2Zone currently has 7-8 TVs and is in the middle of NYC, where you can pretty much do anything you can think of within a few blocks walking distance. Currently web2zone plans to have good comp in the following games:

Street Fighter 3: Third Strike*
Tekken 5*
Guilty Gear XX Slash
Virtua Fighter (any if all the latest versions)
Melty Blood: AC
King of Fighters (all of them if possible)
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Capcom vs SNK 2*
Super Street Fighter II Turbo (fresh from CCC2 collection)

Web2zone currently has the ones with *'s next to them, but plans on holding other games as well. Bring whatever you want to play and it's all good. Web2Zone currently has 3 PS2s and I will be bringing another 3 (the famed ECCX PS2s that got me fired from my job) so we will be all set.

Also, I will hook up MvC2 to the widescreen LCD with a VGA adapter so we can play in high-definition. NYC gamers, I KNOW you love this game (and Matrix/Yipes are still rubbing their wounds from the last time I beat them down at CTF a few weeks ago) so expect to get some comp and some scrapings when you come by.

As things develop, I will update this thread with grudge matches, money match challenges, and people locked to attend. So stay tuned for updates. What I can say right now is, I'm taking OPEN CHALLENGES in ST, CvS2, MvC2 and 3s, so if you want some, COME GET SOME!


ADDED BONUS: If enough players show, and there is interest, we will throw some free mini-tournaments. In the future, web2zone WILL begin to start throwing official Ranbats with tournament rankings and such. Look for one of these by the end of February.

 

Hi Alexstrife. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

I didn't make it official on the SRK thread but I will be attending this event. I can't say if anyone else from the NYCVF crew will show, I highly doubt it. VF5 import will be available to us by Saturday and I'm sure we will spend all of the weekend playing it.

The only way you would see the VF players is if you can guarantee a dedicated set just for VF.

That was partly the reason guys stopped showing up to W2Z on Fridays and then W2Z nailed the coffin when the cabinets were moved out.

As for future events please do keep us posted.


P.S. Poor copy and paste job there, you didn't edit Phil's post from SRK at all. heh heh

 

Well if you wanted a TV all you had to do was ask. Due to the fact that the game is an import AND on the ps3 I can put it on the plasma screen we have hidden in the back ( aka the tv u NEVER SEE ITS 60')...hows that? Call me if you want more.

You know more then I do how sad I was seeing you guys go...and know I will do what I have to for you guys to have a good return back

 

If you can set that up that would be great. I will let everyone know.

Now, I have to check if anyone will have the game by then. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

let me know by Thursday so I can get that setup cause its heavy as hell lol

 

Will you be having this event every Saturday? I might make it down next week if there is going to be a VF5 group, I can bring VF5 with me, do you guys have PS3s there?

 

if this goes well it will be once a month. We do not have a ps3 as of yet but I already let shag know if they bring one whoever it is will get in free.
