So it's from the 28th (thur) to 30th (sat) this week?
I'll only be able to come on sat, hope i'll still be able to play.
Are there any requirements for entry? and what time of the day does it start and end?

Thanks for any help, hope to see your guys soon.

Pretty easy get the district line the green one to earls court and get off at the southern most exit and you should see a massive crowd outside the venue should take bout 2 mins form getting off the train.

But hell yea im definly going down with my cousin optimus and a few m8s (i hope Geese will also be able to turn up also) and i guess im only going down for VF4 evo, i really didnt want to go at first but what a fluke to get somone to get tickets for me /versus/images/graemlins/cool.gif.

If they even try to play it in 50hz i stomp my foot around and tell them /versus/images/graemlins/mad.gif

no, THIS is: /versus/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

the tourney is with pads, 50Hz, and you get randomly picked form crowd...

me? going? hell no... i already spoke to ryan at ECTS yesterday and reminded him it was on, heh, looks like he managed to get time off working there and kick ass.. met up with mark - columbo_jacky, Dai, and some others so it looks like they are all down there, i wonder if they got chosen. all in all, i would have loved to get the prizes, but HOW THE HELL DO THEY EXPECT YOU TO DO THAT!? - (besides, the competition is too tough even for a pad /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif)

laterz..

P.S - maro kart double dash roxxored..

P.P.S - seeing hideo kojima roxxored even more/versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif

EDIT: hey optimus, mind getting me some freebies while ur there too? i.e just grab double of everything you purchase.. /versus/images/graemlins/tongue.gif i'd love to get my hands on some of those t-shirts also!

what is the point? Man, everytime there's something "sega sponsored" outside of japan it is almost guaranteed to be retarded. This is worse than the "send in your box tops for a chance to mash a pad in front of Yu Suzuki" contest that Shadowdean won.

Haha the arcade machine is up for grabs tonight and guess who's in the finals, LOL...

Ryah Hart Vs James Brown (JB)

I was there when the trny was up and running and I was standing in front with Steven Tu. When they were choosing who to pick from the audience JB showed the box case of EVO to them and they picked him out the crowd, Punk, lol. I knew I shoulda waved my namco stick around in the air, lol.

Anyway, it was a 2v2 match with 4 ppl. Jb beat this intimidating Lei Fei who at 1st glance looks like he was gonnah beat JB but he got bruk in the end. Watching a TFT combo in 50hzt is so funny! JB did: TFT, knee, punch, punch and missed the dragon punch cos of the timing, was funny. Then came round 2 and JB went up against some scrubby Akira player who tryed to cheap his win by low punching alot. JB kept countering it with Elbow into punch into a throw. He was a free ticket for tonight, the 10th anniversary game (PUNK) and a blue EVO hori Stick and that funky t-shirt which had combos written over it. No doubt Ryan will win the machine but then again I haven't seen Ryan play on a pad before, lol.

Also like to thank Steve for letting me into ECTS. There I also met Ryan Heart in the Sammy booth. Played Mario Kart and beat Steve, hehehe. Games ruff. I like baby mario and the evil luigi. I kinda miss the lil hopping but then the power slide button is there now. Anyway, thats all for now.

smell y'all later

 

Sorry's man I didn't get no frebbies (was thinking of bribing the annoucers for a stick /versus/images/graemlins/smirk.gif), they picked a couple of kids from the audience so no luck /versus/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, the whole event was just an embarrasement for serious VF playing, [ QUOTE ]

[/ QUOTE ] they changed it to 60hz but it was 2 rounds on 30 secs with default pad buttons /versus/images/graemlins/frown.gif
not really a tourni just a big promotion event and a shit one at that, the only good points was playing the new turtles and castlevania game /versus/images/graemlins/grin.gif, didn't get round to playing mario kart though.
