Lake Erie Summer Slam - Cleveland, OH, 6/26/10 - Brawl+SSFIV+T6+HDR+MvC2

Why: The release of Super SFIV gives us the perfect time to host Cleveland's first event-oriented tournament in five long years. We hope to see all the familiar traveling faces, plus give many Cleveland players their first chance to experience the drama and saltiness of tournament play.

We're bringing back the arcade glory days as well with arcade-cabinet events, all in a unique, class, spacious venue, and run by a Cleveland staff with years of experience as both players and major-tournament organizers. Special events are in store as well -- more on this later.

Where: Fox & Hound Sports Restaurant (8735 Day Drive - Parma, OH 44129, 440-842-8840).

Tournament pot split is 70/20/10, excepting Smash (TBD by Smash director) and NBA Jam/WWF (80/20 splits). Double elimination. This is BYOC, but if you really need someone's stick you can probably find someone willing to loan you one. I will have a sanwa-powered Agetec for use in Marvel for those of you only with next-gen sticks.

Side events to be run in BYOConsole area as time/demand allows. The interested players will run them, not tourney staff.
Guilty Gear: AC+

Rules:
SSFIV - default everything
Tekken 6 - no bans. 60 seconds, 3/5 rounds, random stage
SF2:HDR -- Akuma banned
MvC2 - no game-breaking glitches. Juggs glitch allowed. Winner keeps same order but can switch-glitch
Brawl - see second post
NBA Jam - Two quarters of play (roughly 5-minute games). Only codes allowed are shot display %, Big Head mode. Accidental input of an illegal code results in game restart and a warning, twice = DQ. Because secret characters do not have altered stats despite what GameFAQs says, they are legal (e.g. Mark Turmell, Carlton, etc.). Auto-assist ON. No Secret Tank Game play during tournament
UMK3 - default everything, no codes that affect gameplay ("No Blocking", "Unlimited Run", etc., but "Throwing Encouraged" would be OK)
Wrestlefest - game defaults, no bans

This is a big place for a regional event, and our area is not physically closed off or constricting players to a small area. Large, free parking lot. Also features billiards, big-screen TVs and darts, and a great house draft beer called Amber Fox.

We might have a Japanese-style candy cab there as well with genuine Capcom CPS2 fighters -- no MAME. Nothing matches the intensity of battling shoulder-to-shoulder with an opponent, no matter if it's dollars or pride on the line.

Staff Roll:
Chris "Ghaleon" and Harmon "nomrah" -- co-directors
John "Nash/sflegend" -- Tekken director and support
King~ -- Smash director

Special thanks to Eric "chunblue" who if possible is providing Japanese candy cab for Capcom fighters; to Tim Static for bringing his UMK3 from Columbus; and to all locals and travelers who will be able to provide TVs and hardware; AND YOU

We're really excited to be running this in Cleveland this summer. Please PM me or Harmon if you have any questions, or get at me on Facebook preferably (Chris Ghaleon). More as our events develop. Please let me know what side games you'd like to see as well help us support the smaller games. Thanks everyone for considering making the trip, it should be a great time!

If we can get a decent prize for both Wrestlefest/NBA Jam, I might just make them free to promote people playing them and give the people just coming to pay for an SSFIV tourney something else to do.

Brawl Rules and Format:

* 3 Stock Double Elimination

* 8 minute timer

* Items are set to "off" and "none"

* Bring your own controller

* All matches prior to Winners' and Losers' Finals are best of 3. Winners', Losers', and Grand Finals are best of 5

*Planking is banned (up for debate, either this or LGL)(Note: i wont be debating as i dont care, but im sure some peole will agree with this and some wont let the points fly!)

* The Stage Strike system will be used and explained for the first match of all sets, then after procedure is loser stage pick, winner character choice, loser character choice.

* In the event of a dispute, controller ports will be selected by Rock-Paper-Scissors

* Dave's Stupid Rule: No player may choose a stage they have already won on in that set unless agreed upon by both players.

* In team matches, the ports will be determined in a 1221 fashion; whoever wins the RPS will choose first, then the opposing team will get their ports, and then the teammate of the RPS winner will get the last port.

* If the timer runs out, the victor is determined first by stock and then by percentage.

* Metaknight's Infinite Cape glitch is banned.

* Port slob picks: On a player's counterpick, that player may opt to redo the port selection process with that player or team picking their port first.

* Wiimotes and Classic Controller users should know to take the batteries out of their controllers after finishing a set; not only will this save battery life, but it prevents accidental intereference and delay for tournament matches.

* The Mages DQ rule: After a match has been called, if a player is two minutes late he will receive a warning. At 4 minutes late, he will be given a loss for the first game of the set. After six minutes, he will be given a loss of the entire set.

* If a game ends with Bowser doing his suicide klaw and it ends in sudden death, the sudden death will be ignored and that game will count as a win for Bowser.

* Any action that can prevent the game from continuing (i.e., freezing, disappearing characters, game reset, etc.) will result in a forfeit of that match for the player that initiated the action.

* Stalling is banned. This includes ledge stalling, which is running away after gaining a lead in percent/stock and abusing the ledge's invincibilty.

* Nope's No BS Rule: By participating in this tournament you give the Tournament Operator and their affiliates the right to film, photograph and record your name, nickname, pseudonym, persona, picture, biographical material, voice and/or likeness and to use the same in any manner or media in connection with the Event to broadcast, reproduce, distribute and exhibit such photographs and/or recordings, in any manner whatsoever, by any and all means, media, devices, processes and technology now or hereafter known or devised anywhere in the universe at anytime in perpetuity.

I'll be there.

Sounds like epic fun! I want to go, but im doubtful at the moment because i'll just be coming back from Pittsburgh. I really really really do want to go though. We need more Cleveland tournaments :<

Also we will be in need of full setupsim gonan add a setup list to the second post, i know some of you guys can bring tvs and that would be really helpful to running/finishing this

If I have money/Keist or someone can take me, I'll be here with a full setup.

@Juu: Once you are back from OU at Columbus and going to Weds events, we'll talk about tourne travelings.

I'll be able to bring a Wii/PS3, but not a TV.

I'll tell you when this gets closer, but I think I should be able to get this off work, although considering how many days I'm taking off for The Showdown, they may not let me.

NBA Jam!!!! wooo

Kind of awesome that I dont have to travel to far so far this summer

IF ANYONE FROM WI/IL plans on going to this I definitely wanna tag along. :D

Chances of me coming to this are increasing.

O___O

WINGS?!! I wanna go! Also if Sai goes to this, you will have to sit down and explain the eating in moderation rule. xD

I am now pretty much guaranteed to show unless I go broke sometime before then.

After actually reading the post...

BUT you have some tekken 6 rules listed as well.

@Shugo: Now that it's summer, I will be traveling from Sandusky to Cleveland tournaments. If you need a ride, let me know!

my bad Keist either i copied wrong(facepalm) or it wasnt there before

ill go with the latter, its 5$

Crap, can't come anymore since an old friend I haven't seen in forever told me his graduation party is on this day. I'm going to feel awkward all day since I won't know anyone else there, but I kind of have to go and arg!

No you Didnt Copy Wrong its a Game is 5 to play..But since ive been out of the Smash Scene and Couldnt go to Columbus imma Just stick With Street Fighter

Probably can make this.

Hype for this~ we need more in NEOH
Any other websites we can broadcast this on to hype more?

Let me know when Smash starts if possible. I'll try and see if I can't at least enter then duck out early for the grad party. I don't expect to win anyway.

Might try to make it to this. We'll see how it all goes though, financially. Might have to sell a few things to go.


Get hype for SSF4.

Is there any word on what time the Brawl tourney will be beginning? I'm getting a ride from a friend of mine and she'd like to know when I need to be there.

venue opens at 11:00, stating the tourney around 1-1:30

also you can pre reg, ill be adding this tid bit to the first post shortly:

If you pre-pay by Sunday, June 20, 11:59 p.m.
A: Your venue is $8.
B: Your trip to the appetizer table is GUARANTEED no matter when you get to the tournament.

Also please don't get confused -- this is not all-you-can-eat. We are paying per person so in effect everyone should be getting the same $10 worth of food.

EDIT: also, I NEED TVS AND WIIS FOR THIS

tournaments dont run off magic, there arent TVs built into our eyes, i dont have some secreat vault of TVS, and just because we have all day dosent mean i want it to take all day. help a *** out

Hmmm...yeah...probs won't make signups for this.
Might come to spectate and hang out if i have time.

Hey, if anyone wants, you can drive down here and borrow some of my TVs. Probably won't be able to make it to the tourny though due to the grad party

I'll definitely be coming to this, and I can bring a Wii and possibly a television, I just have to check with my ride about the latter to make sure there's space

While this venue is only (roughly) 30 minutes away, I am unsure of whether I can attend. To be honest, it really boils down to two things:

1) If SciFiGuy can go, mainly because if I do go without him I probably wouldn't enter anything and just chill and because he's the person I'd be getting a ride from (if he would want to go and if he could).

2) Whether or not I could have Brawl Minus set up. I realize that it would be pretty difficult to do this only because at the moment nobody has any idea how many Wiis there will be there. And if there's a low amount, my Wii would likely be used for the tourney anyway thus leaving me with nothing to do but talk with people for most of the day.

#2 then just makes me feel like "why should I go if I'm not even gonna enter singles? If SFG can't go I won't be entering doubles so that's out too and if my Wii would be used then I couldn't even play Brawl Minus friendlies..." but like I said, I don't even know if anything is going on that day in the first place and perhaps I'm over thinking things too much (I tend to do that).

There's a good chance I'll be going to this.

^tight

@falco: yea i agree it isnt very beneficial for you to come if you dont plan on entering singles.

tell your fellow NEOHns to step it up and bring more tvs

I can bring a setup if you need it.

now that KM4 is cancelled I wonder if anybody from Cincy is coming here

When is the schedule for this going to be up?
and do you HAVE to preregister to enter?

Canton!!!!
