======3RD STRIKE, ULTIMATE MK3, AND MORTAL KOMBAT 2 HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO PC VERSIONS, NO LONGER CONSOLE!!! PELICAN CONVERTERS WILL BE SUPPLIED FOR STICKS AND CONTROLLERS!!!=====

Hey guys, I'm pretty much coming out of left field with this one, but NEC has put me back in the mood of tournaments. Seeing as how Street Fighter IV and Tekken 6 have reignited the arcade scene (somewhat), I feel that New Yorkers (and the usual out of state crews) should get together one more time at Castle Golf for a tournament before NEC in Decemeber.

Castle Golf
1878 Middle Country Rd
Centereach, NY 11720

(631) 471-1267

I have recently purchased another splitter, this one can split HD signals (while still keeping full quality). Because of this, if someone can provide 2 HD TVs (I know that someone brought them for Smash CFN8), I'll gladly split the signal and have a 2 TV setup for that. If not, we can use it for 3S or whatever gets the most entrants like usual.

Venue fee will be $10 and tournament fees will be $5. If equipment is brought, $5 will be taken off of venue fee. You can no longer enter tournaments for free. I had complaints about pots becoming too small because too many people entered for free.

Rules are subject to change, so PLEASE KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS PAGE FOR UPDATES!!!

The games being played in tournament will be as follows:

  • Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike (PC (nFBA Emulator)
  • Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (MAME)
  • Guilty Gear XX Accent Core (PS2)
  • Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Nintendo Wii)
  • Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Alpha Anthology PS2)
  • Super Street Fighter II: Turbo (Dreamcast)

The following games will be held as side tournaments

  • Mortal Kombat 2 (MAME)
  • Melty Blood (PC)


Registration for the first 3 games will start at 12 NOON and the tournaments will begin shortly after 1pm.

Whichever tournament gets more registrants will have 2 setups to ensure that everything runs quickly. Once these tournaments are done, I will begin registration for the other tournaments for 1 hour. Tournaments will begin shortly thereafter. Since only 3 tournaments will be run, I can record one game's Top 8 and burn it onto a DVD for whoever wants to make copies of it. You guys can even use my commentary setup if you wish, have a blast.

Since Castle Golf will be open for business, we will be restricted to the one party area and the outside area. The outside area, weather permitting, will be used for casuals. No tournaments will be run outside due to the possibility of glare. Because of the one room restriction, only 3 or 4 tournaments will be run at a time. Venue registration will be taken at the same time as tournament registration at the front counter by me. Mark is no longer involved with Castle Fight Night anymore. I will personally take registration money for both venue and tournament, compile a list of players in all games, and give the lists to the tournament runners so they can make the brackets.

uh, for sc4, have a ps3 and xbox 360 division so you don't have to ban characters and you get more money for tournaments for it

for smash bros use sbr reccomemnded cps

also, make it earlier, i don't wanna wait that long, make it like in two weeks, and if you need an online bracket organizer i can get it for you

I can't make the tournament earlier since I already scheduled a date with Lance that works for a lot of people.

I have brackets that I've been using for a long time now, but thanks. I actually use my laptop and I bring a printer so everything can be fixed whenever it needs to be fixed.

Yeah and this time we'll definitely have the means to run the tournament through Tio, the computer program that self generates brackets, so it will easily be a lot smoother in transition than ever possible before. Get at this tourney everyone!

Hey guys, sorry I haven't been around updating this thread, but we had to reschedule the tournament due to an overbooking at Castle Golf for November 1st. The new tournament date is November 15th, two weeks after the original date. I'm truly sorry for this inconvenience, I'm just as pissed as you guys probably are, believe me.

I also updated the rules for Smash as per doommachine15, so be sure to check those out for more information. I also removed Soulcalibur 4 and Marvel vs Capcom 2 from the list since no interest was shown in either of those games.

its great to start seeing Metaknight being banned. although i do aproove of standing chain grabs being banned, but why walking chain grabs. This just about kills Dedede's game.
