well there must be some reason for replacing the title and original post with '|'symbols


surely it is because this is going to be happening as advertised for 4 months

right

Anyone looking to attend this event should expect a world of disappointment. For those that might not know, Manny's last attempt at putting on a large-scale event was a complete disaster for everyone who was involved or attended. But don't take my word for it - just Google "Kunicon" and see what comes up.

Rumor has been circulating for more than a month about GAMME changing dates. Except back then it was a money issue, unrelated to MLG. Based upon the above posts, I'd said the MLG bit was just a cover up. Manny regularly talks about deals that are unconfirmed or haven't been signed, drops names of people and companies he's never met or worked with, and cancels things at the last minute. Hell, I don't think GPX is even a real company. I couldn't find it on sunbiz.org

Let's just take a look at why this is gonna fail:

1 - Web Site - Manny's been pimping this event for more than 6 months on this board and he can't even get a **** website together. For an event as big as this is supposed to be where's all the information? Yeah, tourney info is available here, but what about everything else? If you didn't find out about it via Shoryuken or Smash Boards, you won't know it exists. Google turns up nothing but a half-finished website. Although he had no problem setting up an Eventbrite page to take your money...

2 - Tournament Payouts - The first thing that was ever announced about this event was the big GUARANTEED tourney pots. At current count - $27,000, and that's without a player putting in a dime. Where is all this money coming from? No sponsors have been mentioned, and I doubt Manny is putting up the money himself. This is the man who notoriously gave out grape soda as a prize at Florida Supercon. It's been a running joke ever since.

3 - Other promises - Japanese players? Who's flying them in? That's another $10,000+ in expenses. 150,000 person capacity concert venue for Basshunter? Gig's not listed on his website... or anywhere else on the internet. 100 hours of panels, 18 cosplay events, manga library & jpop lounge, maid cafe, 150+ game systems... that requires a LOT of staff. Video Games Live? It's not on their website.

Let's face it - for a first time event it sounds way too good to be true... Manny knows how to deliver the hype, but that's ALL he knows how to deliver. I'm not saying that everything he claims to have is a lie. All I'm saying is that he has a long history of making promises he can't keep. So do your research before you shell out several hundred bucks for a flight to Orlando.

Everything is all rumor at this point but the signs haven't been very promising for awhile now.

There was a reason this event was not stuck, and it wasn't too do with MLG being the same weekend.

---

As a word of advice though: don't salivate over every tournament that posts up a big prize pot and promises big things. SNES, Winterfest, and this ALL had the same signs.

Essentially learn to read critically. Ask questions like
-Have they run events before in our community
-Can the person holding this tournament be held accountable
-Where will this money be coming from
-Does it seem legit and does the organization seem professional
