#6

Man, Good job Lay for making these ranbats exciting, I like the date on this one, i might me able to attend for once. Still got a exams that 8th though, damn, i hope i can still make it.

Peace
Third Strike Yall’

#7

no shit…i thought i was gonna be may 1st. ill still be able to make it to this one, but i do have finals on the 8th.

#8

may 1st is a monday, with two 3S setups I doubt it will take over 2-3 hours to finish all the events. It should be a good break in between finals.

#9

Should be a blast. The past few were fun. Dallas and Austin sux. =X oOo hate h8HaTe H8 HATE

#10

Just a little confused by this a little. Can I still play with Ryu even if my opponent chooses ryu or do I have to automatically choose Dudley?

#11

Ryu vs Dudley tournament = One side is always Ryu, other is always Dudley, play until all the people from one side have been defeated.

#12

Third strike on 2 versus cabinets under the same roof? We must be in Japan
This is gonna be madniss!

#13

and NO ranbat this coming sunday, right? just wanted to make sure.
I’ll def. be there for this one

#14

Gotcha. Thanks

#15

Are there prizes for these 2 events?

#16

There will only be prizes and points for the first two events, Event #3 and #4 are for smack talk rights until the next houston regional.

#17

bump

#18

SFC is coming to own.
that is all.

#19

Do the tournies usually start 2pm on the dot? Or do they start a little later? I forgot I had prior engagements Sun. morning and I won’t be able to leave town(SA) untill about 12:30pm. Meaning I won’t get to Houston untill 3-4. I don’t expect to hold it off that long, but is it possible to maybe start just a tad bit later and run the dud vs ryu event 1st to give me more time to get there? If not it’s cool, just wondering.

#20

okay, so for the austin v houston v dallas thing,
are multiple teams allowed? we’re thinking that we might be able to send two teams of ownage, but if only one austin team is allowed, then we need to know cause some noobs don’t want to come unless they know they’ll be playing on a team.

holla!
