Some of the Lab Zero Games staff (me and the lead/senior animators) will be holding a panel at MomoCon next month! Anyone already going to that?

Anyway, I was thinking of running a tournament for SG there, but it looks like there's already one planned: http://www.momocon.com/events/video-games/

In the interest of getting some genuine hype going, who in the Atlanta SG scene thinks they can stop me from winning this thing?

The tournament will begin around 1PM on Saturday.

Also, here's the schedule of panels we'll be attending, in case you want to catch up with us and say hello:

Friday 5/23 @ 8:30PM: Games as an Artform - Featuring the team from Skullgirls and Ke Jiang, art director for ThatGameCompany, and possibly a Riot Games animation director. This is an open panel discussion about art, and its influence on game design.

Saturday 5/24 @ 8:30PM: Skullgirls panel - Open discussion about Skullgirls with the team behind the game.

Sunday 5/25 @ 1PM: Game Kickstarting - How crowd funding helped grow projects like Shadowrun Returns, Golem Arcana, Ouya, Emotiv, and Skullgirls.

Atlanta? That's the closest anything ever is held to me... I might see about attending.
 
Sounds like I won't be winning, then. :[ Gotta up my game vs that one-man-band!!

I can't use my keyboard on the PS3 version, so I either gotta hope that someone there will let me borrow a hitbox (lol) or I'm stuck with a PS3 pad which I've used for Skullgirls for all of 5 minutes.

If you lose against me considering that, you got NO excuse

Winterwarz played MK9 on keyboard and that game didn't even have a PC version at the time he played, I feel like there's probably some way you could manage this, and you got a month to figure it out
 
I will be attending. Lez go
 
I'll try to make it this weekend. My friends and I are trying to determine if we should get a rental car or not.

Awesome! For those wondering, Mariel, Jon, and I will be at the con all weekend. Here's our schedule of panels:

Friday 5/23 @ 8:30PM: Games as an Artform - Featuring the team from Skullgirls and Ke Jiang, art director for ThatGameCompany, and possibly a Riot Games animation director. This is an open panel discussion about art, and its influence on game design.

Sunday 5/25 @ 1PM: Game Kickstarting - How crowd funding helped grow projects like Shadowrun Returns, Golem Arcana, Ouya, Emotiv, and Skullgirls.

There doesn't seem to be an event thread for MomoCon in general, despite there being an event made for it... So I'm posting this stuff here!
 
I'm there. I got a free 3-day ticket for getting second at a SG tournament. The tournament may have only had two entrants, but that's beside the point...

Same here.

Hopefully some of the guys I play with at my weekly will come.
I also hope my new pad and stick come in the mail. My 1st TvC stick is wearing down and I want to keep my second one near mint.

....and I need to Finish my stick art. It will be a busy week.

god, when you come to Argentina?. i wanna meet with all of us but i from of this place and i dont have money to travel to Atlanta. god damn it. one of my dreams is know the creator of cerebellas and give my respect for make a god like character
 
I dont suppose anyone knows if Momocon will have stick modders this year. My adapter doesnt work with my wii u TE stick for some reason. I looked it up and found nothing but "it works" until I actually got it and later found exactly two people- out of who know how many- saying it didnt work -_-.
 
I dont suppose anyone wants to have some matches on Friday (Today)...

I would, but I'm getting ready to head out there tomorrow.
 
Covenant! I'd be down! Come by the Games as an Artform panel and meet up with us. After that's over we can play some :D

EDIT: aaaand now I have to go to another con thing. Bummer. Go to the games room tomorrow @ 1p!

I'll head to the game room after I browse a bit for some merchandise. What are you guys wearing? That way I can identify you when I get there.

It's not tomorrow yet, so I don't know :P

Probably a Parasoul shirt?

Very well. At least that's a start.
 
Dont start without me plz. Im leaving now it will be very close to one but i will make it
 
-_-
My fam was supposed to leave 50 min ago...
I don't suppose anyone minds saving me a spot? I may be there 10min after 12. Fortunately I know the To so he may help me out.
 
I'm gonna see if I can push the start of the tourney back a little bit. They've allotted 5 hours for us to finish but I don't think it'll take that long.
 
Im here. 4235999632 someone call me and tell me where to go
 
Kk . There gonna be a stream? Holy fuck this line is so long its gonna take forever
 
Had a great time and awesome gettin to play with alot of cool guys and honored meeting ya render fun matches and excellent job you guys do on the game. Im a proud supported and will continue to do so untill sg is finally recognized as it shpuld the best fighter out
 
Didn't make it in time to play in the tournament, but I enjoyed watching some of it and getting some freeplay matches in. I have much to improve on. JSmooth whooped me good. We only had one close match...... I need to practice my parries.

I also enjoyed the Skullgirls Panel. There were a lot of interesting tidbits.
 
Well, I got back from the convention just now and I must admit it was well worth it on the presentation aspect. I got to try out Eliza a bit and learned some interesting tidbits about her character and how she plays. I also got to chat with Mariel a bit about my favorite character storyline and chatted with Render a bit. I wanted to take a pic with him, but he was too busy with the stream earlier. I went to the panel, but sadly had to leave after the Eliza demonstration. Hopefully you guys will come back next year cause it was a blast.
 
Thanks all of you guys for coming out! It was really great meeting you all :D
 
Wait, Eliza was playable?!?! Sunnova rabid egyptian god....

Just the development build. A lot of her stuff wasn't hit confirmed since it wasn't finished.
 
As soon as there's video of it online, I will. I'm anxious to watch it myself. Mike tells me the UFGT guys will probably have a youtube version of it up soon. Keep an eye out on the @Skullgirls twitter. ;)
