[Kiyobi]

I can bring PC Skullgirls...? :P

 

[Shin ATproof]

That'd be cool but there's a very limited space at the venue for a PC setup. Much appreciated though!

 

[Kiyobi]

Haha, it's all I can offer because I don't own PS3 SG...

 

[Weatherbee]

Yeeeeeeaaaah we in there! Come on out folks, even if you have to miss a salty that weekend. We'll always have Salty, but we won't always have Super Arcade. Show up and support both SG and Super!

 

[Vector]

Anyone from around San Diego goin? I'd love to make this.

 

[Verdant Brave]

Aw man, no way I can make it for the tournament (fuck being employed).

But casuals will give me an excuse to learn how to play the game. Ho long will that be going on?

 

[jetpackHughes]

Hell yeah! Skullgirls back in Walnut? That's luckily not that too far. I'll be there, and I may see about taking a friend or two along.

 

[Shin ATproof]

There are some players from San Diego area that attend Rebel Up. I'll get back to you later and maybe you can hitch a ride with them if you can't find someone on your own.

Yeah I imagine we'll still have space for casuals after the tournament. That'll run until the guys at Super Arcade kick us out which is usually like at 1am or so. Sorry you won't be able to make it for tourney but glad you'll be able to make it out for some games still!

 

[Vector]

Thanks Shin that'd be wicked.

 

[Verdant Brave]

Me going to this thing isn't a done deal. If I work that Sunday, I'll be staying home to get some extra Z's. Work is exhausting, so I need the energy.

 

[Weatherbee]

Also, from the sounds of it, since this is an alternating thing, we will not have Salty! the same week as Rebel Up. This will make it easier on peoples wallets, and keep us going strong in two venues! So no more worrying about not attending one thing to go the other thing.

 

[Shin ATproof]

As Weatherbee mentions and to reiterate, Skullgirls at Rebel Up will essentially be another Salty but at another venue every other week (in place of Salty) and in a tournament setting. All the stuff we have come to expect of Salty like the updates to the beta could be shown there too if there is time which should be doable since SG tournaments run fairly quick. Also, hey a regular local tournaments for SG for the community to enjoy! What a concept!

 

[Vadsamoht]

Actually, I'd keep the normal stuff like beta news Salty-only. This way it gives Mike the potential to take the night off if he wants, and will probably actually make Salty itself a little more anticipated, while Rebel Up can focus more on the competitive gameplay.

 

[Shin ATproof]

Well talking to Mike, this didn't seem to be a problem. Also, please, let's not clutter this thread up with this talk. You can PM me if you want to talk more about this.

MOD EDIT: @Shin ATproof I moved those other posts here. Sorry for the diversion.

 

[Rance]

so wait, is this gunna be beta or old version?

 

[Shin ATproof]

I think for right now we'll go with the retail version for tournaments. That's what we have provided at the venue and by players electing to bring their systems as back up just in case. Also I'd like it so players at Rebel Up interested in trying the game can play on the current available version for retail. HOWEVER, there should be a station for Beta too as there will be time for announcements for the updates to the game. So Big Band players shouldn't feel left out at Rebel Up.

 

[SHODAN]

So do we have to participate in the tournament (still pretty noobish at this game)? also, do you guys still need PS3's because im willing to bring mine.

 

[Kiyobi]

You don't have to, but entering SG is free (plus venue fee) so why not?

 

[SHODAN]

well, i need a ride, so i cant really get there. plus i dont know anybody in SFV except Midiman, but he gets picked up by shin ATproof. but i dont even know if midiman is going.

 

[Snackysnacks]

I heard once that there are adapters to hook up a xbox 360 controller to ps3, will those be at the event?

And does a pc setup really take up that much space? cant imagine anything more than an HDMI and a power cable being the only things you need. steam can be controlled with a controller.

I'm local to the area and at a 50% chance i could go (just saw this event today) but i would definitely attend future events at super arcade.

 

[Midiman]

I'm trying to get my ride arranged with WingZero. I should be able to appear with all my p's and q's in order!

 

[Vadsamoht]

I heard once that there are adapters to hook up a xbox 360 controller to ps3, will those be at the event?

IIRC these cause input lag, so I doubt they'd be used.

 

[Shin ATproof]

Like Kiyobi said, the Skullgirls tournament is free. You just pay the $5 venue fee to play all day. So you may as well enter the tournament while you're there! lol Also, please enter the tournament! Don't be shy! Don't worry about winning/losing, we all gotta start somewhere. If you wanna "git gud" then the best way is to get past your fears, compete, ask players questions for feedback and then practice and repeat it all over again until you GIT GUD! Oh yeah...and have fun!

As for spare systems, we should be good right now but should that change, I'll definitely let you know. Thanks for asking!

While it would be awesome if we could provide all the equipment for players to use, unfortunately you will be responsible for bringing your own controller (gamepad, joystick, hitbox, Rockband Guitar, etc) to play. None will be provided by either me or any of the organizers.

As for space for setting up a PC, Super Arcade right now has pretty limited space between all the monitor & console setups, the arcade cabinets and the corner used for the PovertStation. You can contact Numakie (listed in the OP) and ask if there is room for another computer but from what I seen, I have my doubts. Perhaps when Super Arcade reaches its Kickstater goal and gets renovated, that may change but for right now that's all we got to work with.

If you can't make it to this event this weekend (still hope you can! we'd love to have ya!) we'll definitely be here for the next Rebel Up and every two weeks after that is the plan. Lots of great games are played at Rebel Up and now, Skullgirls is one of them!

I've spoken with you about this privately but if you can Midiman can workout something as well, then great! I still technically have to leave the SFV to get to Super. I just have work from morning until Noon every Saturday but may be available to carpool if asked.

 

[DawnHibiki]

I'll definitely be there. It's going to be pretty fun! I'm going to bring my laptop over there.

 

[WanderingWlf]

I'm coming for sure. I'm also going to be there early just because of other games.

 

[Shin ATproof]

Can't wait for tomorrow! Hope to see most of you there!

 

[MasterE]

Now I can feel less guilty about going to one Salty a month :). I also have more incentive to make it out to walnut for super arcade. I won't make it out this weekend since I am busy but I will convince my carpool group to make it out soon.

 

[DawnHibiki]

Can't wait for tomorrow! Hope to see most of you there!

If I want to play the tournament, can I play Skullgirls on my laptop, or do I need to play on PS3? Like Kiyobi, I don't own PS3 Skullgirls.

Sounds good! We hope to see you April 5th then!

Unfortunately the tournament will be run on PS3 because of tournament setups, including the streamed station. Perhaps in casuals we may have room to hook up a laptop but I can't guarantee anything since there are a lot of games and attendees but limited space. There is planned to be at least two stations of the latest Beta build from Lab Zero to play in casuals (also played on PS3s). If we can get the room to add more setups like your laptop then absolutely feel free to hook up your laptop!

I'm curious, what controller do you use to play Skullgirls?

 

[DawnHibiki]

I'm curious, what controller do you use to play Skullgirls?

Sadly, I only use the keyboard. I play Skullgirls on PC all the time. I do have my Sega Saturn-esque USB controller though, but I'm not used to it yet. I have my USB keyboard if that can work on PS3.

 

[Sydoh]

You'd have to mod your keyboard to work as a PS3 controller on PS3.

Best alternative to keyboard is using hitbox if you don't want to mod a keyboard.

 

[Verstande]

This is like 30 minutes from me....so all I have to do is show up, pay the venue fee, and I can play Skullgirls?

 

[DawnHibiki]

I think I should buy Hitbox someday if I want to play Skullgirls on PS3. Otherwise, I would have to mod my keyboard to play Skullgirls on PS3 with that kind of controller. I guess I won't be participating the tournament unless I can play PS3 with a keyboard. I might play on casuals though.

 

[Snackysnacks]

So am i out of luck on playing on a 360 pad? I found about this really late so i dont know where i could get an adapter at all, in time.

 

[Wenzel]

Im playing SGE (PC) with a Arcade Stick PCB PS360+ works like a champ, highly recomended.

 

[Kongk4]

So how was the event?

 

[erkicman]

Based on what I saw and the commentators' opinions, very hype and positively received. Very likely to be welcomed back to Rebel Up and picked up by other players there.

 

[Kiyobi]

Yesterday was pretty nuts! I'm pretty optimistic that Skullgirls is going to stay at Rebel Up. I think one of the BBCP players wants to try getting into it too.

...as solo Squigly. RIP

 

[Weatherbee]

So how was the event?

32 Entrants, and a hell of a lot of fun. Once again, $5 venue fee, and practically all the tournies are free to enter. Great atmosphere, great games, casuals after! $5 for about 9 hours worth of gaming? It's a no brainer folks, if ya are in driving range of Super, get on out here next time!
