I'm doing the brackets. Guess I should talk to Big E about that at some point.
 
Yeah Peanuts is doing brackets. I'd ask for commentary if I wasn't in three other tournaments that day (and if no one better was going) but I'm gonna be busy lmao

I'm ready to get 0-2'd
 
Important quote from the FB page, since we are on PS4 (at least, the last sentence is important):

Some important notes regarding Street Fighter V and the Playstation 4 at WBX!

Legacy support is banned for Street Fighter V at Winter Brawl X. That means that native Playstation 3 controller use is not allowed. Converters, like the Brooks, are allowed for non-PS4 controllers.

Each Street Fighter V station will have the delayed pause option enabled to avoid any interruptions.

Also, before your match starts, remember to go into the Playstation 4 Settings > Devices > Bluetooth Devices and delete all the profiles. This applies to any Playstation 4 title, not only Street Fighter V.
 
I might sign up and just play Peacock or something.

Dont skill seed me unless you have to i'm strictly gatekeeper at best tier now
 
Every game but Skullgirls has their brackets up.
Also I'm in my SFV and Smash U pool at the same time RIP
 
Brackets will be up tonight. Submitting them now. Calm down.

So just got confirmation I can attend, but I won't be showing up until 4:30-5pm on Saturday.

Will I be able to register on-site that close to the start time?
 
Super hype that IGTUnkn0wn entered!
 
that was....a tournament. Shoutouts to Top 8.
 
Shoutouts to being handed PS3 setups for SG despite being told we be on PS4.

Shoutouts to being forced to provide our own consoles and monitors for pools.

Shoutouts to our organizers not being told any of this until 3 hours before tournament.

Shoutouts to Top 8 being in side room despite being promised otherwise.

Shoutouts to questioning whether or not our players are going to get paid winnings.

Shoutouts to wondering if our players are ever going to get paid winnings from past events.

Shoutouts to nothing about SG's treatment changing at a Big E event in 3 years.

Edit: Oh. And i guess Shoutouts to internet dropping during pools. Didn't know that was happening.

Have they not been?
Peanuts told me he hadn't been paid what he won at NEC. I heard something about Cloud not getting money for TFC, but had not confirmed with him.

If I'm wrong about anything, my b. But it's messed up. Something is always screwed, it never feels good. The most fun I had at this event was outside the venue or in someone's hotel room. I really don't feel like going to another Big E event, and I think this was my last one. I'm tired of spending all this money to go out and feeling like a second class citizen. There's no difference between going to a Big E event and all of us meeting up in a random McDonalds parking lot to play SG.

Pretty much what Zid said. I've been in contact with Big E in the weeks and months since NEC. He says there's some sort of problem with my Paypal specifically. He eventually refunded me for my Winter Brawl registration and said he would get me the rest when he figured out what was wrong, which has not happened yet. He took a long time to pay me for Summer Jam and TFC but I did eventually get that money. No clue what's going on with Cloud's TFC money, it was like 100 dollars too.

To be fair, I kind of dropped the ball on this since I didn't talk to Min or Big E about payouts immediately after the Skullgirls tournament ended, but can you blame me? At this point I go into these expecting not to get paid. I messaged Big E about payouts yesterday around 10am but haven't heard back. I'll keep bugging him about it I guess but I'm not expecting a ton.
