[mcpeanuts]

Thanks for making the thread :D

 

[Kazmer]

LOOK AT MY FACE

I'm almost definitely coming to this. FF is always a good time.

 

[Merlock]

I should be bringing 2 setups to this
1ps3 1 laptop
I can also bring an lgp if people want games recorded

 

[BGCallisto]

I might be able to facilitate a spare splitter so that an LGP can be used, but I have experiences with it adding a frame or two of lag when used as a passthrough so I'd rather not utilize it in that way for tourney matches.

Top 8 will be streamed.

 

[Icky]

Considering going to this if it looks like there will be a decent turn out. I regret missing NEC :L

 

[Merlock]

if you can only afford one midwest trip I'd do combo breaker instead -- but that won't be until march or so

Do both.

wtf is combo breaker

 

[Merlock]

wtf is combo breaker

combo breaker is more or less ufgt 11

keits is no longer officially involved so the name was changed but the guy who co-ran most of ufgtx is the one taking over the reigns

Oh, I see. I guess I thought not-UFGT would be in May, I thought that's around the time it happens. I'll keep it in mind, though. I can probably do both.

Good to know, it probably would be one or the other. Thanks!

 

[Kazmer]

Combo Breaker is the same weekend as UFGT was, end of May.

 

[FuLLBLeeD]

I'll be going. Holla at yo boy

edit: Dhoppler and RydenOnCars will be there too!

 

[mcpeanuts]

Alright I registered and have my flight and the days off work and stuff so I will officially be there. Don't have the hotel room yet but I'm pretty sure I can get a room with this one dude I know from MA (he's cool (he plays May)).

 

[Kazmer]

All May players are cool by default

People should try to go to this if they can because Skullgirls is getting actual support from the organizers instead of being treated as a glorified BYOC event.

yeah I was pleasantly surprised to see it on the site prereg list

Agreed I think the tournaments people should prioritize are ones where Skullgirls is something you can prereg for and gets actual stream time, this has both of those which is why I'm going.

 

[Icky]

So, do people still suggest that i try to go to combo breaker instead of this? Or does the pre-reg/stream time change people's opinions?

skullgirls was an official game with stream time and prereg at UFGTX and I don't have any reason to believe it will be different at Combo Breaker

Rick the guy running Combo Breaker made skullgirls a main bill event at our small state tournament also

granted the full games list hasn't been published yet, but based on it being the same date in the same venue I'd say it's safe to say skullgirls will be an event with prereg and stream time that is bigger than frosty's attendance

 

[Flotilla]

Really looking forward to this, last year was awesome.

[NCV]

Alright so I haven't pre-regged since I'll need to switch around things at work to get there friday night. But I need to redeem myself from last year (jayford making it further than me brb sobbing. never again).

 

[Jayford]

For the time being

 

[legendary j]

I will be in chicago that weekend........not sure if I want to enter though...... To the KC crew....if ben goes, what to do a 2v2?

 

[Dhoppler]

Any excuse to shit on you in person.

 

[NCV]

Pre-regged, and ready to go. Hoping to break last year's numbers!

 

[FuLLBLeeD]

Yeah, I just remembered to pre-register too. I'm good to go, looking forward to seeing everyone!

 

[Cadenza]

yeaaah i won't be in. money and travel issues but have fun guise

 

[Kazmer]

Playing a few games last night has made me realize that I've almost completely forgotten how to play this game. So here's looking to another 0-2 I guess.

 

[erkicman]

If I'm in your bracket you're going 1-2. Have fun.

 

[Elda Taluda]

Got time off. Registered. So as long as my car holds up on the trip up there I'll see you all next week! What were the numbers like for participants at last years Frosty Faustings? Just curious.

@Merlock I'll be bringing your LINK that I've been holding onto since EVO.

I wanna say... mid-20's? I can't remember, exactly, but I don't think we broke past a 32-man bracket. I think there's actually a legit chance we'll have more entrants this year, though.
