Booking now....but those room prices at the resort....WOOOOFFF.


Anyone have any recommendations for hotels that are Uber/cab distance away from the venue?

I don't know, to be honest. I just stayed at the venue last time. I should mention, I'm not sure what the Uber/cab situation is like in Mashantucket, Connecticut. From what I remember it's not a big town. You know, you build the casinos where it's legal to do so, not necessarily where it's convenient for anyone.

Just so you all know what's good, the $300 pot bonus for Skullgirls at GUTS 4 is NOT contingent on a certain number of entrants. If it's a 3 man tournament then the pot for that tournament will be $330.

Most likely going to end up renting a car honestly, so it's a non issue.

Reminder that you're fucking up by not supporting this event in some way.

That said I don't think I can go, but I don't want to say I CAN'T yet. @dapurplesharpie what version of BB is being run there, Central Fiction or Chrono Phantasma Extend?

Why would you say this in here and not the Facebook chat? lol

Dhoppler and I are going, I'm making plans to book the rental car and a hotel that's an hour from the airport and 18 minutes from the venue. That makes three of us, with a fourth person costs will be very reasonable for us (hotel + rental car). Talk to me yo!

Because I'm not a smart man. Also, I don't truck with your kids and your newfangled facespace and mybook. But you kids don't respond to carrier pigeons like you're supposed to

Another $200 has been added to the pot bonus, making a total of $500 for Skullgirls!

@Vadsamoht could you please update the pot bonus to $500 on the "Tournaments with a Pot Bonus or Main Stage" thing on the main index? Thank you!

e: Wow that was fast. Thanks!

Hey all!

Less than a week to sign up for the LOW LOW PRICE of $35! Registration jumps up to $40 after AUGUST 11th, which is next Thursday so be sure to preregister before then.

Registration link: https://smash.gg/tournament/guts-4-game-underground-tournament-spectacular-4

At the moment, only a few people have registered for SG. It'd be nice if we could hit 20 people before next week registered to SG.

Signed up. What exact airport should i choose?

Edit: chose bradley. See you all there.

If you need a ride from Bradley let me know. I'm the closest to it and don't mind grabbing someone if it helps.

I wanted to go to Summer Jam X since it was very local, but was unable to get the time off -- GUTS likely be the first tournament I attend. I'm coming in from about a 7 hour drive; do I need to take Thursday off so I can arrive and stand in line and get a badge, or would I be able to realistically do all of this on Friday? I have also seen no mention of when the formal tournament starts, so I guess that plays a part.

If you've got the room already booked, coming up Thursday may not be a bad idea if only to make sure you're not rolling up exhausted. As for the reg stuff, you should be fine doing it on Friday, but feel free to correct me as need be guys.

This all looks right to me. @BlueFeena this isn't like GenCon or something where there's a multiple hour wait to get badges, you should pretty much be able to roll up Friday morning. I'd still recommend getting there Thursday night if you can since otherwise you'll prolly be too exhausted to do stuff. There isn't an official schedule for which games are on which days, so for the time being you should be prepared for Skullgirls to be on either Friday or Saturday.

Honestly, you may as well get there Thursday morning. Why waste the day?

Yeah. Every 12 hours between you and the tournament improves the experience drastically. Have never arrived Wednesday, but I've heard good things. The elusive Tuesday experience is a thing I've only herd murmurs of, though.
