renders from long beach, and if he goes I'd probably be down. And I live in Oxnard
 
I'm pretty sure this was Render's idea. A while back, he asked people on IRC about what to name a hypothetical Skullgirls event/convention.
 
Wasn't my idea originally. The guys from Ninja-con approached us about holding something and it turned into this. It's definitely Lab Zero-endorsed, though!

For the record, the maids, the j-pop band, and the trip-hop dude were not our idea. :P

I'll be there, mostly running the tournament. :D

You lucky Long Beachers
This sounds super fun, I wish I could go >_<
Seriously if anyone here who lives in the area doesn't go, I will DESTROY YOU

But yeah hopefully this has a good turn out!
Unlike the tournaments *ba dum tish
 
Any idea if this will be streamed?

It will be streamed, but if you're anywhere near the area, I definitely recommend you come in person!! :D
 
By the way, Number 13, some of the info from the FB page will be updated/polished over the next couple of days, so please update your post when it is.

I was going to start this thread myself, but the event organizer didn't tell me the info was going live. This is pretty much how I feel about that.

I live in Rhode Island, which is on the east coast :'( But good to hear that it's being streamed!
 
If you get a good turnout, is this something you plan to do on a monthly or yearly basis?
 
I'm interested but I wouldn't want to have to drive 5 hours back home immediately afterwards and a hotal is mostly out of the question.
 
I'm certain there are plenty of people in SoCal who'd be willing to put you up for a night, Maji. ;D

Please stop yelling at me ;_;

Though in all seriousness, if there is anyone willing to put up with me for a night, I would take a much more serious look into seeing if I could go.
 
Was I yelling at you???? D:
I was kidding around but you unintentionally yelled for me when I was close by a lot at Evo during the tournament. I just find it funny.
 
Sounds awesome, don't know if it would merit the plane ride from east coast tho...

Oh yeah, I remember that! Good times. (Also sorry again ;___;)
 
Damn I wish I could go, this sounds damn fun. Hate Vegas, its boring here ;-/
 
Heeey it's so close! I'm in!
 
Oh I definitely want to go this sounds fun and the tournament could show me if I've gotten better or not.
 
whats the matter, can't juggle?

this sounds interesting, but being about 4 hours away with no reliable car is not fun to deal with. i'll try to go but we'll see what happens.
 
OP updated with more in depth information notably details on the Skullgirls Tournament and Cosplay Contest. EightySixed will also be on site with merchandise as well.
 
I am trying to get a pot bonus for tourney or for cos play. Not sure which would be better...

Cosplay.

Yeah cosplay.
 
Would be very silly of me to miss out on this. Not exactly sure if I'll play in the tourney though.
 
Totally going. Woooo
 
Cosplay huh? I'm surprised yet not really surprised.

That made no sense. But I will see what I can do!

Well my reasoning is, a pot bonus for the tournament adds an incentive for tournament players to be there, whereas a pot bonus for cosplay adds an incentive for cute girls dressed as Parasoul or w/e to be there, and it's like, if you can only incentivize one of these groups to come to your event...

And if you get the two combined... Oh dear god!
Unless of course, all the cosplayers are just Adam...
