Super Gonq Battles - Ottawa's Biggest Fighting Game Tournament in a Long Fukken Time(tm)

Where?
Ottawa, Ontario.
1385 Woodroffe Ave.
Algonquin College, Robert C. Gillett Student Commons
1st and 2nd floor. Lobby and room e206a/b.

When?
Saturday, November 22nd. Noon - 9pm.

Pricing?
One time $5 venue fee for tournament participants.
$10 entry to main games.
$5 entry to side tournaments.

Tournament pricing on side tournaments subject to change based on participant interest.

Why should I come?
  • We have anime confirmed to be coming out from MTL, so if you think you can play GG, BB, Ultimax or Skullgirls, you're in good company.
  • This venue is currently the heart of the Ottawa Melee competitive community, as we've been running monthlies for ages now. We had 72 entrants for Melee Singles last month.
  • Ottawa doesn't get many big events, and this one is the biggest we're capable of. Nearly every community on board to help out.
  • College campus. Lots of pot monsters. Fo sho.

Without further ado, the games we're running:

GAMES AND TOURNAMENT START TIMES
On-site Registration starts at 11am.

Tekken and SFIV - Around 4pm
Anime – Around 2pm
Melee pools – Around 2 pm
Smash 4 Wii U - immediately after Melee Singles.
Poverty Side Games (Unib, SG and Ultimax) - Evening

Other games will likely be run at the event as well.

We're also pending a "mystery games" tournament (check back for updates)

We ask that people register themselves on this spreadsheet to give us accurate estimates of participants. THIS IS NOT AN EARLY BIRD REGISTRATION.

POSSIBLE EVENTS
Mystery Game Tournament (Confirmation Pending)

Parking?
Yes. It's free parking. All day.

How's the venue?
Well-ventilated and roomy, but please remember to shower and wear deodorant. There should be plenty of electrical for your own setup... also Starbucks.

Livestreamed?
Yes. The plan is to run two broadcasts, one for Melee and one for HD games, both featuring commentary. More info closer to the date.

Am I forgetting anything?
Probably, the thread will be updated regularly. For local players, you can stay updated with all Gonq events at: https://www.facebook.com/groups/algonquincgc/

Community interest?
All of Ottawa is on board for my gross misuse of student tuition to throw giganto fighting game tournaments.

MTL is confirmed for Anime games. Ottawa will win Guilty Gear, tho.
MTL better show for Smash or they are a bunch o' free hazbeens.
I'd love to have MTL's SF come out. We never talk.

Some Toronto is confirmed for Smash. If more players from TO would show to try and take our money, that would be good too (Not that it would happen. O:< ).

Tournament Organizers
Krackatoa - Venue Guy, Resident Carrot Top/Ronald-san lookalike
AndyDiluvian - Capcom, Spent Snafu's money on Popeye's

VOLUNTEER STATIONS/SETUPS APPRECIATED. Bring a patched console (With copies of one of the listed games) or monitor/CRT with you when you register: If we can find a space for it, we'll waive venue for one person.

How bad an idea is it to fly to this tournament just to enter Skullgirls

Probably pretty bad, to be honest. This isn't a major, and the scene is pretty small potatoes. Myself and Dag are pretty much all of Ottawa (Which makes it so sad that MTL is so fraaaaay). It's better if you want to play more than just SG, because the anime presence is going to be pretty fuckin' legit.

It'd make more sense for us to meet at a US major, or something (Not that I can travel this year. I want to hit up NEC or EVO eventually, once I'm not dead from school).
 
This is the exact same date as CECC. Nevermind, apparently CECC will be Jan 17. Just confirmed.

I kind of want to go, but I'd only be there for SG.

don't you also play unib? A little bird told me(strikersashi)
 
I did at first, but I got tired of it pretty fast.
 
Because Linne sucks and has no mixups.

Didn't Linne win like the last two majors for UNIEL lol
 
Because Linne sucks and has no mixups.

you're playing not her properly then, she does have mixups and they're extremely nasty. They're almost bordering carmine's on the unpleasantness level. She has solid left/right mix ups with roll and jump. She's stupidly safe. She has two reversals an aa and a leap(hcb or hcf) that's safe also.

you're also playing a character who absolutely bodies mine and my character is literally beats waldstien, is even with merkava and slight disadvantage with gord.
 
She's very unsafe and very linear. You just don't know her holes.

Her mixups can be reacted to from a mile away.

The game has crouch tech and you can't cancel your normals during their recovery so there's no low/throw mixup and stagger pressure is overall worse than it could be. Not to mention the BS gold throw tech thing. RIP Tick throws.

And lol crossups in a game with crossup protection.

Man didnt even know about this. Totally would have showed up for this if I knew
 
GGs to Essay, Shnarfl and Agent13. It was great to get tourny matches and casuals in with Squiggles. Shame I didn't get a chance to get wrecked by Krackatoa and Dagwood this time since you two were so busy. Next time, we'll get matches in for sure!
