Horror Nights is really expensive! Do we go for an awesome backup plan?

  • (Don't) $70-$100 could cover some kickass backup plans, and my flight's landing too late anyway.

Have you ever said, "Man, I'd love to go to CEO, but I'm already taking off the next weekend for Evo?"

What about, "Go to Florida in the summer? Are you crazy?"

You heard it, folks! Universal Studios' 25th annual Halloween Horror Nights will be taking place during this tournament, and for those adventurous individuals willing to show up on October 16th, we're all gonna go!

I mean the final version of Encore. Aren't the title screens going to be changed on all versions?

And actually, the PS4 version will be superior in every way (the only thing it won't have is the Home button lock, but since the Home button doesn't DO anything on PS4 anyway the functionality is identical) so I wouldn't be against the PS4 version of the game being featured. The plan as of now is to use PS3 as is the current standard.
 
I'm broke as hell currently and can't make it to CEO, but I'll do my best to make it to this.

Not exactly. 2nd Encore refers to the PS4 and Vita version that includes exclusive--for now, maybe--features and modes. PS3 and 360 won't have these new features and modes, but PC might.
 
Can't, gonna be wanking about Android in Texas those days.
 
This is the only major that I have the weekend off for in the foreseeable future so I'm considering traveling to this but damn I am not looking forward to that flight from Toronto.

Hooah! The Facebook page for the event has been posted: https://www.facebook.com/events/574199709401099/

Registration starts in August. I'd post the event image in the OP of this thread, but a certain game seems to be missing from it for some reason.

Can't believe they'd shaft Arcana Heart like that.

wait, the website says 89 a night. What gives?

Info on the website is out of date. Up to date info is in the FB event page. The venue changed from the Allure Resort to the Wydnham Hotel, which is apparently where the regular CEO usually takes place.
Jebailey changed the venue because there were a lot of concerns about the quality of the Allure Resort dipping since he last used it from what I understand.

EDIT: Actually, it seems like that web page has half old info and half new info. Well, I did hear it went down and he's been working on getting it back up. Probably typos he made in his rush to get the ball rolling on this event.
 
Why doesn't Melty get game art?
Why did they use Carnival Phantasm?
Why is it a picture of Phantas-moon, who isn't even in the game?
Why is my time off not approved yet? I don't wanna be a maybe forever.

I've seen a bunch of people complaining about that actually but isn't that kind of nitpicking considering they are the same character with a different outfit? I mean its a little weird but its hardly worth making a fuss over.

I agree it's kinda silly, but I think in a way it's because a game has been overlooked/treated lazily for an event that is about taking a segment of games that are often overlooked/treated lazily and not doing that.

That said, the event will be remembered more for the event, people just like complaining on the internet.

Nice. Glad to see other people have their priorities straight too.

CEOtaku trialer just went up


Apparently, there's going to be $1k pot bonus for SG provided by LabZero? Awaiting official confirmation!
lawl we posted it at the same time. So I just deleted mine but yeah surprise pot bonus?
 
Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
 
wow

I am very surprised

shocked

;)

But seriously, I'm very pleased that LZ & Autumn went this route. Based on what the community wanted (to not really focus on EVO), they spread out their tourney money. That's really cool.
 
My hype for Skullgirls at CEOtaku just intensified!!!

Big thanks to Autumn for being Godlike publishers!
 
Man this just makes me want to watch the cosplay contest and hope someone there is as pretty as Rise.


Thank you Autumn for helping make this a real major for SG!

Not so much laziness as unfamiliarity. The character images/order were all sourced from fans of the games either offering character names or emailing over suitable high-resolution art. In this case a fan pulled a fast one on us and we weren't familiar enough to know till after the flyer was up.

The CEO crew all admit we aren't anime-scene experts, and we're gonna stumble because of it, but we're taking any advice offered in an effort to make sure-footed steps towards getting this right. I'm sadly confident this won't be the last thing nitpick-able, but we're aiming for something memorable (for the right reasons) by the end of the event.

Looking forward to seeing anyone who makes it out!

I don't have any qualms with your use of the Val image in the flyer or anything, and don't really care what you do for other games, but if you guys EVER need high-res Skullgirls art to use, please don't hesitate to let me/us know.

Absolutely will. Thank you!
 
More info added to the OP to reflect recent revelations! (namely pot bonus, fancy facebook link, updated venue, etc)
