Vitani Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Do you have to be available for the whole two hours to take part? There are some talks that clash with the games I'm interested in. Also, do we need prior knowledge on how to play the games? I've never played Mario Brawl before, but no how to operate a Wii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some talks that clash with the games I'm interested in. Also, do we need prior knowledge on how to play the games? I've never played Mario Brawl before, but no how to operate a Wii. These games are all very simple so prior knowledge isn't required. Of course you'd be at a disadvantage to someone who has played it before, but that applies to everything. And Free, it's just Super Smash Bros. Brawl - no Mario in the title. Edited July 11, 2009 by speedlol!ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doudou02100 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Street Fighters 4!!!! But why on Xbox 360???? The Xbox 360's pad is very very very bad for this game!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedlol!ta Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Street Fighters 4!!!! But why on Xbox 360???? The Xbox 360's pad is very very very bad for this game!!!!!! Well, ideally so is the PS3 pad. An arcade stick would be ideal, and can be provided but that wouldn't be fair on the opponent using the Xbox 360 controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted July 11, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 11, 2009 SF4 isn't that bad on the 360 pad. You get used to it pretty quickly. Sure the arcade stick would be nice, but those things are expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try get my hands on a Mad Catz SE then I'll bring them - would make the tournament more fun. Of course if people preferred to use a pad that's fine too.

When your tournament starts there will be a rota of when your match is on. Provided you're there when your matches are due to take place, then that's fine and you can wander off. Obviously if we can't find you when your match is on, then you forfeit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoeDark Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Lucky am going to be busy or I would be winning the sonic 2 tournament.

trekkie101 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I'd like some clarification please: Sonic 2 - What exactly are the criteria for winning the tournament? Are we talking about powering through specific zones, or speed runs? What about speed emerald collecting? - Will this be done on the original megadrive, or downloaded onto a next-gen console? Super Smash Brothers Brawl - Will all additional players (Sonic, Snake, ROB etc.) be available? - What controllers will be available? Wiimote only, or will there be a Gamecube pad option? Quick response greartly appreciated. Only a few hours left to practice after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Road Runner Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Sorry. I cannot answer that for you. I'm Afraid the people that can answer that for you are already there. chances are sm wont see this to answer your question. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedlol!ta Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) As I'm sure you're now aware real Mega Drives were provided, 3 in fact and it was a speed run. And people were given the option for Brawl. I believe the tournaments were rather successful. :) Edited July 19, 2009 by speedlol!ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
