Oh sweet, a bigger venue. Shoot, it's on PS3... I don't own a PS3 controller.

 

[Prince Adon]

Oh sweet, a bigger venue. Shoot, it's on PS3... I don't own a PS3 controller.

I'm sure we'll try to bring extra pads. I'm hoping to be able to make this.

 

[Pink Nitro]

This is at the same spot from last year, right? I'll try to make it if someone'll bring me an extra controller.

 

[loan_grains]

seams good to attend, like a good warm up before the NCR2014 major.

 

[loan_grains]

It would be sick to see some capcom vs snk 2 on that venue, I believe that NCR is going to have that game on there side venues but then again that's NCR this is the best of the battle lol.

 

[loan_grains]

oh yeah one more question for thought, is there parking space in this area or do i need to pay a fee for parking, the craziness of the bay area parking fee's

 

[NukNuks]

This is at the same spot from last year, right? I'll try to make it if someone'll bring me an extra controller.

It is and it isn't in the same spot from last years summer tourney. It's the same parking lot but it's in a different suite in the same complex.

oh yeah one more question for thought, is there parking space in this area or do i need to pay a fee for parking, the craziness of the bay area parking fee's

There is free parking. Plenty of space for everyone. You will not have to pay for parking at all.

 

[Pink Nitro]

Well as long as someone brings me a controller I can probably make it. Unless of course I'm forgetting something and my parents drag me somewhere.

 

[iHajinShinobi]

I'd much rather DOA be on the 360. Can we have that instead or is it really mandatory?

 

[NukNuks]

I'd much rather DOA be on the 360. Can we have that instead or is it really mandatory?

We can run it in on 360 if y'all want to. Maybe you & @Requiem can bring am extra set-up? The more the merrier

 

[iHajinShinobi]

Yeah, bringing a 360 set up is not an issue, so that will be assured.

 

[NukNuks]

Yeah, bringing a 360 set up is not an issue, so that will be assured.

Tight. Monitors always help too

 

[iHajinShinobi]

Not a problem, will do.

 

[Pink Nitro]

Hurray, I actually got a new controller (The last one... not putting up with it disconnecting on it's own anymore). Can't wait.

 

[Pink Nitro]

Actually... I can't make it. Family and I are going to Disneyland on the 22nd. Plus I'll be out of surgery as I'll have had my wisdom teeth removed, and I can't play all drugged up. Sorry.

 

[NukNuks]

Yo! Just checking in to see who from NorCal or nearby is interested in attending?

@Prince Adon @iHajinShinobi @Requiem @loan_grains @ToiletMangoes @Punishere @Blacka Blocka Flocka @Incognito @thrust07 @BloodBurger @Renarism & anyone else if I forgot

 

[iHajinShinobi]

I should be in attendence next week. BloodBurger isn't NorCal, he's SoCal.

 

[Prince Adon]

I'm not sure if I can make it yet or not. It'll depend on my situation by then. I'll try my best, though.

 

[Prince Adon]

Best of the Battle V was amazing! @iHajinShinobi and Prince Adon went one on one in Grand finals with Gen Fu vs Sarah. Brackets were reset, and the battle went on til the very last drop! @Requiem went through the tournament wrecking stuff with his pocket Brad Wong, and Akira! @NukNuks got out early by an upset by @Sixmsj , and Requiem! (NukNuk used Rachel, Bass and Pai).-Nai- came hella late (typical nigga), and Griffin and Saul was there, but don't remember!

I wish we could have streamed/recorded this amazing event for you all to see, but these were the highlights of BOTBV from yours truly, The Best in the World, Prince Adon!
