Gaming Tournaments

Post Reply New Topic

Does anybody attend these or host their own locally / offline?
Have you ever won? Win any prizes?

I'm going to one in an hour and the prize is a custom painted SNES and some bits
Street Fighter Alpha 2 on SNES is the game we will be playing. Wish me luck lol

Hey maybe we should all try and organize a tourney on here with a game that's accessible to most people and easy to be a spectator. What do you think?

Button Mashing =P
Good luck in the tourney.
Trying to remember if I did enter a Gaming Tournament but I don't think I have done...
No I haven't competed, though I think I'd compete for the fun now, before I really disliked losing a lot but now I'm rather composed about not winning.

bits

An old game system sounds like a pretty lame prize. SNES games look terrible on an HDTV unless they're played on the Wii since it supports 480p resolution.

It was a custom painted one (have to say it was pretty sweet), and the entrance to the tournament was free and they had good food/drink deals on.
I got knocked out fairly early (unfortunately all but 1 of the best players out of us 16 were in my group!!). But considering how bad others played I don't feel bad about it lol. It was a lot of fun. And that's really what it's about. am going to donate some consoles for their future sessions.

Venger, we played it on a projector using S-Video. It held up surprisingly well. The speed of the game on a console was better than emulated speed (emulators still haven't mastered the chipset that one game uses). Considering it was at 480i (less than the Wii's maximum of 576p via component) it looked good. Then again I come from an older generation of gamers and I probably commend the idea they ported a 32-bit game that requires expansion so well to a 16-bit console.
