YEEESSSSSSSS

[SAB-CA]

It'll be great to get a solid place to see all the secret tech people have developed, and been hiding from the console version when this comes around!

[Kane317]

I'd like to add that this event will be run on the console edition of KOF XIII.  If you enjoyed ReveLAtions, then you can expect the same type of quality at SCR!

[metaphysics]

I ordered my easy button from staples the other day, hopefully I get it on time cuz I'm gonna need it.

[Ash Riot]

Oh man I really want to go to this, but I'm pretty much going to be broke by the time I buy XIII. 

[Kane317]

Oh man I really want to go to this, but I'm pretty much going to be broke by the time I buy XIII.  

No excuses Lawrence, time to save up.  You have 3 whole months. =)

[Feez]

I will most probably be able to make it out!!!

[DJMirror949]

Swag

[Demoninja]

Damn, I think I actually won't be able to make it to SCR since that weekend is the weekend of finals week for me. I might have a Saturday final.

Shit, I have a final on Monday after SCR as well.

[tastylumpia]

In there! (I hope?)

[l2slythe]

Damn, I think I actually won't be able to make it to SCR since that weekend is the weekend of finals week for me. I might have a Saturday final.

^I have finals the week after too... Just have to study really hard 3 weeks prior while practicing your games. Eaaasssy! (From the guy who doesn't study.)

[Nocturnal]

I'll do my best to get the days off for this. It should be good times.

[N4Us]

Registration isn't open yet right?

[Kane317]
