Thats good enough to run a stream. You should set up a Ustream for the arcade or one dedicated to KOF.

The machine from Arcade Infinity was bought and moved to Alex's Arcade thanks to The Answer.

Good shit man, there's a really good chance we are having a beginners tournament so you should join in.

@cibernetico: Alex's Arcade was opened in the 80's so it's been around for a while but not till it was purchased by the new owners about a year a go that the place started to be noticed and I became a little more involved. I bought the KOF 13 board from AI when they closed and put in an HD cab that I had collecting dust, I decided to place it at AA because it would be easier to have some competition and it would help the community grow :)

After hours of testing, I don't think streaming would be a good option because the quality isn't so great. I did other tests with capturing video and then uploading to youtube after, and the quality was much better. Maybe not as good as Scott's, but still pretty decent.

Here's are some of samples I made last night with MvC3:

Just so you know we probably will have just short of 16 players total, a few won't be able to make it. To be able to make top 8 just means he would have to win only 1 match. Also we have a few new people, so it will depend on the randomization on the match ups. A better question than him making top 8 would be if he can make top 3.

Oh okay I didn't know this, i was under the assumption you all were gonna have 32 players, but that's okay, I still think it's gonna lead some interesting results, especially since the whole world of Mexico is awaiting to see the results...

Yeah, I dunno where this 32 players number came from.   We had 15 at the final AI tournament and at the most could squeeze in 5-6 more.  I was under the impression it was a small gathering of players out of respect for a visiting overseas KOF'er.

Jaime and I would head out there, but we're both busy, him with work, and me with installing new flooring :(

There's no chance of you guys ever doing a tourney on a Friday?

Oh ok I thought it was pretty dead in the thread after a tourney haha.

I don't think I'll have time to practice since AI is gone now =(.  Video 94 has it right?  Do people play KOF over there?

I was brought up Old School 98 and have created my own sense of playstyle. Hope 2 play you some day as well. Thanks for the recognition!
