Ok so as the title states this is what the thread is for. Who is interested? Who would be down? Im not sure if anyone else is doing one already and I have heard some discussions here and there from people interested but I need to know what I am dealing with if I plan on running this thing. I have no CPU with roms If I must it would be played on JP PS2 as those are the most portable versions of the games I have access to. Running list would be as follows:
SamSho II
MoW
Real Bout 2 possibly
98 UM
02 UM possibly
KOF XI possibly
CVS2 if someone isnt already planning on doing it.
and maybe KOF 95 as it is my favorite old style one
Payout or what have you wouldnt be high and would more likely than not be out of my own pocket so expect meager returns for a meager investment.
I need a good bracket template to use, Ive contacted Giby for some info no reply as of yet.
My reasoning is that these old SNK games are as viable or more so than the Capcom games present at Evo, that being said Evo is a Capcom and apparently now Microsoft KI tournament as that is where their money is coming from so they must go that route, and thats fine.
I just want to get the most viable side tourney for old SNK games that the US has seen in awhile going. Consider this an Alpha build for something I have been kicking around in my mind for a well and away decade+.
What I need from you all who are not old men and more tech savy than I am, is to get the word out. If there are more viable methods to get this going such as me not lugging a CRT or two around and a PS2 or so then by all means I am listening.
Thankyou.

Rules For most of the fighting games listed will be 2 outta 3 double elim. Im working on getting another setup just to run CVS2 on as it will probably take the longest. GF for all games will be 3 outta 5 with exception of maybe CVS2 as that game will take forever.
Sam Sho II is going to be the exception it will also be 2-3 double elim with the added rule that if you are killed at the end of the last match hard slash finisher ect. youre dead and youre out of the tournament. That includes being cut in half or artery spray. Dead means dead. standard timer will be in effect.
Sam Sho II will have the most risk reward as it is my favorite so whoever is in get your blade grasp skills down.
UPDATE: Entry is still being decided but probably a 5 dollar buy in and everyone will get something for entering. Some more than others if you enter multiple games.
Update II: MoW, SamSho II, RealBout 2, 98 are for sure after much debate are there any other games you all would like to see if you enter? Limted to PS2 Collection still mind you Maybe a Fuun Tag Battle tourney or maybe Another idea we were thinking of is potentially a high score challenge on something like Ikari Warriors and or Athena as I am a die hard of both games. More soon.
