I'm also in on the 360 side! I preordered XIII from Amazon with two-day shipping, so it should be here on the 28th.

First post has been updated! I have the rules and times finalized with the exception of the DLC characters. I don't want to ban characters if I don't have to so I'm waiting to hear more about them.

I noticed some of you have failed to mention your gamertag. One of you even forgot to mention which system you want to play on. Please go back and do so. Thanks.

First post has been updated!....

Worst case scenario!... and we still have some loading problems in between matches, please ask the participants to save the game to the hard-drive, (if they can.) to fixes the problem.

Where is everyone meeting? The toolbar chat?

[MetalThrashingMadman]

Yeah, the toolbar chat. It seems to be the easiest way. But I will post the matchups in this thread as well. People will only need to find their name and they will see who they need to fight.

@Chipymax: Good suggestion. I'll add that soon.

Where is everyone meeting? The toolbar chat?

The 360 users could use the Wibiya Chat. The PS3 users could use the PSN Chatroom, which is text and can have up to 16 players IIRC. Another option is to use PS HOME and meet at a apartment/place and use the voice chat. Did that for several SF4 tournaments and it was kinda cool, I mean, it's a different experience.

[MetalThrashingMadman]

I don't think that's a bad idea. But since I'm running a separate tournament for each system at the same time it's much easier for me if people check in and report their wins/losses through the toolbar chat.

As far as just chatting with each other during the tournament goes, you guys can do whatever you want. In fact, if you guys can manage to keep all the conversational stuff outside of the toolbar chat then it will be easier for me to do my job since the toolbar chat won't be cluttered.

I would like to join in as well

when is this

[MetalThrashingMadman]

Check the first post dude. Everything you need to know is there.

[Chipymax]

I will assume, that since they delayed the game for only one month... the only problem is probably the Net-code, so now I'm like 120% sure that the Net-code is going to be really good  ... and that will make the tournament better for everybody. I will wait for the new date.... Peace out!!! 

[MetalThrashingMadman]

Since the game has been delayed I'll obviously be changing the day this tournament happens. I don't know if I'll be going out of town for Thanksgiving or what. Need to call my folks to see where we are having it this year

Don't anybody worry. I'll have things squared away soon.

[MetalThrashingMadman]

I have set a new date for the tournament. It will take place on December 3rd. I wanted to do it on November 26, but I will not be available at that time.

I talked to Dark Geese and he said he will be joining in on the madness. He's also going to try to get his pals in the latin KOF community to sign up. So I think we can look forward to some fierce and diverse competition in this thing.

I'm so hyped right now that I don't know what to do.

[omegaryuji]

Keep me in for now, but with the new date, I'm probably going to be missing this in favor of being at NEC.

Good luck to all of the players, in either case!  Pretty cool to hear that DG and maybe some latin players will be joining in.

I'm in, I will be getting KOF Xlll for ps3
