PnT will be holding off on the next couple weeks worth of tournaments untill we can figure out a way to better publicize them. The last couple of tourneys after SF4 were low turn out, and we are going to brain storm some ways to better get the word out.

Of course this site’s goal is to be the place to get the word out. We’ll be moving ahead with placing flyers in various high visablity places including the front desk at Play N Trade. Our forums will be open soon too, which will also help.

If you have friends that game, let them know about the site. Word of mouth is a great tool.

Next up on the PnT list of tournaments is Capcom vs. SNK 2. System will be PS2.

Tournament starts at 7pm and buy in is $5. Winner takes the pot and gets free entry into the following tournament.

Someone really needs to step up and shut down Jimmy. He has won every tournament he’s played in, in the last 2 months.

Another small turn out, but fun none the less. No one really being serious about the game, we had a good time figuring out what linked in the middle of the matches.

Match 1: Jimmy C. vs Thomas N. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 2: Jimmy C. vs Ryan T. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 3: Thomas N. vs Ryan T. | Winner: Thomas

Match 4: Thomas N. vs Jimmy C. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Wed. 3/11/09, Play N Trade will be hosting a Pocket Fighter tournament at 7pm.

Game will be the PS1 version, played on a PS2. $5 buy in, winner takes the pot.

Shenanigans are almost guaranteed.

There was a really small turn out tonight. That was expected though, as the PS1 version was played.

Since there were only 3 players, we did the tourney round robin style.

Match 1: Tracy L. vs Travone B. | Winner: Tracy L.

Match 2: TracyL. vs Malik M. | Winner: Tracy L.

Match 3: Travone B. vs Malik M. | Winner: Malik M.

Match 4: Tracy L. vs Malik M. | Winner: Tracy L.

Next week’s tournament is still up in the air.

My apologies. There is no video of the tournament right now. The camera that I used to record the event created semi-corrupt .h264 files that are not tracking properly and can’t be converted to anything usable at the moment. The camera also died after the 6th round 1 match, charged through rounds 2 and 3 and caught the final match. I’ll try and not noob it up next time.

We had 14 players for this tournament. Double the previous number.

The bracket:

(Round 1)

Match 1: Shane F. vs Brian C. | Winner: Shane F.

Match 2: Malik M. vs Marquese J. | Winner:  Marquese J.

Match 3: Jimmy C. vs  Tracy L. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 4: Javoris F. vs Taylor S. | Winner: Javoris F.

Match 5: Tramaine T. vs Jeffery F. | Winner: Jeffrey F.

Match 6:  Justin S. vs Jarrod B. | Winner: Jarrod B.

Match 7: Ryan T. vs *Thomas N. | Winner: *Thomas N.

(Round 2)

Match 8: Shane F. vs Marquese J. | Winner: Shane P.

Match 9: Jimmy C. vs Javoris F. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 10: Jeffrey F. vs Jarrod B. | Winner: Jeffery F.

(Round 3)

Match 11: Shane F. vs Jimmy C. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 12: Jeffery F. vs Thomas N. | Winner: Thomas N.

(Final)

Match 13:  Jimmy C. vs Thomas N. | Winner: Jimmy C.

*Denotes player who got free pass to round 3 due to uneven teams.

Play N Trade will be hosting a Marvel vs Capcom tournament, Wed. March 4th at 7pm.

Should be interesting as the game will be the PS1 version, played on a PS3. Buy in is $5 and winner takes the pot.

Side note: We’ll have our SF4 footage up shortly.

This will be the last game in PnT’s series of Street Fighter tournaments.

Should be interesting to see what happens with all players having equal time with the game.

Tournament starts at 7pm. $5 buy in. System is Playstation 3. Winner takes home a Madcatz SF4 gamepad of their choice. As far as we’ve heard, there is no restriction on charecters used, except maybe Seth. Bring your own gamepad or joystick if you wish.

We will also be recording the event and should have a video of the gameplay to post up with the results.

It seems like the Diamond Jim’s veterans are coming out of the wood work lately.

I am slightly dissapointed in the conduct of some players though. Win or lose, it’s a good learning experience.

If you think you are “wasting your F’n time” — Why even show up? You’re just not going to get this kind of experience playing the CPU, or even online.

Here are the results:

Match 1: Ryan T. vs Chris P. | Winner: Chris P.

Match 2: AJ H. vs Thomas N. | Winner: AJ H.

Match 3: Jimmy C. vs Tre C. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 4: Chris P. vs AJ H. | Winner: Chris P.

Match 5: Tracy L.* vs Jimmy C. | Winner: Jimmy C.

Match 6: Chris P. vs Jimmy C. | Winner: Jimmy C.

*Denotes uneven player randomly chosen to start in semi-finals.

After about 30 minutes of techincal difficulty the tournament was finally under way.

Who would have thought that downloadable titles on the 360, such as SSF2THDR,

would result in full games reverting into locked demos when there is no internet connection?

A couple of epic matches took place, especially between Tracy L. and Chris P.

And the results are:

Match 1: Sean G. vs AJ H. | Winner: Sean G.

Match 2: Ryan T. vs Jason C. | Winner: Ryan T.

Match 3: Chris P. vs Ian K. | Winner:  Chris P.

Match 4: Sean G. vs Ryan T. | Winner: Sean G.

Match 5: Chris P. vs Tracy L.* | Winner: Chris P.

Match 6: Chris P. vs Sean G. | Winner: Chris P.

*Denotes uneven player who started in semi final.
