ok here is the whole story
I went to my favorite hang out after work the day I made this topic the my friend and his boss
were talking bout setting up a tourny, so the boss leaves the details up to my friend, so of coarse the first question is what game, we are gearing the torney for Soul caliber 2
I was like if memory serves right the import gc version isn't out till atleast feb
so he goes okay thats out, any ideas, I said how bout something no one had done before, he goes like what
I said Kof, he said yeah but for what system,I was like what system is it out for thats
wide released, then it popped in my mind THE DREAMCAST, so he goes cool but which game now there is only 2 of them, I said Kof 2000 was released in augest for japan and 2k1 will be out in december, he first said I'm not gonna advertise for a game thats not out yet
so I said then we go with 2000, he said yeah but who has a copy, I said I do, he said you'll let us use it for the tourny, I said yup,
so he said It sounds like a plan, so we'll start spreading the word asap, so I was like cool I know just the crew that would love this, so i get home later that night and my brother and I were talking about the whole thing, and he said well if you are oging to post it make sure you post it as a rumor just incase some foolish shit happens, so I was like that might be a good idea, so hence the title and the start of the topic,then I make a rough flyercause I figured I have a good deal of snk character art on my pc so the next day I go to him and tell him I made a flyer and posted that a tourny for kof 2000 might be happening (just for the record I didn't just post it here I wanted a BIG tourny so that we could bring in a lot of new costomers)
anyway he was like cool email me the flyer and we'll see if its a good enough one to put out at the end of the month.so I was like cool consider it done. a few hours pass and a friend of ours walks in, so whats new he said, we tell him of the tourny and he is like KOF hmmm could be interesting, so he was cool with it too then another few hours passes by and another friend shows up, so we tell him about it, and he said
Bad idea there is no following up here for kof, the only guy that plays it is him (he was pointing at me) and a few kids from china town, other than that no one plays it especially not 2000 the game is 2 years old, so immediatly I say not true I said there are a bunch of guys playing kof at goodtimes these days, I bet if we advertise it just right we could have a good amount of players and we would have done a game that wasn't done before in a gaming tourny here in boston, then the guy said yeah right, your better off going with tekken 4 more people play that plus you can get all the previous tekken players cause they never change the game.
so after that the other guy who was previously ok with this said how bout doa3 or CvS
and tekkenman (what I've been calling this guy since) said, no its best if you do tekken 4
so thats when I said you know we were all set yesterday on this I brought in my gear so that you could try out kof 2000 today, so tekkenman leaves on this note well if you do kof prepair for a small tourny, at this time I said look we were set on this yesterday I already started posting at the forums so that we would have a nice crowed for it, around 6pm i left there I was pissed, and had to get to karate practice
(now theres a bad combanation if i ever had one but I was able to cool off threw the practice)
so the next 2 days go by and I return to the store, so have we decided, and they said yeah were going to do Tekken 4, so I said ok then you deal with the tourny yourselves, I'll throw my own tourny with my friends and not be here for yours, so now they are like why you gonna be like that, I said look I already did most of the work for you guys the flyers is on my comp finished except fot the date time and addresshell I have like 4 of them for you to check out, they said sorry, but you have been out voted for kof, then i said well fine then I'll do my own tourny and that will be that enjoy your tekken 4, btw I doubt you'll get many for it, cause the last 4 times I was at the MIT arcade(which is not open to the public) and goodtimes tekken 4 was empty, and Cvs2, Kof2001
soul caliber 2 had all the crowed, so now they are rethinkingthis and after a while goes buy
the group of us get together ok kof is out we'll do a tourny for it at a later date whatever, then the question comes up what about doa 3, I said what about it its an Xbox exclusive how well do you think it'll do, then they say well as it stands it'll be tekken 4, then he said well ok then I said well kof is a dead issue what about CvS2 at least that way we can have
a better chance of getting a good crowed, and thought its not kof it has SNK characters in it, besides the only real 3-d fighter out there worth while is SC2, so then the guy who voted doa says not a bad Idea, you get snk fans you get capcom fans, both arcade and home system people it works for me, I'll let you guys use my ps2, i said I do have a 3 versions that are out so I can supply the game. we have ps2 controllers here, so it all works out
(I'm still not happy about this though kof was set and now its a dead issue, however If some of you boston area guys want we can hook up at an arcade or something and we'll have our own little kof tourny)
I am sorry to every one who had hopes of a kof tourny I was so set on it myself.
