[Tournament] [25-27/02/11] World Game Cup 2011, Cannes - France

[cieslak]

Okej, brzmi nice. Ktoś by się pisał na GG? Bell? Pro8e? Myślę, że Koji by z chęcią pojechał. Szkoda, że Syf na Klocka, ale coś by się wymyśliło. A kto by się pisał jeszcze na Syfa prócz Marka?

Okey, sounds great for me. I really like GuiltyGear series and I'm happy that I can play with the best Euro players one more time. Your scene of GG is really great... for example: Aerisu, Camo, Mitsurugi, Coungster, Joe Higashi, really good players. But could you tell me something... Did others players, from Sweden, German, Spain etc., say that they wanna come too? I hope they want, because just like everyone knows, we have really good players in Euro. And I have one more question.... Maybe you have the list of players who wanna come? Okey, enough for now.

The Future is Now (or something like that...)

Big News from TKO our Arcade Steward (and proud owner of the VS Dojo, a parisian game center):

"The VS Dojo is proud to announce it's first OCCIDENTAL Exclusivity!!!!!!

(Yes, you guessed it, it's even bigger news than European bragging rights! lol)

KOF 13 Version 1.1 is coming. No more bugs or dirty infinites.

And what's more, I can say for certain that it will be the next KOF at the Tougeki.

All that for the crazy price of €50cents/credit (at the VS Dojo Arcade Center, it will be free at the WGC)

Training Time: 7mn (Again VS Dojo rules, It probably will be a bit shorter due to the obvious line...)

Available right now, everyday, on an HD cabinet at the VS Dojo! Go for it!

PS:
For those of you who can't make it during the week, be advised that the
game will also be available every weekend at our colleagues arcade: The Mythik, with
freeplay settings!"

Original announcement (in French) available here: http://console-league.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=497&t=10588

Yep you guessed it, it means "Better Competition" for the KOF13 tourney ^^.

And for those of you who can't wait for the WGC, TKO & the Versus Dojo are throwing a first tourney in the mix:

@cieslak: I really couldn't say, community management isn't my job.
Please ask asenka in the forums or contact the organization for more details: worldgamecup@gmail.com

KOF 13 Version 1.1 is coming. No more bugs or dirty infinites.

Sadly, these bugs and infinites were nothing compared to them dropkicks ;]

Btw. why does the banner on the main page say the event will be in March 2011? ;p

[kurama_tengu]

The banner error on the worldgamecup.com website is a sad mistake of our webmaster (which still isn't fixed...).
I already apologized profusely on both Facebook and Twitter for this: the dates haven't changed, we're sorry if it gave anyone a start. Please check the individual game sections for information, they are fine!

The registrations are coming really soon by the way ^^.

We've got Extra Huge News for this third news release!

You might have noticed we're distilling the information more slowly this year, but it's just because a little bit of anticipation builds the HYPE more effectively. We've got a lot more extra goodies hidden all around the place, but for now, here's a big 6 part announcement:


1/ The Casual Play Area will be built around 8 to 16 screens. It will be co-run by the SWGA and Games Culture Associations. There, you'll be able to play all the games in competition in the Console Tournaments & some of the games played in the Arcade Tournaments (if a XBOX 360 version exists at the time of the event, like KOF2002 UM, for instance). But you will also find a few neat surprises in the consoles hard drives like MOTW or SSF2 HD REMIX (and more...).
Casual tournaments will be organized throughout the day. These Casual (free) tournaments will spice up your days.

Please don't hesitate to come & visit the Casual Area!

Expect more details with the next website update!

We'd like to thank the SWGA and Games Culture Associations for their support on this year's edition.

2/ basgrospoing.fr, the famous fighting games news website will be our partner for the WGC2011. Thanks to them, you'll have access to a continuous flow of fresh news (results, reports, etc.).
What's more, the BGP Team will hug the mike on the stream, spilling a moist flow of fresh editorial nuggets and atmospheric comments, LIVE from the WGC grounds.
And don't forget, the Stream will run non-stop during the three days of competition thanks to the fine people of the GNOUZ CORP!

3/ Marvel vs Capcom 3 will be an official tournament game at the World Game Cup 2011*

The competition will take place on Saturday February 26. It will be a Solo tourney.

It will be the first big European tournament for the game. And as MvC3 won't have been out for long, the whole lot of you will have a chance to win it ^^.
 
So please don't hesitate to register: It's Marvel 3 Baby!

As expected, this will cause some minor changes to the schedule, which will be announced soon. Don't panic, it won't be that different and no tournament will be canceled.

The website will be updated within two weeks with all the details of this new tournament.


4/ The KOF XIII tournament is indeed confirmed. The cabinet will be available in the Arcade Area. It will be the version B (1.1) of the game.

Here's a quote by TKO of the Versus Dojo to build up the HYPE:

“Ladies & Gentlemen,


The VS Dojo is proud to announce it's first OCCIDENTAL Exclusivity!!!!!!
Yes, you guessed it, it's even bigger news than European bragging rights!

KOF 13 Version 1.1 is COMING

No more bugs or dirty infinites.
And what's more, I can say for certain that it will be the next KOF at the Tougeki.”

Available everyday, on an HD cabinet, at the WGC thanks to the VS Dojo!

Go for it!

5/ A huge, HUGE announcement is coming for a certain Capcom game. Stay tuned, it's for late December, and you'll appreciate it for sure! (It's our Christmas present ^^)

6/ Online registration will open in about 10 days, but Online payment won't be operational until early December. (We're gonna rush it!)
In the meantime, please visit our Website & our Facebook and Twitter pages

Here you go, updates coming soon... Stay Tuned!

Kontrolery do PS3 działają na PC, ale nie na X360. Te na konsolę Microsoftu z kolei nie działają ani na PS3 ani na PC. Microsoft bardzo dba o to, żeby do jego konsol podłączano markowy - a zarazem droższy - sprzęt.
Inna sprawa, że przecież pady do PS3 też są pod USB, więc Twoje rozumowanie stick != pad jest bez sensu

Nieprawda, bo na własne oczy widziałem w Londynie jak pierwszy przeciwnik Gajdy w SE podłączył pada od Xboxa do PS3 za pomocą jakiejś kosmicznej przejściówki. Swoją drogą, gdyby ktoś mi to opowiadał nie uwierzyłbym, Adasia też zamurowało.

[Gargooletz]

Nieprawda #2 - pady x360 działają po pc (do bezprzewodowych mamy dodatkowy receiver). Podobnie sticki pod xboxa śmigają na piecu.

Jeśli chodzi o reżim m$ to lepszym przykładem jest, że Games for Windows obsługują tylko kilka licencjonowanych przez ms kontrolerów i żeby podłączyć jakiegoś noname'a trzeba się pobawić w lekkie hakowanie xP

Don't forget about the Arcade Area tournaments:

Hello everyone,

I am TKO, one of the managers of VS Dojo, one of Paris arcade centers (http://www.versusdojo.com).

As you probably know already, in a little over a month there will be the 2011 edition of the WGC (http://www.worldgamecup.com).

6 awesome tournaments will take place:

The best French players will attend, and we hope that other European players & Maghreb players will be there to step up to the challenge.

All the registered players for tournaments of the arcade area will have access to casuals/freeplay on
all the cabs during the 3 days of the World Game Cup.

Victory awaits you warriors...
