[09] Warrior
Hello. Welcome to the innagural Artillery Productions proudly presents an SC4 PSN ONLINE TOURNY. AP SC4 PSN OT. or as i like to call it - aps c4 p snot. I will be going by the nickname "grenades" since "tee underscore tee" doesn't fit well into artillery. I would like to invite those who enjoy competing in Soul Calibur 4 and can accept, as well as overcome, lag issues. Also, because of lag issues, I ask that entrants be in or close to Southern California. The more "5" bar connections, the better.

If you or someone you know have always wanted to test their Soul Calibur skills, this is definately it. If you wanna add that, "I win when it matters." title, here's your chance.

LOOKING FOR "5" BAR CONNECTIONS IN SO CAL:

if you are an active so cal online player with a "5" bar connection, frequently have a "5" bar connection against online people, or have friends that like to play this game that have a "5" bar connection, please get the word out and let them know this tourny is in 2 weeks and to check the link out. thanks.
 
good side to this, shows about how much interest is in socal online sc4 competition.

i know there's national interest, but scheduling and lag issues always will be more of a factor.

if turn out is 11 or less people come Wednesday, August 12th, will send back via paypal 100% refund by Friday, August 14th.
 
I'm also on XBL, otherwise I'd enter in a heartbeat. Maybe there should be a mini offline gathering using someone's PS3 for the online tourney? XD
 
would be sweet. definately possible.

"- if more than one entrant shares the same psn name, please specify in 'email to recipient, message'."
"- if you are sending a payment for more than one entrant, please include all additional info in 'email to recipient, message'."

if this turnout is smaller than 11, definately going to expand the next tourny demographic - norcal, ariz, nevada.
 
Face, $10 for an online tourny is a bit much, $5 would be at least a bit more reasonable...
 
true.

2 things if this doesn't have a great turnout:

1. little larger demographic
and/or
2. same demographic, smaller entry, just to get things started. ex: $1 or $5 entry

reason i want to do the $10 entry, and justified it with "lunch + gas money," is it makes the payout worthwhile. $10 is less than you'd be spending on driving to get lunch with a friend. and what you get in return, a worthwhile competitive experience, double elimination, the convenience and speed of everyone having ps3s and playing from their homes or what not, etc....

so all in all, a $5 entry fee would be a bit more price conscious, but, i would like to have the prize worthwhile.

hows it goin d.c.97 (:
 
alright. well. interested psn players here in socal region for an online tourny definitely isn't there.

no worries.

cancelled.
