Find that hard to believe.... considering international tourneys like MLG/EVO dont pay out so much for its games... and 10k$ for Tekken 6? .. thats like the highest pay out for tekken ever in the world.... and what is this 200$ per hour for SF4 ???... And wtf?
SF4? ... y not SSF4 AE?...

-Dress as a Gaming/Anime character and win prizes (COSPLAY).

Sunny will definitely be there , cosplaying as Megaman

This is true .... beyond a certain amount you need some licence from the publishers ...

[darkniks]

^^ was wondering the same thing, well since they r planning on giving high prizes to games like Poker, & adding all backward 2-3yr old fighting games

I'm dropping the idea, its too far from my place

heck they have KOF but its not in tournament section, its pay to play probably its XII since XIII never came out here, I'm surprised to see no 1 wants to play new fighters especially SFxT & no luv for umvc3 n sc5.

lol at those guys saying new games shouldn't have tourney on your comment.

[darkniks]

is this tournament duration for 1 whole day or we have to keep coming back for 2 more days?

I think I might wanna go for Tekken6, but even if I make it where will I stay if it will be a 3day tourney

" it would be plessure for us to have you in our office for lunch tomm. Im sure we ll prove our authenticity there itself. The launch of this event was in le meridian, i hope tht was nt fake. All the top news print ads, I guess those r not fake too. And also do one thing visit the venue ull surely like it. Do ask smth bout us. What diff between india and the world is tht, wen n event take place in uk, us or anywhere in d world, their citizens support dem. But in a country like india, ppl cant see a good thing happening. U all through ur life wanted navi, m5, sk fnatic to play in front of u. but if smone comes frm nowhere and make tht dream come true, you guys start questioning him. I want all of you ppl to comment on it and let Rahul kno wat you think about it."

Any reason for the drama? Last I checked none of the distys or hardware guys both in PC or console were in on this. Credibility -5.
