Locked in. Gotta let my nail grow in now. Might be rocking a different look this year.

Last night @allamerican1569 and I hosted the two best players at Sega Genesis in the world for NHL94, Kingraph and Angryjay93, along with MSG Networks, and our tournament announcer Arda Ocal on The Retro Sports Gamer podcast.

@sonofpatbeach win or lose, plenty of shoulder shimmys on JJ's should be involved.

Their setup goes a bit beyond that. They have the 360 omni treadmills, and their setups are linked for multiplayer with the other stations. If an event wants to dedicate the space, and you don't mind setting it up, I think it's a great idea. For some reason I get the feeling that at a tecmo event, people would be constantly getting their sack punched while blinded by the headsets, especially if their name is Flo.

You don't say! Make it an awesome event bud!

I know this is a Tecmo forum, but other NHL94 tournaments have been posted here, including ones hosted by our brother organization King of 94. The evening before(Feb 23rd) there will be plenty of other retro gaming activity, including a certain football game some of you might be familiar with ;). More on that after another WI tournament takes place this month. February 24th at 10AM in Green Bay WI at the Edge VR Arcade, the world's greatest NHL94 players will compete for retro themed prizes, cash, and the right to hold Lord Manly's Cup! Links with all important details available below. Both SNES and Genesis bracket entry is included with your $30 entry. The event is family friendly. Under 18 participants are $10 with a paid adult entry. All entries include a $20 voucher to be used on the virtual reality arcade equipment. The tournament details can be viewed here: http://forum.nhl94.com/index.php?/topic/18180-king-of-94-wi-presents-a-fleury-of-goals-an-nhl94-tournament-for-snes-and-genesis/& Individuals may sign up here : www.tinyurl.com/fleury2018 Spots are limited, and we are already near capacity, so don't wait to sign up! At this time the following states are represented, IL, MO, MN, NY, NJ, NV, CA,CT, and WI. We also have players from Canada registered. Defending King of 94 champion Angryjay93, and multiple world record holder Kingraph will be present at this tournament. Arda Ocal, formerly of the WWE, and current MSG Networks host will be our live stream announcer and event MC. We will also have a live organist, NEW Piano Guy's own, Dan Rafferty! Please enjoy our promotional video, and we'd appreciate any help sharing it out on social media.

A lot has already been said on the subject. Despite all the reactions and opinions, not every tournament organizer out there is going to fall in line with hopes of avoiding the dates of other events. I think it's ultimately up to the individual organizers out there to communicate with other regional organizers, and see if they are agreeable to a compromise on timing of events. War Machine contacted me before Thunderdome as I was looking to do another online tournament in the fall, and after talking with him, it made sense to hold off, so that's exactly what I did. His communication was perfect, and an example of thoughtful and effective negotiation of the issue. Ultimately, it's up to each organizer to decide how they want to do things. Hopefully folks stay diplomatic along the way.

When you are there, you can ask him to reboot his router the night before, which will probably help things a bit as well. It wasn't feasible to run a wire or anything to his router based on its actual location if memory serves. I hope it all holds up. Way to do your homework buddy!

Just a friendly heads up related to streaming from last year, for some reason, the night before the Internet held up when we did the casual games streams/testing, but once the place filled up day of the tournament, it got worse. I'm guessing a lot of Tyler's(bar owner) patrons have the wifi password. Your mileage may vary of course, but I had to use a very low bit rate, and the day of the tournament last year, it wasn't stable enough most of the day. If you have a dedicated alternative method for Internet like a 4G LTE jetpack, that might be a more stable option. You could also just record locally, then upload later. Otherwise, you'll end up with a bunch of smaller video files with gaps in between. Best of luck everyone!

Good Lord I love your smack talk

Thanks for the update, always fun to mix it up from a source that has a team behind it.

Posts this immediately underneath the post stating that Gats is probably coming. Play online more, you will get a lot better. You have 4 + months.

this ^^ Also, I would be interested in contributing to future projects, specifically in the play stat evaluation/allocation area of things.

I would have to say it depends on the end goal of the organizer. If the goal is to be a destination annual tournament that draws lots of travelers and top talent(Tundra Bowl, Midwest Tecmo, Kumite, etc), then communication with other organizers is important to try and not dilute the talent pool, especially if you are in the same state as another notable tournament. If your objective is to get some buddies together, and open it to the public to get a better player base/payout, I'm not in the opinion that this hurts anyone. In fact, it probably helps recruit more players into online play, and eventual larger local tournament play. While it does help to avoid other overlapping tournaments in your area, you'd be surprised how many people still break out this game with buddies, and have no idea this site or community even exists, or that there is a serious tournament in their state. More exposure increases the likelihood they get connected to us. We are also seeing more and more events tied to larger gaming events. The Dallas tournament, Millard's Mayem, the Long Island Gaming Expo, were all tied to larger gaming events, and sometimes you are at the mercy of such things. Mort Nate and Rico coming to our casual GBLAN 3rdbeebe tournament was mainly a warm up to the bigger fish, mainly Cleveland and Millard's Mayhem. I knew full well my event wouldn't deter anyone from attending something grander. Go Tecmo!

Elite 8 bracket game between @mort1237 and @hankthetank

Here's the 1st round stream game.

$100 this is the Megaman X guy that visits my twitch channel, argument is almost verbatim that he types in chat. I don't know if he's ever played a human in this game. Shitbirds are not the worst. Jacob Green and Glascow can get it done on defense, and their offense weapons while a bit slow, can get the job done at that tier. Typically you are seeing them play the Packers, Browns, or Patriots. JJ mastery is a must if you play with this team. Colts are the worst, despite some offensive weapons, they just don't get the job done on defense, unless your name is Matt DeGeorge, then they are on another level.

Pictures from the event are posted near the top of the event posting. Will get to working on uploading bracket games to Youtube this weekend. Good luck to @mort1237 as he rides the waves of momentum into Tecmo Cleveland this weekend. Also, best of luck to @davefmurray as he expands the ever growing Tecmo universe into Dallas this weekend!

We are adding to the mediocrity by involving some of these guys. Word on the street is that they suck at Tecmo. Mort Darthrockman Rico Nate from Tundra Bowl Hank the Tank And this "Space Waster" aka Trojan

Started delivering equipment to the venue last night.

Update, between FB and non FB RSVPs, we are sitting at about 20 players right now, so it's looking like group play, then single elim bracket. There is of course free play available after the 1st round of bracket play. There will be a gift certificate from the venue given to the player with the most passing yards from QB Bills. Take a picture with your opponent on the screen and post on twitter. #3rdbeebe #tecmosuperbowl #gblan Bonus "Internet points" if your leading receiver is Don Beebe. As of the time of this post, the tournament is only 9 days away, and we already have players traveling from a couple of hours away. Don't miss out on your chance on free pizza, cheap beverages, and lots of tecmo!

Tecmo names don't appear to be in the running, however there may be some NHL94 love in there somewhere.

Pizza sponsor confirmed! Guaranteed Rate will be buying pizzas for us! Cheap beer, free pizza, and cheap tecmo!
