Greetings,

My name is Ross, I am a long standing fighting game player, and a huge fan of competitive gaming in general.

This year, with the help of some good friends and some generous companies, we will be hosting Aberdeen's first competitive fighting game/video game tournament sometime in late 2009!

This post represents some early research into what you would be willing to pay, play and contribute to this event.

The basics, this will be a non profit event, with all profits going toward MacMillan Cancer Relief, we would like to attract as many players as possible, whilst retaining the most serious competitive atmosphere.

The confirmed games:

Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix : The result of 14 years balancing, the most balanced competitive 1v1 game out there.

Street Fighter 4: The most recent addition to the popular Capcom franchise, easy inputs and a throwback to the good old days make this game a no brainer.

What else do you want to play? Fifa? Pro Evo? Halo? Please reply!

What would you pay for entry to such an event, knowing all proceeds would go to charity?
Would £10 for ALL games be too much? Considering there would likely be excellent prizes for each game thanks to our sponsors.

As I earlier stated, this is an early research asking YOU what YOU would want from a local games tourney?

For a more immediate response, contact iwishiwasbornanorc at hotmail.co.uk OR C0rbul0 @ xboxlive. (add me if you want owned )

Any input or feedback would be most appreciated!

Let's put Scotland on the 1v1 fighting map, and have a go at cancer whilst we're at it!

There is a website confirming all these details, plus every game we plan to follow coming very soon, please keep an eye open!

Many thanks

£5 for all games maybe?
i hosted an CoD4 comp at my school for charity at a lunch time once, didn't have enough time in the hour for everyone who showed up to play!

Sounds interesting. £10 isn't an issue since it's all for a good cause. As for other games to play, how about Halo 3, one of the Call of Duty games, Fifa 09 and maybe something retro like Snes Mario Kart, as to attract a wider variety of people.

[-matthEw-]

Good idea. I'd like to see Sensible World of Soccer there if indeed there is going to be some retro games.

[DigitalxVoodoo]

street fighter definetly, bomber man, mario kart, and you cant go wrong with halo 3 and CoD, also possibly look in to that boxing game on the Wii as it is just comical to see people swinging there arms in desperation haha

[The Subtle Arts]

Even strategy games regarding the 1 vs 1 aspect, Halo Wars, C & C or 2 vs 2 Free for all variations. Only thing is they take longer than other games.

[Teabags]

I'd like to see a team game of Team Fortress 2, but that might be wishful thinking.

Also, just for sheer battleness, Guitar Hero?

[Skull Commander]

Guitar Hero is a good suggestion. A score attack competition perhaps on set songs?

I think each player picks a song then they compete for a score. Then a random song also.

[The Kernel Loaf]

Team muthafucking Fortress 2 or gtfo

Guilty Gear XX, Smash Bros. or Marvel vs Capcom 2 would also be swell.

And how could I forget Street Fighter II Rainbow Edition!
