SoCal VSAV 100

It's been a long road, but we've finally arrived at SoCal's 100th VAMPIRE SAVIOR tournament! This Friday, September 30th we'll be at Game Realms in Burbank, CA to celebrate!

We're going all out with this event, I'll be providing some small prizes for Top 8 and there will be DONUTS! The tourney format will be similar to Japanese tournaments, as in round robin pools with the winner of each pool qualifying for a Top 8 double elimination bracket.

Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/ROTANIBOR

Event starts at 8pm, while the tournament starts at 9pm. The stream will go live just before 9pm PT / 11pm ET.

Venue fee is $5, while the tournament entry fee is FREE!

The tournament will be ran on UD-CPS2, arcade Vampire Savior, but we'll also have a couple Darkstalker Resurrection setups hooked up via CRT to play casuals on between pools.

If you plan to go and I haven't confirmed your attendance yet, please let me know you're going, as I'll be making the pools the day before. You can still sign up on site either way, it'll just make my job easier with a heads up.

In addition, there will also be the regular Skullgirls and Guilty Gear Accent Core +R tournaments that are typically ran along with Vampire Savior.

SoCal Vampire Savior 99 & 100

The SoCal Vampire Savior community is coming up on a milestone. After six years of Vampire Savior tournaments at a variety of venues, starting all the way back in late 2010, we've ran a total of 98 local tournaments. 100 is a big number, but first we must clear the 99th tournament.

This Friday, September 16, we'll be holding the 99th SoCal Vampire Savior tournament at Game Realms in Burbank, California. While I have bigger plans for the 100th tournament, including prizes (please don't expect much!), the 99th tournament will be simple. Very simple.

Single Match, Single Elimination.

I'm hoping for some quick and intense matches, and some big shake-ups with this format. We'll have to wait for the day itself to see how it goes though! This game in particular I think provides a certain experience with this format from what I've seen with Japanese events. I'm personally eager to throw everything into a single match where we walk a thin line between life and death!

Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/ROTANIBOR

For those coming to the event, it starts at 8pm PT.

The Stream will go live at about 8:30pm PT/11:30pm ET, and the tournament itself will start an hour after that at 9:30pm PT/12:30am ET.

This tournament will probably go FAST, I'm expecting it to take only an hour max, so you'll want to be on the stream watching when we start if you don't want to miss it! I will be attempting to stream every single match.

In addition, the regular Skullgirls and Guilty Gear AC+R tournaments that run alongside Vampire Savior have agreed to go along with my crazy idea and are running single match, single elimination tournaments as well. We'll be running them one after the other, in the order of VSAV > SG > GG+R.

Another big benefit of running this format is the extra time to run some serious casual sets afterwards in preparation for the 100th tournament happening two weeks later.

Record of Donations for UD-CPS2 (SUCCESS)

This is simply a record of the successful donation fund I ran and completed during 2014-2015. Thank you to all who donated, the Vampire Savior scene I feel has greatly benefited from your generosity!

================================================
The Donation Fund has officially started up to acquire two UD-CPS2, as well as two Vampire Savior boards to go along with them. After EVO it was clear that the scene had grown beyond my single UD-CPS2. Getting two more systems would allow us to run almost any tournament or event with ease.

For those who don't know, the UD-CPS2 is a consolized CPS2, the arcade system that Vampire Savior was released on. It allows us to play the arcade release of Vampire Savior in a modern format with USB XBOX 360 and PS3 controllers. They have minimal setup compared to a supergun and can be played on any TV. Here is an image from EVO2014 of my UD-CPS2 and the two loaners units: [http://i.imgur.com/rsOk9kl.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/rsOk9kl.jpg)

**Cost breakdown**
• $350 – UD-CPS2
• $350 – UD-CPS2
• ~~$125 – Vampire Savior CPS2 Arcade Board~~(DONATED)
• ~~$125 – Vampire Savior CPS2 Arcade Board~~(GOT FOR $100)

The amount to raise comes out to be ~~**$950**~~ **$825**, not including shipping costs.

**Contributions**
• $512 – Anonymous
• VSAV CPS2 B-Board – Mr. Igloo
• $80 – My EVO 2014 Second Place Winnings
• $75 – djstorm
• $50 – Krakhan
• $34.50 – Infy
• $20 – Mekei
• $15 – ChooseAGoose
• $13.37 – KFL
• $10 – northdash
• $10 - Sinjihn
• $10 – Amaxing
• $5 – Devita
• $5 – Raven_257
• $3 – Ewickify

**$842.87** has been currently raised, minus whatever Paypal has taken out.

I'm also considering running GGPO tournaments for high contributors for a game of their choosing. I haven't set a price for this yet, but it is potentially a bit of work on my end if I don't already know the game since I'd need to learn it first. Let me know if you're interested!

That's it for now, thanks for reading! If there are any questions or concerns just ask!

Vampire Savior & Salty at Game Realms in Burbank, California - Every Other Friday at 8pm PST!

It's been a long five months since we left TGL, but we finally have a new venue for Vampire Savior here in Southern California! This Friday we'll be meeting at Game Realms in Burbank, with a bi-weekly schedule (every 2 weeks).

Location: Game Realms
Address: 137 N. Victory Blvd, Burbank, CA, 91502
Website: http://gamerealmsstore.tumblr.com/

Date: Friday, September 16th, 2016
Time: Sign ups start at 8pm. VSAV tournament will start at 9pm.
(I'll show up with the VSAV boards at 7:30~ pm)

Venue Fee: $5
Tournament Entry Fee: FREE

Streams
-Vampire Savior: http://www.twitch.tv/ROTANIBOR
--Will go live with VSAV around 8:30pm PDT / 11:30pm EDT
-Skullgirls & GGAC+R: http://www.twitch.tv/game_realms

--Background--


Once again we'll be with the wonderful SoCal Skullgirls community, meaning there will be Skullgirls and Guilty Gear +R tournaments in addition to Vampire Savior. In the future I'll be probably running other games as well, but I'll be focusing on VSAV until we get settled in.

This location seems perfect for us, we (the VSAV and SG communities) were admittedly picky about where to go next which was partially the reason for the long delay, but Game Realms seems to do everything right! The regulars of our group are very excited, and newcomers are always welcome to join in.

If you're a newcomer, send me a tweet that you'll be coming so I know to expect you. It's not required, but I'll make sure you'll have a spot in the bracket at least if you do. Likewise, if you're a regular and are potentially going to be late, let me know as well. All are welcome!
