Pandora at Replay 2011 - Retro Gaming Expo - Let's meet up

[EvilDragon]

I also need to get the ticket and look for a hotel


Best would be a hotel not too far away

 

[milkshake]

my gf has been looking and said its quite hard to find one at a good price.

 

[Blue Protoman]

I wonder how many people here are going to stay in the same hotel.

 

[pmprog]

Which station should I get off in Blackpool?


Or does anyone want to pick me up at Manchester airport (maybe someone from that area is going there?)

I could probably pick you up from the airport if you want


Edit: I'll need to check what time I need to be there for the SSFIV tourney. If it'll give me enough time, there'll be no probs

 

[milkshake]

hmmm there is a ssf5 tourney? i might have to practice

I hope not, I'm still playing 4


Unfortunately, it's on the PS3, which has the worst pad going for streetfighter IMO... I've got a SF 15th Anniversary PS2 pad with USB adapter (which is actually nice to use), can anyone confirm these work? One of the guys at the event said there'll be spare pads, and a few sticks, but first come first served on those. I'm a bit more of a pad guy anyway

 

[Mr_Loon]

Right


Bought my flight to Manchester now.


Will arrive Saturday, 10:15am in Manchester and will fly back at 5:20pm on Sunday

Great news that you're coming along, the fact you're willing to come so far is very much appreciated.


If you can't get anyone to pick you up (being a non driver can't help you with that one) then there is a railway station at Manchester Airport, get a train from there to Manchester Piccadilly, change trains there and get a train from Piccadilly direct to Blackpool North.


UK Rail info


I was in Blackpool earlier this year and stayed here : the bluebell price was good, room was clean, breakfast was superb & the owners were really friendly.


You can get to the venue for replay using Blackpools most excellent tram system.

lol yeah i meant ssf4 what?? why ps3 version when xbox version is prob more easy to aquire, I only have the sf4 arcade stick and that wont work on ps3 version i would imagine.

 

[pmprog]

I know, I was just yanking your chain.

No idea. It's kinda annoying. I main as Cammy on the Xbox, but you basically can't play as her on pads because of the ridiculous moveset she has. I'll probably end up maining as Akuma or some other shoto (DeeJay is a possibility though)


Edit: If anybody wants to warm up. my XboxLive tag is MarqROFL.

ill send you an add now.

Hi Mark


We don't have confirmed times yet, but the closer you arrive to opening time


(10am) the better. Having said that, I can't see the SF4 tournament starting


before 11am, however.

ill send you an add now.

Yay!

If you've not started the jury service already, just claim you have 'spent' youth convictions no longer on your adult record and they'll probably drop you from the jury selection

 

[Wrath Of Khan]
