USA [Feb 17, 2018] The Final Xanadu Monthly - Lock-In! (Arbutus, MD)

Come out for the swan song of Xanadu Games!

Xanadu shutters its doors at the end of February and they're throwing a going-away party. This is the end of a glorious run. This is the most enduring venue for Skullgirls on the east coast. So come out, pay your respects, and get those SG sets in.

(There may be an announcement regarding the status of the managers' plans at the event, so let's all be optimistic about what the future holds.)

This event is a lock-in! That means doors open around 1:00 PM and the venue will be open until 5:00 AM the following morning. There may be food options on site. I'll try to keep you updated.

Venue fee is $15 at the front desk.

SKULLGIRLS TOURNAMENT RULES
Tournament setups on PS4 (Feel free to bring PC or PS3 setups for casuals.)
Money:
$5 entry fee IN EXACT CHANGE
If double-elimination, I will approximate a 60/30/10 prize split for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on the denominations of cash available.
In case of round robin, 2nd place gets their $5 back and 1st place gets the rest.
Start Time:
Sign-ups start at 7:00 PM. Tournament will start at 7:30 PM.
If you are running a little late and want to be in the tourney, I am willing to delay the start time a little. Tweet me @ElkyDori, message me on Facebook, or DM me here on Skullheart (I am least likely to see this one).
Format:
Double Elimination or Round Robin, depending on number of entries
All matches will be 3/5.

Other games at the Xanadu monthly...

Typically featured tournament games at Xanadu include:
Dragon Ball FighterZ
Guilty Gear Xrd
Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite
Tekken 7
The King of Fighters XIV
Street Fighter V
BlazBlue

These games usually have a $10 entry fee.

CvS2, 3rd Strike, and Neo Geo setups are common too. If there's a game you want to play, bring a setup if you can. I've made friends at Xanadu by setting up a fighting game that I didn't really think anyone wanted to play with me.

 

I'll definitely try to make this one. I haven't been up there since...October? I missed the one for November (why did they switch it to Friday at the last minute) and apparently we're not having one for December.

Also, I really haven't been keeping up with Skullgirls, forgive me!

 

It's cool, hopefully one of us (maybe me?) will dole out punishment accordingly.

 

Haven't played offline in over a month, so I'm heading to Xan tonight. I'll be there with a rig around 7:30.

If you want in, then come on out.

 

Hey, I'm extremely new to the tourney scene but hoping to start coming to learn more than win =/
In any case, other than SG do you know if there will be Melee or any kind of Smash? My friends want no business playing Fighters but do have an interest in Smash, so I might be able to get them to tag along if there is, since I thought Xanadu had a Smash weekly.

 

Yes they do weekly smash, it's listed on the site http://www.xanadu-games.com/schedule.php.

 

Sorry if I was confusing, I meant will they have Smash at the Monthly?

 

At the moment I'm planning on it, but I might be driving down alone, hah.

 

If people want, I may be able to transport some of you there, especially if you can reach the metro. Let me know so I can coordinate rides.

 

Looking at my work schedule, I can totally make this. See you guys there!

 

My parents deemed this area around Baltimore to be too dangerous for me to drive to and be around.
I don't even know but I can't argue it.

 

It's outside Baltimore, tell them not to worry. I've been going to the place for a year now and have had no incident. Of course, I am just a stranger on the internet with no real pull.

 

Yeah they knew it was outside Baltimore from the beginning, they have absolutely no trust in places or people.
I'm extremely upset but, again, nothing I can really do. Just hope something changes tomorrow or so.

 

The problem isn't with Xanadu itself, it's with getting there. My parents think something will happen to me when I'm stuck at a red light or get lost even with a GPS ect.
They're just thinking about the worst that can happen in all aspects.

 

You're an SG player at Xan. That makes you practically invisible anyway.

 

Usual time of about 7-8 but come earlier for casuals?

 

Alright, I can probably make it to this one

 

you live in MD!!?

 

I can't make this one I will train harder for the next one.

 

@matlokholmes is the name you are thinking of.

 

Early start time knocks me out. Rep hard, y'all.

 

Cool, I'll enter this time! (I forgot last time because I was also in tournaments for Guilty Gear and BlazBlue)

Hopefully XBLA will receive the Encore update by that time so I can get in some serious practice.

 

The early start time might make it hard for me to make it too, but I'll do what I can to be there.

 

requested off the 8th

 

Alright, got an early shift that Saturday, so I'm definitely in. See you guys there!

 

Dude, do you seriously go to Maryland every month?

I respect that, that's 500 miles for me.
