lofo Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Welcome to the new Ottawa thread, now with an active OP! (old thread is here: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/index.php?/forums/topic/5976-ottawa-why-have-fundamentals-when-you-have-gimmicks/ ) We usually talk on Discord, so if you're new to the scene, PM me, SorAnoTenshi or dinosaurzez to get in. Local meetups at Algonquin! Algonquin Competitive Gaming Club (Open to Non-Students!) Currently Open Thursdays Hours 5:00PM until Midnight and Beyond Location Algonquin College e206b of the Student Commons ("E" or "Student Association" building), 2nd Floor above the Starbucks. More meetups regularly at various peoples' houses, ask by PM or on Discord for more details.
lofo Posted August 9, 2015 Author Posted August 9, 2015 Currently we mostly play GG Xrd, though we play other games sometimes too. Lately we've been running weekly tournaments at Algonquin ("Gonq") so hopefully we can upload some footage of that and tournament results ITT soon. We're working on maybe having more weekly meetups at the local gaming bar, we'll see how that pans out. I'll add it to the OP if it happens.
LiveWireX Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 (edited) RIP old thread, lol. Good to get a new one going though. And huh, I didn't know there was a Skype group chat. I'll have to see about getting an invite to that sometime. Edit: Also, the actual stream link needs editing. It inks to http://www.twitch.tv/TeamYruiGG instead of http://www.twitch.tv/TeamYuriGG.

LiveWireX Posted August 14, 2015 Posted August 14, 2015 Good shit last night guys. Man, still got way more to figure out on this game than I'd hoped, lol.
lofo Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks for coming out, Livewire. Good to see you again.
LiveWireX Posted August 15, 2015 Posted August 15, 2015 Yeah, it was good to see everyone. Lol, I never realized how much physical effort I put into inputs before someone pointed out I almost elbowed someone from my stick sliding around, so hey. Also, with regards to Canada Cup, I think the registration fee might go up soon to anyone going that hasn't registered.But damn, that Jam reveal for Revelator.
dinosaurzez Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Anyone know what became of that footage Yuri recorded last week? I'm curious.Also, I guess this is my first time actually posting on this thread; I'm the newish Millia guy who was on team colonoscopy bouquet with Krackatoa some weeks back.
LiveWireX Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Oh yeah, I was actually kind of curious on that, myself.
lofo Posted August 19, 2015 Author Posted August 19, 2015 Welcome to the thread, Dinosaurzez.Ian said he wanted to edit the footage a bit to remove dead air and to split it up into different videos since it's hours of footage. He hasn't had time yet, though. Hopefully that will happen soon and it will go up on a youtube channel dedicated to this sort of thing. Someone will post the link to it in this thread when it's ready, I'm sure.Sorry for the wait.
Yurisan Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Sorry for not uploading the footage yet >_<. I had a kinda busy week. In future, the footage will be uploaded the Friday so that people can learn from their videos for the next week. This first bit is going to be a bit backlogged though. Here are the results: http://challonge.com/TeamYuriGG2v2 If anyone wants to post the other results we can do that as well, I'm not sure which challonge they are on. It would be neat to compile this stuff.Anyway, if people have ideas for events they want to run this week, feedback would be appreciated. I think some people don't want to do random 2v2s every week. We could go back to singles, but it would be cool to think of some new formats.
lofo Posted August 20, 2015 Author Posted August 20, 2015 The tournament 2 weeks ago is on dag's challonge account I think. I don't know how to look it up but maybe he can find it or something.I'm up for singles unless we can come up with something cooler.
Dagwood Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 Here they are: Singles: http://challonge.com/gonqxrdd Team Battles: http://challonge.com/iswto582
LiveWireX Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I probably shouldn't ask since the answer's probably obvious but...I got BBCPX a bit ago and have been playing and trying to adjust to some Noel changes (j.D = airbrake, j.2C>j.4D, dash cancel changes). And well...since I never bought Kokonoe before, seeing what all the fuss was about from people playing her since I only knew her as a matchup opponent.
Essay Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I probably shouldn't ask since the answer's probably obvious but...I got BBCPX a bit ago and have been playing and trying to adjust to some Noel changes (j.D = airbrake, j.2C>j.4D, dash cancel changes). And well...since I never bought Kokonoe before, seeing what all the fuss was about from people playing her since I only knew her as a matchup opponent.I actually don't think that we ever had a Kokonoe in Ottawa. Afro thought about maining her, but I don't think he stuck with the game.Sent from my D6603 using Tapatalk
LiveWireX Posted August 21, 2015 Posted August 21, 2015 You're probably right that we didn't, actually. I have a group of people on PSN that I play a bunch with, so them and a bunch of other people would always go on about her.
lofo Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) From 2 weeks ago:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDZGxmVXI7E pre-tournament casualshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s40sdjQlxMc tournament footageedit - recording from my win streak on the king of the hill station: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPux5_IoSjsedit - Okay, everything should be labeled in the comments now. Sorry if I got anyone's handle wrong. The first casual set cuts out in the middle on a match so I think there was an error with it. Hopefully that will get fixed.If it gets reuploaded, here's the current labeling so I don't lose it0:35 JackDRipr (EL) vs Alec (CH)8:02 JackDRipr (PO) vs Sora (MI)16:01 LiveWire (SI) vs Sora (MI)22:08 JackDRipr (PO) vs Sora (MI)32:15 JackDRipr (EL) vs LiveWire (SI) Edited August 28, 2015 by lofo
LiveWireX Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Nice, thanks for the uploading, labeling and all that. Much appreciated.
dorkstorm Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 2 months to go, so the question must be asked...When's Gonq Battles?
SorAnoTenshi Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Oh hey cool, we have a thread :3I just made an account, so lost here lol
Clavier Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Out of curiosity, are the Thursday Gonq meetups restricted to GG/SF/Smash? I'm curious as to whether or not any BB in played on the average day.
LiveWireX Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 It's been a couple weeks since I was there, but other than the Smash room, last I saw the main room had SF, Tekken, GG, and like 2 or 3 people playing Marvel and Persona. I haven't seen Blazblue being played there for a while, which was kind of a downer since I've been hoping to get some offline practice before Canada Cup.Of course, I still have no idea what's going on for transportation to Canada Cup and if people are going Thursday evening or early Friday morning but yeah...
Clavier Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Ah, I see. That sucks, I was trying to do the same. From what I can tell, there won't be a BB side-tourney at SGB2 either, though this is probably just a matter of someone stepping up and trying to corral entrants/setups for it. Thanks for the information all the same, though.
