mikenapalm Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 Date:Saturday, October 23rd Time:Starting at 5pm Location:Next Level Videogames - Next Level VIDEOGAMES - www.nlvideogames.com 1031 Little Gloucester Rd Blackwood, NJ 08012 Phone:856-401-0011 Entry Fee:$3 for the venue fee Also posted at SRK Hey guys, some friends and I are hosting our first Body Shop Saturday this Saturday at Next Level Videogames in Blackwood, NJ. We are starting out with a night dedicated to casuals, but we would like to make this a dedicated spot to hang out, press buttons, and help the South Jersey/ Philly/ SE PA/ DE Fighting Game community grow in both player base and skill level. We are also looking at running tournaments in the future. There will be several SSFIV set ups, and a BBCS set up both on running on PS3, we have plenty of ps3 arcade sticks and pads, but it doesnt hurt to bring your own. There will also be a Neo-Geo cab with Garou running on free play all night. Don't like playing SF or BB? Dont sweat it. We're operating out of a game store so we have the resources(sans arcade sticks for non-ps3 consoles) to play what you want. Speak up in here so we can make sure we have what you want to play for the event. The store is located in Blackwood, NJ. Its about a 20-30 minute drive from Philly and surrounding areas, about a 35-50 minute drive from Atlantic City, surrounding shore points and Delaware, and about an hour and change drive from most of Central Jersey. Parking is free and theres plenty of it. For anyone who wants to take the train, the Atlantic city line and the Patco line both stop at Lindenwold station(for those coming from the north the river line out of Trenton station will connect you to the Broadway Patco to get to Lindenwold), I can pick you up/drop you off there if you notify me ahead of time/exchange numbers.
Lord Knight Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 SB:R is this weekend. This is next weekend isn't it?
DoomieJ Posted October 13, 2010 Posted October 13, 2010 This should be makeable by me, hopefully, if im not all burnt out from SBR and SBR stars the 15th, Youre good mike.
mikenapalm Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 oh duh. i should really buy a calendar. well ill fix that up lol. lk if you want to come out i'll pick you up and stuff.
mikenapalm Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 Also, Doomie I'll make sure a GG set up is there for you. You wanna run me through some GG matchups so im not ultra free when we hit nyc?
ZONG_one Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 You can play a thousand games of GG and be no better at it than you were when you started. Hopefully you get to play like ten thousand before nyc.. you might've improved a little by that point.
DoomieJ Posted October 14, 2010 Posted October 14, 2010 Mike, we can try. Im only decently proficient with TE and KY though. Maybe i can teach you a few certain things abt vs. anji, faust, johnny, because ive played vs them so much. As well as SL ED PO. everything else im terrible against. even jam. Cause alan is horrid.
mikenapalm Posted October 14, 2010 Author Posted October 14, 2010 hell even if you can just share some of the matchup exp you have and just show me know some of the characters options/ things i should look out for and such. it would be a start. i have literally no GG exp aside from mashing H with Ky against the computer. im looking to fix that though.
hardworkgenius Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I should be able to make that. Its like 30 mins away from me. I will admit that I have been playing other games that are not fighting games alot lately. I need to be ready for NEC!!!
Casshern Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 if I come on saturday count me in for GG, I'd love to play and get myself unrusty. I'll see if I can come up with some PS2 sticks to donate to the store if I come across any on eBay or whatnot so we can get a good feel for playing GG on stick. I played AC on Wii with that fight stick from hori, but that thing is a light ass POS so it really doesn't bode well for real heavy play. Do we also have MBAA and a modded PS2, or should I bring my PS2? I don't have MBAA though but I can see if I can procure copies of HnK and Basara X for the hell of it.

Hopefully I will halfway decently teach you how to get bodied by testament. Mike, I think we sleep dodged each other on the phonecalls today. Call me during the day tomorrow around 10. So we can talk abt the 30th.
mikenapalm Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 doomie i'll try to be awake at 10 if not then call me couple of times after 5. i should be up by then. the signal really sucks in my house sometimes. if that fails i'll work shit out via text or something. and i do have a flip top/ freemcboot ps2 with copies of ggac+ mbaa cvs2 and hnk and one ps2 stick that im bringing for it.
DoomieJ Posted October 20, 2010 Posted October 20, 2010 I got my PS2 stick, so thats all we would need. Yeah, if you dont hit me up around 10, ill hit you up when im out of work again.
mikenapalm Posted October 20, 2010 Author Posted October 20, 2010 damn D= just call out saying theres an outbreak of jailbait that only you can take care of. but seriously we definitely want to make this a regular thing for the area. there will be more as long as people keep showing interest
mikenapalm Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Update: John and sal are bringing sodas for people to drink all day. Talk of maybe trying to get an after party going as well.
Achtzehn Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Yo mike, got a question for you, how would you like to play beatmania IIDX 17 sirius there? I mean it really is just people pushing buttons in whatever, and I have it. I'll bring it if you can bring a real controller for me to play on... keyboard sucks ass. Also they sell any beatmania controllers at this place?
mikenapalm Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 You've got an import or a leak? If you got a leak could you patch it with freemcboot?(my ps2 doesn't like swap magic.) I have a US keyboard. I don't think they have a IIDX keyboard. Guitar Freaks and Taiko no Tatsujin last I checked but they always surprise me. Honestly the best place to get the controller is probably eBay or gamestop online for the US bundle and just throw the US game away. Lol. You can always import a jp controller($) or buy an arcade one($$$$$$)

I guess sunday I'll just go into the city and grab it.
mikenapalm Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 Check online first cause gamestop is starting to close out their ps2 section. They probably turned most games that won't sell locally into corporate to sell online.
mikenapalm Posted October 23, 2010 Author Posted October 23, 2010 Shit is tomorrow. Get hype. When would be a good time to run this again. Imma talk to Sal tomorrow. Next weekend is the Brooklyn biweekly. Next Level has the South Jersey Classic either the first or second Saturday although I'm pretty sure it's the first. Should we just stick to third Saturday of the month?
Achtzehn Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Shit I can't make it down, too much of a distance, parents are like stop putting so many damn miles on the car in such a short time. Maybe I'll make it down another time. Sorry I had to flake at the last second.
mikenapalm Posted October 24, 2010 Author Posted October 24, 2010 It's all good. We'll run this back again soon. I'm talking to Sal about when to run it again. I wanna say the 20th of November. We might also be able to grab the weekend before that as well. But that is also a day of the Brooklyn biweekly. Should we go for that day as well?
