Yannick Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) This thread is designed to help BlazBlue players in Western NY get together. Rochester has been slowly trying to amass enough interest in BB:CS to attend local gatherings, local tournaments, and out-of-town tournaments. Some groups of players may be playing with different groups without a central means to connect these different groups. Cities like Syracuse and Buffalo may also have small (or large) groups of players that don't have a central place to meet, discuss, and plan. The group of Rochester players that I personally play with are just getting into the more in-depth nature of ArcSys, so Guilty Gear isn't terribly popular at the moment, but may catch on with further development of technical skill and more interest in 2D fighters. Overall, the group has good potential and, most importantly, they don't rage. Everyone here loves playing and looks forward to when we can all throw down for a few sets against each other. Rochester players will be playing locally once a week all summer long. Once enough interest has been gathered, I will be planning a BlazBlue tournament series that will hopefully bring in some talent from the surrounding cities and educate everyone in the region about their current state of BlazBlue. This thread will be updated often with all the information anyone needs to know regarding fests and tournaments as well as information regarding players and their locations. If you reside in Western New York and play BlazBlue, even casually, please post and let people know that you exist! Don't forget to check back here for updates and more information.

its iaijutsu Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Yo! Used to play bbcs for a while but I didn't know there was a scene in Rochester so I got rid of it. I'd be down for some meet ups. Might make me pick it back up. I also play guilty gear, though I haven't played in a while I'd LOVE to get back on it. I'll keep an eye on the thread to see what's going on. Let's get this Rochester scene back in action!
Aureolux Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 UR student here, I'd love to play sometime although I'm only a so-so player. Lemme know when anything's going on, CGL is like 10 minutes from where I live.
IburntTheToast Posted January 26, 2011 Posted January 26, 2011 hey does anyone live near medina that could give me a ride up to this shit? lol
aria of dusk Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 I don't play BB at the moment but if you guys play some Gear let me know
its iaijutsu Posted February 27, 2011 Posted February 27, 2011 Yo I'm getting a ps2 next week and hopefully AC not too shortly after. Let's get this scene going!
its iaijutsu Posted April 8, 2011 Posted April 8, 2011 Really? Is our scene really this dead? If ANYBODY sees this let me know. I'm getting my car back and I'd be down to drive to buff if necessary. I just wanna play some guilty gear and meet up with other people that play guilty gear.
Yannick Posted August 2, 2011 Author Posted August 2, 2011 Sorry, didn't see any responses for about a month, so I stopped checking. Monthlies for BB:CS2 will be starting in September in Rochester. A BB:CS2 exhibition will take place on the 13th of this month for anybody who wants to come out and just play. I'll post details soon.
IburntTheToast Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 i probably wont be able to come out till September, but honestly i think we might have to merge this with mvc or street fighter to get ppl to come out and who knows they might like bb and go get a copy.
QualityVan Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Oh hey CGL is a ten minute bus ride from my dorms. Looking forward to things being planned.
Yannick Posted September 6, 2011 Author Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Hey, everyone! Great news! Cyberstorm is getting right into serious BlazBlue action THIS WEEKEND! Please visit our thread over on Shoryuken.com to get more info: http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/bb-cs2-cyberstorm-monthlies-rochester-new-york-next-event-september-10.132622/ Also, we have a thread locally here on Dustloop: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?12400-September-10-2011-Cyberstorm-Monthlies!-Rochester-New-York&p=1127105#post1127105 Edited September 6, 2011 by Yannick
Yannick Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 Just a reminder that the CStorm tournament is THIS weekend! We are also doing BlazBlue ranbats for Rochester tonight at RIT starting at 8:00 p.m.! Please send me a PM if you need details.
Yannick Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 Posting up to revive this thread just like ROC has revived its interest in BlazBlue! A small contingent of players has emerged with serious interest in BlazBlue and a few joined me for the trek to Toryuken! during May of 2012. We had a total blast and made a ton of acquaintances from the Hamilton and Toronto areas. We're looking to be about 5 players deep so far, but our players are also getting geared up for Guilty (....!) and the summer should prove quite productive for travelers to get some experience. Hopefully people aren't bluffing about interest in the game this time, so please post if you still play and send me a PM if you have any questions. Thanks!
Yannick Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Just posting to say that we've started up a new thread on SRK! We're playing P4U and TTT2U, but we have tons of players that play tons of other games as well. If you want some action, please hit us up over there or PM me here! http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/rochester-new-york-thats-not-a-setup-updated-9-17.168847/
