DonnieRye Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 https://www.facebook.com/questions/543879602312956/ Looks like they're voting on whether to have it Saturday or Sunday. Also, you can vote for a game you want in it!
glod Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) If it ends up being on Sunday that's nice because then it doesn't clash with Super Arcade on saturday. Speaking of which, I'm going again, so if anyone wants to carpool and split the gas cost, let me know. Also Watermelonz you should bring your laptop and Melty if you end up coming!

shtkn Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 ryan says that he found my controller at saltmines, so that's good. WITCH HUNT OVER glod, i'd like to get a ride from you if possible. however, i might need to go pick up ds... would you be willing to do that? if not, that's fine; i can drive separately
glod Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 Yeah, that's cool. I've picked up ds on the way before(assuming he still lives in san marcos), you may just have to remind me of the directions. I'll just ask for 10 bucks from both of you for gas.
Jigoku_Roa Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I might want to go to Super Arcade, but I'll let you know Friday.
Watermelonz Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I most likely won't be able to make it to anything for about two weeks, my schoolwork is starting to pile up. See you guys in two weeks.
Ichipoo Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I most likely won't be able to make it to anything for about two weeks, my schoolwork is starting to pile up. See you guys in two weeks.I know that feel. Anyway most likely I'll be able to go. My last midterm for now is today.
DonnieRye Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I don't know if something is going on today, but I will not be there because I twisted my ankle doing something stupid.
Ichipoo Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 There's always something going on this time of week. It's Anime Fridays! Anyway I'm most likely going, see you guys there!
glod Posted February 22, 2013 Posted February 22, 2013 I don't know if something is going on today, but I will not be there because I twisted my ankle doing something stupid. Feel better, man! Maybe next week.
glod Posted February 23, 2013 Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) San Diego anime players! We discussed last night making a serious push in a couple aspects of the scene. The first one hadn't really been discussed much before: Getting our players to come out consistently. I understand everyone has real lives, get sick or hurt, and have other commitments, so the thing to think about here is: barring those sorts of excuses, what would get you to come out consistently? We discussed doing tournaments, having prizes and other sporadic silly events. We are trying to arrange for an 8 man Persona tournament next Friday. It will only cost $2 to enter. If we can do this more than one or two times, we may able to stream it and draw more attention to the scene. Second, an issue we've always had, is getting new people to show up. This one is tricky. We've gotten new people in the past just by virtue of having this thread and keeping it active, and sometimes it's from people either telling friends about it or bringing them. So I would definitely encourage people to tell all their friends that they know who play our games to come. I, unfortunately, do not know many people that play fighting games at all, so my recruiting scope is mostly online. Sometimes rides are a reason for people to not come, which is understandable, but I know I and a few others would be willing to give rides, as long as they aren't too far out of the way (and even if they were, a little gas money would probably sway them). So if anyone here has any ideas for fun Events, ways for us to get new people, or just general ideas for suggestions, post them up. Think about what you like and don't like about our community. We can work on fixing the dislikes (within reason) and emphasize the likes for newcomers. Some fun, inexpensive, silly events we've had in the past: astral sodas, stylish unlimited tournament, kusoge/Jackie Chan tournaments. Edited February 23, 2013 by glod
Donutholes Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 So after three years, I've graduated from UCSD, got a job and I'm playing GGAC more consistently again. Are meet ups only on Fridays, or are they varied throughout the week? And what games are usually played?
glod Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 We really only meet up Friday nights but we're in the process of arranging some weekend events in the next couple months. Usually we play Blazblue and Persona 4 Arena but some of us play GGAC and some of us are learning it for the first time due to the recent port. There are a few other games that get played semi-regularly (though not as much: Arcana Heart 3, Chaos Code), and then sometimes I'll bring random weird games. Basically, though, you can show up wanting to play whatever game and you'll be able to find people to play against.
Donutholes Posted February 24, 2013 Posted February 24, 2013 Sounds good. Asides from my own stick, is there anything else I can/should bring?
glod Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Just your stick and whatever games you want to play. We usually don't need setups or anything but someone will say something if we do. Hope to see you at the next one (This friday)!
glod Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 I've never really played it either, so I'm totally down to learn with you!
Donutholes Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 How late will you be open on Friday? Because I'm actually going to be at a b-day party for a friend, but I don't mind heading over later if people will still be around. And do people play AC there on 360 or ps2?
glod Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 We go from 7PM to as late as 2AM sometimes (but basically whenever people decide to leave). Generally we play on Ps3s.
DonnieRye Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Do any the house PS3s even have GG? Cause if not then someone would have to bring their own.
glod Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 They don't, but I always bring mine and Kevin always brings his so that's 2 with GG already. No worries on that front.
Jigoku_Roa Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Well, Spring Showdown will have a Marvel and AE tournaments and 2 highest voted games on their Facebook question as tournaments. http://www.facebook.com/questions/543879602312956/ So if guys want a tournament, you should vote for it.
glod Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 I voted for the anime games and added Guilty Gear to the list. You know, just in case.
hakimiru Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Sorry about last week, I was in a long-distance call with my mom that ended up dragging on pretty late. I'll try to be out this week, although I haven't been much in the mood for fighting games recently.
DonnieRye Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 (edited) https://www.facebook.com/events/535509086472647/ Here is the facebook event page for the tournament. Lets get persona in there, yeah? Vote for it, if you haven't already. Its got quite a number of votes already, just a little more and I think they might add it in. edit: the link to the poll was posted by roa already further up. Edited February 26, 2013 by DonnieRye
