Middle Tennessee Needs Gaming! Monthly Versus Tourneys - Antioch, TN

[Astaroth136]

TAD!!! PM me your cell number so we can meet up at FR. Also, don't you have a fancy ps2 controller/converter that I've used in past tournaments? Can you bring that for me to use at FR?

[Grimstar]

Grimstar i've got you covered on that end. I have every part unlocked on Armored Core For Answer. So no need to worry about that.

Awesome dude. But wait... you has PS3 D:

I could probably figure it out. The main issue would be trying to remember my Mech's setup... it's been a LOOONG time since I played that game. I can't remember if AC:FA was the one that I had my infinite Over Boost Mech or my Sniper one... Either way it'll probably all come back to me once it's in my hands again.

I might have to go buy this game again.

[Astaroth136]

Hey Grim, you still going to FR? Me, you, and Tad need to practice Thursday night/Friday morning.

[Milln]

I didn't actually think Armored Core would be such a hit. I'll definitely pick it up and get back into it for you punks. You guys aren't ready for my old Jintek line of ACs.

@Raven: I had honestly forgotten about how terrible the vs. camera was and what an advantage the possessor had. Whoops.

@Tad: Your Testament es II gud. Definitely bring dat Unlimited Hax. I've been wanting to play it, but too cheap to download it.

[Grimstar]

nope I'm not going, wish I could but I'm not financially prepared for this endeavor. Maybe next year

[LastStarSaviour]

Hm, it's strange. For some reason MvC3 has been in my head for a while now. I think I might actually be wanting to play this game. I rlly need to look to the stars on this one. Also, starting next MTN i'll be LastStarSaviour again. Nagera boshi just doesn't sit tht well in the name department for me. I'd rather be able to bust out random star quotes for no real reason at all. Rejoyce Grimstar, we're name buddies once more.

[Grimstar]

yeah, Nagera is like asking for Nigeria/Negra jokes

AND PLAY MvC3 BIZNATCH

The combo system (for more advanced combos that is) is surprisingly a lot like BB. You'll like it if you give it a shot.

Also get a stick. You'll like it if you give it a shot. (that's what she said)

Yeah, I learned that the hard way against Grimstar.

And does anyone happen to know what Regulation AC:FA is on? I haven't played it in about a year, doesn't help that I had EVERYTHING and then my HD and games were stolen. I'd be all over it if I was there, even for playing online but I'm waiting on AC5.

[LastStarSaviour]

I was planning on buying a stick to practice with BB for the next tourney. I think a fightstick will help me better learn Mu-12. Take Note: Subbing Mu-12 once CS2 is here. There are a few problems i'm having though. Do I buy a fightstick for PS3 or 360? If I buy one for 360 i'll have something to enter the tournament with but i'll have had no practice seeing as my BB copy is PS3 while if I buy a PS3 stick i'll have had practice but will have nothing to enter the tournament with. This doesn't really matter much since i've been relying heavily on Middy's controller....I hope we never have to fight each other, but then again I lose so much I doubt it would happen anyways. HAHAHAHA.......*Sobs*

[Doromac]

shouldn't middy's converter work on the stick?

[Seiki]

Speaking of sticks, I was wondering Tad when we could get that dual modding get together. If you don't have time/place could you post instructions on how to do it?

[Alphakami]

Lee: I'll bring everything you need for PS2 without analogs to run PS3 to FR. That's correct, correct?

Milln: Will do. Testament is my sub BTW. When did you see me play Testy? I'll bring the FUC next time.

Niamat: Every US supplier is still sold out of parts thanks to MVC3 dropping, and the batshit insanity. Get at me at the next MTNG, and we'll figure it out.

LSS: I"ll bring a PS3 loaner stick for you to the next MTNG if you don't buy your own, let you check it out.

[Milln]

And does anyone happen to know what Regulation AC:FA is on? I haven't played it in about a year, doesn't help that I had EVERYTHING and then my HD and games were stolen. I'd be all over it if I was there, even for playing online but I'm waiting on AC5.

Forgive me. Regulation?

When you crushed me and my scrubbified Holy Order Sol at the Kumite where we first met!

Edit: @All. Guys I just thought of a problem for Armored Core. How are we going to prevent screen-looking? That shoots all competitiveness down the tubes. Can't we system link two consoles?

Forgive me. Regulation?

Regulation's were basically Armored Core 4/For Answers name for Patches. I forget which one FA was on last I played, I think it was 1.4 or something. Basically it was your usual re-tweakings of parts and system changes. What I remember is that with each new patch they made the game slower because of problems with online play and lag which led to pissing a lot of people off who played VS Offline. There was also a Patch released that allowed infinite flight and boosting.

If you want to run a tournament for AC:FA I'd just see which Regulation everyone is comfortable with because some people prefer the more fast paced game-play of earlier Regulations opposed to the slower paced changes in latter ones and certain setups work different on some Regulations. Just as a note too, the reason they slowed it down for online play was due to very few weapons being viable. I think only a few rifles were really worth using, other stuff like machine guns, shotguns, etc. just weren't viable, Offline is a different story. If anything, do NOT allow the Regulation that allows infinite flight and boosting, there's some key factors that will simply break the way the game is played due to that Regulation that competitively, should not be allowed.

I'm not sure if you can System Link it either, haven't played it in so long I don't even remember the layout. If you can I'd seriously consider it as the game downsizes the screens for some stupid reason and it makes it pretty hard to see clearly at times. If I had a way of uploading some videos me and Grimstar recorded at a Tournament we had with some friends I'd show you... also show Grimstar's embarrassing murder in one of our matches >_>

MY embarrassing murder??? Don't you mean Luke's? I don't recall being murdered embarrassingly.

Also Milln you can system link AC I'm pretty sure. We could just do that. I'm sure most of us would prefer it that way anyways, as it's split screen is donkey balls

[Milln]

I'm not familiar with Regulations since I stopped playing at 3, thanks for the explanation. I'd imagine, since we're offline and enjoy fighters that we'd all want play the faster paced regulation, but then again that calls for casuals. The only way we're going to be able to run AC is if we can system link. Splitscreen isn't even about the smaller viewing area. I'm concerned about screenlooking.

[Astaroth136]

Lee: I'll bring everything you need for PS2 without analogs to run PS3 to FR. That's correct, correct?

Yep, sounds great. Thanks again. Hopefully, we can get some matches in Friday morning so I can practice ps3 pad (or in this case, ps2 pad).

[Astaroth136]

Well guys, I head out for Atlanta tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can at least make top 16 on Friday to rep Tennessee. Let's hope the brackets are a little nice to me at FR (no LK first round)...

[Grimstar]

Good luck man, 720 some bitches for me. And make sure you make that known too. be like "THIS IS FOR GRIMSTAAAAAARRR!!!!!!!!"

[LastStarSaviour]

Good luck indeed. Just keep looking to the stars and victory is guaranteed. Also, tell Tager to win for the 50 flippin PSR he stole from me. ^_^

[Astaroth136]

Thanks guys. Sure, I won't look crazy screaming "THIS IS FOR GRIIIIIIMSTAAAAAAR!!!"

I'm going the Charlie Sheen route and saying, "Winning," every time I win a round.

You'll just have to play it by ear basically :psyduck. Good luck and I hope you can work something out with everyone on it, AC Tournaments would be the shit.

Good luck Astaroth. Just look at people and go "This is my Sheen face" when you win... wow, I just pictured Tager posing after a win with a shirt on with Charlie Sheen's face and the phrase "Winning Ma-Sheen!" on it.

[Milln]

DON'T PUT DOWN SCIENCE. I'll be rooting for you, Astaroth! Go in our stead!

AND FUGGING TAD, MAN. YOU BETTER ROCK SOME FGTS IN GUILTY GEAR AND BALLS BLUE, TOO. I BETTER SEE DAT SHIZ ON THE STREAM.

Now for information regarding MTNG: Just got some venue fee information! Free Entry for Everyone! From now on, if you are playing a game in Middle Tennessee Needs Gaming whether it just be casuals or tournament, I need to collect from you ten dollars. Once. And only once. That means no split covers for different games, no changing rooms for different games. Everything is in our delightful storage room. However, this re-emphasizes setups. For the nth time. (For those lacking reading comprehension, this is a good thing cause it costs you less to play more games)

@Doromac: Please don't rar up the entire footage folder and split it into different parts that require all the parts to unrar. If a file corrupts on a download, I have to redownload the entire thing again because I can't figure out which one it is. This severely hampers upload time.

Edited March 10, 2011 by Milln

[Doromac]

Megaupload is like the easiest place for me to put it since mediafire has limits. And I can't upload all of it together since I don't have a premium account for that large of a file. Sorry Milln for the trouble. I have pretty good upload and download speeds though, so if you want me to just start uploading it all on youtube, I wouldn't mind. It'll just take a bit more time since I'll have to edit everything.
