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

[Milln]

You're frigging right you're going to bring it. ALWAYS BRING SOMETHING.

I've actually seen Under Night months ago, too and I'm interested. I'll run casuals on it for a hype check, but the only game I'm going to include on release regardless of hype levels is Skullgirls. *looks through Astaroth at MikeZ*

[LastStarSaviour]

So I couldn't exactly score two TVs this time around. They both just simply won't fit in my car. Also, the one I am intending to bring may be put on no-go status due to it needing a remote and i'm not sure if i'll be able to get up early enough to go buy one. But this is only if i'm not able to get a remote, most likely i'll be able to secure one with ease. So far i've got a PS3, 360, and a TV for my list of things. We should really figure out how this video uploading thing is gonna work as well, I want to see some vids from our last CS tournament so yeah. Well, i've typed enough I guess. Time to hit the showers and get ready for that long drive tomorrow

My bad. :P I meant to get some of the videos up tonight (I have over half of them done), but I ended up spending that time practicing. XD Sorry you guys. I'll definitely get the rest of the videos (last MTN AND this coming one) up over the summer, when I have more time to spend on it. Thanks for the patience everyone.

Now then, moving along to HYPE- really looking forward to this MTN, especially since it seems like the majority of people who couldn't make it last time are showing up this time. On top of that, I feel more prepared than last tournament for SURE, even though I feel like I'm nowhere close to the top of my game, haha. Here's to hoping I can get more than one Astral this time!... But not because you guys aren't performing well. Get to bed early, get some friendlies in beforehand, etc. I want to earn these Astrals. >:3 See you all tomorrow.

[Grimstar]

bahahaha... I just realized I has no monehs. I can go... but I may not have enough to spare for the entry fee. hurr durrr

[Jackie Chandler]

OMG I think I might be like an hour early this time. Expect to see me there at around 11 guys (if any of you are even there yet). :D

[snipingsnipe]

GGs to everyone I fought, had a really great time, sorry I had to go and leave early (again)

Also thanks Naimat (I think :P) for showing me some stuff about bang, that mirror match was pretty sweet! Nice to finally meet you to jackie, haven't seen a good ragna in quite a while :D

[Jackie Chandler]

Yeah, great games all around everyone. I wish I could have gotten in some more Blazblue friendlies, especially since everyone seemed to be more in practice/at their top game AFTER the tournament. >_> That means I expect to see you guys on Live/PSN (on the rare occasions I play on it) over the summer, particularly after CSII comes out, so I won't be the only one who's played the game outside the tournament in weeks. XD Not to say I didn't have my fair share of competition- every game I played was extremely close... Except for finals, where I just got annihilated by Green Grabs. Freakin' Midnight, taking advantage of the fact I'm American. :P Anyway, shoutouts:

Milln- Thanks again, so much for all you do at MTN. It really means a lot that you're willing to shell out your own money for T.V. setups, and organize everything by yourself for the benefit of the community. I was really happy to play Suguri again and Arcana Heart for the first time, and I know that wouldn't have been possible without the extra setups. It's really cool that you're not the kind of guy to say "oh, tournament's over, G2G guys," too- I always have a lot of fun at Steak 'n Shake/IHOP after the tournament just hanging with everyone, and I know there wouldn't be a lot of driving force behind that without you planning it. So again, thank you for all the hard work. It means a lot. :] Can't wait to see what you've got in store for us at next MTN.

Midnight- I'm making it my goal to get good at breaking Green Grabs (especially air ones) before the next tournament. I mean, really... Those last six matches were EMBARASSING in that regard. ;_; Awesome games though, and solid Litchi as always. I don't know what happened between our match during Winner's Finals and Grand Finals, but whatever you did, keep doing it- it seemed to work for you pretty well. :P

Naimat/Saltmaster- Ah, I can still taste your delicious tears in Cookeville. >:3 Really though, great games, especially after the tourney. Like I mentioned above, I wish I could have played you when you were more in practice/practice against me in the actual tournament, because you were mopping the floor with me in most of those friendlies. You played solidly in our tournament game, too... You just were just letting me get away with too many stupid mistakes. XD Next tournament, I expect you to punish me PROPERLY, you got that? I don't wanna hear any of this "waaaah CSII just came out" stuff. :]

Astaroth- And yet ANOTHER tournament goes by without us playing at all. :/ I was really hoping you'd beat Midnight in Loser's Finals- not because I was afraid of Midnight more than you or anything, but because I haven't played a Tager (let alone yours) in the past three months. T_T This needs to be mended over the summer for sure, both over online and at the next tourney. I'm holding you to it. :D

Snipingsnipe- Haha, thanks! I know I'm not all that with Ragna, but I like to think I'm consistent (which means double Berial Edge combos all the way, apparently). XD Nice Valk for sure- I was really, REALLY surprised when you told me you picked him up like a week ago, since I forgot you placed third in MTN3 as Rachel, and even MORE surprised when you told me you main Bang. It's great to have someone besides Midnight play more than one character well. :3 I just wish I could have played some more of your Bang and/or you in CSII... So you better make it to the next one! :]

Doromac- It was really cool playing around on MvC3 after the tournament with you. I learned a lot watching you in Training Mode, and a few neat things (particularly that Akuma Raging Demon/Dante Hyper Combo thing) I wouldn't have found out about otherwise. I'm not that good at Marvel yet, so watching you pull off some of those really complex combos and introduce me to resets was and will be really helpful as I try to get better with the game. :D On another note, I have to admit it was really funny to see you pulling off amazing combos with the entire cast in Training Mode, then get to Mission Mode (where I KNOW the combos are easier) and have issues with some. I want you to have that Achievement by next tourney, Doromac. Otherwise I'm going to be disappointed. :P

Star- I never played any games with you either... And we're not counting CSII, since we didn't even get the chance for half a game before I had to go play a tourney match. :[ Still, it was plenty of fun talking with you, hearing your reactions to CSII Noel, and hanging at Steak 'N Shake. Just make sure your mom doesn't kill you before next tournament- I want to play your CSII Noel SO bad! :3

Volpe- Raaaaaaaaage quitteeeeeeeer. :P Nah, I'm just kidding. I don't know what was up with that. There may be something wrong with my PSP wireless or something. *Shrug* But yeah, CSII casuals were fun when they were working, and you were yet another person I never got to play in the tourney. I wanna face dat Haku next time. :]

Pickle- Once again, I can't wait to listen to some of this commentary. XD Honestly, I think you deserve a podcast or something. Every time I talk to you something ridiculous and great gets brought up/happens, like the triple (sun)glasses combo, and the shutter shade eyepatch. Keep MTN hype, and keep being genuinely awesome Pickle. :D

Billy- Thanks for showing up man, it was cool playing you in randoms! I just wish you'd entered the tourney so those Astrals could have been added to my Astral Count. >:3 Still, solid playing though. Except for maybe the time I got Tager, all those games were really close. I expect you to pay me back for it in Pogeymanz some time over the summer. :]

Patrick- Haven't seen you post here in a while, but if you're lurking, awesome Marvel team. I didn't get annihilated like I thought I would, but I can still tell we're playing at two totally different levels. I hope I can give you more of a run for your money next time we play, and if I have an opportunity to end the match like I did this time, I hope I don't waste it then. :3

Phil- For some reason, I'm always pleasantly surprised to see you at MTN. I never see you post here any more, I guess because you're not interested in CS1 any more at least, so you may not even get around to reading this. But in case you do, I hope our paths cross in a fighting game in the future again. Keep up the good work with Street Fighter. :]

Tad- TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!1!Q So sad you couldn't make it this time either. I'm sorry, but if you don't make it to the next possible tournament, I'm revoking your privileges to be cool. :/ Seriously though, tourneys aren't the same without ya. If you can, make sure to ask off work and everything in advance for the next one. The best part is that everyone's going to suck in the next tourney because CSII will have just come out, so you won't have any catching up to do! :D

Justin (on the off chance you actually read this)- Holy shit, I'm convinced you're my long-lost brother. Someone else who likes J-Pop? Zaxby's? Jackie Chan Adventures? Double fries?! You sir, are AWESOME, and awesome people don't skip out on MTN. So you better be there next time. If nothing else, I owe you a Melty Blood match. :3

And if I forgot anyone, I'm terribly sorry- it's late, I'm tired, and my memory's a bit fuzzy. I had a lot of fun today- probably the most fun I've ever had at MTN so far (and I'm not just saying that because I got second). I got to interact with a lot of people this time- most everyone at least once or twice- and I got to play three different fighting games I normally wouldn't have access to (all three of which I desperately want to own copies of now). So until next time, keep the hype up! I can't wait to play everyone at MTN6. ^_^

[Astaroth136]

SHOUTOUTS!

Milln - Of course, another awesome job running the tournies. Everyone had plenty of time for casuals afterwards, which was great. And like Chandler mentioned, it was really cool of you to buy all of those extra tvs for our scene. I had fun helping with brackets too. Like I said, I wasn't trying to take over; I just recorded match results whenever you were playing. Again, if you need any help running brackets at MWC, I'll back you up.

Chandler - Thanks for hangin out and eating lunch with me. Sorry if I didn't talk much though, I was just really hungry. I already told you how I felt about you mowing down everyone and instantly getting a guaranteed 2nd. While your offense was shaky, your defense was impressive (excluding breaking grabs... lol). And yeah, we still never played each other in any game yesterday. I blame Naimat, since we played about 50 matches after the mvc3 tournament.

Naimat/Saltmaster - GGs in Blazblue and Marvel. I was actually worried in our BB matches when you instantly won the first match, but then I remembered that Tager doesn't have to take that counter nonsense. 360's all day. Your salt in Marvel is hilarious to me, mainly because your complaints are true.

Midnight - Sigh... Litchi really frustrated me in our tourney matches. You played conservatively, which makes it that much harder for Tager to do anything. GGs as always.

Doro - We got to play some Marvel in the tournament, and I watched a lot of your matches. That Viper was sick. Maybe we can get some casuals in next time... if Naimat doesn't hog me.

LSS - How is it that we are ALWAYS matched up in the brackets? The Mu almost threw me off, but I have tons of Mu matchup experience thanks to some XBL people I play. GGs.

Snipingsnipe & company - I feel like I never have time to talk to or play any of you guys. Thanks for coming up again. Maybe next time we can get some matches in.

Billy - No money? Spending dough on prositutes still? I figured you'd like the cheap, gross ones. Seriously, it was good seeing you there. And lol @ you beating that game with one quarter when it was your first time playing.

Volpe - You were preoccupied with CS2 all day. I don't blame you...

Pickle - You tried commentating your own match, but you barely said anything. You were trying not to grabbed or tech trapped. IIRC, you murdered me that first round. Those gold colors threw me off... XD

Patrick - Your stuff will be on SRK.

Phil - Same as Patrick.

That Georgia player - Thanks for coming up, and I'm sorry I never got to talk to you.

[Mr.Pickle]

Its really hard to commentate on your own match by the way, especially when you're trying not to get your dick whooped lol. Sorry I had to leave so early guys, had a party to go to and my attendance was required. It was good seeing you guys again, can't wait for the next one, ill be sure to wear my stunner shades again lol.

[Seiki]

WOOOOOOOOTTTTT CS1 IS OVER!!!

Shoutouts!!!!!!!

Milln - As always thanks for hosting these tournaments and props for stepping up to host blazblue for MWC, and thanks for letting me borrow MvC3 now I won't be free at the next tournament.

LSS - Noel is free in CT, CS1, and soon to be CS2. I enjoyed our friendlies and I know how frustrating the Noel v. Bang matchup lol because in CT it was the exact opposite. P.S. your mom is crazy

Jackie Chan - Good shit taking 2nd and beating the Saltmaster you deserved it BUT CS2 will be different...if anything it will be because I practiced.

Astaroth - Being agressive in the first game worked out for me so I thought that the next two games it would be the right thing to do. I think our matches will be more epic in CS2 when our characters are more even.

Midnight - THE FIRST TWO MATCHES WITH NOEL WAS JUST DATA SON!!! Look how free you were in the 3rd match..psh go back to top tier. Lol but on the real I'm glad we got to play friendlies. CS2 won't be so one sided so you better be ready...unless you pick makoto then I'll probably be free.

SnipingSnipe & friends - I wish you guys would hang around longer so we could play friendlies. SnipingSnipe you have a pretty solid bang just work on when you burst and hit confirming other than that you have nice pickups and I hope to have some Bang dittos in CS2 where it won't be two combos and the other dude is dead.

Billy - Hoes before Bros. eh? Well I HOPE IT WAS WORTH IT!! YOU BETTER BE AT THE NEXT TOURNAMENT ESPECIALLY CUZ YOUR CHAR IS TOP TIER NOW!! SO WE IS FREE!

Doro - You aren't bad at MVC I was pleased to see what you can do. Thanks for bringing a setup.

Pickle - Lol you are the essence of hype. You being there makes the event a lot more pleasant. I hope you come to the next one man AND NEXT TIME STICK AROUND FOR STEAK N SHAKE.

EVERYONE - I will let this man speak for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yYS0ZZdsnA

[Klein]

More shoutouts!

Milln - For still being to coolest TO I've met and for teaching me how Suguri works, even though that game is way too much for my pokey turtle mind.

Naimat - I'm 99% sure I fought you and you beat me as golden Bang, who should be mandatory in all tounaments, good games.

LastStar - Good games man, we've gotta get some casuals in come CS2 so I can actually learn that matchup and poke some drives for barriers.

Volpe - Dude, even though neither of us were used to CS2 yet, those were some good matches! I'm already hyped for Hakumen mirrors sometime in CS2

Everyone else - Sorry I had to leave early, someday I'll get a driver's license so I can stay out there past semifinals for spectating and more casuals. Always need more casuals.

Also, shoutouts to my tv getting badtalked and no game time, you guys need to experience the glory of the 13" Zenith combination VHS player/Television.

[Grimstar]

Maybe I'll show up on time and play whenever this game becomes more interesting than vaginas.

[LastStarSaviour]

Alright, time for a little shoutout action:

Milln- Thanks for hosting this stuff yet again and for showing me how broken no name is on suguri. Hopefully people will really get into it seeing as how fun it is. Also, can't wait to see that Shake and Steak vid.

Midnight- Congrats on yet another win dude. I was surprised that I managed to win a match off your Arakune with my Mu, that really shocked me. Also. those Arcana casuals were awesome. Can't wait for PSN to get back up so we can have more.

Naimat/Saltmaster- I finally got to have some casuals against you man, I thought it would never happen. I'd hate to be the one to break this to you but Noel has never been and never will be "free." I lost to you only because I haven't played the game at all since AH3 came out. But don't worry, once CS2 rolls around i'll show ya what's she's truly capable of. In the meantime, stay salty man. Great Bang and sorry about my crazy black mom.

Astaroth- Dude, when will there ever be a tournament where we don't get matched up? I'm hoping next time we can get some casuals in. Also, are you really going to main Platinum? Because honestly I think you would make a good Platinum main.

Grimstar- I don't know dude, you were just kind of invisible. Popped up every once in a while with a Kamui "Condom" joke and would fade back in the shadows (thought that was Tad's job). Anyways, hope to see you in the CS2 tournament. If you do keep maining Hazama you're going to love CS2.

Tad- ...........

Doromac- You and your Mutler, I really need to get some casuals in against you if possible.

That new guy- Sorry I can't remember your name dude but you main Petra. Thanks for being a fellow Noel supporter, Melty Blood player, and Stein's Gate lover as well. Next tournament i'll make sure to showcase my Noel so look forward to that.

Jackie Chandler- Congrats on making grand finals dude, I know how you feel when it comes to those tournament nerves. I've only recently been able to get over them dude. But here is one thing I do suggest, NEVER think that you're inferior to anyone. Always, say to yourself " I can dish out the same amount of asswhoop as anyone here," because most of the time that's true. I find that the characters in games tend to make the actual person seem more intimidating than they really are but don't falter. Also, thanks so much for those cables. I managed to get my PSP to work on my TV so i've been playing GG all day. WIsh I had CS2 but i'll manage for another two weeks.

Special shoutouts:

Those howler-monkey homosexual baboon africanuses- Wow, that mall carries the strangest of people. Hope I never have to look at that many ghey african americans at one time ever again. Seriously, hearing you all do your native mating calls to a flipping crane machine was disturbing.

That one creeper guy- NIGGA, WE PLAY 360's and PS3's!!! Get back to luring in little children with your fake promises of candy and toys.

That cool Steak and Shake lady- You deserve an award in awesome and I hope Naimat's complaining got you cooled off. Stay cool (lol, a pun. get it, get it?)

My mom- Please don't kill me!!!!

Peace out everyone. To the people I may have missed, Look To The Stars.

[Doromac]

Milln- Look at our super amazing and handsome to buying TVs for us. This was the most fun I had at the tourney. You're effing awesome. And I'm working on that banner for you bro.

Naimat/Saltmaster- UGHHH, I felt like I should have beat you in MvC, but gg's bro. I got to play you in more casuals next time.

Astaroth- We should definitely play some games next time. I could definitely learn a thing or a lot from you, lol. Dorm looks like he is definitely doing you a lot more good than M.O.D.O.K.

Snipingsnipe- We should try to get in some casuals next time. Those matches in tourney were fun though.

Jackie-I had such a blast in the lab, lol. I hope you figure out that Dante combo so you can show it to me next time around. Also, I will definitely get that achievement.

Star- We should definitely try to play some games next time. I don't think we ever have played a set together, lol.

Volpe- Nice haircut

Pickle- Tank combos

Boomcube- God we played so many matches. I think I finally got to you with my Viper stuff though. You've got some sick pressure and execution bro.

I should play you guys on xbl sometime.

[Astaroth136]

Extra shoutouts to Milln for recording MvC3 finals. Thanks for doing that for me.

[Grimstar]

Shoutouts to Osama for being dead!

(Because by now Im sure none of you have heard of this)

You're a bit late there dude. I've been known about that shit and I say good ridance to that fcker. Pardon my french everyone, that just hits a little close to home.

Anyways, Milln what about that Steak and Shake vidja?

[Astaroth136]

And that MvC3 finals vidjas?

[Top_Cat]

Another MTNG. Midnight reclaims the throne and noel forgets who bang is.

SHOUTOUTS

Milln: Basically coolest person evar who manipulates brackets <3. Congrats for mwc! is gonna be yayuhz.

Naimat: Noel: 2 Bang: 1 get at me.

Astaroth: NOT THIS TIME! I got my act together this time. Stop blocking meaty overheads. lol ggs and great casuals

Jacky: Very impressive! Nobody expected you to send Naimat and me to losers. Change up your block strings and tech air grabs and you'll be golden.

LSS: Arcana casuals were great. Kamui critical heart FTW LOL.

SnipingSnipe and co: Stay longer next time for teh casuals!

So uh, Rachel is almost back from her trip to low-tier town. Get scurred.

[Astaroth136]

Astaroth: NOT THIS TIME! I got my act together this time. Stop blocking meaty overheads. lol ggs and great casuals

Jackie and I had that Japanese defense going on. We blocked mixups all day. In fact, I blocked for so long, you timed me out several times...

[LastStarSaviour]

Yo Middy, guess what? Decided to drop Akane and Petra and go back to my original plans of maining Heart. Lol, I just love that brutal amount of damage she offers plus that playstyle is hard to resist.

GETTING MY STICK MODDED SATURDAY BITCHES!!!

AH3... I will rape your shit in it soon.

[Astaroth136]

I'll be there Saturday, Billy. Playing MvC3 all day.

Naimat, you better be there too. Apparently, Memphis is good at MvC3...

[Doromac]

If I can scrounge up the cash, Imma try to head out.

[Grimstar]

Ill be there all day probably. Dunno if I'll enter any tournies or not though. I'll probably play AE most of the day.
