Thanks for the fun times guys, I really need to actually practice Blazblue. Next time i'll do a bit better.

Someone recap the dinner talks.

Shoutouts will be posted in the morning.

Lets see.. Key Points:

-Utilize the "Get Exposed" video in order to get more attention to our scene

-Travel to adjacent events in order to experience their scenes, as well as make them more inclined to come to ours

-Talks of attempting to revive guilty gear, and possibly switching to guilty gear from blazblue

-finding a new venue one day if our scene ever grows to be too big for the arcade

-smash bros is for children

I think that was pretty much the big talking points of the night. My memory's a little bad on that. But traveling and GG was definitely the big points we were all getting across.

BBCS/GGAC/SSBM

Would be a dream tournament series for me...

Oh well, can't wait for Nintendo vs Capcom to release :D

Milln, feel free to upload all of the matches you recorded on your phone. Casuals against Eugene were entertaining, and Dudley vs. Hugo was crazy.

Lets see.. Key Points:

-Utilize the "Get Exposed" video in order to get more attention to our scene

Sounds good.

-Travel to adjacent events in order to experience their scenes, as well as make them more inclined to come to ours

There's not many other scenes in mid TN. The closest non-TN scene is about 3 hours away, and they've come to a few of ours (the marvel players that took first a couple of times). This is the problem with the South. Cities are not near as populated as east/west coast, and we're much more spread out.

-Talks of attempting to revive guilty gear, and possibly switching to guilty gear from blazblue.

While I can understand this, I don't think Guilty Gear will attract the more casual crowd, which happens to be exactly what we're targetting at the moment. By getting the more casual people to come in, we can then slowly convert them to the "hardcore" side and attend more. GG is known for its crazy advanced stuff, and this may scare off newbies.

-finding a new venue one day if our scene ever grows to be too big for the arcade

That doesn't look like it's going to happen any time soon. We barely have 10 people that make it every month. Melee shows a huge amount of numbers though, so it can get crowded fast when they come in.

-smash bros is for children

Heh, I overheard this for 2 hours Saturday night. Smash is the most advanced "fighter" that doesn't involve arcade sticks. There is a lot of fast button-pressing and c-stick smashing, and you have to have some sort of execution for that. The game is faster than most people think too. I respect them as players and try not to give them crap, because Blazblue players get similar crap too.

ah. I should've clarified. By adjacent I meant to say adjacent states, such as Georgia and such. Also, I got no beef with smash players. I just love rattling KO's cage.

For all those (secretly or otherwise)concerned about me at dinner: it culminated into me not being able to walk, sit, even put pressure/weight on my right leg/right back without disabling pain and I was down for Sunday and almost wimped out and went to the emergency room.

Good news is I don't have any discs or crap like that screwed up or herniated. My joints were out of place and I went to the chiropractor today and she put them back in. Not expensive at all compared to a hospital trip if I had gone. I already feel like fifty times better than I did yesterday. I have another appointment Wednesday morning and we'll go from there.

Videos I'll upload Eugene's. I didn't really record grand finals, I couldn't get a good angle on it.

Dang it, I'm too lazy for detailed shoutouts. Can we just pretend I'm saving my energy for October's shoutouts? :3

Milln: Good tournament was good! Really looking forward to next month's. Arigatou gozaimasu. And it's GREAT to hear you're doing better, I was seriously worried man. Next time don't sit on it for so long. Literally. :[

Astaroth: Hype playing Blazblue and Third Strike, and good job placing in both. I can't say I'm surprised though. :P

Falcon: It was really nice talking with you in person, and fun playing you in BB. Hope to see you around more for sure! :D

Cyner: Sorry for being a dick, that's kind of what I'm good at with fightan gaemz. :3 Good meeting you though, and be sure to make it up whenever you can!

Papstr: Lol crashing at my place and hatin' on Dreamworks movies. Whenever I'm not busy, you're coming over to legitimately hang out.

Star: GRRRRRR GET DAT CONVERTER. And/or participate anyway. But thanks for showing up, it's always good to have your company. :]

Naimat: Dude, we hardly talked at all. ;_; We're both playing friendlies AND talking moar next time.

Tad: Thanks for showing up man. I swear, you get cooler every time I talk to you. XD

Phil: I never got a chance to properly thank you for giving me tips in 3SO and Guilty Gear. I really, really appreciate it man. It was a lot of fun in both. :D

K.O.: You're a fun guy. Show up more. :3

Everyone who didn't show up: YOU DIDN'T SHOW UP. >:T

Anyone I forgot: I'm sorry, I have a terrible memory. Let me know and I'll give you a proper shoutout.

Crazy stuff always happens when I'm not around. Glad you're okay though, Milln.

SHOUTOUTS! (short version)

Milln - Great tournament, as always. Sorry I had to leave before the mystery tournament finished.

Chandler - Great matches in BB. We pretty much just go 50/50 at this point.

Cyner - Nice meeting and playing you in BB. Watching you play SSBM was hype.

Falcon - Same as Cyner. Thanks for coming up, and hope both of you can come next month.

Star - Y U NO PLAY GAMES?

Tad - Glad you made it last minute, and thanks for sitting and talking while I ate.

Naimat - We never get to play each other for casuals...

Doro - GGs in Marvel casuals. Can't wait for dat Ultimate.

KO - Always good discussing the fat characters in games. Watching your Bowser/Ganon in smash is great.

I don't feel like individual shout-outs so i'll just say this to everyone: Good times to all, sorry there was no LastStar play and etc... For anyone wondering about CS2, i've been trolling that game do to paranoia and insecurity. Cyner and Falcon, I was indeed trolling so don't let me make you feel like you shouldn't come back for Blazblue (even though you shouldn't, Trollface.jpeg)

Special shoutout to Naimat who showed up late and talked with me about BBCS Extend. Out of everyone who plays BB you've been the only one I can ever squeeze a conversation out of about it. Also, whenever you get free time let me know. I live really close so regular casuals are possible now.

Milln, my mom thought we were trying some weird levitation ritual outside of IHop when you were laying on the ground. Glad to hear you're okay. Also, i'll send you script info and all that good stuff soon.

Posted

Oh yeah. One of the things Tad suggested at the dinner meeting was have some "Best of MTN" clips put together for a video. I think it's a really hype idea, and if you guys would want to, I can start recording our online casual nights for footage.

Posted

I thought he meant vids from previous tournies we had. I already have the playlist made. You could just do stuff with those perhaps. Too bad all of MTN's best stuff had Tager in it.

Posted

That's really unfortunate, but I doubt it has anything to do with his contributions to the fighting game community. Hopefully people realize the poor guy's without his laptop and cell phone before they complain about his inability to record/stream.

Howdafuk does Homeland Security get off taking a gamer's equipment?

Also, yeah Jackie I just got that email and was coming here to post up.

Update on my condition: it's not something that happened last night, it just kind of knocked me down before I could take care of it, I guess. My revisit is in the morning and I wanna say I'm more or less fine, just super stiff. We'll see what happens in the morning.

Videos have not begun to upload I promise I'll try to start them tomorrow. I thought I had something else, but maybe not.

Don't worry about vidjas, Milln. I've conditioned the community to go long periods without them. :D *Shot*

Just get better soon man. We're all rooting for you. *Salute*

This is a bunch of BULL SHIT! But then again, America has been victim to watching the very liberties this country was founded on slip away for quite a while now. Can't say i'm all too surprised with the course of action at this point. All I can say is, good luck Spooky.

Sad about Spooky's shit.

Glad to hear you are doing better Milln.

Didn't mean to ignore you last night Naimat, my stick is missing buttons, so stuff like invites and re-making a room take me forever. I would have loved to play, no disrespect intended.

I'm really trying to go to Season's beatings. I have room for one passenger. I'm going for Gear and Vampire, but I'll play BlazBlue, too. I don't need a gas split or anything, but if you wanna go and chip in, I'm fine with that. It's a very good Gear learning oppurtunity, and also a chance to travel. Also, a chance to get destroyed by the beautiful Guilty Gear sisters. They are as legit as myself and Phil in GG, Traveling to events is why i'm so fucking cool, guys. Who wants to ride?

Gonna try out my new mic tonight on some BB.

Memphis: Thanks for coming, really guys! Hope you all got some good games in.

Posted (edited)

I'll look up dates and info and get back to you on that offer, it does sound pretty fun.

Edit: Tad I may go only if I can contribute something to the ride there. My incoviencing complex will kill me if I don't. Do you plan to stay all weekend or no?
