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

[Astaroth136]

You must have stayed in a two-person room (275 sq. ft.). A 3-4 person room (350 sq. ft.) costs as much as Midnight said. There's no difference in the amount of beds or anything, though. Just the room size.

EDIT: For some reason, a "three-person room" is $103 a night, as opposed to the $113 for a "four-person room." There's absolutely no difference in the room size or amount of beds. Just sayin'.

Ah, gotcha. Never even thought of that.

@ Milln: If you can drive me home on the 28th, I'll gladly go out and eat with you guys after tournament time. New executive chair easily breaks down (the tall back taken off) so it can fit in any vehicle. I know you're bringing a lot of setup stuff that day though, so if you can't, just lemme know.

[LastStarSaviour]

So i'd need about 200 to have everything covered for Final Round? Regardless of how many people are going with us? This may be possible for me, if I can get a ride and just help to pay for the gas. Someone let me know what's possible.

[Eshi]

I sure hope I don't regret this xD But I'm gonna post this here anyway. If some people want a place to stay for final round and have trouble affording it, I am offering my place up for crashing. I live about 20 minutes from the venue and have lots of space, an extra bed, guest bathroom etc. Just make sure that my boyfriend doesn't kill me for doing this.

[Jackie Chandler]

Hey guys, if you were going to take the Megabus to Final Round, let me know. I think I may have just scored some free tickets from Nashville to Atlanta. Of course, the tickets I have are limited, so shoot me a P.M. if you want one ASAP. They'll be first come, first serve.

[Milln]

I will be happy to take you home on the 28th, Astaroth. All my setup stuff should fit in the back seats and/or around your chair in the trunk. Come on out to eat with us!

@Final Round: Yes 200 would cover hotel, entry for four games, and divided travel charges. 160-190 would cover if we took the bus like Jackie has acquired. It's up to you guys whether we bus it or take our own vehicles, but you all need to come to a consensus.

I have received no pms thus far about who is going to Final Round and has already registered. Do not wait until last minute, i cant do anything for arrangements until i get these pms, I may not be able to get us a hotel room if you do. In which case I'd be calling Sir Eshi and imposing on living space. What a gracious person he is.

[Papstr]

Now that I think, I'm already planning a fairly expensive trip this summer with some friends. Attending Final Round as well would just be too costly for me. Maybe next year :/

[LastStarSaviour]

I haven't pre-registered yet because I was basing whether i'd be able to go on my ride situation (I can dish out the expenses for me accompanying anyone in their car). So yeah, whether you guys want to ride bus or drive i'll be down. Also, if Eshi is really willing to open his doors to us i'd be fine taking a spot on the floor.

[Top_Cat]

I'm cool with riding the bus if it'll save money, and if eshi's willing to let us stay at his place, that's really cool too.

@milln- I'll pm you this weekend about my FR status.

[Seiki]

Yeah I'll have an answer by this weekend as well, Milln.

[Jackie Chandler]

Same here Milln. And I know this is kind of changing the topic, but has anybody talked to Tad recently? Do we know if he got back from Europe all right and whatnot?

[Milln]

He was there on 7th for the KOF tournament. He had just gotten back and he is great and rockin' out. I imagine he's still busy, being Tad, but yes he is back, intact, a baller, and still really good at video games.

[Jackie Chandler]

Ah, good to hear. I imagined he was just busy- it just occurred to me today that he hasn't said anything here in a while, so I thought I would mention it.

[Lichling]

Our 3 person team is coming all the way from Southwestern VA to try and take you guys on in February.

(Which we will probably fail due to our lack of experience with the arcade setup.) BUT NO MATTER.

But seriously, we are looking forward to fighting all of you guys and hopefully participating in tournaments whenever we can!

If you would please add us on Xbox live so we can play you guys! (Anyone who is involved with the Antioch tournament)

Our Xbox Live account that we play on together is ruawizard.

(We are all decent, our best player is a Tager, I am a Lambda and the guy who owns the account is a Hazama. We're all pretty much neighbors.)

I'll probably be on after I wake up so let's play a few matches guys.

Can some of you TN guys send me your numbers. Sorry my XBL account expired & I haven't updated it there. Milln, Lee & Chandler etc.

Awesome. Middle Tennessee Needs Out-of-Staters. :D Just a few things, though- the first (and probably the most important to you) is that there won't be a February MTN. Our T.O. is pushing the community to go to Final Round instead, since he probably realizes going to two tournaments within a week of each other simply wouldn't be doable for the majority of us.

The next is that we play on console set-ups. Even though MTN's are held in or close to an arcade, that arcade has never had anything more than a Calamity Trigger cabinet as far as Blazblue is concerned. So feel free to use your control scheme of choice, as long as it's for the 360.

And lastly, I'll shoot you a Friend Request ASAP. I'm always interested in seeing what new people have to offer. :] I'll be busy until Sunday though, so hopefully I'll be able to catch you guys on some time after that. Oh, and just a fair warning- I love me some Astrals. Just sayin'. >:3

Of course. Hope you get that account back soon though. :<

[Lichling]

COOL. Thanks Jackie, where is the Final Round located and when?

And just so you know I've seen a few of your astrals, I AM QUITE THE FAN OF YOUR NEED FOR ULTIMATE CARNAGE.

I always TRY to astral, I get it more than most Lambdas I've seen and have practiced psyching people out into it, not like you'd care..you'd just INFERNO DIVIDER all over my face if I try.

Ragna astrals got it easy! :P

[Jackie Chandler]

Final Round is located in Atlanta, Georgia, and the tournaments will be from March 2nd - 4th. You can read up about it on Dustloop here: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?11286-FINAL-ROUND-XV-March-2-4-2012-quot-The-15th-Aniversary-quot

Muhahahaha. Excellent, a fellow comrade in Astrals. :3 Lambda's is surprisingly underused IMO. Since it's a command grab that comes out in one frame after startup, if your opponent hasn't already done something to put them in the air or in invincibility by the time you use it, they're screwed. If you get good at timing it, there's no limit to all the things you could punish with it. :D But you're right, Ragna's Astral is easily the best in the game IMO. It has a bajillion invincibility frames, you can combo into it from pretty much anything, and the animation is so deceptive on blockstun that most people don't know how or when to punish it. :P

[Alphakami]

Woot! My computer blew up right when I got back. The KOF tourney was too much fun. Lee I wish I could have stayed to watch you beast.

Next weekend gonna be fun, looking forward to playing alot of KOF, VSAV, BB, and such.

Lee, It's looking like I'll be buying SC5 soon. I'll bring those PS pads and a converter for ya next weekend.

Milln: I just now rememberd that I completely forgot to respond to your text. Seems like you guys got that worked out tho.

Final Round is iffy for me at the moment. Work has blown up since i got back. I have to work pretty much every saturday. Well, I don't but I get 4 hours of x2.5 pay scale multiplier and on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays, I get another 2 hours of x4.0+ SUPER BONUS DENSETSU GAIDEN, so yeah. I have to miss that for Final Round. I'm still going to try to go.

Jackie, congrats on the SRK front page video. I only yearned to make the Valk one alot sillier. Good stuff.

[Jackie Chandler]

How ironic- electronics usually blow up when you go TO foreign countries, not when you get back. :P And thanks Tad. I wish I could have improved the Valk combo myself- I just had to end the combo with Tager on the ground and still be able to combo into the Astral, and I couldn't figure out how to do it. D:

[Milln]

Okay I was going to respond with quotes but my phone can't handle it with low battery power.

FIRSTLY: Congrats to everyone that joined th fight about Sopa and Pita. The protest was a success.

@New Out of Staters: You guys are ballers. We'll see you at Final Round, maybe? If not we will definitely have a MARCH tournament on the last Saturday for Extend. Hit me up on xbl, even though I'll prolly be playing KOF on local versus. I'd love to talk to you guys. Also don't encourage Jackie's Astrals, haha.

@Kyle: Pm sent.

@Jackie: thanks for responding quickly while I was too busy to check my phone.

@Everyone: I won $300 worth of Sears gift cards through my business and used it to buy another tv. 24" LedLcd for setups, bros. There is no excuse for not bringing -at least- your console. Especially since we're in the MWC Room, we need to max out on setups. Bring tv's bring consoles bring games or I will shake my head at you.

My tv is crap, but I have a console, happy to bring it if I can get out there.

If only people took as much notice of the NDAA and EEA.

[Lichling]

None of us know what the Final Round is. :S

Sounds intimidating.

[Milln]

Final Round is one of the major National fighting game tournaments in United States. It takes place in Georgia. Lots of hype and lots of strong competition.

[Seiki]

Sup VA peeps, my xbl is under my name hope to see you guys online or in march or maybe final round.

Kyle, Milln Sent you both pm's with info.
