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

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

Yup. I'm finally heading out, and me and some friends plan on moving down to Grovetown sometime in August.

[ZomB]

There's a decent scene in Augusta (mostly AE/UMVC3, but that's everywhere) but they do have some players who play Guilty Gear, Persona, etc and I'm up there once a month for their monthlies.

[Jackie Chandler]

Those new logos look great. Props to your friend for making them, Milln.

Then this isn't your last year in Tennessee- it's your last HALF year. D: VOLPE DON'T GOOOOOOOOO

Also, instead of practicing today like I should, I took the time to make you guys this Blazblue words of wisdom image. I think it'll really speak to you.

[Seiki]

How the fuck can Jin cross his legs like that without nut cracking his testicles?! What a fucking fag.

[Milln]

I have a Mario Tennis setup at KiT.

We can have money matches and/or a tournament if people show up early enough.

I did this for you guys.

[Jackie Chandler]

I will not be entering Guilty Gear today. I tried practicing with my stick last night by taking Ky into Arcade Mode. It did not fare well. The stock stick in it felt so, so different from what I was practicing with last Saturday, and my execution was absolutely balls on it. So after losing twice to Sol (he's the second to last fight in Arcade Mode as Ky), and reading his win quote (something along the lines of "Now you know the limitations of your abilities), I took that as a sign that maybe I should try practicing with pad instead. So I played him with my 360 controller, and managed to barely win the first try. Boss I-No, on the other hand, was a different story. Now, I'm no noob to how she works- I'm aware of her patterns, and I know how to handle her random projectile supers. I just couldn't get hardly any of my specials to work when I needed them, especially when it came to DPs (and you guys know how much of a handicap for me that is ). Seven failed attempts later, I somehow managed to best her, but it left me extremely discouraged and frustrated. I can't compete in a game where I'm automatically at a disadvantage just because of my means of control. Last night, I was fighting my lack of competence in using stick, and the game's shitty ass input detection with 360 controller more than I was any opponent- and that was in Arcade Mode on Normal Difficulty. I'm sure you all can imagine how much worse it would be in a tourney setting.

But anyway, I'll be heading up with Papstr and tret_tree at about noon. We should be at the venue a little bit after 2. See you guys then!

[Milln]

Milln: Jackie, I can feasibly run guilty gear on ps2 or ps3 if that would help.

Jackie: Nah, don't worry about it I'll be fine, it's not a big deal I have stick practice and it felt good.

Milln: alright, 360 it is.

Jackie: *above post*

Sakurai: -laughs-

Iwata: -laughs-

Mori: -laughs-

Milln: *laughs*

Input issues aside, GG's CPU'll put the fear o' God in ya..

[Top_Cat]

I did not know there was an mtn today I also won't be able to go to FR

[M.i.E. Dax]

Sorry I wasn't able to come to KiT, didn't wake up in the best of health this morning and I wasn't about to drive for 3 hours feeling like this.

I dunno, Midnight, we've been talking about this for a while, now, off and on. If you'd check the thread of the community you belonged to regularly, then you'd know what we're doing when we're doing it. You don't have an excuse for not know that there was a tournament. /onblast /StillLoveYou /ImNotMad

Sorry I wasn't able to come to KiT, didn't wake up in the best of health this morning and I wasn't about to drive for 3 hours feeling like this.

It's cool, Dax. Everyone missed you, even the Memphis guys. Get some more rest and drink fluids and you'll be back up to par in no time.

[DeathNapalmx]

Sorry to nag about this guys, but is there anyone else who's interested in my event? I still need to know so I can set up brackets and whatnot.

[Klein]

Sexy tournament, Mellis gimme your number, Milln I'm picketing your Klein x Zega OTP, Papstr I want to double penetrate you with Thackston, Midnight you a bitch, Jeckie learn how gifts work, Mellis I love you, Mellis Spider-man has an unquestionably great ass, Mellis hi, Wes if you played Slayer we'd play the same characters across the board and be the same person, come up here more often because we love you.

Hi Klein you sexy manbeast :D

Moving on, my birthday is coming up on the 8th which is a Friday,. I'm not terribly into celebrating birthdays, but I am very into having excuses to get people together to eat food and play games, so a gathering at my place in Murfreesboro can be a thing if people want to come eat food and play games.

I'd be up for that permitting I can get a ride to/from. Also PM me your number, I wanna sext you images of my penis.

[Thackston]

Last saturday was fun stuff, Im going to be heading back to the lab to get better. Klein and papstr I would be all in for that, if you know what I mean. Mellis, thanks for letting me borrow your stick, I owe ya one. I may come in town this weekend, idk though. Shoutouts to you guys, milln for being awsome, jackie chandler for making me think the cross slash was the only thing yu had, and phil for being korean.

UPDATE: I am making an MTNG playlist and soundtrack, of the girliest most homosexual I can find, more later.

I just need to grow my beard out a bit more, and people would call us twins! (kidding, I like my goatee) :o

And I was just caught on the price point this time, I'ma try my hardest to whatever shows up next. Through many gimmick filled games with the Cookeville crowd, my Faust is slowly become a force to be noticed just before being rolled over and cast aside. <3

[Klein]

I actually meant the other Minion named Wes, but it's good to know you'll be back.

[Mr.Minionman]

... >_>

This is too confusing.

[tret_tree]

He's referring to the Skeletal brand of Minion, man.

I learned quite a lot this past Saturday; this has easily been the best event (partly) involving the MTN group that I've been to. In tourneys before now, I hadn't really had a prolonged opportunity to play much beyond tournament matches, but this time there were more casual setups and I was able to play a lot of Gear.

Thanks to the May player (whose name I forget) who convincingly bodied me in a tournament match, then gave me some excellent advice on the vs May matchup. I also think I found the Robot tutorials you were referring to, which have been immensely helpful thus far.

Thanks to Klein for all the fun vs Slayer matches. The things Slayer can do still freak me out somewhat, but I feel a bit more comfortable playing against him.

Thanks to Phil for playing a bunch of casual matches with me despite the skill difference (my ass feels like a pincushion, lol). They gave me a perspective on what I should expect the other player to be capable of doing in different matchups I was unfamiliar with, and exposed a lot of my unsafe play.

Sorry to Milln for the awkward interview. Like I said, it's difficult for me to give a complicated answer to a simple question that's okay for documentary purposes and on the spot like that. I tend to freeze up in those kinds of situations. :C It was cool to hang out at your house later on, though I'm going to try to forget what happened after you went to bed(snrk).

Papstr, ...keep being Papstr.

Chandler, thanks for pushing me to get out of my comfort zone and ask people that terrify me to play casuals.

GGs to Naimat, getting a perspective on the Johnny matchup was very useful. Hearing you say my frame work and fundamentals were okay really made my day.

I know I've got a lot to work to do on Robot, though, particularly as it pertains to making my pressure and damage more efficient. 2K 2S 2D is completely see-through after a while, and there's better damage to be had elsewhere, too. I'll be trying to play GG as much as I can between now and next meeting to smooth things out.

[Milln]

So tired. I might've even gotten a little sick, which is impossible.

Hella good stuff to Star and Jackie for taking first and second. Yay I got third. All MTNG top 3 let's go. I watched our matches on replay and it is apparent we've all stopped playing for two months. Lots of drops and input accidents. I had a blast running stuff and being in the command center, Kumite was lots of fun and I

am

really

tired.

I just want to go to sleep. I'm sorry. Next MTNG is February 16th, we're going to Final Round in March. Make sure you pre-reg, i'll see about some housing or a hotel.

I needed Sunday off to recuperate.

You guys need to go to this, especially Cookeville crowd since you're closest.

[Vandy]

Hey Milln thanks for running the tournament and for providing all that equipment for us.

Thanks to everyone else for coming out and playing!

[Anne]

If anybody from Murfreesboro is going to the Chattanooga event I can ride with I'd def be there.

[ZomB]

I already talked to Milln about this, but I'm hosting casuals on next Saturday and Sunday(Feb. 2nd and 3rd), any of you are welcome to come down for a portion/all of that and welcome to stay here. I live in Marietta, GA about 1.5 hours south of Chattanooga.

I plan on attending the Chattanooga tournament and then heading home and starting the casuals. Likely folks in attendance include Ivysaur, Eshi etc. The usual GA folks. There should be some KOF too (but I don't really play it much), and probably some Blazblue at some point. I'm always up for Melty too but I don't know how much of that will happen.

So on top of this incredibily generous offer, it isssss my birthday on that Tuesday. I have no qualms towards using it to guilt-trip people in to coming.

tldr: come to casuals at my place or you hate me

Milln mentioned he might come on Sunday maybe some of you can carpool with him and split gas!

Edit/Note: Was any of KiT Persona recorded somewhere?

Edit/Note2: Weird logistic, but I guess I can give anyone at the Chattanooga tournament a ride to my place if you can find some sorcery to get you home(If Milln confirms Sunday that might be a possibility)

Edit/Note3: If you are considering coming out but have some question about something or need some sort of special allowances send a PM.

[Anne]

I'm down to come do things if I figure out a way around this weekend, I need as much practice as I can get x_x (So many bad confirms). If Milln does end up going on Sunday I might take you up on the carpooling offer if that's cool.

All of KiT Persona (Like, every single match) was recorded on twitch.tv/DPonWakeup
