Me and Star were just talking about you today. =O

"We really are an anime. You have the last memento of Midnight, Star."

lol. Sorry for not keeping in contact. I've just had shit irl to deal with. I'm hoping to be active again starting Fall.

Thinking September 7th for the next BADC, how's that date work for Tennessee? It's the weekend before The Fall Classic, other than that it's pretty clear.

That seems likely for me. It just depends on the future if/when I go back to College, work, and all that BS. I'd love to attend though.

PARTICIPATION IN LOCAL TOURNAMENTS:

BlazBlue CP: If I like the game when I try it, possibly.

Guilty Gear: Absolutely. I will not rest until I have riot stomped the world.

KOF 13: All this talk of it is making me consider giving it another shot. Especially with all of my attention to SF4 lately, it's made me have an interest in non airdash fighters

Suguri X: Possibly

Other, please list: ABK side tournaments for the win plz.

WILL TRAVEL TO MAJORS TO PLAY IN TOURNAMENT OR PROMOTE MTNG. (Suguri's case would be to keep spreading it around until it gains traction)

Guilty Gear: Hell yes, wallet permitting

GENERIC INTEREST. CASUALS, BUT NO TOURNAMENT

BlazBlue CP: See above

Guilty Gear: Answer should be obvious

KOF 13: See above

Suguri X: See above :P

Other, please list: ABK the one true game.

Answers bolded in the quote.

Please give KOF another shot Papstr. I think you will like the more aggressive footsies over SF's and also you can jump in KOF. Plus I'll help teach you (and anyone else) the game.

Would you guys rather have a tournament or filler episode for July? EVO is this month, it would be the perfect time for a filler episode if this were an anime. O=

But if you want a tournament, i'm down for that, too! Either way it'd be the last weekend of July.

Get a Skype so we can all talk bro.

I wouldn't mind learning more about this game. With my new stick, combos aren't impossible anymore, so learning how to actually play comes next.

Is there actually an MTNG skype group now? If so, mind if I get in on this?

Indeed there is! We've had it for about a month now, I think.

Add me on Skype (WoZscreamer) and I'll add you to the group.

Cross post from AL & GA anime game Facebook groups. What do my Tennessee bros think?:

-----------------------

Interest check:

I spoke with Shin Blanka previously about featuring Guilty Gear at FRBats now that they were coming back, even if it was limited to a side tourney. I even offered to run the tournament or personally fund a pot bonus. Unfortunately, this doesn't look like it's going to happen.

So, it looks like I'll be taking matters into my own hands. I said before that I intended to revive Guilty Gear in the South by whatever means necessary, and if I have to organize a tournament it to happen, then so be it.

This is what I currently have in mind:

- One Saturday a month

- Location (not actual venue, but geograpically/regionwise) TBD. If people could post where they'd be coming from or has an idea for a rough whereabouts for the town/city/area to hold the tourney in, please post.

- Guilty Gear, Persona, Darkstalkers, Blazblue, Melty, etc. Whatever. Anything anime. If you want to see your game played, post it, and it will be there. IDGAF if the turnout is you + your feet controlling a second joystick; if you want it there, I will try my damnedest to make it happen. This is a tournament FOR the anime community BY the anime community, not the typical "Oh, well I /guess/ we can fit you into the janitor's closet at 7am..." crap.

- Tentatively $10 venue, $10 per game. I will try my best to strike a balance between venue rental and what people can afford.

- What do you dislike about tournaments? What do you like about tournaments? Let me know here. I will strive to accommodate.

The "traditional" FGC has been downplaying anime fighters for too long. P4A has 400+ entrants at Evo and amazing international turnout, yet it was still banished to the "Friday only" time slot and the EVO committee is shrugging it off like they do every year, radiating bias like EVO is "MARVEL 'N' STREET FIGHTER: THE TOURNAMENT (........and some other games we don't actually care about)." Well fuck that. If they want to treat the superior subgenre of fighting games like we're lepers, then let's have a goddamn leper colony tournament. I'm tired of seeing us huddled up in a side room while objectively bad games like Marvel get top billing because a bunch of people who don't know fuck all about fighting games get "hype" when watching it from their living, i.e., stream monsters. I'm gonna be blunt here, but that shit is manufactured imitation hype, and it sucks. We don't need whatever tablescraps their "generosity" affords us.

Got a suggestion? Post it. I'm all ears.

I'm 100% down to play in a P4U tournament in ATL, I'm getting my nerves in check. I'd like to play CC and MB, but don't take just my word, gauge interest on both those games beforehand.

Edit: Also, as long as I know ahead of time you can ask me to bring sa set up for just about anything.

You seem really insulted by the big organizer heads refusing to cooperate with you, Skel. Lemme ease that.

I will be happy to work with you any way I can. You already have my phone number, send a text and we'll see what's possible! You guys come up here all the time, it's only fair to treat you guys to the same. I also recognize that we "already have a good thing going on" and it's very accessible for everyone in the Middle Tennessee area. However, i'm not pompous enough to decline something like you are offering when you're just as much MTNG as we are, in my opinion.

We've already briefly talked it over in the Skype chat and we all support your movement, just hit me up.

Skeletal Minion I will come for Gear and BB. I would like KOF to be part of the lineup.

For those of you who don't frequent the Skype chat, MTN's having a Fourth of July party in Cookeville at the Baymont Inn and Suites off I-40. BE THERE. OR BE A SQUARE.

Fuck yeah! Thanks for your support guys :D I let Bama and GA know as well, and their responses were similar. Honestly, I think the sentiment I expressed is one many members of the anime FGC can relate to--someone just needed to say it.

THE SOUTHERN ANIME SCENE HAS SPOKEN. LET'S ROCK! But for now... LET'S PLANNING! Milln, I'll be hitting you up about this later, possibly as early as this weekend.

Also:

"Thanks for the support everyone! The TN and GA scenes were similarly receptive to the idea. It's official: Project "Airdash Armageddon" is underway.

I'll be posting here for feedback and discussion as more details become known. If there are any suggestions you'd like to make, PLEASE post! I will be taking literally everything into consideration to make this the best anime tournament I can make it. Not to please sponsors or armchair tourneymen, but for THE PLAYERS.

Thanks again!"

Love this.

I'm definitely down for this, and if MTN starts carpooling down I'll do my best to make it too. I'd love to see some love for Darkstalkers and Melty Blood.

I GOT MTNG RADIO BACK! The Final Round Trip Home!

Somehow they synced to my external hard drive. I must've put them there and then forgot about it. I have 3 segments and the rest is uncropped. I'll work on it some over the next few weeks~~~

Awesome, I'll be looking forward to it~. And OH SHIT 11:34.

If anybody does end up doing anything, make sure to post it in here instead of just using the Skype. This moves slower and is way easier to keep track of anyways.

Something that I had come across on the Dream Cancel forums:

Had Kane317 and MetaAbe help me create a chart for newcomers or even people who want to pick up new characters to help in deciding just that.

-THIS IS NOT A TIER LIST-

Notes while viewing the chart:

-I decided that Flame along with Beni are not higher on the technical chart because they do not need INFINITE LOOPS to win a match.

-Joe is on top because he basically needs the STUN COMBO to win most of his matches due to the lack of tools given.

-Flame is easier to use compared to 13 Iori because 13 Iori has a more difficult time getting the damage in (still not too difficult compared to other characters hence the placing on the chart).

http://www.mmcafe.com/tiermaker/kof13/index.html?tc=ya0-trm5bkmkbvkvd4fhfratgmo14ak4etht83ozjzmc7xku8pn8gnkv2w8gffkt7qk5bchqdhnbdto182as9ulna8hseph0buk0fuccd4f85tn9i9dvhbkvbsce81hwi8f931ku5tm4dymh6ilo9b-bkc-naReynald%27s+USer+Guide

I agree with most of this, and it looks like a good resource for the plethora of Tennesseans looking to get into KoF13. Also I got permission to work on Vice's Dream Cancel wiki page ^.^ http://dreamcancel.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vice_(XIII) If any of the people who do play KoF want to look at it, and maybe suggest something I'd appreciate it. Someone else put in the move descriptions which are all a bit weak/inaccurate, but I've mostly finished my work on her combo choices, and I'm hoping to add details in later.

Happy birfday, Chandler. :toot:

Shhhhhh, nobody's supposed to know. :P (Thanks for the birfday wishes, though~.)

Also, it's been so long since I've seen/heard from you. D: You should join us in the MTN Skype chat!

Quick question do will Chaos Code be there?

There's been a lot of interest in MTN recently, so I'm sure people would play with you in friendlies if you showed up. But as far as tournaments go, I don't think it's on the lineup yet. Milln tries to put a lot of the games that have the most players on the lineup, so if you'd like to support Chaos Code in a tournament setting, you should show up and play games with us some time! Do you live in Tennessee?
