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

[Top_Cat]

I will be able to make it saturday :D. I won't have a lot of time for post-tournament casuals though.

[Jackie Chandler]

I'm legit on being able to make it, too. Was worried I might not have sufficient funds for gas and whatnot since my parents have been (understandably) stingy with funding my MTN habits, but I nailed a babysitting job for a few days this week that'll end up paying $75, so that'll be plenty. I messaged Star in hopes he lives close enough so we can work something out. For the record, if anyone lives close to I-40 between Cookeville and Antioch and won't be able to make it otherwise, I'll see if I can't give you a ride.

I have to admit, I'm proud of how the attendance has rose significantly since yesterday's count though. Hope to hear of even more attendees as time goes on. :D

[LastStarSaviour]

No one is saying anything bad about you, Star. You need to calm down.

Snipes, I can pick you up/take you back if you'd like to go.

Astaroth and Tad are legit.

@Billy, below: I haven't even been able to turn my 360 ON due to RadioShack working me into the ground, which I'll admit is partially my fault. You live in boro, though, don't you? If youre free after 9 we can play together at my new place.

Lol, I know Milln, just didn't want you to think I was bailing out on you guys. Trust me, if I could I would be there. You know I love hanging out with you crazy cats. I'll find a way to make it up to you guys for missing this MTN and the Mid-west championship next month. Really sorry again.

[Milln]

Why do you have to miss MWC, too man. Mystery game is gonna be ballin'.

@Jackie. Star lives in Clarksville. Clarksville is the opposite side of Nashville from you man.

[Grimstar]

that looks like every hitbox in mortal kombat

[Klein]

I always wondered, how many divekicks can you fit into one combo?

[Astaroth136]

You're only allowed one ground bounce in a combo, so doing two divekicks will result in an immediate tech, ending the combo. Divekick can hit a standing opponent though to stagger them, and it doesn't count as a ground bounce.

[LastStarSaviour]

Hopefully i'll get to see some vids of you guys throwing down at the first MTNBBCS2. *Holds back tears*

Play your hearts out for that star that couldn't make it this time around. I'll see you guys in July (If one is being thrown then)

I am pleased with the quick turnaround time. We're still on for this Saturday.

[Astaroth136]

Milln, Richard wants you to contact him. He can't remember his login info for Dustloop.

[Klein]

Snipe won't be able to come, I guess he left already, so he hasn't replied. But he'll be at some beach somewhere 'til Tuesday is all I know -_-

[Alphakami]

Lee, please bring that Ps2/Usb converter, I need to for Vampire Savior on GGPO.

Vampire is also amazing.

[Astaroth136]

OK, will do. Hopefully I won't forget.

[Milln]

Anyone interested in Mortal Kombat tourney? I know Eshi is. Not sure of where to place it in the time schedule

[Astaroth136]

I'm not, but I think Boomcube and Billy likes it. Mix them in with some of the arcade regulars and you should have at least an 8-man tournament.

mehhhh mortal kombat

[Astaroth136]

The breasts are too big for Midnight in MK. He prefers the little girl chesticles in AH3.

[Doromac]

I'm down and my friend plays mk.

[Alphakami]

I'm more interested in herpes than a MK tournament.

[Milln]

Mixed reviews, I see.

[Seiki]

lol MK: when Americans try to make a fighting game.

My issues with MK9:

*projectiles pass through each other

*blockstrings do chip damage

*combos do too much damage

*Xray does too much damage

*buffer system is too lenient, makes for a lot of unintentional inputs

*you can make several moves be reversals on wakeup with 8 frames of invul. some of them being relatively safe

*Several characters have a teleport which ruins the spacing aspect of the game to some degree.

*As the metagame progresses I see it boiling down to this: projectile game --> teleport in ---> blockstring----> jump away ---> rinse and repeat

As you can tell from the tier list already characters who don't have a projectile suffer greatly and those who don't have teleports also do but not as much as those without a projectile. Unless they do some dramatic changes the game will be flushed out in a year.
