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

[Mr.Pickle]

So yeah...sorry I didn't make it to this one guys, I'll come to the next one for sure though.

[Eshi]

sorry I didn't show up. The friend I was going with bailed out late friday night so it looked like I was going alone again and it's just too much money to do that.

Which is exactly my point. The game revolves around teleports and projectiles. Projectiles beat teleports and teleports beat non projectile approaches. As far as teleports being unsafe as long as someone throws out an attack or tries to establish some offense the opponent's teleports are practically safe because I haven't seen a character with an attack that has a hitbox behind them. And teleports are especially safe when you use the ex versions for some which has super armor.

I've been avoiding this conversation but you have no idea what you're talking about. At all.

[Astaroth136]

SHOUTOUTS!!!

Milln - You come first of course. Thanks for the surprise quarter-fest. I think we can all say we had a blast hanging out in the arcade. Also, great job on another successful tournament and for the overabundance of tvs.

Tad - Glad you could finally make it up. Always fun hanging out with you and playing CS2 and MvC3. That Noel was destroying me in our last casuals.

Chandler - WE FINALLY PLAYED AFTER THREE MONTHS! Haha. Good matches, and thanks for taking the burden of recording.

Midnight - Tager's day finally came. The matchups were tough, but they were a lot of fun. GG's. And now you know the secret to 6A... lol

LSS - Dat Noel! It was crazy watching you play CS2 Noel. You were pulling off all sorts of 5k-6k combos. For the first time ever, we didn't have to play each other in the tournament. We'll get some matches in at MWC.

Doro - You had to INSTANTLY fight me in both tournaments. But hey, it was good experience. We'll play more over XBL.

Papstr - Glad you and Kain made it out. LOL @ our Plat talk. "Yeah, she has easy combos." *Fails at her challenge mode*

Naimat - Well, you still made it for casuals. Thanks for accurately predicting my win over Midnight. GG's in casuals.

Volpe - PLAY MORE GAMES WITH US! Did you enter anything yesterday?

Klein - Haku scares me with his 10ft long weapon. I think if you kept Tager out instead of rushing in, you'd win the matchup easily. GG's in the tournament.

Grimstar - WTF? Where were you yesterday?!

See you all at MWC in a month!!!

It's all good. Tager took first place. lol

And yeah, that's Seiki aka Optic aka Naimat aka Saltmaster. He's very opinionated and usually sees his opinions as definitive truth. You'll get used to it.

[Klein]

Shoutouts!

Milln - For hosting a great tournament, giving me food, giving away quarters, giving away beat downs in Suguri and playing some epic games of DDR. Good games sir.

Tad - You gave me a ride out there, convinced me to play Vampire Saviour and to buy a PS360, someday I'll learn GG so I can get beat like the scrub I am by two different Kys in one day. Thank you very much.

LSS - For beating me 7-0 before the tournament even started (Noel is good now, WTF?) and for talking about horror games/anime and being a cool guy. Good games.

Volpe - Dude, Hakumen mirrors are so good now, when you get your ps3 fixed we should play some CS online, good games. Gantz man... Such a crazy series.

Papstr - Thanks again for letting me borrow your stick! Sometime we'll have to get a match.

Astaroth - For remaining undefeated vs me, good games, you always outskill/mindgame me . I can't say I have much experience with the Tager matchup, so the temptation to keep you from Voltic Charging is really rough, gotta get some more casuals in sometime so I'll stop getting techtrapped every time you score a knockdown.

Jackie - Ragna has a dp AND an antiair, I'll remember that little tidbit next time. Trying to zone a rushdown character as Hakumen is always fun, good games.

Anyone else - My memory is bad, good games?

[Milln]

I was too busy to do these last time so....

SHOUTOUTS!!!

Astaroth: Goooooood job on taking the victory! TAGUH POWAAAHHHHH !! I'm thoroughly convinced that you won because I sang the MacGyver theme during lunch and it inspired you to use the power of science to make magnets out of your entire body and grab people. I saw you running people over with electric trucks, too. This is approved.

Klein: Look at that Klein. That's a good Klein, there. Pretty good Klein. Thanks for playing Suguri, i'm glad it's such a hit. Addicting, eh? Anyway, good job on slapping me with Hakumen's popsicle stick. Next time I promise i'll play the game at least -once- before the tournament day and maybe I won't scrub out so hard.

Midnight: I really didn't mean anything by the "Ah, i'm just kidding, Midnight's not gonna win." quip. >,> MacGyver prevails! Too bad you had to take off, Steak N' Shake was a lot of fun. Playing TMNT was great. COWABUNGAAAAA Tough luck with lambchops, man. She's solid, just gotta slap people more.

Doromac: I was rooting for you and your third place man. You gotta aim high! Next time I wanna hear "F THIS SHIZ, I'M GETTING FIRST. F BOOM CUBE. F ASTAROTH. F EVERYONE. FIRST IS RIGHT HERE." THanks for the flyers, i'll be using the crap out of them to promote MWC. You should, too.

Papstr: COME ON BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Always cool talking with you, always cool playing with you. You got me this time! =O BUT NEXT TIME......... NII-SAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN

Kain: I'm really glad to see you into Suguri. Keep practicing with Kae, man, she's a monster. I'm convinced once you get her down and you make less mistakes and become less telegraphed with what your intentions are, you'll be a fine player. Need more 2A with Makoto. 2A.

Jackie: COME ON BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Play Suguri, you fgt. Good talks in Steak N' Shake and a very big thank you for recording like always and for helping carry stuff in and out. Double appreciation for taking over sign up responsibilities in my absence. I will not tell you what Mystery Game is.

Volpe & Star: For whatever reason, we didn't talk or communicate that much this time. Weird. Thanks for showing after all, you two. I incredibly appreciate it. DDR Doubles, man. I DIDN'T NEED YOU NOWAYS. Keep up the Noel and Haku. I want to see you guys place high at MWC and proceeding tournaments.

Tad: Epic sauce, man. Thanks for bringing setups and shiz and I'll bring your hat to MWC. I was really confused that you brought a GG setup and everyone went to play GG on the arcade cabinet with the quarters I gave out. Oh well, whatever. =O Good stuff on the DDR Machine, it's always cool to hang out with you, man.

Grimstar: WHERE YOU AT

Phil: Youse a boss. Thanks for showing just to be here and support, man. I do appreciate it.

Boom Cube: I'm glad you took a liking to Suguri. Great stuff on winning Mahvel. DAT WOLVY DAT MAGGY

Eshi: You're alright, man, don't worry about it. Would appreciate a text next time though. We were worried you got into a car crash or something when we didn't hear anything with the no show. D= Don't scare us like that, you're basically family.

Naimat: Saltmaster Funk. That sums everything I could possibly say. XD Thanks for showing up and thanks for the Marvel copy back. I now have three Marvel cases and no BlazBlue cases. I'm so confused.

Game Galaxy: For being awesome.

Everyone: I'm glad we've brought it this far, to six months. Let's keep it going!

Edit: Brackets are up.

[Grimstar]

I suck

[Top_Cat]

MTNG 6 rawr!!!

Milln- Awesome tourney yet again. Suguri is full of win. It was really cool that you gave us those quarters for the arcade, thanks man. Still no Midnight vs milln in the brackets. hmm............................................ lol

Astaroth- It had to come eventually lol. ggs as always. NEXT TIME I will not get eaten by 6a. Congrats man.

Laststar- I'm really going to have to brush up vs. noel. Great job, I think you're going to be a threat now.

Naimat- pssh where you at

Jackie- Cool talking to you as always. My psn is in my sig if you didn't remember it.

Everybody else- awwwwwwwwww <3

[Astaroth136]

I know what the mystery game is. Blame Richard (and no, he didn't tell me directly).

[Seiki]

If anyone has a spare copy of MvC3 or isn't playing it anymore and wishes to sell their copy, preferably cheap, I need a copy. Sadly, I like it.

[Doromac]

great tournament great experience

[Papstr]

Shoutouts:

Milln: What needs to be said that hasn't already? You take the time to run these events, and everybody appreciates it. Thanks for all of that. Keep it up. Also, the mystery game, SK? its Sneak King isn't it.

Astaroth: Plat's challenges are so easy! *fails challenge* Also, congrats on finally bringing down Middy!

Midnight: Hurrrr. Also, Rachel makes me cry. Instant overheads n shiz are tricky

Naimat: Stay salty.

Volpe: Good Haku, fun matches with you. Nice chatting with ya at lunch as well

Jackie: Fired Fired Fired. Good thing YOU still play Ragna. I watched your matches and instantly downloaded your comboes. When I returned home later than night, I was deadspike looping Kain! thanks!

Klein: You're free to borrow my stick anytime bud. Same goes for anyone else. Sharing is Caring <3

I love this community. Even though I never speak a word. Like, ever.

[Milln]

I know what the mystery game is. Blame Richard (and no, he didn't tell me directly).

Impossible. Richard does not know, and has nothing to do with Mystery Game.

Milln I'll make sure to bring your copy of MvC3 back. I don't even want to play MvC3 anymore, it ruins my fundamentals and makes me a worse BB player =(

If anyone has a spare copy of MvC3 or isn't playing it anymore and wishes to sell their copy, preferably cheap, I need a copy. Sadly, I like it.

Guys, i'm debating making a new thread for MWC or to keep it in here. Help me decide.

Edited May 30, 2011 by Milln

[Astaroth136]

MWC definitely needs a separate thread. It could grab the attention of surrounding Blazblue players.

Oh, and about the mystery game. I thought the initials were SF instead of SK.

[Jackie Chandler]

I have to say, this has been my most enjoyable MTN yet. I didn't play a lot of casuals, but I played the majority of the people who attended, and had a ton of fun in the arcade and Steak 'n Shake afterwards. Shoutouts:

Milln- I can't express my gratitude enough for all you do at MTN. It might sound silly/sappy, but MTN is really special to me, and I can honestly say it's one of the best times of my life. You really go above and beyond the call of other tourney hosts, what with supplying everything we need and more (free quarters come to mind). I had a fantastic time at MTN6 yesterday, especially in the arcade/Steak 'n Shake (TMNT, DDR, and Come On Baby especially), and can't wait to see what MWC has to offer next month... The mystery game included, even though I'm STILL convinced it's Snowboard Kids. :P Thanks again for everything, Milln. :D

Astaroth- Congrats on winning MTN6! I was really hyped to FINALLY play you this time, and even more hyped to see you working your way through losers to take the crown. :] I hope to see you perform just as well in MWC- but don't think I won't give you a run for your money then, especially since I know the secret to getting through Tager's 6A now. :3

Midnight- It didn't hit me until today that we never played yesterday. Uh... Can we just assume that you would have mopped the floor with me and/or air grabbed me to oblivion? XD Really though, I hope we can get some casuals in at MWC. Even though you didn't win, it was really cool and respectable seeing you play well with so many characters in the finals. I don't think enough people gave/give you credit for that. I hope to see you continue playing each character more, and the variety increase if not stay the same. :]

Tad- It was great to see you back at the tourney scene after so long! Congrats on getting fourth place- that's quite the achievement, especially considering you didn't have the advantage of knowing a lot of players' playing styles from being absent the past few tourneys. Keep up the great work with Valk, and Noel too if you decide to stick with her. :D

LSS- Congrats on beating Mr. 3rd Place, aka me! XP We already talked about it, but I figure that lands you somewhere around "fourth place" by default. :3 It was good to see your Noel improve, and not just because of the CSII changes. Don't count me out just yet though- I'll give you much more of a run for your money at MWC. You better count on it, and don't get knocked out before then!

Volpe- Volpe, did you make these? Haha, just kidding of course. I definitely agree that 2D sprites > 3D sprites. Still can't help but think you're wrong about Marvel though. Maybe we'll talk about it more at MWC... And actually play there. :P

Papstr- Good to see you back! We ALWAYS need more than one Ragna main at MTN- I can't do it all by myself. It's too much pressure. D: So. Be there for MWC, and practice that CSII Ragna. I expect good things from you, Papstr! P.S. Congrats on getting the first Astral of MTN6 (even if it wasn't a tourney match). :D

Kain- It was great having you back! MTN needs a TN Makoto main, so I'm putting that responsibility on you. You're now obligated to make it to every tourney from now on. :D Good games at MTN6- I hope to see you improve even more before MWC, and beat Eshi in a Makoto mirror there. *Salutes* Make me proud. :3

Klein- Haha, yep! Ragna has a "get out of every situation for free unless he's baited" card for everything. :P I still think you need to do more wake-up somethings instead of just blocking. Hakumen has counters and whatnot, so use those to your advantage. But yeah, good games, and it was fun in the arcade afterwards! Hope you can make it to MWC for even more shenanigans. :]

Doromac- I'm sorry, Doromac. I let you down. I beat you, and then I lost the next game. D: I won't let that happen next time. Next time, I'll beat you, and then I'll win the tourney, how about that? :D Haha, just kidding. Really though, that sucked. It was fun messing around in the lab with you a bit this time around, even if we didn't have any amazing discoveries, and it's great to see you can play so many of the game's cast. Keep up the good stuff in both Marvel and BB! I hope to see you perform well in both at MWC. :]

Phil- It was really, really fun having you back at MTN, and playing Guilty Gear with an actual person and a controller that didn't suck *coughPSPD-Padcough*. I'll see if I can't brush up my AC any and play you in some casuals using BnBs next time. :D

Naimat- Thanks for showing up for casuals like you said you would- it was fun to play you again with no lag. Sorry for giving our casuals the saltiest ending ever though. :P You better make it to MWC next month for the actual tourney portion AND casuals. No excuses. You still owe me some more matches as it is. :D

Eshi- What Milln said. It would have been cool to have you and your friend at MTN, but it's totally understandable why you weren't able to make it. Honestly, I was hoping to see what we were up against BEFORE MWC, but I guess we'll all have to deal with your S-Tier Makoto next month. :P

Grimstar- unamusedface.jpg.

Pickle- MTN wasn't as hype without you, Pickle. Nobody did any commentary or ANYTHING. D: Make it to MWC. We NEED hype and commentary, and there's only one guy I want to do it. :3

Everyone else- sorry if I forgot you. Just let me know I forgot to include you and I'll make a comment just for you. :D

Oh, and for everyone who wasn't at Steak 'n Shake, I think I'm going to bring Snowboard Kids 2 to the next MTN (not MWC) for people to play/try out. It's kind of like Mario Kart, except the bullshit isn't as bullshit, the OST is awesome, and it's genuinely fun to play with a group of four people. Unless it's received really well for some reason, I'll probably only bring it once and set it up to one of the extra TVs we seem to have. I'd still like people to give it a shot though. It's one of those games that defined my childhood and it's still fun to pick up and play every now and then.

[Jackie Chandler]

Wait a second...

I now have three Marvel cases and no BlazBlue cases. I'm so confused.

Guess what? I'm missing my Blazblue disk. T_T I'm sure it's related to the fact I can't find my MvC3 case, either, because I vaguely recall slapping it inside the MvC3 case when I was swapping them from my 360.

So if you have an extra copy of C.S. lying around, it's probably mine. XD Whether you do or don't, I'd be willing to trade you an extra C.S. case for an extra MvC3 case though, provided no one steps forward and claims one. :3

[Milln]

I'm sure that's what happened. I'll trade you at MWC man.

Edit: checked and I do actually have a 360 cs in one of those Mahvel cases.

Edited May 30, 2011 by Milln

[LastStarSaviour]

Do any of those MvC3 copies happen to be PS3? If so, it might actually be mine. It went missing a while back, I thought about bringing it up but never bothered (It"s Marvel so it was never that big of a deal, ya know?). Also, i'll do shoutouts later on today, don't feel like typing all that stuff up on my PS3 right now.

Edited May 30, 2011 by LastStarSaviour

[Milln]

I have three MvC3 --CASES--, not copies, Star. Sorry.

[LastStarSaviour]

Ah, no problem dude. Trust me, i'm really not that pressed to find it.

[Jackie Chandler]

I'm sure that's what happened. I'll trade you at MWC man.

Edit: checked and I do actually have a 360 cs in one of those Mahvel cases.

Yep, that's probably mine, haha. To be honest, I really only need one copy of C.S., so you can hold onto the disk for tourney purposes (MWC inparticular). I *would* like my Marvel case back, though, because it feels weird having it in my extra BB case. :P

[Eshi]

Eshi: You're alright, man, don't worry about it. Would appreciate a text next time though. We were worried you got into a car crash or something when we didn't hear anything with the no show. D= Don't scare us like that, you're basically family.

yeah, I know I should have posted something somewhere but I got lazy and forgot. I should know better than that.

Eshi- What Milln said. It would have been cool to have you and your friend at MTN, but it's totally understandable why you weren't able to make it. Honestly, I was hoping to see what we were up against BEFORE MWC, but I guess we'll all have to deal with your S-Tier Makoto next month. :P

I've actually switched to Tsubaki, for a couple of reasons. They have almost the same playstyle to me.

What's MWC?

[Astaroth136]

What's MWC?

Midwest Championship, hosted in middle Tennessee (Game Galaxy; same place you visited that one month) at the end of June. Milln should've put a thread up for it by now, but I'm sure work is eating him again.

[Milln]

.I've actually switched to Tsubaki, for a couple of reasons.

Hey, i've actually had some interest in Tsubaki, too. I always -liked- her, but never played her cause I had to work eighteen times as hard as anyone else to win..... to get my opponent to 30%. Now I feel like I can actually do something with Geordi la Forge jokes.

Milln should've put a thread up for it by now, but I'm sure work is eating him again.

Guess when I got left work the past two days. 10:30pm. Guess when I went in to work. 9 am. This is ridiculous. I almost want to change jobs.

Everyone needs to go here for the coming month and proceed to hype it up.

Edited May 31, 2011 by Milln

[Jackie Chandler]

Just made a post on the new MWC thread. Thanks Milln, I hope it grabs some attention and builds some hype.

Oh, and about the mystery game. I thought the initials were SF instead of SK.

You're not the only one wishing it were Shaq-Fu.
