EDIT: First post updated with Results of all games held at Ignition: Summer Skool'd Event!

Congratulations to Chosen Ninja for taking first place in P4A, and Grant for 3rd! I took second this time. Also Congratulations to BlackSNAKE for placing first in GG, along with Oliver for 2nd and Nives for 3rd. The GG tournament was pretty hype and I can't wait for the next one.

FYI: I added links to Twitter accounts to make it easier for new players lurking onto Dustloop to find a specific player they want to talk to via Twitter. I know some of us don't use this thread often to discuss meet ups so, to make thing run smoother, I did this. If you have a twitter account or have made one, let me know here and I'll add it to the player base.

Also, if you're not in the player base, drop your info in the proper format and I'll add you to it.

Leaning towards September 7th for the next BADC, any chance of Chicago making it? It's the weekend before The Fall Classic. If the date doesn't work let me know~

I don't see anything preventing me from showing up. I think the usual cast of characters would be happy to make it as well.

shoutouts to me for being super godlike and gatekeeping almost the entirety of CEO. Is there a gatekeeper award somewhere?

Sup guys. I had fun going to Game Pazzo, for the first time, yesterday. It was cool to play some P4A with some of you (Grant, Nyfe, Wiredgod, etc).

I like that the Chicago P4A scene is very active, and I plan on coming back frequently :)

Yes sir! We've been active since release and have kept it going since. Hope to see you and others come out a bit more often, we love seeing fresh faces playing the game. Glad you enjoyed yourself and sorry for missing out on meeting you, I was at Anime Midwest that day, now I'm sad I didn't go to the montly :(

Also, congratulations to Nobodyexe placing 4th at CEO last weekend, good stuff man, you gate-kept Florida! Get those EVO points bro!

Also, don't forget Tonight is the Monday Night gathering at Ignite Gaming Lounge! It's the last Ignite before EVO so this is your chance for some last minute grinding! Let's keep at it as the days come to a close!

EDIT: For players that do not have their data on the roster, if you would like to be added onto the front page, please list your data as it is on the first post and I will add you to it. Also, if you're data is outdated, inform me so I can make the proper changes. Thanks!

Yesterday I think some fighting game mechanic knowledge finally clicked in my head. It might seem obvious, but sometimes words stated in a different way will finally make sense. My revelation: Here's how character by character matchups should be broken down:

1) What are my tools to approach my opponent at different distances and how can my opponent counter them? How can I alter my approach to avoid that counter?

2) Once I have the enemy on the defensive, what are my tools to continue damage and pressure? How can my opponent counter them?

3) What tools does my opponent have to approach me and how can I counter them?

4) What are my tools to get out of an enemy's pressure and how can he counter them?

FGs don't break down into a flowchart perfectly, but putting these answers down into an itemized list either in your head or on paper seems instructive and would help your playing tendencies.

          Hi. I've been lurking on DL and intermittently playing fighters online. Since I'm finally back in Illinois, I figured I would stop in at live meetups, and try to actually get some real experience with fighters. The local scene at my college is extremely laid back, and I just don't feel like I'm going anywhere.

          So yeah, I'm hoping to show up a few times at Ignite and Piazzo during July and August before I go back to school. I'm pretty scrub, so I'm hoping to learn something from the experience. I'll admit to having something of a temper, so I'll do my best to keep cool.

          I won't be able to go to the Piazzo Saturdays until August, but I can go to Ignite pretty much any Monday until I leave. Is there going to be a meeting there this Monday?

          I might be bringing a friend as well, though that might depend if people play anything besides fighters at these events, since he doesn't like long playsessions for a single game or genre.

I've been on and off with Blazblue, but I want to take it more seriously. I've been trying to sit down and learn, but it's hard finding people on XBL to play. I either get booted from I lobby, or if I go into ranked I get ravaged by superior players. Hopefully here I can find some help before I import BBCP from Play-asia in october lol.

Game Pazzo casuals are on Friday, not Saturday. There's usually a monthly tournament sometime on Saturday. People mostly are playing FGs, but I've seen some monster hunter and bomber man. There's always a good crowd of LoL people there.

Thank you for the correction. That actually makes attending much, much easier.

Sadly, as to my friend, he thinks LoL is the devil's game, and isn't a fan of Monster Hunter either. I'll still try and persuade him to come, but it seems pretty unlikely.

EDIT: I enjoyed my first visit to Ignite. It was a pretty slow night evidently, but I'm grateful for the matches I got to play.

Sadly, my friend probably won't be returning, for various reasons. I'll see if he'll give Piazzo a try on Friday.

All right guys, sorry for the late response but welcome to the thread! I got to meet most of you guys at events earlier and I'm liking the motivation from all of you. I updated the first post with the most recent update and tournament happening in Chicago. Get hype for Chicago Heart 5!

So I just went to pazzo for the first time ever and I've got to say it's pretty awesome to see this many FG players consistently meeting up, no lie I had no clue the anime community was this active. Hope to run tons more sets with you guys in the future.
