Crimefighter Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Hey we start up under night weekys again but people keep not showing up to gga. As soon as we start get enough people we can start running brackets
BunniesFromHell Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Hey Chicago. I want to put some info out there on what's going on at Galloping Ghost Arcade. Apparently people are under the impression there were venue problems or that they stopped hosting us or something. Except that now we have a problem where people apparently thought it wasn't happening anymore and turnouts are low, that's actually the opposite of true! It's still 6pm - 2am Fridays, we have a stream running consistently now, heck, Tony's is even back to being 24 hours. We're even slated to maybe get a larger space to work with, depending on how GGA expands in the coming months.So what we were hoping to do was keep UNIEL going strong at GGA while Ignite is the "general purpose FGC" venue, and as far as anime goes, the Xrd venue, while also running LCL stuff at Ignite so GGA could be focused more on UNIEL. LCL stuff is pretty much done for the time being due to low turnouts, but I want to bring that back in some form later on. For right now the hope is to get UNIEL weeklies going at GGA, but until we get the turn-outs to start doing that, we've been running UNIEL FT5 Casual Showcases on the GGA stream at twitch.tv/gallopingghostarcade for the duration of time a tournament would take up (and then whatever we feel like because i mean, we're there to have fun and we like to bring out some silly games, too. Y'all know this). Step 2 of that plan is, once we can establish weeklies, I want to start running monthlies featuring way more than just UNIEL.What are you hoping to see out of your anime venue? Feel free to give us suggestions. Highlighting BB again might not be the worst idea in the world after all, so I've been considering that; it seems like it may have only really died because of Kokonoe, and then seemed dead afterward because of Xrd taking attention from it at the same time as turnouts declined in general.TL;DR:You can still come out to GGA to play anime.It's been mostly UNIEL-centric, but seriously if you want to come play another game, someone's gonna be there who will.Suggestions please, if we can make it more worthwhile for more people to come out, I'd like to know how.
Crimefighter Posted October 9, 2015 Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) We're starting the first in what is hopefully a series of monthlies at GGA! On the last friday of this month (October 30th) we'll be running what he're calling the season premiere of Galloping Ghost: The Animations1e1 "The Odd Essence of Otakutober"Official games to be run right now are just Under Night and Xrd, but if you'd like to play other games (+R? DFC? Arcana? Rivals? Trap Gunner?) just let me know here or on twitter or in in the google forum below and I'll see it. If there's a big enough demand/turnout we're open to running a few more games. And you are of course always welcome to bring your own set-up and run a side tournament or some casuals.Venue fee will be $5 as normal, tournaments will be $5 entry with payouts to top x depending on how big the bracket gets (I can give more concrete numbers once we have a better idea of what the turnout will be like).Exact times for tournament start/end are TBD for now, but expect it to be around the same time the normal time stuff starts at casuals (IE ~8/9)I've set up a google forum for people to put down what games they want to play. It's not necessary but it'll help us figure out what turnout will be like. Also if you fill this out and end up being a little late, we can keep you in the bracket and hold your matches a bit since we'll know you're on your way and we'll know what games you wanted to play. You can also use the forum to tell us to run something that isn't under night/xrd.https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1PgJUtsmttu3TxQMMkuIVP7PgNF8kR_UCH5QcFKzHT1g/viewform?usp=send_formIf you don't know where GGA is or how to get there remember that the first post is kept updated with info on casuals locations, but here it is again anywayGalloping Ghost ArcadeAddress: 9415 Ogden Ave, Brookfield, IL 60513Accessible via Aurora METRA, Stop is on Brookfield (1/3 Mile away from the venue)Also just so no one gets confused, I want to mention that this isn't a part of Ignite's Xrd ranbats and isn't a continuation of the ranbats we had at GGA last year, so it's not going to have an affect on those standings and those standings aren't going to affect this tournament Edited October 9, 2015 by Crimefighter

Crevox Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Good games to everyone I played with last night, and thanks to wiredgod for giving me a ride out there. Edited October 24, 2015 by Crevox
jellyrajah Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 (edited) Hey guys. Street Fighter / Melee player here looking to get into a new game. I just bought Guilty Gear Xrd and I was wondering if there's anyone near the Schaumburg (or rather, the Chicago west suburbs) area that wants to play some matches online or offline?

Crimefighter Posted November 1, 2015 Posted November 1, 2015 So GGA is currently undergoing renovations, construction started sooner than expected, hence the cancellation of the monthly, but the temp venue has been finished and since we ended up missing october we're moving the november monthly up to friday the 13th. In honor of the spooky date (and since the old name no longer makes sense) we're calling it "Galloping Ghost Stories". Because the new temp venue is smaller and has less space and less set-ups, we're not going to be able to do any tournaments beyond the main 2 (Under Night and Xrd). There should still be a little space for casuals, but I'm going to ask that no one bring a console unless I get in contact with them since space will be so limited (If you have a console that has most/all the big anime games and you're willing to bring it let me know via private message or twitter or something). Tournament will start at 8 (whichever game gets less entreats will start first) TLDR: November monthly set for the 13th, venue opens at 6, tournament starts at 8. Uni and Xrd. Here's the new pre-reg page : https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1oepNvKhuUg-_JCcbkh5u4bibFjd82oodTBjzNHA572Q/viewform?usp=send_form

Shinsyn also sometimes hosts xrd casuals at his place

Shinsyn also sometimes hosts xrd casuals at his place I've been wanting to hit ignite, but its a longer commute for me to make it a regular one. That being said, I'm really just dying to find people to play with and talk with about this stuff. I live with everybody I personally know that plays fighters, and I live alone.
Crimefighter Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 The December GGA monthly is set for friday the 18th. Under Night and Xrd tournaments, BB if space gets cleared. Venue opens at 6, Under night will start ~8 PM, Xrd will start afterwards. If you have questions leave them here or ask me on twitter.

Do you guys need consoles? My monitor is mounted and not mobile any more, but I can definitely bring my ps3 and/or ps4.
Crimefighter Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 You can bring a setup if you want but we should have more than enough Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk
Crimefighter Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Due to the GGA renovations taking longer than predicted, and since we really want to run Blazblue, we're changing the format of the monthlies. Instead of having Uni and Xrd at each one we're going to have two tournaments per-month, one with Xrd and one with Uni/BB. At the Xrd monthly Zinac is going to be bringing a build of his game fearless night. We wont be streaming fearless but it's a really good game so come and play it. For February the dates for Galloping Ghost the animation episode 3: Galloping Girl Ghostena will be 2/12 with Xrd and fearless night. Part 2: Galloping Girl Ghostena -Again- will be on 2/26 with Under night and BlazBlue. We should be able to run through brackets faster with this schedule, so tournaments will start ~ 9 PM rather than 8. Casuals for any game are of course always welcomed regardless of what game's being run.
Crimefighter Posted March 5, 2016 Posted March 5, 2016 We've pretty much landed on a stable schedule for GGA events, the second friday of the month will be the Xrd monthly and the last friday of the month will be Under night. For right now Nitro+ will run opposite Xrd and BB will run opposite Under night. Weeks that aren't monthlies are casuals for whatever game. since we're back to streaming every week we'll also do something on all the off weeks (free entry round robin/kumite/FT10/whatever) which will be streamed as the "marque match-up" The info for March monthlies (BubbleGhost Crisis and BubbleGhost Crisis chicago 2040) is Xrd/Nitro+ on the 11th, and Uni/BB on the 25th. For April there's 5 fridays, so we're planning on doing xrd on 4/15 and Uni on 4/29. We will probably do something stupid for april fool's day, we're not sure what yet but I wanted to mention it now so you all know I'm serious if I announce something for 4/1 later.

wiredgod Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 I'd like to keep doing anime at GGA on fridays. Anyone want to take a trip to round one this Saturday?
Monarch Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 With CF at Round 1, any chance of an event or tournament being held to celebrate its arrival?
