The New England Thread: Bears Warbling Outside My Igloo: A Polarizing Dilemma

[MashThat5A]

I'm just here because I have no place else to go.

Staten Island in a nutshell. GGs to you and Jamie yesterday.

I'd say we should play offline but I'm in Ithaca for school. :/

[OutlawVinegar]

Also, I've been looking at this game that came out recently, Aquapazza. I initially dismissed it since it looked kinda slow, but looking at it again it looks fun. I'm wondering if anyone else is interested in it, though - don't feel like plunking down a bunch of dollars for something that nobody wants to play.

Tamaki is an awesome-looking grappler, so I'm down with that. I don't have the means to do anything WaterPizza-related for now, but when I'm available to get to casuals again, definitely. By the time I go to casuals next, I should have Dark Awake on my PS3 as well, so...

[Furok]

chris g is right, anime community is too hateful towards new players

[WhyTheHellnaut]

Okay, so, for next casuals, should I hold it this weekend or next? I ask because Cheese has that biweekly thing with his job and since I waited 3 weeks instead of 2 this time I might be effin up the schedule for him and everyone else he intends to bring. Since he couldn't make it last time for that reason I'm wondering what the best course of action should be.

And uh, so, for real, who's legit a NE player out of the throng of people that just came into this thread yelling about waifus, body hair and earfucking (which should totally be the next NE thread name)? Shit's got me so kunfyoozd I'm questioning reality.

[CrownEmpress]

Saphri is real and legit. She's actually pretty good at games too so let's welcome her despite the wtf first impression she gave us.

I was just venting because I was bored and losing my mind because of my new job.

Also casuals preferably this week since I couldn't go to last week's. Asking cheese for a ride in advance as usual.

[Fraga]

I'd prefer this weekend, since we planned for Exalted next weekend. Then we'd have to wait even LONGER

[kona]

I got into the FGC in '09 so I def wasn't around when Saphri was around. Gotta admit though, that troll had me going. Also, I'd love to play Aquapazza but that'd have to wait until I get a new PS3 or I repair my current one.

Yeah, Tamaki looks scary as shit if she gets in on you. Personally, I'm leaning towards Chizuru and/or Touka.

... you know what? Fuck it. Game ordered. Assuming NCSX ships as well as they usually do, I'll have it well before the weekend, so I can bring it to casuals.

Thanks for the consideration. Part of the problem last time is that I was dog-tired from work that week. I'll spare you guys the boring details, but it was a temporary "emergency" thing that should be over now so I'll probably be good to go this week even with working this Friday, if that's when people want to get together. I'll know for certain later in the week, but I'll tentatively say it's fine by me.

Asking cheese for a ride in advance as usual.

Only if you can behave yourself.

EDIT:

... or come to casuals, since I plan on having it there.

[CrownEmpress]

Only if you can behave yourself. :v

I promise I can be sane and gentlemanly as I usually am.

[INeedGlitch2Win]

I'm still kicking myself for not meeting Christina Vee not at the last one, but the previous CTcon.

Everything.

Yeah, she even went up to me and hugged me from behind... and held my snake everyone's seen the picture so it's true and we all know it.

[Lord Pwnge18]

Guys

I should try and go to casuals this time.

@glitch - ;~;

[Archer]

New guy here. Played Third Strike (with conviction) years ago while temporarily living in Oz. I've only dabbled in fighters since then, largely due to a lack of any regular opportunity to play offline -- and netplay doesn't feel the same to me as playing with people I actually know and enjoy talking to. Been buying and watching and reading about a lot of anime games in the last year; it would be nice to actually, y'know, play. Trouble to date has been that I haven't had a single weekend day off in eighteen months. Now, though, I regularly have Sundays. Throw a message my way if you'd be interested in casuals. I'm currently terrible, but that's the starting point. Ta.

Edit: I'm in Bethany, which is between New Haven and Naugatuck.

Welcome to the scene! That's a pretty good spot to be, most casuals are in Wolcott and West Haven for CT people. Sometimes Southbury but rarely. We usually play on Saturdays but we're all online as well

[kona]

Archer, what system do you netplay on?

[agp24]

Yo, Cheese, asking for a ride, even though I don't know if I'm workin on Saturday. I'll get somebody to cover if I am. I wanna play some fucking fighting fucking games fucking now. Fuck.

[Archer]

Archer, what system do you netplay on?

PS3. I have yet to use the netplay, though; I should probably turn the system on to check what my PSN ID is, but I'm fairly sure it's either Archer or ArcherNU.

[Vyers]

That is a terrible idea.

I'm willing to try it out, but too broke to buy a copy. トウカ seems to have a move akin to tiger knee youzansen, so I'm interested in trying her out.

Also how many spots are available in your car for this Saturday? I'd like to come, and I have a friend from school who's also interested in coming to a meetup at some point. My car is fixed, but my brokeness limits the amount of money I can spend on gas.

Saphri is there any chance you can make it on Saturday???

edit: Welcome to the scene Archer. What games are you interested in learning/playing?

[Saphri]

Saphri is there any chance you can make it on Saturday???

I could make the time, but I do not feel that I am welcome.

Well, fucking guess the fuck what?! You fucking can get a fucking ride, bitch! Fuck!.

Right now I have Crown and Tales in my (fucking) car. It'd be easy enough to fit you; one other person would be possible although pushing it a bit - we'd have to fit three people in the back seat. It can be done, but might be a bit less than comfy.

And yes, Touka has TK Youzansen and it's as scary as ever (complete with free combo in the corner even, and using assists to make it safe. At least canceling into assists costs meter).

EDIT:

Probably should ask - are you still at the same place you were last time?

[CrownEmpress]

I would play HydroItalianEntree but none of the characters really appeal to me and I never watched TooHeart and Underwater Ray Romano. I guess I could give Tama-nee a spin. She is a main character after all.

[Fraga]

I could make the time, but I do not feel that I am welcome.

Feel free to come by and beat the shit out of everyone, only way to find out yourself.

[The Katz]

Cheese, ride? :'D

[Nuclear Cheese]

Cheese, ride? :'D

Sorry, kinda short on car space after Crown/Tales/Vyers/Vyers' friend.

[WhyTheHellnaut]

Assuming you're a legit player/not just a troll (and people seem to be able to vouch for this), you're certainly welcome. Sorry if I implied that you weren't, as since I've never heard of you before, I actually thought you were really a scrubby 14 year old newbie when you were using bad grammar/improper FG terms, so when that kind of person claims they were once the best GG playr in teh wrold and DL admin, I assume this person is a troll that is only here to make fun. If you're truly interested, pm me for contact info, or you can find someone with whom to hitch a ride if you are unable to drive yourself/would rather carpool.

EDIT: Just to confirm, I am holding casuals this Sat. I was a lil worried when I saw everyone making ride plans when I hadn't yet outright said that it was happening this week.

[Vyers]

Probably should ask - are you still at the same place you were last time?

No I'm at a new location in Amherst proper. and I'm moving to another new place in about 2 weeks.

And yes, Touka has TK Youzansen and it's as scary as ever (complete with free combo in the corner even, and using assists to make it safe. At least canceling into assists costs meter).

Awesome!!

Sorry, kinda short on car space after Crown/Tales/Vyers/Vyers' friend.

If we'd keep Katz from coming maybe I'll just drive down with Donnie this time?

I could make the time, but I do not feel that I am welcome.

You'll find that most of the people coming are much nicer in person than they are on Dustloop. That's the problem with forums, its impossible to tell if people are joking or intentionally malicious unless you already know them (and even then it can be uncertain). It would be cool if you did come Jamie, but its your call whether or not to give us the benefit of the doubt and come meet us in real life. In either case I really do want to play you at some point

edit: Why can you pm me directions? I don't think I've ever driven myself to your place.

edity edit: Katz, Tales, since I'm going to casuals Saturday I think I'll pass on Friday button pressing, and spend the night studying
