My last Gonq before Evo tomorrow night.  Come whip me into shape so that I don't tarnish our fair city's name.

 

Is a monitor still the biggest priority for me to bring along, or is anyone who normally brings a consoles not coming this week?

[lofo]

Anyone going to gonq next week? Dev hasnt been going recently and Scott and Ian won't be going, so I'm wondering if I should just skip it.

[Dagwood]

i can bring either my PS3 + a stick, or 2x ps3 sticks, idk which is better

Apparently Pritz is running a Ultra/CP/+R tournament in 10 days and never considered posting here lol.  Here's his poster.  

Hopefully we'll talk to him tonight and find out details.

 

Otherwise, Ian and I should arrive at Gonq with the makings for an anime setup tonight, hopefully a little earlier than usual.  If you're lurker who's never made it out, that's the room listed on the image above, or the room next to it, both above the Starbucks in the Student Commons.

Hi everyone, I just got BBCP the day before yesterday and it's my first fighting game. I'm still learning the basics but I'd really love to have someone to learn from and talk to.

 

So if there's a kind senpai living in the Kanata area I'd love to get to know you ~

I live in Kanata.  I've only been playing BBCP for 3 months, but I've been playing fighting games for years and should be able to help you with some of the fundamentals.

 

Our general fighting game meetups are in the west-end as well at Algonquin College.  If you're free Thursdays from 5PM-12AM, come on out and get some CP in.

:( Bad timing, we had planned on just having a UNiB release party at my place all weekend... Dunno what we'll do yet, 50/50 at this point...

[Freezerburn]

Dev, I have your copy of UMVC3. Found it during packing. 

I assume you don't really need it any time soon? Lemme know if you do. 

How's everyone been? How about dem BBCP finals?

I also live in Kanata and play Blazblue, though I'm pretty average with the game and I'm currently learning to play by stick (the struggle is real). I should really should get out to Algonquin and play with you folks as well. Also, anyone getting unib? Would be pretty cool to start a new animu fighting game with other people in the area.

I was there.  Lost my voice shouting "USA!", "GalileoooOOOOO!" and the ironic "LI-TCHI SUCKS!" all weekend.  Finals were the greatest show I've ever attended live.

 

St1ckBuG/Jyosua's Thursday late-night salty suite was pretty entertaining too.  Everyone was throwing bets around like crazy and getting their whisper-shout/golf-clap hype on around the streaming station at 3AM.  I randomly took a game off a Japanese Jin player too, which boggled my mind, but boosted my fragile ego enough to play the tournament with confidence.

Definitely stop by Gonq; we don't bite.  We're bound to have UNIB at gathers once it comes out.  I think Ian is double-dipping for just that reason.  I'm not normally a French Bread player, but I'll give this the old college try just in case it clicks.

Good shit at the Gonq last night guys. It was nice to get some actually match play in with my scrubby "I still don't know what I'm doing" Mu secondary, lol.

Keep us posted on what you decide on.

[lofo]

Iaaaaannnnnnnnnn, post more deets about your tournament thing. I don't even remember when it's going to be.

[pochp]

Keep us posted on what you decide on.

very unlikely we'll go to Ottawa atm hopefully next time we'll make it, let us know early so we don't plan something else.

Y'all should definitely come. Our scene has a large variety of skill levels, some people are really good, some average, some bad. And you'll level up faster by playing offline with us

We played unib last night, everyone seemed to enjoy it. We'll be playing pretty much every anime game

[LiveWireX]

Oh nice, I might be able to try it out for a bit tomorrow if someone brings it. I hear it has a block button, which is normally kinda off-putting for me. And that sucks pochp, but no worries.

It's never going to be this last-minute again.  Someone on Shoryuken was organizing the whole thing for the first and just added anime by assumption without talking to us.  Then they didn't get an OK from the college until last week, and held off on the announcement until then. *shrug*

It's more like a barrier block button without the push-back that, if you tap in time with the hits, acts like an instant block and reduces your block-stun.  Has a pretty satisfying feel to it, tbh.

Can anyone give me more details on whats happening tomorrow and on Thursday in general?

Can anyone give me more details on whats happening tomorrow and on Thursday in general?

Actually, I've been so busy, I just realized the organizer never got back to us on the details for tomorrow's tournament, beyond us having the room from 11AM to 9PM....     I've texted him to see what's up, but it looks like it's now on us to decide when exactly to meet and run our tourneys.

 

What works/doesn't work for people tomorrow?  Post something, or risk me getting arbitrary and picking some random times for the tournaments before I go to bed!  

 

But to answer Ryufujin's question, we're having a Chrono Phantasma and Accent Core +R tourney tomorrow alongside Ultra SFIV in room e206b of the Algonquin College Student Commons (2nd floor, above the Starbucks, past the study lounge).  There'll be a streaming station as well (which we should probably show for early if they're going to prioritize it for SFIV).

 

Otherwise, on Thursday nights, from 5PM to midnight, we either meet in that same room or in the large office next-door.

Hey guys David here, so for tomorrow I'll be bringing my ps3 for use for the tourney or whatever else. It has BB, GG, and Uni. I guess I'll arrive a bit early to help set up or something if the start time from the poster is still true. 

[Essay]

Tomorrow's pretty anything-goes tomorrow on the organizer's end.  He mentioned he imagined it being just casuals until at least 1PM.

Colin, Phil and I will show for 11 or a bit after with 1.5 setups, 2 xbox sticks and 2 dual-mod sticks.  Hopefully we can snag a CRT and a Gonq BenQ and have 3 airdasher setups.  And get some anime streamed!

[LiveWireX]

Hopefully with some of the casuals I can see on giving UNIEL a try for at least a game or two just to see what it's about.

[Ryufujin]

Well, I had tons of fun at the gathering on Saturday. Even though I wasn't able to participate in the tournament, it was great being there and I'll definitely try to go to meet-ups on Thursdays. Time to practice on unib when my copy gets here as I will be facing quite a few Waldstein from the look of things. GG's to the people I have played, can't wait to play you guys again.
