Part 1: Brice

Nini Heart: Uh oh, this is Montreal's ex-champ! Montreal's ex-champ who doesn't speak English!

Brice: Fuck you.

Nini Heart: So we're gonna perform this in French. (In French) "Hi who are you?"

Brice: "My name is Brice"

Nini Heart: "You're called Brice?"

Brice: "Yeah."

Nini Heart: "Where do you come from?"

Brice: "Why are you turning the camera? I'm from Montreal!"

Nini Heart: "No, you're French. What you say?"

Brice: ...

Nini Heart: So how do you feel about your scene?

Brice: Uh, it's the best scene ever.

Nini Heart: Why?

Brice: Uh, because we're awesome.

Airmaster: No.

Nini Heart: Airmaster, get out of here.

Brice: And like we can all speak two languages (french and english).

Nini Heart: Yeah. Okay, that's kind of cool.

Brice: So like everybody understands everybody.

Nini Heart: How strong do you feel your scene is as a whole?

Brice: I think our scene is really good because we meet often.

Nini Heart: Yup.

Brice: But uhhh we're not on Lord Knight's level and stuff like that.

Nini Heart: But like Lord Knight is like the only good player on the East Coast. Lord Knight and Zidane. Without them the East Coast is free.

Brice: Yeah, okay then. Maybe they're the best except for us.

Nini Heart: So you think we're the best on the East Coast? If we take Lord Knight and Zidane out.

Brice: Huh?

Nini Heart: If we take Lord Knight and Zidane out of the equation, we're the best?

Brice: Yeah, for sure.

Part 2: Kirbster

Nini Heart: So, Kirbster, how do you feel about our scene?

Kirbster: It's getting to be pretty good, actually.

Nini Heart: Getting to be pretty good?

Kirbster: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Um, we're going out to more majors and stuff.

Nini Heart: Yup.

Kirbster: Having regular meetups, 2-3 times per week.

Nini Heart: Do you feel the scene as a whole is strong? Or we just have a few good players?

Kirbster: I would say the level of skill, yeah it goes from one extreme to the other.

Nini Heart: Yeah.

Kirbster: But uh... more practice will help us.

Nini Heart: More practice will help us.

Kirbster: But, it's that there are a bunch of us who are at a certain level that not everyone else have reached.

Nini Heart: How do you think we could improve the strength of our scene?

Kirbster: Our scene? Play more, man!

Part 3: pochp

Nini Heart: Okay... I'm with...

Rhannmah: HELLO!

Nini Heart: Haha, okay. I'm with Pedro.

pochp: Yeah.

Nini Heart: He's he host of Montreal's scene which he's been organizing.

pochp: I'm not...

Nini Heart: Yes, you are. He's been organizing all the tournaments and the current ranbats are all thanks to him. So, Pedro how do you feel about your scene?

pochp: Uh, it's pretty awesome. Like, l'm usually jealous of other scenes, but it's like we're building our own. So it's awesome.

Nini Heart: Yeah, you've been doing a lot of work and you've been here since the beginning. Do you feel that your scene has improved?

pochp: Uh, yeah a lot. We used to be like really bad. But like now, we've been traveling a bit... you know, improving a lot, playing each other like every week so it's good. It's good.

Nini Heart: I heard you've been traveling a lot, I heard you went to ECT,

pochp: Yeah.

Nini Heart: T12, you, and Brice.

pochp: No, T11.

Nini Heart: T11.

pochp: T11.

Nini Heart: And the last tournament in Toronto...

pochp: Uh... yeah, yeah. There was a little tournament a few weeks ago.

Nini Heart: And I heard you're going to Summer Jam too.

pochp: Yeah, with you.

Nini Heart: Haha.

pochp: I'm driving though.

Nini Heart: You're pretty dedicated.

pochp: Yeah, we try to travel... try to like make interest, get better... You know, it's good motivation- to travel. It makes you want to get better. Then people at home get better because they have to keep up, so...

Part 4: BladeofJustice07

Nini Heart: Okay! I'm with BladeofJustice-o-7.

BladeofJustice07: What's up?

Nini Heart: The second face of Blazblue Montreal, he's been hosting tournaments since day one with Pedro. Blade, how do you feel about your scene?

BladeofJustice07: It's really good that the community is doing a lot of traveling... going to other tournaments, which is really good for the scene. [it gets] greater exposure for Montreal, and we get better exposure for Guilty Gear and Blazblue. Blazblue's been developing so... that was a second goal of mine. A lot of people are getting into Guilty Gear, and from that maybe we could see the resurrection of guilty gear again.

Nini Heart: Well, hopefully...

Part 5: Conclusion

Nini Heart: Okay we're at the end of the meetup day. Everyone's pretty hype, everyone's pretty happy. It was a fun tournament.

Brice: No.

Nini Heart: The best man won.

Brice: No! What the fuck?

Nini Heart: Tager was in grand finals! This is Montreal only! Tager in grand finals!

Brice: You only won because you play Makoto.

Nini Heart: This is kirbster- he got 4th place or 3rd place. Good shit. This is Blade- he got 4th place or 3rd place. Good shit too. Everyone looks really happy... especially Brice.

Brice: Except the real winner..
