I need to grind that shit out because I'm rusty as fuck. But yeah, we gotta play for sure!

I found out I can make it to ranbats, but I need to find a place to crash from Friday Night to Saturday night. I arrive in Michigan @ Friday at 4PM at the Greyhoud Station downtown and leave on Sunday @ 120am. If anyone of you can house me that would be cool. If not, I will try to do something that doesn't bother my mom that weekend.

Everything that Arc said but you also have to take in account of those getting the people into the fighting games are actually teaching them properly. These are the guys you wanna take your time against and sandbag, last thing you need is to go all in on a new guy and turn him away from the game you're trying to get them to play. That's how I got a few of my friends to start. Sadly, they saw me play BB on YouTube and found out I was sandbagging against them and got pissed off, but then they realized: well, if he played me at full force, I would have never picked up the game again. Hopefully this venue thing works out and if we can get something going for the last weekend of this month, invite them. It's gonna be casuals besides, it wouldn't be right to start off ran-bats on the first meet-up without playing the games casually first.

Really? I've brought up my barrier against Houtenjin and I've not been counter-hit. there was probably a single instance that it's happened but I'm sure that was me being too slow.

Been out for awhile guys, and I'm glad to see that someone else is interested in what we're trying to accomplish here. As I said before, I'm working in North Chicago this weekend and the update status remains the same until Monday after I get out of class. I'll head up there and see what we can do to get something going at the end of the month.

Thanks blak, I obtain a new sig now.

GG's to everyone in Ape's room. The matches were pretty close and some were of me getting blown up by Haz. Either way, it was fun and that Carl match was intense. I had to lame it out just to get the second round.

I can't do it today but if you wanna play KOF XIII, I'm down. It's one of the games I do enjoy playing, even if the netcode isn't that great.

how do I xbox?

GG's to you too bro, those were some lulzy matches we had. Cross up Gauntlet Hades FTW! I will not be on after 10PM, I have to travel to North Chicago tonight for work this weekend. They have internet but its Hotel Wireless... no one wants to play on that.

Dang that sucks. I have to leave the house around 11PM to get to North Chicago.

Anyone actually playing on XBL ATM? I have no classes today, the snow is demotivating me to go anywhere ATM and I have work tomorrow. PSN is making me mad so I'll scrub out on the arcade stick today. I'll be on in a few so if anyone wants any games in, hit me up.

It is, but in Jay's position who lives in Michigan, he made the right choice. On the other hand, I do not. That day most likely would have been the first, and last Ranbat I would have show up to if it were me in Jay's shoes.

Wait... somebody put their hands on you?! Oh they are lucky as fuck it wasn't me because I would have done something and they wouldn't have liked it. But then again, you're probably right about not trying to start shit.

Why am I not surprised that half of ths list is Sonic Games? Congrats on the job bro, glad somebody's got something going for them.

It's probably the best that way. CS:EX comes out in less than a week anyway.

You're welcome bro! Don't worry, it's only ranked, no one cares about that shit especially when CS:EX is around the corner.

Well, I just finished Episode II of ShinSyn's Netplay Ranked Run on XBL... why is LIVE so dead?!

We took 2, you dodged the first one so I got you in the second one.

Nigga... that IS you! 50 wasn't a part of the scene when we took this pic, I met him during the "WINTER Break" remember? This picture was taken during the summer/fall season that day when I couldn't take part in ran-bats, because I was too broke after paying for the dorm fee/rent and it proves it because I was talking to Toasty about it and he is in the pic! I even griped at you because you put your hand in front of your face... @ AXIS: No, Jago hasn't been to a single casual I've been to except the Hotel Party. You two have bad memory and I see what they say is true; Birds of a Feather, Flock Together.

As you guys already know, I'm ShinSyn. My main Games are The King of Fighters XIII and BlazBlue, I've been to a few tournaments for BlazBlue and have placed in the top 3 in my last 2 tournaments. I feel that I'm a strong player but I'm lacking in some areas to get me to get my that 1st place I've been striving for. Hopefully this scene will grow, develop and have the players gather to assist each other to become stronger players in whatever game they're into. I play pretty much anything that allows me to attack the other opponent, lol even if I don't like the game, I'm willing to give anything and everything a try especially if it's to make that person better. In BlazBlue, I main Jin and sub Bang and in KOF I run a team consisting of Kyo/Shen/Leona with the occasional switch-out of Ryo. As someone who comes from a strong scene that has moved out here, I'm glad to see people are interested in Re-building the BB scene out here and are also interested in other games. This is why I am going to do whatever I can in my power and ability to get things started. I also play online if you guys can't make it out, I'm willing to netplay as much as I don't like it. If you guys are down for some games online, hit me up: PSN: ShinSyn (P4:Arena/BB/KOFXIII/SSFIV:AE/T6/VF5:FS) XBL: ShinSyn (BB/T6/UMvC3) PC: MBAA:CC/GGAC+ Everyone here lurking the thread (or just watching without posting) and are interested in playing Fighting Games in the city of Chicago post up. We want to hear what the rest of you guys are all about and what games catch your interest. EDIT: Also, I play YGO TCG if anyone is interested. As Ark says, we need to constantly post in this thread to keep it from being sucked in by the larger scenes.

Nigga, WTF are you talking about?! You're on the FAR RIGHT IN THE WHITE TEE! I took a second one because you were in the house for the first one... How do you not know who you are in the pic? WTF man!

And now, there are 3 Jin mains from Illinois. First Post updated. EDIT: @ pharaoh Post up on the Chicago Thread and let yourself be known to the rest of the players out here! The Illinois Thread: We Play This Game!

Hey, somebody's gotta do it. Why not me? I mean, I'm here for the next 3 years and I really want to get some good games in with an offline crowd. We have people here, its just that nothing is happening. That's why I'm stepping up to the plate. I just hope you guys follow suit and attend casuals and such when I'm able to get them started.
