Amanita

Oi oi sorry for those of you who showed up last week and we started late. Console play will be set up earlier this evening.

I deeply apologize, due to a rather severe sickness (I had to go to the ER bad), there probably will be no console play tonight. Toasty Casuals will be back for sure, next Friday.

I posted on Meltybread, setup begins hopefully at 5pm. I am on my way to Japan Arcade now. We have confirmations of intentions to show. See you there nyao~!

ID says you can bring your PC with "Jew Puncher" if you'd like... I'd prefer something like I'M though.

Thank you very much! I had fun playing you, and thanks for helping teach my friend more how to play, I suck at teaching games to others. ^__^;; if you're ever in the area again, you know where to find us! Sorry I forgot to offer you a teacake.

So for those who made it, it was fun! Good games, except you Numa you're mean to me. Those of you who did not make it, we had pretty good play even though tonight was a 'for the newbies' night. I hope those of you who did try out new games learned and had fun! I know I learned much from Numa mopping the floor with me in Arcana 3. We had 2 PS3 setups, and we will have for sure, from now on, as long as there are enough people. Also the cabinets got good play, too. So anyone with reservations that you're unsure there's no one showing up, we are, and most of us are too lazy to post on here. Good games, and see you next week, or in weeks to come! And as Numa pointed out, feel free to bring games and sticks/controllers. If people wanna play them, then we can... Numa... Waterpizza? Wth?

I miss it too... TT___TT is anyone going to show up tonight for Toasties, though? Last week was busy! Tonight is for newbies to shine! All I see are newbie streetfighter and KOF players, I'm tiring of beating up on them nyao.

Oh snap, I feel stupid, I didn't even know that about the parking! And how come no one commented about FFA closing on the 31st, not Japan Arcade. Dude a troll?

February 1st will be the second meet-up for newer players. But we'll probably be at the arcade pretty late, I will post on here to notify any interested parties before we leave the arcade though. It can stay open decently late, until past midnight.

http://www.facebook.com/toastycasuals Toasty Casuals is now on FaceBook!

TOASTY CASUALS Beginning Friday January 11th Toasty Casuals shall initiate. UPDATE: The street is SOUTH not north Alameda Also meet up time will be sometime after 6pm, probably after 7pm. Update: we have a Facebook Page and to keep you more up to date now Twitter!!! I’m DAA, and I’ve been trying to coordinate casuals Friday nights at FFA for games such as GuiltyGear, MeltyBlood, BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, Arcana Heart, and more! As FFA closes its doors on nearly 40 years of history come this new year, we’re moving venue. As such for those who regularly come and fight for dominance every Friday at FFA, on January 11th we will meet at Japan Arcade in Little Tokyo, and we can take up the fights there for bi-weekly epic dominance! On January 18th for those who are newer to the fighting game scene, or need to get better at a game (like I need to get better at Guilty Gear!), or want more casual or social fun, or might be in the area, we will be meet for a “more casual” bi-weekly meet-up. There will be exhibitions, move lists available, helpful people, and I will ask senior attendees to be kind to any newbies or anyone trying to learn. Air Dashers: Games where you can dash in the air. The general definition. A lot of these games have now been grouped into “anime” style games, and as we move venue to Little Tokyo, new and old players should be aware of how some of these games just came to be. MeltyBlood, once a computer based game, is based on a visual novel Tsukihime, and probably has one of the largest anime and manga back resource of any games we play, at least on arcade cabinets. We’re trying to get anyone who might want to play these games, but may have been afraid or intimidated, interested in coming to our “more casual” casual nights, so please, any questions, even if they seem stupid, post below! Most of the games will be on arcade cabinets, and some PS3! For newbies, this means joysticks and buttons, so if you are used to playing at home with a controller, like many Meltyblood or GuiltyGear, you can bring a PS2 controller and plug it in to play. A few games like Arcana Heart 3 and Persona 4 are a little more obscure and the arcade cabs are harder to obtain, so it is likely we will have a wristband fee to pay to play for the night for several console games. There will also be games we will try to include such as Skull Girls, which is download only from PSN and XBOX Live. Also if you have a PS3 controller or joystick it would be a great idea to bring it along as we are starting off, especially in our first weeks. Questions on games or what any of this means, post below! The Venue: Japan Arcade is nooked into a corner in Little Tokyo’s Galleria Mall, right by Woori Market, on the second floor. It shares its space with restaurants, karaoke, and small shops. If you are over 21, there is a lovely selection of bars within the eateries, and of any age great food and stores in the mall and surrounding areas. Anything I missed that you want to add? Post below! Why “Toasty” Casuals? West Toast was a tournament begun by a founder of the Meltybread website, and a play on the name. Toasty is using this partiality for fondness of the airdasher scene along with the “toasty” atmosphere Japan Arcade unfortunately can get if there are many people, usually on warm days. Dress in layers! You have been warned! Transportation: A lot of people are already in the area and expressing interested as I am typing this, but for some of you, myself included, I am expressing an urge to coordinate carpools to go to Little Tokyo from areas of SFV, also to take public transit, as there is a station within MY (I have a cane and cannot walk too far) walking distance from the arcade! For many of you I know the easiest thing would be to go to the North Hollywood Park and Ride and leave from there, and it is very simple to get to the stop on Alameda just north of where the Galleria is. If anyone has any more helpful hints or wants to offer transport post below!

lol?

Gaaaah... I guess I cooould maaybe try Melty next week, but I get pwned so hard against real players... Although AA is so much better for me than AC....

I want to play MBAA....

I like the idea of a 3 character GG! I might actually bother entering a tourney like that. ^__^

I said it in the Airdashers thread too, but the tourney was awesome guys~ and that white Taokaka player, omfg that was just awesome. <3 Tao~

Melty Blood is more fun now that I've gotten better at beating Shiki Tohno and Shiki Nanaya! Woot. Tourney was awesome today~ And OMG that white Tao player was so awesome, I am extremely envious... and enamored.

Is someone going to bring a more reliable MBAA for Sunday?? (No offence Id, we appreciate your efforts.)

Yes I want to play a non 5-minute+ load time Actress Again!

rofl... wow... wonder if someone google-bombed that, or is there is Mecha-Hitler out there?

Yeah, Severin needs to learn Melty better.

OMG, it was "Let's play as Nrvnqsr Chaos" day?! I thought that was next month! Good matches though... Although Actress Again was more fun, Id you need to figure out something to aid your PS2 situation... Thanks for bringing it though~ And to Severin, did Mike Z find and kick you?

I can't believe that I beat your Mech-Hisui Id.... if even only 1 match.. I really must be getting better.

holy crap, you live!

Yes, and if you show on Thursday, please, at least a few of you, stay till after 10... *works until 10*
