Yes, however I may be going to a relative's place on Saturday night instead of back to SD so I can't give any rides this time.

I like having a lot of games to push buttons on. Plus there's the actual arcade games at Super Arcade. That's a big draw for me.

Yo everyone, just a reminder here that we're doing a $2 Persona tournament as usual in addition to the for-fun tournament. Let's get the full 16-man bracket this time!

Sounds good just hit me up whenever!

The entry fee can be adjusted as y'all see fit. I guess we can treat this first Xieless Rebel Up as a trial and adjust it from there. Also, I am definitely down for Aquapazza and Melty, not sure on P4A yet.

I've stuck voting up on Facebook for this week's gimmick tournament. You can also add an option if you think of a good one or post it here if you don't use Facebook. I'm thinking these will be single elimination, but a standard 2 out of 3 set, for time's sake. The paid tournaments will always take priority obviously. I'd like to get tournaments rolling at 10:00 sharp, so if you want to enter but can't make it before then for whatever reason, let me or someone else know so we can try to set your matches up later. I'll check the votes on the tournament on the night of, so no one will know for sure what it'll be until then. Get going!

It's fine. Make it out this Friday/sunday/both!! We got important stuff going on.

This week's gimmick was James Xie's old UNDEFEATABLE GOD OF RAGNA tournament. Single round, single elim, Ragna only. Here are the results. http://challonge.com/dlsdragna And here are the results of the Persona 4 Arena tournament. http://challonge.com/P4A31513 Next week I have a gimmick tournament for P4A but feel free to suggest your own silly ideas. I want to start taking polls for which one to run. This means more involvement from everyone else, but less surprise. I'll just do this on the honor system, nobody should EVER be practicing this stuff. If people turn out to magically be too good at this stuff I'll go back to keeping them secret. These will always be be free and run alongside the regular P4A tournaments (Which I will be starting at 10 sharp from now on since we want to stream them! Let me know if you're going to be late and I'll try to push your match back a bit.) My other idea which I have mentioned: P4A, standard tournament rules, players may only bind 2 buttons: A, and B+D. I call this the Week 1 Netplay tournament. You'll have to get creative with your inputs. Again, let me know what other silly ideas you have. They don't even necessarily have to be tournaments for the games we normally cover. I got a few ideas over dinner tonight. Now for SHOUTOUTS: Shoutouts to people I haven't seen in a while returning (Haki, B-Rai) Shoutouts to BOMBERMAN until 3AM Shoutouts to betting on Ragna gimmick matches in the stream booth (I'll upload some highlights of this to Youtube or something when I wake up) http://www.twitch.tv/not_tsukibaka/c/2036046 KING OF RAGNA TOURNAMENT, available for watching.

well, golly. guess shadow ichi vs. ichi isn't happening this time.

I'll sign up for BB for now, might hop into GG at a later date.

Reminder that there's another $2 persona tournament plus the mystery BB tournament which is free and will be silly. The last two times we've gotten 11 people in the P4 tournament and had people missing each time, so let's shoot for 16!

I'm not really sure how to feel about the entry fee either-- Obviously it gives more incentive for people interested to level up and get that money, but you'll also be losing out on a lot of players in the tournament (variety, matchup experience). People enter it when it's free if they're on the fence about it or even just for the hell of it but I don't really like P4A as much as other anime games so I would likely not enter, especially considering the travel costs just for me to come hang out. I'm sure there are others that feel similarly... You don't have to do things exactly as I say obviously, but it's something to think about. Maybe we should get some more opinions in here about this. Another option would be to do a paid tournament every other time or something? Stuff to think about.

Mario Party money matches. Let's go. Also no problem Roa!

Stream starts in about 5 minutes.

mitsuru only, no personas, final destination (no not really, it's better than that)

I have also thought of a gimmick tournament for P4A, I just need to nail down the rules before I run it.

I only had traffic on the way there, not the way back. weird. Anyway James, gonna miss having you around. Shoutouts to James for organizing events for us for so long and also shoutouts to Super Arcade has Rhythm Tengoku now?!?

Heading out now, see you all there!

Tonight's results in jpg form: https://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/856394_10151368912773212_1571703575_o.jpg I used tio instead of challonge because I got lazy but I probably won't do it again. Again, 22 dollars total prizes, 11 participants. 1st: TsukiBaka (Labrys) 2nd: Jsmack (Labrys) 3rd: Anal Avenger (Yosuke) If we can manage one more week of this many people we can probably start streaming. Shoutouts to bracket confusion (I don't actually mind, it was hilarious) I have a few ideas for gimmick tournaments for different games. Specifically I just remembered one for BB. Anyone interested in a mysterious silly BB tournament?

It's about the same distance for me either way, so I don't really care. UCI doesn't have DJ MAX though

I was going to start the tournament around 9:00 or 9:30 like last time to allow for latecomers

Everybody come today. Hit me up if you need a ride, i will give rides.

I can take care of it if necessary and just return the keys on saturday. Also, anyone else that wants to carpool just let me know, I'm still driving up either way.

I'm going to EVO but I already have plans, but I could maybe arrange for one or more two people if we just wanted to drive from SD.

Glad to have you, man. I'll try to hop in some GG since I want to learn that game. Sorry I couldn't hang out at OFC for very long today, I have a lot of work this week. Looks like it had a good turnout anyways.
