I registered for EOS shortly after returning from PAX, so I'll see you all there. I've been practicing up since then, so I hope to do just as well there, but we'll see. :P I'll try to make it to the monthly next weekend, too, but it depends on my plans.

Loz, can you change my spot in the results to my dustloop handle instead (or at least add it in brackets or something so it doesn't confuse people looking at the bracket)? I'm not exactly a fan of my full real name being on the internet too much. :P Great games! I'll see you all at EOS for sure, and hopefully sooner.

Hey guys, I'm that Elizabeth player that came out of nowhere at the PAX P4A tournament today. :p Just wanted to say hi here. My actual name is Matt (or Matthew, whichever), I currently live in Redmond, though I grew up in BC, and moved here at the start of the year for work. P4A's pretty much the only fighter I play seriously now, but I used to be part of the Victoria, BC scene when I was going to school, where I mostly played SF4 and various iterations of BB, though I dabble a lot in all sorts of stuff. Hopefully I'll try to make it out to more stuff in the future!

Sorry, just making sure. I'm on my way. :P

I'm off work now. Can I head in your direction?

Sure, that works for me. As for where, I honestly can't say, given I've only been near your house while not being on a bus once. :P It doesn't have to be directly nearby; we can bus to Baseline or something.

Sweet. I might take you up on that couch offer, though I'm not sure yet. It depends on how much I get packed tonight. I may get off early from work tomorrow, with it being my last day and all. Rigel, since you're also done school tomorrow, wanna go grab dinner somewhere? It'll be a bit till Arun gets there anyway.

Hey, out of curiosity (and hope that people actually check this thread), who's free Friday night? I'm flying back to BC Saturday afternoon and I'd like to see if I can get 1 more thing in before leaving. I've talked to Rigel and he seems to be okay with it, but I just wanted to see who else is available. I'm not sure if I can host, but I think it's easier for me to head out towards you guys anyway. :P

BUMP! In case you missed it, Grokslam's hosting some stuff at his place, and there'll probably be BBCS going. I'm going down there. http://shoryuken.com/f248/ottawa-thread-2010-a-220811/index171.html#post9797760

I've recovered quite a bit since the other day, but not 100% yet. Since we're in a situation where we'd probably be using the other person's controllers at some point, I don't really want to pass on what I have right now, so I'm going to have to give a no on today. I think someone on SRK was trying to plan a BBCS gathering for next weekend, though.

I'm still feeling a bit sick, but I'm going to try to get a good night's sleep in the next night or two and see how I feel then. If I end up feeling better, I'd like to do something, though.

/me tests the waters for something this weekend? Also, I've started posting on the SRK Ottawa thread, hoping to find some more people. I'll link them over here to see if we can get more guys if something goes on. Though, I can't really guarantee anything myself. I haven't been feeling 100% as of yesterday so I might not be able to do anything. I'm hoping to feel better by the weekend, but we'll see.

So are we going to plan something this weekend? I'm free pretty much any time.

This weekend sounds pretty good. I'd be up for something.

Pretty good, though we were the only two people playing for most of the time (along with Rigel's roommates). We need to get more people into this. :P

So, Sunday at 1 it is then? :P

Either day is fine with me. My free time outside of work is generally wide open given that I'm only working right now and I barely know anyone here.

That's fine; I've got SSF4 with me, and a couple of other random things downloaded to the PS3. I'll take that stuff along for kicks, too.

I'm down. I can bring my PS3, 1 pad and 1 stick. Depending on how much I can carry, I might take a Wii stick along with me, too. Do you have TvC? I might bring it with me for the heck of it.

Battle Royale sounds awesome. I'll have to sign up when registration goes up again. I'll go for SSF4, at least, and BBCS if other people are playing it. I am definitely up for something this weekend. I'm fine with it being closer to where you guys are; I don't really want too many people in the house I've got here right now.

I don't mind lugging the PS3; it's travelled quite a bit in the eight and a half months I've had it. :P They're pretty easy to stuff in a backpack. I'm down in the Glen Cairn area, and for the distance it is, Algonquin is surprisingly easy to get to from here by public transit. It's only one bus somehow. We'll have to plan something this weekend.

All right, we'll have to work out a time and place sometime. I don't know if it can be out here; it depends on if my landlord will let me have guests over or not (it's a semi-shared suite, so I don't want it bothering him), but I can ask him about it. I'm pretty sure it'll be okay, but if not, we can work something out.

I personally don't think the 360 pad is as bad as people say (I have two friends that can play both on a 360 pad and stick, and can actually do pretty well with either), but to each their own. I have a PS3 pad if you don't mind playing with that, though. I have GGAC+ on the Wii as well, though I only have 1 stick for that, too, and no classic controller or anything. Bear in mind that I completely suck at the game given that the only thing I really know about how to play the game well is certain character's special moves and how to do really, really simple combos with them. :P I would have had a second PS3 stick with me, but unfortunately the boxes I was packing to get out here were well overweight already and I didn't think I would need it. Besides, the people back home that I left it with would probably get more use out of it than I will. Oh, well, what can you do.

I'm in the Kanata area if you're interested. I don't consider myself to be very good either, but I'm also new to the area (I came from BC on a work term) and I'm willing to take any non-laggy competition I can get, given that I don't see any other Ottawa threads. :p I play BBCS Lambda, mostly. I don't play GG seriously, but I also play SSF4 a fair bit. Let me know if you want to play and we can possibly arrange something. I should mention that I'm on the PS3 version and I only have a PS3 stick (+ 1 pad) with me, though.
