BunniesFromHell

Hey Chicago. I want to put some info out there on what's going on at Galloping Ghost Arcade. Apparently people are under the impression there were venue problems or that they stopped hosting us or something. Except that now we have a problem where people apparently thought it wasn't happening anymore and turnouts are low, that's actually the opposite of true! It's still 6pm - 2am Fridays, we have a stream running consistently now, heck, Tony's is even back to being 24 hours. We're even slated to maybe get a larger space to work with, depending on how GGA expands in the coming months. So what we were hoping to do was keep UNIEL going strong at GGA while Ignite is the "general purpose FGC" venue, and as far as anime goes, the Xrd venue, while also running LCL stuff at Ignite so GGA could be focused more on UNIEL. LCL stuff is pretty much done for the time being due to low turnouts, but I want to bring that back in some form later on. For right now the hope is to get UNIEL weeklies going at GGA, but until we get the turn-outs to start doing that, we've been running UNIEL FT5 Casual Showcases on the GGA stream at twitch.tv/gallopingghostarcade for the duration of time a tournament would take up (and then whatever we feel like because i mean, we're there to have fun and we like to bring out some silly games, too. Y'all know this). Step 2 of that plan is, once we can establish weeklies, I want to start running monthlies featuring way more than just UNIEL. What are you hoping to see out of your anime venue? Feel free to give us suggestions. Highlighting BB again might not be the worst idea in the world after all, so I've been considering that; it seems like it may have only really died because of Kokonoe, and then seemed dead afterward because of Xrd taking attention from it at the same time as turnouts declined in general. TL;DR: You can still come out to GGA to play anime.It's been mostly UNIEL-centric, but seriously if you want to come play another game, someone's gonna be there who will.Suggestions please, if we can make it more worthwhile for more people to come out, I'd like to know how.

Are you ready for the longest series of errors? Welcome to the longest series of errors. GGA tournaments haven't happened for a couple of weeks due to low attendance. Last monday's Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire tournament was one of the biggest of the series. Here are those results: 1) MightyMar 2) Zephyr 3) Tigerfist 4) Terry 5) Devil 5) Crimefighter 5) Benz 5) Flying V 9) Blazing Nipples This Monday's IGL UNIEL tournament was streamed, so I don't have the bracket. I lost the bracket for IGL Asuka 120% Excellent Burning Fest Excellent but remembered and wrote down top 3: 1) Crimefighter 2) Zephyr 3) J-Money See you all for Trap Gunner next week??

Tonight's results: UNIEL Random 2v2 (5 teams) 1) Uhhhh fuck! (Crimefighter + NobodyEXE) 2) This is fine, this is also fine (The JGreatest + ShinSyn) 3) Just Weebs (John Benz + Scientician) 4) #GiveHydeEltnumsGun (Zerashi + Tigerfist) 5) Day 1 Double Gordeau (Agito + ZachInABox) Spaera (8 entrants) 1) LCL | BFH (Harland/Joseph) 2) Agito (Tsubaki) 3) Flying V (Leon) 4) Samstar (Joseph/Pone) 5) CPzL | Crimefighter 5) The JGreatest 7) Zephyr 7) EXP | Joey Deez Nuts

Small change of plans, we'll be running Spaera as the "Tetris" game because it's cool and I solved the technical issue that could have prevented running it in like two seconds. It's free and you can download it at the developer's site here if you want to see what it's about before the tournament: http://www.blazingorb.com/about-the-game/

whoops I should probably put down a few GAME SPECIFIC RULES: Jojo: Petshop is banned. duh. Every other normally selectable character is legal. Trap Gunner: J.Bishous is softbanned. If you want to suffer playing that matchup then be my guest, but you don't have to. Bosses are legal and Dyn is "fair Bishous" if you wanted to play that character. Also, first stage is random select and loser can counterpick stage. EX stages are banned, except for Sky Garden which can be selected only as a counterpick.

Until Evo, so people can focus on their main games, Link Card League is taking some time off. Featuring Chaos Code and another as-of-yet-undecided game, LCL will return after Evo. But there's no reason why we shouldn't have some fun AND try to solve the "what other game do we run" question in the meantime, right? Officially unaffiliated with LCL, I'd like to present a new series for the next two months; Road to PovertEVO! Week of June 1: Spaera (http://www.blazingorb.com/about-the-game/) Week of June 8: Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure (Capcom) Week of June 15: Ougon Musou Kyoku Cross Week of June 21: Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire Week of June 29: Samurai Shodown 5 Special Week of July 6: Gundam Wing Endless Duel/Asuka 120% Burning Fest EXCELLENT (Either or both; we're not sure yet) Week of July 13: Trap Gunner In the spirit of LCL, these are (mostly) legit games that don't have a good space for matches currently, but even so we hope and expect you'll play them seriously; we may run weeklies for one of these games after Evo if there's interest, after all. We're announcing the game list ahead of time so people can practice, and we chose the games making sure that if you want to practice, you can easily obtain the game to do so. Entries will be free and I encourage people to enter for fun as well.

Finals is going to be one week from today at GGA, if you qualified and are at GGA on 4/24 you can enter the bracket. If people can't make it, sorry, I did what I could. There will be MYSTERY POT BONUSES for top 3 (below me since I'm throwing them in). The list of qualifiers again for convenience is: Chaos Code: From IGL: BFH; Crimefighter; MightyMar; JVO; Thores; Duckator From GGA: RM Truth; Wilfooooooooooo; Fabama; Frankentank; Malice Aquapazza: From IGL: BFH; Grant; Crimefighter; ElvenShadow; Xerocool From GGA: RM Truth; Sima; Wilfoooooooo; Fabama

Yeah, I wanted it to be roughly the week after the Ignite ranbats finished (this last Monday) but probably sometime in the next 2-3 weeks depending on how long it takes me to reach everyone and ask what's up. If a particular day is good for you, do let me know.

I'm updating the standings post earlier in the thread to reflect the results in crimefighter's post above, which was the last tournament for LCL this season! I need to ask two questions now: What games will we be running next season? Keep in mind that the format will probably change so that we aren't running too many tournaments in a single day as UNIEL random 2v2s make their return. Game X at IGL and Game Y at GGA one week, then switched the next, until the end of the season. Chaos Code isn't going anywhere because I think everyone's liked it enough to keep it around, and with an update we're looking forward to on the horizon (at least sort of), it doesn't make sense to halt its momentum. However, taking Aquapazza's current place, we're considering a few other games. DFC makes the most sense to me, as it didn't really get much tourney attention at release, even though it sounds like we all enjoy playing it. The real question is if we want to run DFC (a real game that isn't as visible), or some jank bullshit. Suggestions are welcome for any other games! (Also I'm definitely figuring out a better points system next time, this one doesn't work so well.) Is everyone who qualified ok with holding the finals of this season at GGA? There are a few major benefits of GGA over IGL, most importantly stream time and being on a Friday (I assume people are generally more free on a Friday night than on a Monday night). If enough players would rather hold the finals at IGL then we'll do that instead! Ideally everyone who qualified is able to make it out. The players who qualified for the finals bracket are the top 4 plus anyone who tied for 4th in their divisions, as follows. Any overlap in IGL/GGA was sorted by having IGL results take priority and ignoring those players as GGA's qualifiers (as IGL is the smaller division and most of its top players are at the top of GGA's rankings anyway). Maybe I'm wrong but I figure it's better to let more people into the finals bracket than to trim people out arbitrarily. I can explain more if people wanna call bullshit on the qualifiers, but frankly the points didn't quite work out like I'd imagined at the start, and I'm improvising. Chaos Code: From IGL: BFH; Crimefighter; MightyMar; JVO; Thores; Duckator From GGA: RM Truth; Wilfooooooooooo; Fabama; Frankentank; Malice Aquapazza: From IGL: BFH; Grant; Crimefighter; ElvenShadow; Xerocool From GGA: RM Truth; Sima; Wilfoooooooo; Fabama

Whoops, super-delayed results post. IGL UNIEL beginners tournament had 12 entrants, and it seems to have been an enjoyable event. Glad to have run it, and apologies for it running so slow! I'm especially glad that the Xrd, MvC3 and SF4 players who came over for it had fun. 1) X (owns a copy of the game and offered to award the prize copies to second and third) 2) JVO 3) Xerocool LCL IGL Chaos Code NSC (8 entrants) 1) BFH 2) Thores 3) JVO 4) Spideymikey 5) Teo 5) Jason 7) RE_Chief 7) Xerocool LCL IGL Aquapazza was cancelled because it was too late to run it, so all signups get 1 point towards rankings for showing up. Entrants: JVO, Elvenshadow, Crimefighter, BFH, Xerocool
