HellSap

Lol I am in town for Anime Los Angeles and wanted to see if anyone was potentially around - guess not. Did see a Xrd Faust cosplayer, tho. Shame. If anyone is around and wants to play tonight/early tomorrow ill be down. Otherwise I hope your scene recovers, only to be beat down by the glorious PNW, lol.

I'm in Hermosa Beach until Friday! Whats good, Cali?

Woah! Zappa activity, wooh!!!

Please sign me up for GG. Thanks

Don't be so toxic to pad players, Digital Watches! But certainly whats more important is what you're used to; but there are clearly better and worse ways to go about things... Most of those listed are pretty easy as you just do them without thinking. I think that I-no overall has most of the hardest FRCs in the game. Zappa's sword is just so tricky I usaully try to avoid it. Regardless we have it easy since the removal of true 1f FRCs... could never hit those Rensen Geki frcs Also keep spamming arcsys twitter, guys!

Not liking their community feedback. Why make a branch in the US that does less than their great previous business partners - Aksys... *SIGH*. It shouldn't be that hard to make +R cross-platform. Patching it is a bit different, TECHNICALLY. But yeah. 0 feedback is really disheartening.

So can people start tweeting @arcsystemworks on Twitter to ask when the +R update is planned? They've been pretty quiet for ANY news on this.

To grow a community you need consistency and a game that will actually draw people in. I am completely behind the mentality shift and this second chance. As someone who has been promoting the local community for some time, I have heard from several local players that the toxicity had killed their interest in playing airdashers/GG. Now we're all more mature, a new *exciting* revision of our beloved game might be enough to get us a good and proper scene! Even if you cant get the same draw as SF4 or Marvel; get involved, learn those games and communicate with the scene. Get some game exchange going on with players and promote your shit. Even if none of it works, you can still putter on with 3-4 dedicated players, like my scene always has... haha

Tae - Oooh, I'm gonna need to figure out a room if theres spots. Or do the motel 6 down the street like I did last time (hella cheap!!!) Also good on you, Reks. Also are there any players near Longview? Its kinda a weird midpoint, even more middle of the road than Osuna, haha.

Okay, cause I was laughing my ass off. Getting angry doesnt do jack, I've been playing Guilty Gear for a decade. If some new player beats me, more power to them? If your main is Baiken, gl not getting easy damage and having bad matchups. Then again, if your at the top of your game, good luck never getting hit and annoying the fuck out of the other player until they mess up, get CH and get dust looped by you. Can you start your loops off most setups? I think its 2d>tatami (or whatever character specfici setups there are) into wackyness, or crazy iad tatami stuff. Do you have a strong nuetral game and understand the importance of just jumping up and down and whiffing j.s? It sounds like there might be some sort of fundamental flaw or severe problem with your playstyle or your mentality. Best thing is what you did - calm the fuck down. Next is to try to change your approach. If you don't already do this - go play SSF4 or KoF... Go play some other game with some other pacing and understand the flow and the way to win in that play-style, learn to adapt and come back. When GG scene died down here and there was a lull (Blazblue) I played more Capcom games, improved my fundamentals and was stronger at the game. Read all the playing to win shit and articles on SRK and apply that all to your game, it helps - believe it or not - even if its not intended strictly for 'airdashers'. GL and most importantly, HF. Man, I need to play online more and knock off my years of rust, *sigh*

GGs hoku, holtth-something and the one Zappa mirror that didn't want to play more than once after getting OWNED :x If theres more West Coast people, feel free to add me : HellSap.

Added. Yeah, netplay is pretty bad when theres nobody online and those that are keep dropping on you. I dunno how most of them got to 1000 games or a high rank. Everyones either a pushover or just keeps kicking me, haha.

Best Bout has 360 pad players and a 360. So you should definitely check them out - they meet up every Tuesday/Friday http://www.facebook.com/BestBoutGaming?fref=ts http://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&pc=FACEBK&mid=8100&where1=2409+SE+49th+Ave.%2C+Portland%2C+Oregon&FORM=FBKPL0&name=Best+Bout+Gaming&mkt=en-US For the meetings when we actually attended - you could always play on ps3 pad or learn stick. We also have converters for our ps3 so if you wanted to bring your 360 we could use that. Right now theres nothing going on, but head over to BB and keep up on the FB groups http://www.facebook.com/groups/363473487020835/?fref=ts < heres mine for local GG players

For shame, SCEA, for shame...

http://www.facebook.com/groups/midwillamettefgc/ Oolong/Chrome - make sure to check out this group. Theres actually a scattering of several players there who play GG/BB/P4A etc... Also - did anyone goto Akicon?

Man, I hope this scene comes back. I'm actually having weeklies at my place every Thursday and random SF4 players are actually playing P4, though theyre just as bad at is as they are SF4. Still no idea who Chaoschao is, lol. (you should come to the meetups, even if its just me and Osuna)

Signed up for this! Cant wait to play LoL there as well!

Finished up college! I'm back! Viscant's return to glory has inspired me as well! Glad this is getting pushed back a little later in the day. Too bad Saturday is just as busy as Friday...

HellSap Portland, OR

Been looking towards reviving the BB (and GG!) scene, I feel like we do not have the numbers to really make it worthwhile, yet. Last tourney down here we had 8 and seattle had 8 and they stomped us. CS Extend is out, so the game is getting a bit more exposure and is more entertaining. GG news has got me to try to rake together a scene once again, but we'll see how that goes. Ed/Edge was asking me to try to host another tournament at Epic Gaming, just trying to see who all are willing to travel down. Note : I got a place to crash for mostly anyone.

This sounds like good news! Bad news if they are just rereleasing AC+ and judging how it sells to make a sequel. I'm sure another rehash might not sell as well with the old engine... still hype.

SWEETNESS. Now that the game I have been waiting for for a long while is out, I'm going to be pumping plenty of hours into it. Witcher 2, FUCK YEAH. But seriously... gonna play a fuckton of CS2 as soon as mahou shoujo is in... Dunno anyone going to Battle For Seattle in PDX, tho, so Also - BBG should definitely post up, SamY actually played GG back in the day, though the others don't really play, but are interested in expanding their crowds to be all inclusive.

Awesome! I don't have a login, but someone should post some links to the online play that the last comment complains about a lack of...

Sorry for dropping the ball on this. I saw no replies and told the venue to cancel. I heard a handful showed up... thought I posted in the main thread and blargh.

Hey, theres that tourney thats supposed to happen... sorry I've been dropping the ball on this... http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?10961-2-12-Portland-Epic-Gaming-BlazBlue-GG-Tournament&p=919628#post919628 As Slash5150 hosts the stream, he said there might be a gameclucks event on the 12, so he wanted it moved around if he could make it.... I dunno what you guys want, its up to you. Sorry I couldn't make the last one due to bad weather / sickness. AND SHIN MARC ITS GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN! I shall try to make it sometime when its convenient, yo!
