  1. I am contemplating driving down to NEC in light of Vyer's inability to do so. However, my starting point is very much south of where the existing people in need of a ride are located, so either people would need to drive as far as my area, or I'd have to go pick them up. We could also set up some kind of carpool system, if people would prefer (i.e. NH goes to MA, MA takes two cars to CT, something like that). Everyone who is in need of a ride/lodging ought to post sooner rather than later, so the overall distribution of expenses can be estimated/finalized. That room sounds too schwanky to be cheap...
  2. Mindgam3 - CT GGXX:AC and KoF XII, please.
  3. I wish to reserve a place in your temporary dwelling. Is this acceptable? Also, get hype for ACT. I'm going to bring KoF XII, and try to convince someone that it's a good game, completely undeserving of the negative press that has been thrown around.
  4. Kayin, you deserve the best of luck. I remember back when I first met you, raging because "shit's not coming out" on your modded Mayflash with the pink buttons. But since then, not only has your execution become far more consistent, but your sportsmanship as a whole improved drastically. I thoroughly enjoyed playing games with you, and I hope you find the same kind of enjoyment in California. Keep pushing yourself to be the best. I think it is fate for you to beat the Japanese. On a less melancholy note, what's going on for the rooming situation for NEC?
  5. Well, I'm certainly up for carpooling in order to save money. However, I typically have class until 4:00pm on Fridays. I could skip the last one and bump it up to 2:00pm, but any earlier and I'd have to work some things out with my professors/TA's (which is no big deal). In an ideal world, I would be able to leave late Thursday evening as you want, but I'd most likely only be able to leave Friday morning after 9:00am. As far as the return trip is concerned, I have a class at 8:00am on Monday, but I would rather skip that anyway so we can at least enjoy the ride home if we decide to leave Monday morning. This would be most excellent.
  6. So, I found out that NEC is the weekend before the week before my week of finals, so I am seriously considering attending this year. Vyers, BlueNine, and Nazgul, I believe you are all going together...? If you are carpooling, would you mind if I tagged along? Tell me what's up with the situation. The sooner I know, the sooner I can save up.
  7. Kona: I'm going to be arriving fairly early (12:00-1:00), but I wouldn't mind going out to South Hadley and picking you up when you get out of work. Just PM me with where you'd like to be picked up and we can work from there.
  8. Personally, I agree with the sentiment that Springfield or Amherst is a better location for New England as a whole. Not only are both areas within relatively acceptable driving distances for most of NE's players, Antonio's pizza is absolutely amazing. Concerning CT alone, Sarges might be good for general CT meet-ups, but anyone from MA would have quite a trip ahead of them. Also, holding them weekly like they were would only be asking for inconsistent attendance, which is what I believe led to its demise in the first place. In general, since the biggest GG scene I can think of in CT (Hartford) is located pretty well near MA, I would stick with it for now. Come to think of it, Digital Mayhem had scheduled "Fight Nights" after ACT X I believe, but I have no idea if they're still hosting them. However, each time I asked if anyone was interested on the forums, all I got were metaphorical internet tumbleweeds. Also, get hype for Saturday! Who's going?!
  9. I can't say that you're planning this last minute, but I wish I knew about this sooner. Otherwise I would have saved my "Go Home Free" card for this coming weekend. Eh, no matter. If it's going to be this weekend for sure, I'll try to finagle a ride up there.
  10. I finally got an ethernet cable for my PS3, so I'll be attending the next set of New England casuals. I also have GGPO now, so I can finally partake in this supposedly no-lag gameplay. Danny, ideally you would need only an unassembled Cthulhu kit ($25) and an Imp board ($9). However, according to Toodles' post on SRK, he has seemingly run out of kits and can only supply assembled boards (http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=162026). It's no big deal if they are assembled, but the fact that it's $20 extra for a job that takes only 15 or so minutes and contains parts which will preferably be taken off the PCB anyway would make me think twice about spending that kind of money. My next preferred reseller (http://www.modchipman.com/arcade-parts-boards-c-144_146.html) is seemingly out of stock, and lizardlick.com will make you wait until the next coming of Jesus (or the next SF) before they'll ship out your parts.
  11. Here's an update: Name: Jeremy (Mindgam3) Location: Southbury, CT (In order from left to right of decreasing skill and prowess) GG Characters: , , BB Characters: , , Other Fighting games: SFIV, 3S, KoFXII Also, since when did we have members hailing from Maine or Rhode Island? I'm interested.
  12. I seem to have trouble getting Tao off of me after the rushdown has begun. It seems like all of my quick pokes get eaten up by 5b and then I become a combo dummy thereafter. Aside from getting her cursed as quickly as possible and playing keep away/harassment from the beginning of the match, is there anything I'd be able to do on reaction against her rush down mixup (ex: 2a, 5b, 6b, her drives, that kind of stuff)? Edit: Upon scouring the Tao forums, apparently Arakune ought to have the advantage. But I'm puzzled as to what TaoFTW means by "...Rachel and Arakune have an answer to everything you throw out - whether it be a 2a or risky 6c's. Rachel and Arakune has her 6a to beast out every normal you have in the air. While they have an answer to kill your air game, they also have numerous ways to shut out your mobility." I want to know these numerous ways.
  13. http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2792 (Even though it's "out of date"/renovated-ish) and http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3121 Will give you all the bunnies and parking spaces you'll ever need.
  14. While certainly not as epic or humorous as the preceding movies, this is the first match video that I made, showcasing my friend's Robo Ky vs. my Slayer. Suggestions, comments, and the like would be greatly appreciated, since I know there's a lot I still have yet to learn (I also need to master playing stick somehow ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KiBstn5-0M
  15. I haven't had the chance to play against a practiced Jam player, so my experience with this matchup only goes as far as fighting the more often than not retarded CPU. She seems to be quite powerful when used correctly (Flash Metroid being first and foremost on my mind), so if any more experienced players have certain strategies and exploits they could share, it would be greatly appreciated.
