I remember mentioning it a lot of times a month ago after NEC. People were giving me a "tired" response because of NEC so I just planned with Tekken crew. NeoRussell

MTL is not quebec. It maybe the province but not the city. We are not going to Quebec city. I'll see how they feel about it. Edit: I just talked to them and they said no. They mentioned that I already made the plans and we are already set. No need to be changing something that works. Sorry guys. NeoRussell

Sorry man but my car is full. Tekken nerds filling it up. Unless we get a Minivan of some sort. If you guys are really interested and want to split the cost, I can look up options. Not sure how the Tekken peeps would feel about it though so it would be half up to them as well. Hope they stream it. LOL K2: thanks for the advice. umm... what is the 4k combo with two bars. Sorry but i don't read strats online that much. Also, DP A version is better than DP D. Start up faster and I get a true combo. NeoRussell

How to prepare for MTL BB tourny. hmmm... I should play on thursday. Who's coming to send me off? NeoRussell

Nazir: I got your name on one of this one day. 2012 man. I want to be part of this crowd. Amsterdam, Australia or anywhere in Europe. Doesn't matter cause we will go. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v42cqJa_Ras NeoRussell

Merry Christmas Guys. NeoRussell

I wished I had my camcorder for today. It would have been great to capture Toronto ArkSys Christmas. LOL!! NeoRussell

So what time does the festivities start tonight? I'm not sure yet if I can come. Depending on when I finish my christmas shopping. Still have to wrap them as well. Sigh. NeoRussell

I didn't mean to start a war of arguments and it's good to see that everything has calmed down. Again, i'm just voicing my opinion so there was no hate towards my post. My opinions are my own. You can take it with a grain of salt (no pun intended). I certainly try to make an effort to come to Ghetty but Fridays is never good. I do come thursdays but nobody shows up. I'll try to make an effort in coming more now that there are plans to have BBCS2 plus SSFIVAE. I can only imagine the lines but that's what arcade is all about. Did the boss mention how he is going to obtain BBCS2 by the way? I'm curious. Please post up when the CS2 is out or even SSFIV:AE. I'm sure nobody will go on Friday right? Any players coming on thursday? NeoRussell

I can't say the same for GG, I gave up on that because everybody's knowledge is just so deep that I couldn't catch up. BB on the other hand, I will certainly do my best. Such an elitist way of thinking Nazir. I certainly understand that these people are not going to win or even reach top 5. The fact that they want to participate is the whole point of having a tournament. Doesn't matter if you don't see them again, atleast give them a chance to understand that themselves. You should cause a tournament was advertised around you guys agreeing to the date. Also, it's not about you. A tournament is for a community. Not about how you feel it's gonna turn out. A good organizer will not cancel his tournament just because he foresees low attendance. A tournament was advertised so you should expect people to come. Kumori: Good to hear you've improved. Hope to see you in good standing in future tournaments. Archling: Great to hear that you guys had fun that day. Wish i could say the same about people who could not come cause they were expecting to be somewhere else. My whole argument really is "Organizers cannot cancel a tournament a day before". I've also mentioned that i'm not mad, just disappointed at what happened. Saying that you guys "will play the same people anyway" is seriously not a good enough excuse. Name any tournament that this does not happen. You'll always play the same people but one of those unknown will slip the crack hoping to prove himself. It's too bad the chance was not given. NeoRussell

This is disappointing to say the least. When I heard about it on Saturday. How the staff of TFNS felt when a place was provided and then informed a day before because community leaders clearly just didn't want to be bothered. To kick me while i'm feeling down, people were asking "ME" about BB tournament when I didn't have an idea as well. If you guys knew this was going to happen, more time should have been given to cancel. You could have expected it a few days before but a day before is just disrespectful. As an organizer myself, if somebody did that to me, I definitely consider not allowing them to participate in future events. To make matters worse, you guys had a tournament on Friday. WOW! It clearly showed that running a tournament in TFNS is a hassle. BB can easily draw 20+ players for tournaments. You guys chose not to because outsiders are not coming (who cares), hard to lug equipment (things called cars), venue fee ($10 too much money?) or play same people (umm so what). That's such a weak sauce reason. You guys have to think about your up and coming players. It doesn't matter if you play the same people over and over, the point is to get tournament experience. I play the same people over and over in Tekken but we still hold tournaments because that's the whole reason we play each other casually. It doesn't matter if we have only 10 people that show up, we want to see what the results look like to see who progresses. This is my whole opinion of the BB/GG community altogether and I don't care of I get shit on for this. To me, it looks like the really good people (you know who you are) think that they are really unbeatable that there's no point in holding a tournament because the results will always be the same. The mentality is then blindly passed around the whole community. Tournament organizers should always think about community members that wanted to prove their worth that day. I'm sure they don't mind losing but gaining that needed boost from tournaments to reach a new level or atleast have a better understanding of it. I personally don't care if I lose to anyone of you casually, tournament results is what matters. Sorry but like I said, i'm disappointed at the actions that happened this weekend. I'm known you guys a long time. I started BB with you. I just pray that some of your new players excel and beats the powerful players (I'll be one of them). Unfortunately, they won't be given the chance cause as the mentality in here goes, "the results will be the same anyway". I'm not mad just disappointed because I know what it feels like when tournaments get canceled a day before when it's been advertised for a month. NeoRussell

I'll have my Camcorder for Tekken. I'm sure I can use it for Blazblue to record matches as well. Got to represent more Toronto Vids. I'm looking at Tsubaki in CS2 and how I want to use her so much. Things just look easier for her in that version. NeoRussell

Cool Kinect Hacks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQvLt7DQhaI&feature=player_embedded#! NeoRussell

You guys recording matches on Sat right? NeoRussell

Yeah it's out. I wouldn't mind having it in my collection. $10 for PSN and equivalent price for XBL. NeoRussell

X-Men arcade is out for XBL and PSN. Anybody picking this game out? Nostalgic feelings are the most expensive ones. NeoRussell

Damn son, that's a make it or break thing if Arcade follow the stream type thingy of games. Let's hope Tekken does not fall in that line. Question: GGXX AC for the Wii, i'm guessing there are changes in there that I can't exploit in the Arcade version? i.e. bridget's yo-yo USEFUL glitches. Is it a lot of changes I mean? I'll give the game another try since you guys are playing again. I was wondering why you guys weren't camping that game while you wait for BB back then. Good to have that back atleast. NeoRussell

Actually, we experienced the Japanese version first before International. He got it knowing that he could not connect to Tekken-Net. Same thing with BBCS2, it needs to be connected to a network to fully understand the card system or something. If ghetty boss feels that there is interest he will get it. Only time will tell with the release date looming, it will either be a hit or miss. Regardless of him getting it or not, you guys will still go to the arcade to play BBCS, GG or AH anyway so no big loss to him. I've spent lots of money on BB:CT and BB:CS, probably because of the learning from ground up and getting owned by the lot of you in the beginning. I don't think it compares to how much i spent on MvC2. That game got me broke a few times over. LOL NeoRussell

My opinion: I think the boss will get BB:CS2 if there's enough interest in it. Not really sure how vocal you guys are being but from the looks of it, some would but most don't care. In my own Ghetty history, we bugged him for months about getting Tekken 6. He knew full well that it would need internet but he still got it regardless. The boss knows and calculates his losses if needed. I'm sure he got his money back in 2 months since it was a $1 a game. Let's not lose hope. If the game does get to Ghetty, i'm sure almost all of you will play it. Somebody said that we are all Arcade players at heart. T12 will be packed with games that's for sure. Everybody ready for the tourny on Sat? NeoRussell

It's not like crossing the border. Sure it's a 4+ drive but think of all the fun in driving to tournys. Plus, it will be a month from when NEC happened. If anything, you guys can rely on me to take the MTL title. Need training though? Hermes, mind if I visit your house one day to train like last year. NeoRussell

So anybody interested to go to MTL Tourny for BB on Jan. 8th? NeoRussell

Ghetty is open today right? I don't want to drive there if that place is closed. Can anybody help out with that? NeoRussell

Anybody going to ghetty later tonight (Thurs.)? Can't come tomorrow so my only chance is today. NeoRussell

Anybody want to go to Montreal on Jan? They are having a BB tourny. Just asking since I MAY go there if they run Tekken. Montreal is about 5hr drive. NeoRussell

Are people going to Ghetty on Thursday or Friday? I don't think I can come Friday anymore. NeoRussell
