Some noted differences: BB is now $5 to enter, down from $7. GG is now $3 to enter, up from $2. There's something we might do new for this season. I'm considering, on select games, of taking $1 and keeping it in a fund. The fund will possibly go towards plane tickets for an SBO qualifier. If we have started the fund and SBO is not a possibility (either because we couldn't collect enough money, or because the qualifiers are not available), we will hold a big tournament with the fund as the grand prize. Let me know what you guys think about that.

Quick notices: BB arcade is now 25c per play. We now have KoFXIII at 50c per play. We also have SSF4:AE at $1 per play. EDIT: This is an old post. For those of you who care, AE is now 50c.

Family Fun Arcade 10363 Balboa Blvd. Granada Hills, CA 91344 (818) 360-0419 Hitting the ground running from West Toast, BlazBlue is back and as strong as ever! Next Tournament will be on Sunday, May 20th. Guilty Gear XX Λ Core: Starts at 5PM. $5 to enter, ($4 pot, $1 pool) 25c pay to play on arcade cabinet. Double Elimination Bracket 2/3 Matches Pot Split will be 75%/25% for <8 players; 70%/20%/10% for more. Double Blind Character Selection available on request. Winners must keep the same character, losers may couterpick. If a button or stick problem occurs on the arcade cabinet, stop playing and notify me immediately, even before your round is over. I will fix the problem, and we will restart the round. A PS2 port is available on the arcade cabinet, so feel free to bring your own controller. The button config cannot be changed and is set at the default console layout. BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend: Starts at 5PM $8 to enter, ($4 pot, $3 house, $1 pool) Double Elimination Bracket 2/3 Matches Pot Split will be 75%/25% for <8 players; 70%/20%/10% for more. Double Blind Character Selection available on request. Winners must keep the same character, losers may couterpick. In-game glitches are allowed as long as they do not "break" the game (i.e. characters float off the screen, disappear, the game crashes, etc.). If a button or stick problem occurs, stop playing and notify the tournament organizer immediately (even before your round is over). We will restart the round with a new stick. Abuses of this system will cause a forfeit of the match. If the player accidently pauses in the middle of the game, they will forfeit that round (we can look the other way if it was in the middle of a super animation). SkullGirls: Starts at 5PM. $6 to enter ($3 pot, $3 house) Double Elimination Bracket 2/3 rounds (1v1 matches), 2/3 Matches Pot Split will be 75%/25% for <8 players; 70%/20%/10% for more. Double Blind Character Selection available on request. Winners must keep the same characters (but may change order and assists), losers may couterpick. If a button or stick problem occurs on the arcade cabinet, stop playing and notify me immediately, even before your round is over. I will fix the problem, and we will restart the round. We will also be holding a fundraiser to buy a new arcade board that we would never in our right minds get. I will be taking $1 from the pots of each tournament and putting it into a pool to purchase a new game. The new game we will be saving up for will be Under Night In-Birth. If for some reason, it is not reasonable to purchase UNIB (i.e. if it comes out on console before we can get it), then we will review how to use the money. It will most likely be used in purchasing another upcoming game, like BlazBlue 3. I'll see you guys there!

We've got this game at the arcade I work at and I figured I'd share some small info. Some cool features you guys might care about: 1. You will not challenge an opponent until after you've selected your character, you cannot see your opponent's character until you've selected your own. 2. You are able to switch Ultras between opponents, but neither player can see which ultra you choose until after you have both selected. 3. They've added an event mode which has a level selection option available. 4. The graphics have been enhanced since the SSF4 console version. It looks like they've used more sophisticated bump mapping for the models. 5. Akuma is a CPU secret boss, no word yet about Gouken, Evil Ryu, Shin Akuma or Shin Gouken. In SF4 Vanilla you had to put in a password to play against CPU Akuma and Gouken, we'll probably have to wait for that password this time around, too.

So, I just got it confirmed an hour ago: FFA (Family Fun Arcade of SoCal) will be visited by the MvC3 food truck this Friday (12/17) from 7-10pm! More info here: http://www.dustloop.com/forums/showthread.php?10745-MvC3-Food-Truck-at-FFA-%28Socal%29-THIS-FRI!-%2812-17%29&p=878593#post878593

Family Fun Arcade 10363 Balboa Blvd. Granada Hills, CA 91344 (818) 360-0419 The famous Mandolin's Grill MvC3 truck will be at FFA this Friday (12/17) from 7-10pm! The MvC3 truck of "MvC3 food fight" fame makes dishes inspired by MvC3. This Friday's dish will be inspired by the character Chun-Li! Aside from food, there will be plenty of MvC3 related swag to give away! Last event, they had MvC3 aprons, T-shirts, and other goodies. To hype up the event, we'll also be hosting tournaments for both MvC2 and TvC! So, all of you MvC3 future players out there come down! (Details about the tournaments will be posted soon) *Before I get your guys' hopes up, there is no guarantee that we will have a playable version of MvC3. The only thing that is confirmed is the MvC3 truck with yummy food and goodies. I'm not saying it won't happen, I'm just saying it might and it might not.*

Hey guys sorry I haven't posted results in a bit, been crazy busy with something cool(not being mysterious, but you guys will see in a bit). I promise I'll post up Wednesday.

Rotanibor can't make it on Sunday. He's the guy who usually runs the VS tournament. Shin, can you run that one for me, maybe?

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. There's a new I/O board you have to buy for the game too. Well, hopefully BBCS2 will be console DLC relatively quickly.

Feb 14th I believe.

We've preordered the game and will be getting it from the same sources as Japanese arcades. The game comes out on Dec. 20th, but it might take a little while to get it shipped and processed, especially since arcade games are much bigger than your typical PS3 game and SSF4AE is coming out right at the holidays. I don't want to promise anything about how soon we'll get the game, but I'd guess anywhere between 3 days to 1 month after the game comes out. I'll be sure to announce ahead of time once we get a tracking number and can follow everything. Also, the game is very expensive, so expect to pay a lot to play it >.>

So, I've got some news. FFA will not be getting BlazBlue Continuum Shift II for arcade, guaranteed. It's not an issue about money, it's an issue about us not being in Japan. I've had an email conversation with Taito Corporation's Japanese sales department and they told me that the game will exclusively be available on the NESiCA x Live System. Since FFA cannot connect to a Japanese internet, FFA cannot download the game. Also, an active internet connection is required, which means if we bought a system that has BBCS2 from Japan we could still not play the game. The active internet connection is needed in order to feed money to Taito for every credit that the customers play. Even if we somehow got the game from Japan and it worked, we would need to up the price of the game because Taito would take a cut of our sales. Thanks Taito! We'll still run tournaments, but it will be on console. Maybe we can make a console arcade-style cabinet like we have for SSF4 (and will have for MvC3). P.S.: I've also been in contact with RoyalFlush, and he tells me that when MvC3 comes out, they'll be switching TvC for MvC3. So we'll be having MvC3 for our tournaments. EDIT: I should probably post this up on the main BlazBlue thread, too, along with a copy of our e-mail exchange. I might do that in a bit.

Sorry, something important came up and I couldn't make it. I really wanted to go and I know you guys were wanting VS... I would have posted here online but our internet crapped out on the Service Provider's side. I'm posting from work right now, idk how long it'll take for them to fix.

Our GG machine has PS2 ports that you can plug your controller into. I know there's a lot of GG players who play on pad, so that's why I got it installed.

So, I'm planning ahead for next year, and I figure a monthish break would be good (it would give people time to enjoy the holidays and to prevent their heads from exploding during finals). So the date I'm thinking of starting the tournaments again (remember 12/12 will be our last tournament of the year) will be January 23rd. Arcana Heart 3 will be out by then and hopefully BlazBlue CS2 will be out for consoles. Idk what the TvC guys are planning with MvC3 just around the corner at that time, Feb 15th; but for now I'll just plan around the airdasher games. At the start of Season 2011, everybody's character stats will start over. I've also revamped the point system a little bit. Hopefully we can jump start getting Melty Blood back in these tournaments, too. Just to review the times, here's how the schedule will be planned to go: 2PM: Guilty Gear Melty Blood Arcana Heart 5PM: BlazBlue Vampire Savior Tatsunoko Arcana Heart is going in the 2PM slot because it will be run on PS3s and we also need PS3s for BB, so AH and BB need to be in two different slots. Also, if I could get volunteers for any 2PM slot games, Arcana Heart, Guilty Gear, or Melty Blood, that would be great. I can take one, but all three would be a hand-full. And if anyone would be willing to bring in a PS2 for Melty Blood that would be greatly appreciated. (If anyone can help me fix my PS2 that would be good, too. I hear I just need to turn a gear a little bit in order to make the discs get read.) P.S. I'll be putting in VS during our Thursday casuals, so come down for VS, also!

Oh, Brett I have your 2nd place winnings from GG. I'll give it to you if I see you on Thurs.

It was great seeing everybody again, and Vampire Savior seemed to be a BB/GG crowd vs TvC crowd. Thanks to everyone who helped out, Rotanibor and RoyalFlush especially (for holding Vampire Savior and Tatsunoko). The next tournament will be in two weeks again: December 12th, so be sure to make it! That will also be our last tournament of the year (no tourney on 12/26). I'll post character rankings in a bit.

Will do.

So I got JoJos installed, but it's not quite ready yet. I'm having problems getting the credit switch to activate (The harnessing was set for a 6 button game and JoJos is 4 button so I have to do some modifications). Oh, and it's the updated version: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future. I've been practicing my Lillith and Jedah a bit, so hopefully we'll see some good matches tomorrow!

I think it's the first english version (JoJo's Venture, not JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Heritage for the Future). The second version has 8 additional characters.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention something. No promises, but...

Their site seems down. If you're getting the PS1 version, there's some slight changes to console that you should be aware of. Most notably, they changed Dark Forces from P+K to an actual super move, and there's characters that aren't in the arcade version.
