TaoFTW

The quality was meh, but w/e. Stuff got recorded, but somebody dropped my phone. WHO WAS IT!? >:O

Furry up! :3

Everything should be ready no later than 12pm. I'm not going to be there, but you guys can handle that. Also, there were issues with LCD lag. Keep that in mind as you start making setups.

ALL of the matches, or just the one where you turtled all day?

Hey, don't diss the CUP-POD. I was, simply, trying to be resourceful with the stuff that was around me; so regardless of whether it was ghetto or not, IT WORKED! Regardless, I'm going to organize the videos to look more aesthetically pleasing. So please be patient with the uploads. :3

Don't worry, I'm thinking of some new anti-tech throw strats ESPECIALLY for you! Btw, Mr. Orion, I'm sorry I didn't record your elite comeback. That was incredible. yes....YES!!! Yes, except some scrub knocked over my phone! >:O WHO NEEDS A TRIPOD WHEN YOU HAVE A CUP-POD!

Just so you know, I am going to be busy on friday from 11 - 9pm. I'll be at MGL - maybe - at 9:30. :3

Seeing as how I'm going to be in Fremont for dinner on Friday, I may just stop by MGL for some random casuals.

The NorCal ranbat standings will determine who gets to enter. But, first things first, we have to take care of the logistics first before we can set any rules.

5v5 ggac would be an exhibition match. Everything is still pending and subject to change, but we'll see how things work out.

Don't worry, there will always be next time!

It's there, but invisible to the human eye. :3

Everything is still up in the air, but we are looking at the second weekend of August. There is still a lot of work to do to get this minor flying sky high.

In the land, before time, there was once a diety who called himself, 'NorCal INSTALL!' Now he metamorphosed into... NorCal 'MINOR' Install! Revenge of the Grudgematch! Time and Place Pending Did you forfeit your match during EVO prelims after slamming the pause button to say, "I'M RENDER!" Were you salty that some unknown May player dizzied you in casuals? Did you want to redeem your dignity after losing to some scrub masher? If you said nodded your head screaming, "YES," then I invite you to Northern California's first minor regionals featuring games that doesn't include SSF4. :o! Guilty Gear AC (Hosted by: KatanaDash & Tenkai) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Melty Blood AA (Hosted by: Tsubasa & Dakanya) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Blazblue CS (Hosted by: Spirit Juice & Aginor) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Tekken 6 (*Pending?) - 2v2 - Singles - *5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition ST Turbo (**Pending?) - Singles [On Dreamcast] * = I want to talk to the Tekken community and see what's their take on this gig. I, barely, dabbled into their scene and don't want to leave a bad impression. ** = I, also, don't have much say in the ST community, so this is still up in the air. *** We simply don't have the staff and volunteers to run a, grandose, minor. So, based on feedback from the community and tournament organizers, SSF4 is out of the question. The whole point of NorCal INSTALL! is to revive a - supposed - dead scene with hopes to extend our reach to a new generation of FGers. As for the Aksys sponsor, I can only hope and - cross my fingers - that they received my voicemail and respond ASAP. And I sure hope that Koogy would be, more than willing, to lend us a hand. Thanks for the advice Mr. Coopa. I will give you a free 720 on my Rawrgna. Things to do to get Minor high-n-rolling: - Secure a venue: (Convention Space or Hotel) - Secure sponsors: (AksysGames, KOOGY-CON) - Contact big names from SoCal & NorCal: (Haunts, Mike Z, Goryus/CopperDabbit, etc.) - Organize, discreet, MM: (SPRTJUICE SAILOR MOON MM) - Organize, discreet, sidebets?: (Coopa, you're going have to help me on this one) - Equipment and setups: (What's the best way to secure setups? Do we ask the community to bring equipment or do we buy our own setups?) What is the best way to minimize theft? Post-its don't work, but what works? - Streaming: (Feel free to share ideas) NorCal INSTALL! Magz stream site IPW - Organizing Exhibition matches: (WHO?!, what, where, why, HOW?! Do we have to charge people for a buy-in or give some sort of cookie to the winner?) - Date: (Aginor suggested the 2nd week of August, is this legit to everyone? Also that's the week of Aginor and I Bday. :3) That's all I can think out of the top of my head. Feel free to add to the list.

Once again, thanks for the positive hype guys. KatanaDash post is now updated on the front page. Unfortunately, I cannot come to this ranbat (work, family, stuff). But I hope you guys can manage the hype. Hope things work out.

I can bring in COMPLEMENTARY DONUTS! :o!

Can I get a special Tao only offer?

I'm posting on here for interest check. So here are my concerns: 1) Would SoCal be willing to get their top 5 players to compete in a NorCal vs. SoCal exhibition match? 2) Mike Z, assuming I can get a venue, I will be - more than willing - to help you promote your Skull Girls alongside the tournament. I've always been a fan of doujin fighters and want your game to gain some ground. Therefore, (a) can you come up to NorCal, (b) could you create an 3v3 or 5v5 exhibition match? 3) Do people still play Guilty Gear? 4) Is the 2nd week of August a good day for you all? Feel free to share any thoughts, feedback, concerns, issues or jokes. Right on Mr. Coopa. I appreciate your efforts! I'm still busy up to my ass with work and, frankly, I've been busy trying to get them done in SOME particular order. SO, keeping that in mind, I appreciate your efforts. The reality is that I need to have somebody back me up in case I can't pitch this minor. In the event that something - outside of my control - happens, I need to know that we can have backup. With a fair amount of meditation and feedback, here's my - unofficial - pitch: Guilty Gear AC (Hosted by: KatanaDash & Tenkai) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Melty Blood AA (Hosted by: Tsubasa & Dakanya) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Blazblue CS (Hosted by: Spirit Juice & Aginor) - 2v2 - Singles - 5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition Tekken 6 (*Pending?) - 2v2 - Singles - *5v5 NorCal vs. SoCal Exhibition ST Turbo (**Pending?) - Singles [On Dreamcast] * = I want to talk to the Tekken community and see what's their take on this gig.
