^ Move to GG, we're still hype on Cincy.

First off, me and Vyers were talking about how we feel like we've hit a wall (hope you don't mind my sharing, Vyers.) If anybody knows how I can be better, please let me know. It may be that everyone else is just smarter than me, but then I look at Marn, and admittedly I don't know him well at all, but he doesn't strike me as being as intelligent as some people he beats in tournaments. Also, it was funny that Vyers mentioned a flu and hearing problems, because the same thing pretty much happened to me and my left ear had been full of crud for two weeks, and finally cleared out somehow today. And now for some shoutings. Anybody reads this don't know who I was, I was red Testament. Ghaleon and co, thank you for the pot bonus for GG. You didn't need to do that, but it totally helped bring people out, I think. No way to make everyone happy with the streams, so please ignore any complaints about that. Sorry you had problems with the cabs too, but it's hard to run something of that scale and have everything go perfectly. Had an awesome time. Hope it was worth it to you guys. JERSEY! You guys are my new favorite. DoomieTim, a thousand curses upon you and your family for putting me in losers and warranting EVERYTHING I DID (which was mostly just exe beast, but...) Fun matches though for sure. Also good convo. 6o9tenshtaws is a TWOLL! Love that Johnny. Matches with you are awesome. Been digging your youtube vids for a while. They make me wish I played Johnny well. I don't though. Still, it's cool that you've made such a contribution to whatever remnants of a community we have left. Why did you get bored of Tekken? T6 is cool. BBQ we only played one match in teams:( However you did help my drunk pal out with some Axl tips, so we'll see if he remembers anything or not. Also, we didn't really talk at all, so we'll have to do something about that later. Stickbug, "get BLOOOOOWN UP" is my favorite thing from the whole weekend. I will never forget that. I may start using it locally. I may also get a tattoo that says that. Can I get some soundbites from you? I don't know what I'd do with them, but I'd probably just listen to them every day so I don't go through withdrawals. Teach me how to irl troll like you please. We didn't really play matches though, but you probably would have gotten blown up. Big thanks to Paul Crofts for letting me crash at his place. Also good matches as always. Thanks for teaming with us. Shtkn, also thanks to teaming with us. Also thanks for coming from the other side of the country for this. Sorry we got shtkn'ed, but I guess that's how it goes sometimes. Thanks for the OCV though that was nice. Also awesome matches. For some reason fighting Ky is just fun. Ladies, from the tournament thread, I thought you were the same person with two usernames because you had two almost identical posts like a page apart. Guess not though. Thanks to the sol/pot/hos lady with the long set. If you switched from pot because I said out loud that I suck at that matchup, please don't it just means I need to play him more. If it's just because it was getting boring that's cool though. HOS jp, jp, jp, land, throw all day vs me:( Ky lady I wanted to play you more because I lost and didn't get a chance to redeem myself. Thanks for flying out. Haylmunkee, thanks for traveling. Nice meeting you. You seem to be a jovial fellow, always smiling. Brightened my day. I think I played your Pot for a second and lost for free. Wanted to play your Baiken, but didn't play your Baiken. Bleh. Mike Z, another wc guy, another thanks for coming. Thanks also for vs pot advice, though I wasn't able to implement very well yet. I will keep it in mind and work on it though. Lots of people picking up GG in Ohio, and nobody wants to play Potemkin. How do I sell somebody on playing Potemkin? Alzarath! Best Testament there. 5d frc? ok, whatever. Also warranted me for free. Your Testament color is admittedly the best, but when I picked my color, that one was too popular and the espadas (remember them?) claimed it so I went with a different color. Wokizeme, good meeting you, thanks for coming all that way, and good stuff in gg, I think we only played in teams. Dizzy is scary. Zoogles, Testament vs Zappa is so unhealthy for you, but towards the end of our set you were slaughtering me. Also saw a few of your matches against other people. Impressive stuff. Vyers, thanks for getting teams together. It never happens, so it was awesome that it actually happened this time. I was really glad because I went 0-2 in singles and was glad I had another chance to do something. Didn't get to play you, but maybe someday. Until then, let's us both try to level up our game or whatever yeah? Also, I feel you on the hearing problems. That was me too, actually. Hope you get better though. Bluenine, good May, but you caused me to go 0-2 in singles and that made me very sad. Hopefully I will play Kyle a lot, step up my game, and be ready to jump out of throws next time. A3, Johnny too strong. Tick throws on me all day. Mist in corner spells game ovarr. What did you say you read that helped you a lot? I could use something that would help me a lot. Moroha, thanks for letting me get at your ABA. I didn't want to play your stupid Millia. Nobody wants to play your Millia. I was sad when I didn't see you on the brackets last week, but was really excited when I heard you were coming after all. We have 3 ABA players in Ohio and none of them showed up lol. You're a funny guy. Chase, thanks for running brackets. You are cool. We didn't get to play, but I kinda wanted to play the farther away people and I'm sure we'll get a chance soon. I really wanted that outdoor setup, but instead I took my tv out there prematurely and it got jacked. It's kind of like a dream of mine to play GG outside though. Kyle, we gotsa play a LOOOOOONG LOOOONG set next time I see you until I figure out the May matchup once and for all. Sean, thanks for participating after all. I don't know what happened, but it wouldn't have been the same without you. It would have been different. Eric, thanks for supporting the scene by being the manliest driver EVER. Nobody loves this game more than you. Bet it. Hope your new job doesn't kill your attendance and by proxy Paul's and Matt's. Thanks also for good matches as always and bringing that laundry computer as always. Locals, we have a lot of people picking up GG now, and an opportunity for a really healthy scene if we nurture its growth and don't ignore the nubz that are trying to learn. Mac, let's do better next time. I feel like if I were able to challenge you harder, you would be better prepared for this kind of thing. I'll try to figure it out. Special shouts to the guy that lifted my TV. It's kinda my fault because I left it outside, but unless your name is also Matt Moreland, it's probably not yours. Thankfully CRTs are cheap now, and I also have plenty 'round the house. Still, it's bad to do bad things. JetM, good job in BB. If you ever feel like applying that skill to GG, let me know. Cue, I forgot about you because we only played the one match in teams. Thanks for helping me order the chicken bowl. Trolled me with that shadow gallery crossup, then I saw you pull the same thing again a bit later. I bet if I'd been watching you earlier, I woulda been ready for that, and I wouldn't have been as free. Your Eddie's still a beast though. Love it when old schoolers like yourself make it out. ChaCha, I'm sure you don't read this, but it hurt my heart to see you wearing a romancancel shirt and not playing GG. Also, guys, please keep an eye on here. It would be nice if GG had at least a showing to match SB's GG next time.

Yeah, it does look like Jake's gonna be there.

No blacksnakes this time?

Hey, Paul. PM me your address or else I'll just call you if I don't hear from you soon enough.

Jack. Why would you do that?

So the song, the Final Countdown is going to get into his GI tract? Also, I can see an argument for why you would capitalize all of the words you chose to, except for "Gastro."

Chase, if you get pre-reg info that can help with 23 on 23 in the next couple days, let me know.

Nobody believes in Magic

Guys, please don't give Ghaleon grief for anything. I know matches will be hype, but if you're in this thread, you're probably going to be there watching/playing them anyway, and there's nothing preventing us from just recording the matches and showing them later. If you're worried about doing something to revive your scene, you can do more for that locally than by putting the game on the stream and hoping everybody doesn't just leave and ignore it until their game comes up. Ghaleon and co. have done enough for us already. It would be nice if we could have the whole tournament streamed, but not having it doesn't hurt anybody, and given the choice I'd much rather have the space and the pot bonus than have a stream uploaded that nobody is guaranteed to watch.

I got a setup and tv as well.

Yes, Eric is right. This highly unlikely to happen. But if it was going to happen at all, it was going to require some organization beforehand. Also, yes this would hopefully be for the best players, which excludes me, by the way. You can I guess mirror match for your spot or something, but if everybody does that it will take way too long. Hopefully everyone is a good sport and recognizes when somebody else deserves their spot. That said, not knowing who is going to be there, we don't even know how to break up the teams yet, so yeah. Lots of hurdles to clear before we can figure this out, and because of that, the likelihood of this happening is low.

Mac, we don't know yet, but if we can do region, I think that would be great. One of the reasons this thread exists is so that we can look at everybody we have and find out how to divide them up.

What about Jason Kim? Will he be there?

Oh, I see how that looked now that I look again, but I was suggesting Kenji for running singles if he's there. And I was also asking about the probability of being able to run teams on Saturday night.

Sorry I didn't play you the whole night, Mac. Also, I like AC enough. Don't need a new one. Also GG scene here is possibly growing, so that's cool too. If at some point there is absolutely nobody to play against then that will suck. 3rd strike and Marvel survived much longer without an update, so maybe GG can I dunno.

So I doubt a 23 on 23 is possible, but it would be awesome, so in order to find out if we can do it, we need to make sure each character in the game will be represented twice at least at Season's Beatings. Let's keep it simple for now. Post up if you're going, the character you play, where you're from, and what days you plan on being there (and able to do a tournament.) I will edit this post with the info. Actually, put up your character first as it will make the information easier to sift through. AX - bbq sauce - NJ - Fri-Sun BA - Vyers - New Hampshire - Friday (mad late) through Sunday DI - Paul - OH - Fri-Sun ED - yeknom - CA - friday-sunday ED - Havoc - OH - Fri-Sun FA - Chase Magic - KY - Fri-Sun FA - NerdJosh - NYC/CT/Nebraska - Friday-Sunday JA - Amadeous - OH - Sat-Sun JO - A3Religion - NY - Friday-Sunday KY - shtkn - california - Friday and saturday KY - Ky-Sama - Hawaiizona Fri-Sun MA - Kyle - KY - Friday (Late)-Sun MA - Bluenine - MA - Fri-Sun OR - kamui - oh - fri-sun OR - Titanium Beast! - NC - Fri-Sun OR - greek/greasygyro(whatever) - ny - friday through sundayy SL - MacArthur Blunts (OH) fri-sun SO - Sol Bumguy - Hawaiizona - Fri-Sun SO - Abominable K - Maryland - Fri-Sun SO - VR-Raiden - VA - Fri-Sun TE - Doragonkoroshi - Ohio - Fri, Sat TE - Doomie - NJ - Fri-Sun Edit: also, if you know of somebody that's going, but doesn't normally post, post their info up will ya?

If we want to even attempt a 23 on 23, we need prereg list. I vote we start a new thread and find out what kind of character representation we have. Edit: 23 on 23 thread HERE. Ghaleon, you said we can do teams Saturday night, right? If Kenji is there, maybe he can run brackets? I don't know if he'd want the responsibility, but he gets my vote.

What's wrong in Cleveland? Everybody in Cincy and Cbus is cool.

I REALLY doubt we have the character representation for this. How many Venom, I-no, Bridget, Chipp players are even in the country, and then are two of each of those even attending? How do we divide up teams?

Mac won again. I choked big time in the last round against Jacob. I missed the finals between Mac and Jacob because I was in another ranbat and they didn't wait on me. Zach the Millia player got 3rd.

I'll be sure to check that out. Haven't watched any matches since SBO finals (which were hype). I probably would have missed this if you hadn't mentioned it. Thanks, bruh.

^ if you can cover any character tutorials that aren't already out there though, that would be cool.

Ranbat tomorrow at Arcade Legacy. Come on out.

Bump for next Saturday.
