I'm so hype. EDIT: Damn, I wasn't hoping it wouldn't post this big. Now everyone can see all the little places I haven't fixed yet. :/

Haha, I don't think you know how far away I live. :P I was just planning on taking my own car up to Antioch if that was cool. EDIT: With my folks, I mean. I'm 99% sure I'll be able to drive my own way up there. :3

Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads up, Astaroth. I think I'll just get a "drive safely" talk instead of a "no you can't go at all" talk after looking at the forecast for Friday and Saturday. :]

Damn, now I'm not sure I'LL be able to make it. My parents flip their shit whenever we get the slightest of snow (even my mom who used to live in Ohio), so I'm hoping it'll be mostly clear by Saturday or that it somehow passes us.

http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/ Seriously though, I'm sad. D: I was looking forward to playing you and beating you this tourney. I don't mean to rub salt in the wound if you can't, but are you sure you can't put 'em off for another day or two? Like... You can't move stuff from your old house if your car isn't fixed by Saturday, and I'd be more than happy to give you a ride to and from the tourney. :P

It's funny because it's true.

JAPANESE ≠ WEEABOO

This is unrelated, but in case you don't keep up with jourdal's channel. WATCH THIS SHIT NOW. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMYhxA7gjVo FUCKING NOW.

*Spams double Berial Edge combos to get 50+ Heat and do ~50% damage on...* Oh, wait a minute. That happens to EVERY character. :3

You missed it. Naimat was getting salty for Astaroth's use of 2D and frustratingly called it the "electric truck" last night.

I expected a GIGANTIC TAGER joke. :/

Hey Milln. I heard you're in the market for a... Saved as a .png so you don't have to crop anything. :3

Dang, sorry Milln. I wasn't trying to 1-Up yours or anything. :/ I'm sure someone will still give it a happy home, though. :D

That Electric Truck's pretty good Milln. Buuuuuuuuuut... Oh, and Valkenhype:

Can I find you stalking me on GameFAQs too? O_o

Psh. I am. XD

I agree with this notion (with, admittedly, a little bias).

Hype re-get. :D

Agreed. :D That certainly sounds interesting. I'm all for other people going for Astrals, too. The more Astrals the merrier! :3 We actually talked about that already. We were like "naaaaaaaaah." :P

You may get further in the tourney, but you'll NEVAR get more Astrals, ESPECIALLY as Bang. Also, "loser gets Astraled" is redundant, seeing as I'll have already done it to you by then. :3

What the fuuuuuuuck? That's such bullshit. Arcade Edition's going to be jacking all our hype. D: I mean... Not MY hype, but the general public's for sure. I've been practicing every day and I STILL don't feel like I've improved much, though. I was recording some of my older matches (watching them at the same time) and I swear I played better a few months ago than I do now. :/ Which reminds me. I went out and bought a component cable for my 360. After doing a bit of research, it turns out you don't NEED an HDMI port to use them. Stupid me thought I did for the longest time. So yeah, I'll be bringing my 360 and both composite and component cables for the tourney. :]

But I'm baaaaaaad at trainiiiiiiiiiiiiing. D:

Sweet. Thanks so much for the feedback Astaroth, and for the response Milln. I know what you mean about running composite on HD T.V.s. I'd bet we'll be seeing more standard T.V.s than HD ones anyway, so I'll just go ahead and bring my Xbox too. So basically, here's what I'll be bringing: Xbox 360 (Standard Def/Composite), 360 Hard Drive, BBCS, 2 Plug 'N Plays (in case people using a wireless 360 controller need to borrow one), 3 Capture Cards, 2 laptops, at least 2 External Hard Drives, and a Tekken Fight Stick (in case someone wants to borrow a mediocre fight stick). Damn, I'm going to need a freaking suitcase. XD The one thing I WON'T be able to bring is a T.V. set. Mine is simply too bulky to fit in my car and it weighs a TON, so I apologize and hope more people will be able to bring sets. Just a reminder, if we're going to maximize how many matches we record at a time, I'll need someone to volunteer their firewire-enabled laptop/computer (preferably the former, though beggars can't be choosers) to be a recording medium. I'll have an external hard drive to store the matches on, so you wouldn't even have to worry about them eating up your hard drive space. And like Milln said, if you don't want your matches recorded/put on Youtube, please let Milln or myself know ASAP. We can turn off the recording devices for your matches and/or simply not upload them if you decide after the match you don't want them to.

Just to clarify, when you say you want us to "NOT come in here with composite cables on a flatscreen tv" does that mean you ONLY want 360s with composite cables, and/or we'll ONLY be playing on High-Def T.V.s? If that's the case, I won't be able to bring my 360- it's not HDMI-enabled. I wouldn't mind bringing my Hard Drive in case people wanted DLC colors, and/or we need another with Makoto/Valk, though. No matter what it is, I don't mind being at the arcade at around 10:30-11:00. Something else I've been meaning to bring up and get some feedback on is recording devices. As ridiculous as it might sound, I have three capture cards at the moment- one Hauppauge HD PVR (USB, works with HDMI/component~), one Dazzle Plus HD (USB, composite), and one Firewire Dazzle (firewire, composite). If the majority of you guys want to record matches, be them for the tourney OR friendlies, I'd be more than happy to oblige. I should be able to bring two laptops (mine and my dad's) to record with the Hauppauge and the Dazzle HD if that's the case. However, I no longer have access to a firewire-enabled computer, so if you all want to record with that one I'll need a volunteer. If anyone's willing to offer their firewire-accessable computer (preferably a laptop) I'd DEFINITELY bring an external hard drive so you wouldn't have to worry about your space being filled up. Also, if it turns out we're only playing on H.D. T.V.s/component 360s (including for friendlies), the Dazzle Plus HD/Firewire Dazzle will be rendered useless, and I won't even bring them. That's another reason I want to know the position on that ASAP. ... and if you all DON'T want to record these, please let me know. I get the feeling I was pushing the recording thing last time, and I felt pretty bad afterwards when the finals had to be played on a shitty T.V. and I wasn't even sure people cared about it being recorded. I won't be offended or anything if the majority of you guys would rather let what happens at the arcade stay at the arcade. I just need some feedback, that's all. :3 Oh, and one more thing- I'll be voting for IHOP.

Ah, I see Milln. Sorry for the false alarm everyone. Good to know everything's already taken care of. :D
