Berkeley / Brocade thread

oh nooo prop 19!!! =( my dreammmmssss…

ok so i have an idea, and it might be too short of a notice to implement in two weeks, but…

how about a recorded bkd tournament? we’ll have a setup to record matches with commentary. i vote louie and peter on commentary.

c’mon peter, what kind of equipment do we need to get this thing going!?

well for starters, we’ll need a bong or two.

i’m down

bkd’s garden

ok so imma be in bay area from about the 16th or so and stay maybe a week. here’s my thoughts for bkd garden:

since i believe ncr is 20th-21st (sat/sun), we can’t have bkd garden that weekend. but a less-than-20-man tourney should be completely doable on a weeknight. maybe friday night before ncr?

what we need:

1 HD PVR
1 TV/monitor
1 really good computer
2 headsets?

HD PVR is almost $200, and i’ll be willing to ‘borrow’ it from w-mart dot com (they don’t sell them in physical stores) for the tourney, then ‘give it back’ when we’re done – unless someone wants to keep it, in which case i’ll donate it for communal bkd use.

i’m assuming we’ll have a tv or monitor to play on.

we need someone with an awesome enough laptop with enough space to handle the video. any volunteers?

the last part i’m really not sure about… i think commentary is necessary to make it a complete project, but i dunno how to get two headsets into a computer without a mixer or something, and especially with hd video being recorded in the background. maybe we’ll have to record the commentary on a different computer. but that doesn’t solve the 2 headsets problem.

if things work out more or less, it’ll be really awesome for future bkd gatherings. who knows. or maybe it’ll turn out to be too much work. but it’s worth a shot.

i’m serious about this!

edit: ok, there are USB based mics. cool.

i have like 3 rock band mics if we need em lol

BDK Garden would be awesome if you guys can pull it off.
Finals would be like LBaigo vs Bihndevu.
With “What It Do” Louieouieouie and “Tapatalk” Peter doing commentary.

Pull it off Sam. Pull it off.

By the way, Abel vs Cammy is a 0-10 matchup in Cammy’s favor. What the fuck do I do?

Hella BKDsgarden

might be other ppl in the finals too if some of the old school peeps happen to be around. have tae and david been playing much lately?

so i think we have everything except:

  • good computer for recording (btw, peter, does the hauppas or wutever pvr work with mac?)
  • set date so that most ppl will be able to make it

is it? what are you having trouble with?

have you guys seen the vryu makoto compilation yet:

[media=youtube]MCfF8w7dHUY&feature=player_embedded[/media]

it made me realize just how important option selects are becoming in street fighter. given i actually didn’t learn 3s or any other fighter very deeply before, but it just seems like the input leniency in sf4 has created the possibility for almost programming your character to win.

sure, you can’t ever cover all options, but it seems like there are way more opportunities to do option selects now.

it also made me re-heed daigo’s opinion that you should commit yourself to a main to learn them inside out.

or maybe fighting games were always this deep and complicated and i’m just a virgin getting overwhelmed at just realizing the possibilities.

anyway… gonna go to training mode and try to xcopy the 10000 new things i saw in that vryu video now.

ok ignore all that whining in the above post.

as kids these days like to say…

REAL TALK.

i’m retarded: i dunno why i didn’t add them up before, but the 18th is also bkd’s (closing’s) 5th anniversary. that’s PERFECT for bkdgarden.

can we get some voices saying if thursday the 18th or friday the 19th is better for gathering??? (and where… keke).

let’s fucking DO this.

alex valle vs daigo (ryu mirror) at SCR was bar none the most technical and exciting match of SF4 that i’ve ever watched… those two put on a god damn “how to play street fighter” clinic. hella footsies

filipino champ is too good

oh yeah this too [media=youtube]MqklmkHfB8I&feature=player_embedded#[/media]!

i’ve already told my work i’ll be coming in late on the 19th for bkd jesah

sounds good. where though? friday night might be better if it’s gonna be at my place. some of yall can sleep over and caravan to NCR on saturday too.

weeknights are a little tricky

Friday would be better for me

Thurs / Fri good for me, but Fri at LB’s is preferred for location

Thur: 1
Fri: 4

uhhhhhhhhhhhfriday?

Thur: 1
Fri: 4

hahaha, so what else do we need? if you guys are serious about it, we’ll need some commitments and organizing.

Sam are you getting the capture card? I can bring some usb mics as well if we need…

I heard there’s good ramen in san mateo y/n
