Since we’re on the subject, Charging Star comics in Johnson City used to hold weeklies when vanilla MvC3 first came out, kinda died out due to lack of interest though. I’ve been trying to get the owner to start it up again for Ultimate, so feel free to leave him a message to let him know if you’re interested.
I don’t have a facebook so i can’t look at the page but i would go for some MvC!
I may be able to get 1-2 of my friends who like MvC to come if the owner starts it up.
awesome, I should be able to get 2-3 or my own friends, and I can think of around 4 guys who used to play at those weeklies but I never got any contact info from them, I’m sure they talk to the owner still though
Typically this was done on Friday nights, around 9 or 10 pm, would that be a problem for anyone?
If they are done on Friday nights, no problem there. Monday - Thursday i have school so i wouldn’t be able to make it.
I’m guessing that he would be doing tournaments so like $10 fee to play?
Also would you guys be up for any other games?Blazblue,Street Fighter,Mortal Kombat?
I play MvC mainly so i’m good with actually being able to play REAL People in that.
I would like to start learning Arcana. My friend got it and it seemed interesting to me.
I play Tsubaki in Blazblue.
Anyways i would definitely come to tournaments on Fridays if the owner of the comic store starts to hold them.
At the moment I really only play Marvel3 as far as new games go. BB I could see drawing a crowd just because it’s a comic shop and a drawn game lol, and like I said if someone wants to teach me I’m willing to learn it. I recall seeing a few SF TE sticks at the old weeklies, so I’m sure there are SF4 players as well if we can get the word out. I play a little AE myself, but basically just do old school SF2 Gief tricks, I don’t study enough for SF4. 3S I can definitely play a bit of though. The shop owner used to do MK weeklies when that came out too, but those also kinda died down, he didn’t advertise much, and a good portion of the crowd at the time were Yu-Gi-Oh players that just stuck around, I think. Unfortunately I never see anyone play AH3 I guess I could learn it though
iirc he did $5 buy in per person, with the winnings being in store credit dependent on number of entries
btw did any of guys happen to post on his FB page? I saw 2 other people mention it in the last few days but don’t want to overshoot the numbers on him
Sweet. I’m alright with store credit cause me and my brother read a lot of X-Men comics.
I would probably pay $5 for every game he had there running.
I don’t have a Facebook though and i don’t really want to make one, but i am definitely someone who would be there
lol.
If you want to learn BlazBlue one of my friends is like the top rated Hazama on the leader boards, he would be a pretty good person to teach us.
I just want someone to teach me how to play Arcana and some MvC2.
And I rock a Dudley in 3S and SFIV, so i’d be up for some 3S.
An event for UMvC3 would be pretty good .
Who do you guys plan on using, if you don’t mind my asking?
For me i’m definitely using Iron Fist and Rocket Raccoon.
As far as who I’ll use, I’m a Magneto main for better or worse, luckily it seems to keep getting better I’ve been putting a lot of time into Viper over the last few weeks too, so I’ll probably use her. I kinda switch around for my thirds between Doom, Tasky, Sent, Akuma, and run a fun gimmick team of Haggar/Felicia/Akuma a good amount as well.
As far as the new guys go, Rocket looks like the most fun, probably the only one I would dedicate a whole team to. The rest is likely whatever assists help Magneto the most.
I’ll get in touch with the owner asap
This probably doesn’t even need to be said but Skullgirls tourneys will be a must.
Skullgirls tourneys for sure.
Do any of you have a stick i could use ther?I’m getting one for Christmas and i want to get as much practice on one as i can so i don’t have a terrible time switching from pad to a stick.
I’m really happy that Binghamton is actually getting a scene for fighting games now!
I also have an old vanilla SF4 stick, it needs new buttons and/or wiring though.
I heard back from the shop owner today, says he’d prefer a minimum of 10 participants.
As I understand it, we have between 3-5 potential players right now?
EDIT-if we can’t get this happening at the comic shop in time for release and subsequent hype, I can hold casuals at my place until we get our numbers up, if that would help anyone advertise
You, me, and Fox Pocket seems like a definite 3 already.
I can get like 1-2 of my friends.
Fox Pocket also said he could advertise it at BCC?That would probably get an alright amount of people.
I guess I could learn it though
