Ryan usually brings his PS3, I have mine, plus my Wii, Kyles bringing an extra small tv, besides that PS2/GC converter I can’t think of anything else. Though feel free to bring whatever.
aaawww yyeeahhh kyle.
I’ll try and shoot for games today. Who is still playin that BB jump off or has it already jumped out?
Hey guys - I’m way behind in reading this thread but here are a few reasons to not do single sets -
1 - It’s not the tournament format.
2 - Encourages gimmicks, random ultras, etc
3 - We have to keep track of more wins - do you want to count 100 tally marks?
But hey, lets try it both ways, see what we like.
Yeah, everyone’s still playing it.
I still play BB:CS. Tsubaki is just plain fun. Though I doubt I’ll ever try to be truly competitive in that game.
As to the objections to single sets:
- True
- Well, tournaments are going to have shit like that as well. Better to learn how to deal with it more reliably.
- The console already keeps track of win streaks. So when someone loses, just take note of the number before it disappears.
yeah i’m still down to play BB:CS, but just like phil said i don’t think i’ll ever care to be good in that game haha, i’ll still play it for fun for sure.
just take a vote at the barcade for single or bo3. honestly both have their pros and cons.
IMO you guys shouldn’t start the king of the machine event till there are a good amount of people. i know that me and jeff gonna be a bit later than some of you guys showing up @ 3.
yeah i wont be there til like 6, hopefully a good amount of ppl show up for it. or we will have to run saturdays at chas every once and awhile
deicded not to go i dont have the gas nor the money for food at all to be traveling, and i dont wanna bug my parents for money since they are strapped for money as well because of me. sry.
I’m gonna roll with Kyle at 5ish. I found 2 xb/gc2ps2 converters and i will leave them at the barcade for general use.
also cha informed me that my stick as not at his place( t5 ps2 stick) it might be at the barcarde or so0meone might have grabbed it by accident
i have it still since NEC.
So JS master has let me know that Wednesday night, he would like to come down and play, not only play, but play for some money. Aside from Jug, who wants to take this mans money?
He will post here with details, he said he will be in town around 7-8pm wednesday. I work till 830, so if we gonna do it at my place we will have to start at 9. Wanna just move game night for that week to wednesday?

Hey guys, way to make that barcade poppin. Be proud Celes that place is really shaping up. It was great that we had people playing all sorts of games, even if they’re broken till proven innocent =P
GGs to everyone I played yesterday. I had loads of great matches with a lot of people, Phil, Des, the Ps, Jug, good shit.
A couple of thoughts on King of the Machine -
I think there is a huge advantage to the guy on a streak at the machine. It’s not just the momentum he gets from winning either. Everyone goes off and plays other games, and then sits down to play sf4 right away. They come in cold - maybe its not a big factor but I bet it contributed.
To fix this, I’m not sure what to do. Maybe no one’s ever gonna go on a big streak again, but we might need a new rule. Say, you run through your group (once, possibly twice so people get a shot to beat the guy they lost to) then you simply go to the back of the rotation. You have enough wins to be safe anyway. Maybe that ruins the spirit, you guys decide. It kinda seems unfair that one guy plays 20 matches or whatever, and the others play 4. Maybe that’s just part of it? Did you guys do it again? How’d it go?
Last thing, special shoutout to Phil for being totally beastly. You’re really improving man.
Last last thing - A big MAYBE on Wed night. I’m thinking about going, same with Jeff3. I’m just not huge on MMs.
Thanks for the compliments…
Unfortunately, after you left people didn’t seem up to continuing the rotation. Nobody really knew what to do and certain people were getting too into tvc… So it pretty much became free for all after that.
I do think a rule to exempt a dominant player would probably be good. Two rotations and then back of the line sounds good. Then after that, one full rotation.
Another thing… people that are playing other games should be willing to just get up and take their turn right when it comes up. Unless we’re planning on instituting a king of the machine for other games concurrently… I don’t know.
Also, Celest… Maybe you might consider sacrificing a control pad and rewiring it for your settings? Yeah, you shouldn’t need to… But I think it could help a little to keep things going smoothly…
I’d be interested in the wednesday thing. Not a fan of money matches either. But I’m sure that won’t be all that’s going on.
All right since game night is switched to Wednesday, and Zach has an exam Thursday he’s studying for, probably gonna have people over for some Teeken on Thursday night, not sure what time yet. Jug I know you were interested last week, so I’m givin you some advance notice lol, go take JS Master’s money on Wednesday, and let me know if you’re free Thursday.
I’ll throw down 20 bucks on my brother in a best of 5 against JS, he’s got a decent chance at beating him.
I really wish i was in town for this. I’d like some redemption for mine and JS’s last match.
It couldn’t get any worse at least.
yo sup buffalo… just like chacha said, i’ll be in town weds night. i’ll be accepting any MMs up to $50 in SF4. And i also play mvsc2, cvs2, 3s, A3 as well if u guys wanna play me in those games
looking forward to play u guys again :woot:
ps. I’m gonna beast on jug dis time :wgrin:
haha! A3? I’ll play you in that to! I call my self Guyofkaillera for a reason *winks
but yeah I’ll be there to play, but it’ll be strictly casual for me. As you already know I don’t do money matches,
but I’m sure someone is willing to bet with you if you insist on doing so. Also I just picked up Fei-Long, I’m curious
to see how he does against your Bal
