so, what’s this week’s tourney? mvc2 or 3s? and what is the prize anyway? i didn’t stay long enough last sat cuz gf stuffs…so i’m really curious about the price…why?
because
i…will…win…mvc2…ray…you…are…not…going…to…perfect…me…never…
I don’t know what the prize will be for this coming week, simply because the owner forgot to bring it last week.
What I know the winner of this week will get so far however is of course the rebate of entry fee, and half price of entry fee for next time, and owner’s special prize. The Ultimate prize is you can brag about your victory over Ray for the years to come. :tup:
Byron, I doubt if MK3 will make its return, but I know as a matter of fact, that Tekken5 will be in the cove very early next year.
Jonhnson mentioned about a SUPER BISHI BASHI tournament, how many of you would like to participate in that? :wow: We’ll do it during the Saturday evening, so you are automatically enter with the usual $10 for the fighting games night. (Only if we really want to do it though).
Prizes for the mini-tournaments on Saturday’s
I have discussed the issue with the owner in the cove, and the conclusion to the prizes is confirmed:
There will be a total of 6 games(when alpha 3 makes its return).
Each week, we will do one mini tournament for one game.
- For the winner of each game that particular week, there will be a refund of the entry fee ($10).
- Next week’s entry fee will be half price ($5)
- A combo #1 from the cove - jumbo dog, medium slash, bag of chips
Now, here is the key part:
Every 6 weeks, when all 6 games’ tourneys are done, we will find out who has the best winning record overall (you will get points for whatever place you get), then the final winner gets the big prize:
(for this first 6 rounds) ONE COPY of Capcom fighting evolution for PS2 (release day: today).
We will start everything from this week’s mvc2, and we will re-do the Cvs2 mini tournament, so there won’t be any bitching whatsoever. :wow:
6 games?
- Alpha 3
- CvS2
- MvC2
- 3S
- GGXX
- Neowave
Right?
I would like the best of 3 games instead of 6. I don’t think anyone can play all 6, or have the time to come there every saturday for 6 weeks.
Speaking of which, plans came up. I can’t make it to this Sat.
Johnson: I couldn’t check out the price for you. Maybe not til Thursday or next week Monday. Is that okay? Also, 3 or 6 feet?
Capcom Fighting Evolution is soooooooooooooooooooo…
okay.
Picked it up today.
Hauzer kinda blows. He is definitely no Sentinel. Everyone’s saying that Jedah’s rushdown is unstoppable, except IMO Anakaris is better. He’s like Magneto. Better angles then Jedah, and Anakaris actually has air defense.
Oh well, it’s all about Kenji and Karin.
Seems like the game was put together at the last second. No effort whatsoever. Kinda sad considering this is Capcom’s last 2-d effort. Oh well. I’ll still play it.
Anyhow i’ll just go over some basics:
Ingrid is pretty much like a modified c-groove character. She’s got safe fall, air block, dash, roll, super jump, counter attack. Her super meter has 3 levels and she has 3 supers. Sunburst takes up 1 meter, Sunshine takes up 2 meters, Sun delta takes up 3.
Street fighter guys got nothing special. Just a super combo meter. no dash. no air block.
Darkstalkers have chain combos (think morrigan ala cvs2). 5-level super meter and powered up specials by pressing 2 buttons (like EX in sf3). Guard cancel. one-hit OTG attack. You knock the guy down, then jump on him when he’s down. air block.
Sf3 has parry. Universal overhead. And quick get-up. Also has EX moves.
Red earth guys can hold up to 2 stocks. They can break a stock to level up. This level up is permanent unlike N-groove. Every time you level up you get a little bit of life back and your power and stamina also increase. You can go up to level 6 and it carries on between rounds. Also some super moves are only accessable after you level up a certain amount. Also has ultimate guard, basically makes you immune to all attacks except throws for a small amount of time (think Super Armor). Also has a one-hit otg attack. air block.
Street fighter alpha has custom combos ala a-groove. Except if you miss, you lose your entire meter. alpha counter, roll-getup. air block.
Trung: Thank you very much for training 20+ Chun vs Remy with me… The killing was so bad… I don’t think I want to play Chun ever again… 
Other notes:
Sakura got nerfed. Chun Li got nerfed.
Bison can do super psycho crusher after landing jump strong, strong… except everyone’s got airblock/parry except for SF2 characters.
Guile lost sonic hurricane.
Hydron owns zangief.
Darkstalkers are mad fast.
Red Earth guys build meter slowly. Probably best to use a SF2 guy to charge and then change to Red Earth.
No Genei jin for Yun. Urien has Aegis Reflector except it’s definitely toned down.
i’m up for bishibashi. fuck, that game>3s+cvs2+ggxx+mvc2
boxing game > bishibashi > mvc2 > cvs2 > 3s > GGXX
BUT!!! classic space invaders > everything in the cove
Okay, I will mention to the owner regarding the Bishi Bashi tournament today. It should be okay.
Johnson,
Would you want to do it this week or next week during the Saturday?
How are we going to organize it?
Are we going to have 3 people play at the same time, then eliminate one person at a time, or two?
Just basically how is it supppose to work? If there is no specific rule regarding how it works, we will come up with it together to ensure it runs smoothly.
Hmm haven’t thought about how the tournament is going to work. Maybe have 3 people go at it whoever wins gets to go on. Hmm but that’s going to be hell with the brackets eh. How about just free play this week and then next week we can come up with something that works. That or we do 1vs1 bishi bashi tournament. Not sure, what do people think
we should throw in a console capcom fighting jam tourney in the dec 18 tourney
id play…
definatly not the best game to come out…but ima play it and i bet have fun with it…HORAY ZANGEIF IS BADASS!
BTW any calgary players live in S.W?
Zangief has huge Jab SPD range. Very Scary indeed.
I’m still sticking with Karin/Kenji at the moment. I don’t really like Darkstalkers characters even though they’re hella good.
So what mini tournament are we going to start with? i’m geussing mvc 2 ?
And is there any Dizzy GGX2 palyers in calgary that are good? gettin my butt whooped good, and no one to share ideas with :sad: and i’m thinking the player 1 controller of GGXX will need to be swaped out soon, ya gotta really bash on that stick for it to respond
i use dizzy…and get a few wins now and then…i dono if im any good
some ppl destroy me…some ppl i destroy… cant really use the button layout at cove too well. maybe someone else will tell u if im good or not 
as for CFJ first day i got it i really wasint too impressed…it was exactly what i expected and absolutly nothing more…second day i like it alil more and got into it a bit learning customs with guy and shit…now the third day i REALLY like the game its very fresh…so many weird ass matchups
tis quite fun
so far using alot of zangeif/kenji/guy/karin/alex/felicia
…i donno if ill be able to decied on a concrete team…but if i must at the moment would prolly be zangeif guy
hey am just curious.
are u guys still holding this tourny???
I brought my Jammies (thong) for the sleep over at tini i mean Ian’s place.
What time is this tourny taking place?
Whats it best of for the games?
Pot size?
and is anyone interested in going out to a club after the tourny?
I know etowners and the bc crew plan to go out.
Since when did u start using A groove ian??? I thought u were a C groove user. Interesting, sounds like your beasting it up in ctown. See yall in a month or so.
Should I bring a “Mas” stick to this tourny??? Or is it arcade?
Last question.
what version is the 3s in ctown?
Just for unblockable reasons.
exactly what version i do not know…but unblockables DO work
as for rest of questions…i donno…someone else does im sure
First of all, Saturday(Nov20th) is the mini tournament for mvc2.
Starts at latest 6:30… better let me know by tomorrow morning if you are going to be late. Every other fighting game is on Free play mode.
Then, Johnson… The owner said Bishi Bashi tournament is a “Yes”, and we can do it next week when everything is prepared during the Saturday. However, free play this week just doesn’t work according to the owner for Bishi Bashi. Let me clearify something… I am not working for the Cove, and I don’t get paid for anything done, and I do not want to push too far on some subjects if I know I can not get the approval. But I will do what I can do to set up the best things for my friends regarding the arcade events though. :tup:
Mahir,
1.Yes, we are still doing the tourney on the 18th of December.
2.Starts signing up at 11am, and tourney starts latest 12:30, but for those BC folks and Etown crew, just let me know what time you will be here, and we will have a spot reserve for you.
3. Games are just like all standard tourneys, 2 out of 3 and so on. We will use arcade for the tourney as well.
4. Expecting pot size, about 32 people.
5. Still in the process of looking for a place to settle down, so at the presence moment, I don’t have a place for you, yet… will keep you inform.
6. Of course, we can go out after the tourney. Where? we’ll decide later, Does it have to be a club??? 
7. I have been using A-groove after the last Edmonton tourney, but according to Ray, my sakura’s shosho is probably the worst among A-groove users. Bring your mas stick if I can house you, and I will show how to do perfect shosho, and bison’s cc with the dreamcast control pad’s analog stick. Perfect RC as well.
8. All unblockables can be done in the 3S machine in the arcade, can you do them though? :wow:
See you in December.
Ray,
I can foresee the finals of tomorrow’s mvc2 tourney: Ian vs Raymond with Ian ocv Ray more times than he has ever been ocv’ed in his life… HAHAHA 
By the way, Gambit Glitch is only allowed to be used by me in the finals only!!! My final’s team will be team Gambit/blackheart/psylocke LOL !!!
whatever man…
tomo’s final will be johnson vs me. with…
0 person watching.
i’m gonna drug everyone’s slurpee before the tourney…y’all gonna taste the foamiest slurpee ever.
hey moe:
it’s calgary urien here. if you absolutely have no where else to go, my basement can house one guy. bed, desk, tv and shit…it’s not the best place but it’s an option. and yeah, if u do stay with me, i’m expecting a lot of 3s…a lot…
