Brooklyn rage! I’ve typed a damn book TWICE just for my post to be deleted because of something stupid.
One… more… time…

As far as invitations go, and I speak only for myself, if u want a training dummy I recommend training mode. Because that is all I’m good for in tat game right now. As u know from other fighting games, playing someone less skilled tends to rust your abilities. I simply will not play someone in a game in which I don’t know the basics. All that will do to u is give u really bad habits, and trust me, not fadcing a flash kick is still a problem for me sometimes to this day. So, it wasnt ignored. When I own the game, I will be happy to come pal around and learn nuances.

That being said, like mvc3, I don’t intend to get any better than having the ability to give u guys a good look. Sf is my game of choice. But I learn and watch other stuff too, because i know it helps everyone involved. That is what Thursday are for me. I level up more after the fact, because whatever u guys use to beat me, I will learn it, and figure a way to defeat it during the week. You absolutely can fine tune during our night there.

Which brings me to what I’m trying to accomplish with our group. The obvious is to grow us up so we are constantly getting new faces and players in our stables. That is true to any serious group. However, my main concern is getting us exposure. I’ve been in talks with someone that will stream our monthly tourneys when they happen. The more exposed we become, the more people you’ll be able to play against because Idk if u know this, but… we are considered East coast, and there’s tons of players for all of our games within a state or two of us. I’m not saying we’ll get constant visits from these people, but when people think of Ohio, I want them to think of CFC.

Lastly ill close with a few things. Mainly, if u guys want to switch nights thats fine. Way back when were still at Perkins three of us talked in the parking lot trying to get all of this straightened out,when we made an announcement we’d be looking for people to step up and take over since Jeff was going to be a father soon. After agreeing on fox and hound we discussed what night would be best for everyone. We had I think three responses, and all but one of them said Thursday. So three months later when things started to come together. I picked Thursday. If there’s a better night let’s do it. Nothing is set in stone, but on busier nights I need a guaranteed number to show up. I don’t give a rats ass when we play, but fnh will not make life easy if they see this as a worthwhile thing, which right now, I don’t think it is for them. Help yourself by helping me get the word out. Let’s go put out some flyers, or something. This is not a one man job, and while i know some of u guys just want to play, if u take a moment. I need more people to step up than just me. Even if its something as easy as bringing power strips or better yet extension chords. If u guys have a camera we can use for matches of interest then tell me about it. Our fight nights are about camaraderie to me, and everything else is second. I see u guys like family and I just want to know that other people feel the same. I’m not just the guy that sets stuff up. So sorry if i came off in a way that might say otherwise. I really have good intentions and grand expectations for our group. It just takes a step back to see the large picture.

crappy online is fun though =( atleast when you get away with murder O_O!?

Thing is I’m not just referring to MK. Ive been inviting ppl over since I first moved here and Jeff was pretty much the only one that ever took the invitation.

Training dummies are great, and heck if you could actually record actions on them in MK, I’d be using it a lot. But even then, that’s not the way to get better. We need sessions other than Thursdays to concentrate on matchups or any other type of issue you may have with the game of choice. FnH is a great thing, but due to the amount of people, and the environment, any mass gathering like that will help to progress your skills but only to an extent. Do you think all of the top players leveled up from 1 day a week mass casuals? No, they have smaller focused grind sessions all the time.

Every single thing you’re doing with the FnH casuals is awesome, and again, I’m behind it 100%. I just think if our town wants to be known in this scene it’s gonna take us becoming better players, and not just having a good venue to gather at. But again, if it’s just that no one actually wants to put in the effort to become better, then there’s nothing wrong with that. And for the record, I will play whatever the community plays. Just bc I’m on an MK kick, doesn’t mean that I’m averse to playing other games. SF is still my favorite game too, and I love most 2D fighters that come out, and am down learning them on any level y’all want to take them to.

And yes, Honkey…MURDER I TELL YOU! :stuck_out_tongue:

Canton is a small town, man. You don’t really see news any fighting game group in Lima, WI or anything like that. If we want this to work we need to advertise a little bit to scrape up every fighting game player that exists around here, and then make them feel welcome.

The reason you don’t see a notable group in other small towns is b/c they don’t have a player base. We, on the other hand, have a player base and a weekly venue to meet at. That’s a lot more than a lot of other towns have. I completely agree with scraping up as many players as we can though.

The most ironic part of my whole argument here, is that I myself don’t even have the time to play during school semesters. But during the breaks, I’m trying to be on the grind as much as I can.

any games going on this weekend? maybe Saturday night!?

Tekken anyone?!?!?!

Id be down for mk if you want. I have no idea how to play tekken :frowning:

I’ll try and make it to a casual night next time you guys have one, Thursdays are usually pretty bad for me any more since I work them.

Umm had to take care of some fam stuff last Saturday let’s plan something for this weekend?

Dave Tekken is easy to learn if you’re interested in learning I can show you the basics.

I will be out of town from 5/25 - 6/5 visiting my parents in SC. I’ll catch y’all for some games when I return! Take it easy!

Hey Canton, Ghaleon and I are throwing another Summer Slam tourney this June, come check us out:

After last week, I hope to see more than a few of you back this week. Let’s play some games! \m/

im down for going to summer slam btw. Sf4 is gonna be on ae so that might be weird, but i wanna go regardless

Alright broskies. I am definitely going to summer slam. Anyone interested in car pooling let me know. Great sessions last night in SF. There were only three core players but I learned a lot. Makoto is looking really good to me right now, and will probably pick her up as yet another secondary in AE. Oh, and since the majority of our group every week is smash players, I did want to say we are officially adding them to any major tourneys we may run using the Unity ruleset. Oh and release day of AE (june 7 in case you somehow aren’t counting down the days like I am), Kyle said he may run a little get together that night. Lastly, I know more than a few Clevelanders will be coming down the week of Summer Slam to level up before the event, so please make sure you guys come out and help show a united front that night. Pay attention because I might be issuing them a challenge soon. :wink:

lets do it big d. Im down for kyles on the 7th. I’m gonna grind the shit outta ae. You guys can thank me for the smash players :slight_smile: (although you probably hate them lolol)

I actually don’t mind the smash players, they play with us when we run anything but SF tourneys, (you’d think it was hard to pick up or something), so I say let them come and hang out with us! We are going to be running some fliers here soon. I’m gonna ask one of my buddies to make up a neat little poster for us. Anyone willing to help?

-edit- btw, I have MK now you whiny little brats! lol

Smashers are p-cool. I think I have some money matches with them next week, haha.

MK tonight anyone? my place call my cell if interested 330 418 8014
