CHICAGO 2016-2017 Thread: Welcome New Players, check out the Facebook Group page as its more active!

Oh god I’m a new person.

Lincoln Square, Chicago, IL
PSN: goatgreg
Games: SSF4 (Zangief, C. Viper, Cody, Fuerte and I’m garbage with all of them) and MvC3 (garbage with all of them) but I am completely up for learning new games.

Can’t make it this Saturday but definitely want to make it out to Areana sometime. Is the next one a week from tonight (6/3) or two weeks from tonight?

Yeah we are still grillin’ as we are getting a tarp that will cover the BBQ area so it wont even effect us at all. So dont get your panties in a bunch unless you want to miss out on some food and games!!

Clayton thats fucking awesome bro I hope you get it cause BBQ and Games is a deadly combo!

Also I am going to be at GW tonight probably around 7.

Remember to bring something over for the bbq!!! Take your asses to Aldi if you need to but bring something!

And no 8 dudes showing up with just one pack of hot dogs either!!!

ah god damnit i was gonna bring hot dogs

Anyone going to be at GW extra early? Or anyone hosting? If not ill host again tonight if people want to come over! Text me or call me if you are interested!

Im going to hit up New China down the street then wait till around 7:00 to head to GW if no one wants to come over tonight. Or we can go to GW for a bit then head over to my place and game all night.

Double Elimination after the first round?

Yea… that would be fucking retarded.

only first place gets a prize anyway ($$$) plus they are free to enter

Not really free cause you pay $15 to enter the building. Should be prizes for top 3 and double all the way like normal tournaments are, but whatever works for them.

Okay, pukes.

Bombchivo mentioned this to me, asked me to pass it along to you.

We can get about 30lbs of arrachera for near 50 bucks, from a spot near fulton market. It’d be probably double the price from a mom and pop shop, or other retailer. That would feed around 10-20 heads, give or take their girth.

Need to know in advance who’d be willing to throw down on it, as per bombchivos birthday request.
Hit me at 773-551-2237 by 10am tomorrow, if you’ve any desire to participate on that noise.
If you’re bringing your own things and grub, all good. If not, fuck it.

Also, tonight? I’m available for games, pretty much anywhere.
Domingo was talking about GW possibly, I’m trying to hit up the southside crew too and see what’s up there.
Was thinking just to hit up Zugzug up north.
Apples, get at me, your phone’s being a dick.

If you want to give out prizes for 2nd and 3rd, I’m sure he won’t turn you down. The first tournament I won there I got 50 dollars, a t shirt, and a pass to go back to the arcade, the 2nd time was 25 and a free pass. I think that’s pretty generous considering the dude has to making at least a little money. It’s not like that many people go just to play the FGs there but they have about as good of a selection as you’re going to find in chicago… well… without going to the black hole anyway :slight_smile:

I always have a good time when I go there but then again I play a lot more games than just fighters. But even when I’m there, there’s always decent people to play, especially on the days that they run these tournaments… which has been about once a month.

$15 for free play is pretty good especially if you plan on making an evening out of it since they are open til 2 AM. Doc has gotten a lot of new machines in, including 2 MK9 machines, one I believe is a 4 player machine.

lets go to gw!

anyone driving out to the gathering tomorrow? I’ve been missing a lot of them due to work but finally got a schedule change so I’ll have Fri and Sat free.

I bought 100 dollars worth of craft brew for this party! As you know, craft brew tends to be pricey so the quantity of brews are limited to a first come, first serve basis. If you would like to bring alcohol instead of food, please do so. Let’s have a great time tomorrow!!!

Please bring set ups!

anyone need sanwa arcade parts let me know Ill be making an order.

I think i’m just gonna bring some beers tomorrow… i’ll let other ppl bring the food :slight_smile:

Where do you order from? I’m looking to order Seimitsu pushbuttons but can’t find a store online with what I’m looking for.

ill put 10 on that shit!

Fucking Webster, Man we haven’t hung out in a while bro!
Good stuff man. I’m sure there will be some mk.
