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

Will there be a Friday tourney?

me, and stefane still play gg every so often, also there is the chicago heart tournament in august.

Did they fix the mk online? Is it playable now?

Is GGA going on tonight?

Yeah, GGA is tonight and I think they’re trying to make it like every weds.

I will be able to provide a PS3 and a stick for tonight @ GGA. I will need help with HDMI/VGA as well as games to go with the console. I won’t be able to provide it till closing since I have a business trip tomorrow to Miami and the flight is 5:30 in the morning.

also, for all you guys who love gameworks, today’s groupon is 20$ for an all day pass to Gameworks in Schaumburg - http://www.groupon.com/deals/gameworks-chicago?c=dnb&p=6

anyone up for playing games today? (not at GGA)

Yeah, going to be a good crowd it seems like. Talked to Doc some more, said he was going to make sure that we have Wednesday all the time from now on! So this will be a weekly event. We can eventually get a stream going as well, id like to nominate Brock and Okame as commentators! We will definitely need the equipment to get things going. They are definitely catering well to us so please be supportive!

They are having about 3 screens for use currently for us so please bring some if you could, I myself will be bringing 2-3 screens, id need someone to bring a VGA cable for 360 if you have a spare. Things are looking great, come out and support EVERYONE!!!

See you guys there!! Ill be showing up around 3:00PM to get things going, Id say if you want to get there early to do so, get some games in all day!

I’m going to try to make it to GGA tonight for the first time and I will be bringing my PS3 & games.

I am new to the SSF4 series and I have been coming onto Shoryuken.com alot to figure out how to play the game. After 2 weeks of learning about spacing, how to defend crossups, wake up attacks, FADC and so on I want to see how I fair against actual people instead of beating the computer. I am looking to test out my knowledge and skills against you the player. I also want any input to see what I am doing wrong or if there are any improvements that I need to work on. So if you are interested in playing me and also want to give me tips on how to use my character please respond to thread or hit me up on the Playstation Network. My psn name is My_Last_Fantasy and the character I am using is Gouken.

If you want to see how good you are show up in person to an event / gathering instead. Online play is not a good way to measure skill or progression. Read the First few post on this thread, they have some detailed info on them! Welcome to the Chicago thread as well, hopefully you actually come out instead of hiding behind that online play :).

i hope someone plays kof 13 with me tonight

Definitely count me in. If I get blown up too much in the gaming rooms, I’ll just go to KOF XIII and the floor. Definitely pumped for KOF XIII.

It’s only awkward if we let it be, Jerry…only if we let it be.

Put me down for a 360 and HDMI cable at GGA today. I’m excited to check this place out.

Damn, sucks I couldn’t make it to ignite. hope it was awesome. Not gunna be able to make to GGA tonight either. QQ

So I decided I’m going to host casuals at my house tomorrow! I wanted it to start at 6 till about maybe 1am? Or till whenever ppl have to leave. If you live in the Northside area/went to Ignite and is looking to level up, come by for some gaming. I met some of you guys at Ignite, you look like some pretty honest people that just want to meet new players and get better. Anyways, I’ve already got 3-4 ppl that might be interested in tomorrow as well so plz hit me a message or something if you’d be possibly interested.

SN: And if you happen to have snacks or anything that you can bring, that would be great. I got some soda and chips i think as well. And hookah if anyone does that lol.

dont take this the wrong way, as we have some young players, but are you old enough to drink beer?

Yeah i’m 21 haha
