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

Joe Lee
Rosemont (Basically next to the Rosemont station)
Not necessarily new to fighting games, just new to the scene.

No available Online IDs as the lag causes me to rage (blessing in disguise, in hindsight).

Looking forward to playing with new players.

ill probably be at gameworks again tomorrow…need that ae practiceeee

What’s up guys. My name’s Billy. Some of you have met me already, but I haven’t been to a gathering for a while. I was at that Nickel City tournament a while back, but I missed UFGT7 because of work. I play sf4 (Adon, Balrog) and mvc3 (Wolverine, Doom, Akuma). I’m on the north side of Chicago in Rogers Park with no car right now. I’m gonna try to make it to some gatherings soon.
PSN ID- iWILL773

Thanks a ton. Once I get home tonight I’m gonna set up my ports and plaaaay. If anything, this’ll be a good way for me to practice up in 3S before Online edition.

KOF Players, which versions do you play? I know 98 and 02 tend to be considered the best versions, wondering if there’s anything else I should look for.

Hey guys, about the forthcoming Domingo BBQ.

Trained chef (me) should be in the house, as long as the sky doesn’t look like a 5 day old mule-kick bruise, and there’s not the fucking biblical noahs ark rainstorm going on again.

Any of you guys on the culinary/foodie tip, though?
If so, would there be any interest in having some S-Tier grilling going on?
Boxed burgers and dogs are fine by me, but if we have preparation time. Let’s use it.

I’d like to be doing something like Asian/Vietnamese style pork loin with soy, ginger, garlic glaze, with sugar butter lime carrots or something, and tacos, definitely tacos.
Lime/tequilla/cumin marinade aracherra. Corn fried tortillas. Chile de arbol/agave pico de gallo.
(possibly even a return of that mango salsa from last year, with chips)
You get the idea.
Can probably also pull some sick kabobs out and pass em out to everyone if we have adequate supplies.

Anyone up for pooling resources on that sort of thing, or anything else for that matter?
I’m all ears to that, and you could be all mouth, eating.
But I don’t want to bust this out if people aren’t going to care what’s to eat as long as it’s there for them to eat.
Follow what I’m saying?

Hit me by Thursday night or Friday morning if you want to do something like that.

Or don’t…
See if I care. :wink:

Anyone on the forum with questions about AREAXIII please email me some time today so I can put the answers in my write up later tonight.

Thanks and I look forward to meeting you all soon.

got google chrome so i can finally view this board without my browser freezing on me again.
introductions, eh? im down

name: mike banks
location: far south side (106th street)…but im sorta living with my girl in whiting indiana…which is still only like 2 minutes from south side of chicago anyway
PSN: SoufSideHair
transportation: a car thats been making some really funny noises ever since that drive to northbrook this weekend
games: SSF4 (blanka, vega, and dee jay for now…but i really want to learn dhalsim or elf if anybody is down to help me out)
AH3 (angelia and dorothy)
MVC3 (arthur, magneto, modok is my new team but i used to use task, akuma, dormammu)
MK9 (sektor and reptile…but mind you i only play this game casually when burning at my guys house. only learned a handful of combos by accident haha wouldnt mind learning more though, the games not as ass as i was expecting)

Ive updated the info as well Joe for AreaXIII, put a little more info that might help ease the emails. So if you had a question you might want to recheck the OP(original post).

Gonna need about 2.5-3 hrs of grill time for the pork, Domingo. That gas grill might be the joint for it.
If there’s not enough propane for it, be sure to let a motherfucker know in advance.

I’ll sound off tomorrow if we get a rough head count on who’s up for good eats.
Probably will need to ask someone to pick up some various fresh produce for it all, little shit like that.
Or see if each person can bring an ingredient or two.
Shit like tomatoes, limes, onions, etc. Nothing major.

Would -really- like to hit gw at least once before console AE drops, but car status for tomorrow is questionable so far.
Blindly asking the forum, and no one in particular for a ride in the hopes of someone volunteering themselves for it, is about as useful as banging an aids patient to cure a case of the herp, too. So, fuck all of that.

I’ve been wanting to get into KOF but so many fighters released this year (MVC3, MK9, AE) I haven’t had time =(

Galloping Ghost has KOFXIII now though and I reallllly want to go play it sometime soon. If anyone is heading out there sometime let me know, and if they want to show me a few of the finer points that’d be great too, lol

I’m down with this. Hit me up so we can discuss this!!! :tup:

I’m bringing back that guacamole. The one you tried at your thanksgiving party! Gonna be good with them tacos!!!

The propane tank was just changed about a month ago and we have used the gas grill I think twice only. Should be enough but ill look and see if we have a back up tank.

Also I have a TON of little peppers that we grow here in the garden and are delicious. Too bad the tomatoes havent grown all the way yet or we could have used those too. There are plenty of produce places around the area so if you want you can wait till you get out here and we can go together. If you want to preprep / marinate the meat you should get out here a little earlier. Id say if you want to help prep everything around 2:00 PM or earlier would be ideal. Just hit me up, my number is posted in the OP.

domingo will bring the tortillas

I love my tortillas :frowning:

Ohh man Arturo bring that guacamole again, shit was fire!
