I posted this in the ‘old’ Chicago thread, but it got overlooked I’ll post again :).
Hello SRK.
This is my first post, and I’d like to say that I have specifically created this account in hopes of trying to find an offline fighting game scene in Chicago.
I’ve read this thread a few times, and I know ‘new’ people aren’t welcomed with open arms, especially since the MvC3 incident I read about, but I’d figure I’d try to introduce myself any way. I’d like to say, that I am interested in trying to play one of my favorite fighting games offline. That game is MK. I want get into it competitively and learn to play other players without latency, have fun and level up at the same time and possibly show up to bigger tournaments.
Not to sure where events and stuff take place in Chicago aside from Area 13 I believe, but I hope to get involved. Though, I hope it isn’t a crap neighborhood because I’ve had bad experience of getting stuff stolen, and confrontations from people being thugs.
I plan to one day show up and try to meet other players, play MK, and hopefully get into SSFIV:AE. I’m not that much into SF, grew up with MK, but am interested in expanding my options, SF seems interesting enough. I just have to find the attachment with the character(s), story, to become interested in the franchise, so I have an incentive to keep myself intrigued on who, what and why I’m playing this game. I’ll also give SF X Tekken a try, because no dobut in my mind, when that releases it’s going to be the next ‘hot’ thing, and is probably going to overshadow other FG games, MK/and SFAE probably. Not a big MvC3 player either.
I’ve posted the same message @ Test Your Might, and they directed me here as well.
For MK, I’m playing Reptile and hoping to expand my skill set with him and other characters as well, possibly SubZero and Kung Lao 1 or 2 others.
My knowledge of FG games and it’s mechanics are limited, even in MK as the last FG game I touched was on the SNES MKs, so I kind of struggle to learn advanced knowledge or ‘already’ known knowledge and terms that most people are already familiar with. So expect me to ask a lot of questions, even stupid noobish ones.
So this is I guess my formal introduction, I hope the people I meet are nice, not jerks or wannabe posers like most Chicago youth, and I hope to play MK and SF:AE learn a lot with some gamers alike.
I reside by the BrickYard Area in Chicago.
If anyone wants to play on XBL my GT is Karried.
Also a big thanks to Scromps for actually being the only one who responded to this post earlier.
Thanks
