Columbia, MO - GGXX, ST, 3S etc

I’m gonna be down today (Tuesday) at like 3-4 hopefully, I might be bringing Billy (XX noob/shmup vet) and I think Justin was planning on coming after work (somewhere between 4 and 5). Hopefully I’ll see some comp there besides our own superstar ass-kicking Axl?

Last time I checked Bridget vs. Axl was back to 5/5 at long last on that machine… I’m so happy ;_;

So does anyone want to see Dodgeball with me, I’m sure I’m going to hate it but Jon and Aaron have talked me into giving it a try. LMK.

just clearing up: free fighting game play at gunthers is next wed the 14th and the tourney is the 17th, right?

btw, has anyone been to Brady of late? i was wondrin if they got anything new…ie i’m too lazy to walk there myself

out

Nothing new at Brady as of… like two days ago. I think some games were missing, but nothing new was there.

Yes, this is true.
all u can play wed. night at 10pm till 2 am (or later?)
tourney is sat. normal time 2pm.

thanks to everyone for coming on Sat. sorry I didn’t hang out afterwards, China Chef did me in:wasted:

  4. David (disappeared before losers finals, was guaranteed 3rd but ???)
  5. Jon

  9. Matt

3S was kinda gay(aaron, u know what I mean), If more people took an interest in getting better blah blah blah…:depress: I’m gald peeps played though, maybe i should run a training seminar for peeps who want to get better/start playing?

Heheheh, yeah, I know what you mean. People entering because it’s a dollar, and you owning me with shenannigans in the finals with a character I thought about playing? God, I had hemma inside tears about that, but it’s all good - I suck at 3s anyway, hahaha. I’m looking into getting the japanese version now actually, so hopefully I’ll have a near-perfect arcade port to practice on pretty soon. Then I’ll get into it.

GGXX was good. Jon and Andrew get the most improved awards I think, but everyone has gotten better overall anyway. Like I said before, after attending MWC, I think (and so should all of you) that Columbia has a pretty good scene for the game. Andrew, extended props for having us all over, it was a great time. I still didn’t borrow any SNES games from you! Argh!

Highlights:

  1. Me acting like a fucked up alien thing and hissing at people at 4am, that’s the tightest.

  2. Andrew owning Pop’n’Music hardcore style.

  3. Starfox, wow that game is so good. Why is the first one so much darker than the later ones? SNES Starfox is one the best games on the SNES, so I pump that shit up! Falco: Berbip bo berwo.

  4. Seth and I acting like complete jackasses and jacking each other hemma while playing Mario Kart.

I go for Koopa Troopa, Seth says “Way to go for the top tier already”, and I’m like “Really? I’ve always used him”, then we go 50/50 with him using DK Jr. and me using Koopa…so, on account of handicap and stage selection, I gotta say Seth is my master at Mario Kart. but I had to rep that shit in Megaman at his house once, mwaha!

  1. Shoruken into the clouds.

  2. Oo-aww! Oo-aww! Oo-aww!

I feel violated

I will go cry and masturbate for a month and come back next month for revenge!!!1

Fun games indeed. I just wanted to say that it was hemma cool getting to hang out at Andrew’s house after the tourney, and that it was cool seeing everyone again.

John: Good shit with Baiken. Way to improve. And yes, I like the sound of Korean Potemkin Buster. :smiley:

Paul: Nice stuff with Johnny. You, too, improved and it was cool seeing that.

Andrew: It was cool staying at your place and it was cool getting to play you again. Your Bridget’s improved and it was cool getting input to some of my weaknesses.

Josh: It was cool playing your Axl again, and I’ll try to see if I can come up to the next monthly. No promises since there’s a bit of a snag on asking for days off in August. I’ll definately keep you up to date.

David: Nice meeting you, good games in 3S.

Now for STL…

Aaron: Yep, now I know what to work on. I’ll definately try to find a mix-up that’ll break fuzzy guard that doesn’t involve just lows and throws. Anyway, good stuff taking first.

Derek: You love Korean hat, don’t you? Anyway, how about those retarded billboard signs?

Seth: Fun games in 3S and ST.

Anyway, I just wanted to ask Seth, Paul and Josh what your AIM names are and if it’s cool with you guys to hit you up there. Anyway, my handle’s in my profile so go ahead and hit me up.

Later.

Yeah, if you guys ever want to do that again you’re always welcome at my house. I’m sure the hour-and-a-half drive back at 6 AM isn’t pretty though :stuck_out_tongue:

I can’t get the strutting music – or the strut – out of my head. Thanks a lot, Aaron. See you at Evo.

Anyway, good games to all you nerds, and nice meeting you Seth. I wish Bridget could just set the yo-yo out of blockstun, and maybe call it back too. Then I wouldn’t have to think to win. Fuck. Oh well.

Matt – See profile.

Andrew – Wahahah, see you at Evo, maybe. Wanna play…some VF??? Hehehehe.

Josh – I’m interested in playing Ibuki in 3s, but I hate digging through the forums on SRK. I may have some dirt with her next time if I can get ahold of the PS2 version.

My highlights: Going to McDonalds on the way back and actually LIKING the McGriddle. McDonalds is the damn shittiest.

Almost soiling myself after hearing about Akuma’s ending in SvC chaos.

Yeah…that’s about it. Next time Soundwave is gonna power up Lazerbeak with his blue ring special. And I promise that I will have at least 8 hours of sleep the next time I go to Columbia. You’re a cool bunch of guys.

a bit late, but here goes:

Good games all…i was playing a bit rattled at first in the tourney, btu i started to pick it up toward the end.

Thanks to aaron for showing me #r johnny; i still can’t do all the shit you do, but more than anything i’m starting to only work on exe…that’s where my real problem has been

I hope you guys have a good time at EVO…win one for the gipper

All hands on deck, this is 722 and I need mad home-version practice before Evo. I’m going to STL some time Wednesday and I won’t be back in town until the Tuesday after that. If anyone can find it in their heart to play me, let me know as soon as possible. Ideally I’d like to play every day from now to then.

-Frog
What kind of sticks do you use in your cabinets? Happ Ultimates? I can’t remember…

-722
I’d play you in some GGXX, but I really don’t want to play anything but #R anytime soon…

I think Josh doesn’t have Internet access right now, so I’ll try to answer this one. Most of the cabinets have Happ Ultimates with hard springs, including Guilty Gear. Super Turbo and SF3:Third Strike are on Perfect 360s.

And thanks for the kindasorta offer, I actually meant local people as I don’t know if I’ll even be in STL long enough to get games in before I go to Evo. (But hey, if I get the chance and anyone in STL wants to play me, I’ll be there bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.) I definitely know how you feel about XX. Ideally I’d like to quit playing the game entirely for #R after Evolution, it’s not a bad game but I think it’s obsolete.

What’s up Columbia. We’ll be doing a CvS2 and GGXX tournament on Sunday, August 22nd at 2pm. The entry fee is $ 10 per game. Double elimination. 1st place gets 60% of the entry fees. Here’s the address:

Troy MO, 63379
Phone: (636) 462-3113
or call my cell: (636) 578-7772 — Jeff
Email: sh1n_ne0@hotmail.com (uses a #one and #zero)

You can private message me on shoryuken, e-mail the above address, or call me before hand to register. Everyone that enters the tournament can have free play before, during, and after the tournament until 10pm that night. We have 18 networked PCs, 4 xboxes, 2 PS2, and 1 dreamcast. Or just hang out after the tourney and watch a movie on the big screen or something. Be here by 1pm to get some casual games before the tourney starts at 2pm.
Good luck and peace out,

Well I just found out I’m like working for Jon the weekend of the tournaments, so I don’t know if I’m still down.

By the way…

IN

YOUR

FACE

someone remind me when the next columbia tourney is?

The day before the Troy tourney, so… August 21st.

By the way, I’m working Sunday night and probably can’t go to Troy (can’t know if I’ll be back in time for work) but if any STL players want to come to this monthly, stay the night in Columbia and go to Troy I might be able to house a couple of you. Get in touch.

Edit: Also, I kinda want to go to the next Nebraska monthly. I couldn’t find out when it is in their thread and I’m going to bed soon so I’m not gonna go looking any harder, but are any of the rest of you nerds down?

i might come down. i will not enter the tourney though. i quit XX. i hear you have #R, andrew so afterwards, we can play some at your place.

ahhhhh must play more #R…that game is the best
