Hey guys. Registration is open for Fighter X Shooter in Chicago on Sept 2-4. We are featuring top 8 payouts with bonus money in SSF4AE, MvC3, and MK9. We also have tournaments for 3rd Strike Online Edition, arcade ST, and arcade Vampire Savior. Friday Sept 2nd is all special events, so if you can only make it Sat/Sun, you won’t miss any of the tournament itself. We’ll also have a metric ton of giveaways (sticks, headsets, etc) that anyone can win! Please spread the word, get your travel group together, and rep your area at this regional event. [Sep 2, 2011] Focus Fire and Keits Present - Fighter X Shooter - $2k in Bonus... (Northbrook, IL)
Hey guys, A.R.K. IV is coming up September 17th-18th in Jacksonville, AR! We are expecting ~200 people with games such as SSF4:AE, SF 3S:OE, Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Mortal Kombat 9, Melee, Brawl, BB:CS II, and more! Competitors are coming in from several states to compete!
Note that our tournament is working on securing sponsorships from well known companies which will each be providing additional prizes and bonus pots for our tournaments. The Traveling Circus has expressed interest as of this time. Also, well-known regional modder DaRabidDuckie will be on hand to provide dual mods (PS3 <-> 360) for fight sticks.
If you have ANY questions, please post on the official tournament thread here: [Sep 17, 2011] ARK IV - ~200 people, Feat. Marn, JWong, + More! AE/MvC3/+More! (Jacksonville, AR)
I’d normally respond to replies on this thread, but I’m so busy with Med School that I don’t have time. Please try to make it and show your support not only for us, but for the Regional SRK community as a whole. Thanks guys!
ooomg I am never playing H Miyako again. F Miyaki’s air super loli elbow knocks down and 6C is actually good for something? Why play anything else?
roooofl 3S online is horrible on my K-Mart Internet connection. Some dude was doing hadoukens and the lag was so bad it looked like he was kara throwing them. Guess I don’t get to play this one online.
Hey, Extrumentals, I had my first meeting with the other officers of the Competitive Gaming Team. Still no details, but everybody’s cool with a stand-alone fighting game tournament not bogged down with Call of Duty and Starcraft 2, so that’s a step up from last year. We’re considering holding a Melee tournament at the same time, but I’m not sure if we will. If we get a school-sponsored venue, hopefully I can talk them into charging a venue fee as low as 2 to 5 dollars or so.
Right now, I mostly have to decide when I want it to be. I don’t even have an idea for a month, let alone a day of the week (probably saturday).
Final Round 15 Qualifier #3 announced! Win badges, byes, and possibly airfare to FR15! Plus $$$
Kansas City - 12/17/2011
Do you think they’ll agree to it?
Alright, November 5 seems like the likely date for a tournament. No major details yet, but I’ll keep you posted.
Still think you’ll contribute about 5 people to the body count? I’d like a decent turnout so people here won’t keep thinking fighting games are a joke. I feel like I’m not getting much respect from the Starcraft and Halo groupies in the Competitive Gaming Club. Ah well.
Oh, and the venue fee won’t be more than 5 dollars. Might even be free, I dunno. I need some way to encourage setups to be brought.
You should make a new thread and link it to me and I’m pretty sure I can get 3-5 or more people to come along. What all is included when you say a set up? Like a t.v, system and game? Also, if you wanted to, you could YouTube advertise to for attention.
Hey just a heads up, I no longer live in the Jeff City / Columbia area but I’ll be by that way from time to time. I’m headed up that way this Friday if anyone wants to meet up for some matches. Unfortunately I don’t have a pad or venue we could play at. It will probably be around early evening. Hit me up on here if you guys are interested. I’m crazy rusty but ready for some GGs.
Is Nov.5 still a go?
We’re having trouble securing the venue for that day, so I don’t want to lock anything in and force commitments, but hopefully it’s still a go.
Game City would be a good spot.
Yeah, I’ve got to delay it until I can get the spot for it.
Also, the idea was to get a free, easy venue on campus with university funding, so we just need to find a time we can reserve a spot.
Hey CoMo! this is Baztastic, a member of the St. Louis Bar Warz stream team. we’ve been bringing the hypeness every wednesday from our HQ for well over a half a year now to let the world know that the midwest knows how to get the fuck down in some Fighting Games! what we’re trying to do now is get more info about us out there in the hopes that we all can help put the Midwest FGC on the map.
so, watch WNF, watch Big Two, but at some point tomorrow, please feel free to give us a look. we’d love to have you stream monster!

thanks for your time and hope to see you in the chat!
Hey, I moved back to Jefferson city so if anyone would like to meet up for some matches sometime send me a message and we can try and work something out.
Right now evenings are kinda bad for me, but I have some time available in the mornings and afternoons.
You can also add me on XBL: Saikyo Seth
Really hope there is still a scene in this area.

The final set of pool assignments will be available on May 23rd. See you guys in just under two weeks, and please travel safely to Chicago.
yo columbia. my roommate and i are trying to get some people playing marvel in this town. i know youre here, so let me know if yall wanna play. my gamertag is danger dino. id also like to try to get some sort of weekly thing goin like stl has, obviously not on the same night since bar warz is the shit. whatcha guys think? i mean, we’re right in the middle of the state, no reason we cant get stl and kc players here too.
Unfortunately, myself and a friend of mine are back in STL for a few months while school is out. We’ll be going back to Columbia eventually, though, and I’ll be glad to play whatever when that happens.
Hey jd1no I’ll try to add you on XBL. Try adding me if I forget. “Saikyo Seth” on XBL. I currently don’t own Marvel but still play it sometimes so if we can get something up i’ll come out to have my v.joe team bodied.
As far as XBL online stuff goes I have sfxt, skullgirls, and ssf4AE, SF3, kof 2002, and marvel 2 (which I’m horrible at) online. Don’t know if any of these games are your thing. Crazy rusty at everything but sfxt at the moment but it comes back pretty quick.
Good to know there’s others in the area into fighters.
