Free poo poo trash garbage tier team!

Nate, infinite jest spent all break kicking my ass. So many words… such small print… no real chapter timeline… I keep losing track of the yeah, whether it be the year of the whopper, the adult depend undergarment, the phone upgrade year… I’m enjoying the content, especially the sections about Hal, but this book is easily the hardest thing I’ve ever read.

In other news, my friend Ben gave me his old xbox hori, it just needs the buttons swapped out.

Thanks to no pita pit and my new schedule, I’ll be free tomorrow night until Sunday. So who wants to play some games before the semester gets busy.

Mike, nice meeting you bro, my name is Jake. Ive been sort of in control of the Pittsburgh fighting scene for the past 8 years, well, not in control but a big and consistent factor. What are your plans for a tournament, such as venue, player turn out, top players that you know and get to travel out, parking details, and general stuff for making it run smooth? Im willing to help, but I do agree with Shinlad that you should come out and get to know us first. We can brainstorm and whatnot in person. We can even explain why all those before you have failed. Especially Herb.

Hey Herb, how you doing? How does it feel to have a house with heat during these cold winter months?

RJ, Fei long is super easy to play, get ready for that mirror match.

I think you’ve just fallen off, I’m still booty. but if RJ is hosting you should come, you only live 3 minutes away

Id be more than happy to come out to a get together. I’ve just been made aware that you guys and I look forward to getting to know you guys and helping to build upon what you already have. Ill admit, I’ve never thrown a tournament before but I’ve taken on many other things in the past and have made them work and I’m hoping this will be no different. I’ve been a hardcore Street Fighter (and other figting games for that matter) for over 16 years. It would be a proud moment for me to make something like that happen. I understand some of you being skeptical, i would be too.

Jake, hey whats up man? Like I said a bit earlier, I do plan to come out and I look forward to meeting everyone. Speaking of Herb I been chating it up with him about getting something happening in the Pittsburgh scene. He seems like a cool guy.

I have some rough ideas for venues, ect. but I wanted to start talking to you all first to get a better idea of what you all would want and/or need to attend such a tournament.

As for national players I’d bring out, Most of the players that I know that are nationally known are West Coast players. I’m trying to connect with more East Coast players who would cost less to bring now who are more likely to make a trip to PGH

Yeah I may have to one of these days, but I am getting older and it seems with age comes alot of appointments and dates, please be here to support this. And oh Sherrone we need your help, and this person is moving on Christmas day… Yeah you read right CHRISTMAS DAY!! I am busy this friday as well, but hopefully I will get to just see you guys and play in person one more time before my life is consumed by itself?

bar battles is looking really good again, inthul is coming too.

Tight knit indeed. Never felt more like an outsider than when I went to AIP. Skeptical about tournaments as in when I brought it up months ago and you guys said no one would show up. Which brings me to another question. . . . are you guys going to play something besides SSF4 when MVC3 and the new Mortal Kombat are released?

Arcana 3 baby

the excitement was meant to be captured by an overuse of capital letters, but srk denied me. I’m all in on the stoic girl in school uniform with the sword. Can’t wait to start practicing her.

tj, there is an extra to despicable me featuring minions chasing a banana

it is quite epic, I suggest you check it out immediately

Nope, all our systems DVD tray’s broke with ssf4 locked inside. Tragic I know.

Idk what you wanted us to do for you at AIP, It was obvious what we play. The time we met you had no interest in playing what we had setup. Our rotation’s arn’t some sacred ground that doesn’t allow you to cut in. Here are some key phrases for you next time you show up “hey can I jump in next?” “who has next?” “Where does the line start?”

If you wanted a tourney with an expected entry amount of 10 people then by all means get it done. What’s stopping you? I’ve told you before if you are happy with a very low turnout tourney then please shell out the cash and do so and stop trolling us.

Tournament edit: ok so they’re doing flat screen HD tv’s for super f dat. i’m still up for casuals.

I’ll be playing MK and MVC3 as well as sf4. I’m also going to be learning 3rd strike and Melty Blood as soon as i find the time.

I’m still going to go to that tourney on the 8th, It’s been too long since I’ve been to one, hd’s suck but it will still be a decent judging ground for what I need to work on before bar battles. Anyone who still wants to go is welcome to join me.

Ninja edit: BTW I can host on Friday. If anyone needs a ride, get at me before 4:30 if possible since thats when I leave work.

Super Ninja Edit : Anyone who wants to play something old from the arcade, give me a list so I can get it running.
I currently have ST, 3rd Strike, 2 Darkstalkers games, and Alpha 3.

I wont be there Friday, but for the future I recommend magical drop 3

i’m told its an excellent game…

Alien VS Predator plz. Also what time you want us there? I want some alone time with Fei Long. I’ll bring scented candles.

Fixed!

And I am told some of you people live very close to me? I know butters lives on the same street as me, even tho he doesn’t know it.

6:30 is a good time since traffic usually slows me down. Of course, everyone is welcome and you can show up after 6:30 as well.

I’m on cobden street which is right off of josephine if your coming from south side, and off of Arlington if your coming from the mts.

dammit nate, i was counting on you as a ride to rj’s tomorrow…

so… new plan

jake, i meet you at your place tomorrow then we go to aaron’s.

sound good? fantastic.

RJ, While Mike Hagger does have a great combo I hope this video will show you why Alien Vs Predator is a much higher tier. [media=youtube]OYxodY3AT5M[/media]

I did play a little super the last time I was there and also found it interesting when someone booted up HD Remix on the 2nd set-up and virtually everyone stopped playing super with the exception of Jake and one other person for about 30 minutes. I already did shell out cash last time by giving away 2 TE’s and 1 HRAP EX-SE. You add those up and its close to $360.

We are a cool, chill crowd. Don’t feel intimidated, I know it sucks to be new, but everyone here is cool as hell, there isn’t one bad apple. Except Guiseppe. That kid is a total asshole.

Personally, I’m all over MVC3 and 3rd Strike. I will be devoting all my gaming time to learning Marvel and recapturing my old 3rd Strike skills. RJ if you need someone to teach you 3s, you have two great and very different players in me and Tj to show you the ropes.

If virtually everyone went to play HD remix then wtf are you griping about us only playing ssf4? I didn’t realize you giving away sticks was the same as running a tournament.

Guys, does anyone in the scene have the stuff we need for a 3rd Strike setup? Rj didn’t you mention you have a decent PC we could emulate it on? A ps2 would also work, though I prefer the real thing.
