Pick a friday or sunday in may not around a holiday and I can host one for no venue fee. 
I knew someone was going to make a comment about this, and of course it was you Petey :0
Basically we wouldnât have to worry about this at all if GatorGaming wasnât such a bust.
That UF club? That reminds me, how popular was it when SSF4 was featured there? I mean, as opposed to (IIRC) Black Ops?
It was rather popular. It was the biggest tournament (for all games) ever in the Gainesville area. The Super tournament got about 50 or 60 entrants. They promised more tournaments, but now all I see when I visit there site is Wii game demos and mini starcraft lans.
50-60 people, eh? That sounds like something you could tap into if you advertised interest in getting a venue/weekly random battle thing going around town.
I donât think (unless you pester) GatorGaming is going to redo a fighting game tournament given theyâre just a UF club.
Itâs a start. Maybe if you can get those 50-60 back you can get in front of them and ask if they want a venue or just do a monthly GatorGaming game. shrug
I thought SCIIâs tournament was the largest? If anything, UFâs SCII scene is the largest gaming scene.
Too bad we canât just set up a station at the Reitz and have people play. Just having people play would attract attention which would hopefully lead to word-of-mouth. Then again, I remember seeing a SSBB station set up by GatorGaming and there werenât really that many people playing. For those of you living in dorms, do they have open areas where you can set up your stuff? At the very least, you might be able to get people from your own dorms.
I think we need to generate interest before we worry about a venue. Having a place to point people to is good, but itâd probably be just as good to keep in contact with people who are interested in playing and get a venue if we have enough people who want to play. I just wish I knew how to find those peopleâŚ
Thatâs what I was saying before. Advertise on campus and around town with a gmail or whereever address to see if you get people interested. After that, build from there.
Hell, worse case scenario, you could probably rent a meeting room at one of the library branches and use their projector to run games. May have to include kids aged 7+, but itâd be a start.
No I donât want to play with little kids.
Besides if we do anything on UF that restricts us to only UF students.
lets play arcana hentai in turlington plaza. that will attract attention
Pffff I was the Gainesville scene for nearly a decade. Itâs some big shoes to fill, but someone needs to man up cuz you guys whine a lot haha. At least when I was holding them, this thread was all trolling and smacktalk. Now itâs like âi canât make itâ, âi have to go out of townâ, âI got schoolâ, etcâŚBORING. Too bad I had to move on to bigger and better thingsâŚerrrrâŚjust other stuff.
Iâd like to make a trip up there sometime soon for a gathering, but it probably wonât be any time until after school is over. Tiny chance Iâll be in town two weekends from now, but itâs looking really weak.
And Petey I was thinking the same thing when I read the post with kids and planting seeds. Two thumbs up!!
yeah! Van is going to cook for us again, I am there.
Anyway, from my experience, it is actually easy to get people to play fighting game. But it is very hard to get they to keep playing, because most people donât enjoy getting their asses kicked and also donât want learn to get better.
Doesnât have to be UF, just get the UF segment?
This is true, but Marvels barrier of entry for âfun, even if youâre getting kickedâ IMO is pretty low. Granted, Marvel 3 seems to want people to throw these long combos to where the game turns into âone hit and your done x3.â 
Maybe with Arcade Edition rumored to come to consoles you could set a date around that and garner some interest around Gainesville toward playing somewhere?
IMO Marvel is way more captivating than SF for attracting casuals⌠cooler looking supers, less boring footsies/fireball game, easier to input supers, and ârandomâ supers are actually viable.
Either way Iâm still gonna be playing Super. That game wonât die anytime soon because the AE update is EVENTUALLY gonna hit the consoles.
Anyways, the biggest problem we might have right now is advertising. Are we really printing 200+ posters and putting them everywhere from Lakeside to the Fine Arts building?
Ive gotten into the competitive scene by seeing a flyer outside of a blockbuster. They had this poster advertising for a tournament at a local lan center.
Aksys just announced that AH3 will be released on PSN on April 19! More sidebar titties for everyone!
Dude, I used to do that when I ran tournaments. I drove all over campus and plastered them on dorm doors, left them lying around in front of marston, stapled them everywhereâŚyou have no idea how annoying that was.
Didnât you have to weasel you way into the reitz to be able to host a tournament though? Also, how many people did you end up getting for tournaments?
is it $5 and does it have english voice acting?
