Never online, but never know.

Quick results from tonight. It’s late and I’ll post more tomorrow, including final ranbat standings.

Next week’s secondary tournament is 3rd Strike. Week after is either Tekken 6 or SSF4 AE. I’ll gauge interest in Arcana Heart 3 to see if we’ll try that or not as well. November 22nd will be the first week of our new 8-week ranbat with UMVC3 and two rotating secondary games. Choices for the two games are:
SSF4 AE
3rd Strike
Arcana Heart 3
Tekken 6
(Insert CURRENT game here if you want, such as BlazBlue, MK, or HDR.)
Also, unless turnout is 6 or less, all tournaments will be double-elimination. It was pretty late tonight when we finished. Kinda wanna cut down on that.
Thanks, Mike.
Bill is like "Blake’s not here, can the rest of you control it?!"
Yes Three ESSS
I almost did. Went 3-2 in finals and I died with X-Factor still available…went to activate and super at the end with Ryu and instead got something else that involved dying. Dunno if it woulda worked, though.
Hope everyone’s feeling okay today. I woke up feeling pretty sick and had to call in. Hoping I didn’t get it or give it to someone else last night at the tourney. Drink yer fluids, etc. </mother hen>
I’d be interested in Arcana Hate 3, but I’m gonna be pretty busy this senior year to invest anytime in practicing anything.
Fun ranbat season everyone! Congrats to Mike with his killer low tier team, lol! Thanks for the prizes as well, Mike - you put a lot into keeping us playing together, props fo sho. Looking forward to the UMvC3 season to start…
MVC3 final standings
1st - M.C. (90)
2nd - Bill (72)
3rd - Blake (68)
4th - Olli (59)
5th - Alex (32)
6th - Adam (27)
7th - Jackie (21)
8th - Corey (8)
9th - Stocks (6)
10th - James (5)
11th - Gary (2)
12th - Jacob, Chevy, Clark (1)
If Bill or Blake showed up for every tournament (Bill missed the first 4, Blake missed 5 total), either of them probably would have taken it. That said, I used Captain America for 6 tournaments, Thor for 10, Haggar for 2 and Ryu for all of them. So suck it, bitches. 
Grand Cup final standings
1st - M.C. (120)
2nd - Olli (55)
3rd - Bill (42)
4th - Blake (40)
5th - Jackie (34)
6th - Alex (30)
7th - Adam (14)
8th - Corey (13)
9th - James (12)
10th - Stocks (10)
11th - Joel (8)
12th - Gary (3)
13th - Chevy (1)
This was fun. That’s really what this cup came down to. I’d like to revisit this format someday, because in all honesty it reminded me of the days of walking around the arcade and playing whatever had some sort of versus mode, willing that someone else was there. Reminded me that games were meant to be fun. Not necessarily ultra-serious high-level tournament competitive. Just competitive enough for some trash talk.
Like I said in my post last night, the next ranbat will be 8 weeks long and will begin on the 22nd of November. UMVC3 as our first tournament ($3 entry), and two alternating secondary games ($1 entry). Same point system (12/8/5/3/2/1). Winner of UMVC3’s ranbat will get a $25 GC, winners of the other two games each get $15 as I’ll be keeping the rankings for each of the two secondary games separate. Ties will be decided on the last week with a first-to-5 between the two winners (if there is a tie, of course).
And, just letting you know, once this ranbat is over we’ll do roughly the same thing again, but unless the game is completely busted we’re definitely doing Soul Calibur 5 as a secondary game.
I think that’s everything. See everyone Tuesday.
Heads Up! F-4: Five Flags Fighting Frenzy is right around the corner! How long before it kicks off? 2 weeks!
Any of Central Iowa hitting James’ tournament up in a couple weeks? As with all Dubuque tournaments, I’ll probably end up running as much as possible, so don’t worry about that…I’ll make sure everyone has a good time.
Also, time willing, Mystery Tournament. And I’ll have leftover goodies from the ranbats to hand out for extra prizes.
So please show up. 
Oh dear god yes.:sad:
Only wish is that I had that weekend off but that’s not going to happen 
I’ve maintained the same stance since late summer: I’m on tourney hiatus until actual relevant versions of the games being played at tournaments are out. Once ultimate drops I’ll be back to showing up, assuming it doesn’t suck fuck.
Edit - Or when a guilty gear tournament happens with more than a 1 dollar entry fee 
Head up guys, for anyone interested in going to my tournament on the 12th, venue wants to get a quick head count of who’s coming. In order to do that, you’ll need to fill out this registration form here and send it out by e-mail to events@fiveflagscenter.com. That way they’ll have a good estimation of how long the event will last.

Two more tourneys until our next 8-week ranbat. Again, we’ll be running UMVC3 each week, and two alternating games immediately after UMVC3. Choices are:
- SSF4AE
- Tekken 6
- 3rd Strike OE
- Arcana Heart 3
I’d like to run something that’s still being played competitively, so here are the choices. MK is out unless I get a GIGANTIC amount of demand, and the same goes for Blazblue. I’m tempted to remove 3S based on that criteria, too, and (by default) go with AE and T6. We’ll see in a couple weeks. Also, I only want to run things on the PS3. PS2 and DC are good for side tourneys or casuals, but I’m not running main tourneys on them anymore. So unless Aksys throws GGXXAC on the PSN Store, I won’t be running that during a weekly. Sorry.
Next week’s secondary tourney is Tekken 6, and we’ll practice SSF4AE during or afterward for anyone who wants some training for F4 in a little less than two weeks.
Major update on the tournament I’m running on the 12th, we just added MK9 as a last minute addition to the main event of games. Over a week away before we kick it off!
Just in case you guys wanted to drop on by. We raised the price for the games. NGamer placed 2nd yesterday in SF. Couldn’t tell you about Marvel.
Hey y’all; tossin it out that I’m on the lookout for Marvel in the Des Moines area. There any monthlies/weeklies or anything that still go on? I have a baller stick just sitting in my back seat barely touched :/.
One week to go before F-4 kicks off! So hype for this!
Something I should mention though. I’m going to be entering 3rd Strike and I want to do really well in this game. If I don’t get top 3, I’m going to be upset and I’m clearly going to take out my frustrations on someone. As such, if I don’t place, this is how I’m going to crash MvC3 finals. With music. Legit.
well the cedar rapids monthlies is in hiatus till january. So I hear and I don’t know if grog got those biweeklies in des monies up and going. I guess if you find anyone willing to travel to the major in Dubuque there won’t be much going (Dubuque do run weekly ranbats btw)
Wow, I like how SRK doesn’t send me notifications anymore of posts here. I just posted in the F-4 thread, but who all from CR is going to F-4? Trying to figure out my ride sitch. 
And, yes, the monthlies are on hiatus until after the holiday. I work in retail, so I’m pretty much taking it in the ass with OT from now until 2012. Luckily, SC5 should be VERY close to being out when the next monthly hits, with TTT2 quick on its heals. PUMPED
