Kitchener/Waterloo Thread 2011

Dude on the front page of srk I was quickly scrolling and saw a character sprite of him and that is exactly who I thought was, thought they made a mistake lol.

hmm , well i guess we will see in the future, I defiantly wont drop mk9 to a casual level. I’m more encouraged to master it at a basic to advanced level since other guys at the shop are willing to learn it a little. I guess i will play it as a side game and see how I pan out.
Thanks guys for the advice, always appreciated

On another topic , as few know, i am originally a keyboard player and the Xim3 (keyboard adapter for the xbox ) can now be shipped to Canada
and similar accessory for the ps3 is also available now. So i plan on going back to my roots for mk9 since I am way way more comfortable with keyboard for mk games (thank god for no circular motions for moves)

The only thing i want to make sure is that is it allowed in most major tournies in Canada and America?. I personally don’t see a problem since the hitbox controller is out and is being used in tournies and i remember at a past ECT tournament for umk3 there was another keyboard player.

I plan on ordering both accessories on monday. I just want to be safe and get some assurance since i know alot of you guys have been in the scene alot longer then I have.

Thanks

I’ll be playing 3S when it comes out for sure, though I’m sure I won’t be very good at it. I have it for Dreamcast right now, but I can only play with a DC controller, which won’t get me very far. As for SFxT, I’m still undecided on it. I’ll definitely try it, but I’m betting I won’t end up liking it all that much.

Casuals are a go for Sunday but prob wont be on for too long (think 10ish) as gary still isnt feeling the best. If you want to get there a little earlier and help us move the stuff back upstairs it would be appreciated.

See everyone then

Yeah man they are allowed as far as I know, i’ve seen them at Evo and stuff. Just make sure it plugs in, no wireless stuff is allow.

Adrian your stick is done. Only problem is that with bat tops, you need a modification of the stick in order to screw a ball top onto it (the battop screw size is much larger than the normal balltop screw size). Not sure how this is done, I think there is a piece you can buy. Otherwise just get used to playing with the bat-top. I’ll bring it tomorrow to the shop and just leave it there if you don’t show.

I think I have that it’s like a seperate screw thread thing. I thought that was just for the bat-top to fit though, not vice versa. Either way I have my own bat top I can put on there that goes with the colour scheme.
Thanks a lot Roberto. Money / Beer / Food / Megabuster. Which would you like in exchange for your services ? (You also no longer owe Teddy Bauza 5 dollah)

So he is trying to put a ball top on an American stick? or am I just reading this incorrectly?

FTFY :tup:

As for the rest of what I caught up on here:

3SO = a yes for play for me. The pickup of execution and parrying needs to be ground into me.
SFxT = a yes for me as well. I have a feeling that it will play like Darkstalkers at maybe a more input leinent style. As for Poison, I am waiting for the “bulge in hot pants” mod if there is a PC release. Then I won’t be able to stop laughing.
Freddy in MK9 = :tdown: Does nothing for me and feels like Kratos as just a dump in for advertising.

casuals today??

Yep, casuals are on at usual time for 6:00pm

I will probably be shutting down at 10 again tonite due to me still not feeling 100%.
Hope to see you guys there.

Oh, and FYI everyone, we are back upstairs in the main room.

**EVO FANTASY BRACKET CHALLENGE

**Ok everyone, although the stream and everything is going to be extremely entertaining, we thought it would add a bit more fun if we did a bit of a fantasy bracket competition as well. Here is how it is going to work:

2 dollar entry for each game (only mvc3 and sf4)
Select the people you believe will make top 16 and be sure to state the people you believe will make top 3 (this is only in case of a tiebreaker and will not matter unless such a situation occurs).

Pot will be split 80 for first and 20 for 2nd.
Post below with your list.
Note: Posting means you are COMMITTED to this pool and must pay, no weaseling out if ur not lookin so good come sunday.

Picks must be in by noon on friday.

Issue. How do we know who is going to play who and which pools they are in? Someone could literally screw themselves based on the fact that all the people they think are top 16 material are going to be playing each other before the top 16, defaulting a good majority of their picks. What is wrong with just waiting for the top 32 bracket to be posted…you think it is a timing issue (basically just flying through everything Friday night leaving only top 8 for Sunday?)

Scott’s way creates more variety in people’s picks and limits tiebreakers.

Spend 5 min and go look at the brackets posted online.

don’t know where the brackets are, just found some spreadsheet.
