damn!!! we now cant have cover girl matches…i wish you could attend now there will prob be me playign mb by myself hahahh
I’ll be trying out MB at least.
Don’t sweat it. They’ll be more tourneys soon.* Also, depending on what time you come back up, we may still be playing casuals. (hopefully we can keep playing casuals till Castle Golf closes. Which could be as late as 10PM, possibly midnight.) Either way, drive by when you get back up.
*If things go according to my plan, the next 2D games tourney would be on the weekend of May 4th - 6th.
Just a heads-up: I want to give Lance the details for the tourney in written form. I may do that on Sunday. I’d also stick around to play some games for a little bit. So I’ll let you know if I’m doing that.
By the way, something I’ve been meaning to mention. My uncle owns a pizzeria.
Bino’s Pizzeria

So come check it out sometime, won’t you? :bgrin: Also, if you willing to be a delivery driver or even a cook, you can always try asking.
Another interesting idea.
Lance mention they used to do this thing where they’d set up a bunch of games, (just a session, basically) you’d pay $10, and then play them all you want all day.
How many would be interested in attending something like that?
yea, they got that going every friday night in NYC at web2zone. The thing is, unless its really good comp where you can learn a lot and improve, i dont think its worth it to pay 10$ to play, rather just play at someones dorm.
Also, 21st is a saturday right? o_O Oy, that wont work out for me ;-/ so i guess i wont be going to the first tourney.
yeah web2zone pretty good stuff…but i think the prices are high because they have to pay castle golf as well
But $10 would be cheaper than paying quarters each time you play. I mean, you’d be lucky if $10 of quarters/tokens lasted you 30 minutes. But with this idea, you’d get to play all day for just $10. (yes, the Arcade machines would be included in the deal.) Well, regardless of the price… What day of the week do you think be best for something like that?
I knew Sunday would be better for the tourney than Saturday. Listen, don’t give up on me yet. If I tell Lance how many people are dropping out because of the day change, I can get it back to Sunday.
The reason it was changed is because this is the same area that is used for birthday parties. There was already a party planned for that Sunday around noon. Maybe I can have the tourney on Sunday at 4pm. How would that work out for everyone?
Either way, I hope to have all the next ones on Sundays. I’ll have to convince Lance to stop accepting parties for Sundays. As long as the tourney makes more money for Castle Golf than the parties, we’re good.
I’d be interested in $10 all day gameplay. And if it were Sunday I’d go to this thing. Obviously don’t base this whole tourn on me. I’m just putting in my opinion on this.
-a.
I wanted the tourneys on Sunday from the beginning because I know that’s the day most people are free. I would like to start this thing happening regularly on Sundays as early as possible. urth has been very helpful in this process and I really want him to come to the first tourney too.
Now, the $10 all-day sessions would not be on Sundays because that day is already for the tourney*. I am thinking either Wednesdays or Fridays. (again, vote away!)
*Of course, the games will stay open after the tourney for sessions for the rest of the day.
By the way, I will look into possibly dropping the fee for the session day to as low as $5 if that will bring in a bunch more people and result in more money gained for Castle Golf. (5 people for 5$ each > 2 people for $10 each) I can’t guarentee anything because… well… Castle Golf is kinda poor and doesn’t do as well as it deserves. It’s extremely important that these first tourneys and sessions kick off to a very good start.
Oh hey bglaugher, does your PS3 have DR on it?
yea HK version but if u want it for the sessions i dont think i can come consistent
That’s ok. I just wanted to know for the tourney cause that gives me more flexibility as far as who’s PS3 should be used for VF5 and who’s for DR.
By the way, if you wanna bring your PS3 to the April 21st tourney, we can probably try to get some VF5 and DR causuals in later in the day.
Well, I’m free for tomorrow (Sunday). So I will most likely go to Castle Golf to hand off the details and play some games for a little bit, if Lance is there. I’ll let you all know what time later.
oh yea btw i dont have to adapter for ps2 controllers and stuff @_@
yeah if its saturday i cant go either…i realy hope you can get it fo sunday
Yeah, I’ll definitely get it changed to Sunday. The worse we’ll have to worry about is how late the tourney will start. It definitely won’t be as early as 1pm or even 2pm. Maybe 4pm if we’re lucky. How late would be too late for everyone?
bglaugher, that’s cool. As long as you have 2 PS3 controllers and the wires for them. Wired > Wireless for fighting games.
Well damn. I don’t think Castle Golf will be open today because it’s raining. Well, if it’s not, then I’ll just go tomorrow. (don’t worry, I’ll make sure Lance keeps the arcade open if it rains on tourney day)
Well, the only days I’ll be working this week are Tuesday and Friday. (both days for my other job) So if anyone wants to hang out for some casuals in any games on my free days, let’s do something.*
*It should be noted I don’t have a car. >> I’m willing to walk so far though. (seriously, I’ve walked to Sports Plus before. Here’s the distance. [nearly 4 miles] ) But I can bring only so much stuff if I walk. >>
I keep forgetting to mention: I have Pelican’s Real Arcade Universal stick. Not great, but a stick that works on PS2, Xbox, and GC for only $50 is good. However, many of the buttons have problems now. I haven’t even used it much. Well anyways, if any hardware junkies want to take a look at it, please do. I’ll bring it to the tourney.
Those arent bad actually. i have the ps2 one and i bought happs arcade parts and put those in. works like a charm. If you get the happs parts i can replace the shitty parts in it with the happs parts.
Hm, ok. Sounds pretty good. I’ll look at what the total cost will be. See, I’m actually thinking about getting some Hori 3 sticks when I get my PS3, so I really wouldn’t need the Pelican one anymore since there’s not much to play on Xbox and GC anyway.
Also, I want to look into this VSHG stick everyone is talking about…
EDIT: Ah, nevermind… While it looks really really good for VF5, the fact it has only 6 buttons [in the main area for buttons] urks me. I won’t be able to comfortably use it for Soul Calibur and SNK fighters.
EDIT 2: Oh wow. The Happ solution is insanely cheap. Only $2 per button… Which one is the highest-quality? So far, it seems the Horizontal Microswitch is. Hmm… I wonder if I should get a new joystick too? Lots to choose from. I’d probably go with the Competition one.
Sunday works better for me too.
Good Job Cla, and getting things going and making somehting happen for the local scene!
nice im glad its chaned to sunday now!!! whatever time you get it for its good for me… the happ comp buttons and stick arent that bad!!! i personally like sanwa
so wats exact time and date if its not to much trouble?
Well, nothing is official yet because I haven’t gotten to talk to Lance. But there’s no reason I should not be able to get the day changed.
As far as the time… Well, I think Lance said there’s a party at 2pm on Sunday… so we’re looking at as early as 4pm and as late as 6pm. I guess I will just say this: People should start coming in after 4 and then I’ll start the tourneys sometime between 5 and 6 once it seems like we have everyone who plans to enter the tourneys. We’ll just set up stuff as soon as the party clears and enjoy casuals till then.
The tournament is officially on Sunday! I won’t know what time exactly till tomorrow. But basically sometime after that party on Sunday ends.
And, I finished up the details. This is what I’m giving to Lance:
