My only question is when did Freds become “Central” Virginia? :lol:

3

What would you classify us as?
Northern? I always say “central” because we’re smask-dab between DC and Richmond. :slight_smile:

I’m really looking for some more attendance… If you’re interested or have any questions, please post here!

4

Yes, Northern.
Not, Central.

Damn, I always heard that “Virginia stops at Roanoke” but this is the first time I’ve heard of Virginia stopping at I-95. I peeked in here because I saw Central VA and thought “Hey, Lynchburg isn’t far form Blacksburg, maybe I can go to some of these some time.” But hell, my girlfriend and I like to go to Fred for the weekend just to get away from people. So if these are still going on in a few months, maybe I’ll try to go to one.

5

Haha, thanks. I guess I’ll put Northern Virginia in the title now. :confused:

6

What exactly is a Marvel vs Capcom 2 “Custom” arcade cab?

7

Haha well basically it’s a cab with the actual game, unmodified.
However, the owner of the cab (not related to GamePad) put pieces of several cabs together… It works great, though.

Just letting everyone know that we’ve been having between 10 and 20 players every week show up, all with decent skill… So if you’re looking for a challenge, it’s still here!

8

Sorry for double-posting… But I want to put some results up from this week’s tournament…
I kind of get the feeling that no one knows how many people are coming or something, and that’s why there’s no posts/interest. This week we had 16 entrants, and 3 regulars were unable to make the tournament. At this rate, we’ll have 20-30 players every week in no time!

9

You should have posted up in some of the Area threads.

We had an 8 man tourney yesterday here in Richmond. And 14 a couple of weeks ago.

Maybe we’ll come up there one time and test our mettle.

10

Actually I posted a link in the Richmond players’ thread a week or 2 ago… Lol
I think it was in the middle of a discussion, it seemed like it was breezed over.
This week we had about 15 players, and we ran singles AND doubles… A combined tourney would put us at like 25-30 players… Not bad!
The venue’s a great size for a big tourney!

one day, i will make it to one of these. are you guys going to throw in tekken seis?

14

I’ll stop by to play some SF4 and Tekken. :smile:

15

Hey, if people want to play Tekken we can set up a side tournament for that as well.
Will probably run that after the SF4 tournament is finished, usually around 7:30.

Yea, the past 2 weeks were really slow… But I’m pretty sure it was because of exams and whatnot.

16

Not one of the biggest tourneys last week but stuff happens. Hopefully this week’s will get a bigger crowd.

17

Yea, you’re right, it was pretty small.
Some of the regulars will be back at the end of the month.
Still, lots of fun this week!

*EDIT: Small Tourney turn-out, but we’re holding these indefinitely.
Singles (11/13)

  1. MattyP (Sagat)
  2. Anthony (Sagat)
  3. Blue (Ryu)

18

You might be forgetting someone coughcough

19

i’ll make one of these eventually :\

20

Haha That seems to be the consensus I get from all of the non-locals. It’s all good.

I’m thinking about holding a BIG tournament right after New Year’s, I’ll have to schedule it around other local tournaments.

I just need committed players!
