NC LXI: Sweet Home Carolina

Arika made more than Street Fighter EX! They also made the Tetris The Grand Master series of arcade games(that invisible tetris vid on youtube? TGM3), but only one console game which uses the same mechanics, and that’s “Tetris with Card Captor Sakura” for the PS1. Its VS mode may seem random with the high powered item effects, but there isn’t much that isn’t telegraphed or preventable. Also, garbage is directly determined by material cleared so you can aim gaps.

We also ran Tetris Splash for the 360 for a bit first but we were short a pad.

Haha, well, The Tetris Company has been using the trademark rights over the past decade to force companies to adhere to a single set of rules and mechanics called the Tetris Guideline, so games like Tetris DS, Tetris Splash(360), Tetris PS3, and Tetris Party(Wii) are pretty much different just in areas like autoshift timings and control response. Tetris Splash is pretty fast while Tetris Party is dog slow. The Guideline is also the reason why TGM Ace for the 360, Arika’s only other console Tetris title, doesn’t play entirely like a TGM game.

Yeah I’ve never gotten this. Isn’t relevant to what. Anime and videogames?

That’s kind of why I didn’t say anything specific to his post so I thought he just meant relevant to his interests. Although I will say Animazement has been growing out to be one of the bigger cons out there and gets some pretty good special guests so i’m not so sure it’s possible to say that NC doesn’t have a pretty huge anime scene although never being there I can only say that based off of other people. Gaming wise though we do have MLG Raleigh if you are into other stuff than fighters and even then it’s hard for me to justify living in a state specifically for a gaming scene.

well I don’t mean NC lol, I just mean my hometown. It’s somewhat far away from most of the stuff. The only things that are somewhat close (by close I mean an hour away at least) is Wilmington and Fayettville. I guess I was just so used to being in Raleigh for the past 5 or so years and having pretty close knit community of players.

Ah yeah I’d forgotten you weren’t at state anymore. In my head you were just sitting around Raleigh being bored and talking shit, I was hatin’, lol.

Uh…and why do you say that?
I told you to YOUR FACE to stop taking yourself so seriously, and I meant it.
I told you guys that there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what Tetris Attack is if you’re a competitive puzzle game player, just that it’s funny, like not knowing what Counter-Strike is if you’re a competitive FPS player.
I told you guys that I don’t care about MLG but that it’s fucked up the community in the past so it matters to me how they handle fighting games because it affects the COMMUNITY, and Sofa King seems to take personal offense about MLG for whatever stupid reason. It’s funny because Demo was RIGHT THERE the entire time and he’s been fucked over personally by MLG a lot more than I ever have, but I don’t see you trying to justify MLG to his face

You guys held up the entire tournament for like 5 minutes because I had to stand there and explain things to you guys who were asking questions about MLG when I was supposed to be running things while Brian was playing.
I stood there and answered every question you had and then you want to come on the forums and talk shit about me avoiding an argument about nonsense that literally NOBODY BUT YOU CARES ABOUT?
Whatever.

MLG–serious fucking business.

For some people, apparently.

MLG is dick for fighters. I don’t know about shooters… they seem to get pretty good treatment there.

No one here is a competitive puzzle game player. Just people that played puzzle games and got decent at them lol

REEEEEEESSSEEEEEEE… good tournament, thanks for running it Tactics. I’ll be sure to taunt Demarcus more if I fight him in finals, it’s apparently his secret weakness haha.

FACEBOOK SCRUBS WE IN THERE

All the streamed tournament footage is up on http://www.youtube.com/sctourney

Thanks man. Glad you had a good time. It was a surprisingly large turnout considering the date change and all.

Shout outs to Shiki, Knuckledust, Irish Bear, and Faulcun for helping out with the minors guys. That made it a lot more manageable for me than last time.

The stream made it run a little late but next time we will be running Top 3 stream first thing when they come up. We should be starting with AE next time since we have done MvC3 and BB already :wink:

Reminder, next tourney is on the 15th of October…

See you guys then.

Bomb stage in Catherine in vs is like sudden death mode I don’t think we got even 1/4 the way up that tower before someone IKed the other guy.

where did you get that awesome shirt you were wearing at the tourney

I made the shirt a while ago, but never really wore it because the cotton wasn’t heavy enough for me - Thanks :smiley:

After watching the matches I have to say I just realized, Demo is a godlike commentator! We gotta get this guy on every stream!

It’s tough to make commentary for 8 hours straight interesting but you guys did a pretty damn good job of it.
Good shit. Shout-out to Deadly Rave Neo’s long lost cousin Priest. I didn’t really believe you guys were related until yesterday. :eek:

Shiki on SRK forums:

Shiki after meeting face to face:

The above was just one example of how you say one thing on the forums and change it up once met face to face. The subject of the discussion was “why are you a dick on the forums so much.” A question which you dodged TWICE which ended up leading into the whole MLG and Tetris thing. At that point I realized you weren’t gonna stick to what you said on the forums and I decided to just bounce instead of trying to heighten the situation. And Brian was sitting at the desk with his laptop, not playing. You weren’t running the tournament, just waiting to find out who won the match. If you’re “not serious” and I’m the “only one who cares” then why did you even respond to what was said on the forums?

Oh how the the trolls that get busted make me laugh yet again, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Shiki is a troll, and I’ve kinda been with you on that, but I dont see how those two quotes contradict each other.

I would definitely come, but you should consider changing the date since that’s the same as the next ReSe (October 15th).

Me either. After reading these posts it looks more like you guys are trolling Shiki than anything! Just saying, WTF? You can say you talked to him at ReSe but none of us know if you aren’t the one lying just to be trolling. You guys should just drop this fucking drama, damn I feel like I am watching WB or something!

Agreed.

Demo killed the commentary ! That stream setup was great as well, very well done.

To be fair it feels like that alot in this thread.
