NC LXI: Sweet Home Carolina

It’s because they lied out their ass with tons of promises and bullshit so he’s trying to take care of that because obviously it being a 400 dollar cost for venue and he booked the next many months he should be getting the service he was promised.

Why is it that every other area in NC but Raleigh has a blazblue scene now? This is garbage.

Gotta work till 7 pm tomorrow. Retail bites me in the ass again. If it wasn’t for that I’d like to make it out to your session tomorrow Josiah.

SESSION CONFIRMED AT MY PLACE TOMORROW!

Time: 2pm
Location: Cary, NC (PM or text me for address if you need it)
Setups: 2 (2 confirmed, if you are able to bring a setup/system/monitor please do so and let me know!)

Games:* I’d LOVE a huge focus on BBCS2 as that is what I am mainly playing right now, if we can get some BB players that’d be awsome!*

Third Strike, Marvel, AE (ewww), MK9 (i have it if anyone wants to play but prob wont be a focus), T6 (Same deal as MK9)

***Eric (doom) we will def be playing past 7pm it’d be great if you stopped by after work. This goes for anyone else that’d like to come later on as well.

Lets work to change this? I am really into it right now, Jon and 7th seemed to be having fun with it the other night when we played, I got a guy from DL forums thats dying to jump in with us, Blake has mentioned multiple times he wants more BB in his life, and I know there are at least a good handful of BB players around the area that I don’t know by name.

Fuck it, I’ll pick it back up. Gimme a few weeks and we’ll have a 2 man BB scene lol.

I’m definitely gonna try to make it out to this. How are the rates at the hotel it’s at?

I already know what the problem was, I was trying to be as vague as possible because I wasn’t sure if Brian had already put that information out there or wanted it out there.

I haven’t even touched CS2 yet…might as well not bother with it since Extend will be coming out. So I may just wait for that.

Hey man, I’m all for supporting the BBCS2 scene. When I say over the top I meant the visual effects and over all style of the game, not the actual gameplay per say. I’m a looooooong time GG player so its no surprise just interesting and I believe it to be note worthy.Don’t mistake what im saying as discouraging people from “The Scene”. On the contrary I ENcourage people to play as I have in Fayetteville. BBCS2 is played weekly at my Salt-T Thursday gatherings. I know what its like when you are trying to build interest in a certain game in your area, but please relax I’m on your side.

I’m chill…

On another note, I miss you guys.

anyone off 10/11? I am off for 2 days so I guess I can go for some tourney…

Id actually argue that for a long time a key problem in BB was that the moves weren’t over the top enough. I mean look at the utility of ky’s stunedges compared to jin’s fireballs.It’s harder to really pressure/mix people up in BB, and the system has lots of specific things in it that you have to be aware of. It’s not really apparent for instance that the best way to oki someone is often 2a, or that the best anti air for many characters can be something like 5a or even a low move. People are used to playing games that allow for more techniques to cross over, having to learn a system this complex from the groundup isn’t something we have to do lately with games like AE. I guarantee that if you look back hard enough, GG seemed this broken to you at one point too.

God dammit. I thought you were smarter than that.

Yea, You could be right. I actually love these kinds of games more so than turtle heavy games like SF4. I’m looking forward to relearning BBCS2 or Extend when it comes out. I think the idea behind the crappy projectiles is that they wanna encourage offense more. Either way its tons of fun to play. I won’t say its broken ,just that there is a lot to learn and to get used too. After years and years of GG experience, I guess I became used to the craziness in that game.lol

The game will never change so drastically that you can’t benefit by learning it now. It comes out in Arcades during the winter, meaning we’ll probably get it by like July. If you’re interested in BB, sooner is better than later. Waiting around on it just means that when it finally does come out, you’ll probably just get bodied by people with another year of experience and think of an excuse to play Super or something instead. In my own personal experience, knowing CS1 jin just made the transition to CS2 jin that much quicker because I could more fully appreciate what was changed and how to work around it or with it as the case might have been.

Possibly so, but some of Ky’s most interesting and dangerous mixup can come from skillful application of frc’d fireballs and such. Basic point being how much more useful/dangerous GG moves are on all ends. Guaranteed there isn’t a Ragna out there that’d say no to Sol’s gunflame or command grab when they’re running at someone trying to convince them they need to be afraid of Gauntlet Hades or whatever.

I still main Ragna, have since CT. Just when I moved here seems not too many people in Fayetteville at least were into the game.So after I bought CS, it kinda just sat here next to my PS3.lol I played a few online matches, I also like Makoto a lot and Tsubaki too. Over all I’d like to get back into it,as I see it as a game worth the time and effort at the moment. Lookin foward to Extend and that Persona FG too.:smiley:

Sounds good, do any of the other BB players in NC want to make a point of going to elite zone or somewhere else this friday? I’ll keep my schedule open this coming weekend if so.

I’m in for this.

This friday is no good for me but if I have 2 weeks in advance to take off or figure out what the BB scene is doing there i’ll show up. It was consistently discouraging that every time I was going to tournaments for the games it would just get canceled but if you all wanna start playing again then i’ll support the scene for it again as long as it doesn’t hit 10 dollars for less than 16 man tournaments.

Sweet. I’ll make sure I’m there friday. We can make this work I think if people are just informed ahead of time. It’s hard for people to get interested in BB if they don’t ever feel like they’ll get a chance to play it, but we can work on this. All we have to do is decide it and do it.

Friend off dust loop forums is confirmed coming to the session tomorrow and bringing a friend that plays BB as well. Jon will be there as well so thats 5 BB players for tomorrow confirmed. More would be good !!
