NC Thread LVI - Sessions / Tournaments in the First Post

The Raleigh/Durham/Cary area is the triangle. I’m in the Triad. I guess I’ll call it the “Ziad” or something since I’m holding it down.

Also I’d play for Orange Juice too.

see what I did there?.. And yes I’m joking about the second part…

I like it Kevin, although The House of Cheese was a RDU and more specifically a Durham “group” lol I’ll never forget that Fayetteville tourney where it looked like the entire arcade was throwing up gang signs when Wayne was fighting Moose in CvS2 Grand Finals. That was some crazy stuff.

Hmm we do need to come up with a name for our team / maybe the gathering spot here in cary. If I were a magneto player I’d call it the House of Squeeze.

Apparently Dean is doing marvel 3and mk9 tournaments at 4pm every sunday at Cape Fear Games in Wilmington, 10 dollar entry fee, no multiplier on the final pot. However, more the dudes the higher the pot. We are starting this coming Sunday with MvC3. The Sunday after that we will do Mk9. I’m expecting it to flipflop between these two.
We have some really good players here in Wilmington for MvC3.

The organizer is Dean Ortman. His Facebook page is: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100001604590496

We are only using the two in-store HD tv’s. We do not know how big of a turnout we will have. We can expand based upon turnout. If it gets big we can start adding more tv’s and more games.

Rules: Behave. The staff also wants to keep the foul language to none since there are kids there that play card games. More than likely it will be double elimination. Winner take all. Control configuration/button check allowed. Character switching allowed. I suggest using your best team since all the guys I’ve seen that play here are really rushdown oriented and leaving a hole could leave you dead if they hit you.

Team Fayetteville = Me, Tom, Kevin, OJ, Jose

That list is TBD since we have a lot of players all on the same level. Also me and Tom have to win OJ from team Triangle. Yeah this Friday will be fun and will generate a lot of hype for the tournament on the 21st.

Team Triangle is Currently Me, Jon, Blake, OJ and Garret if he’s still coming and wants to be a part (haven’t spoken to him yet).

This list is definate since Jon and I will be winning OJ on Friday from Team Fayetteville.

:slight_smile:

What, no Old Man Doom?

Hm. Well if there are 6 of us that want to play I guess we’ll have to internally play for it, and top 5 is the team.

(Assuming we win OJ)

I don’t play Marvel, what? If you’re referring to what I said on Facebook, that was just for last night. Actually I think it would be in your best interest to have me on that team Jon lol, at least if Blake and Garrett aren’t going.

I do often pick Arcana over it, but that’s mostly because the scene for that is so much smaller and I have to get games when I can. If not, who are the 5 that round out Greenville? I feel like I belong to that group as much as anywhere.

It was like fighting Dark Phoenix with a bunch of health right? Seriously though I feel like I’m the only akuma that does that. That move is forward+B if anyone was wondering…:rofl:

dude all this shit sounds awesome. i can’t wait til i come back from NY to play some of you guys at the EZ tourney

If I’m not on Team Triangle so be it. I’ll be at the tourney and if I earn a spot then I earn a spot. If not I’ll play with whoever is left. I definitely don’t want any hand outs.

This right here, i can get into. i can assure you ill be out for every MK tourney i dont really mess with marvel like dat

And what exactly is Arcana heart? i saw it on youtube and im guessing it a girl char only game?

It also looked like if melty and blazblue had a baby thats the game that would come out? that being said it looks like something id like i might jus get it(Blows dust off ps3) hopefully wen i come i can get few games to see how its is

Naw its only right we all play for a spot on the team, no one is in charge of making teams here. I think we all want our area to win so top 5 should be top 5 best players in our area, regardless if we ourselves are among the top 5.

:wonder: I would help out team Fayetteville in the 5 on 5 but to hell with playing on a 360 pad. Besides, :bluu: I’ll probably be at work that day anyways… dood.

Thats all I’m saying, I’d much rather earn my spot. BTW, if anyone is interested I am having people over tonight for MvC3 so if anybody wants to drop by just send me a PM.

lol @ tags “Marvel makes scrubs good” and then “yay I’m good for once”

thats EXACTLY how I feel. all these areas I play with but nobody ever considers me when the time comes :crybaby: we should just make a another team…oldies but goodies lol.

MK9/Tekken/MvC3 is happening RIGHT NOW at my place.

gimme a ride. (>’ ‘)> mag <(’ '<)

oh I concede any spot I may or may not have to Eric Peterson lol

but yeah, this is why regional tournaments are often silly or just a bad idea, a somewhat recent example on a larger scale would be that SF4 one at Evo…two years ago? You can earn a spot, but not everyone will have the equal opportunity to earn the same thing. I think it might just be better if you got a bunch of 5-man teams together, not necessarily restricted by location, but possibly including those types of teams if they so wish to team together to prove something.
