Well to be honest, me and james are by far the best players in our circle save afew others that are decent. I just started attending two tournament ago, I won the last one. We pretty much three character our entire community and I wasn’t in the promo vid because we didn’t record at the events I attended, and plus we were putting more emphasis on fun and variety than our dominance over the scene. Presentation was more the aim anyway because we didn’t have much to work with as far as actual recordings go. Like I said, I’m willing to face any doubters as far as skill is concerned if that is your problem I appreciate the support from those of you that we positive. I will def check out these other people in Raleigh and hopefully we can join our communities. Like I said, the Champs Venue is INCREDIBLE and I really want that one to go somewhere. Anyway I’ll be checking here for tourneys and please let people know where we are here. It would be a great help. Thanks.
Hey guys, I’m new to this forum, and I’m a Greensboro local. I was into vanilla SF4 when it came out and I went over to Trykt’s once and went to Lucky’s a couple of times.
After Marvel 3 came out and with AE on the horizon, I’m getting back into fighting games, and I figured it would be cool to meet some other peeps from around the state.
I’d love to play some casuals and try to level up my admittedly low skill level. Most of the places where they’re hosted at are a bit of a hike but I haven’t been all that busy lately. Although there do seem to be a lot of Greensboro guys around.
@duo55
What system do you play on? If you have xbox lemme know your gamertag. I’m curious to know where you’re at.
My tag is “Duo Prime” be happy to play you.
I might make it out there, do you guys have sticks available because I’m definitely not gonna mess with Xbox controllers. PS3 person myself.
Yes, i’d bring my own just in case there is a ps3 set up. If its X-box 360 only then I know there are afew people who have sticks. I’m sure if you ask respectfully they would be happy to lend it to you.
Thats good to know. I’d hate to show up there and not be able to play at my best because of having to play on a controller.
Oh yeah, one more thing…Tv’s…what are you playing on. This is a VERY important question.
Whats the date for the biweeklies?
GGs corner trap. Sorry bout that first match. I get nervous against people I’ve never played before. It’s not like online means anything anyway I much prefer offline. As for the T.V.s… We use HD. Now I know that sucks but they are all set to the optimal setting and equipped with the proper cables for as little lag as possible. I much prefer lagless as well but we gotta make due for now. As for dates on the bi-weeklies I’ll let you know. We’re still getting a date nailed down. Also if we play at Champs, we can only do it on wednesday nights. We can take the saturday slot only if we have a big enough draw. When I get a date on the bi weeklies I post it here.
So that was my first time playing on XBL (I was borrowing David’s stick since he was over) and I have to say that XBL feels worse than PSN. There were moments when my character came on screen and just refused to block despite me clearly holding back and you going for no mix up. Your skill level seems similar to the players in your video, just a slight notch above. Some of your decisions were baffling like spamming j5S with Dante which isn’t exactly the safest game plan (in hindsight you could have been doing that knowing that punishing it would be hard online). Either way just come out to the sessions cause I didn’t know XBL was that bad since I never played on it before.
RE: TV’s
Yeah Duo you definitely need to have lagless setups are no one will come. It’s the same thing we had to do with Elite Zone when we started hosting sessions there, we had to bring in our own equipment to satisfy everyone and not use the venues equipment. We hate playing with lag online at our house, you think anyone would want to travel to play with lag offline?
It’s not that XBL is bad. It’s a combination of you hardly ever playing on XBL and the netcode for MvC3 not being so great. MvC3 is just one of those games that play wayyyy, wayyyyyyyyyy better offline.
so wait…is there going to be something this sat on the 30th? If so, I’ll probably go…if not, a few of you guys can come over here to State and play with us.
You were playing Marvel. That is not a fair comparison at all.
HD TVs aren’t all evil, just most. If it’s tolerable (like, my TV or better) then that’s fine. This seems more like a convenient meet-up/gathering than a tournament. I didn’t see mention of a venue fee?
I could come by on Saturday, but Wednesdays are out for me (church). Every other night of the week is fine though. It’s always neat finding out there are groups like you guys’ here and there, I was thinking there had to be something popping up around here.
Well if a date gets set for that Raleigh thing, I’ll come body you guys if it means I can win some scrill. I’ll play on whatever and I like good food. Probably bring Kevin.
Hey any other NC heads gonna come?
You guys should be going to state and level up cause that game play was pretty balls.
Seriously, I’ll come though.
Now, now corner trap, as I said before, it was online. I’m sure your alot better offline and I can vouch for that because you were making some smart reads and you had some decent ming games but just keep in mind I’m alot better offline too. You would do well not to under estimate me in tournament. As far as the T.V.s go, I’m all for people bringing their own T.V.s I would much rather play on a lagless tv because its what I play on at home. There is no door fee on either tournament as it stands right now because its awesome and were doing this for the community. Look forward to meeting you all soon.
He will rape you offline. I’d put money on it.
But set up something. I’ll come to tourneys where I can have beer and food. I already got some interest in Fayetteville players.
Seriously go to state too. Shit is serious over there. You’ll be like “Whoa shit”
Depending on how my final essay goes, I may stop by that tourney this weekend, will probably bring my monitor and PS3 if I do.
