NC Thread LXVIII

TTT2 at WNB next week? :slight_smile:

Then donā€™t drop it if you enjoy it. Its still a lot of fun to play.

And Tekken may not be for everyone, but its still enjoyable for a lot of people. NC is definitely gonna be a strong force in Tag2 within the FGC. You should come out to one of the Tekken sessions. If Tekken seems too ā€œadvancedā€ for you and you enjoy P4A I would recommend playing DOA. Its really fun and I guess you could argue ā€œeasierā€ to get into, but some of the basics like spacing and movement you can still transfer over to Tekken.

Plus at WNB there are people out there playing VF with casuals and now tournament, so you should definitely roll by and check it out. They even have P4A on the line up as well.

whatā€™s up NC fighters. Iā€™m looking for some local people to train with in P4A and SSIV:AE, maybe BBCSEX if people are up for it again. Iā€™m coming to WNB for the first time next week and Iā€™m looking forward to it. One question I have is whether I can bring my own setup for casuals?

I am huge into Marvel and moving to the area here on Monday, but I would be interested in trying out Tekken Tag 2 If anyone is interested in running me through the basics.

Yes, you came to Columbus GA and played ssbm with me. I was the Link main that also played Falcon & Spacies.
Yes, SRK I fugginā€™ admitted it, bite me!

Thanks for the response!

Alternate, where do you live now? In Raleigh? We should get together again and play some fighters.

Did you ever live in the tri-state area? PA specifically? I used to play melee and knew of a Mario player with that tag. Also Iā€™m thinking of officially having sessions every Friday in Greensboro for the most popular games like MVC, KOF, P4U etc. but I want more than just Greensboro to come. Iā€™m all about trying to get people to improve and I may get into Tekken if it really does blow up like it seems. Iā€™m gonna buy the game regardless since I like Tekken casually but if enough people are playing its going to force me to try and get better. Iā€™m trying to spark some interest and hopefully get the scenes together since Greensboro is basically in the middle of everything. Let me know what everyone thinks and I will try to get something together.

I hate this fucking forumā€¦and fighting gamesā€¦

Thatā€™s the plan. I mean, I still play Accent Core and Melty Blood when I have the chance, and Persona is a lot better off than either of those games.

Iā€™ve played Tekken games before, and the last game in the series I really liked was Tekken 2. TTT1 was passable, 3 was alright but didnā€™t hold my interest, 4 was awful based on the bit of it I played in an arcade, I never played 5, and 6 bores me. I hear TTT2 plays like Tekken 6 with tags, so Iā€™m not interested at the moment. Itā€™s nothing to do with the difficulty - Iā€™m pretty sure I couldnā€™t like GG or Jojoā€™s if I was scared off by execution requirements, nor could I like Melty if I was scared off by pressure.

If NC can represent in a game people care about, thatā€™ll be awesome. Iā€™m not trying to say Tekken is ā€œbadā€ from a competitive standpoint, itā€™s just not for me.

Given DoAā€™s historical precedent, especially with regards to 4, I have trouble believing it will be a good game in the end. Tecmo / Team Ninja have another chance to prove themselves with 5, but Iā€™m skeptical about the odds.

Itā€™s four hours away, even if I come and win Persona it wonā€™t pay for the gas to get there and back to Boone. If I were closer, I would definitely be there, but as-is there are weeklies in Tennessee closer than WNB. For now though, I mostly play with the local group up hereā€¦ and try to convince them to come to tournaments when I can.

P4 isnā€™t a bad game at all. It can be pretty fun. Iā€™m not completely dropping it. Just shifting focus when TTT2 comes out. As long as people play P4, Iā€™ll play it though. We just need more people out supporting it if itā€™s gonna hang around.

IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT!!!

We will be running KOFXIII and TTT2 but only if people will be attendingā€¦if not then we will stick to the big two (UMVC3 & AE2012) so if you would be so kind to let me know if you are thinking on coming that would be greatā€¦so like this post or reply to it to get a head count!!!

I fully intend to come and play KOF. Work would be the only thing holding me back.

I fully intend to come and play KoF and TTT2, the only thing holding me back would be getting child care lol

Iā€™ll be there in representation of KDP for both of these games.

Iā€™m the same guy. Leaving PA for NC on Monday and I am quite excited for it. My roommate will be Yeroc who still plays Smash and we will likely play some casually as well.

Man welcome to nc cape. Youā€™ll have to tell Corey I said hey, I havenā€™t seen that guy in a good while.

Ill be there for the KOF. :slight_smile:

Oh okay cool, I used to live in NJ and hear about you from Cactuar and my other crew members from the area. Seems like smashers everywhere play marvel lol

so Roski is back? can I learn some AE from you? or Jon, I just need some advise.

Oh Iā€™m still located in Georgia. But in a few months, Iā€™m looking to move into North Carolina. Trying to find a nice location + a healthy FG scene. Was trying to get an idea of the scene here before making any final decisions.

Is Raleigh in NC? Is it a nice place? And how have you been? I havenā€™t heard from you since the last time you were in GA.
