I will try to be there

Is there a list of games we can choose from or is it anything?

If we can pick anything, put me down for CvS2. Also, I’ll try to be there for SSF4, GG and MBAA also.

And I could probably bring a ps2 with games and/or an evo monitor depending how I end up making the trip. I’ll post up once I have some concrete plans.

It can be absolutely ANY fighting game. We’ll have plenty of TVs but we just need consoles. Hopefully you can make it.

I’m in there for GG, SSFIV, and maybe the game of choice. (My vote went to UMK3.)

I counted your vote from Dustloop so you’re good.

I know it. Just letting everyone know that UMK3 is what’s up, and that I voted for it! Haha.

You should hurry up and start making them sticks for UMK3 so none of us have to suffer from using jap sticks for this game. Especially you stick users for UMK3. I’m perfectly fine on pad. :smiley:

I’m going to try and make it to this one, and I’ve gotta vote for CvS2.

Votes updated. We’re also in need of PS3 SSF4 setups! Any volunteers would be greatly appreciated! I have a spare copy of SSF4 for PS3 but don’t have the system itself. I can volunteer my copy of the game if someone is willing to volunteer a system.

I can probably bring my PS3. I’m still tentative on making it though.

You’re pending on a ride, right? You’re also from Boston, right? I think there’s another dude from Boston on Dustloop you might be able to talk to. Check out the New England thread over there and post up. I don’t know if it’s guaranteed or not though.

Being new to this site aside, I will do my best to attend this as I leave relatively in the area. And I, too, must vote cvs2.

Votes updated. Good shit man. If you got any friends who are interesting in showing up, let 'em know. Spread the word.

Ohh gonna definitely try to make it out to this one!

Oh shit! What’s good, man?

several of the NH players are planning on making it down to this. Couple potentially bring a setup or 2 as well. I’ll get back to you guys in the future about that.

Sweet! i should be able to attend, but I won’t be playing since I’m waaay out of play and don’t have nearly as much time as I used to to dedicate playing fighting games (as much as I enjoy them).

Good to see that these types of events/tourneys still happen locally since Digital Mayhem shut down.

Alright cool. Keep me posted.

Had to kinda keep it alive man. DM was mad cool but since shit closed down, we had to find another spot that could meet our needs. I encourage you to try and play but if you don’t, coming down is cool too.
