Can’t make it this weekend. Have fun fellas!
So is the current game plan to meet up at Gamecenter in San Mateo on Friday night, then we’ll play Saturday by ear and either play at NCR casual stations, or at someone’s hotel?
Well Bernie said he doesn’t know if he can make it to Game center depending on his ride.
As for hotel room, mizuki isn’t firm.
Bernie said ok but he also mentioned he has to go to friend’s room so we can’t stay all night?
As for saturday, playing in the casual area is best otherwise whoever providing the room has to stay with us the whole time.
But then when we go eat we either have to pack everything or leave someone behind to look after the equipment.
Eltrouble, are you still trying to pack your supergun? What sticks does it support?
So, basically we have no idea what we’re doing on Friday night for sure.
As far as Saturday goes, I can stay with the casual stations and watch over the equipment. It wouldn’t be fair to ask players who brought their setup to have to stay with them all night long.
I’m trying to pack it, but it’s not looking good. It won’t fit in the pass-through from the back seats to the trunk, so whoever sits in the backseat has to hold it, and it’s pretty unreasonable to ask someone to do that for a 5-6 hour drive. I have two modified TE sticks that use DB-15 ports that work on the supergun. I’ve been told it’s the standard Neo-Geo cab wiring layout. Oh, and there’s no way I can fit my CRT in the car. So count me out for the supergun. The pleasure of my company will have to suffice.
Yeah holding it for 5-6 hours won’t be fun.
I have a two seater so I can only go fetch the CRT from storage unless I can borrow a car that day, also need someone to help me unload it since parking would be a problem on saturday.
If we can’t get supergun for casuals on saturday, who can bring a xbox with HDR? Last resort will be PS3 classic mode lol might as well play HDR for fun since difference between PS3 classic mode and arcade are night and day.
So we are pending on bernie and Mizuki’s response to decide what to do on friday.
Bernie & Mizuki, for the hotel room on friday, when will you know and how long can we stay if answer is yes?
As for game center, bernie you won’t know if you get your ride until friday?
el trouble, who will be going with you to game center and how many people can your ride fit? since both you & bernie & mizuki are in sunnyvale maybe you guys can car pool?
mizuki doesn’t have a car that’s why he can’t go to game center. also bernie is pending on his ride (though i’m not sure if he prefers to go with his friends)
I’m bringing myself, Millertime, and Muffinman to Game Center on Friday. So I can fit 2 more people in the back. I don’t mind carpooling at all. Just send me an address or directions where I can pick you guys up, and we’ll make it happen.
I can bring my Xbox w/ Asus monitor and my only stick that I have
and if mizuki needs a ride I can pick him up Friday and drop him off @ the hotel after game center ?
U guys let me know…
To recap my situation, I’m staying at Domain Thurs-Sun with one roommate. I’ll be there Thursday night. My friends that are staying at Wild Palms are the ones with the rental car, so I’m on their time as far as travel beyond the hotel is concerned. Everyone in my group will be at Domain for NCR for Friday, likely most of the day Saturday as well, since they entered a few games. As far as I know, we’re still planning on stopping over at Gamecenter Friday night but I’ll update when I know for sure. Other than that, we can play in my room all weekend pretty much until my roommate wants to kick people out, which shouldn’t be an issue. The guy can sleep through a lot of noise. As for what I’m bringing with me, I’ll have some CPS2 boards and hopefully a dual-mod PS3-360 stick if I can fit it.
OK let’s finalize the plan for friday first.
Mizuki, are you gonna game with us friday night? If yes and you don’t have a car, darkness is offering you a ride if you are coming from fremont, or if you are already at domain hotel, you can also take up el trouble’s offer.
Bernie, if you are ok to leave your group for friday night, el trouble is willing to pick you up from domain hotel. I’m assuming you are not entering any official games at NCR?
If yes, what games you enter and do you know when will your pool end?
El trouble, same question for millertime.

Millertime is not joining any of the official NCR games since we’re coming in late on Friday night. Her plan is to hang out on Friday night with the ST crew, and then play casuals at NCR on Saturday for SF4, SFxT, and ST.
I didn’t enter anything official. Gonna watch my friends in their KOF 13 pools but that’s about all that is keeping me in the tournament hall.
Thanks for figuring out all the people planning, Papasi. I know it’s not easy.
Once the destination is figured out, I just want to bring up that we’re going to want to eat together while we’re gaming.
For food places around the Domain hotel, please see Justin Sia’s post on the NCR FB event page

Bon Chon looks like a good place to eat Saturday night, that closes at 10:30. 2 miles away from the venue. Looks good, not super expensive.

I still suggest we session at the Domain/Wild Palms on Friday, but I would rather let our out of town guests decide if they want to make the extra drive over to San Mateo Game Center, especially if they’ll be arriving late night. We generally get to stay at Game Center until 1am.
I’ll be at the Domain all day starting at 10am.
Thrust are you going to be at Domain Hotel on saturday?
FYI Kineda just said that they will be requiring a $10 spectator pass to play casuals at the venue.
As of now, on friday we’ll have eltrouble, millertime, muffinman, bernie, me, georam, ultracombo, darkness, mizuki (? not confirmed), thrust (only at domain).
I don’t know if there will be enough space in the hotel room and most likely only one Xbox setup.
Bernie will ride with his friends on friday night and their tentative plan is to drop by game center after KOF pool is done.
Thrust, I assume you’ll stay at domain on friday regardless because you’ve got friends from other games like DOA right? Otherwise you could also go with eltrouble.
Still pending confirmation from mizuki.
I think gamecenter is the best option. I’ll give anyone a ride from domain to gamecenter if they’re willing to throw me a little cash for gas. I’m pretty broke right now lol. Gamecenter should be better cause there’s no possible issue with time and its cheap. We’re guaranteed to play all we want. Plus we can use the supergun for 2 setups.
Does anybody know about the internet situation at NCR? Is it possible to get a WiFi signal at the venue? If possible, I’d like to skype into the Arkadeum stream on a video conference and give them an update on what’s going on with the NorCal scene.
So I read that there’s a $10 spectator pass that you need to purchase for Sunday if you want to watch the grand finals. Is this $10 pass required just to get into the door on Friday and Saturday too? Papasi, where did you get that info from Kineda? The NorCal Regionals website doesn’t specify that anywhere.
ultracombo, you will be somewhere around sunnyvale the friday evening?
Let’s do it at game center on friday then. We can do hotel room session on saturday if bernie is ok with that.
It’s pretty all over the places the info. They have a website, a srk thread, and a facebook page!
ctrl-f and search for “kineda”
I think they should update all 3 locations for any official announcement or rule changes.
If I read it correctly, you don’t need to pay to spectate fri & sat. however sunday the grand final will be in a conference room upstair and you need to pay to get in.
I thought you guys are leaving for socal at noon sunday, the interesting games won’t start after noon.
Also fri & sat you’ll a competitor pass or the sunday spectator pass to use the casual stations.
I’ll be in Menlo Park or Redwood City, but Sunnyvale is not too far, only about 20-30 minutes. I just need gas fade cause like I said I’m a broke motherfucker lol. Also on that note I think Kevin should pay for my spectator pass or tourney entry. lol
Alright, we’ll see you guys at Game Center on Friday night then.
I’ll be hitting up the Domain on Saturday. I don’t think I’m staying at the Domain on Friday night. I may or may not be able to catch up with you guys in San Mateo… I kinda want to be able to do whatever I’m doing, and there may be alcohol involved. '=D
I’ll bring my xbox/asus setup around, but HDR will have an issue if it can’t connect to internet. I’ll probably be in contact with Kevin if I don’t see you guys in person.
Everyone, travel safely!
