North Carolina Thread LVII

cilantro is nasty. can anyone help me learn some Myst speedrunning tactics?

So is anyone else coming to EZ tonight? Right now it’s just me, Raf and Kevin. Tom and Angus aren’t showing up until like 10PM.

Hey guys. For the summer, I will be hosting on Tuesday nights instead of Mondays. The time will be unchanged.

What time do you play? And where’s the location since I haven’t been out to one of your sessions before?

Anyone trying to but a copy of Marvel…?

Question for the NC players here on SRK: How would you rank the top 5 amongst NC Players according to games MvC3, SSFIV, Tekken 6, and Arcana Heart 3.

I think that question should be asked after this weekend.

Pretty much gonna say this.

Don’t forget there’s a tournament this weekend at elite zone.

not gonna make it out. Its too late. Been drawing all night…feel sleepy. yaaaaawwwwn:, See yall on the weekend.

For anyone in the Greenville area, we’re gonna be playing at my place starting at around 6 and ending at around…well, when we stop. Call/text/etc if you want in.

EDIT: Demo, if you’re still hosting we could make an appearance there. Get up with me if you want to coordinate something.

I was gonna post a super smartass response to this, but decided not to cause I realize I don’t actually know who you are or think I’ve met you. I also started to type out this big post, but realized that people are gonna think what people are gonna think no matter what is said or how many words are used. The only thing I can say for certain, is that with a game like Marvel, it’ll take more than 2 or 3 tournaments to show who’s good.

Also, Matt I may see you tomorrow at 6. Me getting sick at your house last week was the start of something. Missed two days of work so far and left early once. Feeling kinda better, but it comes and goes. Feels flu-like, but not sure.

So the Tuesday session could be summed up as disappointing. Everyone asked for a weekday session to accommodate the players who work on weekends and so that Fayetteville could have more than 1 session a week, but absolutely no one showed up. Me and Raf got there at like 7PM and stayed there until midnight and the only players who showed up was Kevin who only stayed for like 1-2 hours and some random guy who we don’t know. Whatever happened to all the players who said they were gonna come? If we’re only going to pull 4 players on Tuesdays then it isn’t worth the time/money when you compare it to our 40+ player sessions on Fridays. So as for now the Tuesday sessions are more than likely canceled and we’re sticking exclusively to the Friday sessions.

you should try to be #1 and that should be all that matters. dont get caught up in that bs. just play and improve

The whole thing of “who is the best in NC right now” is stupid anyway, we have a long way to go before we worry about that and frankly we should be more worried about how NC stacks up against the rest of the country. Especially in Marvel, that game could change drastically any day now.

#1 in Marvel right now is definitely Fagneto.

OK, seriously though, I propose a method of devising who is the best statewide in NC by a simple method of recording wins and losses and giving them an arbitrary ranked weight on a handy tool I like to call a “Spreadsheet”.

I also found a really neat algorithm from my Junior High School Curling Team to use ON MY SPREADSHEET to calculate the points value of wins and losses in REAL matches.
By REAL matches, however, I don’t mean tournaments or major wins however. I mean games played at appropriate venues.
And by that I mean, at my house.
Also, it would be best if everyone came to my house to play these ranked matches because tournaments are obviously filled with scrubs, and therefore tournament wins don’t matter ON MY SPREADSHEET. So it’s best if all the good players just come to my house and I can beat them in casuals and be #1, despite me not accomplishing anything in any tournament setting, because only matches in my house count ON MY SPREADSHEET.
So far I’ve beaten my cat 500 times in Marvel thus earning me 1542320 points ON MY SPREADSHEET, so you guys have some catching up to do. By the way, despite my cat’s total lack of tournament experience, I still count her as an elite Marvel player. I mean all she does mostly is chew on the controller cord but she can play a mean Wolverine and I lost to her Phoenix once. Ironically she doesn’t use Felicia.

Will probably start trying sessions at my place once in a while later into the summer… I’ll be back in a few weeks with confirmation…every fg that games out seems so empty nowadays…profound sadness…

Cilantro is gdlk.

Cilantro is indeed GDLK.

Just to echo the sentiments that I’m hearing, yeah, it’s not a big deal who the best in NC is at this point, mostly because of the situations regarding the games; We haven’t had a legit Marvel tournament, and not too many people really play Super anymore with AE on the horizon. Even then, it’s a big fish/small pond mentality, and it’s that type of mentality that holds so many players here back.

That’s what I don’t see here, tbh. In an RPG, you can only level up so much in the same place before it starts to take a fucking longer time. At that point, you have to go elsewhere to fight stronger opponents in order to get better. We know how we play here, and fighting each other doesn’t do so much anymore. We need to go to VA and fight Ryry. We need to go to Jersey and get blown up at the Break. We need exposure to as many styles as possible in order to progress past where we are currently.

Besides, everyone knows I’m the best anyways.

(I’m trolling. Don’t get sad.)

(Kinda. I’m still the best. :wgrin:)

I wanna go to VA and fight Ryry actually, was thinking of doing that sometime after Fayettenam aftermath.

Also I don’t really care about leveling up I just want to body you guys and brag lololol.

This weekend is going to be interesting though, that’s for sure. I honestly have no idea who’s going to win. If I had to guess I’d put my money on top 5 probably being Me OJ Will Tom and Matt, in no particular order. Not that I’ve played Matt but I’m giving the benefit of a doubt here!

Also GGs at my place last night to everyone that came out, awesome gathering. Sorry if I missed any PMs… my monitor got commandeered for Marvel so I was pretty much offline after that lol.

No more Joe?
