North Carolina Thread LVII

I’m trolling trolls, we’re reaching a singularity here. Also don’t be putting my middle name on blast, shits a secret PJ.

GAMES AT MY PLACE TODAY (TUESDAY NIGHT). YOU GUYS KNOW THE DEAl. PM ME IF YOU NEED INFO.

But yeah on the “Marvel is a bad game” discussion… I won’t say that it’s bad. I also won’t say it’s balanced, but I do know it’s fun. It’s a breath of fresh air, with offense, and no holds barred cheese. Unlike SF4’s restricted, very controlled environment, MVC3 is pretty much the complete opposite. I personally enjoy that aspect, I like the freedom of movement, dumb shit, long ass combos, etc etc.

I know I complain about Wolverine but I don’t know if we’ve fully fleshed out fighting that character. He’s dumb NOW. He still has some stuff that will always always be strong but I also think there may be more to it… I don’t know. I’m not going to lay down and just accept defeat from that character because this is fuckin’ Marvel… I’ll just have to out cheese him.

On SSF4… as long as people here are playing that, I’ll put some time into it. It might not be fun but it probably does help better you as a player.

This is true .

Samurai where do you live?

Matt are we still playing tonight? I would like to swing by after work if you guys are still playing.

money matches in hyper SF Alpha… first to 5 for 25.00 at lucky’s this weekend no shin akuma or Ce-ism… any takers?

Cary, probably ~1HR from Fayetteville.

I see nothing new has changed in NC since i’ve been gone. Glad to be back, heard rumors about Current Code and I think a confirmation on KOF XIII. Although I realize neither are capcom games so i’m not so sure if anybody really gives a shit outside of maybe 10-20 guys.

Tekken 6 will be at Lucky’s this weekend. DeMo has got this covered. As always.

Bring your $5.

Weren’t you just posting like 2 days ago?

In Cary right off 440. You’re welcome to come out if you want.

I saw SF Alpha and money match used in the same sentence. You’ve got my attention. Wait, someone else said Tekken 6 will be at Lucky’s. This puts a smile on my face.

He was at CEO 2 days ago. Doubt he was posting with everything going on there. xD

Also Mike, did you hear something at CEO about Current Code??

SFA MM? There’s this guy named Matt Frank you might wanna see. Maybe you’ve heard of him. He plays SFA and he likes MMs.

About Tekken:

maybe with this whole sudden influx of new players around here I may not have made myself clear or introduced myself properly. Hi! Im DeMo. You see the sn here, I am also SilentSymphony on Tekken Zaibatsu. If there’s ANYBODY to talk to about Tekken in NC, im that guy. I may not be the best player in the state but I AM one of the most knowledgeable. If there’s a tournament or a gathering and im there, Tekken is ALWAYS with me, no questions, no ifs ands or buts about it.

With that said, I’ve also proven to be consistent with my tournament attendance. In 4 years I’ve only missed 3 Lucky’s events and I don’t intend to miss this weekend. This means that Tekken will be there and it will be run BY ME as always. Here’s the rules

format is PS3
$5 entry
double elim
3/5 rounds 3/5 matches w 60sec timer
random stage unless agreed on by BOTH players
no special item use
no whining
pot split is 70/20/10 unless entries are low

now I know a few of us play other games (ace plays AE I know and I play MK) so Tekken will start NO LATER than 3pm. other games have to be run and my setup will likely be used for another game, so be on time.

that is all. I look forward to seeing you Saturday.

also there will be a practice session TONIGHT in rdu (that’s Raleigh) for those interested. please pm me here or on tz for details.

Gonna be in RDU and not hit up my gathering? Unless this is Tekken only in which case, cool beans, hop kick away.

I’ve been using Challonge for a while to run online tourneys for a different forum and it’s great! It doesn’t track all the same things as Tonamento though, like pot totals or regions, and it doesn’t show a list of matches that should be playing or anything. Basically it’s great for online mostly because the players can report their own results and the bracket will auto advance. I’ve never had occasion to use Tonamento myself but I understand that it’s better for offline stuff.

Jon I can’t make games at your place tonight unfortunately, but see you and everybody else at Lucky’s on Saturday!

The only thing Tonamento really has over Challonge is the fact that Tonamento keeps tracks of wins, placing, and pot totals of players over time, and then sorts players by rank.
Problem is, that stuff only really matters if many tournaments are consistently recorded, and no one is really using Tonamento that much anymore.

huh so there’s a KOF 13 arcade rip out

Jon: the session tonight is at Bryans. it is PRIMARILY Tekken but there will be a setup for MK as well. I still have your addy, if you all are playing after 1030 or so I may be able to slide through. then I work 6am-4pm tomorrow and im off Thursday meaning my Wednesday game night is a go.

I hadn’t posted since June 6th, that’s far from 2 days ago. I was at CEO the entire time. Wish I could make it to ECT3 as well but two majors in the same month is a bit costly for me.

No problem man, get your tekken on lol.
