North Carolina Thread LVIII

I don’t appreciate that this is your ringtone…

I see. I’ll have to change that.

To be fair though, the only game I care that much about atm is Marvel and the only person that’d be worth driving out of my way for is probably Corner Trap so going to Wilmington isn’t a huge deal. Yeah I know I just called out like 10 people but fuck it, step your games up!

Also I just noticed… 5 hours to Raleigh, 3 to durham? hahaha MAXIMUM TROLL

I think the pricing for Roski’s weeklies is at the right price point. I can’t imagine anyone wanting to pay $10 for a weekly, especially if they’re interested in all 3 games. That’d be $30/wk, or $120-$150/mo (some months have 5 weeks, plus gas). I’m sure that’s more than most people’s cell phone and/or cable bills.

I wasn’t sure if people were making the distinction between the weeklies or monthlies, but, I think there’d be a difference.

Hey SRK gang…sorry if this is the wrong place to post this…but Im in Charlotte looking for some offline SSFIV opportunities…I spent the day trying to find some kind of arcade but no go. Any suggestions?

Yea google maps is usually spot on for me, I hardly ever go over 5mph past the speed limit. I’ve been pulled over enough for not doing anything, dont need to give em a reason on top of it.

2 whoever is going to josiahs session, can a brotha get a ride, i aint never got gas… or money

Yeah for Roski’s weeklies I would say keep the prices where they are at. If MK is big enough than it can go up to $5 as well.

SPAM!

Session at my place tonight.

Location: Cary (right on the raleigh/cary line, PM for address)
Time: 7pm+
Info:

1 lagless CRT setup (xbox 360)
1 HDTV (no second system, if you bring a system with HDMI lag shouldnt be to bad)
Plenty of space for additional monitors/setup if you would like to bring one

Games:

AE
MvC3
Tekken 6
BBCS2

I own/play all of these games and am down to play any of them. As stated anyone that wants to bring a second system or full setup is more then welcome.

What is an arcade???

Are you sure? I’m in Cary and just google maps from my house to the location and it said 2 hours and 20 minutes which obviously isn’t accounting for traffic. Raleigh and Durham are around 20 minutes away by highway from my house just to reach the city itself and usually around 30 to get anywhere notable.

lol I see debate about google maps, along with Jos i’ll never go above 5 mph over the speed limit and in general it’s never been too off for me, it’s usually within 15-30 minutes earlier or later than the suggested time depending on the time left and location overall.

Also if anyone from raleigh going to josiahs session, can i get a ride BACK home, i live on six forks :slight_smile:

This. I have no problem picking him up on my way home from work, if someone that lives in raleigh could give him a ride back it’d be great.

OMG THIS!

I’ve been feeling this way for awhile. The way I see it is that at $10 you can weed out who is serious about playing the game and its more of an incentive for players to step up their game. It also creates a focused community within the larger community for each game instead of people throwing $5 in for shits and giggles. At last EZ both T6 and MK had respectable numbers so if each game can maintain more than 10 entrants I don’t see why they shouldn’t get $10 per entrant.

Roski: as much as I am hyped to see you back in the organizer position, the likelihood of me being able to make these regularly will be slim to none. with my schedule I rarely get off before 6pm anyways. then being on call some nights and then having to be back at work early typically just screws me all up.

the celebration station over here has 1 mvc2 cabinet…

Sounds great guys. Too bad I can’t make it. Hi DP!

Will be at the EZ tournament though.

damn im askin 4 way too much dont even wrry about it guys when i get the gas money to get around ill be at sessions, ive been tight on money for a minute now but its whatever dont worry about it thx for the help though

No doubt. GGs bro.

Since I will be with relatives in Wilmington again all of next week, I will make it out next Tuesday. If it’s fine I can bring my 360 w/ my 24" TN viewsonic and AE for casuals, if not I can bring some AV cables to just have an extra console. Also, I’m probably up for any gatherings that may occur down there next week as well.

Thanks for the reply but really looking to hone my SSF4 skills…i guess Im sticking to online then

There are plenty of people in Charlotte that hold sessions and even a guy who runs tournaments up there so just wait and see. I’m sure some of them will post up.
