Gamefrog was pretty fun for casuals/ranbats and the pizza was good. See everyone at EZ for more recording and then again at the ReSe tournament.

Quick 3S question, i’ve been messing around with the game for a really long time now but never got really into it since it was always just GGPO. How does Remy fare in terms of like viability? The characters I play in other SF games are typically like Guile/Bison although I guess I mess around a bit with Ryu/Ken they aren’t really people I care for much.

Gamefrog results?

I don’t think any of the tournaments were ran except for SF4…

Anybody in the Raleigh area that I carpool with to the next Elite Zone Friday event

Figured this is the easiest place to intro myself, since I’m actually getting into fighting games again.

Name’s Nathan, and I play… just about everything. Didn’t do fighting games on any serious level until a few months ago, then Evo got me hype for tourneys, and since EZ is within walking distance, I figured going out to the one next weekend and getting my ass handed to me seems like a good way to start.

I already posted on the EZ event page what I can bring to the tourney, but for berevity’s sake…

3 monitors (soundless 22")
1 360
1 ps2
1 ps3 w/ AH3 installed

Goddamn. Finally home after two weeks in florida with no computer. Haven’t seen any EVO matches, but I’m about to fix that.

Just wanna say two things though

Heihachi will NEVER die! He is Harada’s favorite character!!! And Bojangles is delicious.

I am itching to play a fighting game, and I have practiced blazblue so lets get it cracking.

Gamefrog only ran a SSF4 AE tourney at $2 an entry.

Top 3 results

  1. RAF
  2. Jibbo
  3. OJ

I think I play the wrong game in this state :sad:

Oh well… GGs. I hate SF4 but random select was fun atleast.

You mean MVC3? Cause I always thought we were suppose to be pretty good in that, of course this is purely from an outsiders view on watching everyones matches.

I’m gonna be happy when we finish this house up and sell it. I’ll be able to attend all the tourneys I want and that list from Gamefrog will say
SSF4AE: 1.)Her0 of Tim3
2.) Raf
3.)Jibbo
4.) OJ

Hey dont forget about the EPIC NC vs VA ft5 MM in Tekken yesterday lol. You know the one DeMo won 5-3 and then didnt get paid by his opponent for, yeah that one.

But yeah I had alot of fun yesterday. 7pm was a little late of a start time if you wanted to accomplish doing those character breakdowns though. People were more interested in just playing at that time.

Mike (Sofa): if you need any more help in Tekken, im sure D_D and myself will be glad to help in any way possible. If you send me your email I can give you the complete translated frame data SPREADSHEET I made. Also if you are 100% serious about picking up that PS3 I will have it with me tonight at the SummerSlam get together. As noted (and this is also for anyone else interested) it is

Hello,

I am a fighting game player from Gboro, NC, and I was looking for friends to play fighting games with.

My name is John, I’m 24 years old, and I’m totally chill and nice.

I’d say I am only an intermediate player, and I just bought my madcatz TE stick a couple weeks ago, but I love it.

Hit me up if you want to hang out and play, or just talk about fighting games.

Sincerely,
JWylie311

What, Mike from EmoPrinnys is Sofa_King? I had no idea. I’m the boxer player, and I think you were the Akuma? Starting out in competitive fighting games can be rough, I’d be glad to give you some pointers too. If you can understand me that is, lol I’m kind of hard to talk to.

Sup Nathan, that is indeed an excellent way to get started. See you at the tournament!

By the way, this is pretty much how people should always introduce themselves lol

Thanks for setting an example of how new players should always introduce themselves into the scene. Don’t forget that we also have weekly sessions at EZ every Friday from 6PM-whenever. As for the monitors, why are they soundless? Some people find sound important since they use it to react in certain situations while others find it useless since it’s normally too loud at tournaments anyways to hear much. What kind of monitors are they? CRT’s hopefully. Also what games do you have on your 360. I’ll update the equipment list later on today.

That sounds misleading. Maybe you two had an agreement I don’t know about but the money was between me and you to start with and then Javier side bet my wager so I switched to him. As far as I know, ariez never intended to put up any money – I sort of forced him to play with my money on it just for the hype factor. Perhaps I wasn’t clear about the switch but if you want I’ll money match you in tekken in the not so distant future for the 2:1 odds (10$:5$) difference.

It’s no big deal really, but I just don’t want my boy getting his name put out like that.

And Javier “That’s how we do it in NC!!” :lol: :lol: :lol:

Oh then thats my bad. I mean him no disrespect AT ALL because he was cool peoples and I THOROUGHLY enjoyed him being there.

Haha I dunno, people always trying to play SF4 around here, doesn’t seem like we have many Marvel players. It’s like what… me Will and OJ?

I gotta say, your total and repeated lack of mention for James is kind of astounding. He’s clearly among the top Marvel players in the state.

There was Sneak and I in Greensboro. We played a lot. Marvel has plenty of players just not a lot people who actually post.

They’re LCDs, but I have no idea what the lag is on them. I’ll probably get around to testing them sometime this week, if I can find the stuff I need. As for 360 games, Garou and Turbo HD is just about it. I play most all my FGs on PS3 nowadays.
