Hey guys! Wanting a little late summer tournament action but Irene messed up your plans? Come to River City Runbacks on 9/10/11! We have singles and teams for SSF4AE, MvC3, MK9, and 3SO. Singles tourneys for T6, BBCS2, and AH3. The entire event will be streamed @ http://www.justin.tv/rvatournaments

We have an excellent hotel venue, and 12 “Renegade setups” with old school CRT monitors and Xbox360’s! No lag! HD! Amazing!

We’ll also have a guarunteed casual area, where you can bring a setup and play anything you want!

Today’s the last day to pre-reg for River City Runbacks and still be eligible for the raffle!

Plus you save 5$ from the door fee.

I’ll be there as long as obligated to bring up previous strange matter. Looking forward to taking your money in 3rd strike!

Oh and about that. Would you be willing to play on Ps2? That shit lags on both systems, straight up. I feel like a conspiracy theorist saying that but as a musician and experienced player, I say the timing IS a bit off. Also some other random things like ex-moves not activating 100%. Hugo needs 100%, can’t be 350ing or 710ing. I need that full circle!!!

Added so that Tager can catch Optic Barrels on non-Fridays

I’ve already made arrangements to go, long as there isn’t a ReSe that same weekend.

You’ll be there. Shit will be tight.

ps2 for the mm or te tourney? I don’t have a ps2 stick tbh, and only 360 games will get on stream… But I’ll agree if you really want my 10$


I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.572360,-77.464092

There are also some guys who come to Charlotte once a week for sessions and we play MK too.

I’ve noticed sound effect/music drops in 3SO. Like, I know in one match in arcade, I was playing Ken and he had no voice clips for a round, kinda weird D:

I’m doing well, btw. Just keeping on that Vicodin and not moving around very much.

yo man, I play AH3, my tag is purifyweirdsoul. I play Fiona, Petra and Elsa.

Isnt Wisnton Salem like =/= high point =/= greensboro?

Because I live in Winston Salem.

I have an open bar at my house. Thats like, motivation for me not liking to travel much to other peoples houses.

EDIT: WHOOOAAAAAAA Soul Calibur 4 players?

Anyone have game sessions in the Winston/HP/Greensboro area? Looking to level up my game in MK9.

Dibs on Mitsuru. :o

I hope Persona catches on more than BB. And I hope people’s taunts or super activations are them shooting themselves in the face.

@Sal

I’ll be there a bit latter (although that should be the norm for me at this point), need to take care of a few things first.

Neither of those happened during MLG Raleigh 2010. T6 and Brawl were ran during the 2010 season of MLG, not 2011.

LOL at the fact that T6 is the exact same way. But more people play SCII and the pot is way bigger. Thanks for further proving my point. ROFL!

If you’re one of the people who believe that MLG should try to step up their game when it comes to fighting tournaments then you should. MLG is trying to branch out with more than just shooters, the MLG sticks this year and T6 on the circuit last year are a couple of examples. If you want to see more successful fighting tournaments appear around and see the community grow then you should care.

…Why?
The community has done just fine promoting itself for the last 20 years.

Again, WHY does the community need MLG?

Also I heard about some pretty shady shit MLG pulled the last time they worked with FGC. Something having to do with money being taken.

you ruin it…where is the haha point…

and what is MLG?

You asked “Why should we care so much if MLG cares so much” and I responded to THAT question. If you’re now asking me “WHY does the community need MLG” I’ll answer THIS question. The community doesn’t “need” MLG in order to grow, but with it I do believe the community can grow larger than without it. SCII doesn’t “need” MLG in order to grow, but with MLG it has brought a lot of American players into the mix tournament wise. It has also brought the game’s potential to sight for people who live outside of Korea, myself being one. At last year’s MLG Raleigh while the T6 tournament was going on I was watching the Halo 3 match on main stage. Some guy turned and looked then turned back to me and asked “What game is that over there?” I told him “Tekken 6” and he replied “I didn’t know that game could be so hype. I might have to check it out now.” One thing I will give MLG credit for is at least they’re trying to expand, especially with a name like Major League Gaming. If you’re fine playing the same people and attending the same tournaments then why do you even care at all? That’s my question for you.

That was in Brawl and unless you consider it a fighting game then it doesn’t count.

Cool ok mane, see you later tonight.

no…I heard it was for Halo or something. It was evo 2k5. Brawl wasn’t out then. I hear this is the reason that MLG/FGC won’t work with each other. I hear some guys from MLG just took all the money and ran

edit: that wasn’t mlg, it was the cannons. my bad. But mainly, if MLG wants to do fighting games, then why don’t they reach out to the FGC? They got the resources, just ask people who know about fighting games.

Not sure if these guys are on the board or not but usually Sneak and Jordyn and sometimes myself host sessions in Greensboro. Here most of us play AE, but a few of us do play marvel and MK as well. Theres not that many ppl that play MK in gso except for like 3-4 of us.

We have a facebook group set up where we basically set up the sessions and keep up with each other since we all usually check it quite often.

PM me your name or email if you are on facebook so I can add you to the group. We definitely need more MK players!!!
