Next tournament date will be 6/15, as set by Preppy. The title of thread as been updated with the next tournament date. XTG, if this will be a problem, do let me know.
I’ll see this season through to the end. We should conclude with a tournament sometime in July (prior to Evo West as intended). Please don’t ask me about afterwards, cuz I don’t know.
In response to PMs from some of you, yes, I have read through the character switch rule thread in the EVO section. Since MrWizard has posted some conflicting rulings, and the final analysis seems to run contrary to how MvC2 has been played for years (though he seems to contradict that yet again in a post after the amendment), let’s wait and see what the outcome is before altering our tournament format. There’s a lot of hating going on in that thread from MrWizard and various randoms, so I’m not gonna post anywhere near it.
Not yet but I just went to an interview at Nintendo today and I will probably get called in for game testing in 2-3 weeks so I have lots of free time and will be learning Puerto Rico within the next few days, do you want to meat at Zach’s early next time to play?
I probably will. Hopefully I’ll have my new stick done by then, as well. I’ll be making it a P360 for Marvel, so I’ll be getting used to that annoying stiffness/huge dead zones.
We need to show other 2d fighter some more love, people! Let’s get some 3s going on a PS2 and show some SNK love! Anyone got Garou? KoF '98?
JoJo’s? :lol: (I really want to try that game out)
Definitely want someone to bring Hokuto no Ken. I haven’t ever seen it live, and I want to bad…
I really think we should add some diversity to the games there too, I am DEFINITELY down for KOF 98 or Garou, and will play casual or money matches in either…but good luck getting Seattle to do anything except marvel and poker, we can barely get enough interest for ST.
Casuals, money matches (I am not claiming to be good) or whatever, I am down to play some SNK ALL DAY ANY DAY THAT’S HOW WE LIVE
Hey Kuenai, how much would you charge for just a box for a stick?
I think I’ll end up showing up. Actually I will be if nothing else comes up (death, castration, random girl goin out with me), I have a couple ideas I wanna try out.
Once more, my obligatory hype thread. The tournament is mere days away. Get pumped. Get angry. Do whatever necessary. Just get there before 9PM for Marvel. If you don’t play Marvel, you’re into necrophilia. With furry things. ST at 11PM, to be run by XTG. Items to look for this week:
Cody says that he’ll be back this Friday to defend his [seemingly] insurmountable lead in the Marvel rankings. Who will put him in his place?
Will Portland show up and run their best 5 Marvel players against the gauntlet of Seattle legends?
Will Raishinken attend and embarrass the ST players of Seattle? Or is he the Kuenai of Oregon–posting and not showing?
Will I once more be crushed by the might of Geif?
After getting a point at the last tournament [and failing to /godumb], will Frank continue to be the pessimistic morose motherfucker this week? You’re not as bad as you think, Frank.
Will Kuenai actually play in a tournament? Or does he prefer to show up late and not test himself?
Will IceNine finally suck harder than me at Marvel? Chris, gotta learn to loosen your throat, relax your jaws. Don’t forget to cup the balls.
Now that Julian is employed, will he finally throw down in MvC2?
Will new blood represent? I haven’t seen many unfamiliar faces in recent months. If you’re reading this thread and have never been to Zach’s shame on you. Come out this Friday and play some Marvel.
Not that many more tournaments until we wrap up the season. To all those who posted months ago about wanting a competitive environment, it’s here for you. Why aren’t more of you attending these things?
Zach’s is also a fantastic setting for board games. I got crushed in Scrabble last time. What will I get whoop’ed at on Friday night? Only time will tell.
Will Deezo still be angry if he wins a tournament? Mandel, I’m keeping the prize money next time. I’m broke, bitch!
Has anyone here played Evil Genius, the PC game from the now defunct Elixer Studios? It appeals to my inner megalomaniac. No wonder I keep losing to Sentinel, I just can’t comprehend mindless servitude.
Will we see an appearance of Pablo_the_Drunk? Shit is serious! Rat’s pretty entertaining when blitzed.
Speaking of which, why the hell hasn’t Rat been showing up for the tournaments recently? Shit is serious!
If you weren’t at Zach’s last time, you didn’t see his kick-ass new posters. Shit is serious!
I’m still awaiting the completion of that “free white girls” room. One day, Zach. One day.
Wither art thou, Bop Nation?
FFA in SoCal consistently gets over 20 or 30 for their ranbats (though the last one only had 19). Are they better than us? Is their scene more vibrant? You gonna take that shit!? Not only are we supposed to be the hub for Marvel activity, we don’t call our shit “ranbats”. Show up! Friday night Marvel at 9PM for $5, ST at 11 for $1. Get there before 9PM, have correct denominations.
School’s out, no more excuses. Quit your jobs and start training for EVO! Shit is serious!
SRK will be down for about a day, so the announcement says. So make sure you tell as many fighting game players as you can about this Friday.
If dann of anyone else between Northgate and Preppy’s needs a ride, let me know by tonight. Know that I need to get there no later than 8PM (since I need to run the tournaments), and that I’m usually among the last to leave in the morning. However, you could always try to hitch a ride home from someone else once you’re there. Forgot to offer earlier in the week.
Play Marvel people. What other game lets you get to shoot little girls in the face and face down a walking peyote? If you have an answer to this, I obviously don’t want to know you.
