A few friends and I have decided that we can’t let the Portland folks have all the fun, so we’re building a local fighting games community in Corvallis. The gaming lab staff are behind us, and will actually stock the lab with games and fightsticks once things are established, but in the interim there’s a lot of BYOGear going on. There ARE consoles (4 360s, 3 ps3s) and TVs/monitors for us, and if you play with pad then there’s plenty of those about too.
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is our primary game of choice right now, but this is an effort to build a community, so I expect to see it branch out to other games once the connections have been established and common interests are discovered. (Personally, I will throw down at Soul Calibur II ANYTIME.)
Come by for a whole session, just an hour, or just a match or two. Half the battle is just knowing who you are! All skill levels welcome, (seriously, the dozen or so players I’ve met in town so far have a BROAD range of skill) but we want people who are looking to improve.
I’ll try being there man. It’s a big day for me in OSU but I’d love to see what some other players can do. Lets see how some people put up with the Cammy-pressure.
