Hey Cameron, that sounds great! (At least to me since I’m half Decent at 3d Fighting Games). I’m down with Tekken 5 DR and SC3 tourneys, even though I haven’t touched both games since 2005. But I dunno how many other people would be interested. I’m pretty sure theres more than three people that would be interested in Tekken tourneys. I would try to do some advertisements like flyers, see if you could hang those up at Gamestops, GameCrazys, and EB’s of Reno/Sparks to try to revive the Arcade Fighting Scene. Maybe you could get one of the stores to donate a good prize.
Ok Tantin thanks for supporting the arcade scene you douche! =P
Secondly read my post. The tournament for T5 will only be the start, I want to do more. Secondly, the settings have been changed (thanks to me) for T5DR and now it is 3/5 and has BRAND NEW STICKS AND BUTTONS.
I am also glad that apprently you speak for everyone about people who play tekken. First of all the game is NEW ande maybe you should BECOME SERIOUS about it because it is a DAMN GOOD GAME. No more unbalanced broken characters, sidestep and walk is good now, and tier C might as well be tier B because it is so balanced.
CvS2 remains one of the games constantly played by random people and competitors alike and IT MAKES GOOD MONEY for the arcade. I am sorry that you suck balls at CvS2(as do I) but that doesnt make an establishe game that out of towners will appreciate being available. Or maybe you forgot about them since your so selfish =P.
I could care less about A3 but was told to try and keep it so shut your hole. I am trying to make this a better arcade for EVERYONE not just myself, you, or even reno crew.
Yeah I am glad Reno plays slash…I AM TRYING TO GET IT IN THE ARCADE SO BACK THE FUCK OFF. If you WANT slash then support the damn arcade. I want to start slash but that does NOT mean I wont play other games and dont assume the same for everyone else tantin. Just because you could care less about other games does not mean you speak for everyone. I guess none of you would care to know that street fighter anniversary edition came in today and they will put it out when they figure out a spot for it. Also IX left the ordering place. Sorry to try and give you good news.
Thanks Vinh, was planning on doing that =D. But that is a little down the road. I am also going to attempt to get them out to most HSs but I only have connections to some of them.
I’d support the arcade scene, if I could have any fucking faith in the arcade we goto. How long have CvS2/#R been destroyed? Over a year? How long has it been since ANY game there has worked right? Tekken has been fucked for ages. MvC2 doesn’t work. Neowave doesn’t work. Wangan doesn’t work. Instead of fixing it, we get ‘automatic transmission only’ signs.
The Atlantis shows /any/ sign of changing, I’d be happy to go down there and play, but for the last year you can count on them about as much as you can count on a crackhead with your paycheck.
I’m going to reno this friday - saturday. I was wondering where is the best comp for cvs2, 3rd strike, tekken 5, and marvel?? I’m stayin’ at circus circus. Does people play at circus circus, silver legacy, or eldorado…?
The best comp for T5 is at the Atlantis, I would be more than willing to give you some matches there. Other than that our arcade scene is sucking and we are trying to revive it.
Tantin: Your right, our arcade has been in VERY poor condition for a long time now. The thing is is that this is now changing. Wangan’s new shift linkage is on order (the one set needed and 2 extra sets) and they would have fixed it had it been possible without new parts. I don’t know what the story is with MvC2 but I am sure Joey(our new tech) can fix it. Which reminds me, relay to Joey or to me so I can tell him all the problems. He is more than happy ro fix things if he knows they are broken. I don’t know what happened to CvS2 because I have been gone and out of the scene for so long. Neowaves wiring is screwed up the ass thanks to whoever wired it originally. Don’t know if that one will be fixed before we get IX but it WILL be fixed once IX is there.
Atlantis is finally showing some promise and as soon as I get in touch with greg about free play tekken nighyts (to learn new characters) I will get back to everyone =D
Hate to break the news to you Cameron, but Greg doesn’t give two fucks about you or any of the players. The ONLY reason he listens to you is because he’s a fucking moron about getting customers, and doesn’t understand why nobody shows up anymore. He won’t fix games, because he’s too worried about making a profit and not spending a dime.
Yeah, T5 has new sticks. Too bad 1p side is all fucked up, and replacing buttons takes 5 minutes at most. How long did it take to get them in the first place? 6-8 months? Yeah, really promising. I don’t give a fuck about the Atlantis, because it doesn’t care and never will care about me.
Due to the truth in this post, I will allow you, out of the unending benevolence of my heart, to go through the first Slash tournament without destroying your crossup attempts with Rin, and there will no no stompy supers
You don’t have to be so negative. He IS making an effort. And with your attitudes WHY SHOULD HE GIVE A SHIT ABOUT you.
We gave a shit, and had a great attitude for a LONG FUCKING TIME Cameron. The fact we kept showing up at /all/ after #R died says a lot. And Tekken5 has had problems since day one. We’re fed up, and we have a shitty attitude, but for good reason.
Hey man, I don’t play bideo gamez anymore, but I know as well as anybody that the “arcade scene” in Reno has been dead for years. All of the games we were promised always fell through. Every time a cabinet would break we would have to sit on our hands for months just to see some sort of result… only to have the things break again. It’s effing depressing, and it drove homies away.
Even though I’m not the one to ask, it is most obvious Reno is a purely console scene. Trying to start tournaments for things like T5, A3 or even DDR will bring meager results. Stick to console tournaments and I’m sure you guys will do fine.
P.S. Sup.
Around end of Summer season (End of August), I will be at Reno not only to relax and gamble. But I’ll also play anyone on T5 DR at Atlantis.
I guess I should just go piss in my customer’s eyes also by insulting their intelligence with $1.00 2/3 games, and non-stop broken machines. Incase you didn’t know, CAMPBELL is the only reason you have T5:DR. Not Greg. Get your facts straight. You’ll never see another new game at the Atlantis again.
Your right, I agree that Nick is the ONLY reason t5DR got ordered. However, the order could have been cancled at anytime, he didnt need to put in the brand new green joysticks and buttons, which btw work PERFECT and without a hitch. I would be fine with console tournaments HOWEVER, that does not allow the general public to enter them. It allows for us to be elitist and it is also near impossible to get the word out.
Info on tekken: it is now 3/5 1.00 dollar start up 50cents continue, soon to be changed as soon as the machine pays itself off. I am orginizing free play sessions with greg. If he didnt give a shit he wouldn’t even consider the idea because it takes extra work on his part, extra secuirty, and not to mention he won’t makes as much money. You people seem to forget he has a quota to meet and sometimes wasting thousands of dollars so 1/1000000 of the people who go through the arcade will be happier isnt in his budget(with yes he does have).
I guess I will tell him to sell Street fight aniv. edition since he asked about my thoughts on how much money I thought it would make/how many people in town and out of town would play. Since apparently no one but Rob and I give a shit about the arcade being decent(even if not for ourselves but for others) maybe I should just switch over and stop trying. When I start running my tournaments I will be sure to not run ANY games which you guys might want to show up for >_> Ridiculous.
I will see you then and I look forword to having some out of state competition =).
Will you also be an hour late because you had to stop at Macaroni Grill to work on SUPAH SECRETS CHARACTERS who won’t make it through the first round, like you did at Paul’s tournaments?
Why do you have NekoCrew under your name? O_o?
Because it was forever ago and I haven’t changed it yet.
And lol tantin sorry that I had a life and had other buisness to attend to other than the tournament. Tekken 5 was my first tekken (other than tekken 2) and I was still learning the game. Anyone who plays the game still (Rob included) can tell you I have improved a lot and my jack 5 is pretty nasty now. I haven’t touched the game until about 2 weeks ago and I plan on actually working hard this time. I am going to a major tourny on june 3rd and plan on making a strong showing.
If I wanted to make personal attacks completly off topic and be a jack ass…then well…meh. Not gonna do it.
Oh, I get it. No problem.
Anyway, here is how to own Tantin in 3 easy steps:
- Breathe
- Exhale
- Repeat.
