Reno Crew Thread, 2005

Very nice. Well as long as Atlantis get’s Tekken5 and Anna is released, I’ll be one happy T5 player. :tup:

if shit really comes out on feb 25 then will anyone care if atlantis gets it? cuz all american arcade will have it.

I’m going to Regionals at Sunnyvale, give me a price on my share of gas/hotel money

Well it does make a lot of sense just to play at somebody’s house for free, instead of popping in 2 tokens everytime. I guess it just all depends if all the competition is at somebody’s house, or at Atlantis. Though there is a lot of scrubs at Atlantis, so theres a lot of opportunity to gain hella money, pimp out your character, and for me to try to get Eddie.

When are Regionals?

So uh…where’s a good place to play CVS2 in Reno…preferably within walking distance of the Golden Phoenix?

Friend is having birthday celebration up there in March, and I was wondering where I could play if they decide to do something I don’t feel like doing. Any info would be helpful, thanks.

Do you mind walking a few miles?

Unfortunately, there are none man. I mean, you could play at Silver Legacy’s arcade but it’s not a very good place for comp / anything. Reno is also a very GGXX#R / Tekken 5 centered town; while we play everything, those are our main focuses.

The main arcade is the Atlantis Hotel / Casino, which is about 10 miles from downtown. You could always have one of us pick you up however if you needed a ride.

Gary: It’s awesome that they’re getting it, because we can play #R, NEOWAVE and go back and forth between them without having 1 game only at Rob’s house. Atlantis is kicking alot of ass lately in getting shit done / games up / ordering stuff.

Atlantis is sooooooo far away though…

But at least #1 Bus is more frequent than #11.

Nothing is close by the Golden Phoenix except Circus Circus and Silver Legacy. This isn’t just a XX #reload town, but majority of the players here plays #reload, and I guess now Tekken. The only place that you will see people play CvS2 (lol, and I highly doubt anyone will cause the sticks are faulty, press forward in the stick you’ll get a fierce, press medium kick you’ll get a random fierce, you press the jab, you get a random short, you press the short you get a random roundhouse) is in Atlantis, and I already said the reason why no one will play that game.

Atlantis is the place where most of the games are, which is miles from Golden Phoenix ; ;, dang sorry bro, I wanted to play your K-groove too hehe. The Otaku of Nor Cal.

Tantin ask JC if they have room for you, I don’t think we have room for you at Paul’s.

Please cut the fucking bullshit. Atlantis’ name came up because they are getting Tekken 5 like 4 months late, when regionals are half over, despite tons of advance warning that the game was coming out. This shit is lame just like every one was expecting frm them. No way can that be considered kicking ass.

Well Gary, what does it matter to you? You live in a place with Tekken 5 in every direction at your leisure. You can play top players, you could play scrubs, you could play whatever game you want wherever you want. I’m stuck with the worst fucking arcade in history (Nugget) having Tekken 5. I ALWAYS PREFER ARCADE OVER CONSOLE. Anyone in Reno does.

So, Who gives a fuck if Atlantis took this long to get it? THEY’RE GOING TO GET IT. Just like #R, just like NEOWAVE, just like everything. I’m sorry they can’t control when they can get games or not, that’s the bullshit behind casino ran arcades. I’d rather x10000 that they got the games late then never at all.

So yay for it coming out on console; I can practice my combos and go to the arcade and beast on everyone. :encore:

no sorry tantin our bunk is fizull

I think he’s just saying that why it took so long for that place to get it. He doesn’t know what happened, same goes for me cause I myself didn’t understand how Nugget got it first before Atlantis did. But that shit’s been beaten to death already, that I don’t even wanna hear it anymore. Yay Atlantis has it, and the good thing about that is we’re finally going to be able to hold tourney’s for it. Not like if it’s in the Nugget (that’s what Paul is trying to also say Gary). Also, 2 out of 3 in Nugget, while Atlantis will have it 3 out of 5. If you ask me, the games will be longer than just lossing 2 out of 3. As for Neo-Wave is there anyway they can control that damn screen. The V-hold is all screwy that the monitor is hard to look at.

P.S. Holla back, I’m just glad Atlantis got it.

:clap: :clap: , practice WS+2, 1, 1, f,f+1+2, 1???

JP

P.S. 4~3, f,f+3, 1, f,f+3, 1, 1, 1,2, f,f+3+4, 4, 2 YAY

Hmm…sucks. Thanks for the info…I guess I’ll have to stick to poker…Hopefully my friends will want to do other stuff and I won’t lose any money. Thanks again.

Hey JP, know any Christie stuff?

One question I have, and I don’t know who to ask since I don’t know any good Christie players personally, is about this combo I saw Qdogg do consistantly. It goes something like…

d/f+2(CH), d/f+1,1, 1,2,4

But for the life of me, I can’t get that 1,2,4 to work. Is there some trick I’m missing, or maybe my timing is off? Anyway, until I can get it to work well I just use f+2,1,4 instead. Either the 1 or the 4 whiffs.

Regarding that combo you’re telling him to practice, are you talking about Kazuya? ws+2 needs to be ch and people can escape it by holding forward. I think you’re talking about df+1,f+2 as the ender, because ff+1+2 is the stone head throw.

You forgot to add the wall splat after the 1,2 for the Raven combo. You should practice that Raven wall infinte shown in the TZ combo vid where you get a wall splat and do a half ssl into 4~3,3 over and over again.

If you’re dashing in already, you might just want to let them drop down a split second before doing the 1,2,4,4 (1,2,4 gives you a flip and no kick) if you’re whiffing the 4.

Atlantis got Tekken 5, it is the shiznit. However, they have no cards at the moment; they’ll order some more later.

And holy jesus fucking christ. I’ve never been more annoyed while playing Tekken. I have like 102102 little kids and grown adults asking me questions when I’m trying my best to concentrate, and Ivan is like “HEY HOLMES IS THE PARRY SYSTEM THE SAME?!!!?!?!?!??!”

Also, my fragile ears are shattered by every game being at max volume. Next time it’s earmuffs for me. :9
