RENOCREW 2011 (Northern Nevada's Fightin Game Scene)

Brent dont bash my car.

BLAZBlUE up in running in about an hour or two at the atlantis1!!!

so…free hour tuesday+blazeblue=profit???

anyways mark you got an 775 phone that i can get a hold of you?

and did Josh decided on 1st place prize for the tournament in hayward yet???

What time is Free hour tuesday ? I might go right after work since im down the street … So if someone wants to play there let me know.

free hour is 4-5pm but you need a vip card :stuck_out_tongue:

anyways i dont think it would be a problem since you only need one person to swipe the crap out of the machine within that hour. so you should come down and check it out if you can make it.

Aite kool, then ill go , im assuming you know someone with a VIP then ?

I get off at 345 so I should be there at 4 either way , I wanna see what the BB looks like now.

wow playd sfiv at atlantis lol at the buttons

I still dont see why yall go to arcades when we got sf4 and consoles. Maybe thats the pad in me speaking.

Josh has yet to decide right now for sure also, futurechamp.

Am I the only guy in reno not that hype for BB? Ha

excel, im not that hyped up about it either. shit looks like 2nd class character counterparts of the guilty gear characters.
i wont play it until they make adjustments to the game.

and josh needs to put some prize adjustment soon for this tourny, cant wait till the last minute, by then i probably dont want to go :confused:

also the cabinets are not the best for the sf4 and bb, thier working on putting button caps and whatever else to make them look nice.

Hi there.

Just to introduce myself, my name’s Ryan. I’m currently living in London, UK, but from teh 14th of August, I’m coming over the Reno for a placement year of my Biology degree at uni, working at the UNR.

Oh and I love Street Fighter IV.

I’m not the best or anything, but I think I’m semi decent enough Chun player (though I’m a pad player only at the moment, but willing to give sticks a shot!). This threads got a lotta pages to trawl through, and I’ll get to that eventually, but for now, whats the scene like? Are people meeting up to play in arcades (I’m seeing Atlantis mentioned a few times) or going round houses?

Anyway, just saying hi. After I get settled in a bit more, I’ll start looking arond for decent people to play with!

look nice huh, they should opt for play nice

And Mark you really need to get used to a stick boy lol.

And it seems these threads go dead for like 2 weeks then a few days of posting then dead for another few weeks.

If no one can find a venue soon for get togethers, I might just hold shit at my house I guess.

Or even online at this point,Had some good games with Igloo in HD a few times now.

Hey from a fellow UNR goer.

Im a pad player also…the only other pad player you will find up here amongst most people but it doesn’t really matter as long as you execute and are good. Community is pretty decent sized,but is disjointed at the moment, but can gather together again whenever with some orginization.

Just hit a few of us up when you get down here and Im down to meet up to play whenever.

And Brent, why exactly should I use a stick hmm?

Cool, thanks for the info. Looking forward to it!

Yeah, Reno’s scene has improved dramatically thanks to the release of Street Fighter 4. Last small ghetto tournament we had was 10 players, and that is exciting for this little town. Also, there is a free bus from the UNR area to Atlantis (I THINK?)

We have an awesome arcade with BlazBlue, Street Fighter 4, tons of racing games and some of the rarest Bemani titles in the US. The games are a -little- bit overpriced, but it’s to be expected when they’re brand new.

Also, they’re ordering new 8 way joysticks, Convex buttons and new microswitches. Once those get in, the machines should be absolutely perfect.

Do you guys have Technika in Reno?

You should use a stick because if you ever go arcade “dojo busting” style (travel to random arcades in cali / other places on busy nights and rape face), you can’t do it on a pad. Unless you play Tekken 5. :3

Come bust SVGL :3

What is that. :o

Here’s some guy playing

Here’s what it looks like not in poverty quality!

Yeah I tried the stick thing for a few months and It doesn’t gel well with me. I’ll admit its more precise a little bit, but comfort and reaction not as high on it for me.

and Soul Calibur 4 also pad love!

Okay, I visited Atlantis today and talked to Joey about a few changes

SF 4 Machine now has the sticks set up correctly, and with good sticks / convex buttons.
BlazBlue works perfectly from my tests

I made a couple suggestions to Joey about machine arrangement, and pricing, so hopefully he’ll get back to me about how his boss feels about that.

**ALSO! Tuesdays = Free Play 4pm ~ 5pm. I will try to go to EVERY ONE OF THESE and load the machines up hardcore with credits, as I have an underground card. Official day to meet up at the arcade? **
