With the announcement of the all girl Invitational and with AfroDojo opening up March 1st, id like to send out an open invite to all the seattle Fighting game Females.
AfroDojo would like to help train all the females in the area that are serious about attending EVO and wanting to represent females in Fighting Games. If this pans out well with the training, it be nice to form a 5 female team to represent the AfroDojo and NW Fighting Game Community.
A lot of females will be attending this event and the invitational looks pretty promising. For the females, they pretty much get to enter two tournaments for the price of 1! I have seen some of the females in our area play and they have their skills and techniques down. With some extra concentrated practice, we could guarantee a NW victory for the Men and the Ladies of NW.
So if any players out there know of any females that are into their fighting games but haven’t really been discovered or been to GW or zachs, please feel free to pass the information on. A few have gone to Tourney Wars, so hopefully they check this thread out and are willing to level up with the rest of us!
Her name was Tanya and the Oregon guys know her. She had a solid Rose, she took out Jared’s Seth and made him switch to Blanka.
I’m trying to get my girl interested, but I don’t think it will happen. She doesn’t really play any video games at all. Though she rocks me at Mario Party.
There was also that girl Ryu player (who I think also beat Jared at NWM in casuals lol) that was decent, though I don’t remember her name and have no idea where she was actually from.
Getting girls into competitive gaming is always awesome, but it’s pretty hard to do haha. Usually it’s a certain breed of woman that’s hungry to win, either that or its a girl who’s man plays and wanted to try it. Either way it’s pretty rare.
Tanya from Oregon or used to live there and now is here? She already seems pretty gung ho. Thing is, we already have a few females that are playing and are really good…they just dont come that often. So whoever can get a hold of these women needs to get the info to them and see where their heads are on the subject.
Everyone should be scouting out not only for females, but any new comer onto the scene. Direct them to the AfroDojo!!!
March 1st 6 cabinets in the garage to start off. 2 dedicated ssf4 2 jap cabs (3s,ST), 2 stand ups with interchangable arcade games (a3, a2, cvs2, mvc2)
Word Rayblade, so she really is an Oregon player? She drove 2 hours to be down with TW? That’s tight, definitely send that shout out. With the addition to Mor and her home girl Mindy (?) Alexia Valle (someone find her!!) and Tanya, we are gonna BEAST in EVO. Just need 1 more to get that full 5 Female team!
