This is a call to all the South’n Cali Garou players (particularly in the LA and OC area). I’m looking for players that are down to help set up small CASUAL tourneys (kick backs w/ no entry fees or prizes) to help support the scene. For the most part, I’m think’n this will be done on DC, but I’m open to emu and AES if anyone can help out.
Once I can get AT LEAST 8 people who can make it to the 1st casual, we’ll work on setting up regular meetings. I’m hope’n these CASUALS (more like small get-togethers) will be able to be held every other sat. Granted these start getting big enough, we can make OD2K4-WC (Overdose’04 West Coast) w/ Garou VERY realalistic.
Sup Magician, I wanted to know if you went to the Anihiem gathering that neo-geo.com held back in April, there were a couple of decent MOTW players there.
Where would you plan on holding the tourney, if it’s close enough to my place, I should be able to make it.
Nah, I’m new to visiting or posting in any forum so UNFORTUNATELY I missed that one. (DAMN, and Anaheim is not TOO far from me.) For now the location sort of depends on the people who are down to go and help set this up. I’m down, so one place would be in Cerritos (the border of LA and OC).
If you’re down, then perhaps we can set up in your area as well. I’m think’n we can do rotations. I might know some peeps who would be down to set up around Downey. If members or K-Force are down, we will probably see some of these things go down in Orange County (I’m kind of assuming around Stanton).
I can for sure make it, we just need to set up a place to do it and a date, i live in anaheim so that would be chill around there… MOTW is sick…I am soo down
Hey never seen you here before but is nice to new faces interested in the SNK scene. Anyway I’m kind of the organizer from K-FORCE, we dont really play GAROU but I think we can help you. I’organizing a 2K2 by the end of this month in CAMELOT GOLFLAND it located in Anaheim. They also have a GAROU machine there so if you want we can do something together, it will probably be easier for you that way. If anything let me know.
BTW I stay in Westminster 92683
Also who UnCauzi who is the owner of fierceslah.com is my friend and the other day a was talking to him about a tournament that he is going to do OVERDOSE2k4 he is planning to do it in NY but he commnented that if we get enough people he might do it here in SOCAL so get all the people you know to start asking for it man we can use the help of people like you man.
Master Giby - Since I don’t frequent neo-geo.com, can you get in touch w/ any of the peeps that attended that one tourney in Anaheim? It would be VERY appreciated!
RIPsta - I’m open for suggestions on spots. I’m totally down for places in OC, so let me know if you have anything particular in mind. As for a date, I’m hope’n we can get this show on the road in about a week or 2.
THE ANSWER - Me and my bro were a couple of the peeps that helped to make the Garou portion of the SNK tourneys at Evo2K4 run a bit more smoothly. I don’t have any plans on have’n any PRIZE tourneys for Garou as of YET, but I’ll definitely keep you guys and Camelot in mind. Any help is ALWAYS welcome tho. Sorry about the mix up in location, I just mentioned Stanton since I guessed you guys were probably relatively close to where the now legendary SHGL (Southern Hills Golfland) used to be.
I mentioned K4 (hope you don’t mind the abbrev for K-Force) cuz you guys seem to be one the most organized and strongest voices in the S.Cal SNK Community, but mainly for KOF. And I also know that at least some of your members know what time it is w/ Garou (XTG). I too am a supporter of the SNK Comm, but mainly for Garou. Because of the level of it’s popularity and support, I think it would be MOST wise for the GAROU Comm to 1st FOCUS on small CASUAL tourneys and GROWING in terms of number of (ACTIVE) members. I PRIMARILY want to BUILD a base for the S.Cal Garou Comm (much like you guys are do’n for KOF). I look forward to working w/ K4 and others to make OD - WEST COAST a reality as the Garou Comm grows.
For now, I’m just keep’n these CASUALS simple and really relaxed, homestyle, in a kick-back atmoshpere w/ friends (NO fees or prizes… we MAY start rankings tho). I REALLY hope I can gather at LEAST 15 heads from the S.Cal Garou Comm (there should TOTALLY be more than this, but all that counts are the people who actually SHOW UP to these things).
I’ve seen UnCauzi’s post, but I didn’t respond (my bad… it was an EC thing, which I would not be able to attend… at least not this year). For now, I’m more of a proponent for an OD2K4-EC & OD2K4-WC. I’ll give UnCauzi a holla about OD2K4 soon. Peace.
Hey I’m new to Garou but I’ll totally be down for Garou tournaments. Problem with Camelot in OC is their Garou machine is a pos. I own a store nearby that can be a spot for tournaments to if needed.
I posted a link to this thread over at neo-geo.com and snk-capcom.com. I’m about to go post it over at orochinagi.com, there are some hardcore SNK players there, but I don’t know if any of them are any good at Garou.
The only problem I have is getting down to the OC/LA area, I’m up here in Lancaster(93535) in the middle of the desert with no car. The only days I have off now are Sunday and half of Saturday. I couldn’t make it to the Revolution @ Evolution due to family problems, but those are over with now, so I should have a better chance of getting down to the valley.
If there is an OD2K4-WC here in SoCal, I’ll do damn near anything to get my ass down there just for Garou. I’ll keep you up to date with what the peeps at the other forums say and I’ll keep them up to date with what’s going on over here.
yo, i’m always down for get-togethers… if it happens in later september, there’s possibility that we can have it at my place, in Cypress… we’ll make it a BBQ & Drink Game (BDG) day and if some of you are DJs, i’ll set up a place for some spinning, but if someone else wants to host this even, then it’s all good, might even be better… i’ll keep you all posted… peace.
It sounds awesome. If I happen to be in LA, I’ll join in the festivities, too. This will be an absolutely great way for people to learn off each other and build the scene.
Where is this at. Also camelot has been fixing the machine lately since we have bee going to play 2k2 alot.
MAGICIAN whats up man I remember you know thanks for the help at REVO(Revolution@evo ). Hey I’m gald to see that you are trying to start something here in socal. Remember all you need is the commitment of the players, and as a matter of fact I started to play GAROU yesterday, and its fun I would like play against some of you guys, I play Freeman dunno if his good or not but his cool , and there is one more member of the
K4Z(true abbrebiation) who palys GAROU so thats 3 of us.
OK man lets get this started how about if we beggin with some casual play. TOMORROW Friday 20, most of the K-FORCE will be at CAMELOT like after 6 we are going to meet some other players to play KOF estimate total of 10. So anybody who wants to get some CASUAL play show up so we can get to know each other and get some action. Come on man lets do this.
ALSO FOR ALL OF YOU GUYS START EMAILING UNCAUZY DEMANDING OD2K4 HERE IN CALI, IF YOU CARE A LITTLE THIS IS THE LEAST WAY YOU CAN HELP US AND THE COMMUNITY. DO IT FOR YOUR SELVES MAN. HE IS THINKING OF EARLY NOVEMBER IF YOU DONT ASK IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
Ok, herez a tentative start date: 8/28. I’m pretty sure that our 1st casual will be go’n down somewhere in OC (Masataka’s shop?) since the majority of us seem to be situated near there.
Masataka - wow, you may just have the most ideal location thus far. I’d like to check out your store (and have some games w/ you) before we start these things (hopefully some time next week perhaps… I’ll be in contact w/ you). THANK YOU for your generous offer!
RIPsta - for now, I’m actually kind of shy’n away from Camelot because:
I heard the controls are shitty over there (tho that MAY be change’n).
They probably only have ONE Garou machine (that MAY have other games be’n played on it) which would really limit our practice and productivity.
I want to keep this as cheap as possible for all of us by not have’n to have our quarters crunched on machines.
I think play’n on consoles will also help to better prepare us for tourneys like Evo.
Once our crowd starts getting a bit bigger or if we feel that we should have a prize tourney, I will CONSIDER have’n some of these things over at Camelot.
Master Giby - thanks for spread’n the word. (I really SHOULD get more involved in the SNK community, but for now… help’n to build the Garou scene shall be my contribution). I know it’ll be hard for you to make it to these, but I’m sure I’ll be play’n against you some how some way in the near future (even if I have to bring one of these things to YOU).
moo - Yum yum! Good food, good music, booz and good friends. Where the ladies at?!!
THE ANSWER - Damn… I’d love to join you guys on fri, but I’m gonna be out of town. “Just cuz I’m gone doesn’t mean you other guys on this thread shouldn’t go!” So… Camelot may actually be start’n to clean up itz act eh? Nice to hear that you guys are starting to take up Garou (Freeman may look cool, but I think you’ll have yourself an uphill battle w/ him. I lost the link w/ the official japan character rankings, but if memory serves me, he was dead last). I’ll keep you guys posted about meeting up any earlier than the proposed date if itz possible.
OH and as responsible members of the SNK Community, speak up!! THE ANSWER is absolutely right. (Tho I’m down for and EC AND WC…) We NEED to write to UnCauzi and let him know that OD2K4 should DEFINITELY go down in Suth’n Cali! I’m writing to him right now. I’m count’n on you guys!
OK guys I told you we were going to show up yesterday. It was good nite a lot of people showed up and we had some nice games. Hopefully next time some of you guys will show up too.
Alright, this Wednesday, at my store “Xaos Cards and Games,” we’re gonna hold our first Garou Mark of the Wolves gathering. Feel free to come for fun and games. We got drinks and snacks for sale in the store, and I think we’ll have two tv’s set up w/ DC’s and Garou. Bring controllers/extra converters if you have it.
The address is 5642 E. La Palma Ave., Anaheim, CA, 92807.
Phone number (714)693-5007. It’ll be upstairs in the In N Out parking lot above CyberWorld. I should be their no later then 11 am but it’d be nice to know how many/when people plan to show up so please reply.
