Congrats to the people who’ve made it onto Team SoCal for the NorCal vs. SoCal 5v5 @ SoCalRegionals! I’m looking forward to see how this match (and my wallet from side betting) will turn out!
TvC Stuff for Halloween Week.
Wed: WNF @ Hollywood Park Casino, 7p-1a
Friday: Rotan’s Stream thingy
Sat: Tourney @ Play N Trade in Pasadena. From what I’ve been told some SoCalRegional tickets are one of the prizes for placing. At least a $40+ value right there.
Sunday: …that’s Halloween. Go party somewhere.
Hope to see some new and returning faces at one of these events!
Sorry to rain on this thread, but this post is concerning Larence.
I’ve been trying to contact you about the trade we have going on in the forums. I’m certain you received my TE sides, but I have yet to receive a single PM back from you since I sent you the tracking info. Not to call you out in the open, but I feel this is the only way I can reach you. Since the PM’s aren’t reaching you, hopefully this will.
You told me you were going to give me the tracking info and the package Tuesday evening as I did the same. Everyday after that I’ve PM’d you but with not response back to me, leaving me with the feeling that you’ve intentionally scammed me. I was very close to posting you as a scammer in the Wall of Shame thread, but Tangerine stepped up and is saving your rep right now, so thank him.
So seeing as you check this thread regularly, I hope this post gets to you. Please let me know what’s the deal. Did you actually ship it out or no? If not, I’m willing to wait as that is what I’ve been doing this whole time. Just give me the tracking info like you said and we’ll be straight. If you didn’t ship it yet, fine, just get around to it. I’ll be waiting for a response either via PM, in My Trading Outlet Thread, or here if you must. Thank you.
If anyone else knows or keeps in contact with Laurence on a regular basis, please get him to contact me asap.
What time is the Play N Trade tourney? I might be able to make that one depending on the time.
Play N Trade WILL have a TvC tourney this Saturday. There was a communication mix up and I take some blame from that. I’ve talked to the guy and sent him the basic rules (similar to FFA double elim tourney)
As for times and such, I’m unsure and I’ll have to contact him. I’m assuming it’ll take place around the same time as the SSF4 tourney (2pmish). I’ll update this post when I get confirmation.
Site has been updated with details, check tournament section.
I’ll make it to Pasadena Saturday. Hope there will be a turn out considering they didn’t even advertise TvC.
Thanks for the clarification!
Just want to say thank you to those who made it to the Plan N Trade tourney Saturday, that and a shout out to Play N Trade for being the venue for the day.
Now, to more interesting things for the week of So Cal TvC. It’s So Cal Regionals Time!
Wed: Wed. Night Fight @ The Proud Bird. 7p-1a. Also the venue of So Cal Regionals.
Fri: LAXtasy @ The Proud Bird… More of a club event than anything, but a great place to party at for friday the day before game time @ Regionals.
Sat: So Cal Regionals + the 5v5 money/exhibition match between NorCal and SoCal + whatever else the TvC community can cram in. Great time to start making some side bets!
Sun: So Cal Regional Finals.
Hope to see people represent the TvC community!
Thanks to Jint for pulling through and getting the TvC portion of the Play N Trade Tournament to happen last Saturday.
Quick results
1st RoyalFlush (Viewtiful Joe/Polimar, Megaman Volnutt/Polimar)
2nd Big Daddy Chris (Soki/Zero)
3rd Jint (Roll/Yatterman-1)
4th ll.nd (Doronjo/Soki)
5th Husser Brian (Alex/Chun-Li) and Tronzilla666 (Tekkaman Blade/Morrigan)
7th La(Rence) (Batsu/Ryu) and Husser Brian’s brother (PTX-40A)
Just to clarify, since I got first place, I won the ticket for free registration for SCR, but I had already paid for my registration of the event weeks before. Instead, I was actually playing for ll.nd and Tronzilla666, but both wanted the ticket since they both didn’t pay yet. The ticket was fought for in a first to 5 match at La(Rence)'s house… And the winner was ll.nd (took the set 5-2), so he now has the ticket.
Ok so my employer finally approved Saturday off (but not Sunday =( ) and I’ll be able to make it to SCR for that day. Can someone give me the details on where casuals are going to be held after pools? And how many Wii setups are there going to be at the venue?
I’m trying to shoot for 4 stations for TvC. Due to a sudden problem, the TVs originally going to be used are not available anymore. If anyone can bring Wiis and/or (more importantly) a Wii-compatible TV, please PM or text message me.
For casual sessions after pools, most likely it’ll continue for a bit at the Venue itself (after the 5v5 and whatever else people cook up that day cough team leftover Cali Qualifers vs. everyone else cough, but will probably continue @ TrueGamer’s self-procliamed TvC room @ the DoubleTree Hotel.
Hope this helps!
I have my wii and a small t.v. with me though. I’m not sure if you need it or not.
Just so you know that I didn’t all the colors for most of the characters though.
So whats next? With SCR wrapped up, a lot of people are signing this game off and with no planned majors in the future I can see why they would. So are we going to play it out until Marvel 3 drops or will TvC end right here? I, personally want to play this game until it dies. If we go by schedule, there should be an Airdashers tournament this Sunday so should I expect a turnout or is my Sunday going to be clear this week?
I plan to continue doing regular casuals until MvC3 comes out at least, unless something else major catches my eye first. I doubt I’m going to get back into Super at this point at least. People getting salty and stop playing a game that they enjoy playing just because SCR didn’t end ideally is silly. What I plan to do at the moment is just shift some of the training time I was spending on TvC over to other fighting games. My plan to revitalize the SoCal Vampire Savior community starts now. I will become a master at blocking tri-jump mix-ups.
I won’t be able to play this weekend, but I’m still down with playing as much TvC as possible. Still waiting for Wednesday nights off…
I think the better question should be: Are we going to try to stay as a sub-community within the Marvel 3 community?
I’ve got a lot of respect for SoCal TvC and I’m damn sure you all will be top Marvel players. Besides the WNF scene, I’d like to keep playing with you guys at least once a week once Marvel hits. I’d still like to play TvC anyhow, so maybe a TvC/Marvel thing. Just throwing that out there.
Although I still consider myself the new guy, I’m glad I’ve gotten to play with you guys for these past months. I think TvC has the strongest sense of community out of all of them all. I had been trying to find a community to learn to play competitively with for a LONG time. I was shit on by the Marvel 2 people for so long trying to find an arcade with people that would not basically tell you to leave and come back when you’re good.
Personally, I would like to keep allegiance with you guys and keep our little resilient community alive even after Marvel drops. We should find a regular time to play, and then recon at WNF for more match experience, since there will be a lot more people.
Hope this post wasn’t too personal or sappy, but I would really hate to see TvC write itself off. Instead of jumping ship, I say we work on setting a new endgame and keep SoCal TvC running. You all have too much of a good thing going.
Word. While I am hyped for Marvel 3, I will always have a soft spot in my heart for TvC and as long as there is a community out there I will always continue to play TvC. And you are 100% right about our community, its one of the best ones I’ve ever seen. Everyone knows each other and we’re all willing to help each other out, you just don’t see that in the mainstream communities nowadays. I know I don’t say much but you guys have been great and the ride has been good so far, I’m just hoping we can end this with a bang which leads to my next point. I was thinking maybe a little bit before MvC3 comes out we should have a massive tournament with all the TvC players. The pot should be big and the competition should be bigger, ponder on this idea guys because I really want it to be a reality.
Tangerine, I’m sorry that I suddenly talked to you. I get the impression you had no idea who I was, and I’m sorry I confused you Saturday.
As much as I’d want to support the TvC scene, SoCalRegionals was my measuring meter for how interested people were in playing the game.
Sad to say, I was disappointed. It hurts more when I talked to anyone around @ SCR and seeing that they enjoyed the game, but couldn’t play due to too many factors (don’t have a Wii, don’t have a wii-compatible stick, can’t find a scene near their area, Marvel 3, Giant changing the way the game is played, registration fee held them back).
Being @ WNF is the final nail in the coffin. It doesn’t matter what the reason, the end result is that aside from me and rayzrbyrn, I see no one show up for it anymore.
Given that TvC is a niche game already, I could understand that. But as a game in majors, its finished. It’s had its chance, and the SoCal community has continued to show its support and still continue to play the game, but its pretty much restricted to side tourney material.
My best hope is that a TvC2 will be in the works 4-5 years down the line, and will be open to more systems so that everyone can enjoy it.
But in regards to current TvC… I love the game, but I find it hard to take it seriously anymore. I’m a bit burnt out from SCR, but there will be one last big tourney coming up in two weeks (UGTL 8) on Saturday the 20th , so drop by to come and support TvC. This will probably the last important TvC tourney of the year, as this will be the last time people can showcase TvC and what makes it shine to the public.
I agree that one last tourney would be a great idea, but for that to happen it’ll be restricted to around February, as around March/April MvC3 will drop.
Still, I love playing matches, so if anyone wants to play, I’m always up for it. I’ll still support the TvC scene, but for me, its taking more of a backseat as a form of preparation for MvC3.
Thanks for all the hard work prepping for SCR and repping TvC, John. We never got to do those quarter money matches, lol. I probably saved a few bucks but it sounded fun. I hated to jet early Sunday, but my bro was pretty burnt out and had a long drive home.
GGs to everybody at SCR. That shit was fun.
I definitely still plan on making it to UGTL 8.
I definitely know who you are, you just kinda got me at an awkward moment. Sorry for not saying much. Anyways I really want to attend UGTL but its 18+ only, is there a way they can make an exception? And any news on the Sunday tourney? I really need to know if there is going to be one.
