Southtown opens at noon tomorrow. Marvel3 and KoF13 will start at 1pm, and AE will start at 3pm (registration ends at 2pm).

AE, KoF13, MvC3 official ranbats tomorrow, and i’ve heard there might be Super Turbo and Mr Driller side tournaments if there’s enough people.

Demoninja · July 24, 2011, 10:58am

We met up with them and played a bit today, like I said earlier expect some sick Ash, Chin, and Athena!

Reiki.Kito · July 24, 2011, 12:13pm

This will really shake up the dynamic. Will Geovanni make it to first this week or will the new challengers show us that SoCal players are the King of Fighters?! Don’t miss out! Join in the fight or get on the stream at 1! You won’t want to miss this!

Super_Yan · July 25, 2011, 11:54pm

First piece of advice versus the twins: matchup experience doesn’t help. You have to play Sagat or T Hawk. :[

All seriousness though this is my new favorite arcade (well… after MGL/SVGL). From wack item Tetris to that Gundam game to my boyfriend being hella interested in your BB:CS2, I will definately be making the trip back up as often as my schedule allows. :3

…oh yeah and SFIV:AE :s

tastylumpia · July 26, 2011, 1:22am

I got exposed by Ram’s spidey XD. GGs to the Fairfield folk who came down. I appreciate the consideration from Southtown staff after all the salt over the monitor lag went off.

Reiki.Kito · July 26, 2011, 2:27am

This is a copy and paste from Kane317 at the KoF tournament. All and all, they had a really great time and that’s awesome for the arcade. If this is your tag, be sure to read the message. Thanks again!

I hate doing these coz I know I’ll miss someone so I apologize in advance.

Reiki.Kito: First and foremost, thank you so much for you hard work to organize and run the tourney. Every tourney has it’s bumps and bruises but it’s what you do with it that shows character. I think you did a kickass job and I know that I personally saw you request to SouthTown arcade to make it a 32 man tourney + byes but it didn’t work out. You’re hospitable, easy to talk to, and you’re developing a mean game. Please help me make sure these posts get read by the respective players =)

Isaiah: First thing you said to me was, “I just want you to know that I’m not normally salty.” Haha. Don’t worry, we never even for a second thought you were that way and we know it was just for Geo. You’re a very strong player and I’m expecting you to destroy us the next time we meet, we know you just had an off day and you should have easily been top 3. Thanks for the tips on Vice and we’re counting on you to develop the scene in Norcal as long as you’re not busy playing Mr. Driller!

Demoninja: It’s great to finally meet you in person, I’m sure we all can agree that you put on a stellar performance and CMD.Duc kept mentioning how your game was constantly improving throughout the tournament; he also said you win the most improved award since he saw you in February. Keep up the hard work and you’ll also be a force to be reckoned with (just trying learning more characters as well).

HaxMurderer: You bring so much energy to the scene it was so much fun being there. It was because of your commentary (fer reals) that made 4leaf, Duc and myself want to come up to visit you guys. I’m sure we’ll be working together a lot in the future on commentaries but I’m sure Haunts will want you to cut down on the cussing on national streams a little hehe. You also have a sick team with one of the strongest Joes I’ve seen in the west coast. Keep working on that Terry and you’ll be placing much higher in no time.

Renzo: Like I said before, we had an eye on you last NCR (Nov '10) right from the get go. At the time I remember you using Shen already. I know you guys all have your own favorite variation but there are some more damaging combos for Shen you try out like the ones we do: j.C, s.C, f.B, Ex qcf+K, qcf D, (slight pause), qcb A.qcf+A, [DC] qcf D, qcf+A, qcf x2+P DM (roughly 575 for 1 drive, 1 stock). You’re a very calm and methodical player and if you played a bit more I’m sure you’ll give us an even harder time.

Faze: Sucks to how the scheduling of the tourney went down but GGs and you’re another calm player where are very difficult to play against, I imagine you to level up real soon as well.

N4us:GGs, I forgot what your username was on here, but shame we didn’t get to play as much during casuals. I know that 4leaf wanted to talk to you and give some tips about Leona.

Fixel:GGs as well, your Ryo made a sick comeback and you nearly took out Renzo! Your Ryo also likes NeoMaxing my Chin as well Your Shen also shows huge potential and I was most concerned about him when playing you.

Haunts: If you’re reading this than you’re the true People’s Champion–we were all rooting for you. It’s crazy how much you’ve improved in two weeks man. Thanks so much to you and iPlaywinner of course and we’ll see you in EVO!

Ash Riot: It’s such a shame you didn’t make it into the tournament due to the miscommunication, but it was definitely good seeing a familiar face and I’ll see you in Evo alright!

Fatacon: Last but certainly not least, you’re kinda part of the SoCal group to me, so it’s kinda different leaving you a comment. Keep growing that scene and we’re counting on you to keep that group going man. We gotta level up both our DLs haha. Thanks for jumping in on the commentary as well (I haven’t watched it yet but I know it’s always going to be informative and entertaining with you). For the record, we don’t give crap about pushing the taunt button against friends (hey, it’s there for a reason right?) and we definitely like to pus their taunt button in crucial moments haha.

Sorry if I missed anyone and once again we had a blast and if it was closer, we would make it up every month (we just have to figure out a cheaper living arrangement). I sincerely believe, that you guys have so much more potential to grow a larger and even more competitive scene than what we have in SoCal. You guys also use a relatively diverse roster and that helps draw in newcomers. Overall we felt that it was truly rewarding to see the scene grow just as we expected when Duc, Metaphysics and I came up for NCR Nov ‘10 (and in Duc’s case, Feb’ 11) and it’s going to be scary what’s going to happen in the next 6 to 12 months.

Last of all, NorCal work your asses off to get to Evo, I know it’s only in 3 days but it’s never too late to scramble something together guys–it would be a HUGE oversight to miss Evo with Atlus coming, preview of the console version, and a chance to play some of the best in the world including our international friends.

Isaiah’s lying, he is the king of salt. Nigga is sponsored by Morton®.

Reiki.Kito · July 27, 2011, 12:40am

Oh wow, that was hilarious XD! Might be a long time till we see’em again so hopefully it’ll be when we’re all that much better.

Lord_Hedonism · July 27, 2011, 8:20pm

Are EVO streams going down this weekend on the big TV?

neiman · July 27, 2011, 9:43pm

Demoninja · July 27, 2011, 11:42pm

neiman · July 29, 2011, 9:15pm
