I’m thinking of making it a weekly or bi-weekly, more often if we can actually get 2-3 more people to show up. I will have my 2nd CRT from the repair shop by Friady.
Me and Justo spoke about this, and it’s looking like him, Zorin and myself will make the next gathering for sure.
Another thing I wanted to mention was that I was thinking of setting up an online training session at a certain time in the week (say Saturday’s at from 7 to 11 or something) where we can all join a big endless lobby for the springfield heads. It would make for a good secondary session aside from gathering’s at Pat’s. Everyone should let me know what time is good for them to see if I can come up with a perfect neutral time.
Lastly, I tried adding several of you but no cigar. If I didn’t send you an FR send me one. The Handle is Pancho BLD.
I haven’t been playing a lot these days since Reach has been out and I just got Medal of Honor early as well, but Ill definately be playing more often if there is this much interest in the area.
Peace.
I really hate to bring this up in such a manner, but I am most curious about something that was brought to my attention today. Apparently someone at Gameplay openly said I was trash, I guess particularly about Street Fighter. I can’t for the life of me figure out why this is, since I really haven’t talked trash about anyone ever, however since it happened Im certainly not ignoring it.
To whoever this was, I will be more than happy to play you anytime, it should be easy since I am in fact no good. Ill be waiting for a reply by PM, or at least I hope that’s how you will choose to conduct yourself, although evidently I can’t expect much from someone who is already intent on slandering my name for no good reason.
This is not in anyway a jab at Gameplay, nor does it have anything to do directly with their establishment. This dispute will likely be resolved outside of Gameplay anyway (in a civil manner over a game of Street Fighter of course) so please do not be alarmed.
I am looking forward to a response. Thx.
Oh so that was you, I share the account with my brother. The gamertag is his and he mostly plays online and stuff but that’s just because i hate online play. I’ll accept it and maybe attend those sessions that you are holding on saturdays.
Im not holding the sessions heh, Pat is. But yeah if you hate online that’s cool I understand.
Edit: Whoa disregard, I thought you meant Pat’s IRL sessions lol. I totally forgot abouth the proposal for online sessions. My bad.
Pancho - at GamePlay that was me, and you can ask Jake/Andre anyone who was there, I never said you sucked, I said our area doesn’t have anyone that would be recognized outside of New England and that unless people start playing together we’ll never see that. I also said that I loved playing with you at Holyoke and how fun it would be to finally see a big scene pop up. These guys though Springfield actually had a “big” fighting game scene. I’m pretty sure that we have something but not what anyone should or would call big.
In other news, I will be doing it again this Sunday at my house, starting at 6PM. If we can get one other CRT and people to bring chairs it would definately be easier. I’m sure the lawn chairs were comfortable, and eventually I’ll buy more folding chairs, but for now BYOC and BYOB. BYOB if of age.
So 6PM - My House this SUNDAY. Thats the 17th.
Well I should clarify that I am not angry. According to the account I heard it just made it seem like I couldn’t even teach anybody. A lot of the newer players from this area learned things through me. Not taking credit for their accomplishments, but people like Zorin for instance got a lot better initially because of my advice in fighters. Presently, Me, Zorin Gonzales and even Justo are known in New York, Connecticut and Eastern MA depending on who you talk to and we have even been to the Midwest to compete. We aren’t great, but we work at it and we try, and for a time we were all Springfield had.
With all due respect, I think we shouldn’t worry about commenting on anyones place on the ladder so to speak. I hope you understand why one could be marginally bothered that someone allegedly commented on my skill in the game when I have at least worked at it for the better part of 6 years now in various fighters, something you know very well.
But it’s alright. No big deal. I know you from back in the day and there is nothing but love here Pat. Just wanted to make sure there is no animosity and hatred going on, and if there was, I wanted to make sure it was settled over a good competitive game of street fighter. :wgrin:
If I hated anyone over a video game it would only be Ken. You both taught me Tekken and as everyone knows, I’m the greatest tournament winner in Western Mass Tekken history. Back onto subject -
This SUNDAY, October 17th we will be meeting at my house:
Address: 59 Eton Street, Chicopee, MA 01020.
Phone# 413 519 9835 - Call me if you get lost.
Text/Call me anytime if you want to show up, not sure about something, etc. Bring your newbies too since it will give me someone to beat!
OH snap springfield, coming out to play hehe. I actually work in the area, but live in CT. Are you guys always going to do sessions on sunday? If you happen to do one in the middle of the week I’d definitely try to show up after work.
If I have the night off Sunday, I will try and make it to this meet. Has anyone told Kona and BlueNINE about this yet?
I don’t know if Kona knows since he kind of stopped playing SFIV and has focused a lot on the Anime fighters as of late.
blueNINE probably knows.
Might be up for these, but not this one coming up. I’m in Pittsfield, MA but I’m an honorary Springfielder because I have no scene to call my own.
edit: Kona was at the last project failure in CT playing SSF4 though so there IS hope.
If people wanted to meet up another day during the week I can do any day Monday through Thursday at my place.
Yes Apex is truly a springfielder through and through. I once said out lout that Apex was a great, nice man and the whole room filled with people from the mean streets of Springfield got up and clapped as though they were participating in a banquet set during a presidential speech. Serious.
We can carpool, lol
Word! Good to see that there’s a western Mass thread. I’m down for meetups either on Sundays (as long as there isn’t a Souper Bowl tournament) or weekdays. I’ll be away from home until after Season’s Beatings, though.
Hey man! I remember that match. It was close indeed. If it makes you feel any better, I took out Juicebox’s Juri too, and got top 10. Haha. Hope to see you come to meetups over here, man. I didn’t know you were from this area at all.
Hehe…Pancho knew that I would know. Dat yomi!
True story, actually.
If people wanted we could car pool up to the fight night events at GU or other spots. Next Sundays tournament @ SouperBowl would be a definite opportunity also. I’ve had a few people text me since last night about meeting at my house for this Sunday. If we wanted to do a meetup @ GamePlayUSA and people are fine w/ a venue fee I will talk with Jacob tomorrow about hooking us up with a deal if we bring the CRTs.
seeing as i have no computer it is hard for me to get on here any more but i will be make to as many meet up as i can. The more the better. (as long as your not rude to people you barely know. you know who you are.) this will help us out a lot so we dont have to drive a hour just to get games in. oh and just one more thing
LETS NOT GET SALTY AT EACH OTHER
I’m to old to be salty. Back in my younger days i was known to kick a Tekken machine or two.
Screw that shit an’t hype unless sticks getting thrown lol
