Springfield, MO - No, really, we play fighting games here!

That’s kind of impossible since it takes place in Overland Park,…KANSAS. and KC is going to whoop STL’s ASS!!

Oh, I’ll be there for sure. Might have an extra head or two for BB as well.

I’m still alive. Just not playing anything much besides RE. I won’t be able to attend much tournament. Something else came up now besides work on top of it. I got to start saving.

Sang, you’re not getting married are you…?

Mouse and I are of course up for more games. My schedule is kinda weirder now, but I’m always wanting to play. ^^;;

I’m not. I’m just getting ready to go to japan next year and I need to save up some money and time off. Not to mention I just moved out not too long ago and still trying to get things together. A lot of things I still need to do but I’m trying to balance it.

We’ve got a pen-pal over there in Yokohama I’ve been wanting to visit. You going to compete or just visit?

Just Visit. Nothing related to gaming though I will play if I have the time. I’ll be gone for two weeks. Its a class trip so I won’t be alone. My sister is going to Japan so I might as well join and visit life outside of USA. This trip isn’t guaranteed. We need 10 people to go.

Oh nice dude, good luck with getting that together. I’ve always wanted to go myself just to check things out.

So who’s going to be at Next-Level today?

I know 3 people already posted to the Springfield, MO Fighting Game Community Facebook Page to confirm they’ll be there and I plan on going. Who else?

EDIT: Sang: I hope it works out so you get to visit Japan. I’ve daydreamed about living there for one year (no more, no less), but that’s not feasible with a house, an employed wife, and a small child. :slight_smile:

JUST INCASE YOU GUYS WANT TO DROP ON BY

GGs all around at Next-Level today. Those Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Dan vs. Dan matches were epic.

I’ll try to remember to bring my HDMI cable next time and I’ll set up my laptop on a HDTV if one’s available (and, of course, if I’m able to be there) next week.

It’s that time again! Go sell your MVC3 somewhere for store credit while it still has value!

Ahhh yeah. Ready for some Ultimate Mahvel :smiley:

Anybody find a copy of UMVC3 yet?

Mine shipped today. Won’t be here until Thursday. Can’t wait.

Got my 360 copy coming in today, PS3 copy should be in on the 16th.

Just now getting ready to go to sleep after picking my copy up at the Assassin’s Creed midnight launch :P. Ultimate is too good. I may not go to bed after all.

Early thoughts:

  1. New Cap is amazing. If he’s not up there in tiers with at least Spencer and the like this time around, I’ll eat my non-existant hat.

  2. Doc Strange is gonna be a threat. My only complaint is that I dons 't care for some of his normals and the Bolts aren’t as good as they could be.

  3. Strider is NOT EASY. AT ALL. You get touched, you die. Period. And unless you can afford to burn Ragnarok, you’ll have to open them up at least twice to kill, at least as far as my combo prowess extends. He’s not bad by any means, but this really reaffirms my thinking that Ouroborous should be a Lv. 1.

  4. Vergil is already making me salty.
    .

  5. Phoenix is still good, to me at least. She’s no longer a win button with 5 bars and XF, but making a team around her still seems completely viable.

  6. Once people get Phoenix Wright down… FML. Same to Rocket Raccoon.

Picked up my copy last night. Been testing Vergil, Doom, Dante. Still getting used to the entire game myself. Still just finding characters that I’d like to actually play.

Also, I don’t think Strider is a Point character, really. With his health and Meter Requirements, I think he’d be best as Anchor.

Fucking Best Buy. Another pre-order failure. Maybe up to a week wait of Xbox360 UMVC3. No compensation, won’t return funds. Motherfuckers.
