Notes: Because I don’t have a car and There’s quite a bit of equipment to bring, I will only be providing ONE stick and TWO PSX/PS2 adapters during these gatherings.If you have PSX/PS2 or DB-15 Sticks,** please bring them.**
I’d be willing to bring two sticks if someone is willing to drive me from school, back home, and then back again to the meeting place =p

** C’omn russell, that’s B.S. You’ve seen from gathering’s at A&C that event the supergun is hardly a distraction even during casuals, much less a tourney.**
RANBATS

UThe Story
Spoiler
For the past 3 years the ST/HDR community here has dwindled down to a point where I can count the number of players on my fingers.
Something had to be done about it. So I’d been saving up and putting quite a bit of work, time and money getting a supergun setup to gain interest. Even one or 2 extra players who stick to the game would be worth it to me.
Last Wednesday was the first time I brought it to a populated fight night. I didn’t know what to expect. For the first appearance, again I would have been happy with just 1 or 2 new people playing on the cab. But it was much better than that. I had PMed all the ST heads still around. (not a difficult task, as I said, I could count them on my fingers) about this night and All but one showed up. There was a huge reaction from the OGs at the gathering. Apparently they hadn’t seen these people for years! (This had not occured to me, I thought they all moved on to the newer games) A nice reunion and chance for those people to catch up.
The beginning of the night was slow, just us mashing on the supergun for the first hour or so. Then we suddenly got 2 or 3 more people. New faces! … Pretty modest but I was happy with it. Didn’t expect much more. Then the end of the tournament came and it hit me. People wern’t playing on the cab cuz they were worried about their tournament! They were gonna do casuals on their OWN game to stay warm! because once the Tournament ended there was a Huge rush of players to the ST Supergun!
Many of the OGs who stopped playing admitted again infront of everyone ST is the BEST game! and we ended up staying about an hour past closing until someone (not going to mention names) got mad and kicked us out. and afterwards EVERYONE who tried the game for the first time said it was REALLY fun nobody was disappointed.
After that experience I think I’m going to take my supergun to places about once a month. I’ll be making posts about my “supergun tour” here so you’ll know where to find it next. Right now I’m thinking A&C and Heroes world mostly. And Of course I’ll still be making posts in those particular threads and facebook pages in the Canada subforums as well.
Lets bring ST back to Toronto, show these newbies WHAT made the community and WHY this is the BEST game!
Also share your love of the game and your stories here!
