Tennessee Thread - Day 1 Ni**a-Ology

Kim Jong Il gotta wear platform shoes to be 4 foot tall

My weight room power level would only be at 9,000 if it weren’t for a daily dose of that Underground Kaaaaaaaaaaang.

We just blasted “Just can’t wait to be King” in the Geek Squad precinct and the managers came back here looking at us weird.

Good shit glad you can come the Tequila is more than welcome but

@Dax: No DONT bring “the goods” to my home please. That is one thing that is not allowed here.

@Mike: Yeah its a grey MLG bag. I figured it was yours I have never seen O with any MLG gear.

It would figure you would find some specific anti Vice teknelogicals. However, until I see Yuri lined up in the second slot I am not too worried. King can handle that annoying dive kicking little girl or at least get her health down to half or less. Then its one touch for the gorilla to see the KO screen. Real talk though you could prolly fuck my day up if you just put Maxima first and Yuri second. Maxima is hard hitting with out bar at the start of the match and if he catches King could do her in. I might have to burn bar as King just to get rid of him. That puts Vice second vs Yuri which I would imagine is a tough match for me especially if Vice comes in with little to no meter. Yuri has FBs, a dash grab and a DP all to keep Vice honest.

What The Smurf !!!? :wtf:

MLG? Like Memphis Light Gas or like Major League Gaming. Whatever the acronym stands for, both things are gay!

Also Sev,
I thought we were bringing Primo’s, Jeffries, and the magic dragon niggah? LOL

Regarding Game Galaxy Tournaments:

I think it would be good for us to have video of our matches;

  1. To have other regional scenes see evidence of our scene, stirring up more competition. Exposure for our scene & arcade.

  2. For analyzing decisions/mistakes/successes postgame, and to have something fun to show to friends. :stuck_out_tongue:

  3. To add a little bit more pressure to these events.

Some suggestions off the top of my head:

For point 1, we could take the videos of just semis and up (top 5) and post them on an “official” YT page for the scene, or for GG (does GG have one?), and put them on the thread and maybe the website. This would be pretty doable, as it only means capping 5 matches, right? (Probably wouldn’t need every match to suit this particular purpose… though if we had them anyway, maybe we’d want them all in a central place too. Thoughts?)

For point 2, we could take the video ourselves and upload them wherever we sit fit, if at all.

Suggestions for getting the vids:

If we don’t have a solution that provides 100% coverage, and you want your matches videotaped, find a buddy that wants them taped too. One of you find a camera/flipcam/phone and cap each others matches. In the case of both playing at the same time, touch base with another pairing and see if you can get coverage. Basically, for everyone that wants their matches taped, we’ve got 50% camera coverage. That should work such that everyone that wants video of their matches will have it. N. Justice, I thought you might be interested in doing this as well… so that’ll be at least one pair :stuck_out_tongue:

Alternately: Cameras + tripods. This would be better quality than handheld. However, I bet it way too crowded to cover 3 stations. Perhaps this is what we could break out at a certain point (semifinals), in which case we’d just need one. I could round this equipment up myself, as a bonus.

Alternate Alternately: We run vid capture setups. Highest quality option, of course, and also provides an easy “in” to streaming (though I don’t see streaming as important as documenting, for our local tourneys). We could cap all 3 or perhaps just 1 station (the one we’d run all the top 5 matches on), and use other methods for the rest of the tourney. I don’t currently have this equipment, but am considering picking some stuff up because it seems like a fun hobby.

I figure if nothing else, let’s hear if anyone else wants matches recorded and we can start with handhelds. It’s better than nothing! If GG is amenable, I will also round up 1 camera + tripod for finals.

Feedback, thoughts? Jason, how do you feel about the above suggestions, would any of them cause issues for the arcade? Whatever we decide to do I’m happy to volunteer my time.

Major league gaming lol. Though if Mike’s bag was for Memphis Light and Gas that would be hilarious.

And no on any of the paraphernalia what you do outside of my house off my property i
sf all you but in the house, its booze for those with ID and food. Though if you get drunk expect keys to be taken and given to the Rottweilers to guard.

The only issue with direct capture setups is having the space and power outlets to do it. I used to run one at our weekly things, and one setup went from two outlets on a strip to 5-6 depending on the capture device. That’s two additional setups we can have for practice versus less play time for capture.

Ok right now it looks to be about 90% ill be attending tourney on the 7th due to floating holiday pay I have accumulated so i’m going to request the 7th off tomorrow so ill be getting paid for that day to go kick it at gg lol!!

If johnny goes he HAS to ride us there and back, no excuses! If not then he will have to ride in woots trunk naked hangover style!
Oh man I can’t wait till the seventh! Too bad I wont get any marvel play or training till the second of january :frowning:

Hey, I’m in North MS (Oxford) and was wondering if the Memphis meetup plays KOF13 ? If so how many people usually go out there for KOF?

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[media=youtube]nhGMGdY6ZLg[/media]

Lately KOF has been like half the set ups honestly. We have anywhere from 5 to 15 dedicated KOF players of varying skill levels that show up at the Wed night gatherings. So if you can make it come on up. My set up is gteed to be KOF so it wont be a case of you driving up to sit there and watch SF.

Sick! I will definitely have to start heading out there after the holidays. Do you guys run it on 360 or PS3?

evil laughing*

The change of that hard knockdown screwed over some Hulk users, because their team relied on it for non-infinite corner combos. It really didn’t affect my team at all.

Cale you already know I am in there. I think there is already a youtube page set up for GG. I’ll check and get back with you on that. We should discuss this soon.

Shit just got real. don’t let Josh navigate. I don’t even want to think about where you will end up if Nutsacks drives while Josh navs…

I woke up saying I don’t want to play marvel today… Then I remember today is patch day :]

Screw you. lol

And where my vids at?

Thought about this earlier - Terry totally has and SFIV hit confirm into super: cr. A x 2 or 3, cr. C, A power wave, SC into Buster Wolf. Love it.
