The 707 Sonoma County Thread

David (no forum name) and myself (anthony), maybe Sam, will be at scandia tonight, either at 5 or a bit before.

instead of money matches if anyone has any oxy and want to play pill matches please feel free to bring them.

I’ll money match on 3rd Strike next time you guys come.

Don’t play 3S really, not sure I’m that much of a gambler that I chance it.

what you know about that tropical thiiiiiiiz drank???

OK, Friday was cool. This next one should be better. Maybe we should stick to Fridays?

Of course, it’s evident that meeting once a week won’t result in the rapid bloom of skills that people want. If anyone is reeally serious about making conspicuously noticable strides, you’ll have to be playing a few times a week to really get the phat improvements.

I know thetre are a lot of things that I need to have second nature that I have to really think about in matches. I’d like to get those things to be nigh automatic. I could also work on staying focused and to do that, I need to play more so I can learn not to get razzed by those unexpected tactics or turn of events or when the match is nate-ready (yuck).

IOW, we need to play more so lets figure ou how that’s going to happen. I’m willing to open my house up for casual play nearly every evening. The only problem is joystickery. I only have one.

Well, I was thinking about picking up one of those Generic Hori Sticks for the 360, but that won’t solve our PS2 stick problem. If someone else is willing to pick up a Hori 360 stick, we could migrate our SF:AC matches over to the 360 and prolly get some intense VF5 Action too. Plus, the 360 stick will work on PCs… GGPO anyone?

Vampire Savior is now up at scandia! go play it, 1 token, :slight_smile: me and the tech chris and a few others were playing, i was on the machine for over 2 hours, thank you ggpo. new buttons and new sticks. it is in the old 3s cabinet.
Marvel 1 is at scandia till friday, he borrowed it from a friend and he is going to return it. but once he sells tekken 5, which could be in the next couple weeks, a marvel board will be ordered.

Vampire Savior? Nice! Hopefully it’s stick around for a while.

Any word on when CVS2 will be back?

When we can do rekkas.

Please learn rekkas asap. I wanna play CvS2 again.

regarding Cvs2, something melted on the last machine it was in, thats why it had to be put in the guilty gear machine. however, he ordered the part last week, so it could be up as early as tonight. shoshoshoshoshoshoshoshoshoshoshoshosho

I wonder if anyone is down to meet at my place later tonight. Perhaps after Scandia? I’ll have to see what’s going down…

i don’t i think i can make it… no problem

Yeah, I should probably start planning this crap earlier in the week. Friday’s don’t even work that well for me since I work every other Saturday. I might start alternating Wednesdays and Fridays. Saturdays would work well and I wouldn’t have to alternate that. What works well for everyone?

I would say thursdays and fridays. I can’t make this friday because of a trip to the snow, but otherwise I’m down.

Fridays/Weekends are 50/50 for me most of the time. My girlfriend lives in Santa Cruz, so I am either there or staying here in Marin (or Sonoma).

It’ll definitely help to plan them ahead of time just so people can see if they are available.

Props to Nick for putting these in-houses together.

My friend and I have a few MAS sticks for the DC and the multi-pack game rom (SF3:3S, CvS2, MvC2, and a few extras). I doubt we could do it every week, but we might be able to stop by sometime. A few of us might even be willing to attempt and learn 3S.

When we got into the scene 3S was still kinda a cult game. It wasn’t until after the 5v5 Japan v USA @ evo2k2 that people really started to play 3S. We started with MvC2, and only myself moved to CvS2, but Sam and Chiao still attempt to play it now and then.

I’d really like to get a strong group of players up here in Sonoma. I love the games, just don’t have the energy to travel all over the south and east bay for competition anymore.

EDIT: on a side note, who is everyone here? I remember everyone from the tournament, but am unaware of your forum names. I usually see Tony, and his friend (who I think is Ibuki4life) at Scandia, and a few others but not as often.

Well, the plan is to set aside a COUPLE of days a week (because one isn’t enough for people who really want to get in the practice) to get this on. I’m still trying to figure out the best days.

I’m thinking one day with a short evening and then one with a good stretch. MOst likely Saturday.

Problem is, while a lot of us want to get serious, we still all have the urge to maintain some sort of life and thus find ourselves busy a lot. So the plan would be to either somehow incorporate these meetings into that “life” or to simply accept that we reallly don’t want to make that level of dedication, which isn’t a bad thing as i’ve been wanting to learn this shiznoz since 02 and haven’t made the dedications necessary.

Essentially, the plan is to at least get 2 days with 4 consist attendees so I can just expect it and kind of leave the door open. People could just call or text aforehand to make sure something is going down and then swing by.

Maybe Rivival will learn to leave his joysticks at my place.

Sounds like CVS2 is in order. I will play it for fun, but high level CVS2 is too goofy for me, so I don’t know how serious i’ll get. When you guys get into the RCing and whatnot is probably when i’ll start to fade.

TS seems to be either embraced or a potential embracement for everyone.

Should take a few weeks to get something consistent down, but we’ll get SOMETHING going for Sonoma county.

Looks like you guys have some good stuff going on. Hopefully I can get in on this when I get back. See you guys in 2 weeks!

I wouldn’t mind getting in some games tonight, if anyone is down. I’m going to see what Rivival has going on and Shake is lazy and thus will probably be sitting on his computer whilest talking to foreign girls all day.

If anyone is down for some games, hit me up.
