Just as a note, I don’t want to diminish anyone’s skill or the arcade itself. I just personally don’t like MvC2 at Scandia. I (might not be the sticks) can’t play as well. My group of friends still play a lot, but we just play on console at someone’s house (here).
I’d really like to add more people to it, but since we play on the fly, and can’t really set up our own time to inform people we will be there; it makes it kinda shitty for people other than us by not being able to set aside time.
I do like playing with the people at Scandia, other than Stilt (already has a full grasp of the game), I think people there are warming up to it a little more, and really trying to get into it. I’d like to help more by being there, but with the sticks, it’s hard to get Dave, and myself to want to go, but we try as much as possible. I know Stilt doesn’t like console gaming @ strangers, but unless they magically change the sticks, I feel like I have to play scrub–which i am not a fan of playing Cable or Storm/Sentinel/AA-- because I don’t want to even attempt playing a Magneto based team. Not to mention my sent is kinda ass, so fast flying is difficult for me on those sticks.
Again, it’s my suckage, not anyone else, I mean we’re all using the same sticks. I just would like to expand the skill of the players in our local area so not only do we all get better from playing each other, but we actually have each other to play with; alleviating hour long travels. Yes homo.
I went to the Fairfield Tilt, and while I hated those sticks too (seemed to be kinda dense, or stiff for my taste, I like looser sticks), but I was able to play because I could super jump and block. Both issues I have at Scandia due to 360 not registering diagonals well.
Anyway, my only point is I’d like to play with more people, I’m going to talk to my friends, and see if we can’t promise a date that at least one of us will always be there, say every other friday at someones house? If we can’t find a place to play, we can just use Scandia, but again, I’d rather not if I don’t have to.
