$0.50 money matches ftw. We should do at least one a week as a main event! :lol:
Good stuff again guys; sorry for the late reply: I was playing BLAZBLUE all day yesterday (and by Yesterday, I mean I only stopped playing around 6am today).
Yeah… I’m trying to learn this game and it admittedly killed my Street Fighter game this week (you mean I CAN’T tech in the air?); I’ll start practicing SF hard once I get to a certain level at BB (I still can’t do wakeup shoryuken in that game…).
In particular, I noticed that I was mashing out safe jump-in Option Select, so that’s a pretty good indicator that it needs to be practiced more…
We’ll be seeing you whenever, man; hit us up again soon!
DAMN, I PROBABLY MISSED A LOT OF GOOD MATCHES…
Yeah, thanks for coming down; hope your friends can make it some time too!
===============
THAT SAID, we need to start paying better attention to the logins starting next week; we need to like know how long people are staying on and make sure that we have 4 people logged in at all times (to keep Blazblue alive, I’m actually going to be using my login towards that, so it’s up to y’all to get the SF setups going).
So, yeah… in order to not waste money (it’d be stupid to get like 8 hours as opposed to a day pass if you’re in the shop playing for more than 6-7 hours), we should do head-counts to ascertain schedules and such.
IN ANY CASE: thanks to everyone who logged in; it’s really helping out our meets and preventing the shop from kicking us out…
It’s probably more expensive for some people (especially if they’re taking BART), but I really appreciate that people have been willing to put time, money and effort into this event; GOOD ON YOU GUYS!
Interestingly, there was so many people this week that we actually ran out of sticks… I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but I may try to acquire one more stick in the future, but I’m not sure yet since it is pretty expensive.
SF4 BAY AREA said that turtling tends to go up during these, but I’m pretty sure that if I ever was in one of these things, I’d still toss out random Machine Gun Blow/Corkscrew Cross when given the opportunity…
===============
EDIT:
Also, since it’s pretty apparent that I don’t eat before going to EU, I guess I can push the meets even earlier: I’m showing up next week at 2:30 PM… I get more value for my day pass that way anyway…
(I actually show up around 2, but I’m saying 2:30 just to be safe)
I want to money match random Dudley next week! :razz:
It’d be like giving you $2, especially considering that I’ve not actually been playing SUPER…
I sure hope I learn Blazblue soon so I can start working on my Dudley and learning a new character (I might go with Rufus… but I’m not sure).
^^ Give Sagat a try, he has a guaranteed DP setup

Seriously, he can compliment Dudley well. Also, I really need to learn the Sagat matchup :lol:
Didn’t you use M. Bison at one time?
Yeah, I tried Bison at one point, but I can’t seem to stop jumping when I use him… still, I think I might pick him up again; don’t know yet, but I would have to study a bunch of videos…
In any case, what I like about Bison is heavy kick; it’s awesome.
That said, apparently, one of my XBOX live friends lives near CONCORD and can bring a bunch of people to EUdemonia for some Blazblue and Super Street Fighter; I like that.
(am sending him a text message about our thread info now…)
I’ve been working on my Rufus as of late; I find he is a nice compliment to my honda since he can deal with Guile, Chun, and I think to a lesser extent Sim, and good god for certain match ups his new ultra is freaking sweet.
Anyway I may be able to come again it all depends if I want to get into a fight with the ball and chain about joining an adult softball league; I have yet to decide if this is a battle I will fight. If don’t join it and she still does it with all our friends I should be good to become a regular.

well yeah sorry for the delay on that vid and i’m also sorry to say that proll wont make to this weeks meet (again) since i will be in Las Vegas this weekend…enjoy!
ps- i bought blazeblue played it once and returned it and now i have a fightstick for TvC. I won’t be playing/learning BBCS.
lol. you couldve done that @ EU.
woot! good stuff!
MY FIGHT MONEY.
That said, yeah, I like that video; good stuff.
(also, again, need to apologize for the lack of posting on my part; still working on that Blazblue game… apparently, I have to practice how to properly do wakeup DP in that game as it’s apparently strict with regards to timing; WTF)
yeah well i’ve played the previous one and it didn’t really like feel fun (for me) and the new one that came out was a lil better but i cant fuck wit it. You gotta be like exact on moves and stuff it jus makes the game feel hella stiff…kinda felt like playin tekken, well jus a lil bit. who knows maybe i’ll pick it up somehow…but for now. It’s all about capcom fightin’ games and maybe SNK…jus maybe…
ps- sorry of the audio of the video…next time i’ll edit it…or somethin’…
So I figured I should post our event here since we are heading out to the EU. Dean gave us the green light, so you guys should check it out.

The game is some seriously complicated shit; I’ve been playing for a week now and I still don’t know what the fuck half the characters do.
The addition of like an air game is overwhelming to me.
I am at a point where I’m annoyed with the game (dropping SUPER and DP inputs makes me salty… inputs for this game are a lot less fucking lenient, even with shortcuts), but it’s likely because I don’t like feeling like a noob all over again; this is a lot less pleasant than SUPER was a few months ago mainly because it feels like I don’t know how to play fighting games again…
I’m hoping that the noob-ness will eventually wear off as I’m finally settled on 1 character (Makoto, who was DLC and I’m brining her with me to the meet this week).
Good stuff; totally there.
Nice. I’ll be there to show support!
Hey, I’m from Hong Kong and on a biz trip to San Fran. Are there SSF4 ppl going tomorrow 8/7? I’m a casual player and would be cool to play a bit while I’m here
Also will there be a stick I can use, I didn’t bring anything along…
Hi! Welcome to the States!
We’ll be there tomorrow, and we usually have enough sticks to share. DKL’s the leader of these sessions and he shows up around 3pm I think. More people start to pour in as the evening progresses. I’ll probably swing by around 4:30-5pm (planning to watch the xanbat monthly tourney stream).
Yeah, I setup at EUDEMONIA around 2-2:30PM tomorrow and stay up till like 10PM; you can feel free to drop in at any time.
All the like pertinent info (such as directions and such) are in the opening post… in particular, what makes this place nice is that it’s ONE BLOCK from the Downtown Berkeley BART station.
Hope to see you tomorrow!
EDIT:
Also, don’t worry too much about sticks…
I have 3 and I lend them out…
That said, actually, we might run short like last week, but we’ll play it by ear…
IN ANY EVENT, yes, I lend out sticks; for the most part, don’t worry about not having one.
EDIT EDIT:
YEAH, if you guys have SUPER for the X-Box, make sure to bring it…
Downtown Berkeley BART station is actually called just Berkeley BART, even though all the timetables, maps and pamphlets say otherwise.
/Protip
Good stuff again today guys!
I didn’t play a lot of SF today (was busy getting salty with dat Blazblue; gotta start getting the DP and ULTRA inputs correct…), but thanks to everyone who showed up!
I think I’mma pick up Guile as soon as I get back to playing SUPER regularly (which needs to happen REALLY soon; I’m falling behind).
In other news, ANIME NETWORK makes me rage because they don’t accept DISCOVER for the stupid premium service that allows me to watch High School of the Dead; the rest of my night has been officially ruined.
