well they do a fine job of not letting people know about it. 30th is ecc time but when do these peeps gather otherwise? are u coming to danbury?
Hey Sunny are you back for the summer?
Team Danbury, ECC May 26-29
I’m trying to get people commited. So far I’ve got T-waters and Raumad, with cywarrior and russo possibly.
yo whatsup Josh…im back in CT not just for the summer but for good…i havent touched a fighting game for like 9 months until a few days ago when I went to smiles…
I used to go to Danbury but I stopped going there tho…its too far of a drive for me…
You should come to one of the gatherings before ECC… if you want to that is. I haven’t been playing either lately but Slash and ECC got me pumped!
who is down for a tourney at whats your game in bridgeport?
I talked with a owner and things are being worked out but what we would be looking at
3s(arcade)
ggxxSLASH(console)
mvc2(console)
this would be for before ecc next week or the week after for all of ct can brush up if ppl are interested post up
Fucking CT is alive again!
Listen up, I’m unemployed and I’m bored out of my mind. I’m down anytime to play ANY Capcom fighter, but keep Slash away from me, that shit is gay.
I heard people have been playing at Whats Your Game, wtf why did nobody tell me. I’m in Bridgeport a few times a week anyway. I’m also down to go to these “gatherings” that people are telling me about, and also to have people come over my place to play if they want. I live in New Haven a few blocks away from all the clubs.
SO WHAT IS UP???
YO: Here’s the thread for the What’s Your Game tournament in Bridgeport, CT.
Mah Nigga DSP!
ill be willing to practice some st with you. or any sf is fine. i bet john “sniperjesus aka team 3d hunter” would be good for some sf also.
mvc1
Jester’s Game Land has been closed for years.
Yea guys, we’re gonna try to throw a little console party type thing at What’s Your Game today.
3S will be on cabinet = 50c/play
The sticks will be working, as both the sticks kind of shorted out last night (most play they probably got in like 2.5 years) but Neil (the owner) is going to replace all the buttons and both sticks today.
MvC2 and GGS will be on console with sticks there to play on. Console will be a $5 cover charge, play all you want all night. So if you haven’t had a chance to play slash yet or want to get some practice in and dont have a chance, here is your chance to play.
If we get enough people we will maybe try to throw a little tournament or a 2 man Team tourney type deal. Just something to get everyone together and playing and shit.
Phil will be there I’m assuming since the 3S cabinet will be fixed.
And uh, I guess that’s it. Im just gonna post this in the tournament thread too.
As for as time, get there around 5:00-5:30 or something, me and Walter will probably be there around then. Ill call Phil in a little bit if he isn’t on IRC.
I’ll be there, I hope Neil fixes the 3s controls…
Ok I just got back from whats your game the sticks and buttons on the 3s cab have been replaced and its works pefectly[ I can do kara palm geneijin on both sides no issues) We will also have mvc2(dc) and slash(ps2) on console 5 dollar cover charge play all night. Come on down dont let whats your game close!
There will be at least 1-2 MvC2 setups because I’m bringing my stuff too, also I hope to get some CvS2 or possibly Hyper Street Fighter Anniversary Edition in there at some point.
IF YOU ARE NOT BUSY TONIGHT AND YOU SUPPORT THE GAMING SCENE, GET YOUR BUTT TO BRIDGEPORT TONIGHT! DONT BE A HOMO!
Damn Phil whats with you trying to prove masculinity, every damn post I read has homo in it.
Don’t be hatin on my game just because you cant’ play it.
If anyone is up to play today at whats your game same setup as yesterday console and 3s/arcade it will be the same as yesterday 5 cover charge and I’ll even throw in 2 dollars in tokens so if anyone wants to play tonight just post in here and let me know
I might stop by again tonight, hopefully more ppl show up.
Unfortunately CT is full of unreliable gamers. Case in point: Everybody shows up at What’s Your Game at 10:30pm and nobody wants to pay to play. Instead, everyone convinces me to leave and we go back to my apartment in New Haven and play for free until 8am. I’m not complaining, I needed the practice, but the fact of the matter is that very few gamers are serious enough about SF anymore to care.
Yet, if it’s FREE they’ll play all friggin’ night.
As much as I’d love to get things going again, I don’t see it happening. Having a few console setups at What’s Your Game is nice, but I really doubt that Neil (the owner) is going to end up making any money on it, or that anyone will consistently start coming to play 3s on that cabinet either. It’s great that he fixed it, but with consoles that you can play on FOR FREE, why would anybody pay to play?
Plus you’re forgetting the biggest problem: CT is, and always has been, primarily MvC1/MvC2 players. Very few people in the state are willing to try anything new. In fact, the ONLY players here who have even tried to play other games are myself, Walter, Ryan, Dru, Tony Barnage, James Austin, and Josh. And of course Nestor when he considered himself from CT. Since 80% of that list lives over an hour from What’s Your Game, and we ALL own PS2s, I doubt that we’re going to get anything going without having an MvC2 cabinet there.
The reason people eventually stopped going to What’s Your Game wasn’t because the arcade scene was dying, but because Neil stopped having people repair the MvC2 machine. EVERY time we came in it was broken, so we had nothing to do. Neil’s major problem is that he’s wishy-washy…at one point he was gung-ho for getting every single fighting game, then he didn’t want to buy anything. At the time of Super Street Fighter II/Super Turbo he wasn’t buying anything at all (that’s why What’s Your Game never had those machines), but then he buys massive quantities of Mortal Kombat, Killer Instinct, and other stuff. Then again, when CvS1 came out, he took forever to get it and then fell victim to it being one of the worst fighting games in history. He then bought Dead or Alive 2 for some god-awful reason and lost a lot of money on that.
What’s Your Game finally fell off when Neil bought SvC. Nobody told him to, but he just did. I tried to get people to start coming again, so we could go between MvC2 and SvC, and it worked for a couple of weeks. But then we got tired of the shittyness of SvC and MvC2 never worked, so we gave up and stopped going. That was well over a year ago.
The only way that What’s Your Game is going to get stuff going again, is to get one or more QUALITY MvC2 cabs in there. Once you have that, and you’re making steady weekend income on them, and you KEEP THE CONTROLS WORKING, we can branch out and have events like the $5 console casuals, weekend tournaments, etc. But without having that MvC2 staple present, I really doubt anybody is going to show up for anything.
Oh yeah, and Guilty Gear IS gay. A bunch of half-naked men running around in Cosplay outfits fighting in retarded fashion, and anime fanboys like it because of the Japanese-animation style, and not for the gameplay. Pretty gay if you ask me. Besides, it’s just a beefed up version of MvC1 with too many moves.
