THE SOUTH WILL RISE AGAIN - The Houston Thread - Texas Showdown May 5-7, 2017

I’m debating that myself, I usually work from now till the evening, and I kinda usually avoid driving there to save cash for things like the tournament next weekend, but I have a stick problem again I have to get sorted out. :confused: So I might go anyway.

Edit: I’m going, see you there hopefully. :slight_smile:

Haha, saw you spreading salt around – making people rage out over Skullgrils. Sorry we didn’t get any matches in – I just never see anyone playing SFxT and I really, REALLY need the practice.

It’s nice to get a good evening of casuals in – gives me a clear outline of things to work on rather than just grinding out EWGF execution all day.

You should’ve! I could only do the same rushdown routines so long before I get tired of it. :x

Haha, I’ll have to practice up and challenge you into figuring out something new. :stuck_out_tongue: I noticed it looks like you’re using the same routine from TS, huh? Have you seen some of the newer stuff people have come up with for Parasoul? I’m thinking of going Cerebella/Ms. Fortune, but getting the hang of using Fortune’s head efficiently might be a little above my pay grade (i.e. general gameplay mind set). I tend to go for more straightforward stuff, gimmickier play mechanics never really suit me.

Yeah, it’s the same for me actually. I hate slightly-complicated stuff, so I forgo it until I seem to need it.

I’ll probably end up learning another two characters in Skullgirls eventually, looking at Painwheel and Valentine atm.

I’m kind of tired of Valentine… I just don’t like her as a character. Painwheel seems solid. I could see you being pretty annoying with Painwheel’s flight cancels, haha.

In other news, was there no Thursday Night Expose last week?

There was, just no tournament. Everyone wanted to wait till Saturday for the TYS tourney at Smiley’s I guess, but even that had a low turnout. There’ll always be people at D&B, just sometimes there’ll be slow days.

So I heard there was a kid coming from australia going to dave and busters expose tomorrow. I might need to show up and see how good he is. Should be interesting to see how well he does in the tournament against some of the best players in the houston video game network facebook group http://www.facebook.com/groups/HoustonVGN/ . Looking forward to seeing the hype XD

Interesting. Wonder what games he plays – I’m seldom excited about these kinds of things, but then again I don’t really idolize people. Will be fun to see him play, though, I guess.

Busy month, but sometime around May I should be making more trips to the Dave and Busters place. Hope it’s still going strong.

Meow.

He was at Monster’s playing Marvel on Tuesday.

What was he playing? KoF? I remember someone making a joke about Jan moving to Australia, but that’s all I heard about it.

Guess I’ll see what he’s all about this evening. I’ll try to practice Skullgirls before I leave the house so we can get some matches in – no promises though, lmao. I have SFxT and SFA3Max on the brain right now, haha.

Reading comprehension fail.

What time does the Marvel tourney start at D&B? I was thinking of going but I don’t think i’ll be there until about 8:45.

From what I hear it normally starts around 8:45 - 9:00pm so you should have time.

Anybody going to be at monsters/pz playing AE tonight? Flying into Houston at 9

Probably Monsters – I believe a lot of players overlap and play Magic, and there’s a midnight release tonight I believe; I’d go but its a 40 minute drive and I’ve got a 5 hour drive tomorrow.

Don’t know about PZ, I never go there… Not a huge fan of the crowd.

Hey guys I’m gonna be driving to Houston tomorrow because my girlfriend has an appointment with M.D. Anderson on Wednesday. Doing the majority of the driving tomorrow, meeting a cousin in Austin and then finishing up on Tuesday. I was wondering if I could hit any of you guys with help around the city or for a small tour after a day of tests. We’re both slightly SOL since we got nobody down there. Any help would be awesome.

I will try to see if anyone is free, a bunch of us just got back from Dallas from the weekend.
