the abel honda match is awesome! seems like we both have a lot of options. plus the fact that we both can command throw makes for some really funny mindgames!
jay you are training me good in the chun matchup. i hope you are getting the same benefit. hope you run into a honda in your next tourney.
doug i hate the fei long matchup. lol but still some epic games. sometimes my 2 options against your 10 works out when you’re not paying attention…
ggs to all, that was a stupid dope session
oh man, if you guys had a HDR or ST cab, I would move across the street
well technically the sanwa cab is an hdr cab. but there’s only 2 guys around here that play it unfortunately.
Wednesday is mostly SF4 i do have 2 cabinets with arcade sticks one happ digital controls and one with the full Sanwa setup both with xbox 360’s in them and one stand alone 360 we stream sf4 from. I am more then willing to start up another day of the week for games like HDR. Just message me if your serious about this and maybe the crew here will help with advertising HDR and help you get people to show up you never know maybe one day starbase will be needing a waiting list one day lol …

Frankie - Only because I have the matchup advantage.
Hooman - I’m definitely getting the Honda matchup well. Not too sure about the Rufus matchup though.
Doug - You’re banned from Marin again.
I have to look more into that matchup. I know it’s in Chun favor, but I’m unaware of more than why other than her normals stuff Abel’s jump-ins/random rolls etc. She can pretty much keep him out.
Yo Arthur REAL TALK, are you looking/trying to get better at SFIV? If not, I’ll stop giving you shit like I did last night.
the constant cabinet streaming isn’t actually as ridiculous as one would think. the new san mateo arcade has been planning to do it for awhile now.
I think it is because it’d be 24/7 streaming either black screen or indestructible cept on Wednesdays and whatever random days we decide to come in.
OMG LOL!
yea i’m all for it if there was something to stream. but hey, if streaming an empty arcade will get more people to come then why not?
If he’s serious, I’m serious. =) We have a lot more HDR cats here in the city that will be interested.
I would come for HDR so long as Wednesdays stays focused on SF4 and soon SSF4. If anything I recommend Mondays for HDR.
Where is the New arcade in San Mateo?!?
I like how you put this, bro. And it’s damn true. The Peninsula (650/415) scene has died down quite a bit since the inception of SFIV, and now the players left are driving an HOUR in any which direction to get to gatherings. As of late, things are kinda getting a bit more active with stuff like Haunts vs. the World gatherings and the random get-togethers. It’s up to each and every member to contribute what they can to their scene, and then some.
In the same vein, part of this is the reason why I do my best to make HDR gatherings happen. Aside from a select few people who I can gladly call “friends”, a whole lot of Street Fighter players got lazy about HD Remix. What’s funny is that HDR brought in the second most entries at this past EVO, yet there just aren’t that many players in the scene for this game.
If this happens, can probably make it one of these Monday nights. But not to keep SFIV outta the loop, it would be cool just to play all you guys at both games, although I know how hard it is myself to dedicate toooo many days a week to playing Street Fighter. I remember Demon Los and Hooman talking about Starbase since that North Bay tourney happened on the night of the last Pacquiao fight. Fun times.
LOL! c,mon now. not all middle-easterns look alike!
Fun times indeed! I think an HDR night is a good idea. Anything that gets people out and into the arcade is great. I would probably come down to support even though I don’t play it anymore. Love knee-bash loops.
Edit: more ways to [media=youtube]o1oZsRBjmC0"[/media] at work!
I think Monday is a good day to start we don’t have to do it tonight though since most people cant come on short notice.
We started the SFIV nights with just 5 people like the movie said if you build it they will come or i hope so haha
Rules for Monday would be the same as the ones for Wednesday $5 for 8pm to 12pm and i usually stay to 3am if people contact me ahead of time and ask its not that hard to do just call Starbase
*** seems that its bobs xbox has it and its not here so if some one shows up pick me up a $20 xbox live point card lol ill pay ya back lol
Thanks Thrust. I feel ya. As I mentioned in that post, the 707 Sonoma Scene and the small/upcoming Marin Scene pretty much died out for a really long time. For a while we had Rival and Nick (Dark Symphony) at our head and a large group of players following suit. Mix in various reasons why scenes die off (one of which you mentioned…laziness) and 707 North Bay went awfully quiet for a really long time. It got so bad that the remaining few of us were making long drives to MGL just to get some competition in MVC2 and CVS2. This is why I’m so excited to see where it is now, with so many new players and so many of the existing players upping their game. Our area is pretty far off from all the hype that goes down at MGL, SVGL and so on, so we are at a little disadvantage. Now though, with our own get togethers, with lots of our players leveling up and learning the matchups, we’ll be even more of competition to the rest of the Bay.
I remember the Peninsula having lots of get togethers. It wasn’t that long ago right that Keystone Light was up and popping and lots of guys from the 415 Penn were throwing get togethers when KSL had to shut down shop. It’s been quiet lately. Shit to be perfectly honest, watching the stream of KSL and seeing Rival play Seth was the reason I originally picked him up in the first place.
If someone actually showed me how to play HDR correctly, I’d probably play it hahaha
LOL@ Los…dude you are going to have SF wherever you go now.
what up mike! as if we didnt have enough bisons in our stable you should roll through man. me and jeff (fakeshakes) are going this wednesday.
