The Tampa Thread: Our opinions are strong, but our drinks are stronger

For anybody that doesn’t follow them on Facebook, Sore Thumbs is having a “Free Fridays” thing tomorrow for the first time, you guys should go. Especially if you play Marvel or AE (or maybe even KoF XIII), since I’ll be there with a few people and we’ll all be playing that.

Hittin Sore Thumbs tonight if anyones tryna Marvel. I’ll be there at 6ish.

i’m trying to schedule work trips around FR… it’s never worked in the past, but i have high hopes this year due to some awesome shenanigans.

Also this Sunday at Serenity we’re playing all sorts of crazy shit due to one of my MN friends being in town… Charlie’s bringing Typing of the dead and some keyboards, i’m bringing a Saturn for Saturn bomber man teams and my neo geo home system for Magical Drop 3 and other random crap.

anyone interested in a $5 SCV for St. Pete Showdown on 2/12?

Sunday, February 26: Tournaments for MK9, AE, UMvC, SoulCalibur 5, and possibly KoF XIII. Details at [Feb 26, 2012] AE/UMvC/SC5/MK + KoF13? Tournament (Sore Thumbs' Mission: Komplete) (Tampa, FL)

Tampa Never Sleeps 2 is the night/Morning before… you may want to push out the start time…

I would like to thank majority of Tampa for playing characters I can do some seriously nifty things to. Now I just have to get that shit down.

Hallade told me Tampa Never Sleeps usually ends by 4a. That’s plenty of time to rest and be at the store by 1p for SoulCalibur V. Also, alot of you guys were at Apex, and plan on being at Final Round and CEO. It’s good training for 24-hour pools :slight_smile:

24 hour pools not that bad when its at a major

Hehe…

First Friday addition of St.pete casuals tonight at various bars in St. Pete starting around 8ish at Indy.

Anyone going to sore thumbs today? they are trying a new thing called free friday, where you can come and play any game you want.

$5 tournies are stupid and a waste of time. please raise the pot price for all players. $10 please!

Well for those in south tampa, I talked to the guy at Your Pies and he’s willing to let me hold some tournies. I’m thinking bi-monthly RanBats. Of course we’d give the guy a small venue fee and/or a cut of the pots (who knows, maybe he could discount us some pizzas or something!). Anyone down for it? I for one would love to chow down on some pizza while watching a tournament.

Also I was thinking Umvc3, SF4, and MK but I don’t know what the popular fighters in tampa are. Maybe some tekken and blazblue as well?

EDIT: is there enough of a smash scene here to hold smash tournies as well? Because if so I’ll post on swf as well

You guys too fast I was about to ask uptown thai if i could hold some spicy tournaments

Or PIZZA PRIZE FIGHTER

popular in tampa:
sf4
marvel
kof kinda
sc5 maybe?

isaac knows a bunch of people for mk but I dunno how many are local
for blazblue you’re better off asking on the dustloop florida thread probably

tekken: nope.

That’s sad about tekken, I suck at the game but I really enjoy watching it. What tends to be system of choice? Xbox or ps3?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

360 for most stuff as far as people here are concerned. I dunno about the blazblue/etc guys from dustloop, they might go ps3, at least for now I’m sure they do so they can play extend

if you do any mk playing it’ll most likely be ps3 I think because 360 pad sucks

and I dunno about for soul calibur, might also be more ps3? I haven’t been to casuals for a few weeks and haven’t ever been to sore thumbs so I’m not sure what they do.

Well I’ve got AE and Umvc3, but I’d probably need someone to bring a copy of the others. I was thinking depending on how many people we have and how long we hold it for we could have a 3-5 tournies.

Who would be up for this, I’m suppose to give the owner a rough guess on the head count.

I will only show up if there is alcohol and or Garou…
