UCD MUGA thread

I’m gonna be there in a bit.

Alright people lets all meet up for the all night MUGA gaming. I’m going to be the drunk guy.

Nope I’ll be more drunk. LETS MAHVEL BABY!

NOOOO! Freeplay tonight?!

I can’t make it, I have plans with some people.

Hope you guys have fun!

I’m there. I’m sick of losing to Sean and Jack. I gotta step my game up before console.

oh crap. You got to present the coupon at the door to get in. Well, if you guys are there at around 7:40, pray you see me. I will be wearing a beret to make it obvious.

Can’t make it tonight because I spend too much money.

And David - get your ass over here for some motherfuckin’ spaghetti.

34 win streak with Zangief. Suddenly, I feel the Russian power.
Edit: Allen, Jack, you two were seriously drunk? FFFFFF. Do my wins count for nothing?

Garo (sp)? Is that you? For the console, what I’m hoping is that training mode and more free play will improve my execution.

Yeah, freeplay today was nice. Probably the longest time I spent at muga ever and it was making me sleepy near the end. Getting a chance to play that much IV helped me learn a lot. And Sean was definitely on a roll at the beginning.

Yo, if you guys can’t tell it’s me Roy! I am the guy that plays either C. Viper or Chun Li. Thought I drop a hello on here. And crap, looks like I missed out on a fun day on friday.

Friday was fun for sure, although a note to the MU staff who may read this - having to go to the desk to get 3 tokens every time I want to play a match of SF4 is retarded. And “running out” of tokens 2 hours before the event ends is INCREDIBLY retarded, especially after we all payed 10 dollars solely for playing Street Fighter.

just to let y’all know the tentative date for the tournament is this friday 1/24 at 430. im not expecting this to be big, i actually hope that it isnt. this is just to make sure that things go smoothly and as we run more and more tournament down the road we can be able to run bigger ones more efficiently. im not expecting more than 16 people.

and dan, what days will you be in the MU this coming week. will you be there tomorrow? i still need you to teach me how to work the machines. also be sure to leave me the freeplay key on friday. unless you plan on hosting, which i really dont mind.

Hey guys! I don’t know alot of people at MUGA but I’ve been spending alot more time playing SF4 and was just dropping in to say hi. I play alot of Zangief X]

My name’s Huy btw

Even if so I still could not win… weak sauce.

Damn, I would’ve liked to see if Allen and Jack can still see the crossup coming while drunk. Stayed up until 6am with Brandon playing Super Ghouls n’ Ghosts instead :rofl:

Nice to see new names posting. Good stuff.

Jack,

 You can actually blame Capcom for that problem....their inability to allow the slave machine to easily enter test mode prevents us from putting both machines on freeplay. I guess I will drill into the machine sometime this week and add a freeplay button and key.  

As for “running out of tokens” that shouldn’t happen, though we generally give the staff something like 2000-3000 tokens, so a lot of people must have been pocketing them. I’ll talk to the front desk staff about keeping an eye out.

And I hate your Ryu, too much free damage…

Marty, I’ll be there Tuesday and probably Friday during the day. Assuming I don’t get called into the hospital, I will check the buttons prior to your tourney.

I suggest you post official times and details. I still think that you should do a 5 to 10 dollar buy in and split the pot. It is easier and requires less work from the MUGA staff, which means fewer delays.

Finally, I recommend making these tourneys biweeklies/monthlies and run on Thursdays…but you guys can figure out what day works the best. I spoke with the marketing staff and we will eventually have some prizes for the winners as well (not for this one though, they need time to get them printed and whatnot). So I think we could do some sort of ranking system for a grand prize.

Hello All,

I’m new to the area and am interested in what the scene is like up at UCD.

So could one of you please answer these questions for me:

What are you guys playing on, arcade cabinets, consoles, or both?
How large a field of players do your events draw?
What game(s) are currently crowd favorites?
How often do any sort of events or get-togethers happen?
Also, would you consider the play level casual or pro?

Thanks in advance to whom ever takes the time to answer my questions.
Depending on those answers, I may make a trip up from Sacramento,
because from what I can gather there ain’t much going on down here.

Twin Head to Head Cabs with Korean sticks and Korean Buttons. Soon to be Sanwa OBSF-24’s.

We haven’t had any street fighter events yet. Cab is only a few months old. CvS2 and Marvel usually brought about 10 player tourneys.

SF4, MvC2, CvS2, 3s

We’re working on at least monthly, hopefully bi weekly.

Kind of hard to tell. Our best players could probably hang with most of California, and off the top of my head, that’s probably a good 6-8 people at least. They got FADC->Ultra down and our rog players can all land headbutt to ultra easily. Our veteran blanka can FADC blanka balls into FA’s and our gief knows all of his normal ticks and setups. We play every character except el fuerte, akuma, sim, viper and claw at tournament level.
