Utah Thread: Arcade Edition @ GameGrid

Teams sound way fun to me. Though there may end up being lots of those guile video’s where he just takes out the whole team.

Agree! I would love to do it but thing is, will Andy allow it?

BTW Andy. You declined my SF4 so now I bring you a new one. This is one that fits in your field so you have the upright advantage. I am challenging you to a $25 dollar Dr. Mario MM.

  1. I’ll probably run teams after ranbat season if you guys really want.
  2. Not sure if you guys really familiar with how EVO/SBO/ranbats run teams, but the whole point is that teams don’t use the same character.

I might have casuals, not sure though. Depends on how tired I am and if anyone shows interest.

No casuals for me this week…I need to take a break from it. Finals coming up.

I’m down. Keep me/us posted.

Ya im down too andy text me if you do

pleeeaaase do it i hate your elf mixup bullshit

Guys, remember, it’s the person, not the character. :slight_smile:

Says Sagat

im rethinking my character switch i just played thomas on xbl with my shitty ryu and got destroyed he did his gay wall jump and i tried to run like 3 times lol

You’ll do that anytime you want to switch no matter what character you switch to. You just get in habit of it and your reflexes tell you that.

Not that I’m trying to convince you either way, honestly, really good Ryu’s annoy me just as bad as really good Fuertes.

Andy Im down for casuals this week, let me know when and where if you guys do! ;O

no casuals for me, i got band practice tonight

Yo,

Well guys, I’m not sure if you guys are having as much fun as me. But this is amazing. Every time we hold these ranbats, it gets more hype. For the guys who grew up in arcades such as Nickelcade, Tilt, The u of u arcade, 49th Galleria and if you are a true baller: Fun Fever, this brings back alot of memories.

I realize how fun ppl are having after talking with Phil last night who said, “Yo I really can’t wait until the next one.”

Well, I was thinking. . .is this gonna be a scene that’s gonna die out. Kelly told me about how they had a Tekken scene that no longer exists, and the Bleyls told me about a CVS2 scene back in the day.

However, I don’t think this scene is read to die out any time soon. This game is STARTING to be fun for me. We got more and more ppl every week. Pad players buying sticks, ppl saving up for EVO, ppl making the trek from miles away. Hell some Las Vegas players are thinking about driving up here to come to ranbats.

This is all made possible because of you losers showing up and just playing and having fun.

Well, I’m happy to announce something VERY IMPORTANT:

"hadouken, that is realistic. As you can see from the pics, everything is rather chaotic. Me and my crew have been working until after 1 am every night getting things going, and we’re putting in the power this week and finishing the tables/network. Thanks for stalling as long as you could, plan to use the place on the 23rd, if nothing else, my son and I will be there with you. "

The scene is REAL. GET HYPE!

Jesus christ I’m gonna break something. People play lower tiers because they feel stupid playing an easymode character. Then we just get more frustrated when we lose to easymode homo’s who aren’t even that good just win doing lariets all day.

I would love to smash my hand into something right now.

I can recommend a few things…legs, tables, joysticks…tables are probably best from a “non-breakage” standpoint, plus it’s a good tactile sensation. Not a lot of give, smooth surface, able to withstand multiple beatings. I couldn’t recommend anything made of particle board, though. Gotta go with some old-world craftsmanship for the lasting “smash-for-your-buck” value. Oak…solid, durable wood. It gets 2 angry fists from me.

Yeah, I don’t think casuals are going to happen for me tonight. Been tired as hell today, and tomorrow I’m busy. Would probably be down for something Thursday if you want to Andy, but without the bro rape this time.

Andy, that’s gonna be awesome, not to mention easier to reach than your house, though I will miss the bathroom doorknob. Thanks for setting that up; we’ll have a Final Round or some major tournament before you know it.

Were there any pics of the inside? This should probably go to the blog, too.

Of course it will die out. But only if it continues to revolve around a single game. There’s plenty of momentum behind SFIV to really keep a scene thriving at least through the year, maybe through the next. But I say that after this ranbat season, let’s try to diversify a little bit. KOFXII will likely get some interest, as well as BlazBlue (or whatever it’s called).

Personally, I’d like to see some 3S business go down. Maybe even some CvS2 or MvC2 (hell, MvC3 is around the corner, too). I mean, there’s obviously no rush. But after this ranbat season, we should try to gauge interest among other games and see what else we can pull off.

I like to think of it as a “fighting game scene”, and not so much a “SFIV scene”. Too many good games, both old and new.

lolz at the scene dieing anytime soon, this shit is barely getting started, but yeah, we should offer more fighting games to keep things diverse, these ranbats are growing each time, who knows, maybe we might attract people from all over the states to our tourneys… One thing is for sure, there is NO ranbats out there as HYPE as ours, none
