You can handle Friday evenings, then? I’m holding the spot we used last time as ideal, as it has much a better setup to play on. Can’t promise the location on Saturdays, though. Not unless people are wanting to play earlier.
Alternatively, while we’re looking at far less impressive setups on this end, I’ve got the space to host. We can get multiple consoles running, though on smaller televisions. We can also always combine the two; early hours at Vince’s, and the rest over here.
If anyone’s got a preference or further alternatives, let me know. Otherwise, I’d say we’re looking at this coming or the following Friday, pending location. Should know in the next couple of days. I’ll keep you posted.
yea friday evenings are good for me. usually after 6pm
FAIGHT: Here is the pic i chose for my stick…
Is there any way, you can make sure that Rukia (char in pic) shows up and isnt covered up too much. I realize that is easier said then done…but since Rukia is the main thing in the pic id like her to show up fairly well if possible.
Also, will it be simple to swap future pics on that thing?
Other then the pics, hows the rest of the stick going?
Let me know if you need anything else.
Bear Bones: I’ll be at C3/OMIAthis weekend. You guys are welcome to tag along if you want a ride, I’ll be leaving Friday and coming back either Sunday night or Monday morning (most likely Sunday night after OMIA). I work nights so I sleep days, as an FYI.
Muffin: Stick is coming along nicely, if only the weather would agree with me. The stained sticks are ready to be put together, yours needs at least one more coat of paint before I can put poly on it. I plan to have it done before this weekend. I apologize for the delay but the weather hasn’t been agreeable for painting/poly’ing.
Everything else is ready to go. Buttons, pads, etc. They just need to be thrown in the box and hooked up, which only takes an hour or two.

THE MUFFIN MAN: Let me know if you want me to add/change anything. I had to blow up the image a bit to fit the 300dpi resolution print Faight and I use for sticks. The red circles are just where they buttons will go, so they won’t show on the final stick product.
Awesome man. Nah i completely understand. dont worry about it.
i hope im not sounding pushy or anything…i dont mean to be if i am. im just curious and excited is all :wgrin:
Also, use the pic Masey did up for me if you dont mind.
Let me know when you have it ready…im so excited ill be outta my house in a hot minute once you tell me its done. lol
Awesome Bro! thanks for that. i like it alot
thanks a bunch
Cool, cool. That works out, anyway. Right now we’re calling it next Saturday [4/4]. Same location, similar time, fewer no-shows. Last time we had an issue with a few deceptive motherfuckers not showing, but they should be there next week.
Feel free to bring anyone else along, too. Even if they’re not looking to play, I think we’ve got all the social grace necessary to keep guests entertained. The more the merrier, and all that jazz.
Just a heads up guys I will be sending out an email to the two managers that could make Best Buy a tournament venue tomorrow.
I’ve talked to them about it before, and they seemed really intrigued by it. If we get the OK go from the managers all we need is permission from corporate office.
If this does happen however it won’t be just SFIV, there will be other games since Morgantown doesn’t have the fighting game population to support a strict SFIV tournament.
I believe games that were tossed around were Halo 3, Left4Dead, Guitar Hero/Rock Band and maybe some others I forgot about.
That all sounds good to me. Though I’m not a huge fan of the Halo series, I used to play it competitively for lack of any other scene in town. We know more than a handful of guys who’d show up for that, without fail (and most would sign up for SFIV, if only at first out of nostalgia). And we still play Left4Dead and Rock Band nearly every weekend.
First of all
FAIGHT:
How was the tourney(s)?
good comp? good turnout?
What did you place?
Also, you know i gotta ask how the stick is doing? lol (im so patient hehe)
Tourney was huge. Like 28 three man teams? I spent most of it moddings ticks.
Comp was strong. I got a lot of games in with Ramza (Eric Kim) whos team placed 1st in the teams tourney.
100+ people is a damn good turnout.
I didn’t play in the teams tourney (was busy doing 360+PS3 mods to sticks).
I placed 17th at the Sunday tournament (33 people, I went 1-2).
Your stick is on haitus, I ordered the wrong mounting plates for the actual stick itself. I’m trying to see if I can’t scrounge one up so I can get it mounted and out to you. This was totally my bad, I should have realized earlier. I think I have a spare mounting plate around here somewhere, I just have to find it.
awesome wow alot of ppl showed up. thats crazy
but its great to see how many ppl are into this game
its all good with the stick man. thats stuff happens. no biggie
so in the end whats the damage (aka how much i owe you)?
i get paid on the 10th next anyways, so no rush now lol
let me know
Stopped by Gamestop (Univ. Town Center) earlier and talked to the manager about hosting tournaments there, whether temporarily or otherwise. He said he was cool with it, and just had to let his district manager know it was going down after we work out the details. Only problem, he said, was the number of TVs they could get on their own, but if we were willing to haul our own and put in most of the legwork, that’s solved.
Told him I’d run it by you guys and get back to him within the next few days, so let me know your thoughts.
Most computer monitors these days do HDMI in.
Just sayin.
It’s become a new trend at some tourneys. A decent 24" monitor weighs next to nothing and you can cart a bunch around. Only issue then is hooking up speakers.
Are you guys doing anything this weekend? I’ve been modding sticks and waiting on parts all weekend and I could go for some games.
Muffin: I’ll get you your stick ASAP. I apologize for the delay.
Monitors, televisions; it’s all good. Seems like so long as we’re willing to organize and do a bulk of the work, he’s cool with providing the venue. He also seemed fairly confident that, in addition to whatever we might provide (entry fee splits, sticks/pads, whatever), the Gamestop could offer prizes to winners.
We’re thinking casuals on Saturday. Have to make sure Vince is still cool to host, but I’m not seeing a problem. I’ll post up tomorrow to confirm.
Cool, if he’s not cool I guess we can do it at my place, 46" HDTV, and a 32" HDTV in the other room we can drag out, and I can toss another console on to my monitor if I can get speakers set up. I’ll look in to how to do that tonight.
Faight: He’s cool if we can start around 5pm. A couple of us will be there by then, so it’s not a problem if anyone’s needing to show up later than that. Not sure how late he’s willing to run, though; I think he’s wanting to drink later on in the night. If he’s going downtown to do that, chances are he’s not going to care if we use the spot while he’s gone. If they drink in, we might need to move it over to my place; no problem here, other than the dated setups.
Anyone who’s planning to show - and something close to everyone would be preferable - give me a call (or post up here if you need the number) when you’re heading out, and/or need directions.
ill ask faight for directions. i dont get off from work until 6 so…
Fortunatley we ordered a new printer the other week. Unfortunately it’s printing splotchy on the special ordered paper we have for the sticks. im going to try and get off early to see if icant get canon on the phone to see why the printing is off.
