Wichita, KS: Pass the salt please, we are in there

Who’s Ian? And yes, stop training yourself to use d4,4 please :china:

Just got numbers, will text you guys sometime. Looking forward to meeting some of the people here sometime soon :slight_smile:

Anybody planning to go to Springfield? Let me know if I should get a room or try to find someone else to split one with.

Petro, here’s the thread for the Oct 24th SSBB Tournament

http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=245683

Hello, Wichita!

My name is Jon (you may call me Champoo) and I’ve lived in Wichita since I was in third grade. I am now 20 years old and a student at Butler CC.

I frequented Aladdin’s Castle in Towne East Mall quite often during my sophomore year of high school. I would just play DDR all the time, but I always saw people playing Soul Caliber and such. When I was a kid I had Street Fighter 2 for the SNES but I never got to play it because all of my older cousins would hog the controllers and wipe the floor with me if I even dared tried to play against them. Something deep down inside of me always wanted to learn how to be good at fighting games. It was probably my 6 year old self wanting revenge against my cousins. Again and again I told myself I’d go and learn how to play fighting games, but never did.

When I saw that Street Fighter 4 was coming to the consoles I was excited because I would finally be able to learn how to play Street Fighter without having my older cousins and uncles destroying me and my spirit to play. I decided to find every resource I could to help me get better at the game, from finding this site, to watching and analyzing Youtube videos, etc (I started this a week ago). I do find the game fun, and I want to find people who share this passion and willingness to learn (believe me, I am the definition of noob when it comes to how good I am at SF4). I am so glad that this thread was here, and I’m sorry for having to write a lengthy story that might be a waste of your time, but I wanted you guys to get to know me a little bit. Because I’m starved for the arcade scene ever since Aladdin’s Castle went out of business, and I have no friends that are willing to play Street Fighter with me (they’d rather play Halo 3 or COD4).

Thank you for listening (?) to my somewhat lame story.

I’d better hop on this train while it’s uh…Still boarding? Some shiz like that.

Anyway, name’s DJ and usually over Andy’s for his hostings. Would be interested in meeting new people to play, the only game I really play is BlazBlue, but I’m looking to get back into Tekken (Haven’t played since Aladdin’s Castle blew up) among others.

Send me a PM for information or you can get it from Andy.

“Ahhhh Fresh Meat.”

:D~~~

AFFINITY-

           good lookin on the flyer, but on the ps3 side i need to make some changes. we need to drop blaze blue. only the k.c. crew play it. add 

marvel vs capcom 2. im getting tons of requests for it.
so the ps3 line up should read:

sf4
tekken 5 d.r.
marvel vs capcom 2

it will be a double elimination best 2 out of 3
finals will be best 3 out of 5
$5 entry per game
60/30/10 split of the pot

                                            any questions ? call me @ 308-4549

Hey, I think I’ve actually seen you playing at Aladdin’s Castle a long time ago, and I think you were actually playing Soul Calibur!

Whoa, so many new people coming out of the woodwork! Nice to meet all of you guys :smiley:

Nice to meet you Jon and DJ. I think we need to do some pre-gaming somewhere. I don’t really keep up with SF4 anymore; lately I just put my time into the flavor of the week (e.g. a new game). Melty Blood: Actress Again being the target.

I told Ricky already there’s a lot of us who play just about anything. Phong, Shyang, and Cuong all play SF4 on a whole different plane.

Petro: I don’t think you should drop BlazBlue just because KC is good at it. You’d be missing out on a lot of attendees if you did. Last week’s ranbat in KC had 19 people show up for that game alone – twice as much as SF4 or T5DR.

AND we have people here who play it.

Just my two cents.

I’ve actually put some time into BB and I like it. I play Jin and I try not to Icecar spam :stuck_out_tongue: But I’ve really only started playing fighting games this month. XD

Sorry Jude, I can’t go to Ochio after all this weekend. Good luck to you if you go though, man. Rep that HDR!

There are actually going to be a lot of Blazblue players at this. There’ll be players from here, KC, OK, TX, and possibly other states.

There are even well-known Brawl players that said they probably wouldn’t even bother driving all the way to Wichita if it weren’t for the announced BlazBlue side-tournament.

hmm… peter i could care less if k.c. is good at blaze. who in the crew play it ? beside you and maybe a few other ? on our side of the crew NO ONE other than darnell & ian even care fo it. but fine. there will be blaze blue.

sunday my place 3pm for any one that wants to get down. if you want to attend let me kno
DONT BE LATE !!!

and peter i got sumtin fo your devil jin/jin :arazz:

ok guys. THERE WILL BE BLAZE BLUE !!!

AFFINITY-
didnt you have sumthing to do with ict gaming ? what ever happend to the dude that ran the site ?

Just because you guys don’t play it, doesn’t mean tons of other people would like to. We talked about this before. If you want to make a successful turnout, you have to pull in as many people as you can.

Something for my Devil Jin / Jin eh? :rofl: Show it to me tomorrow! And please tell me you stopped using d4,4…

No idea lol

2morrow is a bad day for me. got to go back to work, but if you want to bring any of the new blood over this sunday feel free. ian and a few others that ive just meet will be there. im tryin to get illwill to come by also. if u talked to phoung tell him that we have a newbie in our crew that THINKS he can take him in sf4
he dont know it yet but he in fo a beatin of a life time !

till sunday

Guess I’m a little late hopping onto the wagon here, but I guess most of you would know me as Durrell. Haven’t had the chance to really get into too many new games as of late. Not having the money and all.

Anyways nice to meet you guys. And to anyone who already knows me, what’s up?

Good shit Wichita. Nice to see you guys firing up your scene nice and hot.

I expect good things out of you guys in T6. Darnell, Peter, Andy, you guys are going to have to lead the charge, get these guys hyped, and educated. There was some potential from a few of the guys Dave and I played out there, but there’s a lot of work to be done. I’m also completely open about teaching up and coming players myself. If they’re willing to come out to our tournaments/hookups, I’ll sit down with them and share whatever knowledge I can. I want T6 to be the biggest Tekken community yet, and the Midwest has the potential to be a premiere force in this game.

I hope Kyle got motivated on Guilty Gear and BlazBlue after this trip to KC. He’s got ALOT of potential at those games. He was rusty in Guilty, I could tell. I think he’ll be a big competitor for next seasons ranbat title if he gets back into it.

And Peter, you’re a beast at KOF. I’m sorry we couldn’t finish this last time, BUT, I want to set up a grudge match between you and ArkiveZero on the big screen at the next tournament. You two are obviously the respective best at that game, so let’s get it going.

See you fellas soon. We’re looking at doing the next one on September 19th.
