Title: NZism's final pre-nationals training session THIS WEEKEND 25th July
Post by: fluxcore on July 20, 2009, 07:13:58 AM
Sorry for the late notice, just realised there wasn't a thread for this yet!

Usual story, $5 entry, noon->6pm fighting games non stop! bring your sticks.

We also intend to hold some 'tutorial lectures' discussing basic game tricks and strategies that we feel many newcomers to the scene may not be aware of.

Be there!

Since we've got 8 setups this time, should we have a dedicated mvc2 and a blazblue setup? That would still leave 6 for sfiv.

Maybe even an hdr?

Much as i would like a marvel setup, the delay on those monitors is pretty bad. You almost always need a CRT for that shit.

Were the monitors on 'game' mode?

I can bring my dc + the 2 arcade sticks for it that everyone was mocking at xlan, they certainly aren't TE sticks but they work fine. It's more just to show people what's coming up at the end of the month so they can get hype.

Not sure if we'd have enough for BB. It really depends on how many ppl bring their sticks. I urge everyone to do so for great communist NZism!

Discipline! Justice! Commitment!

Good question about game mode. Admittedly, ive tried going through those settings with similar monitors to no avail, but im pretty good at being wrong when it comes to this sort of stuff.

Im sure somehow we can manage a BB setup. We just need to put aside a PS3 and two sticks. Are we doing it the same as last time? Around where the main monitor is? or are we jacking a couple of those blocks in the middle?

yeah its 155 K road, just on the right side as you turn right onto K road from upper Queen St intersection. Just watch for the sign above your head for RVB as its a small corridore entrance going downstairs.

So you might actually play this time haha.

I will try and turn up but it will probably only be for a few hours, 12-3 or something. I'll bring my trusty PS3 Namco stick and a copy of Blazblue.

Keen to catch up with everybody!

Had some good games today. And some abysmal ones. Scrubs...the anti-bill.

Additionally,

Pro's...the anti-bill.

My best matches are the fucking middle ground >_>

Good meetup. Smaller than the last one I went to, but that's prob just due to no poster etc. Good to play some 3S albeit one side had a bit of a wonky US stick. Really hope that game comes to PS3 online.

If we set that up next time I could bring my DC stick.

As for the games, good games esp against Gino's Blanka, solid use of Cr MK > jab > Ball. Also cool to see Toomeke's Fei Long.
