New Zealand Fighting Game Forum

Hey guys,

Since everyone has fucked off to play other stupid games, I'm trying to work out ways that I can actually continue to play fighting games somehow, because I kinda still like them. I've got a couple of ideas kicking around, and the first step along the path is to try run a small (8 man max) tournament on GGPO.

Possible games include ST, SFA2, HF, or maybe even 3s (although 3s suffers from the online-ness a fair bit).

The basic idea is that we pick a day or two (weekend?), meet up on the Vent server and play the games. We can spec the games, heckle the competitors and everything.

I want to see what works and doesn't work with this online tourney shit.

Show of interest please.

Currently interested ppl:

• flux
• stereomonkey
• toomeke
• gino
• smoof
• massi4h
• blackstar
• theDOORS2NIRVANA
• lennysaurus
• zosla
• pinolicious?

Maybe:

• illbill?
• gunsmoke?

I propose a WoW tourney....

Nah I fucked off to play 3S but I've never played online so don't know how that shit is gonna go down.

Uh, is that interest? I can't tell.

Too much couscous for smoof...

I am totally interested so lets get the bracket rolling! :P

Put me down for ST/HF. May be keen for 3s...game kinda sucks online tho as you mentioned. What about xmen? Or Vamp Saviour? Would be cool to learn something a bit different

Yeah VS would be cool.  Something new that we havent played to death already.

I'm only doing one game to start with, and it's not going to be VS. No-one knows how to play it.

You want to learn those other games, go right ahead. Doing a tournament for them is just a waste of my time.

Also I didn't realise you were all so sick of all the ST/HF/A2 tournaments that have been running.

lol...
glhf.

Interested!

good shit gino

4 more ppl

Smoof. Put Euan down too, Me and Ben will make him play

Put me down. And make an xvsf comp lol.

yes hyper fighting please  8)

Is anyone going to throw their toys around if it's ST for the first one?

No-one seems to have expressed a preference for A2, so I guess the next most likely is HF, if people would prefer that.

Nope ST is fine by me

If we do have ST, can we have a not SF2 tourney after? Having an ST tourney then a HF tourney seems kinda meh

Umm, yeah I guess? MvC1? Anyone played that to death? :P

Puzzle Bubble tourney.

pocket fighter maybe...

Can we have three games for the tourney and the person with the best results over the three wins :D maybe a prize if we get a few more entrants

No.

Keeping it simple for the first run.

okay then... pussy :P

Well I vote any game besides the alpha and darkstalkers series.

I'm keen for any of the mvc games. I'll play anything though, 3s?

I should really download ggpo

A dude from work said uncharted was one of the best games on the PS3, and i have to say (in my limited experience) it delivered. Ill definitely give the 2nd one a rent at least. Not sure on the buying front though. With those sorts of games i tend to just rip through it once for the story. That being said, yes, id be keen.

Yeah I'll show you guys the keyboard fail skills. Leave me on P1 side, cause my keyboard won't to half circles on P2 side and I can't reversal shoryuken :(

I still dont even know how to download and set up GGPPO  :'( :'( :'(

Gee Mason, its time to get yourself a stick my brotha.  You should have a fund raiser at the next grind session.  "$2 dollars to play the MAN of Guitar Hero, beat him and win $1000!!!"  You would make the mula in no time :P

Someone help this man NOW!  :-\

Okay, we need to sort out a date for this so can you please throw in dates and lets see the outcome.

Another thing to note is can the people who are interested start coming on to vent or the irc chat so we can organize so time to test out everybody's connection to each other.  Making sure ll the necessary ports are forward and that we have lag free games.

Also, can we have final votes on what the game will be.  Since it's a trial torney we are going to keep it simple to see what works and what not. The choices are:

• Hyper Fighting
• Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
• Street Fighter Alpha 2

And to start it off I vote

Date: 18 Oct
My vote: Super Turbo

The Lenny says Alpha 3!!! Er I mean Alpha 2!!!!

My vote:
Super Turbo

Okay, maybe I wasn't too clear but can you guys suggest dates as well.  Thanks :)

Don't even have 8 ppl confirmed as interested yet...

but yeah I think the connection problems will be what kills this.

I'll lolfully play all 3. 18 Oct works for me.

Everybody else that is interested please speak up.  I'm thinking this Sunday but if everybody has something planned or we don't end up testing out all the connections then we will have to sort out another date.

I vote A2!

i dont really care what game we play I will own you all MuHahAHahHAHHAhAhA !!!!!

So I put HF for you because I'm not sure about SA2 and ST when it comes to ya...   ::)

Its all part of my plan to lul you all into a false sense of security hahahhhahaha

Okay, can everybody that has signed up please come on to vent (or irc) tonight so we can test out what our connections are like.

Also, I don't know how many of you guys noticed, but the 18 Oct is this Sunday so what you reckon on doing it then?  ???

See you Sunday I guess

If this will be Sun 18 Oct after 5pm, I will express my interest now, if you need the numbers to go ahead.

Darren bro, this is during missus time. Sorry man =(

Yeah, it will go on even if we only have 2 people online.  Plus morning just because if Sessions Beatings is streaming most of us would be already online watching it.

Though if enough people say afternoon is better than we can arrange that.

How about we just arrange for non seasons beatings weekend?

Long story short I cannot seem to get my eeepc working so I'm going to call this off for another day unless someone else wants to make it happen?

Sorry everybody that was interested :'(

yole put me down for ST !...

oh is this thing off ??

well if ther a few ppl keen for a tiny st tourny then we can suss it out.

10 ppl or sumthin ? if ther are that many here who play st.

Bro, you obviously do not visit the site often.  Quite alot of people play ST, HF and actually all the games on ggpo.  You need to come on more and hop on to the chat :)

EDIT: I have update the front page (http://nzism.alphaism.com/) on the details.  This willl be happening on the 1st of November starting at 12pm.  

Next is a few maybes I want to see if they would be actual "definite" players.  Which would be super awesome!

• illbill?
• gunsmoke?
• pinolicious

Also, how about you CptMunta, kingpiccolo, Geneterror?  Do you reckon you guys would like to jump on aswell? :)

If I ever get my ggpo working I'll be down. Might have a play with it again over the long weekend this week.

It starts looking for a match and never finds one. I am really ignorant of shit like portforwarding :-[

Doh, that would be the main problem.

There are guides on how to port forward you router at this site: http://www.portforward.com/
This site will help you out on what your suppose to do to.  You must open UDP ports 6000-6009 (inbound/outbound) and TCP port 7000 (outbound) in your router for it to work. 

After forwarding on your router you can check to make sure you have the correct ports opened by using this program here: http://www.portforward.com/help/portcheck.htm
