BlazBlue MASH-UP (Training Session)

I'm holding a BlazBlue training session for those participating in the BlazBlue tournament at the CHRISTMAS DAMAGER this coming December.
For those of you who are interested please post a reply or PM me if you can come or not.

The training session will be held on December 4th @ GIGA, starting at 12:30 P.M.
For those that wish to, feel to free to meet me at the Burger King TimeZone before heading over to GIGA, I will be there at 11:30 A.M.

Standard training rules will apply, play your set and swap-off. Give advice to others.

Confirmed attending:

Do you want to help me setup something then?

I was thinking, because we will mostly be training for the CHRISTMAS DAMAGER it would be nice if those of us who come could offer feedback after your set is up, since it's always nice to see what the observer does when you don't. Especially for offline matches.

I have a Playstation 3 I can carry around to pretty much anywhere we hold this, I'm currently playing with a Playstation 3 controller but will change to an arcade stick before the CHRISTMAS DAMAGER (I think), so if any of you pad players want some advice on that as well, this would be a good chance! And since I've never really used an arcade stick, except at Yifans to play shmups. I'm pretty pure when it comes to them.

Umm, I can't really think of much else! It would be a pretty intense training session, not just for casual matches. So yeah, if you are interested please don't hesitate! The more the merrier!

Sweet. Were you thinking having it at Giga?
Someone's house?

I have a Hrap3 with Sanwa in it, if we need a stick. I have at least 1 other friend who wants to train for the Christmas Damager as well.

I know Graeme is always up for some training.

Never been to Giga so not sure of the standards / costs.
Unless you know somebody with a good house to play at?

Giga have an HRAP3 and PS3 there.  SO if you take your stick, and a copy of the game you'll be fine.  Just take a HDMI->DVI adapter with you just in case and ask to use a monitor.  It'll cost you ten bucks an hour.

Giga seems like the place to go! I'm not really sure on a day since the CHRISTMAS DAMAGER is reeaallly soon.
If next Saturday isn't a problem for everyone (as hopefully most of you don't work on Saturday). Then how about, next Saturday? We can meet up at Yifans next to the shitty cabinet the old BlazBlue is in and go from there.

Lemme know what you think!

Updated main post!

Looks like I wrote up a reply earlier, and didn't even post before I turned off my PC to go to the gym... Lol.
Fail.

Anyway it went something like: unfortunately I can't offer my house, and I don't wanna suggest anyone else's house without them offering it first, but Giga is a good place to do it.

If we've decided for Saturday 4th Dec at Giga, then I'm good with that. What time?

Also, why meet at Yifans for shitty old cab CT, when we could meet at Timezone where the cabs decent, and it actually has CS? :D

Just incase people don't know where to go, Yifan's seems like a good place to meet up first. And the old cabinet with BlazBlue Shitty Trigger is like a marker, haha.
Wouldn't actually put money in to that PoS.

But yeah okay, I forgot BK TimeZone actually had CS. BK TimeZone it is!

Nope, we don't. How about just after lunch? I'll probably be at Yifan's at like 11:00 AM, I want to play some stuff there before training anyway.
Soo, around 12:30? And we can decide on a finishing time then.

Look forward to seeing you there Taku! It's actually not as hard as you may think, going from being a BBCS pad user to arcade stick. Since BlazBlue has some pretty tight frame input requirements. Arcade sticks are perfect for this and allow you to flow much better.

I doubt I can make this :'(. Unfortunately my friends band is playing out West at Zeal that night and I haven't caught up with those guys for ages so I'm gonna head along to that. Probably gonna be to much of a pain to juggle both.
I could possibly fit 3 people into my place on the Sunday afternoon for a few hours for training if anyone is keen but I gotta check with the wife first, Suzannah might have other plans already.

Meaaan sounds good. Pity you can't come, Graeme. I might take you up on the Sunday training session, if my friends don't need me for airsoft.

So we decided, meeting at Timezone at 12:30? If not, then stragglers can just head to Giga themselves anyway.
Keen to actually get some proper training matches done. I haven't properly trained at this game yet :/

Post here, and I'll check before I leave tomorrow.


Btw Squares, take my cell number just in case we can't find each other or something lol.

So uh. Went today. Waited around TZ BB:CS machine, went to Yifan's BB:CT machine. Noone there :/

Not that it was totally unexpected, but still.

I ended up going to my friends apartment across the road from Giga, and practicing CS there.

Uhh yeah.....Taku didn't show because of "Bacon and Eggs", something like that. And I was suppose to go with him.
Well guess we'll just see you guys at Damager.

I still wub Hazama, but cheated on him with Tao.
