That's right guys! Livewire Games located in Auckland's IMAX complex has joined up with NZism to sponsor First Blood 2011!!!

Livewire games is an independent gaming store that takes gaming to the next level!  Not only are they able to get any game you can think of, they sell all manner of gaming memorabilia including action figures, plushies, clothing, bags - you name it, they have it!!!

As well as sponsoring our tournament and helping with promoting our website, Livewire will be taking pre-orders for us, and have assured that anyone pre-ordering using the code "Lenny sent me" will get first priority over anyone else ordering the game.  This can be done online at www.livewiregames.co.nz.  Make sure to put at least $20-00 down, and Livewire Games will make sure that you get your game when it gets here!!  They ship all over New Zealand and will get it to you on release, or you can pick up in town!!!

Come on guys! Support the people that are supporting our community!!!

Hooray!

Question - Are these non import copies ? If not, fuck it - I'll preorder through them anyway to support the scene - would be a nice bonus though

My understanding is that because there is a New Zealand supplier for this game that they will have to get the local version, so non-import.  But to be sure just make sure you ask via the pre-order option.  Amol who I have  been dealing with is really helpful and is keen to make sure that our peeps get what they need.

When we order is "Lenny sent me" the coupon code thing?

Awesome work Lenny :)

Yah, Lenny sent me in the coupon thingy.

Be carfeul though.  If you input that code into the wrong website one of two things could happen:

-Ninja assasins could be sent to try and kill you
-Sexy ladies will arrive and try to sex you up

You have been warned.

Hooooollllyyy Fuck. This is pretty fucking awesome news. You guys have no idea how hype i was when Lenny called me up last night and told me about all this.

Most of you guys don't know the details of it yet, but I can personally vouch for this deal being a MASSIVE boost for us. The shit we're discussing is pretty mind blowing for the community. (And we're crossing our fingers for even MORE shit like this to come)

NZism 2011 is going to absolutely blow the last few years away. Get your motherfucking hype on team. And get your preorders in. The more of us that order form livewire, the better our relationship is. Whenever you buy a game, if you buy it from livewire, you're basically helping NZism become bigger and better.

This is the BEST time to be a fighting game fan. Every event that we hold this year is going to be exponentially better than the last. Youre going to want to ditch your mothers funeral to come to our shit this year.

TBH I could be direspecting the Marvel Gods with the way I play atm. I spent a whole game tryna hit my opponent's assist with Mag's snapback just so I could be like "OOH! OOH! OOH! OOH!".

Oh well, at least I've found a couple of guys on PSN who are around my level instead of getting owned by Graeme  :D

C'mon bro you're being hard on yourself. You've obviously been in the training room you just lack the matchup/practice against other people. Your offence is good but...

I can tell you now the biggest hole in your defence is that you don't roll on knockdown so I was getting you with a lot of free big damage OTG combos from psylocke assist. Learn to roll and you won't get caught in those combos. You'll notice all those combos I did with Cammy actually started from landing Psylocke assist but if you had rolled the cr.lk would have whiffed, I almost never catch any of the Yifans MvC2 guys with psylocke assist and if I do they ALWAYS roll leaving me to find new ways to get that cr.lk.

You still rockin' Mags as a 3rd to Strider/Doom? I reckon you should still have a look at Iron Man as a 3rd for that team?

Post by: massi4h on January 26, 2011, 02:28:24 PM
Remember you can't just snap back the assist, you have to hit the assist and point character. Easy way is with short, short, psylocke assist, by then you should have hit confirmed if you hit them both. Akumas tatsu assist gives you so much time to set it up though, which is why I really like it.

Yep, there should be posters at the Livewire store once we update the First Blood poster with the Livewire logo.

Funny how the sponsor ended up being the place you showed me Kurt haha.

Just preordered my MvC3 from Livewire
360 copy for now, due to the majority of the Marvel players living on the 360 platform.
