I have a friend in Chicago, but he hasn't had a lot of time to play a whole lot of games recently.  He loves KOF though and is definitely looking forward to playing it.  I'll see if I can get him to contact you, as he doesn't really lurk around these forums.

I played it tonight at GGA

It's pretty good but man I don't like how loose that stick is.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: bzerk on June 12, 2011, 07:07:58 PM
yeah i agree, that stick needs to be a little tighter.  its feels like its been worn in about 10 years already

Just talked to my friend and he said that there's going to be Wednesday night gatherings at GGA.  It's mainly for console gaming, but my friend will definitely be there to play XIII, and perhaps others will join as well.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: MightyMar on August 26, 2011, 07:34:29 AM
As you probably figured out the majority of the chicago scene is dominated by capcom games. I only know of a few people whom you can play the games with. Perseo, Syxx, Webster, Humbag, Heroic Legacy, Emptyshiki, and myself are as far as I'm aware of the only ones who play any snk games in the chicago land area.

I'm jumping into the Chicago KOF scene now. I'm in the near northwest side right now - Bucktown.

Must. Stop. Sucking.

Post by: Mr Bakaboy on September 02, 2011, 02:01:08 AM
Man I remember pushing Snk hard in chi town and getting no where. Went to Anime Central and brought SVC during the first month of it's release on the AES and barely got any attention on it. The Kof's and Garou were about the same. It's a real shame. Hope you have better luck.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: bzerk on October 05, 2011, 12:06:12 AM
Well I know at least for my part, I will be pushing kof XIII in chicago. Bringing my setup to ignite and gga on mondays and thursdays. Yeah it sucks that mostly all of chicagoland is stuck on capcoms nutz but im still gonna make the effort.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: souf on October 05, 2011, 11:52:54 PM
Really? no chicago players?

this is exactly how i felt when i first signed up a year or less ago (i had to make this new account cause i didnt even bother coming back here anymore since there was nobody to make plans to meet up with...totally forgot my password, sorry mods...i know duplicate accounts goes against forum policy but i had no choice). but yeah...even in the online matchmaking thread i couldnt get anybody to play.

right now i mostly play sssf4AE and AH3, but kofXII has been collecting dust for a while now...id really like to pick it back up and try to get ready for XIII even though i know its not THAT similar. im on the far south side of chicago off 106th street, even the red line doesnt come down here hah, but as long as its a reasonable distance/price/time im willing to travel if theres gunna be offline matches of anything snk.

do you have a bootleg of XIII to play at offline sessions? or do you just hit up the cab at gga?
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: Mr Bakaboy on October 17, 2011, 01:10:08 PM
Just curious if anybody knows is the black hole pizzeria still around on the west side? I got some crazy Mexican matches up there. I'm heading up to Chicago in mid January. Wanted to at least see what the galloping ghost arcade is all about.

Hey, if anyone is up for local play, my XBL tag is cactusmomma. I'd love to play against some of you guys once the snow hits and there's nothing else to do in the area.

Ill be trying to run ranbats tonight at ignite network for those of u that can make  it out here. If we get enough people to show of course
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: konkrete on December 04, 2011, 04:02:16 AM
Hey KOF players.

There is a good number of people getting into the game. If we simply show up and play a real scene could flourish out of our numbers. Ignite is going to be getting good numbers in the coming weeks i feel. This Monday we'll have anywhere from 6-10 people playing the game, which is pretty nice for a brand new game, as well as a brand new franchise to some people *raises hand.* Not to mention ignite is a pretty cool place. They play good tunes, have a mini coffee shop, and the staff is really friendly.

Although the scene has been dominated by Capcom games, XIII is a good enough game on it's own that people will come out for it. I think making a good impression at the local gatherings will only prove that to the people on the fence.

So come one come all. Let's meet and play and be merry.

Post by: Latino Link on December 06, 2011, 06:45:36 AM
Well I'm from the Iowa scene a quite a bit of players picked up the game and I'm trying hard to push the game for our monthlies. Seeing success just want more players to embrace this game.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: Mr Bakaboy on December 06, 2011, 01:17:28 PM
Anybody taking local....er KOF players from St Louis on xbl? Trying to collect as many decent connection players that I can find. Hoping Chicago is local enough.

Are there any plans for a KOF side tourney at Frosty Faustings? I want an excuse to watch Guilty Gear all day and possibly bang out-of-area chicks.

Side tourney is likely.

I really hope we can get Kof XIII as a side tourney if at least. So right now I'm trying to get some iowa players to come by the gathering at GGA not this week though, but hope fully within the month.

Yo, KOF Chicago. KOFXIII tournament was hype at GGA. Happy that there was at least double-digit entrants. Sucks that none of the matches were on stream cuz no one had a 360 copy. I shoulda brought mine. This is James btw.

Results as from what I remember...
KOFXIII GGA tournament: 12 entrants.
1. James
2. Big Bill Hel.... aka Humbag on SRK
3. Aaron aka Dizzy
4th and so on... idk.

Here is the non-completed bracket posted up on SRK from dat one Aki guy.

Just registered here.

I've already given shoutout for Ignite at SRK, but I've been pretty detatched from the majority of the Chicago fighting game scene in the past three years (since I dislike most of the recent popular games). So I might as well re-introduce myself.

I used to travel to 3~4 majors a year, but have been done with 'competitive scene' for most part. I value originality and creativity in fighting games over anything, and last game I liked was AH3. XIII is fun so I plan to spend decent amount of time with it.

I was playing mostly Terry/Athena/Kula last night, but don't have a definitive team yet.

You should ask Aki for an image of the brackets, I believe he's the Lokodero(spelling?) guy in SRK. So have I taken Lebron's title of "King James" yet? lmao. Also here is the link to Medina's archive of the KOF matches on stream featuring the top 4... http://www.twitch.tv/medina4life/b/302737499 (http://www.twitch.tv/medina4life/b/302737499)

2. Syxx vs Bzerk (Loser's Semi-Final)
3. GLtheBest vs Bzerk (Loser's Final)
4. James vs Bzerk (Grand Finals)

KOF13's results @GGA (12/15/11) with teams as far as my memory goes: 11 entrants... I thought it was 10.
 1: James (Andy, K', King/King, K', Kyo)
 2: Bzerk (Mature, Kyo, Takuma/Kyo, Billy, Takuma/Mature, Billy, Saiki)
 3: GLtheBest (Kyo, K', Takuma)

do you have any type of gatherings at all out there in aurora?   U might have to start you own scene like we have been doing in the city and @ gga.  Were usually 1-2 setups running only kof  among  8-10  setups running Mahvel/SSF4 AE.   

Its tough man hang in there

GGA monday? Don't u mean Ignite? lol. For '98 Iori and NESTS Kyo, not sure yet since i've only seen one person use '98 Iori in a tournament. I bought '98 Iori anyway since it's just $5, comes with a stage, character theme, and of course Iori wit that power. NESTS Kyo is looking hype tho if you've seen the video, and I like the Esaka stage when I played on it randomly online.

Hopefully we can get some RanBats going at ignite this monday and show capcom players how badass KOFXIII is. As usual I will bring my PS3 setup on monday for KOFXIII only. This time I will be there very early around 5:30-5:45pm. Last time I went there around 6:15-6:20pm and all 6 setups were taken, which has never happened that early before. 5 of them were capcom setups and 1 KOF. Hopefully we could make it an even 2 AE2012, 2 UMVC3, and 2 KOF setup. It's nice to see a bunch of new faces there tho. Ignite is growing closer to the size of the GGA gatherings.

Also, we gotta get more of Chicago to signup on Dream Cancel. We're the 8th best viewed and replied thread in the "Offline Matchmaking" boards, lol. Let's make top 5!!!!

Nope. Their are no true "serious players" out here in Aurora and I already know about gga. Everyone should hop  on skype so we can do matchup discussions/esoteric right now and use that as a tool for matchmaking when the patch comes out.

Sup Brandon/Bzerk, James and everyone else I havent met yet! Lol I have finally made an account here after being told by a few people that this is the place to go. I also introduced myself on the main page of the forums. I see Bzerk that you are very passionate about making this scene grow so I want to help you out, you can count one more guy in on the KoF hype train! Not only that but I have always wanted to play kof. I remember how everyone was saying KoF has an unforgiving learning curve with a high execution barrier. After spending time in the lab with this game it really isnt that hard at all lol. I am now able to do HD/Drive, and super cancel combos without a hassle. Also I told myself that my starting team would be Yuri/Robert/Takuma. but after I saw Ryo's Neo Max with his single slow mo punch I fell in love lol. Im not sure if he is a good char though because his projectile isnt that good and his mobility seems to be bad, but I am going to try to make him work, his damage output seems to be pretty high though. I am able to do a 950 damage combo with him.... but with the expense of four bars. Also I was getting a bit discouraged with takuma since I cant get his step kick into his charging flying kick attack consistently I can get it to work but not 100% of the time. I know that you must start charging as soon as you hit standing c, the motion just feels weird to me so im gonna pocket him for now. I have also been having fun with Robert, and bzerk that one trial where you do cr. b, cr. a, --> b is so impractical he has way better hit confirms lol. So as of right now my main team is Billy on point, Ryo, then Robert as anchor, what do you guys think? Ok I am typing waay too much and will shutup now. Its about 6 a.m. and for some reason I cant go back to sleep. See you all soon.

skillz! more people is more fun. A friend of mine who isn't active on the forums at all might be coming by ignite on monday. Decent player and a good dude. Hopefully we can get it crackin.

About your team, I really don't like yuri first. She builds meter decently enough but her with meter is scary because she can corner carry from almost past mid-stage. Then again, her mixup is scary enough that if you work on resets then it might not be a big deal.

The longest quote in the world, lol. Well wassup, Josh. Nice of u to finally join the cause. I'd say Billy is probably good anywhere, his DP is probably the best in the game. I think Ryo is a good character, his projectile always does knockdown n he has really good corner pressure with it or I guess jus pressure in general. Ryo also has parries which he could then follow up with anything. He could parry everything except grabs, but u should be able to recover in time to tech whatever regular grabs your opponent does if they try to bait out your parries. Also a 950 HD combo with jus 4 bars is really good, basically a ToD combo after a random hit. Robert... Idk anything about Robert, lol. All I know is that it's possible to zone with him from what I've seen. For Takuma, I'd say play him on point because he doesn't have many defensive options, but then again dats all bzerk so ask him about. And for Yuri, really annoying pressure game, also dats all Konkrete, his Yuri is sometimes annoying.

Other than that, welcome to the Chi-town/Midwest thread!

Welcome  to the DREAMCANCEL................lol 

Sup josh  glad u finally found your way here, you know if you have any questions, we all help each other out here.  as far as some of your questions on team building  here is some of my opinions.

 Well first off with Robert, cant tell you too much about him cuz I dont play him myself. He has a crapload of tools for every situation but unfortunatly  we dont have a resident robert player yet lol.

Ryo on the other I do know a bit about. Looks like ryu, plays totally different.  Ryo is all about defense and space control, amazing fireball btw  I think your thinking of it as a traditional projectile when it's not. Think of it more as a poke or a normal with a really huge hitbox. Its meant to control  that really large space in front of ryo and as james said  its always knockdown on hit which lets you work your way to the corner.  Light dp comes out  on frame 1, best anti-air btw.  ryo can  cancel cr.D  which is really good, think sf2 ryu.   I think ryo is best on point   or as anchor, he builds meter really good without having to use meter himself. And as a anchor  as u can see  he dishes out heavy damage  when u score a hit, its just u have to play him at a slower methodical

Billy! Sooooo cheese lol   best EXdp in the game, great pokes from almost any distance, easy hit confirms, good rushdown and defense,  really only one or two hd combos you need to know ( he really doesn't have any that are worth doing mid screen imo)   billy can go anywhere on your team, only thing is  that he doesnt build meter very fast on his own so keep that in mind.

Takuma,   learning the timing for cl.C  f+B xx db_f+D  is kinda hard at first. The trick is that you have to start charging db before the f+B comes out and then cancel into db_f+D late. I can show u the timing for it next time i see you.  Takuma is all offence man, he can zone too but you should  only be zoning until u get a better postion. Takuma needs to stay in that grill cuz he really has almost no defense options. if your on defense learn to block cuz you will be doing that alot. Learn cr.C   its prob his only decent anti-air, other than that  qcf,hcb+C has slight startup but is invincible during that startup. And finally EX command grab is really good  if you need a out, but just cant throw it out there it will get you punished.   Anyways ill go into more detail later. Let me know if u got further questions man

GGs to Konkrete, Orka, n Skillz08 in KOFXIII last night at Ignite. 986 HD combo is da most hypest damage I've ever seen, props to skillz. Ralf didn't have enough boom. Yuri can't do much if she can't do her air mixups but she is still cheap. Vice is a bitch. Kula bitch slaps for a wall bounce. Athena auto-corrects. Shen makes DM fireballs disappear. Saiki is too good. Billy's DP n pokes are annoying. Ryo Parries and HD damage with 4 bars is boss. Andy, K', King = team safe. Andy does too much damage meterless. K' combos off his glasses. King throws a lot of fireballs. Kim has an overhead. Kyo jump down C all day. Flame-less Iori is cool. Anything I missed?

Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: bzerk on December 28, 2011, 07:40:40 PM
does his 100% HD involve the dp (hdc) rdp loop?    And btw are u going to frosty faustings?

Naw, it's a way easier loop involving his DP hdc into Kai then a RDP. I jus recorded the combo on to my IPhone and uploading it to YouTube now. I will most likely be at FF, if there are enough entries I'm gonna rally for a team 2v2 tournament.

Well anyway, here's the Kyo combo i figured out this morning. Easy combo even though I messed up in the beginning of the vid. LOL. Works almost 1/3rd screen and the corner. It's obvious Bzerk is gonna steal this and try to use it in Frosty Faustings. ENJOY! ;)

Oh yeah, and I won't put any notations up so u guys could just solve it yourselves. muhahahaha. it's an easy combo, especially in the corner.

GGs indeed.

The more I play the more I don't like Vice. I need a new anchor because I'm pretty set on the rest of my team. Not sure where to go, but this monday I'll have a new team lined up.

I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe I need a little more time and double maybe should stick with what I know for ff, but she is just not clicking with me as much as when I started. I feel like i have to play vice instead of how I want to play vice, if that makes sense.

Maybe you should play King again. As far as I know, King has won every KOFXIII tournament in Chicago. She's low-tier and she's winning tournaments. ;)

On a serious note, I think you should stick with what you know, but most likely change your order around. Let's say maybe... Ralf, Vice, Yuri. Try changing your order around for specific matchups/teams and see how that works. Also master this and do it this monday at ignite...

I am very, very unhappy with my performance. I was straight up not getting qcf to the right with my stick. I hope it was just me being really off and not my stick malfunctioning. Oh well. See you guys in a bit. Must practice for ignite...

Also, when I get completely moved, I'd like to start doing gatherings if people would be down. Maybe Saturdays?

I guess so... Either that or it's mainly because he had King on point. First time I've ever played against a legit King.
The Andy vs King matchup felt a bit annoying to me. Then his EX Iori was a problem. I felt like I had to beat his EX Iori with my Andy still alive to take da match. As usual it was hard for him to punish his elbow. I think Medina gots the archives up for grand finals on twitch tv.

Hey guys, I had lots of fun in Chicago, and it was fun meeting nothing89, Bzerk, and the other locals. My gameplay was a little on the experimental tip (trying out characters and teams to see who I am comfortable with), so I will take what I learned and train more. Again, good meeting meeting you fellas. If there is a results thread here on the forums, I will post more shoutouts.

@Desmond - it was nice meeting u n the rest of the out-of-towners. Sucks we couldn't get any games in, but hopefully things will run a lot smoother in next year's FF so we could do an epic 5v5 showcase/exhibition on stream.

@Konkrete - I'm down for some Saturday gatherings. I've also heard Nickel city wants the Chi-town FGC to do some gatherings on Saturdays. Would be nice to have another gathering that is close to me or less than 20 minutes of driving/drifting for me.

Sup guys! I'll be at ignite tonight and wow those frosty faustings results look impressive not surprised to see James and bzerk at the top, too bad I couldn't make it. Ive actually had a day to play kof, so I should be too bad. I also just picked up Joe since muay Thai is my fav fighting style, and managed to make up a 830 damage combo with him with 3 bars. I'm not sure if that is good or not. Anyways see you guys tonight.

Oh by no means am I really that upset, I was just looking to have people over and hang out during the day, but now if I try to make a thing out of it then I fear I will be met with accusations of trying to sabotage. I probably will still host for those who might be in a similar situation.
Brandon - sorry for skipping out today. I wished with my heart of hearts that KoF had better online. Hopefully when I get my 50ft cat5 it'll be better.

Gee, who do I play... Takuma with a fireball or Takuma with all the defensive and offensive options in the world n talks mad shit in his NEO MAX.

Team DLC all day. Lovin NESTS Kyo btw. All I need is a good midscreen bnb with him then he's on the main team somewhere.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: bzerk on January 14, 2012, 05:51:02 AM
Acutally I still think takuma  has slightly better offense than mr karate, slightly better damage and ambiguous command throw that opens up defense and loops damage back into itself.   Karate has short reach  and little bit of a harder time breaking defense down but once he does   he can put the hurt on just as good.

TL:DR

Takuma:   Offense -  S+    Defence -  B-
Mr Karate:  Offense - A     Defence -  S

Yea, but we all know defense wins games, like the bulls did tonight. I'd still take trash talkin Takuma over smiley Takuma.

Aiight, so Monday... KOF Ranbats #2? I finally found a website to print out double elimination brackets too. 32 or 16-man brackets.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: konkrete on January 14, 2012, 10:55:31 PM
Sounds good, but we should be sure to keep the rankings so they're actual ranbats and not just $1 tournies.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: n0thin89 on January 14, 2012, 11:05:38 PM
Aiight so here is the first ranbats results... how should we divide the rankings? by points? 1st gets 10 points since there was 10 entrants? then 2nd gets half... 5 points? 3rd gets 2 points? 4th n on get 1 lousy point?

KOF XIII Ranbat   1/2/2012
10 Entrants

1) James
2) Konkrete
3) Flexo
4) Eric
5) Bzerk
5) MJB
7) Grant
7) Brightside
7) Orka
7) Lurch

EDIT: So Bzerk, what's goin on?
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: konkrete on January 14, 2012, 11:35:59 PM
I really don't know much about it, but I think the  place that gets half of the amount that 1st gets should be at least 3rd, not 2nd. I feel like it would be too easy to become uncatchable. Maybe it goes like this, where the points are the number of entrants:
1st - 100%
2nd - 75%
3rd - 50%
4th - 25%
5th - 1 point if 4th doesn't get 1.

Just as well, should we try to organize a prize pool of some sort?
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: n0thin89 on January 15, 2012, 12:11:33 AM
That sounds good to me. I'm down with whatever people are down with.

Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: bzerk on January 15, 2012, 12:31:52 AM
Sorry guys  im late to the convo,  I think konkrete has the right idea about point system  I was thinking something like

1st - 10 points
2nd -7 points
3rd - 5 points
4th - 3 points

5th-whatever  gets 2 points

James  whats the website that u found?  If you could print out som brackets that would be awesome.
 
I have no idea what to do about a prize pool for the end of this,  bragging rights? Lol     
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene

Post by: souf on January 18, 2012, 08:04:41 AM
so i been fuckin around with arcade mode and missions all day today...i think i finally decided on a team

athena/kim/kensou in that order

i honestly dont know if thats the best choice...but the wiki is somewhat limited with info on my two guys, and its clear that athena doesnt need meter too much so she seems to do very well on point...better than robert and joe were doing for me at least.
so yeah...thats what im working with now...although i do love robert...and joe aint bad either...lol fuck, i just might change my team once i sober up tomorrow...
any suggestions would be awesome...if not, im just looking forward to trying this team out at GGA.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: konkrete on January 19, 2012, 07:23:55 PM
idk i like kensou first, and athena second. I don't know dick about kim. Kensuo builds crazy meter, and while athena doesn't need it to play her game (which isn't bad for a first spot) she has a lot of tools that can get her a lot of damage if she gets that hit with meter.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: Heroic_Legacy on January 19, 2012, 10:18:58 PM
Kensou Athena Kim is definitely the most natural order I'd have them in. Kensou is a great point character with tons of hard knockdowns and mixups. And he has a great fireball game to keep less mobile point characters (Clark, Ralf, Ryo) out.

Kim is an interesting character that relies heavily on hit confirm since a lot of his tools are unsafe. He has an amazing set of normals and abusing their natural abilities (For instance, far ;d is low invulnerable in startup frames and his  ;dn ;d is amazing anti air against horizontal jump ins.)

I'll be at GGA and will definitely help out whoever asks. KoF is too good.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: souf on January 19, 2012, 11:47:44 PM
cool, thanks for the insight fellas.
kim on anchor does sound intriguing...definitely a good idea to have him loaded up with as many of those ex kicks as possible...and as far as kensou on anchor...he was just the first character that i learned an HD combo with, other than that i had no real reason to put him in that spot. but ill definitely try out different orders and different teams tonight...im kinda bummed i decided against robert, definitely wanna see whats good with him still. FIX YO VEST ROBERT, you suave mother fucker you

see you at GGA, ill be the chubby pothead in the bulls hat that gave medina a ride. lets get some rounds in! feel free to take it easy on me haha

i was doing well holding my own in casuals...but i didnt play anybody in the top 3 in casuals haha so i guess that explains it  :(

also, just a minor thing that im sure nobody really cares too much about but thought id mention...percio's 2nd character was vice...and i decided against athena last minute and went with joe in the brackets.

hopefully im more comfortable with athena next week...i used her in casuals earlier in the night, but i just wasnt able to get anything done with her so i tried to lame it out with joe instead...frustrating.

ggs everybody!

You forgot to mention I played Hwa Jai.

Hwa Jai.

Dragon Ponchos was my favorite thing you said on commentary. We need more people who know Spanglish (Whether or not they actually know it) to commentate. Godlike. Noah wishes he could've been there.

Hiro, some people are meeting at my place on saturday before Nickel City if you're up for it. And my trick o beat K' is to not drop combos and not whiff dp's. It has worked like a charm for me.

Idk, I've only played against Noah and that was my first time playing him. But anyways I thought our match was very responsive. I need to test it out against u Brandon to see if there is any difference since you're the only one I've played online pre-patch.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: konkrete on February 02, 2012, 12:12:56 AM
Shit was silky fucking smooth. Very happy with the update when it comes to local. My biggest pet peeve with the original netcode was that it if anything happened it would keep the input delay for the duration of the round. Now when there's a skip, it's back to the same.

However, I friended some random green bar before the patch, and played him last night. A lot of small hiccups happened for few matches. Might be the connection or might be the net code, so take that with a grain of salt.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: souf on February 02, 2012, 08:28:29 AM
first match after the patch was with somebody with green bars...i guess it wasnt too laggy...but he was tier whoring and trolling me, so i wasnt really paying attention..plus it hit a lag bump here or there anyway. everyone else after him has had red bars as usual, so this marks yet another week where training mode is the only option for practice  :( weak sauce lol see you guys tomorrow...looking forward to finally getting to play a real match again


edit-almost right after i posted this i got like 3 or 4 different awesome connections in a row. turned into a cool night. my foots in my mouth haha

Most of the FGC goes to Galloping Ghost Arcade on Thursdays. Saturday gatherings are usually at Nickel City. But this Saturday there is a tournament coming up at Ignite Network at around 1pm. So most likely the FGC won't be at Nickel's this Saturday.

Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: desmond_kof on April 06, 2012, 04:05:52 AM
It's cool, we got a few cats playing weekly at gamestore, and we had a tournament in January that drew around 8 or 9 cats. Because of that number, we didn't get another tournament since, but we might get another one this month.

It seems lot of the fighting game players are still stuck on SFxT, MvC3 and SSFIV, which gives KOF 3rd rated game feel, and it's still kinda difficult to get everyone that plays to get together all at once, but hopefully if we keep playing, we can improve.

We had a bit more unity when we were all playing 98UM and 2002UM back in 2010, so things are kinda shaky now, but I'm trying my best to bring people together.

Welcome to DC-Chicago, Efo!

I think here is an online matchmaking thread somewhere in this forum. Some of the Chicago players usually meetup on Fridays and/or Saturdays at each other's places. We usually meetup before we go to Nickel City on Saturdays.

On Saturdays, it's usually at Konkrete's place.

On Fridays, it's usually at Joe's place. Ryokoalways on SRK.

Occasionally we'll have gatherings at Suiname's place on Fridays or Joe's place on Saturdays.

GGs to all the KOF players I played this past weekend. It was good seeing fellow KOF players from out of town make it out. Shoutouts to Desmond Delaghetto, we finally get to play each other and it was fun. Also to David Kong, it was nice talking to you and good games, looking forward to playing you again at EVO.

Good showing by Chicago in this event. Great tournament. Great experience.

i was up till 5am trying to perfect combos with my new team...
...only to find out 10 minutes ago that i no longer have a ride to nickel city.

haha ah well, time to go polish up this joe/yuri/chin shit on my own i guess. super excited on this new squad. feels good to finally have a backup team without kensou on point.

but yea unless i find a ride in the next couple of hours, which is unlikely cause nobody from the south side ever comes out to weekly's, see you guys thursday i guess.

@Suiname: I'm a playstation plus member on the PSN and it's one of the free games I get this month.

@Souf: So far I'm playing Brad. I used to play Akira but now he feels different compared to version A... Aka VF5 for PS3, so I kinda dropped him. I might pick up Jacky again because I like Jeet Kune Do.

Next week I will finally be able to make it to GGA on Thursdays again.  Pretty hype to get more KOF grinding done there. 

By the way, I forgot to ask this, does anyone know if Mario is done with KOF or not?  He told me his gf said he had to stop if he didn't win UFGT, which he didn't.  That would make me a sad panda.

mario got 3rd though didnt he? he should just paint his bronze medal gold and not let her see the stream archives.

gg's last night...im feeling a shit ton more comfortable with mature and chin, bummed i didnt get to play duckator though.
with the exception of clayton, TJL was the first dude i fought all night and he picked joe and yuri right away so i didnt try out that new joe/yuri/chin team ive been wanting to do...but he definitely made me eager to keep working on these new characters.

first gga in 3 weeks...and first gga ever where ive gone the entire night playing only kof. twas a good night.

Hey guys,
So I'm interested in networking and getting to know you guys.
I want to eventually make it out to the weekly venues/events and get in some offline KOF practice.

Atm my money is limited, because I'm not working, and I don't drive (take public transportation).
Basically, the fees add up over time.

In the mean time, I just wanted to mention that I'm around and want to get more active in the near future.

Also thanks for the tips, I definitely don't give trolls my time of day.

I've been interested in the game for a while now , but this is one of my first real efforts to get into it competitively. I actually participated in the online tourney earlier. My skill level is still pretty fresh, but I'm working on improving the holes in my gameplay.

edit: kevin fair asked me if we wanted to come to his ssf4 tournament at his place on friday. he said its just for fun and mostly just a cookout type party before evo so he doesnt mind if we brought the kof hype. you guys down to bring the kof session there and grab some food n booze and show some AE cats what a real game looks like...? its at 7pm sharp (sharp only pertains to anyone interested in entering his AE bracket) and iirc hes in the south loop so its not far at all. let me know by tomorrow afternoon cause he wanted a heads up on how much food he should get.

I might start messing around with Duo Lon again and maybe even Kim, or I should should prob trade iori for Shen since I know his combos, ugh I don't know who to use now. And someone needs to come up with a new handle for me I've had this generic skillz name since I was a kid. Im going through a crisis! Who am I? What am I fighting for?

Post by: n0thin89 on July 18, 2012, 07:21:10 PM
I would have to say we have at least a consistent 15 players playing KOF here. More people picking it up as EVO has gone by. We have good players all over Illinois, from the city all the way to the suburbs. We try our best to make it all at one gathering at the same time, whether it's at ignite(city) or galloping ghost arcade(suburb).

EDIT: also I've played some of you guys from KC at UFGT8. I think Samson and his brother...? You guys are solid.

Yeah Samson is pretty damn good, we get in a lot of casuals. He stays pretty much down the street from me. I'm assuming you're talking about Le. (they're not brothers lol) but he's good but could be better, I'd say me and samson are on pretty even playing level. We both trade tournament wins at our locals here. I'd say we only have about 6-7 dedicated people around here for KOF and get about 11-15 at our monthlies if we're lucky.  But it's good to know that more people are startin to pick up the game. I plan on being at seasons beatins again this year whenever that gets announced. I heard through the grapevine that it won't be happening at MoMo2 this year so i'm curious where the venue will be at. If any of you guys are in the KC area I don't think any of our players would mind getting in a lotta games.

I think me, Mario, and other Chicago players are gonna make it to season's beatings. I heard MoMo's is closing July 25th. I've never been there and it sucks that I won't get to see the place ever, was really looking forward to it. I don't think I'll be able to make it to the Arkansas tournament. That weekend a friend of mine is coming back from out of town and were supposed to chill. I'll probably catch you KC guys At season's beatings if not an earlier tournament.

Ok I think I found my team well 2 possible choices:

1. Andy/Saiki/Shen
2. Ex Kyo/Andy/Shen
3. Andy/Claw Iori/Shen

I realize from watching tutorials, my videos, and everyone else that I tend to play like im playing ae and need to really understand this game so I may take a small break from street fighter and try to learn this game more in dept, but for now this is the teams I am thinking of using just dont know which one but for right now I am thinking team 2 for right now.

I tend to play like im playing ae and need to really understand this game so I may take a small break from street fighter and try to learn this game more

you hardly play with us at GGA or NC...and by the end of the night when youre done with AE you never wanna play with me anyway cause i dont have DLC...how would you feel if i did better than you in an AE bracket after all the work you put in knowing that i hardly touch AE anymore? lol dont take it so personal homie, im happy as a pig in shit that youre doing well in kof, i want all of chicago kof to be godlike asap, but i was just surprised i didnt do better is all. either way...i was wrong in my post to begin with haha, we tied...but still, i have higher expectations of myself.

I like how everybody in my main team in that tier list is A+. The A+ team... I like that.

And I am extremely close to finally finding my final team as well so far I have king and takuma just looking for one more char I've been dabbling around with iori and duo Lon Shen, ryo and I only use Clark to scrub ppl out.

it dawned on me today that ive already saved up about two thousand points with Juri and i only been playing her a few days...kof netplay made me resort back to AE this entire week that ive been stuck at home, what is the world coming to?! fuckin Juri cant short hop...cant roll...cant neo max...BITCH IS LAME

that being said, james our connection ruled tonight...we must get some online games in again soon. i hate that the arcade is the only time i get serious matches in...i need more than twice a week  :(

So. I have some great news. I don't have all the information just yet, but let me lay this down for you guys.

Some of you many know of the tournament in St. Martin:
http://www.thevideoxgames.com/ (http://www.thevideoxgames.com/)
https://www.facebook.com/thevideoxgames (https://www.facebook.com/thevideoxgames)

There is a chance that if we finalize this. The winner of the Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition 2k12 tournament will win a trip to their tournament. In. The. Caribbean.

So not only is there a bonus pot. And then the regular prize pool. But there would also be a trip to the Video X Games.

Excited?

Oh and we happened to confirm Justin Wong. GG

So yeah. We have DMG and JWong attending to play some Street Fighter. We're also holding a KoF XIII tournament with a $1k top prize!

Indeed! A wild suiname has appeared! Lol I didn't know you were in china, how was it were you there on a business trip? And I haven't been doing much just going through a char crisis lol. I think I might have leveled up but that's up to the ppl that I play to say so, I'm at least top 100 in Chicago =p lol. I also have to play Mario it's been a while so I can see if I really improved and bzerk we never played before. But right now James jr, bzerk, and Mario are the best in the Midwest imo.

And sick another tourney? I honestly think I'm cursed when it comes to tourneys though every time I try to go to one something stupid happens. Last year at Chicago hearts as soon as I arrived registration closed 2 mins before I got there (my fault for being late), frosty faustings I had car problems, ufgt more car probs lol. So I have never really been in a tourney before but Im gonna make it to this one Guaranteed! So I might have to start practicing mahvel and ae again, Jason pick marvel up again and throw dat pheonix on your back!

Is anyone going to GGA next time they have a tournament?  I'd like to play a little bit before Chicago Heart 4.  I've only played 13 on console about 5 times since it came out, that one tournament at GGA months ago being the first.  Console has so many changes over arcade but I can't warrant buying a ps3 again just for a couple games (mine broke).

Anyway I'll be back there soon.  It's been a few months.

Is anyone going to GGA next time they have a tournament?

me, james (n0thin89), efo, duckator, and jesus (kenplayuh) are there on a weekly basis every thursday. theres usually not enough people to run a tournament though...its just casuals. ...VERY HEATED AND SERIOUS CASUALS

idk who to pick

efo, karate works best in any position...shen works best at anchor. its easy as pie to figure that one out!

^THIS.

if youre gunna bust my balls about not having DLC, efo, at least play the DLC characters longer than a couple weeks before your 82nd character crisis (maybe 83rd, whos counting?)

but on the contrary, let me tip my hat to you for going to terry. yesterday's kof stream from nor cal's southtown arcade had such a silly stream chat. so many theory monsters are now mind fucked about who is the best...constantly quoting cafe id's tier list as if thats the final say so. so kudos to you for dropping their 2nd favorite character and picking up somebody who "has to be mid tier cause korea says so".

the game is still young, pick who you like and make them work on your team.

GGs last night at ignite.  Long session with Souf was great, got a bit more used to kensou and chin.  I was glad Josh made it out and we finally got some games in, I don't think I've ever played against a Ryo so I was pretty clueless there.  I wish I could have played Bserk without using Mario's stick, which he got mad at me for blaming for my shitty performance.

I mean I just figured out my play style.... I am a little more defensive and terry meets my gameplay, so does saiki, and kyo, but I didnt like karate because I had to continue to rush down. I like to get the life lead and let my opponents come to me and I messed them up from approaching. I do like karate because he has good specials that I can combo off of but till I get use to the system I am putting him on hold but right now my team is looking like Terry, Saiki, Kyo and in the future it will be Terry, Kyo, Mr.Karate with Saiki as a pocket. I would of kept Ex Kyo but I have to continue being in my opponents face thats why I like Kyo instead of Ex its because I can use my fireball to annoy my opponent to come to me and I knock them out the air. I found my team but I like 4 characters instead of 3.

for a guy who doesnt like pretzels HOW YOU GUNNA RIP ME LIKE THAT, SON?! lol, pizza is a fun snack food, and ill probably have some of yours anyway cause after beers i wont care...but its just bread with red sauce (shout outs to my acid reflux) and cheese. its by no means an entree, it confuses me that its this universal food that everyone is shocked i dont love, and i refuse to put the pussy on a pedestal!

now if we're talkin chicken alfredo pizza...bbq chicken taco pizza...or mac n cheese chorizo pizza...that, my friend, is legit.

Just for the record, KOF is not an anime game. Just because it uses legit 2D sprites doesn't mean it's an anime game. If KOF is an anime game then SF4 is also an anime game, then CVS2 is also an anime game, yata yata yata. KOF is a traditional 2D fighter.

its funny how its always the old school guys (who played those other games you just listed) that are the first to call kof anime as a negative aspect about it. its even funnier cause theyre now hype on persona.

persona is fun and all but im a bit salty haha.

you mean counters from the all out attack?  I could see why you don't like that, but Fatal counters are just counter-hits which change the amount of hitstun you're in allowing for combos that don't work normally, most games have them, including our beloved KOF.

Yeah, but why have counter hits... And then fatal counter hits.

Not counters from all out attacks. when you press a button right before you get thrown (;c + ;d) it's a counter hit.

Well yeah counter hits = more hit stun/juggle anywhere is in every 2d fighting game.

Not sure.  I know counter hit adds the 2 frames of extra hit stun for just that attack, while fatal counter hit adds it for the whole combo.  Not sure why you need both, I guess they wanted the special combo from the all out attack business.

Post by: souf on August 17, 2012, 11:49:02 AM
thats pretty cool about fatal counters being the only way to get it for the whole combo...arcana heart gave you additional damage and stun for an entire combo if it started with a counter...any counter. if you didnt have a burst and had less than half your life lol just get ready for the next round, cause even the most basic counter combo would kill you easily.

but yeah...ggs at gga today.

i wouldve gone to the bowling alley, but its not really an environment to learn anything or level up...i just go there for fun...if there wasnt gunna be anybody to bullshit and drink with, meh fuck it. i wound up partying like 3 blocks away from there anyway haha shouldve stopped in to say hi, but i was too drunk to care.
again, i wish more arcade folk hit those things up...i dont get why none of the IPG guys ever come to the arcades and guys from the arcade never go to the bowling alley. SCENE SEGREGATION! only a small few of us go both ways  ;)

one of you lazy bums need to start bringing your console to GGA from now on lol...we had a big turnout last night, but it feels like nobody really got too many games in since i was the only one that brought my stuff again  :(

except for dan...but he didnt show up till almost midnight. but even if he did come earlier...we had enough people there and there was enough space on the tables for kof to easily have 3 set ups, COME ON GUYS haha

edit: i love that i havent even started my new job yet and im already calling people lazy bums

bah, GGA's price is the same as ignite's "discount".

just saying...the only dude to not complain and just bring his own console instead is duck haha meanwhile everyone else has something to say even though they have it on their console that they dont bring. that makes no sense.

i miss duck, where the fuck has he been hiding...

i can show you some neat little thangz...shes got tricky execution on her DP cancels though, im probably dropping her once i get a better feel for beni. its takes work, but if you get the timing down, you can get a good 600 off half an HD and 1 meter (youll notice thats the combo i usually drop lol), and 930+ off 4 meters and full HD. but combos aside, she has the best anti air normals on my team and an invincible ex DP...shes very solid, i just wish she had a command grab, once shes locked in the corner its a hard life.

im skipping nickel city tonight...gunna get drunk with my mom for her bday. see you guys tomorrow. i dont have a monitor except for my computer monitor, but that needs one of those cords that has the screws on it, i dunno wtf theyre called but yeah, unless anyone has one of those it wont work.

you got it.... also mature is nice but idk ex kyo and saiki have better defensive then mature as much as i love her offense against zoners she has a harder time
Title: Re: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: souf on September 09, 2012, 06:12:50 AM
against zoners she has a harder time

zoning out mature is tricky though cause a well timed DP can punish the fuck out of a fireball spammer, cause even if you dont time it right to punish you can always place it right to cross up. i think if they can zone out a smart mature player, odds are they can zone out a smart kyo too. but yeah, saiki is much better in this particular category...even though you dont see much of this category..mostly rush down.

yooooo goro's DP ground punch is sooooo ass. i dont mean the move itself, i just mean they made it SO lenient. its like sfXt inputs to get it. i wish every DP in this game was as strict as chin's drinks.

i try to do his command grab and get DP by accident. i just tried to jump and got DP. i tried to pause the game and it did his DP instead. wtf, i thought double half circles would be the only annoying hurdle to get over to play this guy.

who wouldve thought that easy inputs would make me dislike a character lol ah well...im heart set on playing unpopular characters, so it must be done...evo made chin too hood famous, gotta move on to the next ironic hipster decision.

saturday is my friends bands final show, i cant miss it. so count me out.
i might be down sunday as long as i dont have work (fuck, its been so long since i said those words...weird)

maxima seems fun, but id rather face my clark demon next. either way, i already started on goro...once i get a feel for him then i can move on to another slow ass grappler if i like it.
i really dont ever wanna play raiden though...back before i got the game hes the only fucking character i would ever see on streams. tier whores bored the fuck out of me with K and raiden always on stream...i dont ever wanna bother with those two.

speaking of which...noah's kyo has been scaring the shit out of me lately...but i seen him struggling against ex kyo, and ex kyo is the only DLC character ive ever been interested in playing...the rest are just cheap and boring imo...will soufside finally cough up the money for DLC just to beat kyo!?!???!

I struggle with ex kyo because that's a character that is designed to combat how I like to play the game. As long as you are smart about rekkas you can just stay on the ground and bully. Armor dp makes safe jumps not work right. I can get the hang out beating him after playing him for a while. Lots of lows and normals that don't hit his upper body (like kyo st.d). Theory! But yeah I hate that character and he bores me too much to play him.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene

Hey fellas, I was at a local KOF tournament and we were talking about the Illinois vs MN 5v5, and we are totally down for that for Frosty Faustings on the 29th of December. If you guys can talk to the TO's to make it an official event, that would be really dope to insure that it gets ran and shown on the stream. It would be even great if we can get more states to participate for a full Midwest 5v5.

Let me know how you guys feel about that.

Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: desmond_kof on September 27, 2012, 05:16:04 PM
i just heard back from the man behind FF. he is into the idea of a 5v5! only issue is that kof is very time consuming so not all matches will be streamed. so please do what you gotta do to figure out the 5 representing MN asap and then let me know who you guys think should be some key match ups that you would like to be on stream. im sure we can get a handful of matches up, or if we do a gauntlet we can probably get through 1 or 2 full cycles of it...just not all of them!

think about it and let me know. we have a while to ponder on it, but come late october/november im sure hes gunna want the stream schedule all ironed out.

Sup, I think we already have a 5 man team already which will be myself, Tones, Grublet, Josh and Azula.

As far as the stream schedule, yes I understand it can take up a lot of time, especially since KOF will already be featured in the stream as the singles event. If worst comes to worst, we MIGHT have to just do it only offstream before or after the tournament somehow, because I know the singles tournament will take long by itself. Also, I think we should also open this 5v5 to other Midwest states that are interested too. If that happens, it will take much longer. Too bad Frosty's is just a one day event, lol...because we did the Dc vs PowerUp 5v5 on Friday while the main singles tournament was held on Saturday...

We might have to brainstorm a time for this 5v5 somehow. I really want this to happen!
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: n0thin89 on September 27, 2012, 10:02:16 PM
This 5v5 is going to happen no matter what.

I would like to open the 5v5 to other Midwest states too. But if we do that then that's most likely going to be off-stream. Anybody know if other midwest states play KOFXIII and has at least 5 players to come through?

I went 0-2. Really big letdown for me. First set was down to pixels and I chose the wrong move to try and chip with the wrong move. Second set was against Samson from KC who I've yet to beat in tournament (but go sort of even with), but with that bad loss I just couldn't pull it together. Luckily SG had a pot bonus so at least I didn't feel like I wasted all my money this weekend.

Also, Denny's.

Looking forward to taking a bit of a break. Definitely need some time to clear my head before getting back in it.

Post by: souf on October 03, 2012, 09:28:37 PM
to stream sucka! i want to start streaming whenever noah hosts at his house...im moving to the northwest side this january so im gunna stream from my place when i have people over...and im gunna talk to that guy jon about streaming from his place when he hosts tekken sessions at his place in logan square.

possibly some other stuff too (it rhymes with "mig-knight"), wanna find out if theyre interested first before i start blabbing about it on the internet though. but i trust the 4 or 5 of us who actually read this thread will keep that on the down low  ;)

lol, im most likely gunna find myself in logan square again...next to my place in rogers park, that was the cheapest rent i ever paid. so yeah..

as for stream names go, i already have the twitch username "soufsidehair" ...ill probably just make one as "soufside" since its a little easier for people to remember/retweet/recite/etc. the only name i have to worry bout is thinking of a better name for the ranbats on mondays. "monday night ignite" or "monday night fights" are weak...we can come up with better.

but yeah, i still must talk with sam or whoever is in charge there...i hope theyre as into it as i am. otherwise i just put hundreds of dollars down on streaming equipment for casuals at noah's house hahaha

ah weak, game pazzo provided a ton of ps3's elsewhere in the venue...kinda lame that dude took up the last one left in the FGC area to play borderlands when there were plenty of open tv's over by the other people playing shooters. i had my kof on me, we couldve had 2 going all night. but oh well i guess...next time im gunna practice my little big planet skills.

sam hit me back up, hes into the idea, we're chatting bout it this monday. i get off work at 9:30, see yall there  :)

Lightning loops are stupid hard.

People want to come over again on Monday? How would tuesday work for people? I might want to do that instead (or even both?) Although this tuesday I might have jury duty. Regardless, please come over. I am oh so lonely.

I think they usually start around 8pm. Sometimes they hold up on sign-ups to wait on more people. Last week we had 2 setups with DLC and 1 setup with no DLC. I thought it went by pretty fast even though we started late.

 I say to watch Wreck it Ralph as it was a good movie filled with many funny gaming references but dont expect it to be ALL about video game references. It does have a story to tell. BUt it really boils down to watching a serious movie or a funny one. Whatever you're in the mood for.

GGs to Carlos, Efo, Noah, and Jonathan at Noah's house of pain.

Also, this... Frosty Faustings schedule. Cool, I could just play serious from the get-go. Also meaning if I lose in singles I will play super pissed in the exhibition.

Schedule

11:00 AM: Registration
12:00 PM: GGXXAC, SSFIVAE, MK9, P4A tournaments begin
The remaining 4 singles tournaments will start a few hours later depending on how quickly the brackets for the first 4 games advance so that we can start switching out consoles.

Finals for all games will be streamed. Brackets for all games will run until the finals, in which case they will be paused until ready to be streamed.

GGXXAC teams and special exhibition will start after GGXXAC singles finals.

KOF special exhibition will start after KOF singles finals are finished.

Consoles for each game
GGXXAC – PS3
SSFIVAE – 360
UMvC3 – 360
P4A – 360
KOF – PS3
MK9 – PS3
TT2 – PS3
SG – PS3

Most likely. I would advise posting in the srktips thread and ask

Also, we should post up in the MN thread and get their team list so we can post up the rules and get the word out.

Not really. I just wanted to know how hard sans-culotte is. Lol. Let's see starter swag... I guess just watch mr. Kof and memorize stuff from there. Also, shoutouts to Jonathan almost landing a complete sans-culotte combo. Swag-matic.

Hey fellas, I'm still trying to find out what time and how we will be doing our 5v5 exhibition? After the KOF finals singles is good but I hope it isn't super late in the night. Will the exhibition be streamed at all? It seems that the schedule seems hella busy. :P
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: bzerk on November 28, 2012, 11:03:16 PM
we could always just have someone record the 5v5 and upload it later on.  hopefully we can get it streamed though. im also curious as to who will be on the 5v5?

I'm thinking of leaving the last spot on the team to a vote on The Facebook group.

Who should take the last spot on the Chicago 5v5 team?
1. Humbag (James Cardoni)
2. Bzerk (Brandon Simms)
3. Other
4. None of the above

We could still do poll posts on the Facebook group, right?

Just put it on the FB, along with announcing the one's chosen. Just as well, we should go over the rules.

Were people ok with Waseda style? Refresher: Given that teams consist of players a-e, the matches will go a1 vs a2, b1 vs. b2, and so on. Winners stay alive on the team, losers are eliminated (single matches). I like this way because it ensures we showcase everyone on each team.

If we just do 1 set then the maximum number of matches would be 9, and would certainly be short enough to go on stream. We can talk to our stream operator as well as bozac to try and get a set schedule known and passed around, but in the event that it would be too late we can record it off stream. One thing to note is that depending on how stuff runs, KoF finals might have to wait to be streamed, so that's something to consider.

Thanks for the shoutout, Im still trying trying to get it down. Everytime i hit Training mode I feel like Im closer and closer to getting a sans-culotte finished (I've done so a few times). But doing it in a real match is a different story. Atelast im getting the Anti air sans culotte :D part. Mr. KoF where are you when i need you. Or Lacid.

Hey Chicago brothers. While myself and the KOF crew are assembling transportation together for Frosty's, we have also ran into a little potential problem. Housing. We would like to know if any of you guys (that knows myself, Tones and Kevin personally) would be comfortable and interested in housing us 5 for the weekend, mostly late Friday until early Sunday. We will promise to be respectful and courteous, and it will help us play our best for the tournament and exhibition. We are on a tight budget (which is why we can't book a hotel) but we can give whatever we can to whomever grants us hospitality.

Thank you in advance.

Please post up if you can make it out tomorrow around 3 for a couple hours of games. Would like to get more confirmations so that It makes sense to have it. I have some friends in town so i can't play much, and if not enough people confirm then I just have to cancel, unfortunately.

Top 4:
1. AGE|Mario
2. James Jr.
3. Jamarr
4. Grublet

Top 8...?
5. Desmond Delaghetto
5. Sparkster
7. Suiname
7. Duckator?

5v5 Illinois vs Minnesota KOFXIII
1. King of Bums(Raiden, Hwa, Kim) beat Tones(K', Takuma, Terry)
2. Luis 312(Kyo, EX Iori, Chin) beat Grublet(EX Iori, Ash, Kim)
3. NCV(Kensou, Vice, Yuri) lost to Josh G(Duo Lon, K', EX Kyo)
4. James Jr.(Duo Lon, Kim, Terry) beat Desmond Delaghetto(King, Kyo, Kim)
5. AGE|Mario(Random) beat Azula(?, Claw Iori, Elisabeth)
6. Luis 312(Kyo, EX Iori, Chin) beat Josh G (Duo Lon, K', EX Kyo)

Illinois beats Minnesota 5-1.

The 5v5 was recorded by EFOSAnity. So you know it's pretty ghetto.

No problem, man. We pad players are broken that's why we cheat with shoulder buttons. Lol. Also, thanks for making me realize that I'm the only pad player in Chicago/Illinois. We pad players gotta stick together.

Ggs to all of the IL players. You all exposed a ton of holes in my game. It was a lot of fun though, and I learned a lot. I hope to play y'all again sometime.

Most definitely want to play you again in the future, nothing but up for you and the rest of the crew. Hopefully this Frosty's experience will make you realize something and dramatically improve your game as did my first Frosty's experience last year (Playing King at anchor, lol wtf).

I might not be at winter brawl. I'm gonna try to find a ride/flight for final round. I'll be at UFGT for sure because it's right next to me, lol. Evo, I'm going if KOF is a main game, which it should be, and hopefully I get a room at the venue unlike last year.

Do you live in the city or the burbs?  We basically have 2 places weekly where we play, Mondays at Ignite network which is in the city proper (Elston just north of Belmont), and Fridays at Game Pazzo which is in Downers Grove.  Generally our KOF scene is more consistently present at Ignite on Mondays since most of us live in the city, but we also go to Pazzo frequently too.

tyler said i can crash at his place in the bay...so i was considering going to NCR. never been to san francisco...so that shit would be fun.

also, i think its safe to say that ALL road to evo tourneys will have kof since its at evo. so even though the games havent been announced, im booking my room for ufgt soon...if anybody needs a roommate, let me know soon cause i dont wanna drive there and back everyday. and james if you need a room speak up now! haha dont wait until 4 minutes before we're passing out and ask if you can crash on the chair again, lets plan this out so we have a legit pair of kof rooms close to each other for all the mexicans to come play!

Hey I haven't posted in a while.

Lets play a lot of kof tomorrow. Although I will be taking a bit of a break to talk with Sam about stuff, I think.

Also James, would you be interested in doing training sessions for KoF. My idea is to have a block of time dedicated for coaching sessions, then people sign-up for like 20 minute blocks of 1-on-1 training. It's not much different from playing with newer players now but if we have something to showcase for it then I think it might get some people out of the woodwork.

Looks like I gotta think of a lesson plan.

If you do coach people on KOF, you should have a clip board and a whistle.  That would be awesome.

I think ignite still has them clip boards from the last place. Whistle, I don't have one. I should get a headphones with a mic and a offensive/defensive coordinator.

Hi, Efo.

Efo, you should just always bring your camera to record if it's not terribly inconvenient.  I would love to have stuff recorded that I can watch during the week to critique my gameplay.  Everyone could probably benefit from it, including yourself.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: NCV on January 14, 2013, 05:52:03 PM
lol james already working on his overbearing coaching demeanor.

The coaching sessions will NOT be starting today, and is NOT something for open discussion amongst people outside of this page. I posted openly here because we are a small group and it was easiest to contact James through. If you all have any ideas feel free to post up but nobody go around town talking about how awesome coaching is going to be, which it will be.

James, once we work stuff out with ignite as to how it exactly will work I will let you know, but I wouldn't worry too much about making a plan. My idea would that prospective students would come to the coaches with what they wanted to learn/get better at, then you would go into matches with that in mind, and take the time after the match to explain, expand, and demonstrate their findings. Perhaps even go into training mode to work on some of those things. Say the student says they want to train better reactions, you could try jumping at them within different blockstrings to have them dp it. That sort of thing.

I also concur with recording some casuals. The more play we have recorded of ourselves, the better.

GGs to Bum, Kenneth, Randal, and Jerome at game pazzo. Sadly our small round robin tourney got cancelled due to the person with the only other setup having to leave early. I would've used mine but it was being used as the only Guilty Gear setup for its tournament (which was also amazing). Hopefully we can get a better turnout next time.

Kenneth I'm unsure of as this is the first time i've seen the person but he also plays persona. I don't know if they have Dream Cancel accounts so i made mention of their names if they are lurkers by chance. I should ask jerome to join, I forgot about him.

According to google maps, it's a 5-hour drive from where I am, and right next to St. Louis. I doubt I'll be able to go out there, unless they come out here Saturday then I'll probably check it out.

i wish i could go to final round...dat tekken. but whatever, its too short notice. CEO is a no go as well, i can only do NCR cause tyler is letting me stay with him so i wont need to find a place.

as for EVO, im rooming with mike, dave, and ray...bunch a street fightin goons. hopefully you guys arent too far from my room!

also, big news...the man himself MEDINA will be accompanying me to ignite this monday to help us trouble shoot my capture card. he insists that its fine and that i dont have to return it, so we will see! noah, are your mics still there?

Now we gotta get Hero to enter kof again, and other kof players to show up... aka Bzerk, Skillz, TJL, Kimkaphan, Conway, Phreak, Wifooooo, Randal, Luis, Humbag, NIU John Dew, another NIU guy/I don't remember his name, Ken Playuh, Patrick/Joe player that stun combo Mario, King of Bums, Jerome, Byron, and Worduptho... all at the same time and we should be fine.

I think Efo and I are going. Maybe Souf too. But I'll check it out if other players go tonight. It opens at 5pm.

Idk if we have to bring a setup. But I'll bring mine just incase. I heard their TVs aren't laggy.

Exp gaming is a really nice place. The TVs are fine to me. I couldn't tell if there was a lag difference between that and the asus monitors. Also, one of the exp people are ok with us bringing our own stuff and choosing whichever day we are down to play there.

I like the place. All the kof players should figure out a day that is good to play so we could finally all show up at the same time.

What's the venue fee at this place?  Honestly I don't see myself being able to make it often, the best days for me are Monday and Friday and those are already in use.  If you guys wanted to play there on Fridays instead of Pazzo though, I could totally get down since it's way closer.  But don't tell Domingo or he might try to nuke this place...
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: FOG~E on March 15, 2013, 05:23:57 PM

It's $5 when Efo, Luis, and I went there last night. Then $5 for a tournament. I wonder if it's still $5 if we show up on a different day, that'll be cool for us. I would really like to get most if not all the kof players to show up to this place.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: Suiname on March 15, 2013, 06:11:23 PM
Yeah, sounds good.  If you do it on Thursdays I could make it every once in a while, but probably not too often.  It's not all about me though, so do whatever's good for everyone.  Everyone level up, UFGT is around the corner and there's a lot of strong players coming.

keep in mind we can meet at my new crib every other week starting in april. either tuesdays or thursdays. lets figure out which one should be which day. id say the deciding factor should be the price for EXP on tuesdays. if thursday is their only $5 deal, then that decides that.

we can even do fridays at my place once in a while...sometimes im lazy or just dont feel like wasting the gas going all the way to pazzo when all us kof guys live closer to each other than that. like tonight, im not going. catch yall at ignite...i need to save gas

I wouldn't say "all" kof guys live in the city. There are some suburb players out there and just some freakin far(IFD players/NIU players).

I wanna take advantage of what is offered at exp tho. Nice place, nice chairs, nice floors... Just nice overall. Plus he's allowing us to bring our own things. I forgot to mention that if we(kof players) come on a different day, he said to call them up and let them know. The exp guy I talked to is named "Bobby". Maybe he could hook/help us out if we negotiate/talk it out.

I'm looking forward to next Thursday. You should go Mike and use that sweet talk. Everybody should go to this place and check it out... If they're off, of course.

Hey how do you do the Ex Iori rekka cancels. I am doing the  ;dn ;df ;fd ;df ;dn ;db ;bk ;a but I am doing it so fast that I get DM to come out. Also does it matter what rekkas I use because I am doing two ;a version rekkas. Just to be clear I am not trying to play Ex Iori but practicing rekka cancels seems to help Mr. Karate and Ryo midscreen HD combos.
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: Suiname on March 18, 2013, 06:10:22 PM
Rekka cancels are just really hard man, even Mario says so.  Basically unless you are godlike, you should probably only be trying to rekka empty cancel when you don't have a drive stock, otherwise like you've already seen, your super will come out.

Have to try regardless... Maybe I am doing it too fast but I am suppose to enter the DM motion before the second rekka or during the second rekka?

you can do it either way, I find it's a bit easier to do it after the 2nd one, but I've seen it done both ways.

Suiname question Ex Kyo he is mainly rush down right / safe jump or is that the other Kyo
Title: Re: Chicago Area/ midwest Scene
Post by: Suiname on March 18, 2013, 09:52:02 PM
IMO EX Kyo is all about bullying your opponent and controlling space.  He has a ton of safe jump setups because a lot of his bnbs and combos end in hard knockdown.  You can watch that safe jump setup video to get a good idea, but basically anytime you end in run grab or in the corner the light rekka chain, you get a free safe jump against pretty much the entire cast.  He builds a ton of meter, so I think he's best on point, but you can probably put him anywhere.

The Efo vs Bzerk match can only happen if Bzerk comes, obviously. Doubt it tho.

Ok so did not know about these two matches but at Game Pazzo this Friday I will gladly do a first to 10 with GLB since last week at Ignite we tied when we played each other in casuals and for the "The Smartest Black Guy" title Bzerk can have it but I will play FT 10 against him anyways.

Hey guys this is Bobby, co-owner of EXP Gaming. I dunno if any of you are interested in the new game Injustice: Gods Among Us. But we are planning on holding a late night launch tournament the night it is released. Time frame will likely be 12:30am-3:30am. We'll have multiple copies and casuals/friendlies are allowed. $5 per person. If competing then an additional $5 into the pot.
THIS WILL ONLY HAPPEN IF WE GET ENOUGH RSVPs.
If you are interested then let me know on here or whenever you come by EXP again.

Hey since we don't consistently get KOF players every Thursday we won't be advertising Thursdays as a KOF tournament day.  To those of you who do show up occasionally if there is a better day that you could and would show up more consistently then please let me know so I could post a weekly/biweekly event for that day.

It’s a little different this time. Players can pay $1 to receive 3 raffle tickets. You then challenge one another to a 2/3 (3/5 for UMvC3) match in ANY game to play for those tickets. At the end of the night the person with the most tickets will get the whole stash of dollars. Just as well we’re adding a pot bonus if enough people enter: Ignite will match the pot with 25+ entrants.

GGs, UFGT was hella fun and hype. I learned a lot of from my matches in tournament and the various exhibitions I had with people. You guys going to Bloodbath and Beyond in June?

Most likely. Gotta confirm with some people first because I forgot who wants to go. lol.

Does anyone here play kof 2k2 um?  I think 13 is a good game and I realize what it did for the scene but seeing how it's aging a bit it seems more acceptable to play a kof that might be a little bit older yet is far superior.

Anyone who plays still should come to NEC this year, there is a $1,000 pot FREE ENTRY tournament so show your support. Link to the thread is  here (http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?topic=3345.0) so make travel arrangements, request days off, save your coins starting now because if you live anywhere NEAR this side of the country and miss this one not due to school or work obligations, you will regret it. Hope to see all KOF players there.
