Dallas-Fort Worth Meetups

[mightfo]

Looks like we'll have between 6 and 11(or even more if the denton melty players come by, any word on that, oldboy?) people total saturday. Pretty typical. Will have 3 setups even if dark geese ends up not able to come.

Honestly, I find that looking over matches I had with him to be a very helpful tool. It helps me recognize my mistakes so I can work on breaking bad habits. But I understand if this makes other people uncomfortable. I can ask him to not bring his recording equipment if that is what you prefer. I'm sure he's not expecting a lot of competiton, but he likes to teach others so it works out.

On the flip side I got him to play BB for the first time only a few weeks ago. Believe me, whatever he does to us in kof we will have returned upon him in BB.

Oh yeah, i understand that. I wish I had recorded matches of my losses in BB/AH3, and i'd love that for XIII. But 2002um is not something i've really put time into(for various reasons) though its nice for getting used to KOF in general.

But yeah, with regards to that, pretty much what oldboy said. I'm excited that DG is going to be at meetups, that will really help us get good at XIII i feel.

I'll try to make it to the first weekend you guys play XIII since I'm not sure if it'll be the weekend of Thanksgiving or the weekend after. I'm not super great with my execution and I'm still trying to learn the basics so hopefully I'll learn a lot from this experience.

Sounds good! We'll have a good time and help you get better. I'll be hosting either the 25th or 26th, but I wont be hosting the following weekend due to finals crunch time.

Nice to see you signed up on here, mightfo.  Good luck with getting things rolling in Dallas (though it sounds like that's already coming along nicely *laughs* )!  Got a few friends down in Texas, so I might come out there one of these days to get bodied.

Yup, thanks! It'd be nice to get some matches in with you.

[PureYeti]

Yea that was really a fun experience and it was nice to meet everyone in person. I can't wait for next time to play again. I forgot to eat the rest of the pizza before I left lol.

[mightfo]

Also, Taoftw posted this on dustloop, may be relevant to one of you:

Greetings people.

There's a good possibility that I might be moving to Dallas-Fort Worth area after New Years. Anyone there have an open room for me to rent? If so, then send me a PM please. Thanks.

[MetalThrashingMadman]

DG has already posted some vids of yesterday on his channel. So far he only has the matches between me and him, but I'm sure he'll have the rest up soon.

11-12-11 DFW 2k2UMT Cas: Dark Geese vs. MTMM

11-12-11 DFW 2k2UMT Cas: Dark Geese vs. MTMM 2

The very end of the second video has a funny moment where we both do supers and it makes the game slowdown. I'll post the rest when it is up.

[PureYeti]

Haha it was definitely a showdown who will hit first. Ugh I should have use the stick instead of the ps2 controller.

[MetalThrashingMadman]

More vids from Saturday. This should be the rest of them. Unfortunately the footage of me vs. oldboy is absent. Hopefully DG just forgot to upload them.

11-12-11 DFW 2k2UMT Cas: Dark Geese vs. Oldboy

Hosting again saturday, same time, same place, though IIRC most of you said that next time you'll come is the weekend after kof13, but whatever~

http://shoryuken.com/2011/11/14/levelup-king-of-fighters-xiii-pre-release-stream-event/ !!!

Also, metal, ill pm you some valk info later this week. BTW you may want to link those videos instead of embed them next time, i think it lags the page a bit...

[oldboy]

KOFXIII Benimaru corner throw combo. I already love this game.

[MetalThrashingMadman]

I'm afraid embedding is the dreamcancel way. But honestly I find the slowdown to be mild, even on my android.

I'm still a bit pissed about those matches that didn't get recorded. Not because I won them (though that is nice), but because they were the best I played all day. My training with DG finally seemed to be bearing fruit.

I know I said I wouldn't come this weekend, but I have gotten hungry for more competition. DG says he'll be there this weekend as well.

[mightfo]

A few things:

-I WILL PROBABLY HOST BOTH FRIDAY AND SATURDAY 25TH AND 26TH, AKA WEEKEND AFTER KOF13 IS OUT! GET HYPE
-TBF6 added kof13. $5 fee. $5 for venue, $5 for bb and kof each, so should be very reasonable! I will probably go. http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/dec-10-2011-ucc-texas-bar-fights-tournament-round-vi-plano-tx.149154/
-Mixed news on KOF13 netcode. On one hand, it uses GSS, which was the netcode base for kof12. On the other, someone with decent knowledge said NGBC also uses GSS(and ngbc imo has the best non-ggpo netcode ever), and damdai(supercade guy) reportedly was hired by SNK To help with netcode. So, may be awesome.

MTMM, if you could ask darkgeese to bring a spare ps2 stick next time, that would be helpful...unless he's someone who got an early copy of kof13. :3

[MetalThrashingMadman]

He doesn't use sticks so I don't even know if he has one. I have a couple though so I'll bring one. Might bring my own setup as well.

I'll see if I can make it to there

[mightfo]

just a heads up, metal/darkgeese: not a whole lot of attendance tomorrow it looks like, aside from you and i just 3 maybes from dustloop
weekend of kof13 is looking good tho

[mightfo]

good meetup, only had metal/darkgeese/eric but it was good

no shoutouts this time, mostly played kof2002um, but got in more really good litchi vs carl with eric
did pretty well with kof2002um vs darkgeese for a while but he switched to a large variety of characters and i got blown up especially by his zoners and also goddd pressure from nameless and others.
was good experience though, hype for kofxiii, will be much less scrubby in that hopefully
had some fun light matches with metal in bb after eric/dg left

i had to use a fucking american bat stick for kof2002um though rofl, only ps2 stick they had  but it wasnt too terrible. buttons were weird too though

still, good meetup. really hype for next week. dg will come saturday then. DAT KOF13
