Sup guys. Just starting off a thread for the New England peeps playing KOF. Post up if you're going to play peeps within the New England area. Post for gatherings, casuals, tournaments, etc. If you wanna introduce yourself, that's also cool. Tell us what state you're from and what team of characters you're playing. I'm from Springfield, Massachusetts. I'm currently working with Kula, Iori (flames), and Yuri. Currently playing on Xbox but will grab a PS3 copy as soon as the netcode patch comes out. Hopefully we can this thread going!

Awesome, thanks for posting up! I updated the OP. I think I have you as a friend on Xbox Live. Once the netcode patch comes out, we should play some games sometime!
Good good. This is something I like to see. I need to get my KoF up.
Sho is in there. Glad to see we've got an NE thread now.
Edit: Could not for the life of me figure out how avatars are supposed to work so I just used the Freddie one they have. Just as good I'd say.
Don't forget there's Wednesday night casuals at Gaming ETC

All I did was take a picture I liked, cropped it to a square, and uploaded it. It resized it for me lol. I kinda wish I can get a higher quality pic.
Also, I'm thinking about going to Game Underground tonight. If I go, I'll bring an Xbox KOF setup. I have DLC characters as well. Anyone else thinking of dropping by?
If I lived closer to Framingham, I'll go to Games Underground a lot. Last time I was there, I spent the whole time playing drummania in the back and kind of gave up on the KOF tourney. lol
I tend to forget that GU is a Bemani hotspot even though I have a friend who will always play one or two games of Beatmania IIDX there. I guess the blaring J-Pop and Eurobeat help me play better lol.

I stand by what I said.
Okay after some research I've decided to start doing $5 Day Passes EVERY DAY I'm open at Ultimate Gaming Spot:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ultimate-Gaming-Spot/225442120852710 (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ultimate-Gaming-Spot/225442120852710)
Meaning you pay $5 and play ALL DAY! Fight Nights are now gonna be Thurs and Saturdays, however if there are open machines (usually there are) I'm not against popping in KOF XIII.
I had my first tournament on the 18th of December:
(http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/387301_259650680765187_225442120852710_753521_782373685_n.jpg)
(http://a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/399187_259653344098254_225442120852710_753526_517412287_n.jpg)

And frankly, there were not enough entrants for KOF XIII so people only played casuals.
Now beyond that, I've changed the space layout so there is a lot more room for gaming and now the place feels more like an arcade:
(http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/s720x720/409466_262134687183453_225442120852710_759324_2093399185_n.jpg)
Like the facebook to stay up to date and stop by some time!
Put your venue in the OP. Cheeseburger looks too happy with that money lol.
I'm gonna be honest My lack of a car makes it hard to come out to most sessions but I'll watch out for events and try to come through more often.Loving XIII too much to miss out
I also have no transportation. I usually rely on other people for rides but don't let that stop you from hosting meet ups yourself (unless your neighbors or housemates have a problem with noise). I'm going to try to make it up to GU again on Friday. I'll most def be playing KOF.
I'm just gonna go ahead and introduce myself.
Tag is Haruko Zao (Just Haruko or Zao is fine :P)
Located in Providence, RI
Still super-not-good at KoFXIII, but I'm willing to learn. Currently playing Andy/King/Benimaru
Right now I'm broke, but soon I'll be getting bank to pay for transportation
If anyone wants to stop by and get in some games, that'd be cool too (I don't have Live :<)
Welcome, Haruko! Also, I'm going to try to make it to GU tonight (tonight as in Friday night cuz I feel like being literal). If anyone else plans on showing up, post up! I usually tend to bring an Xbox setup but if I know KOF heads will show up, I'll dedicate that setup to KOF. If HalfEmpty's going, he'll bring one too. We both have DLC characters as well.

Shut up and come to Why's on Saturday.
BTW, Tails. I'm challenging you to that ft10 crossdressing set. Winner has to wear women's clothing at next casuals. I am dead serious about this btw.
Crown, I hope you win. Mainly because I never want to see Tales in women's clothing. EVER.
This is X_Sword from SRK. Just checking in. tired of that DJ BS on SRK but oh well;shit happens -_-
I'm expecting some KOF players tomorrow (Saturday) so if anyones interested come down to UGS.
Saturday SUPERCADE!
With Special Guest Game:
VIRTUAL-ON ORATORIO TANGRAM: The 4th Tournament Replay(DNA) 1 of 3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMspOhysP4I#ws)
VOOT needs some love! Of course we got plenty of fight stations, so come get your KOF XIII on!
shouts to everybody here. If it's KoF @ GU, I'm in there. anytime I'm there my setup is as well, and the next time they host a tourney there I plan to run it.
my car is finally returning to a fully functional state this week so I may even plan to make it by Gill's place FINALLY. I dunno if my man 8088 has made it by yet but I know he's planned to as well.
NE KOF, we in there.
Goddammit lol even on a KoF forum I can't avoid Doug's shit eating smile.
Anyway this is looking like a much better place to chat since SRK is back down the shitter.
I plan on going to the next GU tournament so I'm hoping I'll catch some KoF action there.
Since I don't own the game I'll probably be pretty far behind but eh, gotta start somewhere.
I was at the GU tournament on Dec 17. Got completely annihilated in the kof tournament. Can't say I'll be there next time since it's hard to get there from boston without a car but I may check out the place in dedham one of these days.
Last GU tournament was incredibly fun! Lots of good players, and I get to play my most beloved drummania.

Lol, let's get some games next time. There's gonna be a tournament in CT on 1/22, everyone here should go.
If I come into some money, I'll show up to CT on the 22nd. I had a lot of fun playing with you last time, Freddy.
Also, some KOF action in CT: http://www.twitch.tv/fzinc (http://www.twitch.tv/fzinc)

GGs!
I, also, can't seem to find any threads about it or anything, Freddy. I checked SRK just in case, but nothing. Is it those ranbats that Bacardi was talking about?
ALSO! I'm looking to get some KOF casuals going on at my place in Springfield, MA. If anyone wants to drop by, just let me know what day is good for you guys. I have 1 EVO monitor and 2 CRTs. As for systems, I have 1 Xbox with KOF and one PS3 without KOF. So I would either need one KOF13 for PS3 and another console with the game or 2 Xboxes with the game. I could run other games but I primarily wanna focus on KOF. So hit me up peeps!
Yeah, it's the ranbats that Bacardi was talking about. Not sure if KOF will have ranking points, but there will be a tournament for it regardless. The first one starts next Sunday. I'll post when there's more information.
Awesome. Thanks man!
It's official! Tournament coming up this Sunday at Gaming ETC in Stratford, CT (address in top post)
This is the beginning of a ranbat series, the top player with most ranking points in KOF, AE, and UMVC3 get a free ticket to EVO!
More details to follow....
Excellent. Whenever you can, do you think you can post up the details and stuff in the Upcoming Tournaments section of DC then post the link here? You can copy and paste the thread from SRK if they have it up already lol.
Sure, just waiting for Walter to edit the official thread. I'll post it when I see it.

Good shit, Freddy. I can see you definitely haven't been slacking. Also great to see Jeremy up there as well. I know he's been working hard at this game.
Thanks, man. I still have to learn the Ash matchup. Last time your Ash destroyed me, and this time Jeremy's Ash made me look clueless.... :(
He's been working harder with Ash than I have. He even taught me some shit that I didn't know about.
what's good dudes. Eighty88, Grim and myself went out to big two last week. I've been feeling like SHIT ever since but I'm starting to get better and will at least be around for games this weekend. I'd like to make it down to UGS on saturday but I'm workin until 5... if KoF didn't run until like... 6 then, yeah, it'd work.
not gonna have anybody cut it close on account of me though. I plan to at least come out to GU friday night with my setup so if u want some get at me there.

Thanks for the heads up on the patch. I just downloaded it now but haven't been able to find a match yet lol. If anyone wants some netplay matches to test this netcode, hit me up on Xbox Live. My gamertag is "kona distorted"

However I will be @ Ultimate Gaming Spot Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Even though Thursday and Saturday are the Fight Nights people can come in and play whatever. Me being a fighter at heart am ready to play whatever.
I will have the WinterBrawl stream in store so we can root for our NE brethren, so if you need a place to hang out come see me!
sup dudes, we got a tournament in fall river this saturday and I am TRYING LIKE HELL to get people out there for KoF. I'm outta Braintree, I'll be bringing 8088 up at least, and if you're relatively near me and play KoF, LOOK ME THE HELL UP.
as it stands, KoF isn't on the bill. lets change that. look me up and give shouts on the thread and the facebook event. lets get KoF in there.

I'll try playing you over XBL. My gamertag is "kona distorted".
Hey guys. TNT Pizza will be back in action for this Wednesday! We plan on running some small tournaments that day too.

IT'S TIME FOR KOF IN MA AGAIN.
this one's gonna be a big one guys. we've got players comin in from MA, NJ, NYC, maybe PI, who knows where else, east coast is COMIN OUT for this one. there has been a $600 dollar pot bonus put up to be split between SFxT, UMVC3 and SSFIV; AE2012, and a -LOT- of competition has been attracted by this fact. so, let's take this opportunity to get KoF in there for MA one more time!
I will be bringing one KoF setup with a HANNS-G monitor and full character roster. I need to get another one in there between today and saturday but that won't be a problem. we plan to make the tournament 10 bucks a head, which I can set up brackets for on tonamento via laptop. the event will be streamed by bifuteki all day.
I've been bringing KoF out and about in MA since release and the tournament at Game Underground last weekend - link = http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/masshole-clash-gameunderground-5-12-2012-framingham-ma-results.160309/ (http://shoryuken.com/forum/index.php?threads/masshole-clash-gameunderground-5-12-2012-framingham-ma-results.160309/) - was the largest showing we've had yet. I was very pleased to get 15 people in on KoF that day and was glad to see some fierce competition in the final set on stream, but obviously, KoF13 deserves EVEN BETTER than that.
so let's make this happen! get out to fall river on saturday and show the east coast that KoF is the truth and MA fucking plays it!
