I'm not even gonna lie, KOF in SD is mad hard to do... But, I do appreciate you guys' effort and dedication... You also gotta take in consideration that there are some cats in the military who go out to sea and such, so that does put a damper on our scene... I happen to be doing shore duty, so I lucked out... We gotta get Eugene back on KOF as well (the Athena/Yuri/Mai[¿?] player), 'cause I know he shows up to watch, but might get maybe one match... Our scene is kinda more than 3 people though, but we're the ones who manage to show up more than others...
As for TTF, I'd like to go, but I goto CO for the Think Tank, as I'm working on some projects with Beau and Alí, and that's where we meet up from 6-8pm... Every once and awhile, we do go have a match or two in KOF and BF... I managed to show off both SFEX2 (best SF since ST imo), and I just showed off MBAACC as well...
With regards to not crushing cats, well, I'ma be real with you... I picked up Kensou with that sole purpose of having a character that I can use without blowing people up... Look what happened--- I'm working on Ralf, and might possibly get back on Elizabeth again... I mean, even if we do pick other characters for the sake of not merking dudes and pushing them off, even with basic fundamentals, we're still at an advantage... We'd eventually have to dumb our game down, and that can have a backwards effect and mess our game up...
WildWallace, you're right about all of those points... I know my monitor is good for the price I got... To my knowledge I don't drop frames, but I know someone's gonna be beefing if it's not a CRT or a Asus monitor...
Oh yeah, Rhythmaxed, for tourneys, you can use Challonge.com to write up brackets, or you can use this:

I know the scene isn't dead though... I look at the GG/MB/AH scenes and they're barely there, some living further up north and others are scattered about... The VF scene starts with me, then jumps all the way to Riverside, and others again are scattered throughout SoCal, but it's like how KOF is in MN, where cats live too far away from even being able to battle frequently... We're not that bad from the looks of it...
Lastly, as for the vids:
The quality for the vids are meh, so I ended up getting a Roxio Game Capture, which actually works wonders for not being an Avex or Hauppauge... I'm currently trying to upgrade the quality of the vids, which I managed to do for another vid awhile ago, but it's taking awhile... Nevertheless, they're gonna get uploaded... I'm actually more excited for next Monday, since I'll be recording with better quality, and less cables...
