The official promotion campaign to drag a player out from JP has begun. We've been keeping them in the know for a while about the upcoming major, and we're setting full sail from here on out. One of the things I need help with is creating a player list of people who strongly intend on going.

The point of this thread will be to impress the Japanese players with competition. If you're up to the cut, post your name and a link to what you consider to be some of your best play. Preferably, the match should be close and entertaining (not you styling on a scrub). If you want to include one other link (such as a Twitter account) inform me of that also.

Also tell me if you want me to put your name into Japanese. For example, GenericSuperHero would be ジェネリックスーパーヒーロー(or, jyenerikku suupaahiirou) or Lord Knight would be ロードナイト(or, roudo naito) to make it easier for the Japanese to read/pronounce. At your permission, I will put your name into Japanese best I can. If the Japanese come to America they will probably call you by this name. If that is not what you want, send me a reasonable Japanese name you want to attach to your English name for promotion.

You have until Friday the 27th at the latest to do this. No exceptions. Very simple. Please spread the word in IRC everyso often.

I will say that Hare has expressed strong interest in attending. In order to entice the offer of Japanese players coming, I have myself offered to put them into a hotel room, drive them from the airport, and pay their entry fee. If they do attend I will post the amount paid and accept donations later. If people want to share hotel room with me or drive down with me from NJ, that will help just as much as donating. I will save a donation link for after a fully confirmed attendance. I feel this is necessary because even with their room, transport, and tournament fee paid for, and even if they win, they will still probably pay at minimum a 1000$ just because of air fare.

Current List:

Lord Knight ロードナイト　姫アルク・琥珀

Pre-reg list to show the JP players who's going? Sure I'll bite.

Name - Brandino (translate in JP)

Thank you Brandino, and anyone with a Twitter account who wants to tweet the following, feel free to do so! I think this will help. Feel free to customize it yourself if you know any Japanese.

@ecolemanabe @narita_ton @fura_pan http://hydragp.info/members/komidol/activity/5338/ ＥＶＯの時、真鍋様やフラ＿パンがアメリカのメルブラ勢について知らせなかったので、よければこの大会のたびにサポートしていただけませんか？お願いします！

Translation:
"Because you didn't know about the American Melty Blood Scene during Evo, will you please support us for this tournament?"

And thanks to HydraGP they know about us now. It would be better to send it yourself than to retweet so they get a separate message. Retweet doesn't show people the same message twice.

GenericSuperhero · « **Reply #3 on:** January 23, 2012, 12:43:58 PM »

i'll be there

i can't write japanese, but please translate my name to "Gaijin Ou" as in king of the gaijins.

i guess you could use this as an MBAA play sample http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZpPcxIUwLk&list=UUS2sDS3W4AzRedtK3ZLLdiA&index=21&feature=plcp#t=3m49s

there's that red v white video of me in MBCC but that was the first time i played nero in that game (at all, incl training mode)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2U_oAyXOiA#t=13m55s use whatever you think is appropriate, but obv be aware that close matches due to sloppiness aren't that hype in retrospect

No Problem Generic. Main post updated.

Dipstick · « **Reply #7 on:** January 23, 2012, 06:52:20 PM »

I'm going to Final Round this year, and sadly, I qualify for this. You might want to tighten up the requirements. I'm not good enough with the moon runes to come up with a good reading of my handle in katakana.

Rei · « **Reply #8 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:06:44 PM »

I'm not sure if I should have them call me Rei since there is one already in Japan. I'll answer to レイ　or レイオウム.

I'm gonna upload the first to 3 we had, also our tournament match: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIkrjmMy7_A

I probably want to show my Arc instead of my Ryougi since I'm switching to her and won't use Ryougi too much at FR.

Zaelar · « **Reply #10 on:** January 24, 2012, 01:21:50 AM »

Not sure if going, but http://youtu.be/8OhN4LhtatA. It's a little old but I still play the same way.

COD3player · « **Reply #11 on:** January 24, 2012, 11:40:20 AM »

Do I qualify for this? If so, use the following:

Name: H-F Blade (translate to JP)

Matches:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3TgkSnvjyk
www.youtube.com/watch?v=3z4ZpbGUTtQ

Sadly the first match got cut off so the ending is missing. Use whichever one is most appropriate. Took me a while to dig these up. Feels like these happened a lifetime ago. :|

There's no stiff requirement, I just want to collect some of the best people have to offer and present it to JP. Even if you're "not sure" (especially for all our community veterans who will want to associate with the JP Players if they do come) or what not just put your name up anyway. The point is to be someone you want to show the JP community "Look at me, I did this, I've been playing this long." and want to challenge them when they get there. I'd imagine that's more people than have posted thus far.

In the end I'll go through all the videos and look for the the most high quality to present to JP (in terms of good sound effects, fluid sounding announcing (content doesn't really matter for announcing because they won't understand most of it, but I want it so there's mindless not-hype constant screaming or background noise), and otherwise. Even if you don't have a video or the video is difficult to access I can just throw your name onto a list of "Challenging" people.

The whole point of this is to entice competition. Let's show them what we've got.

Been using Hisui from the very beginning, and still using her to this day.

Here's a bit of a timeline of my MB history.

I went and found my matches from top 8 at Final Round last year:

vs. Brentify/PWS
vs. SilentShinobi
vs. Comic-Z

If you want some day 2 CC 1.05 footage, there's also a match vs. Ryd (America's best F-Akiha) from West Toast XIV -- filmed in PovertyVision.

Name: Malik or @ssmalikj
Preferred Japanese Handle: Malik (or Marik from Yu-Gi-Oh!, whichever one is easier for them to pronounce)
Translation: Whatever translates to King because that's what my name literally means.

Started playing Melty Blood Actress Again around the end of 2010
Achievements: 7th Place finish at Final Round XIV (2011), 5th Place finish at NEC XII (2011)

I welcome all challengers & am ecstatic at even the idea of having the opportunity to playing any type of foreigner!

Yo we caught some big fish. Buzz is out and I've gotten some interesting messages and emails.

GO1: "Taking off work in March would be difficult, but I really want to go to this. Who else is interested?"

NightmareOfBAB: "I can't go, but I will make sure your message gets out to the strongest players in Kansai."

Hare: "You know, I've always wanted to go to America..how is Atlanta?"

Kaimaato: "Will you guys really cover my hotel and ride to the hotel if I fly in?"

Garu: "I really want to go to this, how long could I stay in Atlanta?"

KoreanCL: "I have concerns about everybody being able to get off work, but, I've known about this for a while and I really want to go, too. I hope for this to be a dramatic war of kings."

He really said that.
