Okay... so I've been reading around on the places where Melty Blood players go to get a few games going, and the most common place I see listed are the various IRC channels... but this presents a small problem... IRC happens to be THE most firewalled chat service out there and is the only one I know of that actually requires freed up ports to work properly.
I was wondering if there's anywhere else that a lot of Melty Blood players gather online that's more accessible to people behind a firewalled network. I'm still rather new to the game (only been playing a month) so I really wanna see how I do against people significantly better than myself for the fun of it... but I can't find them cause of the pesky firewall... =u.u=;;
If anyone knows of an IRC client that can actually connect properly on a prioritized network, I'd use that... otherwise... I dunno what to do. XD The only other good chatting service I know of is xFire, just have someone on your friendlist invite you to the room and you're set.
I'm really interested in getting to play with others... I'll be on a network that I have control over for about 3 weeks starting December 18th so I'll at least be able to try to play during that period, but once I go back to this current network it'd be nice to still be able to play with everyone.
