: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!

TOASTY CASUALS

Beginning Friday January 11th Toasty Casuals shall initiate.

UPDATE: The street is SOUTH not north Alameda
Also meet up time will be sometime after 6pm, probably after 7pm.
There is a cover fee of $5 to play on console, for all afternoon/evening. Some of the money will go to donate for the new Guilty Gear or UnderNight InBirth board

Update: we have a Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/toastycasuals) and to keep you more up to date now Twitter!!! (http://www.twitter.com/toastycasuals)

I’m DAA, and I’ve been trying to coordinate casuals Friday nights at FFA for games such as GuiltyGear, MeltyBlood, BlazBlue, Persona 4 Arena, Arcana Heart, and more!
As FFA closes its doors on nearly 40 years of history come this new year, we’re moving venue. As such for those who regularly come and fight for dominance every Friday at FFA, on January 11th we will meet at Japan Arcade in Little Tokyo, and we can take up the fights there for bi-weekly epic dominance!

(https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-PeKW8bBD7uQ/UQnQT0TNhVI/AAAAAAAAACs/_EzUzlWgzIU/s758/toastypicfixcol.jpg)

On January 18th for those who are newer to the fighting game scene, or need to get better at a game (like I need to get better at Guilty Gear!), or want more casual or social fun, or might be in the area, we will be meet for a “more casual” bi-weekly meet-up. There will be exhibitions, move lists available, helpful people, and I will ask senior attendees to be kind to any newbies or anyone trying to learn.

Air Dashers:
Games where you can dash in the air. The general definition. A lot of these games have now been grouped into “anime” style games, and as we move venue to Little Tokyo, new and old players should be aware of how some of these games just came to be. MeltyBlood, once a computer based game, is based on a visual novel Tsukihime, and probably has one of the largest anime and manga back resource of any games we play, at least on arcade cabinets. We’re trying to get anyone who might want to play these games, but may have been afraid or intimidated, interested in coming to our “more casual” casual nights, so please, any questions, even if they seem stupid, post below!

Most of the games will be on arcade cabinets, and some PS3!
For newbies, this means joysticks and buttons, so if you are used to playing at home with a controller, like many Meltyblood or GuiltyGear, you can bring a PS2 controller and plug it in to play. A few games like Arcana Heart 3 and Persona 4 are a little more obscure and the arcade cabs are harder to obtain, so it is likely we will have a wristband fee to pay to play for the night for several console games. There will also be games we will try to include such as Skull Girls, which is download only from PSN and XBOX Live. Also if you have a PS3 controller or joystick it would be a great idea to bring it along as we are starting off, especially in our first weeks. Questions on games or what any of this means, post below!

The Venue:
Japan Arcade is nooked into a corner in Little Tokyo’s Galleria Mall, right by Woori Market, on the second floor. It shares its space with restaurants, karaoke, and small shops. If you are over 21, there is a lovely selection of bars within the eateries, and of any age great food and stores in the mall and surrounding areas. Anything I missed that you want to add? Post below!

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-NctW8tL9bXM/UN--nHlZ5sI/AAAAAAAAABw/_Jd44R-HG9w/s365/food.jpg)

Why “Toasty” Casuals?
West Toast was a tournament begun by a founder of the Meltybread website, and a play on the name. Toasty is using this partiality for fondness of the airdasher scene along with the “toasty” atmosphere Japan Arcade unfortunately can get if there are many people, usually on warm days. Dress in layers! You have been warned!

(https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-dt2fsgonME4/UN--oTNIEvI/AAAAAAAAACA/brIUvGpKLSA/s495/toasty%2520warm.jpg)

Transportation:
A lot of people are already in the area and expressing interested as I am typing this, but for some of you, myself included, I am expressing an urge to coordinate carpools to go to Little Tokyo from areas of SFV, also to take public transit, as there is a station within MY (I have a cane and cannot walk too far) walking distance from the arcade! For many of you I know the easiest thing would be to go to the North Hollywood Park and Ride and leave from there, and it is very simple to get to the stop on Alameda just north of where the Galleria is. If anyone has any more helpful hints or wants to offer transport post below!

February 1st will be the second meet-up for newer players. But we'll probably be at the arcade pretty late, I will post on here to notify any interested parties before we leave the arcade though. It can stay open decently late, until past midnight. SCR according to their site, they have NO air-dashers, and don't really seem to have that many good games imho.... >__<;; I mean, not even 3rd strike?

So for those who made it, it was fun! Good games, except you Numa you're mean to me. Those of you who did not make it, we had pretty good play even though tonight was a 'for the newbies' night. I hope those of you who did try out new games learned and had fun! I know I learned much from Numa mopping the floor with me in Arcana 3.

We had 2 PS3 setups, and we will have for sure, from now on, as long as there are enough people. Also the cabinets got good play, too. So anyone with reservations that you're unsure there's no one showing up, we are, and most of us are too lazy to post on here. Good games, and see you next week, or in weeks to come!

Woah. I read that there is a cabinet new to Little Tokyo, so I was planning on going yesterday with my friend to check it out. I had no idea such a community thing already existed. Unfortunately, I got in a car accident on my way over. I'll try my best to make it next week.
Also, I'm pretty scrubby so this is perfect.

Whoa whoa whoa. We have meetups in LA NOW?!

I never went out to FFA because it was too far. Little Tokyo is so much closer. I didn't know there was an arcade there.

I'll have to try and make it next time. Hope it isn't this Friday, though...cause I'm going out for my Dad's bday.

Happens every Friday basically so come over any Friday.
We've got some regulars. Numakie, KFL, Lain (for as long as he's here right?), Myself (When I've got change), Amanita, ID_ASZ(he works here), and theres some people that just pop up ocassionally.
Some dude called "The Piano Man" showed up last week, it'd be nice if he becomes a regular.

I'ma bringing my recording equipment to record this Friday. If ID can set up up the Melty cab for me to capture, then we in this.

Ideally, I'd like to run a Round Robin and record that as well.  That way we can all play each other & see how great we are.

Mar'Tee, Lain, KFL, mrthefter, Ya'll down for this?
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: mrthefter January 29, 2013, 10:07:40 PM
I'll see if I can stop by this Friday. No guarantees, though, and I'm suuuper rusty. Haven't played seriously since MBAC.

Also, for parking, I dunno if you guys know about the sketchy Megatoys parking lot up the street. It's usually unstaffed in the evening = free parking.

There's also free parking at the Woori Market parking lot till 9:00pm. Technically it's 2 hour free parking with market receipt but they don't really check. Just make sure you have your car out of there by 9 cause they close the lot up around 10.

The mall parking's free too as long as Japan Arcade doesn't run out of those free one hour parking stickers. Just let them know that you've been here for a while and that you may need some extra stickers.
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: Numakie January 30, 2013, 06:18:44 AM
Japan Arcade can also Validate your parking for 2 hours inside the parking structure. You have the option to validate, Drive out of structure before 2 hours, drive in structure, repeat.

Also, after 8p, you can Park on the street without needing to put money in the meter (meter says "enforced 8a to 8p")  Finding street parking may be a bit tricky though.

I'd also like to mention that ima plan to be there friday round 8p  or so.

Do you guys only play Melty on the cabinet, or is there a PC set up as well?
What is the button layout on the cabinet? It could be hard for me to adjust to different binds on the spot.
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!

Standard layout for melty cabs is:

Stick:             Buttons:
P1 Side:                                    P2 Side:         
7   8   9          A   B   C               9   8   7         A   B   C
4   5   6          D        E               6   5   4         D        E
1   2   3                                     3   2   1

Primarily the melty cab, and no, there is no pc to play it on.
Also, I plan to run this on the cab only. Less set up to worry bout.

: Numakie February 01, 2013, 02:32:01 AM
Alrighty. All my equipment is packed and stuff. I'll most likely be there round 8P after work.

If all goes well, we can do a 2/3 Round Robin (or 1 game if there is alot of ppl.... that'd be awsome btw) at 9p with the Melty cab on Event Mode. Ideally i don't want to charge extra beyond the paying the machine, but we'll see.

I'll see you guys there. Bring your friends for Melty as well.

So yesterday I was wandering around Little Tokyo, and I decided to check out the Japan Arcade, and stumbled upon what I think was this Toasty Casual!

A while ago me and some friends I downloaded a game called Melty Blood: Act Cadenza, and it was probably the most fun I had playing a fighting game, a genre I had never really been that interested in. Recently my interest was re-sparked, and for the past few days I've been trying to find an arcade with a Melty cabinet in it. I never thought it was in the little arcade naught but a 10 minute drive from my house! (The locations page listed some out-of-business arcades and that dinky Coinz center at UCLA listed as "University of California"). I was even more blown away to find a gathering specifically around it. What are the odds? That is some weird spooky voo-doo.

I had some questions though:

1) I'm someone with no real "backround" in fighters, are there other people here who are new to the game, and would it make any sense to participate in the actual casuals?

2) The way I see some people talking about the arcade, it makes me think that there is not always a MB cab there? 2b) If so, if anyone wants to beat on me sometime during the week and give me some pointers I'll sup you the quarters.

Stoked there's a scene near me, hope to be posting more!

I'm pretty new shit at this game, and there are a few other fairly new players as well.
As far as I know, the cab is there every day.
Unfortunately I don't live close enough to Downtown to come over during weekdays, but if you don't mind playing online, add me on steam http://steamcommunity.com/id/del3030 and we'll practice.
We're both in the LA area so the delay shouldn't be too bad.

(2013-02-01) MBAACC @ Japan Arcade - Round Robin
http://youtu.be/DWPKuBqm7Lg

Jeez.. Finally uploaded... Quick note to other guys. When you upload your vids on Youtube, don't play the Melty opening. It will be flagged by Sega.. ><

Anyways, Big thanks to you guys for coming down. This event went beyond my expectations. I'm down to do this again to run this event & record matches.

1) I'm someone with no real "backround" in fighters, are there other people here who are new to the game, and would it make any sense to participate in the actual casuals?

2) The way I see some people talking about the arcade, it makes me think that there is not always a MB cab there? 2b) If so, if anyone wants to beat on me sometime during the week and give me some pointers I'll sup you the quarters.

1) I am actually running these on fridays so players can come down and improve together. If you are interested, come down. I'll post here to keep updated.

2) The MB cab was originally at FFA before the arcade closed down. The machine then got relocated to Japan Arcade. The game is there to stay as far as i know.

What if I pick up Hime??

Youtube videos. Yes. Time to watch how trash I am because I haven't played on stick since 4 years because my buttons are broken. Not to mention trying to do MBAC strings with all the returning cast.

If you need someone with low skill-level (atm, anyway), I'm down for netplay, too.

Note to self: I should probably buy new buttons and fix this sucker. Or at least rewire the working ones into the right layout.

- Played on the Melty Cab.
- Character lock preferred, but not required.
- Moon switching OK.
- 1 Match
- Everyone plays everyone
- Each game is 50 cents. No Exceptions.
     * Both players offer 1 quarter for the cab,  OR

As funny as I think it'd be to make my introduction by giving everyone the flu, I won't be there tomorrow due to being such.

As for characters, I'm trying to decide on the best flavor of Akiha for me. What's the real difference between Seifuku and Original Vanilla?
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: mrthefter February 07, 2013, 08:31:22 PM
I've got a meeting for a project this Friday (followed by dinner, poker, and drinks) so I'm out. Next week.

Also, Seifuku and Vanilla differences depends on the moon. Iirc, they have similar tools, just with different inputs. Vanilla might have better vitality; not sure on that one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lT2G4qalpbs&feature=youtu.be&t=22m21s
Crescent Akiha vs Cresent Seifuku

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06LGjS_WRTg&feature=youtu.be&t=24m2s
Full Akiha vs Full Seifuku

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=so02I686uOk&feature=youtu.be&t=6m40s
Full Akiha vs Half Seifuku

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za27a5wTKHY&feature=youtu.be&t=1s
Half Akiha vs Len

Aside from obvious moon differences, they have different styles of play. In regards to normals, Crescent Akiha is attacking with life-force plundering claws, while seifuku just fights with her hands and feet. It also looks like Crescent Akiha has better neutral game and traps. And I do believe that Seifuku is better at rushdown.

If you don't know the effects of moon styles in detail, there's a guide on it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRdBIpOyaXk

I don't feel like typing anymore.
If you wanna see more of any of them, you can look for matches with them on www.meltydb.com

I'll be going today. I've already gotten the flu and shit.

Good shit last night guys.
Really hoping everyone shows up this coming friday. How many players can we get on stream this time? Like 10? 11?
And then there's those dudes that came in when the Round Robin ended. We need to get bigger!
I'm gonna try using F-Akiha this coming week, but if I'm not comfortable, I guess I'll stick to Arcueid once again.

Hey Numa, don't know if you know this but you can get your parking ticket validated for longer than two hours. They have these "one more hour" stickers that they can add to your ticket along with the two hour validation stamp. Just let Max or whoever's working the counter know that you've been here for longer than two hours and they'll give you as many stickers as you need.

Also, thanks for running the stream. It's really helping me figure out what I need to work on and what I need to stop doing.    ;D
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: Numakie February 11, 2013, 10:57:42 AM
I did talk to Max about those stickers, thankfully. What surprises me about those stickers is that Japan Arcade pays for em for us, which is pretty damn neat of them. It at least gives me some incentive to drive down there rather than take the tram. I still don't like driving in LA though, so I'll prolly switch back and forth from Light Rail and Car.   :V

Also np bout recording. I do it cuz i want to, and so you guys can see what ya'll are doing.

My Akiha's blockstrings have improved, I guess. I think it'll be pretty tight in two weeks. I'm really digging her 22x properties.
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: Numakie February 19, 2013, 05:56:49 PM
Some quick advice.
-Reduce damage you're taking by tapping to the rhythm of the combo. Do it right, you will stay alive... I'd say 20% longer.
-For OTG strings, my general rule is 4 A's to other normals.
-If you're finding your opponent likes to jump out in the corner, try Run up 5A.
-If you're trying to build blockstrings, Try not using 2/5C and use A & B only... and not jumping and airdashing in.

Newayz, gonna run another thing this Friday. See you guys there.
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: KFL February 19, 2013, 06:36:47 PM
For the reduce damage, is there a penalty for mistiming it?
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: Numakie February 19, 2013, 07:30:17 PM
As far as I know, not really. There's no reason why you shouldn't be using it, unless you don't mind taking damage. Be mindful of Resets though.

In my experience, I find it helps me keep focused on the match when i am getting bodied by some big combo, as opposed to getting hit, hanging my head and saying to myself "aww crap, there goes my life". Every little bit of health helps.
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: Martee Blood February 19, 2013, 10:38:34 PM
I really only jumped a lot with Arcueid cause of TK rings, I spend a lot more time on the ground with Akiha. Also, 4C isn't that bad, but the other "C"s look too risky for pressure.
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: KFL February 19, 2013, 10:42:34 PM
I underestimated reduce damage... I set the training mode dummy to reduce all and my corner BnB did a measly 3.8k as opposed to 5.5k.  :-\


I'll be at Japan Arcade tomorrow night around 8PM if anyone wants to get some games in.
: Re: !NEW! TOASTY CASUALS (L.A. area) Bi-weekly for new and old players!
: Martee Blood February 19, 2013, 11:03:45 PM
I think you're supposed to match the timming of your opponents attacks, so as long as they don't know your attack's timing they'll prolly just shave off a couple hundred instead.

FT10 on the other hand... Against my Hisui, I'll do FT10 for 50. 20 i guess?

I'll record it too for the world to see.

As for C-Satsuki.... I like F better.

I kinda want to do F-Neco cuz she has a better air dash... and H-Mech... cuz she is basically Dhalsim.

Ooo. neato. Happy bday Martee. Hurray for old man-ness

On another note. Gonna be there this friday again.

Then after this. I'ma start doing these Bi-weekly.

If you care bout the reasons.
-Moving out introduced new expenses to worry about. ><
-I'd like to do the occasional other thing for friday... like run the Rose Bowl again... or drink.
-So many more tournaments popping up.
-I don't just play Melty.  :P

Thank's to you guys for playing this game. This past month alone, you guys improved greatly. Hope for more events to come.  ;D

I'm like an hour north of Super Arcade in mid-city Los Angeles. I host casuals in the evenings, I'd like to say I host around 4, but everyone shows up at like 7 pm. we normally end at around 4 am but with enough players, I don't see why we can't skip sleeping.
Last meetup I had 6 visitors, assuming I'll have that many (Or more. Made some new friends.)before you get here, how many can I expect?

The skip sleeping part isn't going to work so great, since we have to be back at Super Arcade at... 10-11 AM or so the next day? And where we are staying is in the opposite direction of where you are... gah, fuck how big SoCal is.

Right now it would be three of us: H-F Blade, Tempered and myself.

Yep. Melty friday at Japan Arcade again. (May 24)

I will probably also run Vampire Savior as well.

Set up @ 8p
Starts at 9p.

For Melty, there is no entry fee. Pay as you play. (50c each game)
For Vampire Savior, there will be a $1 entry fee, & will also be pay as you play (25c each game). Venue to be given to ID-Asz at the counter

Type of tournament will be decided at the event, Usually it is going to be Double Elim or Round Robin. Hell, maybe even Japan style single elim (1 match, single elim). Could be anything. ;3

As usual, I'll be recording Melty which I will post on my youtube. If VSav is ready as well, I may record top 3 at least. No guarantees on that though.

I'll see you guys then.

Is anyone gonna be around Japan Arcade this Weekend? I'll actually be back in town! (... about damn time (grumble)) There's also a good chance I'll be around Next Friday, but that's not 100% certain, yet.
I can come to Japan Arcade since I'm not doing AX, or EVO. I can make it there 'round 7:30.

Well, let's take it one weekend at a time (my schedule's still kinda uncertain) -

I'll aim to be in around 8:30 tonight

My skills are pretty rusty, but hopefully I won't bore anyone tonight :)  Look forward to seeing people!
