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 and to keep you more up to date now Twitter!!!

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!



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!



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!



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!

January 18 is when SCR happens, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a smaller turn out.

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?

It'd be great if we could have 20+, even if they are scrubs.

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.
