So is there anyone from NC playing anything now a days? I'm in Charlotte, and need some people to play with. All this Blazblue and street fighter 4 really dosen't do it for me. I really wish they would release MBAA for xbox360. They released MvC2 for christ sake!, give me a good game!
Living in SoVA, North Carolina is not too far out of reach for some mbaa. Anyone in the area still play this game?
hate hate hate
I'm in Raleigh. Most of the Melty players are around this area. One guy that plays F. Kouma lives on Fayetteville road in Durham, there's a few players at NC State in Raleigh, me and Jon also in Raleigh, Brandino in Goldsboro (when he's not temporarily based elsewhere) and Matt/James are in Greenville. We get together and play fairly often.
THIS WEEKEND is a tournament in Greensboro which several of us are travelling to. If you want to go, it'll start around 12 and run up to around 11 or so, but you can leave whenever. Thread for info and everything else:

Do you have a Dustloop account? The lot of us generally discuss meetups and talk there, in the "New North Carolina thread" in the match finder forum. We don't play GG or BB as much as we play Melty atm, thing is so few of us read/check Bread.
Sorry to hear about the cash, but you could possibly catch a ride. Most people do that, the car I'm travelling in will have four guys or so. If said Durham Kouma player is willing, I don't see why you couldn't tag along. There's no fee to play casually at the tournament. So long as you have enough for maybe a little gas and something to eat, you'd be fine. It is certainly an all-day affair, though.
Yeah, nice to meet you. My name is Brent. I'm purify or purifyweirdsoul elsewhere.
The Valkyrie Profile avatar, yes.
Brandon, when are you back?
No anime nerds in Germany?
Also what is the o sound in people?
I hope you were able to do something about that $700.
So Brandon, you'll be able to get to State this weekend?
HAY WAZ GOOD NC YA IMMA POST IN THIS THREAD SOMETIMES
:fap:
...so yeah we have a lot of tournaments but not so much forum presence.
Hey guys, I'm Arkaether. I was the random guy who was with ehrik at FR, for anyone who went. I live in Hillsborough, close to the CH/Durham area, but most of the time I'm at dorms in UNC in Chapel Hill. FR was really awesome so I'm trying to get more involved in the melty scene, but I don't have a license/car. I can still take the bus, though.
I was wondering if there was anyone else around my area I could hang out with, and if there's any regular place/time for melty meetups? Thanks.
Man, wish you guys were playing at GameFrog today (yesterday), I need practice!! I remember one of you guys were there (Brandino I think? I'm going by the Ciel avatar. lol), but never set up the PS2 :(
I'll probably be spending more time on this game anyway, since I think I'm done with Tekken after this past GameFrog tournament with like a total of 2 players... :/
Gamefrog has problems. Go to Lucky's.
Things beyond Edward's control prevent there being good fighting game tournaments (no CRTs, mixed consoles, curfew, him being kinda at the mercy of the management). At a casual level, it's okay, but you're still on shared time and space.
Brandon your name meme is kinda wtf and there's a typo in your sig.
Roski, what were those combos you were telling me again? Something like, using an A after an overhead in the corner to set up a wallbounce loop.
What I was talking about, and this only works in the corner afaik:
(As optional) > 5B > 6B > 5C > 6C > link 214B > air combo (like, j.C to j.6C to relaunch etc). If you guard break somebody, that's what to go for in my o.
Long chain to 214A whiffs, yeah, that's the point sometimes...but long chain to 236A will rarely whiff in my experience, and if you can get more, more bar, and then charge/pressure time, why not?

By the way, what do you guys think of White Len? I've looked at her forum real quick... people don't seem be fans of W Len to say the least. :/
But basically I started trying out White Len since I've used Akiha since Act Cadenza on the computer anyway... So far C-White Len looks like a funny character. Illusion dashes, a 22 D that turns her into a cat, and a command grab where she just dashes up and slaps the opponent. lol... I'm mad I didn't start using this character before though. She's fun as hell.
Only thing that is driving me crazy is that when I'm at medium range, my C attacks will sometimes whiff after I combo with my B attacks. But still, she's pretty awesome.
I'm trying to find games too. If some guys want to come to Lucky's, we could be able to do that. He wouldn't charge us or anything. There's also those 2 MB players in High Point we could all try to get up with. Any ideas?
I was about to go "Mother's Day is SUNDAY" and then I remembered Brent-Walk probably isn't happening to Kenansville.
I don't know if you know Doug or not, but he's in the process of learning C-W. Len himself. He goes by longshot on SRK/dustloop and he lives in Clayton. He's a really nice dude also.
The rest of us are...odd. Or egomaniacal man-babies. Man I wish I could see who added some of those tags...
Clayton?! That's where I'm from (before I went to college) lol. I'm rarely there during school, but during the summer I'll have to get in contact. And that's good he's not an egomaniacal man baby.. lol

Oh, hey. I sent you a PM on SRK earlier. We're trying to play tonight.
AZ, yes, I'm going to that. I don't have a room to stay in and I don't know how I'm getting there, but I registered for it. lol.
It seems silly to book a hotel since I'm just 5 mins away, but maybe one of the guys has a room I can crash in, play some games, etc.
Brandon, let me make sure I got our plans straight...
You want to get your badge early, right? Does that mean you're staying with me Thursday night? I'm probably not picking mine up early, the prereg line usually isn't very bad and there's not a whole lot to do on Thursday anyway.
I guess that works, but I'll be working Friday so...you might want to go ahead and do some stuff on Friday, then pick me up about 6:30/7.
They put up the schedule recently. Don't miss the goth loli tea party.
http://www.animazement.org/images/stories/PocketGuide2010View.pdf
Oh, and this is Tony's game schedule. Keep in mind, they usually have to run console games on LCDs since that's what they get:

8pm - MBAA
10pm - Tekken 6
10pm - Rock Band
Sat:
5pm - Brawl, part 2*

Burgertime (arcade) High Score Challenge, noon - midnight (daily)
Really now? Alex must have thrown a fit lulz. I left before SF4 got started cause I had out of state visitors. Wonder who all the Super anime scrubs will be playing...
If Aaron shows up, there's no limit to the manner of poverty you might see.
His laptop is so poverty it gets checks from the government.
I'm thinking about changing to Friday for the people that do want to hit Gamefrog and so I'm not in direct competition with Ed. Like the guy or not, I don't want to hurt a tournament.
I'll actually be in Jacksonville later this month, so if you guys want one weekend in Raleigh (I was thinking 25th-26th), I can do that.
Can't really do Durham/Greensboro since I'm out by the shoreline, because that would bring my drive over 3 hours. If we can all meet in Raleigh and maybe go pig out at a stir fry or something aftwerwards, I'm down for that one weekend. It'd be nice to meet the NC crew.
I'm not keen to reading through the whole thread, so if anyone has a place for me to stay at for that time, that'd be awesome. Preferably free of any bugs (specifically Roaches, I know that's a problem around this area even in the most pristine homes, not trying to say anything about anyone, though), I'm just extremely dis-comfortable around them (I'd rather park my ass at a motel for the night, as expensive as that would be). I can bring a setup, even.
It'd be great to see you guys since I had financial problems when Final Round came to pass.

Red Roof Inn should work...usually their rates run 65$ a night for a nice single room. Round robin for the bed? Runner up gets under the desk.
The only thing that sucks about a motel is being out 12pm the next day. Maybe we can run two nights? 130$ Between even 6 people is only 20ish$ per person.
Edit: Also, Eternal Fighter Zero is a must...
Yeah. The whole idea behind getting a hotel is so we have enough room to play, a place to sleep, and less worry about cleaning up after everybody. A Red Roof-ish motel room wouldn't be much different than my own apartment.
Komidol: We've done this a few times before and yeah, that's how it goes. Everybody that shows up pays $X at the door, whatever extra we take in goes to food. This particular location is good for several reasons. We'll take care of the details and setups etc, as we were going to do this sometime this summer anyway, so it all works out.
Brandon: lol sounds fun.
There's a bus that runs from the airport to a regional bus station at RTP, which connects to a bus that takes you to downtown Raleigh, at which point you can get on a Raleigh city bus to wherever in Raleigh you want to go.
Instead of all that, I imagine that somebody could just pick them up. If not you, somebody with a car. If there's someone that goes through the effort of flying in to play, I think the least we could do is get them from the airport.

Alright I'll leave it to you guys then. I'm usually the one setting things up so I just went into organize-mode.
I'll trust it to you guys, just give me the place and time when you have it (preferably before the 20th).

I remember you setting up a stream for one of your casual sessions back in October/November...you planning on streaming here too?
Speaking of sessions, yo Brent what time you starting today?
Might not be the greatest idea to show off all your stuff right before Evo, but I'll bring my stuff if you guys really, really, want to.
Oh. Good thing you posted again, wouldn't see your edit otherwise...
I'm not down for playing -anything- that much lol, and I don't know if Brandon can house people on base. I'll ask Matt for you, I think he still has a house to himself.

Even if this was possible I wouldn't be down for playing ANYONE for 15-20 hours straight. Matt may be able to do something like that though.
It also doesn't help you're at the coast of NC instead of middle...like everyone else. Sort of sucks because pretty much every gathering we usually play till like 2-3AM easily

Well, I mean, we'd take breaks, maybe some other fighter, or just in general breaks for an hour or two (or I'll run training mode or something), but if it is possible I would like to play for like atleast 6 hours at a time. Like you said, it sucks I'm so far out, so if just before the event I could stay a day or two at someone's place, that would be awesome. I need to get out of grind-mode and into match-mode. If ya can't it's no big deal, I suppose.
I don't mind doing like ft100-ft200's though. I just want to play. It's true after 3-6 hours the autopiloting sets in and the mind gets tired if you're playing right, that's when you just need to take a 20 minute break and stop playing stupid. The one benefit of a small rotation is you don't really have to stand up because other players are waiting to play, though.

I start to auto-pilot after like a 6 consecutive matches with the same person so that's why I prefer a rotation over just playing the same person for so long. Thankfully next week we'll have enough people and setups so we won't have to worry about rotations or even if you want to play X person for as many matches you want considering I'm pretty sure that me and you are the only two people who are ONLY going to be playing MB there.
Oh and speaking of MB crack sessions what time are you flying into Vegas? I'm most likely going to hit up Spidey's room until Lolisauce gets off of work since I get in around 3:30 on the 7th and then I guess Myself and Kusanagi will be heading to his place.
Can't do it. We're also not looking good for Evo as I'm the only person that wants to go right now. Brandon already has his plans, but getting 3 Melty players might not happen...or even 2, I'm not going by myself.
Kinda wack. We went from just me and Matt two years ago, a whole bunch of us last year, and this year 0? What happened to supporting Melty and being hype for Super?
D:
Brandino we need to get more people out, I don't want to play casuals/run training mode all night if you're only going to play for me like 20 minutes a piece.

Talk to AntiShoto or Shin Masaki if you're interested. I wanna get the chance to meet you man. Stay hype, even if your regional meltybros aren't, and make it happen.

God I'm so desperate for matches at this point.
Where am I driving to and when? (Not tonight/father's day)
You can't do anything during the week?
Edit: Maybe I can make a drive today if I leave nowish. Hit up IRC.
Alright all good, casuals are on. Someoneelse come on out for a rotation~
Its reported to be over 100 at this time. But that was around the time early bird discounts ended, could be more.
Brandon, you already have a team for the 3v3? If not, we should team and get a third somewheres.
Wow, the Melty hype here just isn't what it used to be. Maybe when the college guys are back...
Yo, I play the guy with the fire. The name is James. Look me up scrubs. >:(

They still have MB at gamefrog or are they done?
I might be going to Wilmington, not sure. But State is doing games tomorrow (Saturday).
I don't know what we'll play, honestly. People are salty about Super, but BB is only popular with Blake/Matt. I could see us playing Melty sooner than a lot of games, but I don't know. I'm not sure what Q and Will actually REALLY play anyways.
Wow, amazing stick.
Nope, no games. Just some dumb posts on SRK.
Dude, his post says Street Fighter Zero. As in, ALPHA ONE
Which means...terrible. The only reason he's doing that is to reel in those new guys that were talking about Alpha.
Yeah, think he edited that after I posted.
I think Ed has a little more respect for the game now, apparently he plays it occasionally, but yeah...kinda sucks we didn't play it in Wilmington. They actually put CvS2 in (and nobody played it, Rick did training mode for like 10 minutes and then the setup just sat in training until they put GG on).
I would have played GG, but when I got my turn Matt and Blake both left the setup. Wtf, so much for playing that game.
I do like how Melty is second only to SF4 for entries at NEC though.
Yes, but I was sort of expecting CS to surpass its numbers. I think it just has 19 or something right now. Kind of odd...I thought that game was more popular.
...Mugen Bullshit huh.
I still don't get how this dude liked Arcana but not Melty.
Y'all play any Melty in Wilmington?
Hi everyone. I got into melty blood recently. I'm in the raleigh area. How often/active is everyone around here?
Me and a friend were just playing Melty on Tuesday in Raleigh.
I'm hosting a gathering this weekend for this game and others at my apartment. I'm just inside the beltline, exit 10 or 11.
221 Calibre Chase Drive, apt 106
I'll let you know which day people decide on, Friday or Saturday. Hope you can make it. There's also a tournament coming up next weekend in Greensboro for this game, Super, GG, etc. I would link you to the thread on that but SRK is down right now apparently.
You'll have to excuse Brandino, he's discouraged and bitter. The scene isn't what it was a year ago, but there's enough of us still playing to give you comp.
And where are you?
I'm all like MB sadface? on srk right now son
I'm so realtalk right now in that thread.
I know for a fact AH3 isn't lasting that long. 6-7 is generous. It'll be me, you, Matt, like two State guys and Jon. 3-4 tournaments, top 4 matt/me/you/jon, State falls off, lack of entries, sadlife NAH.
I really don't see Marvel 3 being that big though.
Damn I'm getting depressed reading you guys' thread & this isn't even my state.Imagine trying to get into this community like I am. Sure as hell ain't easy. :-[

What exactly is hard about it?
He was posting on DL about GG/SSF4 too though, and he lives in Raleigh...finding games in general isn't so hard, and me/Doug meet up like once every two weeks and have been playing Melty. Kris wants to do something in Raleigh tomorrow and I'm thinking about hosting a bigger gathering next Friday.
Lucky's will have Guilty/Super aplenty, of course.

kozu u gay dawg
Sam says he's going if his folks buy him the ticket for Christmas. He'll apparently be staying with Elvenshadow though...which means I would need to get a hotel room for myself.
Just stopping by just because.
I still suck at Melty. :( I guess when Arcana comes I'll be grinding on practice mode for a good while.
I'd still smash Rachel. :VCareful, Ragna players get jealous when they hear that kinda stuff. :P
Just pre-ordered my copy with 2 day shipping. Hopefully I'll make the first shipment.
For anyone that may not have heard, we're playing at my place today.
yo you should have put AH in instead of letting the PS2 sit on the training mode pause menu in MBAA ;p
I forgot about it, honestly...I don't even know who put in GG.
I miss Melty Blood. :gonk:

Yo good shit bro, I'll be down in Jacksonville around June 10th-early July. I'd be happy to come by since you're relatively close. If you can get some of your friends interested I'd be happy to teach you guys the basics and get you started.
Practice Practice Practice until then. Want to go on a road trip? Maybe we can hit up SilentShinobi in Alabama. I've always wanted to play him. (Unfortunately in Southern Melty you gotta be willing to travel)
Yeah it seems like the game of the week so far at state at least until everyone gets tired of being blown up for mashing.
=
Blocking on wakeup is good, as is not mashing tech, but how do they deal with (endless) pressure?
Yeah but I'm trying to give people advice on what they should be doing. Really doesn't help when they are playing someone like F-Sion. At least with the Shiki's I can say use X really good move alot.
I'm trying to get them focused on oki it is just as important as combos themselves actually probably more important but the only people who really even try shit on oki is the maids player and the nero(do a special congrats pressure). Everyone else either just runs up and 2As or backs off.
Normally trying to poke out and/or getting hit, I have not gotten 1 guard break yet, and nobody is really EX-guarding to stay in business so until that starts happening they arn't blocking enough. I actually have switched off my main for a bit to get people more used to blockstrings because Catsuki's is a half grappler sooo blocking isn't the best of idea's against her, plus her stings last like 4 seconds tops. Unlike when I bust out F-V.Akiha or H-Roa or C-Aoko.
and the nero(do a special congrats pressure).lol why you hatin on my nero pressure. Honestly though I don't know what to do other than ex deer or snakes after a knockdown.

Amount of money per game is listed under the different poverty level tiers by the games list:
The idea behind this tournament is pure fun and nostalgia for the classics and old games that had so much love put into them. Don't come out here expecting to get paid a whole bunch of cash or having large turnouts per game (Unless you are competing in UMVC3). Poverty games rarely get large turnouts, they are passion games. So come out, casual players, pro players, oldheads or whatever and just have fun with everyone.
I repeat, you aren't going to make any money here, if you win a few of these maybe you'll make like 50-100 bucks, don't come here expecting to play for the big bucks. It's a poverty game because you'll only get like 5-8 entrants.
Some of these games have prize bonuses, physical items given out to the winner. In order for the prize bonus to happen they must get at least 6 entrants. Depending on overall support of the event or certain games more bonuses will be added.

We're also doing Arcana Heart 3 East vs. West, which is free if there is time available.
These games cannot be guaranteed by KDP staff as they are dependent upon a 3rd party running them (although they are pretty reliable and they will most likely be there).
A general time table will be created a week before the event is up. If you're planning on coming please post up a list of the games you are interested in playing to show your support for that particular game and it will help me make the time table as well.
