OK wanted to keep you guys in the loop on a few thangs:

-Animeland Vegas this weekend will NOT be run by the GO_ guys due to conflicts with management. I don't know who is running this now, but they did just post up the schedule today. Currently the tournaments being run are Smash, T6, SSF4, & UFC 2010 and are all on Sunday. Here is the schedule: http://api.ning.com/files/ UKOnUPPD...Kh0g/sunday.png.  This may be a good oppertunity to spread some MBAA exposure.  I have a feeling I will probly run into you there Loli.

-As for the monthlies, I am still working on getting a new location since GO_ closed its physical location. I originally had Gameworld picked out, but they decided they are going to run their own tourneis for SSF4. I let them know about the Tekken scene here, but they said that until they saw a demand they would only be doing SSF4 on a biweekly basis. I will keep you guys in the know on this.

[Prinny]

Hey guys, how's everyone in the Vegas community been? Been a while since I posted so I figured now would be a good time...

I'm sure everyone here has heard that Arcana Heart 3 is coming out this winter, so I'm wondering who in the community is going to pick up the game. As far as I know, the following people are already looking to pick that game up:

Prinny (Me!)
Level 0 (The Dark Adonis!)
Emperor Paine
Punisher (aka the VSion player)

I know that Emperor Paine and I are going to pick up the game and play it pretty seriously, especially since it's going to have netplay as well. So, I know that it's only been a week after EVO, but if possible I would like to know who within our community is looking to play the game either casually or seriously.

About EVO...

To all of Melty Vegas who went out there and competed, thanks for coming out there and repping our little community. Also, thanks to those within the community who simply came out there to cheer on the members who were competing. Even though AH3 is coming out, MBAA will still be played for sure. I hope and pray that our community continues to get stronger and that even more of our members consider competing at next year's EVO.

If anyone wants to play MBAA for kicks or for training, or just wanna talk about Melty in general, please don't hesitate to post. (If that ain't obvious already, lol) 

[LoliSauce]

I won't be able to pick up the game or play it seriously, since I don't have any current gen console.

[Macc]

As always keeping you guys in the loop:

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via PM or at shinzomail@gmail.com.

Also Prinny was talking about running some MBAA at this as well.  I am fine with this going down, but since I will already be running 4 other brackets I would have to ask that someone else help run this if you guys wanna do this.  If so let me know and I will make sure to update all the posts to include MBAA in the event.

[LoliSauce]

I would like to have a little break from MBAA tourneys so that I can learn stick.

[Level 0]

August 14th, eh?  My older bro's birthday is the day before that, so he'll probably do something on Sat.  If not, then I'd be down for some Melty if someone is willing to run it.  I have no idea how brackets work, else I'd run it myself (also I'd need a ride coughcoughimahobocough...)

I really want to try Arcana some more before I really decide if I like it enough, even though I did find the character I'd like to main already.  That flying/homing mechanic is really weird.  Cool, but weird.

I'm already super hype for KOFXIII, so whenever that shit comes out, I'll be on that for sure.

[LoliSauce]

Next weekend I might be going to a cousin's wedding in socal.  If so, I won't be able to get together with you two (adonis and prinny) to lab some shit for genfight like I wanted to.

[Coopa]

Hello, guys. This is Coopa from Iplaywinner, here sponsoring Norcal Install.

http://www.meltybread.com/forums/tournaments-and-events/norcal-install!-v-2-sat-august-28th-2010-%28we-hitconfirm-everything!%29/

Please take a look if you're interested in a Melty Blood tournament on August 28, 2010. Also, please tell me, as this is important, if you'd like to money match someone from California and be on the stream.

At the moment, I'm looking to see if I can get Xie versus Yat. I think, if Bellreisa comes, he might be interested, too, but I need to contact all these individuals and ask them if they would be willing to do so.

Please post in the norcal install thread or here if you're interested.

Thank you.

[LoliSauce]

Any of you guys gonna try to make it to this?

[Coopa]

I hope you will. We'll need as many people as we can get on the stream.

I know for sure Yat will be there. Xie and Bellreisa are unconfirmed. I believe Spidey is coming to Norcal Install though.

I will be there around 2pm to set up so feel free to stop down earlier for some practice. So far the tenative schedule will be SSF4, BBCS, & ST starting at 4pm and then T6 once BBCS or SSF4 finishes up. Please if you guys can (cause I am not sure about how much cash on hand the guys at this place have), but try to bringing some smaller bills other than $20s. Also as an FYI in the case the equipment with the supergun has issues, the ST tourney will be switched over to the Dreamcast version. We will have two PS2 to DC convertors to use if this is the case.

[LoliSauce]

I'll be there, but only to chill with the crew.  I might play casuals in melty or kof2002um (surprise surprise), which I've been picking up a bit to have something new to learn stick on.  I'm semi-comfortable with using a stick at this point, but not actually competent yet.

[Macc]

Word I'd be down for some 02UM if you wanna play.  Been actually playing more 98UM lately.

[Vagabond]

Yo, I just moved recently. I'm on Jones and Lone Mtn, I think.
I'm down for casuals anytime, only thing is I'd need a ride. (andimnogoodforgasmoney) :'(.

[LoliSauce]

Dude, you only live like 5 blocks north of me.  I can give you rides whenever you want, no problem.  Hell, you could walk to my place in like 20 minutes I bet (not that I advise walking in the fucking death heat, but you get the point).  If you ever want to hang out late night weeknights or on weekends, let me know and I'll swing by.  Whether it's fighter casuals or whatever, I'm usually down for hanging out.

You don't have a cell though, right?  I'd just need some way to contact you reliably I guess.

[Vagabond]

Oh shit, sounds good!

Hey guys I highly suggest we all start going to Gemini Arcade to show the owner that we are interested in getting fighting game arcade machines here in Vegas. I talked to her and she said if there is interest she will be getting KOF XIII, SSFIV, etc all with HD cabs. She has been looking into this but no one that plays fighters really goes there. They do have 1 HDTV and let you bring your console to play. You can also bring your own setups to play as well (console and monitor). They do not charge for you going there and playing on your own setups. Also, the place is pretty big and has room to spare. Holding future get togethers or tournaments there would be great!!! Let's show them we're interested and get it poppin over there.

Yo, I'm gonna try swinging by here sometime to see what it's like.  Anyone down to check it out with me?  It's right next to the UNLV apparently, and it's free to just set up and play there I guess.

Also, Vagabond, when do you have free time?  I dunno if you have work or school or anything, so I'm unsure of when to call (and is the phone a house phone?).

[Vagabond]

Yep, that's my house phone. Feel free to call anytime.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me via PM or at shinzomail@gmail.com.  Also I left an opening for an 'impromptu' tournament so if there is some sort of side tournament that you guys want to run or play, let me know.  Also feel free to post any comments here: http://shoryuken.com/f7/palomino-urban-nights-4-las-vegas-nv-9-4-10-a-248419/#post9404401

[LoliSauce]

Well, guess I should mention that I lost my job on Friday.  John and Paine, I don't think I mentioned anything about it on Saturday.  I was/am still pretty depressed about it.  I have a very good chance of getting another job within the next month at Clear (where Adonis works), but I would still appreciate it a ton if you guys could keep your ears open for any decent job opportunities (even just short term temporary things).  Thanks.

On the upside, I pretty much have no reason not to miss next weekend's tournament, though I won't be competing in anything.

[MissedFRC]

i be lurkan

Sorry to hear about that Loli. I'm out of work right now too and it sucks. Best of luck to you though, I'm sure you'll find something.

Thanks for the kind words brother, and best of luck to you as well.  Put in dat effort and I'm sure you'll pull in a job quick enough.  Looking for a job is practically a job in itself, so if you work at it well it pays off!  I'm already working towards a couple possibilities via Craigslist, so hopefully I'll have good news soonish.

[Macc]

Reminder of the tourney this Saturday @ 8Wire beginning at 4pm.  Be there.

@ Loli:  What kinda work you do?  It seems that MGMMIRAGE has been hiring lately, especially in their IT department.  I think two more positions may be opening up soon if your interested.

[LoliSauce]

IT and Data Entry were primarily what I'm looking for, since it's good pay.  You know people in MGM?  I'm definitely down for an IT job for a casino.  What's pay look like?
