FFA BlazBlue & Melty Blood Bi-Weeklies - (Granada Hills, CA)

[Xie]

Come again next time everyone.  

[LoliSauce]

I will prolly be driving down to enter in one of these sometime down the line.  2 weeks is prolly not going to happen, but in a month?  That could be realistic for me to come down.

I'm surprised to see a C Miyako up in the ranks!  Rep the loli Wicked Element!

Lol Thx ^_^;
I'm working on my F-Miyako so I might bust that out next tourney. :3

[Id_asz]

Since MBAA came out I've been working on some more characters. I've picked up F-Ciel, F-Satsuki, C-Arcueid, C-Riesbyfe so far. I'm going to start practicing my comboes and game theory for each character. I was dropping way too many combos during the tournament >.< I'll try and fix that up for the next one.

GGs everyone on Sunday!

[CT_Warrior]

I totally want to go, but does anyone have a stick to lend for during the tourney?
I can't play pad at all, and I can barely play stick.

[Id_asz]

I always bring my PS2 stick with me to lend. For MB I play pad, but I figure other people would want to use my stick.

[Xie]

Ya CT, if you go I'll lend you mine. But if you mash like a faggot I'll have to take it away.  

Though, you can't use it against me though.

[Numakie]

Cant go on the 27th. I gots da plans. 

[Xie]

Going on the 27th f'sure. I BETTER SEE EVERYONE ELSE.

[COD3player]

Not sure if I'm going. Might have other plans.

[Reyes Mahou]

Is anyone near the Irvine area that can give me a ride?

I'll pay gas money, of course.

[LoliSauce]

I'm gonna try and make it up for one of these in October, but I'd like to go when there will be a lot of people attending.  Would you guys be more likely to be there on Oct. 11th or 25th?  Also, I'll need a place to crash the Saturday night before the event, so could anyone lend me their couch?

I've been practicing my F Miyako a lot lately, so watch out for those loli elbows!

Congrats to everyone who entered the tournament. Especially Render for breaking Mike Z.'s (What was it, 5?) tournament win streak. Will Seung ever come back from where he left to?

It was nice seeing 3 Carl's up there, thanks ZONG for repping Carl.

Crazy good matches all around, especially the Bang Bang Mirror (BangC and SDCT), Soniti vs BGarbage, Tron vs Mike Z., AGnat vs Mike Z., and Render vs Diar.

Thanks to the two ladies who entered the tournament, Mel and RSheller. I hope to see you again next tournament.

Had a surplus of Jin players this time, 4. Usually we only have 2.

I had some fun casuals after the tournament, too. GGs Ike Takeda and Bang Camaro.

The next tourney will happen 10/11. IDK if it will have teams or not, I've been asked that a few times already. Hope to see you all then!

GGs everybody. Especially the three guys who came together (Diar, Siaga and Batsu). We had a really good turnout for GG, 15 people.

We were supposed to use this tournament to find out who had gotten better AGnat, but we both tied for the same place >.< I'll beat you next time, muahaha (strokes evil kitty). I wasn't expecting to get nearly as far as I did, and it ended up holding the wait for the BB tournament to start, lol.

Oh yeah, big thanks to AGnat for running the tournament, he did a really good job.

GGs Soniti, that was a really close match. I learned a few things when I played you on Friday, and when I watched you play Jam during the tournament. Without those I probably would have lost.

We had some exceptional players today, really fierce competition. I hope to see you guys again next tournament. And maybe some new entrants (It's only $1!).

Melty Blood:
1st: Xie [F/C Neko & Mech] (8 points)
2nd: Diar [H-Aoko] (6 points)
3rd: Id [C-Ciel] (4 points)
4th: Raptor [F-Sion] (2 points)
5th: Oni [H-Roa/C-Ciel/H-Ryougi] (0 points)

We ended up round robining because of the lack of entrants. I'll probably make it a $1 tournament next time to entice more people into entering.

I did practice over the last 2 weeks, I swear! Just, not with my main >.<. I'm trying to get used to the PS2 controller (I'm not going to use this as an excuse for losing, but let me say it) and I kept rolling my inputs instead of going to 5 first before switching directions. That kept messing up my combos (and made for some very unopportunistic supers), so I usually ended them quickly with a throw just so I couldn't fuck anything else up. I'll practice more and do better next tournament. GGs everyone, especially Xie.

Better luck next time, Oni. We should get together and practice some. H-Roa seems like he has a lot of potential, and that EX Haloish super of his could be really useful.

Congrats on the win, Xie. Good to see somebody using Neco & Mech, lol. IDK if they'll end up being as good as your regular C-Mech (which is crazy good), but they seem to have some decent potential.


If any of you guys didn't enter all three tournaments, practice for the ones you didn't enter in! MB is a really fun game (don't be intimidated by the higher up players, I sucked up and entered GG and actually did pretty well). It just takes some practice, but all-in-all it's probably the simplest of the three fighters. It focuses more on footsies and game theory. BB and GG rely more on heavy skill of game mechanics (esp. BB).

Crossposting from socal thread.

I'll most likely be going to one of the FFA tourneys, but I'm just waiting to hear some feedback on whether more people will probably be going on the 11th or the 25th.  I wanna see a decent turnout when I come down! 

Google Maps says I'll be going along this route, so maybe I could carpool some other people there if they're not horribly out of the way? 

[F9|Chibi]

You guys lost to Meko / Neko?

Are you serious?

Wow, stop running tournies, please.

Get back to the kitchen. Make me some brownies.

[Rayza]

I second the request for brownies.

[Ice Queen Lotus]

Make your own damn brownies, nyukka.

[Xie]

Sounds like grounds for a MM 

[F9|Chibi]

lol

Brownie MATCH~

[Ice Queen Lotus]

FT10 loser bakes the brownies?

[F9|Chibi]

you'd never get any because i'd eat all of my brownies~

 

[Rayza]

you'd better share some with me Chibi

[Id_asz]

Whoever brings in brownies, I'll pay for your entrance fee... Brownies are good.  (No pot brownies, though, they don't taste very good).

And Xie is a crazy good Mech player, I can't touch him (even if he is using Meko&Neko).

I fixed the first post for the next tourney. It'll be same time/price as the last one (for MBAA), but if you're coming for GG or BB, some of that stuff has changed, so check it out.

I might need someone to help run the MBAA tournament (maybe Soniti) if I run the BB Teams at the same time. We'll see how it goes, I usually get plenty of volunteers when I do something like that, so I'm not worried.

[LoliSauce]

Okay, I'm not coming this weekend, but I'll be there on the 25th.  I'll prolly be bringing along a friend or two as well.  I'll post more details as they're solidified.

If it ends up just being one friend and I coming out (or just me, for that matter) would we be able to get a place to stay over Saturday night (the 24th)?  If I end up having any more people come with, we'll prolly just stay at a motel so as not to be a bother.

[Xie]

I'll be there this Sunday (10/11).  Guest appearance by Kijea.
