-
Finally, the alliance of anime airdasher action arrives again!
West Toast is a well known series of tournaments that primarily focuses on Melty Blood. Now it has returned and it's ready to be as crazy as ever!
At West Toast we've always had Melty Blood and Guilty Gear, but now we can introduce two newcomers to the mix: Arcana Heart 3 and BlazBlue: Continuum Shift II!
WHERE:
Family Fuin Arcade
10363 Balboa Blvd.
Granada Hills, CA 9134
(818) 360-0419
WHEN:Sunday, July 24th.
GAMES:
Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code v1.05
Arcana Heart 3

Details:
Arcana Heart 3:
Time: 2:00PM
Entry Fee: $7.00 ($5.00 pot, $2.00 house)
Rules:

- Double Elimination, 2/3 matches, 3/5 Finals
- Winner must keep character (but may change arcana). Loser may counter-pick. Double-blind character selection available on request.
- No restriction on infinite combos or characters. Glitches are allowed if they do not crash (soft-crash or hard-crash) the game.
- Controller Failure: If you suspect your controller of malfunctioning, immediately raise your hands to halt the match. You may not retroactively call control failure after a round or match has finished. This will be penalized as a Forfeiture if abused to gain an advantage in a match.
- DQ/Forfeiture: If you cause interference during a match (due to pausing or physical distraction), you are subject to forfeiture of the round (Exception: We might overlook this if done in the middle of a static Super animation). If it is deemed intentional, you may be subject to a two-round forfeiture or outright disqualification.

If a new version of Melty Blood comes out before the tournament, we will use it as long as it's not too soon before the tournament (i.e. tournament is on Sunday and we get the new version on Thursday, we will use the older version).
Hope to see you guys there!
-
We might add Hokutio no Ken and Vampire Savior. If so, it will be a big day.

would hnk be on arcade board

Yes, we have the arcade board for HnK, and if we use it for the tourney, it will be on arcade. Same with VS.
-
I'll be there for sure.
That means I have a month to learn, better start grinding!
-
I wanna play CC, the real one.
-
I know H-F loves taking SoCal's money in AH3 and I know I (and a lot of AZ) hunger for some MBCC. I also like it as a tune-up for Evo for anyone here that's entering BBCS2.
I just have to figure out how to make it work with everyone's schedules.
By the way, ECT is JUNE 25th (today). This event is not conflicting with anything (other than being a week before Evo).
-
West Toast revival? Nice.
I should be able to make this.
-
Even -I- am hype to go to this. I'm looking to see if I can get more local folk to go. It may just be Ryd and I, not sure about anyone else yet. I will bring the King FULL MOON HISUI to the battle.

Yo Dippy, Ryd doesn't want to drive. Do any of us have a car that is trustworthy enough to go to California?

You on the WC right now?

I'm pretty sure my car should be good for the trip. The ride is kind of shit but the only pressing issue it had (worn/damaged tires) has since been addressed.
I guess my other question is when people wanted to head out there. The issue I have is that I work until 3 PM on Saturdays; I have no problem driving to CA after work and then playing there in the evening, staying the night somewhere and leaving Sunday after the tournament but I don't know if anyone else would.

I can assist with driving. Are we thinking hotel, bell's place (after asking), or trying to bum a night off of someone in the community (maybe with booze as the catch, I don't know)? If I get the position I just interviewed for, I'll still have weekends off with work on Monday @ 3 PM. Your plan would work with my schedule.

i'm ok with people staying over but don't expect me to be playing anything but ah3 for now. my interest in melty is -20% until they fix up cc2 and release it

GAK! Thanks, I'll fix that.

Well, for anyone not actually entering Melty Blood, at least you'll all get a chance to try out the lastest!
I'm really looking forward to all the hype everyone is getting for this.
Because this is the first one in awhile, I didn't want to do a 2-day event.
Next time, I might have it on Saturday as well, with the first day being teams and specials (i.e. KoF-style Guilty Gear in AC+ console).
EDIT: I posted up threads on homingcancel.com and dustloop.com; please check those out! I'll update some stuff in a bit when I have more time. Also, sorry about the lack of posting, I've been really busy lately.

What da fuck?!?! A west toast??!?!?! Shit now if we could only get fuckin Spooky down here

Also, this should really be a Sticky on the Front Page of the website as well.

Hopefully y'all can record or stream so people can catch this.

Damn, I want to go to this but I'm basically working straight up to my requested Evo time off.

I'll try to have regular West Toast tournaments every 1-1.5 months. So if you miss this one, it's not the end of the world. For the next tournament I'll try and make it a two-day event with teams the first day.
Here's the complete line-up not put up on the first post because of late scheduled entries.
2PM:
Arcana Heart 3
Guilty Gear XX Λ Core
Hokuto no Ken
5PM:
BlazBlue Continuum Shift II
Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code v1.05
Vampire Savior
Marvel vs. Capcom 3
As for recording...
- I will be recording, via a direct feed, Guilty Gear and Melty Blood. They're going to be held on the arcade cabinets, and I've been getting my equipment ready specifically for them.
- Strider_Zer0 will be at least recording Marvel vs. Capcom 3. He will most likely be recording Vampire Savior via a camcorder and tripod. (It is possible that he may record HnK and AH3, as well.)
- I have equipment, but do not have an extra laptop, for direct feed recording on the CRT console games (AH3 and BB). If you have an extra laptop and are willing to record, I have the equipment for component direct feed. It is plug-and-play, you just need recording software.
SLEDGE, a regular player at FFA, said he will be bringing in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters for the SNES. If you happen to have an SNES joystick PLEASE BRING IT and SHARE! Sledge said that he can't find his sticks, but he'll bring them in if he can find them.
As far as pricing for the off games goes, MvC3 will be $7; HnK, VS, and TMNT will be $1.

....Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters for the SNES....
