also, according to mangagamer site their panel (no longer circus, something else) is on July 4th.

Therefore, the final date will be July 3rd for the gathering.

We will leave at 5 PM after exhibit hall closes and drive straight to Raven's house. Once we get there we'll go and eat dinner somewhere.

Ijou.

July 3rd sounds fine, even better that it's not at AX. Probably will just skip attending AX altogether this year...

[Raven]

ok, 7/3 it is~

[FFD]

Hey all, I'm home. Socal is the best place in the world.
P, I need to know when Koji's event is, so I can set up a third gathering. I'm thinking about setting up on a third party place, i.e. an inn or PC cafe.

I'm getting fired up!! I'm looking forward to the bout, folks.

Details of the gathering so far:

Gathering is on Friday, July 3rd. People interested at AX will probably meet outside of Exhibit Hall at around 5 PM (I found out it closes at 6 but by then it might be a bit late). We'll then probably leave at 5:30 or something.

Because its rush hour during that time, traffic will undoubtedly suck (right before 4th of july too). So I expect us to arrive at Raven's house earliest at 6:30, probably more around 7:00 (unless there is a serious traffic problem, which then we are screwed >.>). There might be takeout pizza so we can eat once we get to Raven's house, but if that doesn't work out we can just go eat out after we get to his house.

People coming:

Reasonably Sure to Come:
Raven
TReusbucks
Leviathan


People that maybe will come:
linalys
FFD
Spatula
tekken
Robert (friend)

I think those are the details so far.

If we order pizza we need to get preferred flavors of what people want. Otherwise default would be pepperoni and hawaiian.

Although details about the pizza thing still need to be worked out; if it's not convenient enough we may just go out and eat somewhere instead.

This still seems kind of messy and disorganized a bit so suggestions are welcome.

Also, FFD, we need a way to contact you other than through the forum.

Ijou.

Roger that, everyone, FFD's new cellular phone number is 714. 263.. 6298... and this is temporary, likely only active until I go back to work on 12th.

Hi! I'm back! Thanks to Spatula for posting for me while I couldn't access the forums in China.

What we've decided to do for dinner is that we'll go to In and Out right before going to Raven's house and Raven said he'll eat dinner early so we don't have to worry about him. (Maybe lina too?) Then we go over to his house and play games. Or something.

EDIT: Also in case it is needed, my cell phone number is [phone].

[linalys]

Just got back home after a trip, sorry to Rightot and Raven who constantly bugged me. As things are going right now, I don't think I'll be able to make it.

[tenkenchild15]

Dammit Eric, learn how to spell my name, I don't even play tekken!

On a different note, I might show up to the gathering, depending on if I'm free at that time.

[FFD]

Damn, linalys where were you? I just got back, spent most of the time in the arcade/consoleroom/ex hall. TVC is sick by the way, I played roll-Legend Megaman all the way.

(needless blazblue hate snipped)

I WILL be there tomorrow. Plz plz plz hit me up tomorrow because I forgot/don't know how to get to yalls places.

[Raven]

FFD: i pm u my cell# and address already
lina: damn it, try to make it! =/

Stuff that happened:

-Collected (or attempted to) everyone together from 4-5PM at the convention. Called many people many times, including calling Lev when he was right in front of me. :V
-FFD got lost for a while because there were 2 grand avenues!
- In N' Out food etc etc etc
- Got to Raven's house, manage to pull off an 8 player round robin (2 rounds each) on 3 computers, all within 2 hours!!!!
-That being said, replays are a mess and split up between 3 different computers, I'll make a guide later saying which replay is which but yea, especially since FFD wanted to record some casuals, the replay list looks like... the lines of a disorganized anime convention.
-More stuff probably happened but right now I can't remember, other people can post that or I'll post again if I remember. Maybe.

Results stuff:
1st- Raven (8.5 points)
2nd- 3 way tie- Leviathan/tenken/TReusbucks (8 points)
3rd- FFD (5 points)
4th- Spatula (2.5 points)
5th- Rightot (2 points)
6th- Robert (0 points)

How did the 3 way tie happen? Basically, Raven beat me and tenken, me and tenken beat Lev, and Lev beat Raven. And so somehow there is a 3 ways tie and we didn't feel like doing tie breaker so that's that.

Replays will be up as soon as I get them all together and type up which replay is where in a text file.

[FFD]

Good fight, everyone. I miss linalys and zaido, I understand they're going through some heavy stuff, esp lina. I'll be able to go over in details once the replays come through. one thing though, THREE Mai players??!! are you kidding me? FML

but yeah off my head, Lev has very strong fundamentals, I was surprised how effective he was at wide range of characters, esp his RG timing. He teched ALL of my dopple throw combos!! I think I'm starting to see what jabel(vman) stated, in that fundamentals go far in this game.
Some theory I've came up worked, i.e shiori dp on wakeup into low B, and then other theory tactics did not.. such as misaki low ABC into qcb A/hcbx2 mix, since correct RG on the low C will interrupt/cancel the buffer. I forget how important that is too often.. correct RG will foil next special attack buffer. Again I'll be able to do some reviews in detail once the replays come in.
I love fighting you guys. I always got something out from the competition of EFZ, and that's something I can't say even on games like Marvel or CvS2.
