Georgia: There's nothing really here!

[Zip.]

This is the thread for Georgians to discuss anything fighting game related, meet ups, etc..

[Amaterasu]

Wow I didn't think any one else played fighters in georgia. Wassup lol.

[7thFonon]

Me either. lol. I actually live in GA (for school), and have never once played any offline games with anyone in this state.

It's sad because the only time I get to play people offline is whenever I come back to visit NC.... and now I'm even making a drive to FL to play games with some of them. lol.

It's like unless you live within an hour of Atlanta, there's like no one to play games with. :(

[Zip.]

!!!

Where are both of you?

i live somewhat close to Atlanta..

[7thFonon]

I live no where near Atlanta, sadly. I'm in Savannah, GA.

[Zip.]

[7thFonon]

yeah. lol... it's basically like a desert for competitive fighting games. D:

[Zip.]

I'm pretty sure there's a scene around here..

i think they only play SF4 and Marvel though

hope Skullgirls blows up down here, because that's what i'll be focusing on.

[7thFonon]

I'm sure there are. I meant in Savannah. I don't think this place even has SF4 / MvC3 players. not that I'd really want to play anyway, but still... :P

[Amaterasu]

I'm only like an hour or so away from Atlanta. I live in Winder.

[Jowin]

Anywhere not close to ATL sucks for fighting games...that needs to change. Not sure how though. Georgia in general is a pretty basic place unfortunately, so it's kinda inconvenient to find people to play fighting games with. And if you don't play SF4/Marvel/Tekken then it's doubly inconvenient.

I stay in Carrollton for school (40 minutes from ATL). And Macon is my hometown (an hour and some change from ATL). Are any of you guys in the Georgia Fighting Game Community group on facebook? It's a pretty good place to network for fighting games..here's the link: http://www.facebook.com/groups/164898150234339/

I play Melty Blood and Skullgirls btw. And I really want to see P4A take off here. In Georgia and the States in general. So we need to get active yall. Don't want to see this game ignored.

[7thFonon]

Yeah. lol. I've been here in GA for over 5 months.... and since then, the only times I've played people (offline) in FG's were when I went to Florida, Raleigh and Charollotte NC. That's just how dead eastern GA is in terms of fighting games. :V

[Amaterasu]

Hmm I didn't know there was a group around here. I'll look into that. But yeah if you don't play SF or Marvel then you're pretty much suck around here. I'm mainly into Blazblue, Melty Blood, and hoping that P4A takes off.

[Launchpad_Atl]

HEllo what are yall talkign about ga has some of the best ppl in America that lives here
Tekken Soul Cal Street Fight and marvel
a lot of ppl play in ga we have like 2 fb groups we had to make another just for marvel.
http://www.facebook.com/groups/164898150234339/
check us out

[7thFonon]

I think everyone is in agreement that there are plenty of players in GA.... just not Eastern GA. Even players from Georgia tell me there isn't anyone in my area for the games I wanna play (AH3 and MBAACC)...

Closest person to me is (JusTbLazeItup) 2 1/2 hours away in Augusta.....and that's only if I feel like playing Tekken . And I remember him complaining that there's no one in Augusta to play with (in Tekken). -___-

[Launchpad_Atl]

oh ok i see what you are talkin about but its a lot of ppl playin

[Pandemic]

lol I like the thread title, very appropriate

I know Battle and Brew (www.battleandbrew.com) used to host weekly fighting game tournaments for Capcom games and MK9. It's located in Marietta. Who knows maybe if they got enough support for this game they could add it into their rotation.

There's also a facebook group for fighting game players in Savannah(I'm not from Savannah) but you can kinda just use it for GA players in general. http://www.facebook.com/groups/360111512660/

If anyone plays on XBL, feel free to add me. I'm currently playing random single player games and occasionally MK9 and SF4. I have BBCS as well. I hop on and do trials to get used to the aksys style in preparation for this game. Never bought any later versions due to how unpopular BB became. GT in sig.

[Jiikae]

Count me in as another Georgia guy who will be playing this game. Not on Facebook but I do have a Twitter: http://twitter.com/jiikae

The closer we get to release date the more I hope I have that this game will have a pretty healthy community. Hearing alot of people saying they want to give it a try, even non-anime fighting game players.

[datchison18]

more fellow people in georgia
wish there were people here in the fairburn/union city area to play against
only fighting games i have right now are blazblue/tekken6/king of fighters 13/UMvC3

Fairburn is like 20 minutes from Atlanta....

[yashanyu1]

anyone heading to seishun-con in atlanta the 22nd? I'll be up there from KY helping with a table. I'd be more than happy to get games in :)

[datchison18]

[Manti-sama]

hello everyone :D i play many fighters and i am pretty new to the fgc community, cant wait for persona fighting game and i live in Georgia also :DD i also love to try and get better and get games in offline or online

[Amaterasu]

There are actually other people who play fighters in georgia? I need to check this thread more often.

[Zip.]

yeah there is a small scene around the atlanta area, but im pretty sure they're all on capcom games iirc

oh wow ammy it's been a long time

where have you been?

[Jiikae]

Georgia will be playing Persona and I have a feeling they're going hard, here's the new group specifically for people in GA who plan on playing Persona: https://www.facebook.com/groups/384185348309288/

P-SPORTS!!!!

[Amaterasu]

Lol yeah I know I haven't been around much. I've been dealing with some stuff lately. But I'm back now.


But a group for persona players in georgia? Sounds great. Looks like I'll have to join facebook though. Eh.

[Launchpad_Atl]

a group i made lol

[Pandemic]

Still waiting to get accepted into that Persona group.

[ZomB]

Hi everyone! I recognize quite a few of you from here and there so it's hard to feel like a stranger.

But for those of you who don't know me:

I'm Jeff. I like fighting games, burritos, anime, and taking it easy. I live in Marietta right now, and I play KoF13, Melty Blood, Vampire Savior, Immaterial and Missing Power, Eternal Fighter Zero, etc etc etc.

Stopping in to let everyone know that I plan on hosting a tournament for P4U shortly after it drops along with Melty Blood:
http://mayonakamidnight.com/showthread.php?1571-Aug-11-2012-Sometimes-Georgia-Plays-Melty-2-(feat.-Persona)

I hope a few of you will come out and have a good time playing games that day!

[Amaterasu]

Hmm....I'll have to try and make that. I hope I can.

[tinge]

anyone in columbus? fort benning?
on another note, thread title is sooo right i thought sc was barren before i came here. at least there were good places to skate there

[Aristile]

Oh wow, I thought only online warriors lived in GA. I live in Buford myself so I'm a little out of the way of everything ><.

[Teh Umby]

I have arrived. Looking forward to playing with you all.

[Pandemic]

I have arrived. Looking forward to playing with you all.
GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR TOP TIER!:mad:

[Teh Umby]

GET OUT OF HERE WITH YOUR TOP TIER!:mad:

If it makes you feel better, I'm intending to learn everyone to the extent that I can generally choose random and do well in tournament. Aigis is just my favorite character in the Persona series, with Chie in second.

[Mizoke24]

Wow I'm kinda late to this thread but I live in Columbus Georgia.

I only know probably 3 people here that would actually play this game if I showed it to them other than that I don't know anyone who's into anime-style fighters here. When I was in Columbia South Carolina I knew tons of people who played the same games as me and I would always import Japanese game and tell them about it. They'd always come over and play games, I really do miss those days...it was kinda the same when I lived South Korea too they were all diverse gamers like me lol.

[TheGreatReptar]

Just a heads up, most of the good anime players (Ivysaur, Eshi, ZomB) in Georgia don't post here. We do however, have a Facebook group for ArcSys games here: http://www.facebook.com/groups/343167709045450/ Eshi's the only mod for the group so it might take a day to get accepted.

For anyone near the Atlanta area, starting on August 25th, there will be weekly gatherings on Friday nights at Georgia Tech in the Klaus building. I'll have a Persona/BB setup there every week. There's also a small group of Columbus people who play who I could help people get in contact with. They sometimes carpool to Atlanta for gatherings and tournaments.

[ZomB]

"the good anime players"

I learned today that you can't be good unless you play Blazblue :'(

But yeah the Facebook group is super useful. <2 weeks until release. I'm hype.

[TheGreatReptar]

My previous post has been edited to encompass the Georgia Melty community as well.

[ZomB]

Except I didn't even win our last in-state tourney so I don't even deserve to be there :'(

[TheGreatReptar]

You're the best Vsav player in the state though, aren't you? I don't know anyone else who plays it.

[FunkyP]

You're the best Vsav player in the state though, aren't you? I don't know anyone else who plays it.

When there's Vsav Ray finds his way to here, and he's one of the best in the country

[ZomB]

Kajoq and I go pretty close to even. Probably slightly in his favor even though the match up is in my favor. Shame on me.

At least last time we played!

[SmokeMaxX]

A.R.K. V is about a month away and we'd love to see all you guys there! We're expecting about 200 people from ~10 different states (including confirmed attendance from Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Kansas, Louisiana, California, and Oklahoma) and are throwing in at least $1400 in bonus pots (including $200 to Persona 4 Arena) to support some of our games. It will be on August 25th/26th in Jacksonville, AR with games such as Persona 4 Arena, BlazBlue: Continuum Shift Extend, Soul Calibur V, Super Street Fighter IV: AE, Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, King of Fighters XIII, Street Fighter X Tekken, Mortal Kombat 9, and SkullGirls.

For more information, visit the official thread here (http://mayonakamidnight.com/showthread.php?1542-Aug-25-26-2012-ARK-V!-1400-Bonus-Pots!-Feat.-(Jacksonville-AR)), the Facebook event page (https://www.facebook.com/events/231556636951952/) or holler at me. For anyone who wants to come, I heavily encourage you to preregister online at www.arktourney.com/registration before August 18th to save money on venue fee.

[ZomB]

Hey! I'd definitely love to come up sometime for a tournament like this. Unfortunately I'm already commited to Summer Jam, maybe another time though. :)

[FunkyP]

Dustloop is down :(

Next time!
Good luck at Summer Jam :)

[kazzmat]

Guess I'll start not posting here too like on DL.
Also I remember a post in the FB group about recording matches, I got an HD PVR recently but it only has component output, so the issue would be finding a lagless setup to work with it.

[TheGreatReptar]

Couldn't you get an HDMI splitter, then send the second HDMI to an HDMI>component converter? Mo' money mo' problems though =X

[kazzmat]

Mo' money, Mo' problems indeed.
I've played a few games off of it on the original tv I brought to tech, the one that had a good 5-10 frame lag issue, without many problems. I haven't tried any fighters on it yet but I haven't felt any real lag issues with it so far.

I don't know if it makes a difference but its a Haupauge
http://www.amazon.com/Hauppauge-1212-Definition-Personal-Recorder/dp/B0018LX0DY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1343986803&sr=8-2&keywords=hauppauge+hd+pvr

[TheGreatReptar]

I've actually got all the software for one of those on my laptop already from Paul. He always had a converter though.

I dunno what exactly Paul uses, or what would be like the cheapest thing that would work without lag. I would think just any splitter and converter combo would work, but there's that HDCP stuff I don't understand, and some converters and splitters can introduce lag I think.

Basically, ask Paul if you really want to record stuff. Hopefully P4U will get some stream time once Friday nights start up again though, so we can pull recordings from there. Dunno if there's anything else you'd want to record though.


Also, fuck Lambda's trial #15 in Extend. I probably spent like 3 hours on that combo over the course of the past month. I dropped the ending super like 6 times before I finally got it...

[kazzmat]

I actually just did a test record, and I didn't feel any lag. I'll just bring the setup when gatherings start again and let you guys be the judges though.

And that super is so easy to land now, the timing in CS2 was ridiculous in comparison.

[TheGreatReptar]

Man, after everything else that stupid challenge makes you do, it should have just ended in crescent saber. Fucking dash 5B link, TK crescent into 2D, landing all 8 hits of 5C (I dropped the stupid thing so many times from the dummy bouncing off one hit, causing the next to miss so I only had 7 total =\), and doing the dash 4B out of the corner (which is hard to do if the opponent isn't high enough after 5C mash, but if they're too high from 5C mash, they bounce)...Meh. The super shouldn't have been an issue. Figured out you don't need to hold down to get the followup j.2DD, so I could do the super faster.

I've spent way too much fucking time in challenge mode for characters I'm never going to touch again. Although doing Rachel's trials has go me interested in her now. Lvl 2 j.2C combos actually aren't hard at all if you aren't doing them off 6A>5B. That confirm's just really wacky. It's actually quite easy off of throw and 5B>3CD>8D>5B. Working on it off of 2C now. Timing the wind's tricky =X Rachel's combo theory stuff is pretty simple to grasp too, since most of her shit causes insane amounts of untech time. You can mostly do the same combos, just have to drop the ender 1 or 2 hits early sometimes.

[FunkyP]

The Component output on the PVR lags, I run the hdmi signal into an HDMI split to eliminate any lag first then it goes into an hdmi to component converter that strips HDCP, then component to HD PVR.

edit: The lag isnt noticeable, if you wanted to play on a monitor and record best bet would run the component out to a component to VGA converter. This is really cheap and the converter would not add any additional lag.

[TheGreatReptar]

Hey guys, for anyone near ATL, fall semester is almost here, and regular Friday night casuals at Georgia Tech will be happening again. August 24th will be the first Friday of the new semester, so there should be a fairly large turnout of people.

Location:
Georgia Tech
Christopher W. Klaus Advanced Computing Building
266 Ferst Drive; Atlanta, GA, 30332
Room # 1447 (unless otherwise noted)

Time: Roughly 8:00PM until the wee hours of the morning.

Do note, that the building is locked after 8pm. You can either arrive before 8 and just chill for a while, hope that someone from the church thing going on in the building at that time lets you in, or just PM me and I can give you my phone number so I can let you in when you get there. Bring setups for any fighting games you like, as the classroom has power outlets about every 5 feet on the tables. Generally there's SSFIV, KoF13, Marvel, BB, occasionally Melty Blood and of course there will be P4U.

And here's a quick map of where the building is on campus (the rooms are in small Klaus) and where everyone usually parks:

[Launchpad_Atl]

ill be there

[KoopaDoopa]

I'm looking forward to actually join the Georgia scene! Unfortunately I don't have a license yet (just got a permit) so I'll need a ride to anywhere. I live in Duluth, so... hopefully someone's there? lol

Anyway, the games I play are BB (Rachel), GG (Millia), and very soon P4U. I have joined a tourney once- this year's Final Round- but I want to join more, hopefully lol. Looking forward to playing everyone.

[Pandemic]

If anyone is playing this on 360 add me! Or reply and I'll add you. Netplay will probably be bad for awhile so it'd probably be best to play with people near you/me anyways.

GT = PandemLc

[datchison18]

i dont live near any of you guys
well maybe within driving distance, but gas is kinda high right now

[ZomB]

There are a few folks down in the Union City area that play fighting games -- I'm sure some of them are hopping on P4A, but I don't think they post here. Additionally you're probably only 35 mins or so from Georgia Tech - where we hold weekly gatherings.

[shyguyremy]

well, just got caught up on the thread lol didn't even realize there was one. 1-there's plenty of players in the atl area. been to battle and brew plenty of times to know that. you just don't know there's a scene unless you know some of the people. launchpad is one of those people. 2- me and a buddy of mine are definitely gonna hit up the ga tech sessions. we're serious about being competitive in this game and the people we play with are sub par at best unfortunately. 3- i roll with Carrollton (west ga) as far as an area (who even knows Villa Rica exists?!?). definitely hope to play everybody in person!!!

[ZomB]

Anyone who wants to play online sometime should add me on PSN : DOUBLEDELETEUSU

[ZomB]

I hope to see some of you at the gathering at GATech tonight! Parking will be rough because of the Frat Rushing but take a look at TheGreatReptar's post a page or two back and consider coming out. I'll be getting there a little after midnight.

[datchison18]

mad i missed some things...

[ZomB]

For the quickest updates I would recommend joining one of the facebook Georgia P4A groups. Anytime something goes down I'll try to post it here, but as far as netplay rooms/impromptu events etc go they usually get posted there.

Some folks will be playing P4 at Georgia Tech tonight, but I won't be making it because of work.

[TectalEastside]

I'm new but does anyone live in Columbus, Ga or passes near or through the area that I could carpool with? I know its probably too late to attend this week's event but for future reference...

[Glass_Sword]

Hey everybody just wanted to say hi since I am new here. I am in a town called Bremen on the weekends I am not at college if any event happens just let me know and I will show up. Just be forewarned I have no execution and no clue what I am doing in this game...yet.
