Vigilante Report post Posted November 26, 2009 Since DM has closed it's doors it's time for us as a community to find another worthy spot and I say it should be BattleGrounds in Vernon CT. I have talked to mike and he is willing to hold fight nights starting Friday Dec. 11th and every Friday after that. He has told me he is going to make flyers for these events and is making those flyers for us free of charge. Let's make BattleGrounds the next big fighting club in CT! www.Battlegroundsonline.com The BattleGround Game Arena 378 Kelly Road, Unit #3 Vernon, CT USA 06066 860-896-5288 First meet up December 11th-09(5pm- midnight) will stay later if enough people come. Youtube Page www.youtube.com/user/CTBattlegrounds It's BYOC(Bring your own controller/stick) Venue fee-$5 You still can bring your own stuff if you want but there will be no discount. PC time is separate Hope to see you their and I will try and get a image of the flyer to put on this thread. If anybody knows of any other forums where people would be interested in coming to this please let me know so I can see if it's worth advertising. Other sites the fight night is being advertised on Battlegroundsonline.com The thread has not been made yet but you can introduce yourself here http://battlegroundsonline.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=25 Shoryuken.com-street fighter http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=211897 Tekkenzaibatsu.com-Tekken http://www.tekkenzaibatsu.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=115021 Tekkennation.com-Tekken http://tekkennation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3250 Meltybread.com-Meltyblood http://www.meltybread.com/forums/tournaments-and-events/battlegrounds-ct-every-friday-starting-on-dec-11th/ 8wayrun.com-Soul Calibur http://www.8wayrun.com/f54/weekly-fi...00/#post182353 Smashboards.com- SuperSmashBrothers http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=266278 Virtuafighter.com http://virtuafighter.com/forums/ubbt...880#Post275880 Games that will be there include Melty Blood Actress Again (We need more modded systems and games however, there's only 1 set), Battle Fantasia, Fate/Unlimited Codes, Guilty Gear AC, HnK, SWR/UNL/IamP, Sengoku Basara X, SF4, DoA4 and Tekken 6.

Mindgam3 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 I wish to post these flyers around UConn, since Vernon is a stone's throw away for anyone with a car. Should I just go to Battlegrounds and ask for some flyers to put up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joke of Anubis Report post Posted November 30, 2009 This actually works much better for me. Vernon is much closer than Walingford. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
so moe kona Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Let's make this shit work. I hope I can make it to any of these because I usually work on Fridays. I wish to post these flyers around UConn, since Vernon is a stone's throw away for anyone with a car. Should I just go to Battlegrounds and ask for some flyers to put up? I'm pretty sure they said were planning on printing up fliers to promote. Call them to double check. This actually works much better for me. Vernon is much closer than Walingford. You're the guy that has only a 360 stick, right? I think they have 360s we can use for these Fight Nights. Did you ever get your stick dual modded yet? If you didn't, I know someone you can talk to about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agp24 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 Woot! They have 360s. I can finally use my stick. xD I'll come if I can, but if somebody's having a tournament, I'll go to that instead. Money is a bit tight, so I'm only planning on attending one event this month, maybe two if I can get the cash. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea that was me but damn I wish I could have found someone like you maybe last week or so. I needed a PS3 stick for NECX and I had no way of dual modding mine so I just went ahead and bought one from Amazon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyers Report post Posted December 1, 2009 the locations not bad, they don't have as many setups as DM, but there's enough to go around. The only concern is increased travel time for jersey/NY. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vigilante Report post Posted December 1, 2009 I wish to post these flyers around UConn, since Vernon is a stone's throw away for anyone with a car. Should I just go to Battlegrounds and ask for some flyers to put up? They haven't made them yet because of the holiday's but I will let everybody know when they come out. If you want to go and ask BG if they can send you some I see no problems with that either. what games might we see there? blazeblue/ ggac ? This is where the community needs to help out because the only mainstream game is BB. There are discounts if you bring systems with game and there's discounts on controllers. You are also free to call the store and ask how they can help also. the locations not bad, they don't have as many setups as DM, but there's enough to go around. The only concern is increased travel time for jersey/NY. They are actually going to be the first ones to be offered all items during there sale. Battlegrounds will be getting more but give them a reason to want to get more because there a business first and if they don't see the return then they will stop helping the community so don't forget to show up. Just so everybody knows if there is more than 10 people on the first night it will only be $5 for the night. I will be trying to get Mike to post up on the forums so he can answer questions from everybody. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agp24 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Seems like I'm going if I can find a ride. I'm willing to bring a PS2, 360, as well as SF4, SFA:A, GG:AC, and CvS2. xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vyers Report post Posted December 2, 2009 I'll come if I have work off this day. I won't be able to ask for it off this time because I just requested 4 days off for NEC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm willing to bring a PS2, 360, as well as SF4, SFA:A, GG:AC, and CvS2. xD That's awesome man but we won't need the 360 because they have plenty but everything else is great. thx man I'll come if I have work off this day. I won't be able to ask for it off this time because I just requested 4 days off for NEC. It's going to be a weekly thing unless we are told differently so no worries. If you do have work and it's not too far you should show up after if you can. Just give the place a call before you do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayin Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Good to see you guys already found a new venue! I was worried the scene would die down when I heard that Digital Mayhem was closing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agp24 Report post Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks, Vigilante. Now I won't need to set it up multiple times. xD Time for the question of the day.... Anybody willing to give me a ride? Edit: I can help pay for gas. Edit2: Apparently, I only need a ride one way. I can get a ride either to or back, but not both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blueNINE Report post Posted December 8, 2009 I'm in, and will bring a PS2 (with GG) and a PS3 (with SFIV). I have a feeling it might work better to make this bi-weekly, but we'll see, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSMugen Report post Posted December 8, 2009 Real talk we need to make this work, its all us NE folk have left Hopefully I can get a ride to this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mindgam3 Report post Posted December 8, 2009 I have a feeling it might work better to make this bi-weekly, but we'll see, I guess. I'll second this. I personally ran meet-ups for what was the western CT crew for a summer, and the fact that these meet-ups were weekly gave most people a reason to just simply not come and "go next week." Anyway, I'll try to make it to this week's meet up. My biggest/only problem is getting a ride, so I'm going to start asking around. If not...I'll kindly ask for someone to come pick me up. I'm approximately 16 miles north of Vernon (23 minutes on Mapquest), 7 miles into the middle of nowhere from exit 68 on I-84. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krochos Report post Posted December 9, 2009 If anyone from NYC is heading up and driving I'll go with a friend (I can put like $5 for gas cuz I'm poor) btw this weekend has a lot of stuff going on (T6/BB on the 13th, Bx Tourney on the 12 and this on the 11th) I need more money >.< Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Springfield MA crew and I set this up so people can get together and play some casuals. In the future their will probably be one but as for this Friday, it's just casuals. If you still want to go try to convince people to MM you. well people went weekly to DM and we were looking for a place to replace DM. If we get a good crowd goin who wants to level up its all cool. Gonz nobody showed up to DM fight nights and I MEAN nobody. Alex and Jeremy I would like to see how this goes first before Springfield and I make any changes. We will definitely keep everybody updated on the situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you still want to go try to convince people to MM you. The fact its not a tourney makes it more intrigueing (less pressure more games played) but as I said my main issues is tranportation. Plus I could bring a ps2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
