Rio Grande Valley thread

[swordiris]

Do you live in the small town cities of the RGV. Believe it or not there are players down here. Anybody from the valley post here and maybe we could get a tourny going somewhere.

[swordiris]

Come on nobody? Right next to the border of Mexico? We have a scene here in South Texas.

[furix]

Yes, I live there. What games do you play?

[swordiris]

I play Blazblue Continuum Shift 2, Mortal Kombat, and King of fighters 13

Also play various RPG's and world of warcraft.

My main genre though is fighters.

[furix]

From which city are you?

[swordiris]

I am from Harlingen what about you?

[furix]

Oh okay. I am from brownsville.

[swordiris]

Yeah, I wish more people down here were on dustloop and everything.

I do know people play down here to some extent though. I take Blazblue to my gamer club and I meet people who play there. Plus my friend is a great Hazama. If only a tournament could get going down here. It seems like Marvel vs Capcom is the thing down here.

[furix]

Yeah, nobody really plays these games down here tbqh.

Like, back then I tried to push Guilty Gear as much as I could. Also, which gamer club? Do you go to utb by any chance?

[Scottie Yosh]

You guys should come up to Austin.. Still have brownies for you furix~!!

[furix]

Just don't put drugs in the brownies :<

I don't want to get date raped!

[swordiris]

It does seem like it would be better up in Austin.

I'm dual enrolled in a Early College high school as a sophomore and TSTC Harlingen.

I go to the gamer club there.

[furix]

Oh I see. Hmm, well, where else do you usually play games at? Tbqh, there hasn't been many gatherings around here lately. I think there's Wednesday Night Fights or something like that in like Mcallen or something, I don't really keep in touch, lol.

[swordiris]

Usually just my house gamers club and at my friends.

There is a let's play Arcade by here but I don't think Blazblue is really big there.

[furix]

Yeah, I used to go to Let's Play before the owner started raising the prices more and more. Most people stopped going there altogether iirc.

[swordiris]

I think the dumb thing Let's play arcade did was sell their cabinets.

We need more arcade cabinets. If only they got Extend but that wouldn't happen.

[furix]

Yeah, that was really stupid.

Are they still at the mall? Or did they move once again?

[swordiris]

They are still at the Harlingen mall but I think the first one is still open by an auto parts store somewhere in Harlingen.

The original one used to have all these cool cabinets.

They had an Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 cabinet and sold it, I was dissapointed.

[furix]

Yeah, I know. They also had Guilty Gear XX Accent Core... although it was on an american cabinet and it hurt as hell to play on it.

[swordiris]

They had guilty Gear? I never knew that.

Why did it hurt to play on American cabinets?

[furix]

american cabinet + guilty gear set up = painful as fuck on the fingers

It really hurts playing a game like guilty gear in such setup.

[gli]

We need to get all of Texas players in one spot sometime haha.

[swordiris]

Yeah but Texas is such a big state.

Any tourny past corpus Christi isn't happening for me in the near future

[furix]

Yeah, same. Well, I haven't been traveling at all much lately.

[swordiris]

I got like 10 more people into Blazblue since I last posted here. One day everyone in the Valley needs to have an offline tournament.

Maybe the people in Northern Mexico will join too? Don't know if there is much BB players south of the border.
