Arcknight Report post Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks Shin. I have confirmed there is a total of a 5 minute difference between going to one versus the other. A totally irrelevant amount on my end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinsyn Report post Posted March 4, 2012 The routes you take must be different because both venues are most definitely not 5 minutes away from each other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arcknight Report post Posted March 4, 2012 The routes you take must be different because both venues are most definitely not 5 minutes away from each other. That is indeed the case. The fact that I am approaching from the west pretty much puts them in the same time-frame as far as distance. At least according to Google Maps haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callisto Report post Posted March 4, 2012 That is indeed the case. The fact that I am approaching from the west pretty much puts them in the same time-frame as far as distance. At least according to Google Maps haha. Yeah correct, it's similar to the way Ignite and GGA are the exact same time from me despite being on opposite ends of the city, lol. GGs Shin, it was nice to meet you, hopefully I can put some time in and level up a bit in the near future, look forward to playing you again. @ CrazyApe, I'd check the routes, while NC is further north there may be a route with less traffic that makes it closer on time.

BlinKy Report post Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks Shin. I have confirmed there is a total of a 5 minute difference between going to one versus the other. A totally irrelevant amount on my end. I'm only an 1h23m away from the first venue and 1h48m away from the second..... I honestly didn't think I was that close Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyApe Report post Posted March 4, 2012 Actually nickel city is like another 20 minutes which isnt that bad but ignite would be like 3h 30 and nickel city is like 3h 50- 4 h. btw when is our next monthly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GGs Shin, it was nice to meet you, hopefully I can put some time in and level up a bit in the near future, look forward to playing you again. Yeah, the same here. It's always nice to play the game offline with people who genuinely want to get better, we gotta play more bro. I'll help you develop your game in any way I can, so soon enough you'll be beating me. @ CrazyApe, I'd check the routes, while NC is further north there may be a route with less traffic that makes it closer on time. Yeah, if you haven't done this already, do it. You may find a faster route that will benefit you and whomever you are traveling with. I really need that Carl experience! Actually nickel city is like another 20 minutes which isnt that bad but ignite would be like 3h 30 and nickel city is like 3h 50- 4 h. btw when is our next monthly? Man, you're pretty far out, that's one heck of a drive you got ahead of you. Half the tie Ve has but still... Well our next monthly is going to be on the 31st of March. As much as I like Nickel City, if it's really that big of an issue for travel for you guys, we can always play at Nickel City, just remember it's a $15 fee to play there for 5 hours so on top of travel, you gotta pay that, while at Nickel City you're only paying $2 to get in and if you want to get in on a tournament (that's not BlazBlue), it's $10 IIRC. I probably won't host tournaments for BBCS:EX unless there are at least 8 players there to play it, if not that, we can stick to casuals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callisto Report post Posted March 4, 2012 The room at NC is from 7:30~ to 1am~ for comparison, so it's about the same amount of playtime. I had also had a small discussion with Keits re: holding a side tourney at UFGT8 should there be enough interest garnered if that's something you guys want to pursue.

I can talk to a few of the Michigan guys about coming down for UFGT8 depending what day it's on if there is going to be a BB side tournament. When exactly is it supposed to happen?

Arcknight Report post Posted March 5, 2012 A tourney would be fun but I think our skills would vary wildly haha. That is probably no different from a regular tournament though. I'll help fill out the bottom-tier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heroic_Legacy Report post Posted March 5, 2012 Thanks for showing up yesterday. Great games. Hopefully more people start showing up. If not it's fine, but I can't really make it out to Ignite on Saturdays. If you guys end up staying at Ignite, best of luck. If not, see you at Nickel's!

Arcknight Report post Posted March 5, 2012 After some more netplay I should have enough BS clips for a shenanigans video. I have this weird ability to draw complete and utter bullshit out of thin air on netplay. Like the other day Mu's Stein laser went right through Lamda's head and didn't connect. Forgot to save that clip, along with some others. Hard to remember to catch them all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

z121231211 Report post Posted March 5, 2012 Yo, I'm new to this site and have been playing Blazblue since CT. I was wondering if there are tournaments nearby Chicago or something (not that I consider myself tournament material). This thread's like 20 pages so I'm not sure what's relevant (though there's something about Nickel City or something). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This thread's like 20 pages so I'm not sure what's relevant (though there's something about Nickel City or something). Actually this is a thread for people who are trying to create an offline fighting game scene in our State(and surrounding areas). As far as Tournaments in Chicago I would not be the one to answer that question. But feel free to remain and post if you are interested in joining everyone else that is tired of netplay issues.

z121231211 Report post Posted March 6, 2012 I guess that's what I meant. I only used Chicago as a reference to a well-known town I'm near. Thanks for the heads up and I'll be following the thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinsyn Report post Posted March 6, 2012 Welcome to the thread! We're basically trying to get something going for offline casuals, and possibly tournaments as the scene grows larger. Right now we're looking into getting a side tournament going at UFGT8, it's in the works and I have to figure out who I need to talk to but once I gain information on that, this is the first place it will be posted. Also, I will be going to Nickel City every weekend I have off and hosting casuals once a month for the guys here on DL. The plan is to gather at the end of every month at either Nickel City or Ignite Network. Whichever these guys decide to choose, I will cater to them. I won't be down there this weekend because I will be in Michigan this weekend on business and trying to arrange things for those guys to come down and increase our numbers for casuals. Any other weekend I'll be down by Nickel City though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arcknight Report post Posted March 6, 2012 I will know tonight hopefully if I will have a third person coming to Chicago for casuals. Crossing fingers. @Shin: I think it might be a wise idea to keep your initial post(#1) updated with the current itinerary (basic plans/times/locations/overhead costs and the like). That way people that do and do not post can easily find the information without having to read through all of this mumbo-jumbo. Just a thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Enigmos Report post Posted March 6, 2012 Personally im indifferent on ignite or Nickel. Though i am roughly twenty minutes from Nickel so kinda leaning to that but either place seems fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sutomu Report post Posted March 6, 2012 Either one works for me and I'll be able to start making it out to these around the end of this month! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinsyn Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Thanks Callisto! Well, I'll be heading up to Michigan tonight so I can see when will be a good month for these guys to come on down and increase the interest of Blazblue in Chicago. If not for casuals, at least for UFGT8. I'll let them know the supposed weekend it's set for, and if anything changes, I can update them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Callisto Report post Posted March 8, 2012 Keits is the one in charge of UFGT8, I'm not sure if he'll be at NC this Saturday, but next Saturday(3/17) is a tournament at NC, there won't be BB there but I know he'll be around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shinsyn Report post Posted March 9, 2012 I'm gonna be out of town as of tomorrow, so I'll just catch up to him the following Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
