Ok....
Fight Night was a total fucking blast, and for those of you locals who couldnt make it, you missed out on a smashing good time (No pun intended!!). Realyst totally dominated with his Julia and Nina (As expected) as my Yoshimitsu learned much from our first official meet. SF4 Games were amazing to play and watch. BlazeBlue and GGX rocked the house with a crazyman shouting "FIRE!!!!!" and "HeadShot!!!!" as he threw down like nobodies business. For those of you who were there, I still got to learn everyones names!! Zoob, Jian.... awesome times as I will be there this week as well. Its then a small break for me until the 8th of January as the next 2 weeks are back to back holidays (X-Mas and New Years). I will be there regularly at least 3 times out of the month. Im thinking the last friday of the month will be a much needed break (Im still recovering from sleep as I type this at 7:24am!!).
Also, the running joke Friday was "Either 40 or a loss." Real, you know what Im talking about!!
Its awesome that Mike said that he will run Fight Night EVERY FRIDAY evening from the 11th of December out, so be sure to make an appearance!! There were plenty of great, friendly and plain awesome people there getting their D~D~DT's on. And theres a 24hr Denny's just around the corner!!
And as a side note, I just ordered an HDD external converter so that I may back up the contents of my HDD up before sending it out to HP for a Mobo repair. Im mentioning this because A: Mike has a 32' LCD hooked into one of his PC's and B:
Why do I mention this??
An HP SlimLine is an easy PC easy to cart around as Ive got a shitload of MAME gems that would fit Fight Night perfectly for a possible Tournament in some of the following Arcade Games, all utilizing PS2 Dual Shock Controllers (Ive got a JoyBox PS2 Converter that supports 2 Inputs!!). This awesome list includes:
Killer Instinct 1 and 2
Fatal Fury Saga
Neo Geo Battle Colliseum
Garou: MotW
World Heroes 1, 2, Jet and Perfect
The Last Blade 1 and 2
Samurai Shodown 2, 3 and 4
SvC Chaos Plus (All Bosses selectable from the start)
The King of Fighters 95 all the way through 2001
MK 1, 2, 3 and UMK3
The entire Dalkstalkers Saga including Vampire Saviour 2 (Japan only)
Puzzle Fighter
Pocket Fighter
X-Men Vs Street Fighter
Marvel SuperHeroes Vs Street Fighter
Marvel Vs Capcom
Street Fighter III 3rd Strike
Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo
Street Fighter Alpha 1, 2 and 3
Street Fighter the Movie.... just because!!
BloodStorm!! It sucks, but its there!!
And just because.... MUGEN with at least 700+ characters and a shitload of awesome BGM. By the way, not every character is absolutely cheap (I heard lots of you groan at that thought) as Ive got at least every iteration of all of your classic 2D Characters from Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Mortal Kombat, KOF, etc..
Thoughts on 2D Old School Tourneys?? I would love to throw them!!
