Blade

Wisconsin, the "other" Hollywood.

Recommended Posts

This here be Blade country, and though I will not partake, I don't mind if you have beer and cheese and brats, just don't puke on my fighting game collection.

I've been in Milwaukee, Whitefish Bay, Greenbay, Eu Claire, Waukesha, Laona (backwoods), Iron Mountain, Rudolf, Steven's Point, and very rarely Madison, Racine, and Kenosha. Though I'm mostly centered towards Milwaukee.

You name it, I've probably got it. Samurai Showdown Anthology, Last Blade Anthology, SVC Chaos, CVS2, MVC2, HNK, RF, F/UC, SSHC, SC2, SC4, NGBC (no load time), MBAA, KOFMI2, and a crapton of Japanese games and shmups (even have a vertical monitor).

As of now, I have every single PS2 Guilty Gear game in existence (X+, Korean #R, Isuka, Slash, AC+) , and will be getting BBCS quite soon. So I'm hyped for that.

I warn you, I'm a sore loser, so be prepared to play several hours in training mode with me if you're considerably better in skill.

Also, to be clear, Chicago, despite being big, is nowhere near me, so Frosty Faustings is unlikely an event to visit. I might consider setting up a table at Midwest Gaming Classic or something, if they allow mods that is.

Otherwise we'll just have to set something up. I know a good place that rents out big screen TVs for a rather cheap price too.

Don't even ask me about Guitar Hero, DDR, or Halo...I will flatout reject you.

Ah crap. I totally didn't notice people replied! I gotta track my threads more! Digimonemperor if you're ever online, just add me to your friends list and we'll go at it, my PSN tag is Mimeblade.

And if you're ever in Milwaukee, we need to hook up or set up or something...just don't expect any money matches from me, as I use that cash for more...lucrative investments.

Sadly I do not own a 360 so that's out unless someone wants to set up and event in Milwaukee we can all go to. I don't mind shelling out cash to rent some place for that...but maybe you guys can chip in?

How can you say no to Frosty Faustings 3? =/

Anyway, there are people in Wisconsin that play Blazblue. But none of them know about Dustloop. :3

This WI thread is pretty dead. :(

Still checking up on it periodically, but looks like I'm the only 360er here. You know, of the three WI people actually posting here. :I:

Yo, figured I'd go ahead and register after lurking dl for info since the ggxx/ days, since I'm moving to Madison in a couple of weeks and was wondering if there is any BB scene in WI. Or well anything else really, I'll play pretty much any fighter, I'm just best at BB. So yeah, any WI gatherings/arcades/whatever anywhere? Or even in the Chicago area, although I likely wouldn't be able to make it over there until October-ish. Regardless, I'll be up for netplay pretty much anytime after I get up there in a couple of weeks.

I'm the man to talk to about that Tager-Bro.

In case anyone wants to know, Frost Faustings usually happens once a year near New Years and it's in Illonois down south of Chicago last I heard. It's quite a trip. I forget who runs it.

Ya I just saw the IL thread, gotta say, GGA sounds like a pretty sweet setup. Once I get settled in and manage to afford a vehicle and such, I'm definitely planning on going to check that out. And I'll probably be able to make it to future AreaXIII ranbats since they're on Saturdays. Unfortunately yeah, it'll be October before I can grab a car and make it out there, until then I can't really go anywhere that Madison's city buses don't go lol.

So, nothing really in WI, huh. Or everyone's on SRK. But yeah, if anyone here wants to play me in netplay, feel free to add me, probably won't have a playable connection until first week of September though, since I'm still in NC til then.

Like I've said before, I'm a lame duck and don't own a car, so if anyone wants to bring me anywhere, I don't care, I'll bring my shit with me...just give me two outlets and a TV to hook stuff up to and we're good.

I can start hosting sessions at my place. And I'm running a BB:CS tourney once a month at Paul's Video Arcade in Racine, WI.

If you guys are down for some offline casuals and wanna hangout just send me a PM.

There's also a MUCH MORE ACTIVE WI thread on SRK:

Woo WI. Finally moved into my apt and got settled in, and played some netplay. I get better connections with some of my friends back in NC from here than I did when I lived < 2 hours from them...

And I ran into ya a couple of times the past couple of days online Kristoph, first 4 bar connection I've ever seen. GGs, nice Jin. I'll send friend req's to you and anyone else in this thread that's up for netplay next time I'm on.

I wish I could make it out to Racine for the tourney, hopefully I'll be able to make it out there October. Need a car =/

ggs to people today, and of course whenever I may have played you in the past (actually I think I'd only played dooku before in CS, pretty sure I've crossed paths with mimeblade at least once in CT though). wish I could have gotten more matches in but I got a phone call >_>

feel free to hit me up for matches any time though for sure =)

GGs to whomever I played recently. I hope you enjoyed the matches we had, twas fun. Eventually we'll need to get together and play some offline. The next WI BBCS tournament I am running is October 30th. So please mark your calendars.

The location will be at Paul's Video Arcade.

Further details will be posted and linked soon, in the tournament announcements section of this site.

If anyone isn't on my friends list, and would like to be (PSN), please shoot me an invite.

Yeah, GGs to everyone I've played recently. Sounds good, at this point I'm kinda unsure if I'll get a car or not, I'm liking public transit so far and I'm not looking forward to paying for a car + gas + insurance. Is there anyone from the Madison area that might go? Maybe I could get a ride with someone (I'd pay for gas).

Or... if I was really desperate or something I guess I could take a bus out there (looks like I could get a greyhound roundtrip to/from Racine for like $48...). Or I could just suck it up and buy a car.

Just wondering, are any of yall importing AH3 this winter? I'm kinda thinking about flying out to Final Round next year since it's probably a good bit cheaper than EVO, and AH3's gonna be played there.
