Anyone out there?

With VF5 being released this month, wondering if there is anyone out there in the Salt Lake/Ogden hell Provo to Logan looking to get some games in.

I have a PS3, pre-ordered the Asian VF5 and VSHG, and I would love to get something going. Gets lonely playing computer all the time, and my friends that are very, very casual about video games in general.

I'd love to set some stuff up soon, so if you're out there show yourself dammit.

Really quick update. Today I recieved my copy of VF5 and the HRAP3 from play-asia. Bumping this up, there has to be some utahans out there that want to get in some VF.

My schedule is hella flexible being I work nights and on 12 hour shifts so I have a lot of time to get some VF in.

Good News: The_Wall and I got in touch and got some games in on Friday night, and most likely will get together again on sunday evening and during the week.

Bad News: That is still only 2 people, granted 2 is definetly better than 1, but there has to be more Utards out there. The glory that is VF5 is a perfect way to get a scene growing. Looking forward to the games this week Wall.

I'm here definately up for some games tommorrow and maybe even thursday. Looking foeward to learning some more about the game. I know that there are more people that play the game but they work at the game store and are kind of into every other game out there too. I don't think they are at our skill level either. I have only played one of them but he is average at best.
I think the other problem is the people that play in the state don't register with vfdc. I played someone by the name of Ernie from what I hear he lives in Salt Lake City now he is the only other person that I know that plays at our level. He is registered on shoryuken.com, but I don't know what his internet nickname is. I think our best bet is to issue challenges to people who think that they are gamers to come learn from us and see if they can eventually be better than us!

Tonight is definetely on, thursday , I can play but it depends on the time most likely. I'm trying to get a few buddies to come over and play, but who knows if I can get them to play again and again.

Are you still having the get together on Sat? Unfortunetly I have to work and can't get out of it, which sucks, but hopefully you get those game store guys to come play.

Well hopefully with the release this week more utahns will pick it up, and we can slowly build a scene.

See you tonight

Wow, cool to see the dedication. \:\)

Make sure to check out your game store managers and ask for "who bought VF5?". You might be able to track some dudes.

Also try other fighting game communities as I'm sure there are other fighting gamers in Utah.

Thanks, any tips to build our community are always appreciated.

Anyhoo, I had a lot of fun today Wall, some great games. Hopefully you can stop buy tomorrow for a bit, I may have a couple of buddies coming over to check it out as well.

I was thinking that sometimes Gamecrazy does little in store tourneys of newer games, and that maybe we could see if they wanna throw together a VF5 one. I'm sure that could help us find a few more to add to the group.

Let me know for thursday, and hopefully I can swing by on Saturday before work.

Later

Brody

Wallace,

Good to see you making the Utah scene!


For all those that don't know - THE_WALL made the trip to SoCal last year. Sounds normal, right? EXCEPT... this man had no internet - no mapquest - he used a road atlas and just showed up at my house. It set the tone for the whole event. I knew right then and there - "Holy crap - this is gonna be something out-of-this-world."

I hope you can make the trip again, sir.

We've got people up here in Logan (specifically myself and Tony Stockseth, plus a few others we can pick up here and there), we've just been too busy lately to get anything organized. Probably also got a whole hell of a lot of rust to shake off, but hopefully we can get in on whatever you're putting together.

Also, when I went to pick up my copy, I was one of two preorders at the Logan EB. Tony doesn't have a PS3, so there's at least one other player floating around Cache Valley somewhere.

The most likely days for Logan VF would be Sunday and Monday. I'm recruiting at work and there's actually been quite a bit of interest, so let's rally the big troops and see how far we can take it. We could be an unlikely VF hotbed in the making.

Ernie is great, he's been to a lot of my tournaments up here. Really fun guy to just chill with too (there's a tape somewhere of Ernie and I just playing random fighting games for like six hours one time when we were bored...maybe Tony has it...). I seem to remember the last time he posted on SRK, he was under the name "DUBZ C BRICKWEED" or something.

Ask him about his boy Nate. Don't know how his VF game is, but he's pretty good at everything I've seen him play. Also, Samson Keonine should still be stationed at Hill, and I'm sure he's into VF when the opportunity comes up.

We've also got a bunch of guys in SLC, but they're mostly Street Fighter only from what I remember...maybe they've changed their minds since though.

Utah County...there's a Tekken guy by the name of Dana Torp, and I know he has a lot of love for Virtua Fighter as well...he may be too busy to play since he's got a kid now, but he'd probably at least be down for some casual play, and he's a decent stick builder when he finds the time. He also knows other players over there, so he could be a valuable resource guy.

Hope this information helps.
