SoCal VF5 party, E3, Zero-Chan!

Hey there! Something cool is going on. It's that E3[/size] thingie that still exists in some form or other. What's also cool is this...


"Hey Plague,

I'm going to be in LA from July 10-15 for the New-and-Disimproved-E3, and I'd love to do some hanging-outing with the SoCal crew. Are you up for it?" - Zero Chan[/size]

Sweet!


And, in answer to her question, of course I am up for it /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif ...


It's time to play at Plague's house!

Pack up your PS3s, High Grades, and RAP3s. Bring your VF5 skills and come to battle with the best SoCal, North America, and the world has to offer. Players from all over the globe are welcome to attend. I think it's definitely worth the effort.

There's always something magical about these events and the universal thought from the people that miss them could actually be this.[/size]

Event Date: Friday, July 13th

Party Place: Plague's House - 8538 Wild Pony Drive, Riverside, CA 92509

Party Time: 8:00 pm and on into the early morning if people are up for it!

Will you hit traffic? Yah, it's Southern California - you bet there will be traffic. Don't let that sway you! This trip is worth every minute of it.

What we provide: 32" SDTV (480i), US PS3 with VF5, two Virtua High-Grade sticks, four 20" widescreen Dell Monitors with HDMI to DVI cables + audio, two 25" (or so) SDTVs, air conditioning, fridge full of soda, various chips, pretzels, and what-not, places to sit, room for five or six (maybe seven?) VF setups.

What you all need to bring:[/size] PS3s, your standard composite cables (the ones that came with your PS3), sticks, and VF5 discs. Please make the effort to bring these things - your contribution will add so much to this event. Besides the 32" SDTV, we have six ready-to-use displays (two SDTVs and four HDTV monitors). We need your gaming set-ups.[/size]

What about food? Everyone usually chips in for food. Lots of fast food in the area. Good sit-down restaurants, too. Plus, there are pizza places that deliver.

Who's gonna be there? Well, in the past we've had some of the best that Southern California, the West Coast, the East Coast, and the world has to offer - any one of them could make a return visit: akiralove, andy, Myke, Srider, Joey (GY_beta), mukatsuku_shun, YOSUKE, ice-9, bearcrusher, kurita, shin, Namflow, Rocket Pai, adamYUKI, kazu, Shag, Konjou_Akira, Denkai84, maddy, thebradSHow, s_aki, Ladon, DRE, Chanchai, HowBoutSum, GodEater, MADrox, Kaminari_Oyaji, stompoutloud, Jerky, SiYkO, Pushku, IronJUNKIE, Shang, Shou, Zero-chan, Fishie, growcian, afroconnexion, EL_Brisal73, L_A_Akira, Team Tokyo Mafia (PhoenixDth, Sean, GoatCheeseBlues), Ken__I, Exile, SillyWilly, KTallguy, Unsafe_Dan, CaliJared, Lion-2P, KoD, Renzokuken, Raoul, THE_WALL, snapz, sirphobos, Lawrence, Paolo, Tierzo, Riona, FatalRose, Matt_K, Type Tenchi, Banes, Mindscan, Whoa_its_Eric, Mike90210, vf5akira, Gribbly and Team Pandemic (Austin, Forrester, Jimmy), sgtsmurf, Joon, Weslyzm, 2012, firstpressing, Rikyu, Adam, Amir, Chris, Chris II, Adrian, Peter, Mike, Jacob, Collette[/size] and many more!

Maybe this time we'll get six setups going! Maybe even seven!

What's gonna happen? Lots of VF5. Major good times.

Remember this: During a SoCal VF Event - Sleeping is not important. School is not important. Work is not important, either - that's what every other day of the year is for![/size]


Please post your intent to show up right here on this thread - it generates excitement and results in larger attendance.

VF5! E3, Zero-Chan! YES! RANKING BATTLE! PARTY!

 

Count me in. I will be there Friday instead of Thursday.

 

Right on! Please bring your set-up.

Also, ranking battle added! 10:00 pm. Anyone can enter.

 

Ranking Battle moved to 11:00 pm.

 

I am in

 

most likely wont be able to make it as I have capoeira class that evening. sorry.

 

I might be able to make this one. The drive might be killer at 2 in the morning, so is it alright if I bring a sleeping bag and crash at your place?

(woot for no work on Sat!)

I can provide another setup if needed, but I only have 2 Fighting Stick 3s (They work, just they aren't as sexy as a high grade).

 

You should talk with other SD guys Sebo and see if you guys can carpool together, I'm sure if Dustin/Aaron or others have some free time they won't mind.


I will be definately there, however I will be late night only due to work and hapkido. (hey at least you know me and gerald can handle dues lol)

 

I think Dustin is playing a show with his band on Friday and Paul/Aaron hasn't mentioned anything as of yet.

Going alone might be the best option though, as I wouldn't risk driving back home that late... it wouldn't be pretty. Plus, Sat is a day off for me.

 

Sebo, you are welcome to sleep here. Glad you plan to make this.

By the way, Zero-Chan is a long-time Vanessa player. Hopefully that makes things extra cool for you both.

 

EL_Brisal73 "El Brisk" and I will be there late....probably around 10ish. I will bring my setup as well.

 

Wish I could go tonight guys...Have a blast. See you next weekend!

 

Ah - most excellent. See you both when you arrive.

SweepTheLeg - see you next time for sure. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

 

Hey Plage:

Please take a couple of pictures of Zero-Chan for the Virtua Fighter Dominican League. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

We find so cool the fact that this girl really plays VF!!

So please, ask her polite for a couple of pictures. One of them playing VF (with a VSHG of course).


Regards,


Heta Akira

 

I'll see if she's up for that after she wakes up. It's funny - she and my wife were battling it out last night and I was thinking about taking pictures. I'm so bad with that. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif

I've made the comment to people before when they've fought... "There are the top female VFer's in the USA, and they're playing together right now."

 

Well, it was a fun gathering. Thanks for the hospitality Plague & howboutsumdimsum. Thanks for keeping me awake El Brisal "cheapassblaze". Nice meeting you all: MattK, Unsafe Dan, Sebo, Zero-Chan. I'm sorry if I missed anyone....I was half awake last night.... oh and Dan...could you document that stuff that you taught me last night and PM it to me? ;p

C-yas next gathering.. (whenever I can make the next one.... -_-)

 

Good games to everyone, that was real fun stuff. Cool talking to Matt K and Kai.

Kai, regarding the Sarah combos, most of them are available on the VFDC wiki now, look at "site menu" on the left side of the screen. Choose VF5 > Sarah > when you come to page scroll down to "Combos"

Her DC, SC, heel drop, and MC leg slicer combos are available there.

PS: Pai and Kage are evil.

 

That was fun.

KNEE! (delay) KNEE!


(must learn how to play against Wolf and Akira)

Fishie, Arigatou!!

Not one, but two photos of this long history girl Vfer.

I really hope someday to be able to attend to one of Plage gatherings and meet Zero-Chan in person.

Thanks again,


Heta Akira
