I have very little experience with VF5 FS, but I would like to try it. Are this kind of events a usual thing, or at least groups that get together for informal fights?

Anyway, Im Flantomas in XBL, Ill be trying to contact you guys as soon as I re-gold my account.

 

These tournies happen every thursday and Saturday night if people don't show up to have a good bracket they have normal room battle. It is but it is a usual thing. It will be a good learning experience for you.

 

Just wanted to remind everyone that I won't be participating in tomorrow's events due to a shoulder injury.

 

This could be a chance to get the tourny stream if Blackstar is willing to do it since he wants to be a part of the tourny this week. This would also gauge the amount of real interest in it as we can see who is actually watching it in real time too.

So Blackstar would you be willing to stream it possibly. It will give people a chance to see and hear what is said in our tournies and how intense the conversations are between matches as well.

 

I'm not against the idea. But on the other hand, its like inviting a friend over to chill, then putting his ass to work as soon as he walks in the door. Besides, I'm still trying to fill the room for the night as i've only gotten very few confirms as of 5am this morning.

I kinda dropped the ball on sending out the message on Live this week due to shit happening at home . Got an early day at work today so hopefully I can fill the rest of the spots after I get home.

 

Bloodstyle, I would like to participate today. Due to geographical situation, I might be lagging a bit, but I still want to try it.

Also, do I have to add you in xbl or do you add me ?

 

I tossed you a FR on xbox, so just accept and we are good. I normally get a room going about a hour before so people can fuck around and warm up. As it stands now ( 12:30pm ) I still have 3 open spots for the evening.

 

Excellent, Ill accept as soon as I get home, in about 2 hours. Im still at work... watching VF videos.

 

If not for the fact that I won't be there tonight anyway, I'd have a problem with this. For one thing, once VFLive starts being streamed, people will expect it to be streamed every time from then on. That's something that should be saved for when we have that capability. Plus it would take views away from my channel.

 

This would be a potential test though to see what would happen. I know you are right digital but this test would see what might happen when it is streamed everyday by our normal group. I am not saying that he should be do it all the time just this 1 time though understand me with that okay.

 

Fair enough. As long as it's understood by the viewers that it's not going to be live all the time yet.

 

y'all musta missed my point. You DO NOT ask a guest to put in work. It's rude , let alone continue discussing it afterwards w/o any input from said guest whatsoever.

Anywho, down to 2 spots left open if anyone knows of some folks. I'm starting to think I'm burning out my friends lol.

 

IDK, i'ma kinda against live streaming for it. I think not being streamed, and being a weekly vfl tourny gives this thing its own flavor and allows it to stand out. It almost feels to me that if it was streamed it would bleed over into what blackstar it already doing and make them both feel less special IMO. Just my gut reaction though, and i always reserve the right to be wrong (because i am good at it!!). I mean, i want to make it a point to watch sunday raw (or at least check in on it) live. If i miss it i don't particularly feel inclined to rewatch the vods-altho i do at least click on them once in case blackstar gets a counter that he likes to go look at lol. On the other hand, i like that when i click on the VOD for thursday raw that i don't feel like i "missed" it and that i'm watching stale video of something i 'missed' already.


TLR i don't like it when "e-sports" coverage all blends together to be one faceless entity with blurred lines of differentiation, but that's just me.

 

....... the hell is "Thursday raw" ?? I miss something or are you mixing up our shit together?

 

Update. Blackstar took the over all win. Craigbot and Fortune took 2nd and 3rd respectively. Good fights all, enjoyed it all around

 

Its the first time I participate in something like this, ever. And it was an awesome experience! I learned more in this tournament than in my 60 ranking fights combined. And mostly just from watching, and being beat up by the senior fighters.

Sign me up for the next one!

 

Usually I capture and upload them to Youtube. I'd say probably 50/50 chance I'll be at tomorrow's VFLive. If not, then definitely next Thursday's.
