It was a lot of fun, thanks to FFA for hosting this along with the Trieu as well. Also thanks to SNK for letting us have this loke test for the game. Thanks Tom for running the tournament, congrats to Oscar for getting first and good games to everyone I played.

I just saw the pics...amazing and congrats to everyone that made this happen.

The fact that you even got a KOF tourney organized too with 20+ ppl is amazing in itself. Mad props. I'd ove to read more SNK results on here that arent just from Dark Geese's tournaments.

I read on snk-capcom from Trieu that a EC/WC location test is planned for KOF12 too. IF that's the case, the EC test site should be at Chinatown Fair without question.

Please make this happen.

Didnt even know those were your pictures dude. Master Chibi created a avatar from those photos (since Spooky is that dude buying the Arcana 2 board) for this group:

I didn't even know what you were talking about until you cited the pic. If it really bothers you I can take mine down. Why didn't you just ask us to take it down directly. It is a public pic on the internet after all :confused:

If you have a problem with people using your pictures maybe you should think about using a creative commons license on them instead of keeping them listed as public on Flickr in the future.

If you want to make it so there are no derivatives of your work posted you need a nc-nd license which would say that it's free to share but only credit given and it being used how you want and for non-commercial and no derivative works.

Which would have stopped this from happening to begin with! By the way, Flickr definitely does make use of the CC license system so you should look onto that for your future pictures.

Hey guys, let's keep the topic on the KoF Tournament please.

Also: Hey, to everyone that was there at the KoF Location Test, could you post what kinds of bugs and suggestions you found to submit to SNK-Playmore? The build is like 98% complete but there's still time to implement some suggestions. Thanks!

Turn out was great. Tourney was great. It was fun changing the monitors just for these games. It was great seeing everyone there and playing you guys, even if I did get destroyed in the tourney.

Yo Oscar, let us know when all the vids are up. I only see one.

Thanks to FFA for letting us steal two cabs for a few hours ;)

Props to Phae and Arturo for acting with class. SANCHEZ for life.

Oscar, you ever at the ARCADE FANTASTICO these days? I need to get close to my roots.

So, are you gonna follow up on that threat? At least you got SOMETHING right. I AM East Coast. Go figure. :rolleyes:

It's more of a suggestion. A threat usually implies some kind of harm.

Tom-Are there any 2K2 posters left? I wanted to get one for my friend in Vegas.

yeah you are so right...I wish I could have went to it too but I was at Ft. Irwin doing drill that weekend:shake:so is the game at FFA for the long run or was it just a simple playtest and they just took the stuff out afterwards? This type of stuff is whats gonna get me back into playing fighting games again!:woot:

Now if I could only meet some of you guys to get my game back on for real! Something's always holding me up!

Um, there were a bunch of them in the trash can by the bathroom last night, I saw them when I was helping Arly-bun bring in some rags. About twenty, maybe? You might wanna check and see if they're still there.

EDIT: Sanchez, I got ahold of Arly and he'll save you the posters.

03-10-2008, 01:31 PM

i gave my extra poster to leo, but i'll trade you my 2k2 for your mature&vice

WadeWilson

03-10-2008, 02:13 PM

The tourney was great. I'm not from the area, but happened to be there over that weekend!

I also didn't place, but I had good matches with the people who knocked me. I was the first person who put Choi on his team, so I don't really seem him as an often-used character during the tourney since only one other person used him.

In any case, to the guy that used Billy to counter my Billy: Mad props! You totally kick butt and so did everyone else there.

Much respect.

Arlieth Tralare

03-10-2008, 02:51 PM

I saved the KoF 2K2 posters from certain doom since one of the workers here (Tim) didn't know what they were for and put them in a bin near the back.

Sad that we don't actually have a 2K2 here ^^;; Then again, I'd be seeing Choi/Kim/Kula teams all day and that would drive me batty.

BTW, does anyone know what on earth Shermie's twd+A is for? Aside from looking ditzy?

I saw mine....I cant fight Choi at all.....I suck :sad:

I know we left about 20-40 KOF2k2 posters at FFA, Im surprised more people didnt ask for them at the show, it was once we took them to the back that they wanted them(some people wanted to use the air hockey table we had them on).

Those mature&vice posters were fiya, but the mob was just too big to try to play a game just to get one. Not to mention my kof knowledge is really just knowing the moves from cvs2, and I suck at that game too.

Yo we can just meet up in Juarez or Tijuana..deal?

I'm in Mexico frequently now...Levelling up in KOF..

[QUOTE=Master Giby;4901009]I saw mine....I cant fight Choi at all.....I suck :sad:

Is not that you suck, if you noticed I had problems with Choi. Actually I've always had a difficulties against Choi.

Choi is the character I have most troubles with. Even a low level Choi gives me troubles at times. And the fact that I havent played much doesnt help me either. :/

I'm going to pick the game up again since Im sure its going to get lots of play this year.
