Have A Crew??

[FistsofFury]

How many of you guys have a group...a team that you play with? Go to tournaments with, practice with, just in general feel like you're in a tight group with...and the focus is on your collective skills.

Do you guys hang outside of the games? Do you have a screening process to accept new members?

This is a little off topic, but I think more tournaments should be squad based. I think that would be cool, have different members of a squad play against other squads in various games to see who is the better overall crew.

[Remix1213]

Ya i do, its Team Tw!$t3d I made it 5 months ago we chill outside of games and we play games. There is no tryout or anything, the whole point of my group is to chill and meet new ppl and to make an impact on the community.

[Kid Wonder]

Right before the incident, my friend/ex boss started up a team for us called Team Revolution(IHADNOTHINGTODOWITHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!).

....I haven't heard that name in two months.

[ShinVegeta_Py]

yeap!! and name is: LA FAMILIA DEL MAL!

I have one, but only one guy goes to tourneys. He was 13th place in the Woodbine classics. The others are great and I'm the junior member, but I live outside of the area so I stop by whenever I have time. We practice or just play Halo.

where in brooklyn are ya'll?
im in jersey city, and need a crew to play street fighter with.

[ImPerfectCell]

I got a couple of really good players from newark that are too broke to go to tourneys lol. but we get together and play each other and i hang out with some of them. Some of them smoke together (even though i dont) and we all practice at my house since i got the arcade setup. We dont have a name. matter of fact, call is team newark i guess. Yo Keith, we takin over this shit when i get back son.

[LiSyaoran3063]

Yeah, actually I'm in Team ForceZ. We have crew members in Virgina and Oklahoma. Might be getting some in Kansas too. We throw our own tournaments sponsering us. In the VA area we throw 3 TTFZ tournys that went rather as the next one came. Then we had 2 at own local arcade. We were allways accepting new members that were willing to learn. Its very fun.

[TempestFox]

I'm a loner. =p

I have a few friends I talk to in the arcade like Chibi and Nick, but that's about it.

[FistsofFury]

Yeah my old crew Team Southfield was really something. We threw tournaments with just us and had tournaments in the area. We were skilled and were poised to really make a name for ourselves in the Michigan scene.

Then everyone including me moved away to college, and the younger members just didn't continue on the legacy (because they weren't that good and didn't care).

I wish I could bring it back, but I'm wondering what's the point. Half the crew will be in a month and a half.

do you know Big Mike? he told me to come out to irvington to play at that store on springfield.. havent been yet.
sign me up.

[cricket_egg]

Sup, I'm pretty much new to the forum stuff but for almost a year I've been putting together a team, we're called Side 7, we're based out of DC/MD/VA. We're trying to organize the Bring The Heat tournament centered at Montgomery College Rockville, you can check out the post over in the Tourney section for more on that. As far as what we do we usually hang out outside of gaming as well as inside it whereas we usually all agree on MvC2, CvS2, SCII, 3s, and KoF2k2. Then, like, personally, I'm big on the DOA and MK series, as well as Bloody Roar ( oh god, I can feel the flames coming on already ), while Yahikoholic is big on SNK stuff, and Dsparil is huge into GGXX#R. Plus we do FPS stuff on occasion, Halo 2, Timesplitters 2, all that stuff. As far as joining there's no real qualifications or anything, usually we've been doing stuff on Wednesdays in the Student Lounge at campus though we haven't been active lately as we probably should be, personally I really hope this tourney thing works out so we can get the scene active again and take it back to the days of arcade gold where you had to have skills if you were gonna put your quarter up. We'll see.....

You start a tournament, give a time and date, and we'll be there. we still got a month and a half left, plust whatever vacations we get.

As for squad based tourney's, they're actually pretty popular in Japan.

<--------- MEMBER OF TEAM STALLION

We were going to organize a 'squad'based tournament here in BC. We divided and arranged ourselves according to the arcades we play in. But it didn't go thru because our tourney organizer is ass (LoL taRiQ i hope you aint reading this)

Having a team tourney sounded fun.. until you realize 1) you have to make up for someone else's mess up, and 2) your mess up can cause your team to lose. Then you conclude : Street Fighter ain't no team sport.

I got a cut on my thumb its hurts like a biznatch i gotta stop typing now.

Its not a Team if you don't realize you have to help each other in developing skillz and just tell them to do your best. I guess your not the leader of your team... (or what once was)

[nanitaberu]

don't get me wrong lol I love the idea of SF teams. Just not Team Tourneys.

[Infernoman]

years ago our friends created team AoD (Angels of Death) We played Countersrtike, SF, MvC2, Diablo SSB:M and many other games. each of us had a specialty (Me being smash) Alas...what with school, and work, our team has disbanded. :sad: I only hang with one member of the team now but hopefully the AoD will return! :karate:

[LiSyaoran3063]

lol, I see. I still like Team Tournaments, considering I run the tournaments representing our team all the time.

[DEMON_JIM]

Yeah I got a crew I practice/chill/go to tournys/eat all the food in the fridge with. We arent necessarliy a "Team" as in we call our selves stuff. Mostly known around as The Harlingen Crew to other peeps. Our crew has been together for about 5 years now. We dont really induct members pretty much as long as you play games and arent stupid your cool. Although we have as a whole turned on one person cause he went against all of us which wasnt cool.

As far as an actuall team im part of DMS. A new team that recently formed has a few members over the US right now.

-DJ-

[LiSyaoran3063]

We got Members in Virgina, Oklahoma and Kansas. Its hotness! We're pretty organized to.
Allways looking to expand

I still think the idea of team tournaments would be at least refreshing. Street Fighter doesn't have to be an individual sport, you can up the scale and turn individual battles into a war.

Team Fucking Loblaws

I agree with this 100%. Do you preferr "fight by fight" or "king of the hill" style?

[FistsofFury]

Hmm good question.

Right now I'd be leaning towards fight by fight, meaning the team itself selects who is going to compete in various games (limit 2 games per member or something like that) And if they're enough players draw up a bracket, if not individual matches.

In a bracket first place would get like 5 points, 2nd like 3, 3rd one. And whoever has the most points wins. And if it were individual you get a point of you win and nothing if you lose.

What do you mean by King of The Hill?

[LiSyaoran3063]

What do you mean by King of The Hill?

I mean like 5 on 5 (3s or any game)

King of the Hill is like if guy 1 on team A fights guy 1 on team B. Team A wins and guy 1 remains and then fights guy 2 on team B. And if guy 1 on Team A wins again, he stays and fights guy 3 on team B until he loses (kind of like that great 3s japanese 5 on 5 match put out late 2004)

Fight by Fight is guy 1 on team A fights guy 1 on team B, and regradeless who wins, the next fight is guy 2 vs guy 2.. see?

Your looking at the more over all, multi-game way. Thats a nice system you got there though.

[FurryCurry]

[EX-Sucker Punch]

We had Team ForceZ here in VA.

Our "leader" moved away.

But luckily we still got some decent GGXX#r players left.

[FistsofFury]

God I can't wait to have my own place just so I can do shit like that.

[Festival6667]

Team member : Festival
Team name : Shishin
Other members : Maker, Shinshen, ZPM
Focusing on : developping fine skills, exploiting flaws and making vids, playing Garou till the end of the night, Domi-nating the world, etc.

The team has more or less died though, since two of us left for the US and the UK respectively... We still have a few projects in (slooooow) progress though.

[Master Chibi]

I created Team Light Kick.

Nothing serious mind you, but it could be.

Think I'll start it up soon.

;D

[LiSyaoran3063]

No, it couldn't be. LOL

[Master Chibi]

I've gotten plenty of offers to have it be serious, don't count it out buddy. Certainly not at the level that you crew is at, but come time for a tournament you just might hear us representin'.

Haha.

;D

Ill be waiting for that day yo. :tup:
Peace out

[SNK Guitarist]

Don't have a crew. I'm a one-man wreckin' machine :cybot: Haha, seriously though.. would be cool to be in one, but fuck if there's barely anyone around me.

[FistsofFury]

Bump.

(FILLAR)

[Brooklyn]

Tampa's Crew is at least 8 deep with lots of outside players around that roll out to game with us. but we aren't acting like we're a crew as of late :(

[FistsofFury]

This is the only thread I have in FGD. It won't die!

I still like this idea. And I still like this thread.

Saotome don't murder meeeeeee!

[Saotome Kaneda]

Heh....Should I or shouldn't I...? *finger hovers over the lock button*


Kidding. =p


It's wierd, CTF actually has two crews, Empire and all of it's cells, and the CTF regs who are in this terrorist cell-type setup where almost all of us call CTF our home base, and yet most of us never interact with each other or hate each others(or certain people's friends) guts. =p

But I'll always have love for TLK, even if Chibs acts lame sometimes. =D

You really need to get those shirts, bro. That would be so beastly. =D

Oh, and make me an Orville TLK Mod Lock AV. ;_;

[Cybuster]

No crew at all. Closest I get is that StreakSRM and I attended Evo 2005 together, despite being from different cities. There's just nobody who plays this stuff anymore where I live...they haven't in, what, 8-10 years? I play the AI and XBox Live people because that's all I've got.

So, plenty of interest...just nobody else here.

[jasegfstyle]

team fuck up

[XTG]

i defected from my old crew...

[archetype]

State College Crew Mutherfuckers. The Firm Reps State College To The Fullest. Bam!!

[kenmastersX]

I used to more or less have a crew until Katrina fucked us up and scattered us to the random cities and states around.

[strakka]

Oh, the videogame crew battles. They need to make a movie about it. Kinda like You Got Served, but with videogames and BGM music instead of breaking & hiphop music.

Exceprt from You Got Served: Evo2k4 edition

Jwong: stuff & SA2
Daigo: parry SA2 + combo for the win
Jwong: "wtf just happened?"
Daigo: "I'll tell you what happened. You just got served!"
Daigo, KO, Kokujin, KSK, etc: "SERVED! SERVED! SERVED! SERVED! SERVED! SERVED! "

Of course, this would all need to be done with their Japanese accents, so "served" would turn in to "served-u" or something.

And then, everyone in the audience would have join in. :tup:

[G.O.T]

Im in Clan IB. (IB-Im Better) Funnier than a mug as how it started.
We only play SF, SSBM, RPGs, and Halo 1 not 2. but i hate fps. i just like how halo is competitive. i dont like it. at all really. sf all da way. drink, eat soul food, and talk about females and new anime all day.

[Ki Shima]

having groups is the way to go for fighting games, it gives the whole scene a certain quality, need to get more people enthusiastic about it tho

[Skyler]

im a lonely player for life :sad:

[ParryAll]

Team Middboss Represent!!
(it's 2 people -_-)
