Hi there,

You don't need to register on SRK for Heroes World casuals. You're more than welcome to just drop in and play.

The TOSF HQ is another venue that requires pre-registration as they have limited space. You can check their thread here:
http://shoryuken.com/f248/team-stc-presents-tosf-hq-its-here-toronto-256046/

Hope that helps.

Said it before and will say again, this truly is a good deal. Fellow SF junkies don't sleep on the generosity Heroes World is offering up.

syn13

Just paid the $15 today, very very good deal for regulars. My buddy(padkuma) doesn't come that often and he paid it as well though I remembered it being $20 lol!

Also 20% off Second Cup coffee when I'm there! lol!
Never noticed that it was the preferred coffee over Mcdonalds(just noticed how many SC cups there were tonight!).

YRSF Stick Bags are now available for $39.99. They'll be available for puchase at Heroes World in Markham beginning Wednesday Dec 8th.

YRSF Stick Bags $39.99 | Facebook

syn13

Hidey Hidey Hidey...if only you had a clone VLX Pro Travel Bag available but nonetheless, very very cool to have some YRSF merchandise, get some Tees!

BTW hows the protection of the bags, are they basic or do they provide padding, plastic takes a good banging but wood cases absorbs hits.

omega_orochi423

More merch is in the works, coming down the pipe for the New Year.

These are pretty standard issue, no real padding. We can look into getting something more versatile but pricing is an issue once you start to get fancy.

syn13

Ah nice!
I think if you can make a EVO bag clone but higher quality(heard a lot of people say, it's really not a real stick bag because it's essentially "just a bag" with an EVO print), people will go crazy for it. Something like a white and turquoise coloured bag for YRSF represenin' colours, I'm sure a good number of the HW attendees will love one since I've noticed a good number just carry their sticks from their car to the shop.

omega_orochi423

YRSF will be joining forces with both Heroes World in Markham and Microplay Video Games Newmarket to host midnight launches for MVC3.

Pre-order your copy of the game at either location today!

More details to follow.

Heroes World is doing a 2 hour casual session during the midnight launch. Microplay Video Games in Newmarket will also be doing a midnight launch with gaming available on at least 2 stations.

AV Specialist needed!

Greetings all! YRSF is looking for someone to take ownership of recording, editing, uploading, etc of match footage from casuals and tournaments at our existing and future venues.

If you?re in the GTA or York Region area and are interested in helping us out let us know!

EricGGMusic

as long as i can make it out of my house, i am willing to record matches

AndyE

picked up an HD PVR jon? or do you need someone to bring it for the recording?

syn13

Mightnight MvC3 Launch for HW! Gonna try to make it for that even if I am working(I usually get off by 11:20 so I can make it)!!
Pat sounds really excited about it that he's stopped playing SSFIV unless it's casual nights at HW.

Thanks Eric! Appreciate the support. We can discuss more at length on Wednesday Casuals @ HW this week.

Hey Andy,

Looking for someone to manage recording, editing, and uploading of whatever footage we can capture. There's been interest from a few folks already which is fantastic. I would like to make sure we go forward with what is most convenient. I'm not familiar with what method of capture/upload is the cleanest and least time consuming. In the past we've just used HD Camcorders/Digital Cams and uploaded raw to Youtube.

Would an HD PVR be tricky to hook-up and upload from?

hell yeah

hells yeah!

Probably get MvC3 for 360...possibly collector's edition but I hardly read comics...got 16 or whatever issues of Halo and Red Sun just waiting to be read lol!

EricGGMusic

syn13 - can you tell me where you print your templates and how do you go about in doing so? do you just say, go to a Staples and have your PSD in a USB drive and be like "hey can you print this out for me for such a cost?"

omega_orochi423

So AH3 hits this week! Copies will be available for sale through Omega Collectables and/or Heroes World and for demo-play at Heroes World in Markham once they touch down.

It's a great looking game and brought to consoles by Arc System Works a la GG and BB fame!

For those of you who aren't familiar peep this link:

omega_orochi423

Thursday Night Throwdowns (TNT) are on today at my place. PM me if you need directions.

Admission is FREE (much like my Blanka) but we always welcome donations either in person or via PayPal at yorkregionsf.ca

omega_orochi423

Oh and I have to give huge props to Chowwun for doing an absolutely amazing (as expected) DM job on my XB360 Chun Li TE-S.

I never had any concern leaving her Ta-Ta's in his capable hands.

If anyone needs a DM job done super clean, quickly, and professionally I highly recommend his services.

chowwun

I don't think my hands were big enough to cover her massive ta-tas...

Good thing you don't what happened behind closed doors...

*COUGH*

Thank you for the recommendation though! =) lol

The Printing House @ Steeles and Woodbine did a great job for graphic prints. I had to print my Qanba art on bigger label paper(then laminated), cost was about $6 which is very good. I got my SE graphic done at Kinkos/FEDEX Office fro $5.70 but I had to do it all myself whereas the guys at TPH just asked me specifically how I wanted it printed. Being that someone that works there that has a buddy that does templates there, it was more of a reassurance.
Something that needs to be printed on the VLX will run $25 because they can't do something that big in house and it was printed on high quality vinyl, not laminated paper.

So yeah, just goto TPH and give them your thumb drive with the PSD files that you need to print. From what I noticed is that it's easier to have it in a .PDF file with the button templates gone so they won't have to convert it.

Gotta do some money management, my Master Grade ReZel Command Type is available and my Alter Valkyria Chronicles Selvaria is arriving soon from my dealer in Halifax but I'm sure I'll be good for the Dual Mod for Wun. Yes, I also strongly recommend Wun Yan as a DM Specialist for all the work he did on my Qanba, everything else should be a walk in the park for him now lol!

EricGGMusic

Do you think you can help me if I sent you my PSD file? I assume you did the cutting of button holes on your own?
