Northern California VF Thread!!

As far as casuals this Saturday I will be attending the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Tournament at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, CA.

Thats right next to San Francisco Airport and just 5-6 freeway exits from my house but since the event is from 10am to 9pm I'm thinking about getting a hotel room. If thats the case then I will bring a setup or 2 for VF.

This is all still in the air and I probably won't know for sure until the night before so I'm just giving everyone a heads up.

 

I'm down to play if you have setups at a hotel room, cobra, just let me know. I'll probably be there anyway.

 

It looks like this happening. I'm gonna watch the event but after that (9:30-10pm) I'm ready to play VF til the sun comes up LOL.

 

Man that was a fun. Between the SF25 event and VF afterparty in my huge adjoining rooms suite it was a very memorable night. One hilarious highlight was Ali stalking Fuudo with his not so bad broken japanese. He looked bummed a bit from just had losing to Infiltration in SF4 and wanted to just hang with Daigo after but he seemed somewhat interested when I used the universal sign language for "lets down some shots". I'm sure Gamerbee would have stopped by if Tokido and the others were willing since he was pumped for some VF but Team Asia wanted to all stick together. It would have been interesting to see Renzo and Crazydrunk runback some matches against them from Evo.

It was good to see Afrocole and Rudeboy Armon come through as I havent seen them since Evo. They chose to play VF all night when there were other rooms with a bunch of capcom games going on with top level players from around the globe. Thanks to Ghostphacez and big ups to Skech for going on a latenite beer/snack run while also picking up Crazydrunk in the process after his band was done gigging. Also even though I had hella room for people to crash going out of your travel path to take people home was awesome of you.

Also silly me forgot to bring my 360 TE stick along with my xbox360 so if it wasn't for Soakrates dual mod stick and Armon's 360 stick being available the sessions wouldn't have went so smoothly. 3 setups was just right for the amount of players. Also with Armon who recently moved back to the Bay Area from socal we have a pleasantly good Akira finally to play with at upcoming gatherings. Also Afrocole talking about possibly moving back to norcal will increase the VF scene here in 2013. I'm happy we're still alive and kicking lets keep it going!

So...I guess we'll see what happens.

Well, I guess it's still on then.

 

San Rafael, huh? That's not so bad for me - I have relatives there I can crash with after the events, but it's a bit out of the way for the San Jose (and East Bay?) folks.

 

It's gonna be a drive. Before complaining too much, I'm gonna give it a shot this week and see what happens. Fingers crossed.

 

Was gonna sit this one out but it seems everyone is putting effort in to go so i'll be there. Most likely be carpooling with renzo, crazydrunk and ali. At least MLP715 has no excuses since he's only a few exits away!

 

Yeah, this is gonna be hard for me to get to. I get off work at 6, and all the freeways are still pretty jammed at around that time. I think I might get there by 7:30 if I'm lucky. I'll let everyone know tomorrow.

 

not sure where people live but if it helps its roughly 20mins' from the GoldenGate bridge if theres normal traffic and maybe 10min from the richmond bridge

 

Doesn't look like I'll make this one. It's going to take about two hours for me to get to Starbase from work, and by then it'll be past 8pm most likely. No sense in delaying the tournament that long, so I'll sit this one out. Have fun, peeps.

 

Hey we're on 580 near Berkeley in traffic trying to make it by 7. We are coming (me,East Bay Kage,Virtual Cosmic)

 

Glad we had a pretty good turn out last night considering the change of venue. Airegin even did stream commentary Harrison said he'll try to have the next one by early February at the latest and will not conflict with SoCal Regionals.

 

Just in case you guys haven't heard yet: http://blogs.sega.com/2012/12/19/sega-announces-virtua-fighter-5-final-showdown-tournament/

 

By the way, can we get a roll call for who plans to go to SoCal Regionals? Would be good start preparing now since it's less than a month away. I know I'll be there.

 

I'm already set to go to SCR, and will definitely make the April event!

Meanwhile, I'm back in NorCal, but also sick. *achoo*

 

yes for scr...

casuals tonight starting at 7:30pm

 

I am also sick, but will try to make it to Cobratron's today.

 

Ugh, scratch that. My head is fucking killing me. Can't make it tonight but hopefully I'll see everyone next weekend.
