Northwest VF (Pacific NW, North America)

Had an awesome time at Best Bout last night (err, this Morning) ^_^

Thanks to everyone who showed up and all the good times including tons of great games! Among the VFers for the night:
*AJ/Taziri
*AJS
*Chanchai
*Fatbear
*FullMetalRoss
*Jetay
*R_Panda
*Travis
*Yangsing

And I'm sorry if I missed anyone.

Very good times and lots of good games.

I really enjoyed the training sessions including my personal following sessions:
* Akira mirror matches vs. Fatbear
* Lion training and mirror matches vs. Travis
* My Akira and Jean matches vs. R_Panda's Brad
* Jean mirror matches vs. Jetay
* My Jean matches vs. Yangsing's Kage and Taka

It's too bad I did not get matches in with Taziri, AJS, or Ross--I'm really looking forward to next time!

Yangsing's Taka-Arashi was extremely tough and were often my favorite matches of the night out of my own personal matches ^_^ I'm looking forward to more bouts against Taka!

Thanks again to everyone, I had an amazing time!

Cheers!

Damn, this is a good week to be a Virtua Fighter in the Northwest!

 

My mistake and too late to edit. When this hits as Counter Hit, it knocks opponent down and leaves them face-down, head-toward.

 

Thanks! Going to edit my clip of this accordingly ^_^

 

SEATTLE AREA REMINDER
Tonight is Thursday Night Fights @ Gameclucks and they will have both casual and tournament Virtua Fighter!

Support your local area VF! If you can make it to this event, you should definitely go!

Get some games in, try some new stuff out, enjoy the game with others, and maybe win a tournament!

Event Information Page

 

hey fellas, long time fighting gamer first time serious VF player here. I'm in vancouver and play Aoi on PSN.

Doesn't look like too many canadians are up in here but hey you guys know how close vancouver is if you want a non laggy match online

I am new but I've practiced hard and played honest since the jump, I'm not afraid of good players and will adapt when getting beat down by said good players

thanks

 

Kamais Ookin and Mackfactor are both in Vancouver but I'm not sure what their schedules are like, I would hit them up with a PM as I know they are looking for offline comp, especially KO.

I'll be at GC tonight.

 

Correction, I'm in Victoria!!! Don't lump me in with dem vancouverians.

 

cool thanks alot, I'll pm mackfactor

but I want nothing to do with this kamais ookin character, he seems unsavory, I am thankful for the body of water that separates him from me.

j/k but damn looks like you are on xbl and said body of water will prevent alot of offline play but hopefully one day we can do some games.

 

hey complexz, feel free to add me on xbox CLUTCH7 GOH
Duno how often i play vf anymore. I've been kind of out of VF for a bit, i do play once in awhile, but not as much as i used to. im hoping in the near future i can play alot more.

I prob wont be making it out to seattle.. im working
) :
but i wish i would have known earlier bout this event. I havent been posted or updated on VFDC lately.

 

I plan to post the week's upcoming events on Sundays/Mondays on VFDC and SRK. I do know that's not advance enough, but it keeps local people checking at the appropriate times.

For further advance notice, I do tend to make early announcements as soon as I can on the Northwest VF Group* ^_^ (Which you are a part of hehe)

But yeah, I will try to keep you up to date on events. And I would like to see more people go to Gameclucks too because they're trying VF now but they're really looking to see if they can get a pulse on it ^_^

So far, it's looking good, but I think it can be great. There are a lot of people seriously training VF in Seattle, much of them are pretty quiet though (like Duncan who played awesome in this tournament).

Seattle's sessions and tournaments are every Thursday though, at least for this month

* At the moment, I am only letting Northwest players into the Northwest VF Group. At some point in the future I'll be more open, maybe even a slow rollout if such a demand existed. But for now, I'm just using it to work on various aspects of the Northwest VF Community.

 

Can't believe I missed the one in Lynnwood it's like a 15 minute drive from South Everett, and I use to live there, sigh...

 

There's one next week, I believe as well. I'll be there and we will hopefully have a station for casuals.

 

well i'll have to pay better attention and see whats up with it.

 

This coming week will be loaded with quite a bit of VF Events in the Northwest!
Support your local events to keep your perfect VF experience alive!

Personally, I plan to be at Best Bout Beatdown for sure and at least one of the Best Bout events before that (most likely Friday night, though normally I would pick Tuesday if it's before a tournament).

Special Notes
Event Types:
"Fighting Sessions" are local events where you can challenge and train with others in Virtua Fighter. Otherwise known as "Casuals."

"Tournaments" are basically, tournaments. Players pay an entry and/or pool fee, compete in the event's chosen format, and the top winners of the tournament usually win prizes or money.

Note: If you would like to have your northwest Virtua Fighter event (whether it's at a public venue or is at a trusted but open private space like a home/apartment) listed and the word spread out to other Northwest VFers, feel free to post in this thread or send me a message ^_^

 

I'm planning on heading out to Best Bout on Tuesday for the last stretch run in gearing up for Evo. Hoping to play some Final Showdown and AE. Won't be able to make it out on Friday or Saturday, but hopefully enough of the training sessions will get serious enough for some practice before hand. GG's to anyone I've played from NW online as well.

 

Just finished with my 300th Ranked Match, and yeah....ready for Offline sessions and Lobby sessions, in that order. I'm free tomorrow, for either or, but I'll be holding a Lobby session tomorrow at 5pm for those interested.

I'll be at GameClucks on Thursday as well, for the tourney but mostly for Casuals, and I will have an extra setup!

 

(Lynnwood, WA)Thursday Night Fights @ Game Clucks
