    Well, given how late I was up last night I don't think I can stay that long. I'm already starting to feel the effects haha. But yeah, I'm planning on getting there early and getting in one set with Chanchai. Hope others can make it early, too.

    Shouldn't be a problem, and I am honored that there are people watching the stream, even super late (early morning EC) ^_^ And I think Slash enjoys serving the audience!

    Had fun chatting with Cozby last week on Tuesday and you (Chibiaya) on Friday ^_^ And also glad Unicorn seems to enjoy watching the matches, I think I remember Pana watching, even!

    Honored that people are taking the time to watch us Portlanders fight hehe.

    I should be there by nine. I'm always interested in streaming Portland VF, and I hope you guys like watching! I hope we can keep doing more VF streaming on our casual days.

    Chanchai has said he's wanting to do more training oriented sparring and discussion, especially this Tuesday. I think expanding this idea to having training Tuesdays and competitive Fridays would be really neat and give a better pull to the two days we have if we give each a slightly unique purpose. If we have the right number of players, having a round robin or small tourney on Fridays could be great to differentiate the days, and grab more viewers with an actual event for VF on stream. What do ya'll think?

    So the turnout was small in Saturday, but the matches were a lot more compact, meaning there was some new stuff from Julien just playing a lot tighter and Sorias playing more solid without going for so many reversals and being a lot more aggressive on offense with mix ups. I was playing to risky as that's what gets me the W, but it wasn't working that much this time around.

    My first couple matches with Sorias, made me wish VF had the air recovery mechanic from Fighting Vipers. I was in the air so much and it wasn't from demon dance >-<. I was trying to be more deliberate with my moves and trying to recognize situations in a more text book way, but my reactions need more work. Especially when I get hit on normal. Have some training stuff I need to do to work on flow in general.

    Im pretty stoked to play again, offline!

    HEADS UP, PORTLAND! (Tonight should be awesome!)
    Tuesday was pretty sweet at Throwdown Tuesdays at Best Bout, TONIGHT IS LOOKING REALLY GOOD! You can check out the X-Factor Friday's page in the Tournament/Events Boards for more information.

    HEADS UP, SEATTLE!
    Seattle activity has been pretty steady, which is better than a lot of scenes and what you need to keep the scene growing! GameClucks has been awesome for the VF players in the Seattle area by hosting their weeklies and monthlies. Keep it up and keep supporting these events!

    Also, another venue is offering time and a place for those who could use some good regular (ie. weekly) action in the Southern Seattle area! If you've had trouble playing the VF gang because Northern Seattle is a bit difficult, then a Southern Seattle alternative might not be a bad idea and might show that there are more Seattle players than known! Gamebreakerz is down in Kent I believe (or was it Auburn?) and they have available fight nights on Tuesdays!

    Just letting you guys in Seattle know!

    GBZ is in Auburn. Cool venue but the people that play this game are up north or on the east side when it comes to VF. Don't let that stop anyone for them south side to show up though!

    GBZ has monthlies so that's one thing to consider.

    Virtua Fighter and other games (SF4, maybe GGXXACP if I buy it lol) happening at my house downtown by request tonight. This time, for the first time, featuring two new Asus setups, and we'll have the main floor available to us as well. Three already confirmed.
    9pm
    Message for address/phone number.

    I should be down at Best Bout tonight close to 7 till the caffeine can't prop me up anymore. Have been playing doa5 (which is actually pretty awesome and we should be playing too dammit) so if I start mashing 4g I guess you know why.

    Is the monthly tournament actually happening tomorrow? Didn't see anything on the website. I would like to be there but the timing may be iffy for me. Any idea when VF starts?

    I'll try to be there just after seven. If I get too exhausted to play VF, I guess I could ask you to show me some stuff in DoA. I'd probably play Sarah, or..is Pai in the game?

    You at least need a fake Facebook account, Shinryu, please, lol. All of Best Bout's activities are promoted and discussed on there. I have a feeling the site hasn't been updated due to Fatbear being out of the country and not being quite as involved for some time, but Best Bout Beatdown 17 is happening. I hope this link works, it's from my mobile.

    VF is at 4pm this month. Expect a decent turnout and a great tournament. :3

    Pai is in it. Not as fun as VF Pai, but that's probably because it's DOA. Won't be able to catch the stream tomorrow but I look forward to archive if VF BBB17!

    Ok, dammit, I'll get the fake FB back up. Established it and immediately forgot the password as I R SMRT.

    I actually don't know shit about the VF characters in DOA. They should play mostly the same in terms of command list though. Does BB even have a disk? I didn't bring mine with.

    No, and the only person I know who owns the game is Slash, and he both probably won't make it tonight and would have to be asked to bring the game with him. There was a DoA player asking around last Friday, but he hadn't brought the disc with him at the time. Perhaps he'll be there tonight, with the game?

    I realize now that Chanchai didn't create a thread for BBB17 on vfdc.(not that he has to, but he does make them usually:) I'll make one when I get home.

    Just a heads up that I will try to make it to X-Factor Friday @ Best Bout tonight (November 16th)!

    UPDATE: I AM X-FACTOR FRIDAY CONFIRMED! I plan to be there from 10:30pm until late night (probably 2am)!

    Try to share the link to the stream for everyone: www.twitch.tv/bestbout/

    Coming back from Thailand I just found out Afro-Cole's been in town so I'm looking forward to a session with him as well as others like AJS, Yangsing, Panda, Fatbear, Mackinzie, OMNE, Zony, Hollis (Shinryu Returns), and Shinryujin!

    Also, don't forget that tomorrow is Seattle's Monthly Tournament: Saturday Slugfest @ Dante's (Presented by GameClucks)

    Just thought I'd post and say rounds at R_Panda's were great on Sunday night. Y'all need to get down there when he throws a thing (and props to the people who made it). Trying to work out my evade tech better for next time, BTW... and I can bring sticks too. I might try to get an Asus over the holidays too to bring if I can get a good deal. Been wanting one anyway.

    Thought I'd ask: anybody know if BB is doing stuff on Friday since it's Thanksgiving? Tuesdays are just too much of a bitch with work the next day and I'd love to come down on Friday but didn't know if they were still doing it.
