it is not a secret that most of the mk community don't have an offline scene "locally". if you are part of this group who wish to have a local scene to play offline april 13 from 10:00pm to 1:00 am at gamestop will be the best chance you will ever have to meet players and start a local scene.
the most importante part and the most difficult part of starting a scene is to find players who are interested in playing the game. but in april 13 you will find a lot of people who like mk and want to play the game at gamestop. and some time all that it takes is a few words with this people to get them interested because they will be hype about playing the game.
1) start talking to people there and ask questions to find out what kind of gamers they are
2) this is not the time to feel special. what i mean is that you should try to do not feel like everybody there don't know shit about how to play fightibg games. remember it is a new game and you and them can level up together or in other words they can learn how to play a fighting game with you.
3) dont just go and ask people " so do you want to meet at my place or your place and play some time" because they may say " yea sure man" but what they really are thinking is "this guy is weird" lol... remember they are not competitive players who are use to a guy that they just met asking them to meet again to play. what you need to do is make it interesting talk to them about tournaments, playing for money or a competition between you guys locally in a few weaks or days to find out who is better in the game any thing. the gold is to get them to want to meet with you again. and if you are willing tell them you are hosting a free tournament in which the winner will win money how much? what ever you can put out of your own packet
4) try to find a way to keep in contact with them. email , number, whatever
lets use this thread to talk about ideas to take advantage of the midnight release date to start creating a local scene

they're going to host it in the local applebees since mine is in a mall which is good. Last time it was held at a GS out in the sticks practically in NJ, tip of SI NYC and 12 people showed...they're starting mine at 9 pm however. There was a few MK 9 tourneys here at a place called gamechamp, and had 1st, 2nd and 3rd money prizes I posted about it but nobody seemed to care but had a decent amount think around 35 something like that. I won it with Ermac, was a fun time double elimination and 10 dollar entry fee. Won 250 bucks, so hey not too shabby lol they gave me the choice of iphone or money I took the cash lol. Second was 100 bucks and third was 50 bucks or 50 dollars credit(they had a choice) third place. But the GS one as I said had a bad turnout, it was a rainy night too so that didn't help I'm sure.
