I actually just signed up to testyourmight just to respond, haha. So... First time, long time....
I'm part of the 10 person crew that
@dotunderscore mentioned. He's part of it as well. Over a year ago we used to play every day in the office for 1-2 hours and got pretty competitive with the game. We all left the company last year but we still get together to play on occasion. I've kind of been the proactive one in the group to organize stuff and get us together.
We went to a UMK3 tournament at Arcade Legacy over a year ago. Nick Mathews took the number one spot but we placed second on down the line. I just reached out to him about this post too.
I was able to talk the owner of Amerasia in Covington to get a UMK3 machine. We had a little reunion party there two weeks ago and had a random select tournament. That was painful, haha.
16-Bit opens downtown this Friday and it's confirmed that they will have a UMK3 machine. They also have console stations and I have the Arcade Kollection on my laptop. If your pad is usb/windows friendly, I'm sure we can hook it up there. Honestly, we'd much rather play on those xbox arcade sticks. Those arcade cabinets get a little tight for elbow room. Plus, we're all centrally located in the downtown Cincinnati area. So at least expect us to be at 16-Bit every Friday for happy hour, haha.
Shoot me a pm. I'm sure we're all about to become pretty active again now that there's a lot of opportunities to publicly meet and play around town. Who knows, maybe Cincinnati will become a little UMK3 hub to keep the scene alive? You may say I'm a dreamer...
