Bay Area MKX Scene?

QED

Noob
Didn't make it last night, got bodied by my nap and woke up like past 8 lol. How was it and the turnout? Trying to get my feet wet in MKX.

Also, anybody show interest to the guys at Showdown for MKX yet? I'm usually there on Thursdays either way for Churning the Butter (USF4 tourney), so if people can get casuals going there, I'd be down.

Also, any sessions anywhere? Down to travel to try and learn the game.

Hey man, The venue was great. Plenty of room for setup and there was even a projector that was able to broadcast the game behind the bar so it was awesome for everyone to watch. We had 6 guys show up altogether and we were able to run a two stage tournament, one being a round robin stage and the second stage consisted of the winner of the round robin going straight to grand finals and the second and third places playing in losers finals.

I have tried to contact the guys at Showdown to try to get some more information as to what is going on there but I have yet to receive a response.

Are you located in the city? My roommate @HugeMcBigLarge and I are planning on hosting casuals if there is anyone who would be willing to make it out and practice. We are trying to take this seriously and make a viable competitive scene.

Cool, I live in Daly City, so anywhere in the city is pretty doable. I'm also in the South Bay and East Bay pretty often, so if there's any casuals down those areas I'm down to drop by.

We live on 24th and Noe so we live about 10-15 minutes from Bart and fairly close to Brewcade. We'll definitely be hosting casuals up here. When are you typically free?

Usually Monday, Wednesday, and maybe Fridays. If I know beforehand on the weekends, usually I can plan around stuff.

Well we're pretty much down to host on any day. I'm about to get off work and we have the evening free and we're pretty much down to play on any day you'd be available. We can figure something out for today if you'd like

Shit I missed it. I didnt get pinged and haven't checked this thread. Poop.

I am down to come to anything on the weekends...weekdays are a bit harder with traffic from Palo Alto/Cupertino -> San Fran

Haha good to know. You should be getting updates going forward now. I'm gonna talk about casuals with my room mate going forward but we have tossed around the idea of holding casuals on Saturday as well where it could serve as a little practice session before the tournaments on Sunday. Hopefully you can find other guys near you so you guys can carpool in just to make things easier. If all else fails you can also travel in via CalTrain/Bart

Can't do tonight. Wanna plan on Friday so we can give it time to brew and see if anyone else is interested?

I tagged you on a previous post. I held casuals at my house. Live in fremont right across the dumbarton. Next time i hold casuals (which may be this saturday) I'll tag you.
 
Hello gentlemen. Long time lurker, first time poster. Looking for folks to play MKX with! I'm in Antioch and don't mind driving/carpooling. I'm usually only available Mondays and Tuesdays (working in a restaurant takes away your weekends) but if that Sunday tournament in SF stays consistent, I can get some flexibility. Hope to meet and play with you all soon!

Hey if you guys have nothing better to do this Saturday, come hang out in Sac!
Hey man I might not be able to make it out this weekend but my girlfriend lives in Davis so I might be able to swing out there sometime in the future. Are you guys holding this frequently?

The Sunday events should stay consistent as long as people continue to show up and support the scene. Other than that we are trying to pick a day where we can have casuals during the week. Thanks for finally joining and hitting us up!

Thursdays are my Foundry/ShowdownGG days. It'll be perfect if we can try to get a setup there or something.
Is there a number of some sort that they can reached best by? I have been trying to contact them with no luck. I'd love to have a set up or two there

How did you contact them? You probably wanna hit up specifically Andrew Watt, he manages most of the FGC stuff. His Twitter handle is @SD_Watt, he'd probably respond the best to that or email him.

Awesome! I've been looking to play with more "serious" MK players since I rediscovered MK9 last year. I have friends who are down to play, but are more the casual type players. Are you available next Monday or Tuesday?

Alright man I like the enthusiasm! I should be available both of those days. Would either of those days work for you @QED? If it does let me know. @HugeMcBigLarge and I would be hosting so if we can get at least four people in the room at the same time that would be fantastic. If the two of you end up coming I can make it an official thing and invite more people.

Hey man! Where are you located? We would love to have you come out on Sunday! Brewcade is definitely happening this weekend again so plan on heading out. Thanks again for throwing yourself in here!
