This is fucked up ! This thread had to be here like 3 months ago ! We could have a Epic tournament !! That tournament is canceled unfortunately >__< ! Maybe I can make sure that another tournament will come somewhere in november or something ? Let me know guys, it will be in holland then.....

i already had a thread about that but nobody entered it or posted anything at all

 

[RyuKazuya]

so i am from frankfurt am main ^^
i d like to join your list

 

[RyuKazuya]

Gießen here (so... basically Frankfurt)

haven't played mk9 in ages and never got past training wheels in injustice, but that's mostly bc i don't like playing online and never had offline competition.

anyhow, i'm generally interested in a friendly fatal gettogether.

oh and @Braindead, i'm not 100% positive about the exact legal status of mk9 in Germany, but i think unless you sell it to people, or maybe show it to minors publicly, you should be fine.

i study in gießen

 

[Wam-Zlay]

I don´t like football at all. I came to gelsenkirchen to study IT. I still live in Gelsenkirchen but i study in Dortmund

Is it more than 15 people in the Rhein region already? This is awesome.

I'm starting my exams at the end of this month and I'll only finish in September, so I'll be busy until then. But after that you're damn sure I'm going to work on getting something going, and it's gonna be awesome.

i think gathering people who d be willing to attend offline events is the first milestone ^^
good luck on your exams

i think there are 2 major reasons why there is no offline scene in germany yet.

1st: the obvious one. almost every mk has been banned. allowed to own 18+, but not allowed to advertise publicly, which also stops public tournaments/gatherings from being held and advertised.

2nd: the lack of arcade culture. germany does not have gaming arcades, or they are at least very rare. and the ones that exist are 18+ to enter. so none of us here has spent his quartes for mk with his friends as a kid. also the lack of them strongly limits the location options for weekly meetings. people gotta figure out something in private, or if you are lucky with a cool gaming shop or sth. (which are becoming super-rare too. i dont know any in my 1- Million-inhabitants-city). hosting meetings with relative strangers in your private rooms is something not many people could and would do.

well i maybe know like 70 german guys who actually payed mortal kombat x. Most of them don´t want to play MK on a competitive level. They just wanna see fatalities and sell the game 1 month later, because they´re not good enough .

It´s not just that there is no MK scene. I´d even say there is no fighting game scene in germany at all.

well there are street fighter and other FG Meetings. i know there used to be a monthly meeting in Essen, dunno if that still exists. i think i saw it on the hardedge forums. also i know of tournaments in Frankfurt and Berlin.

yes most japano game has at least one active scene here in germany. Kof GGxRD Tekken SF BB and so on
mortal kombat is mostly known for its gory content which leads many people to buy it just for that reason. Most competitive players in germany are not interestet in mk because the say there was no balance(of course there are exceptions). They have a false view on mk and thats where we should start something.

Well i tried a lot of different games on a competitive level. My experience with germans in kinda every game is : qqing that something is imbalanced, flaming if they lose, giving up extremly fast, cant take criticism.

I played a lot of team games, as soon as i played MK9 i kinda realised that im not even a teamplayer .

(I think that im a pretty kind guy and i like helping other people)

I'm not sure if I'll be in Germany in October, but if I am I'm definitely not missing this.

Sounds interesting, do you have a facebook page set up for it, or something similar?
