Hey thats right lets get something regional for the best place in North America right here in Canada.

I have 2 systems & 2 monitors so lets either play some matches online or arrange for a day of casuals at a college.

Hit me up.
 
Heya. I'm in Vancouver, too. Is there anything going here at all? SF even?

Count me in for local events/meetups... I have a PS3 and two PDP sticks.

Mk9 tourny alongside Blazblue & SfAE tourny on the 19th @ Stronghold! Its practically official! Evo style double elimination, 9-0-0 no blood mode, no Kratos or Kratos stage (input lag), and if you show up I'll try to reward both spectators & participants healthily. Be a nerd baller and come by for casuals. I will try to be at Stronghold every day before the 19th I already setup another monitor arm by the bigscreen.

Zzz nite!

Evenings most likely, the travel time is kind of a pain in the ass but the skytrain runs by my house so its just time. Wish I could play on the train.

Make it out and I will make it worth it good sir :)

THE VENUE HAS 2 EVO SETUPS AND WE CAN BRING AN ADDITIONAL 2 EVO SETUPS FOR A TOTAL OF 4.

The potential is great here warriors.
 
Hi everyone.

If anyone wants to meet other local BC MK players, we're going to have 2 MK setups along side about 6 other setups of AE and MvC3 at this Wednesday Night gatherings.

Magic Stronghold
7709 Royal Oak Ave.
Burnaby
V5J 4K2

We usually play from 6pm - midnight. Come out, one and all, and lets get this local scene hopping.

Anybody here going? What's the turn out usually like for MK?

I'm guessing it gets busier later in the evening?

Guys, is there a descent MK scene in Vancouver? I might be moving there soon so I'll try to bring a little taste of the NE MK flavor.

There was talk of casuals at Magic Stronghold (game shop) awhile back but I dunno if it's still goin on. Wish I had found out about this section of the boards sooner so I could have gotten in on the action.
 
Hello guys, I live in Burnaby so it will be pleasure to join some MK events and casuals, since my friends suck and the game turns out to be complete ownage. So do you still have meetings at stronghold?

Still interested myself, but haven't seen anything set up as of yet. Starting to think the only way this will happen is if someone has a house they wanna use to host.

Every week up to Evo I brought my PS3 and an Evo monitor. I do not have access to a car atm. I can bring a PS3 and MK9 but I don't feel like also bringing my monitor on the train home at midnight. Ill try to be there this weds but if someone wants to help me set up it would make my life easier. My friend is taking a break after Evo and he use to bring a monitor hell we can even bring mine I just need a ride or a person to meet up with me during the weds to pickup and head too. I can even bring my laptop to record matches in SD.

cheers.

Heyo, saw you posting in the Vancouver section of the boards.

Was wondering if you were still organizing get togethers at Stronghold or anywhere else around town these days. Would love to get some games in if possible.
Stronghold is closing its location but its moving follow them @ https://www.facebook.com/MagicStronghold

Magic Stronghold is moving! The last day our current location will be open is September 22nd after that visit us at our new location at 5558 Lane Street. This is right behind the White Spot on Kingsway not far from our current location.

Every wed @ their new location I will at the very least try to attend as much as I can to play on those nights cuz they are the best for offline and if you bring MK there are some pretty decent players.
Are there people typically playing MK every week? Sorry, but I'm not into BlazBlue, SFIV or anything else, just MK. Not sure if you work there or are affiliated with them in any way, but you seem to know more than I would, lol. Are you saying I would have to bring my own controller and a copy of the game? Not a problem in either case, but just wondering.

Do you still play MK regularly? at the venue I mean. Just trying to gauge the kind of environment it is. I've posted a bunch of times in the Vancouver section and hardly anyone ever responds.
I have mono so I can't bring my set up and monitor down on my self via the skytrain at the moment because I'm at risk of straining my spleen or liver.

If you bring MK with you there will be multiple set ups of Xbox 360 and PS3. Mostly PS3. If you build it they will come. Lots of people can play MK there but it won't be being played without me or someone there to host.

Lots of Street Fighter players there I went to Evo for MK so I can say my main game is clearly MK9 hell I judged the game but still you need to keep an open mind I brushed up on my SF and even learned to play Marvel vs Capcom just so I could play people here as well even though mainly I play MK9.

If you keep an open mind a lot of people there are willing to play as well people are wanting to learn as many competitive people are training there for Canada Cup in November. As well as So Cal regionals on December 18th (I know I am for MK9 :p).

I'm going to post this as well onto the thread so people can know whats up on the schedule for MK9 in the 604.
Dude, Mono is serious business. If you are feeling ill, you'll definitely want to take care of that before going out for something so inconsequential. Health comes first!

That being said, whereabouts are you coming from? I actually work fairly close to Magic Stronghold, and if you aren't too far, I'm sure arranging rides and helping setup wouldn't be a problem at all once you are feeling up to it. What time would you typically head down there normally?

I can definitely keep an open mind on other games, I actually grew up on Street Fighter, but seeing high level players play that game is fairly intimidating to be honest. Almost all fighters are stick reliant, but I'm more of a pad user, hence the preference for MK. As long as there is some MK action to be had, I am down. Hopefully we can round up some others on the board. I think the potential is there, but there just needs to be something set up to begin with.
Main thing with mono is strain if you do any heavy lifting you risk blowing out your spleen but yeah I can play SF on pad but I hitbox for both MK and SF now. SF isn't that hard once you get the ropes I only started playing this Febuary and I can play everyone at Stronghold and at least take rounds. Street Fighter is really defensive because blocking normals doesn't chip you only specials chip and they are unsafe on block in SF so its interesting..

Prefer MK tho won't lie.

I live at around west 4th and moberly, I have 2 setups in my room atm and I can stream from one of them as well as record matches if anyone wants to do some casuals but uh, I would like to see wed night fights have some MK @ Stronghold.

I'll just leave this message here in the 604 thread as well too get some inquiries.
 
Hey Vancity dudes.

Any of you coming out to canada cup?

I'm gonna be running a qualifier to get some sort of qualifier to play against a USA team (i'm not sure if theres gonna be a team, or if we're just gonna do a round robin format against PerfectLegend)

Please PM me if any interest is available.
