Austin area, TX - Keep Austin Fighting

[RyuuJin882]

We only play MKX at events. But we have many players that do play multiple games.

 

[RyuuJin882]

Actually, we might not be meeting this Wednesday. Hold that thought...

 

[RyuuJin882]

Confirmed that next event is Wednesday 8.12.15 at 6pm.

Located at Tribe comics on south lamar. More info on the fb and meet up page.

I'm gonna be updating the OP with info regarding Austin's best players who come out to compete on a regular basis.

We're still a growing community though. I know there's several people who have posted here but have never come to join us. It's a great group of guys we have, don't be scared!

I don't know if it's like this already but the days should stagger so we can meet at least once every week.
Just a suggestion.

 

[RyuuJin882]

I thought that too. Doing every wednesday and Saturday means we go 1.5 weeks without a meet up @gazuga @DaZengie

Hello all! Name is Andres and I will be moving into the Austin area this week. I play MKX, and still play Injustice with anyone who is willing. Wanted to introduce myself, and see where the games are at!

I think it would be a great idea. That way we don't have to wait as long and it gives new people a chance to get to know people.

Hello Andres. I'm new as well. The people here are very nice and treated me well. I will play Injustice with you, though you will definitely wreck my chars.

Sup fellas? I'm not the official leader/setup guy for the Austin group but I do play with these dudes. Ken, David or Ismel normally update this thread when the event is setup but its easier to track through FB.

Here's the FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/MortalKombatATX/

@ATP2014 welcome to austin. The next meet up will be 8.22. But join the fb group for an official update.

 

[ATP2014]

Got it, just did. Are the meet ups just casuals, or are tournaments run as well?

 

[RyuuJin882]

Saturdays are tournaments and casuals. Wednesdays are in the air, but last time it was casuals and ranbats

Our goal was to have one official event per week, alternating between a weekend and a weekday. That would hopefully give everyone in the community a chance to attend sometimes regardless of their work schedule, and would also free up every other Saturday for everyone to do other things on the weekend if they want. Unfortunately, the only weekday Tribe can accommodate us is Wednesdays. This means we'll end up with two events really close to each other, and then a 1.5 week delay.

It's not ideal, but Tribe is free, and a free regularly scheduled venue has been tough to nail down. I think we're going to try sticking with this for now, but I just wanted to let you guys know our train of thought. We're also open to other ideas, of course, so definitely let us know if you've got something else in mind!

Another thing we'd like to do is have one venue more north, instead of both venues being more south.

I finally realized the "monitor latency" stuff last week while playing on a BenQ monitor and apologize for bringing that TV - not sure how bad it is but still, my apologies.

I can bring my gaems Sentry but not sure if guys would want to play on that - a lot less input lag - or I can just bring the TV. If I can find a cheap BenQ on craigslist before Saturday, obviously I'll be bringing that. Might just grab one off Amazon.

There's no need to apologize for anything. Any TV/Monitor you can bring is better than nothing. If it's a low-latency gaming monitor, even better! We just appreciate you helping out any way you can.

I will be there. I'll bring as many as I can from north Austin.

So far I'm car pooling 3 others with me to this Saturday's event.

 

[Dust]

What system is it being played on?

I play on xbox. Fill free to add me Daylok1313

 

[RyuuJin882]

We will have both consoles for tourney and casuals. We will also have converters, most likely you will end up playing on PS4 with a converter at least once. Don't worry, there is no lag with the converter.

The last comment was towards @Dust and I also added your online tag to the original post.

To encourage more people to come out today, one of our community members has made a very generous offer:

"Hey every, excited for the tournament tomorrow!!! Well I hope to see some new faces and anyone who has been absent!

So to raise the stakes and help the scene grow! I will pay for the first 5 new kombatants! (People who have not been to any event or who has missed the last three meet ups) So tell your friends!

I will also be taking picture and recording a new video! So look fancy!

See Y'all" - Nick Flo Flores
