Hey guys. Been a while since there's been a post on here, so let's make this active again. I don't know exactly what to put on here since I usually post my thoughts on the SRK forum, but we'll see what we can do about this blog and hopefully it'll grow into something new and different. Justin, I'll have to talk to you about what we should do with this thing. How can we make this different so people who already go to the forums will want to visit this.
Anyway, not a lot to say. Just had our 3rd meetup and it was a blast. We had ~16-17 people and 13 competitors for SFIV. Let's make it bigger and better every week guys. Mike won again, but he was sent into loser's by Adrian. Panda made things interesting, but unfortunately that footage can't be seen for some strange reason (Mike probably stopped the recording when he lost a round). I started off strong with a win against Bye, but then had to play Mike. He beat my Bison pretty handily and I switched to Zangief, but couldn't churn the butter fast enough. All in all, it was a lot of fun.
We played some DDR afterwards. Blake did some nice Cowgirl, Allen did some mean Holic, Chris showed off his nice PA skills, and Panda acted like he was a noob in DDR while doing pretty damn well on a song on Heavy. Might have to have some money matches next time guys haha. Justin, didn't you say you might jump in on this?
Anyway, let's get this blog going. Let's plan out our monthly tourney. What does everybody think of having one somewhere between 2-4 weeks from now? I'm thinking a March tourney, an April tourney, and a May tourney.
There will be a meet-up starting at 5pm (I'll be there at 4:30 to start setting up) on Monday June 29th. It will be held at Larry's Pizza. The address is 1068 Markham St in Conway, AR. The phone number is 501-329-3131 if you need directions. This is a friendly get together, no buyin or money involved. Feel free to bring your friends!
So far all I can confirm we have is (what I'm bringing) one tv, one xbox 360, SFIV, HD Remix, UMK3, one stick, two spare controllers...and MvC2 if that really does come out on the 29th. I would imagine we will need at least one more TV/Console to keep at least most of us occupied for the evening. Also, I'm going to provide a couple of pizzas (3-4) but if you guys would like more I would really appreciate throwing in a couple of bucks for the pizza expenses.
Lastly, I want to make it very clear. Please, KEEP IT CLEAN. This is a family-themed establishment and if people are being unsportsmanlike (cursing, complaining loudly about being beaten, yelling, constantly harassing the other player) is going to insure that we can NOT use the place again to meet up. So, if you'd like to be able to do this again, be respectful of your fellow players. :)
If you'd like to contribute a TV/console or anything feel free to PM me on Shoryuken (I'm edudlive there also) or email me at edudlive@gmail.com

Hey everyone, it's been awhile, but I'm back with good news. There is going to be another tournament at Play Time Pizza this Monday, June 15th at 6:00pm. The entry fee is $10 to get in the door and $5 per bracket. The only catch is we need at least 10 confirmed people to play. So far we have 6, so only 4 more to go. If you plan to come let either myself, jxhicks@gmail.com , or Wally, rd__43@hotmail.com , know.
Also, if you want to get in some practice beforehand, I'll be having people at my place this Saturday afternoon. Give me a shout for directions.

Wow, the Play Time Pizza tourney was a blast. There were 23 people who played, and it lasted about 4 hours. Congrats to Crosby ,Tang, and Mike, who won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place respectively.
Dan, the organizer of the event, said that he plans to turn this into a monthly event, with more than just SF4. I'm stoked about that. Hopefully he'll get bigger and bigger turnouts so he can keep this thing going.
On a side note, I'm hosting some friendly matches at my place this Saturday at 1:00 pm. Everyone is welcome, so come on by at get some practice in against your fellow Arkansans. I live at the Summit House Apartments right behind Park Plaza Mall on University. Give me a call for directions or to get into the building .

Hey, sorry for the last minute nature of this info, but I just got all the info myself yesterday.
A Street Fighter IV tournament is being held at the Play Time Pizza here in Little Rock. The winner will receive a Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting arcade cab. Registration is $5 plus the cost of admittance into PTP, which I believe is $10. You must register by 3:00 pm today. They will be playing on Xbox 360, bring your own controller, and they are starting at 6:00 pm.
I went up there yesterday to sign up and there were about 20 names on the list. Hopefully there will be a big turnout. If you can, check it out. Hope to see you there.

Big thanks to Chris, Derek, Adrian, and Tim for coming out Saturday. We did not really have a tournament because of the number of people, but we played plenty of matches and had a good time. Chris, aka Warpticon, was very interested in building the scene, and I think two heads are better than one for these sorts of things.
On a related note, since Saturday I have received emails from several people interested in playing. The scene is growing slowly but surely. I'm going to be talking with folks to try to get a feel for what people want to do next. When I have an idea I will post it here as well as the SRK forums http://forums.shoryuken.com/showthread.php?t=128780&page=5 .

Response so far has been low for this weekend, so we will simply be playing at my apartment. I don't think there will be any problems as far as space is concerned, and the added bonus of real furniture is a plus.
