XGC Casuals - 13/3/10

animaX

Not sure if I'm too pushed on the idea of winner stays on, at least not on all machines. I think it would be a bit off-putting for new arrivals to the scene because with that system they will only ever get to play the best players (which might be good for learning but not for self esteem!). Also, the better players will get more game time for the same price. Probably not a great way of attracting new players to the scene.

However, i do feel that there has to be more rotation and some people stay on for too long. A compromise would be to have half the machines running winner stays on and the rest just playing 5-7 games and then they're off. That way people have a choice of trying out the winner stays on machines if they feel they've got a chance.

I've got no problem with that, people who are renting consoles can set it up any way they want to. I wouldn't want to discourage any new players from sticking around, but personally I'm more concerned with the fact that nobody seems to be getting any better from these casual sessions.

Well, forget what I said this morning. Forgot the rugby was on at 2:30 today. Won't be able to make it. See you all next weekend.

I'm feeling that too. Although for me thats due to lack of effort and dedication :pac:

Good games to everyone I played today! Nice to see some new faces in the form of speedboat and bourketheJerk. Hope you lads continue to come along

Good that there were yet more new faces today.

I reckon for the rotation system, you play three matches and whoever has won the most gets to stay on for another three, then regardless if they've won or not, they switch.

BourketheJerk

Yeah good games guys, this is stephen, the ryu player. It was really fun to get in a few quality offline matches and meet up with some street fighter players. I even learned a thing or two (EX greenhand>fireball ).

I would definitely be up for the same thing next week and i should have my stick sorted out by then (maybe my execution too).

Dreddybajs

Nice one man, I'm the gief player. Would be great to have you back again next week

Good idea.
Sorry if I ended up hogging systems a few times too many, lads!

Speed Boat

Good games to all!

I'm the other Stephen who plays Able.

Had great fun and I'd say i learned more at one casual than I have in the last week or so of playing online/training.

Sisko

Nice one! More new blood :cool:

Dreddybajs

Nice one speed boat, look forward to seeing you at the next casuals!

Dreddybajs

Yeah Joe I think you're gonna get good at it fairly fast too judging by how much you've been improving just messing around last few times I've seen you playing. Good stuff, hopefully you do get into it!

K.O.Kiki

As long as you can beat me consistently, you'll do fine.

No, wait...
