Same here. Buncha PS2 loving scrubs! Can't wait for the next Tomb Raider or whatever! Damn. (Actually, I like my PS2, but you get the idea.)

also, none of them want to really get better. I'm the only person I know who starts a fighter and downloads all the info, practices all the combo's and tries to really see how the game SHOULD be played. That's why I'm always so interested in tournaments. It's not that I think I'll win, it'd just be great to have some people that know how to play to fight against.</strong><hr></blockquote>

It's so amazing to see people like you. It takes a great deal of time and skill to master such an obsticle. I'm proud of you! You guys keep on working on your skills, there should be a show down between all of the top gamers...I wonder who would win?

I'm in the same boat. A few of my friends are casual gamers, but that's about it. I have fun playing 1st person shooters online, but I really enjoy playing against real people in fighting games, etc. When I was at Otakon this year I could have spent the entire weekend just sitting in the game room playing and watching people (come to think of it I just about did).

I'll admit I'm not that great at fighters but I'm always willing to play anyone that's interested in just about any game. If anyone is in the Washington D.C./Baltimore area I'd like to have a few matches sometime.

Practice mode: custom combos and, if you really have some precous time to waste: trying to find bugs

Or, going to the amusement hall and playing a few vs games with strangers.

Like, it's the same thing in my city. There is only a handful of King of Fighters players, even less Last Blade 1&2 players. And don't even try to mention Samurai Shodown: nobody wants to play it over here.

All they want to play is that stupid shite game CvS on the Dreamcast or Guilty Gear -with those insufferable 999hits air combos- or SoulCalibur -a brilliant game but so boring...-

Oh man, I'd play you any time. Too bad we're on the other side of the country. I've only had a few opportunities to play that game. But I liked it!

I just got out of college, so what you're about to go through is still fresh in mind. Just chill, go to classes, do your homework. Now that I have my degree I might move to CA, if things here don't pan out. So, maybe I'll be around in another year or two. :-)

Well, last I heard we were still talking about having another get-together at my house around the end of October sometime, so we could always hook up then.

Hell though, anytime you've got some free time coming up just let me know ahead of time and we can try to make plans to meet at one of our places!
