Last year was fun (I didn't get to see many(ok, any) of you), so I was wondering who else is going? What game(s) on the Neo Geo will be played the most? I'm looking to play some KoF 2001 (gonna have to warm up on that) and some CvS2 with people from the forums.

Oh, and if anyone needs some MVS games I have:
KoF 2001
KoF 99
KoF 97 and
Matrimelee

I was at the last 3 and plan on going to this one.
I hate to say this but I think SNK vs Capcom Chaos will be played alot. I could go for some KOF 2001.
What day/days are you going maybe we can meet up. I'm just going Saturday.

I'm pretty sure I'm going Friday and Saturday and bailing late Saturday night. Sundays are supposedly boring as fuck, so I've never been on a Sunday.

I go for Anime, not games, but if everyone decides to meet up somewhere, as long as it's not during Animeigo or Geneon's panels, I'll be there.

I'm pretty sure i'm going all 3 days, leaving mid sunday. I'll have to check and see with my ride. I think last year some people met up in a hotel room and played some there too, i'd be up for that too.

This'll be my 3rd year, the first year was just for anime, the second was a mix, now it's just games. I'm guessing some other people from my area are going up (neojedi? I saw him last year) as well. Just looking for a head count.

I'll be there all 3 days. This year we did it smart, got rooms at the Days Inn early, going down on Thursday night (and getting our passes then) and checking out on Monday, that way we're not in any rush and can treat it as an actual mini vacation.

But yar, the game room is always fun though we all just end up getting our asses whooped by Neojedi anyway.

Last year I played way too many Neo games, this year I've been on a Capcom stint mostly so I'm hoping to get some CvS2 and some 3rd Strike. I'm not too into KOF2k3, but if 2k2, 98, MOTW, or LB2 is up I'll definitely be around for some matches. :)

I think I'll probably go this year. Some co-workers of mine went last year and I, missing out, could have kicked myself finding out they had a large game room there (none of us really knew anything about it back then). None of my friends really play fighting games though, so I'd love to play some actual people there. I like pretty much any fighting game, but I really hope they have GGXX there as well as some KOFs. BTW, when is it?

I should be ready for action, as usual. I'll do my best to help out again, this year. Probably still be the Fox-boy there, but hey, that's me.

Anyway, I'm trying to think of what Matrimelee song I'll sing there, but I might just stick with my favorite. Chisana Shiawase. (Man, I love that song.)
