I have no clue if I'd be able to make to any of these, but I'm posting in hopes that some of you people will actually attend these. So just post in here if you're interested in this or not.
For the peeps who went to the Aniheim gathering, this shouldn't be too hard to get to ;)

I might be interested...but since i suck at MOTW and most KOF games...
Would be nice to just hang out though...
Cerritos is around the corner for me.
You can learn just by watching others play, and if you pay attention to them, you can get a lot better really quick. I might not be down there, but I at least hoppe some of the n-g and s-c members go to test their skill. I hate being stuck in the desert :(
Hmmm,is this event going to be held at an arcade somewhere in OC or?
Seems that way from the pic over at SRK..

Wondering this as well, interested in attending.
There's saying the best place to hold them are at Camelot in Aniheim, I've never been there, but I hear there's lots of good competition for damn near all fighters.

I might be down depending on time and location. There is a place where I been to once before called "The Block"
Looks like the first meet up is set.
Alright, this Wednesday, at my store "Xaos Cards and Games," we're gonna hold our first Garou Mark of the Wolves gathering. Feel free to come for fun and games. We got drinks and snacks for sale in the store, and I think we'll have two tv's set up w/ DC's and Garou. Bring controllers/extra converters if you have it.
The address is 5642 E. La Palma Ave., Anaheim, CA, 92807.
Phone number (714)777-9965. It'll be upstairs in the In N Out parking lot above CyberWorld. I should be their no later then 11 am but it'd be nice to know how many/when people plan to show up so please reply.

Camelot is great, only arcade worth jack shit that's remotely close by. Hopefully something'll be held there.
Camelot is a pretty cool place. Of course, it doesn't hold a candle to many arcades past, but it's probably the best "American" style arcade around in my area.

Camelot Golfland
3200 Carpenter Ave.
Anaheim, CA 92806
(714) 630-3343
5pm - when you've had enough (or get kicked out)
It's on, this Saturday, but I won't be there :(

08-31-2004, 05:51 PM
I missed the Camelot meet, and I'm fucking kicking myself now. Let's hold another one real soon, pleeeease
The next meet up will be on 9/11, I thnk they plan on holding one every other week, which imo will be good for the Garou scene here in SoCal. The only problem is, not many people showed up for the first meet, it was 4-5 people only :( If I had a way to make it down there, I'd have gone. :(

I'd have definitely gone too, and plan on making it to the next one for sure. I hope the "Garou Scene" picks up a bit myself :D
Too bad I'm horrible at Garou,or else I would make the pilgrimage for sure..
BIG-
You don't have to be good to go, you can go to learn, watch others play and see how they do everything and try to use their tactics mixed in with some of your own. by what I've been reading 2 oe 3 of the people that went were new to the game. Going to these will improve your skill and the more people that go will be better for the Garou scene, so if you go, bring some people with you ;)
We're also discussing this in these 2 threads

What's up with all yous guys getting down on yourselves about MOTW...:p you can pick it up pretty well with just a bit of practice (not that I'm a pro or anything). Oh well, they actually do have SVC there on a nice cab, plus 3rd Strike and CVS2 also.

Sorry, I saw this thread very late.
Listen to Master Giby, guys. Don't be down on yourselves if you think you're not good. The purpose of those gatherings is to build the scene (interest AND skill level). They're just casuals.. not tourneys.
Anyways, as per the latest update, it looks like the first official gathering (the other ones were minor get togethers) will be Sat 9/11 at Xaos Cards. I believe someone has a space in his store where they could set up TVs and consoles and just chill. You can see more info on the final page of the shoryuken.com link Giby put up. If you have any interest in the game at all, whether you think this game is cool and want to learn how to play or get better.. or you want to test out your own skills, then this would be just the thing for you.
Here's the info for the next one on the 11th.
Alright peeps, I know this comes a tad late (what else is new), but this is the OFFICIAL word.
The FIRST OFFICIAL Garou CASUAL is:
THIS Sat, 9/11 at 5pm-whenevers
Masatakaz shop: Xaos Cards and Games
5642 E. La Palma Ave.
Anaheim, CA, 92807
(714) 693-5007
So far it looks like we'll have enough stuff to set up 2 stations.
tvs: 2
controllers: 4
dcs: 2
games: 2
This SHOULD probably be enough, but if anyone else has any other donation items, feel free to drop me a line. I know a lot of you out there have your own custom controllers that need converters. I would suggest that you bring your own controller, but I can't guaranty have'n a converter for you (at the mome I only have one - that handles both ps and saturn controllers), so if you have a converter, please remember to bring it. Btw, does anyone happen to have an extra S-video cord for the DC?
Oh, and for extra entertainment's sake, I'll be showcase'n a little known import saturn exclusive from '97: Groove On Fight. Hopefully some fans will show up for that too heh heh. :bgrin:
Keep play'n!

So, this meet is at a residence? I'd love to make it, but is it open to all?
It's being held at Magicians shop in Aniheim, it should be open to all, but you should go over to s-c or srk and pm him to be sure.

09-10-2004, 01:10 PM

Sorry I haven't got around to post'n here peeps. Yes, I am Magician on a couple other forums (somebody already had the name here... what a pain to put in the extra "The" heh heh).
Master Giby - slite correction, the casuals take place at MASATAKA'S shop in Anaheim (it wouldn't be right to call it MY shop). ;) And much props to that guy for be'n such a gracious host.
Shirt in a Can - I kind of doubt I'll be make'n it to Camelot, esp w/ have'n our second casual the night before. I hope you can make it there. We MAY have someth'n special planned esp since our very own SoCal rep, THE ANSWER, brought yet another hurricane into FL (read the srk & snk-capcom posts in case you don't know whatz up).
Bigp0ppaLarge & rockhoward - this is SOOOO geared for newbies. How do you expect to get any better if you don't play people who are better than you? By all means, come on out. We're all friends. We ALL come to learn from each other and get better (even the higher ups).
kyosuke75 - I am in the city of Cerritos (not sure if thatz what you meant). If you are in that area, just PM me and perhaps I can get in a few games w/ you. If not, please stop on by at least one of the casuals. Tis much fun and much can be learned there.
Remember guys, the next one is 9/25 at 5pm
Masatakaz shop: Xaos Cards and Games
5642 E. La Palma Ave.
Anaheim, CA, 92807
(714) 693-5007
Come on out to see whatz up and support the community! And holla at THE ANSWER (Mr Cali Hurricane). Keep play'n. See you there.

JUST IN - Masataka left me a message this morn, but I didn't get it till the middle of the day cuz I was in class (yeah, sat classes suck). THIS casual, for 9/25 has been CANCELLED. We do not know of a reschedule'n time just yet, I will have to talk w/ Masataka later on to see whatz up.
Just so that yalls know, Masataka had to hit up a funeral. In the mean time, for those of you who already know me, we MIGHT be able to arrange someth'n later on in the day. If you are interested but can't get in contact w/ me immediately, just pm me and hopefully I'll be able to get to you in time. I apologize for the inconvenience. I was as blindsided by this as the rest of you.
MAYBE we'll meet up next w.e. at: SoCal get-together II: In tEh Hood. (posted on neo-geo.c). Just keep your eyes and ears open.
Keep Play'n. Peace

Well, I haven't been back here for a little bit, but herez what we got cook'n right now:
As I mentioned before (in srk), we MAY be have'n a MAJOR tourney BY the yearz end. I just want a little feed back -
Right now I'm think'n 11/27. I want to know how many of you support the idea of have'n a major Garou tourney and if you'd be down w/ this date or if not, when would you like to have one. I'm also sort of lean'n on $10 for the entry (this is our LAST shot at this place!). Remember guys, the higher the entry, the higher the pot! We also have to consider that part of the proceeds will probably go to the shop.
Let me know what you guys think. Keep play'n. Peace

Alright peeps, itz been yet another small eternity. Right now 12/26 (after 2pm) is look'n pretty damned solid at XTGz (in OC) place.
I'll try to keep you guys up to speed on this casual. For the most current news on Garou gatherns I would hit up srk just in case.
Eh, does anybody got a grill they can bring around... or have a truck (I MIGHT be able to port my friendz grill w/ that)?
For those who can make it, post up!
Keep Play'n. Peace

12-22-2004, 10:02 PM
if a grill cant happen, how does bringin $5 for Little Ceasar's pizza sound for everyone?
oh yeah im XTG on SRK :)
keep in mind i live in a 900+ sq ft apartment on the second floor :(
As long as Nocturnal(SRK) is headed down there, cause I'm a bum without a car.
Looks like Pizza is what we're gonna have to get, but if you have a balcony, we might be able to get the BBQ thing going, if we had a gril. If this meet is anything like the last one, you should warn your neighbors about possible screaming and yelling every few minutes so they don't file any complaints about you ;)
Little Ceasers has some good pizza, so at least we know we wont be getting ripped off(like Guidos pizza).

(There was even some SF 3S go'n on.) We're STILL work'n on get'n clips from that last gt up. I'll keep you guys posted on that.
::J@mm:: - thanks for the offer. It sounds most interesting. Perhaps we'll talk some more about it at our next meet. Right now itz kind of look'n like one'll probably go down some time in Feb.

It's just about that time again for another S. Cali Garou Casual. I'm REALLY hope'n to have this somewhere in OC (or LA), so I'm asking if anyone here is willing to host. The date that we have set is 2/20 (on a sun, since a lot of people get the following mon off). At worst, this thing will be go'n down in Lancaster. I encourage anyone who's even remotely interested in this game to come. Support is really starting to build. More support is always welcome.
This particular Casual will have a little added importance. TS5 will actually be featuring this game in itz tourn this year and we have 3 reps who will be attending. This will serve as their last major practice session before we send them on their way to rep for S. Cali. For those who've already got the skills, come on out and show us what you got. For those who want to see whatz go'n on in this scene and would like to learn more about this game, now is the time.
Come On Peeps... STEP UP!!
Keep Play'n. Peace
The Magician
02-19-2005, 02:14 PM
Just let'n everyone know that the Feb casual IS go'n down on the 20th. This will be hosted by Ans. We start over there just around 7pm. For a limited few we're have'n a little pre-get-together at my place (cuz we gotta wait up for Ans). For those who are down, please post or PM me. Thanks
Keep Play'n. Peace
I'll be there. I dont mind the 17inch screen, but the DC pad is god awful. I hope there's more than 1 stick at Oscars place.
Well, the next meet is planned for the 26th of this month. We haven't picked out a location yet, so if you're interested in going, let us know.
Looks like everything is going down this Saturday. There is no time set for it yet, but once we all decide on a time, I'll post it up for those of you who are actually interested in coming to this. It's going to be at Moo's place this time around, if you need directions, pm me and I'll shoot you the directions.
The Magician
03-23-2005, 01:02 AM
Right now itz look'n like some time after 4 or 5. If anyone needs any extra info and or directions, please pm me or Moo.
Keep Play'n. Peace
Next meet is planned for Memorial Day weekend guys, so hit me up or post in here if you're interested in coming.
I'll keep in touch with the guys I talked to in chat and let them know where the meet will be once we decide on the location.
The Magician
05-26-2005, 01:46 AM
Slight change in plans. The day and time for this meet will be 5/29 (sun NOT sat) between 10 and 11am for the start (lord knows when it'll end). Sorry for the last min announcement. Hopefully this won't be too much of an inconvience for people. As for food, looks like turkeyz on the menu guys... yes... TURKEY!
Hit me up if you need any more info on this event. And yes, this is still tentively a PRIZE tourney, so go ahead and bring your $1-5.
Keep Play'n. Peace
Bumping this old ass thread.
There may be something going down on the 21st of Jan. Let me know if you want to come or not. Post here and/or pm me.
The next meet will be on Jan 14th. Either up here in Lancaster or down in the OC depending on how many people show.
The Magician
01-07-2006, 11:08 PM
Well, default location seems to be at my place unless otherwise stated. New comers are always welcome. These casuals are a PERFECT way to get into the game (we literally have just about all versions of the game available for play). We have a fairly good knowledge base as well as a good amount of real competitive play (ex: Evo '05z top 3 players... bow down to Suth'n Cali! :D ).
I especially encourage 3S players to give this game a try. I don't ask that people switch, just check it out. Most 3S players that have given it a go seemed to really dig it (me included... if you can even call me a 3S player :oh_no: ). Oh, and bring some small change so that we can all partake in the goodness that is Little Cz (the official food of these casuals).
Keep Play'n. Peace
Results from the last meets tourney.
1. Magician(Grant, Griffon, Hoku, Freeman, Jenet)
2. Giby(Kevin, Hoku, Dong, Freeman, Marco, Jae)
3. FatalFuryD(Jenet)
4. Nocturnal(Kain)
5. Redsunmisfut(Jae, Freeman, Dong, Marco, Hoku)

Sorry my man, we don't often record these events. I know we've been mean'n to record some again, but we just keep put'n it off. MAYBE on the next casual (which SHOULD be 2/18 tentatively). In the mean time, if you're interested in dig'n up past footage, Gib might be able to help you out with that. I think we have some, but I don't have any myself.
Keep Play'n. Peace
Next meet is planned for 2/18 in Anihiem, or was it Anihiem Hills...I forget the city. Just pm me for directions if you're interested in coming.
Biggest show we've had for a meet thus far. Here are the results for the tourney.
1. Giby (Kevin, Jae, Grant, Dong, Marco)
2. Nocturnal (Gato, Hoku, Jae, Terry, Kain, Kevin, Dong)
3. Magician (Freeman, Grant, Kevin, Gato, Marco)
4. FatalFuryD (Jenet)
5. Everyone else who entered.
We also did a team tourney. Team Old Man vs Team Magician(Only 8 people wanted to enter).
Team Magician had Redsunmisfit, Koll, Nocturnal, and Magician.
Team Old Man had Kyle, FFD, Old Man and Giby.
RedsunMisfit raped Kyle, FFD and Old Man. I took down RSM and Kool, then lost to Nocturnal cause of a converter issue, but I lost. Team Magician won 4-2.
This was another fun meet, hope the ones in the future can be as big as this one.
