MD/DC/VA Spring 2018 Shmupmeet - April 28

Post by StarCreator »

I've been slammed at work and the rec room the last few meets have taken place in has been in complete disarray since the cabs returned from MAGFest. I can conceivably have the room ready in about a month (knowing me, it's best to set a deadline or it'll just drag forever). So in that case, how do people feel about meeting on either April 21 or 28?

Either is fine for me... if you need more time, go with the 28th.

Either one works for me.

Also this is possibly my last one of these as a local! Assuming nothing goes terribly wrong I'm selling my house in mid-May and then likely moving to NYC in June. Please make sure we play the dankest of poverty fighting games.

I'll probably still come down for some of these even after I move though; turns out transit from NYC is easy...

BTW, why haven't we just created a MD/VA/DC shmupmeet discord yet?

I did recently snag both Galaxy Fight and Samurai Spirits III on AES cart... and there's always Kabuki Klash. ;)

But does anybody have Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer? ;)

If I can go, 28th is the better day for me

zakk congrats on the move! Selling anything to lighten the load?

I should be able to do either but 21st would likely be slightly better for me. Might show up later if it's the 28th. I don't know.

Also, I sold my Dragon Blaze PCB to buy a Switch. And now Dragon Blaze is available on the Switch. So that's cool.

What have you picked up on Switch? I was thinking about bringing mine since it takes up so little space.

Also, the whole series of ZeroDiv Psikyo rehashes on Switch has some really noticeable input lag. Rather disappointing. I'll stick with the PS2 release (even though Sol Divide taints half the disc).

Do we really need a fighting game with.... DIORAMA?

For Switch so far we just have BotW, XC2, Blaster Master 0, Puyo Tetris, and Celeste. I've been eyeballing some other stuff and shmup em ups but I'm still working on being terrible at Puyo right now.

I'd have to see about the lag on Dragon Blaze as that's the only one I know particularly well, lag would not be your friend in a game that fast.

I think the 28th is going to be it. Hope that works for everyone!

Sounds good. Also, StarCreator, you need to snag a Japanese Saturn so I don't have to keep bringing mine.

Zakk should decide the genre of food this time I think, since he's leaving.

By nZero's request, I've brought Instant Brain back from my parents' place. I don't own a Kinect though.

Kiken's request for a Japanese Saturn is going to take a bit longer.

I actually have a mod chipped saturn with a 4-in-1 but I'd have to confirm if the thing is still all working. Not ideal I know, but it can play Groove On Fight.

I can bring my white Saturn. The old grey one is experiencing issues so I need to send it off for repairs.

I'll also bring the Neo Geo AES and my Switch.

See you guys tomorrow.

Thanks for coming! Sorry the place was still a mess, but I think the new layout works pretty well.

Good luck with the move zakk!
