Shitsucked. Smash Bros and Guilty Gear, the two games I actually cared about, were both impossible to get to.

I wound up playing fucking Mario Kart DoubleDash the entire time I was in the Game Room.

On the bright side, I picked up GGXXAC+ on my PSP, so I still got my fix of GG anyway.

i dont feel like waiting 30 to 40 minuites to play a game, there are games that i saw and would have liked to try, but there were huge lines and i knew i would get destroyed instantly and it would be pointless...

Only game i played was SC4 for 3 rounds and was beaten and decided not to wait again

Loved it. Animu faggots are so terrible at games that shit was easy.

Surprising amount of win in the form of Magic:the Gathering players in the back. Always enough people around with decks to kill key gaps of time.

Was sad to finally get to play SCIV and found out they neutered one of my favorite moves Astaroth had.

I played some House of the Dead 2 and then played Magic for a little bit.

I played Typing of the Dead, and died at level 5. Fuck - the Dreamcast version had different words and sentences than the PC version, and I wasn't used to that old keyboard. I've actually perfected the PC version too, so dying really surprised me.

And I played SC3, and the only people I was able to beat were my friends, and even then it was because button mashing with Voldo = utterly unpredictable.

LISTEN TO THIS BULLSHIT.

So, I'm on the line for team Brawl.

Me and my friend and gonna have a good time and play these guys who've seem to have been there the entire time.

Finally it's our time, and we're just foolin' around, so I say "I'm gonna be widdle Wucus!"... Only to find that the person I'm playing already picked him.

Not wanting to pick the same dude, I decided to just go with Ness.

THIS FAGGOT. HE TAKES HIS SHIT RIGHT OFF OF LUCUS. PUTS IT RIGHT ON MARTH. AND CHAIN GRABS THE SHIT OUT OF ME THE WHOLE MATCH.

What happened to honor?

I was pissed that they took up so much room with Gears of War, Halo 3, and Call of Duty 4. Nobody wanted to play that and they took up way too much space. They're fun games, but not the type of games I want to play at a convention. Should have had twice as many tvs for Brawl.

I only played a few hours of Halo 3 late Saturday and a few hours on Sunday morning.

Amazingly the game room ran for an additional half hour after 12 midnight on Saturday. Shame it did not stay open later because I had nothing to do until 2am.

>>2550
Dude I agree with you. The target base of the con and people who like console shooters really don't combine that well. A few more fighters and more shmups could be necessary there for next year.

Speaking of shmups, did anyone play that really bright dueling shmup? If you can look past the cutesy stuff, it was an interesting concept.

i wish they still had the arcade cabinets :<

>>2557
Were you that ponytailed faggot who went to the con just to play Halo?

>>2701
No, you got the wrong person. I don't wear a ponytail.

I didn't get to play any games, but I thought it was fucking awesome that someone brought a Saturn with a D&D Arcade Collection.

The guy at Soul Calibur 4, who was there for probably the entire day, seemed like he was going to throw a fit if I beat him. I was playing Amy, he was Siegfried or w/e. Close game, he won. Tried to shake his hand since it was a good game, he gave me a funny look and I said "Fuck you," shook that cum-infested hand and walked away.

>>2753
Oh, sorry about that.

There was one redhead-ish ponytailed guy wearing all black who was at the Halo setup for just about the entire con and refused to give up his spot. That's the guy I was talking about and quite frankly, he comes off as a total douchebag.

SCIV was awesome; I didn't play, but merely observed. That Mitsurugi guy was godly; 30+ straight wins before he gave up the sticks.

Oh hells yes. I played House of the Dead 3 and the Go Fish at a table with some friends. Shit was awesome.

The game room was pretty cool, I mainly stayed around the Brawl area though. The longest chain of wins I had was probably the 5 with Toon Link.

>>2809
dear christ I played that dude with Ivy. I was his eigth win and one of rounds he got a perfect on me. He was pretty straight about it though

>>2763
I watched that match and was hoping you'd beat that fuckhead. He was such an asshole.

>>2303
WTF Guilty Gear had a line? Half the time I walked up, sat down, and played like 2-3 rounds til someone came up behind me

holy shit i would have kicked that guys ass in soul calibur, won like 4 in a row last year as Misturugi (ie ezmode) before a yoshimitsu cheezed me out.

>>2290
nigger unpaused my game!

Decent shmups and bemani table as usual. Too much Guitar Hero and some random game like Keyboardmania would have been fun but whatever. Guitar Hero et al should really get moved away from the other rhythm games, as much as I like it. Having Rock Band on the entire other end of the game room was a nice choice though.

Shmups were good (I played Mushihimesama for like two hours stoned out of my mind) but needed more DDP DOJ

>>2584
You mean Wartech? That is now $10 for 360 at any Gamestop.

>>2763
haha that kid was hilariously creepy. i played him sunday morning, and he got terribly pissed when i beat him with siegfried.

i hung around guitar hero when it was emptier and had a bit of fun playing decent people. played a kid from philly in devil went down to georgia, got beat in the last 10 notes. pretty awesome.

>>2848
I saw that. You were awful, dude. You should really try another character. Ivy's just a terrible choice until you've really learned her move list.

Back on topic, I had an ok time. Played as Raphael in SC4 a few times every day. Tried that weird rhythm game where you pop buttons on a table. Didn't do much else besides watch games.

>>4047
I know her moves on 3. They got changed or some shit because I couldn't the "come here" and 3 hit to unblockable combo.

also epic, winning a multiplayer that included saps and slivers with my spirit deck. Jesse, sorry I took you out first but you were 3rd strongest and the more life I took from you the likelier I was to survive a massive sap or sliver attack.

I wanted to play SC4 so bad but I was extremely intimidated. I play at home all the time, especially on PSN, but playing in public was really scary. Seeing people change the buttons intimidated me too, I have never done that.

I REALLY fucking wanted to play too.

>>4162
you're still wired for tribal social situations where what the people around you think matters. You have to realize that you'll never see any of these assholes again and whatever you want to do you should do because if you don't the only person that suffers is you, not other people.

Kept pissing off people at the DOA4 area. Had to leave so they could have fun.

I went to the GGXXAC panel, played some May with my Slayer and got my ass handed to me.
If only I had anyone to practice with other than my asshole friend who only plays Sol and spams GF

>>4039
No the cutesy, girly one that was on the other side of the table.

I actually won a match of Brawl, and like 3 matches of Guitar Hero. People are way too fuckin' good at Naruttimate Accel 2, though. It seemed more crowded this year.

>>4336

>3 matches of Guitar Hero

Could I own you?
What difficulty were you playing, and what song?

This was my first Otakon so the place is freaking huge compared to the other conventions I've been to. I've never seen so many big HDTV screens in one area. I played a little Naruto EX2 on the Wii, but I was having a ball playing Powerstone 2 for the dreamcast with other people. Good times.

I wish they would have had a IIDX machine there!

>>Tried that weird rhythm game where you pop buttons on a table.

lol

>>4047
I believe it's called Poppin' Music

I played melty blood and almost beat this guy by spamming a scrub sacchin combo, 2c 5c jc. It was very amusing.

>>4386

lol

>>4392

LOL


also new otakon controllers for bemani need to be bought, both the iidx and pop'n controllers are beyond ancient

also where the fuck is my adventure cs god damn it

waku waku 7 was fucking awesome

My friends and I spent a lot of time on the DDR setups.

I was in the standard tournament for a while, and my friends and I did freestlyes and double on the JP SN2 setup.

I also played a lot of Brawl with Ivysaur. I didn't do too bad considering I had just picked him up that weekend.

I was the only person there that could play puyo puyo competently. I was disappointed that they took out Panel de Pon, since in previous years there was a lot of good competition in it.

RIP puzzle games.

And yes, I know they had Puzzle fighter, but fuck that shit.

>>4557

I did pretty well at Puyo Puyo. I guess we just didn't end up playing each other. Though I will admit, I'm much better at Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine.

>>4557
Hell yeah. All I want from Otakon's game room is a decent 2 player Tetris game that doesn't suck dick (most Tetris games) or have a bullshit garbage generator (Tetris DS)

Basically two joysticks plugged into a Mame box running TGM2P would be heaven

was i the only one playing voldo? I give the people a show with voldo's sexy moves.

The first Rock Band Drum Pedal Broke on Saturday at 12:45pm. Apparently the staff was taking bets as to when it would snap.

>>4571
you need to come to magfest so i can kick your ass at tetris battle gaiden.

I believe I was the only shinigami playing rockband.
that WASNT hollow ichigo.

On the other hand, now that I think about it, what was on the left side past SCIV and Brawl? I didn't wander over there the whole con.

On a slightly related note, it seemed as if the Yugioh community was kinda decent and I learned that playing Traditional is decent, but not really game-altering.

>>4728

I played that at Magfest for HOURS last year. Also the head of magfest was walking around in a big wiimote. You see him?

>>4749

The guy walking around in a rectangular box with no way to bend the knees and no arm holes whatsoever? Seems like a sharp fellow.

>>4172
given it's Otakon they might see them again next year lol...well maybe.

still not giving a fuck can help and they might not remeber you

>>4752

He had a lot of space to walk in. Besides it wasn't like he needed to run sprints or anything. He just needed to wander around.

Me and a cool black guy kicked ass in Brawl doubles for 10 matches or so, and then we lost to one of the pairs we beat already.

*cough* wesowouldvewonifyoudidn'tdsmashme *cough*

There was some girl sleeping on one of the tabletop gaming tables that I wanted to surprise buttsecks.

>>4224
I can relate to that. Got there, played some GG and was doing well with some more than basic setups, but I have no arcades or real competition in my hometown. Makes me sad, I love GG and I can only really play the ai.

>>5321

Why not check dustloop? Where are you? I'm sure there's a group somewhere...

>>4749
oh, well if you were doing that, you might have played vs me. i'm the guy that brings it to magfest every year, looking for competition. =]

and yeah, i know the head of magfest. the wiimote costume is good entertainment. i have video of us saying hi to the PS3 release line camped out in front of bestbuy. one guy went nuts and called us fags, but everyone else in line was like 'wii kicks ass, i'm selling my PS3 on ebay'.
