Upcoming BB:CS Tourney

Mikazuki Akane [三日月茜] — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 14:28:00 +0000

Heya~
Arcadia (Iluma) has contacted us and they are seeking to do a Blazblue tournament. They would like to check on a response from the players before they can decide on the rest of the details.
What we do know is that the top 8 will receive prizes. Details like a singles/team tournament would depend on the response. So please drop us a note and let the other players know.
PM me at Round1 forums or simply drop me an email at akane[at]round1[dot]sg

SugarMilkTea — Mon, 31 May 2010 10:29:00 +0000

Farp went down to check out AH3 at *scape and he found out the following

Sucks to be local Ah players caused there doesn't seem to be any love for us all. Just have to wait on as usual.

Anyway much thanks to Kilvear and Akane for providing the pix of the cabinets. Apparently AH3 is on the viewlix cab which are the cab used in japan.

BlazBlue Continuum Shift locations

Mikazuki Akane [三日月茜] — Sun, 30 May 2010 00:55:00 +0000

I'm sure that most of us knows that there's one BlazBlue Continuum Shift available at Arcadia in Iluma.
But now there's one more: Zone X in Scape.
And it's on a Vewlix cabinet, no less.

It's $1 a game for non VIP members, and 80 cents for VIP members.

Arcana Heart 3 Coming to Singapore?!

SugarMilkTea — Sun, 16 May 2010 08:30:00 +0000

Just received news that zone X might be bringing in AH3 to singapore. Not very sure whether its true or not. But hopefully it will eventually arrive and thus hopefully expand the community more with new players? More information can be found here http://www.zonex.com.sg/games/detail/arcana_heart_3/

Will be shifting blog to http://arcanaheart.blogspot.com for future updates if AH3 does come to Singapore!

Updates!

Mikazuki Akane [三日月茜] — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 07:05:00 +0000

Pre-Cannes Console Session!

Aheda — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 16:53:22 +0000

Hey guys, As some of you may or may not yet know, Soul Singapore will have 5 representatives at the upcoming World Game Cup 2010 in CANNES, FRANCE! (www.worldgamecup.com) We will be departing on that trip on the 2nd of March, but before that we’d like to have a console session on the 20th or 27th of February. Location is most likely at The Hangout (www.thehangout.com.sg) and time will be from 2pm-6pm.. (might be extended) I’ll be making calls to try and get some good rates, but to be safe you might want to take it that you’ll be spending $11.50 there. Please leave a comment here (I’ll prefer if everyone replies here as it doesn’t need registration and will be easier to track..) to vote for whether you prefer the 20th or the 27th, or if you’re available for both.

Long forgotten updates . . .

Mistwraith_Jehuty.v2 — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 03:56:00 +0000

Well, I have not been updating the blog for a LONG LONG time.

We managed to get 2 gatherings together and in both gathering we failed to even take pictures of our players and random stuff as usual. We Singaporean MB players really fail in this aspect lol

The videos of our 2 mini tourney is up at various places which I myself have no clues where too haha. Mistakes aside, both gatherings was a very good experience and the 2nd one a few of us stayed over night at Sugar's / Wilfred's place and continue playing till the next morning.

Well during this time, Joe one of our Satsuki player have went back to Malaysia, and Sevalle our resident HM V-Akiha player have already flown over to Perth for studies and wouldn't be back in a while.

Some of our younger players are heading into the army for their enlistment call ups soon too, Dneo, Chichiboy, Yukarin, their gang of JC students who just graduated.

I am thinking of organising another gathering up for them before they go into army and seeing them before their heads get shaven flat haha.

Even on hamachi netplay, MBAC seems to have grown colder, much fewer players now. I guess everyone is busy with their own commitments or having new games to play. The game is starting to get popular in the US and I am very glad to see it getting revived over there.

On MBAA FT updates, as i posted on round1.sg on our MBAA forum, most probably we would not get to see the game in TKA arcade as the hardware is not going to be Naomi but Ringwide, which is an XP-embedded system that would make a PC port a closer reality than before.

RingWide is made of inexpensive components. Even a new computer built with cheap parts can completely dominate it spec-wise, since it relies on SDRAM along with a recommended graphics card series about three years old and processor that was weak even when it came out.

Info is taken from Meltybread site.

And so regarding our next gathering, lemme me ask around to see if anyone is willing to loan his place for us to play and gather again for just a 1 day over the weekend.
