5U? You mean after or before the release date?
Probably not til after TFC.
ATTENTION CALIFORNIA PLAYERS:
Dead or Alive 5 Ultimate is extremely close to being released officially. I know a lot of you (including myself) are very excited about getting your hands on the game and playing a lot. Everyone is hyped about the new game and it potentially being our best DOA game to date.
However, I wonder about how committed a lot of you will be to the game. I see a lot of you saying that you want to do what you can this time around, or that you want to do more than you have before. Are all of you (or most) going to live by your words? This is for everyone in this state, NorCal, SoCal, and Central California. Are you guys really going to put in more effort to get out and do anything?
Offline casual gatherings, local events, tournaments, monthly meet-ups. All of these things are available to us, especially when people are working together. Whether it has to be at a public venue or someone's home, if you're able to get things moving, I would strongly suggest doing so. If you have the resources to do something, anything at all (reliable transportation, venue(s), a place to offer for gatherings, etc), get vocal here and speak up. If you don't have something or anything at all, ask someone for help, someone will help you if they can. Carpooling somewhere with other players is good, I do that often with Vincent Rayne and Air Gear.
People will cover you on something if you happen to need assistance on something and if they are able to help out.
There are only a handful of us in NorCal and SoCal getting around on both sides of the state, even with some help. I know for sure that there are a lot of players in California playing Dead or Alive. I know and am fully aware that different people have busy or tight schedules to take care of often. I'm not saying anyone "has" to get up and get out go everywhere every single time for something related to DOA. If you have the time, and you are able to do something, it would be great if you're able to make it to something. Doesn't matter if it's just casuals or a local tournament. There are about less than 20 players going deep out here, when there really should be a lot more.
We really have to start growing ourselves a lot more out here in the west coast. Those of us that do get out regularly or often, we're all pretty tight and are good friends. I can guarantee you that you'll get along with other players after meeting them in person.
In SoCal, Boobiebombs and Vincent Rayne are hosting offline casuals at their homes on Sundays often for players. Vincent Rayne hosts weekly on Sundays, Boobiebombs host monthly on Sundays. I keep in contact with Jennifer from 1337LoungeLive for DOA casual nights and tournaments on days they have available. So, SoCal is moving along pretty well right now.
In NorCal, Return of a Shadow, SomewhatMental and Nykko recruit more players and host gatherings at various venues that's fair within' the area for most players to make it out to. These guys are putting in a lot of effort all too often for players to have places to play and compete.
Both NorCal and SoCal are doing what we can to get things moving along for DOA. And hopefully things will grow from the efforts all of us are putting into our respective areas of the state. I would really like to see DOA in California grow more. We are very a large state and population, there should be more of us getting together and working together to make our game strong on the west coast, don't you think?
Any and all bullshit anyone has with anyone else for any reason, that shit needs to die and die fast. There is no time nor room for pointless banter (if any at all) between anyone. We're too small to afford any rifts. We need to focus on growing our community, and growing our strength (our skills). There are some of us that are very strong already. And then, there are those that have great potential to be stronger too. I will not speak on behalf of players I have not seen or have yet to play at all. But I would definitely like to see what said players are capable of.
I would like to encourage everyone, start speaking up more, try to make plans to get out and go to something if you have time for something. Even if you can only make it to something once a month or every two weeks, if that's how you have to do something, definitely make the effort to do it.
Get out there, meet more players, make friends, play, practice, help each other, share your knowledge, try to learn from one another, help each other grow as a player. All of these things will allow players to grow individually and together. Doesn't matter if you are a new player, a novice, at an intermediate level, a solid player, a veteran, or a high level player. Everyone can learn something from someone else, even if it's just something so tiny that you didn't notice before.
Let's make DOA5U known out here and expose it as a solid game like all of us know it'll be.

Do what you have to do bro. An individual's priorities always come first over video games. "If" you get that break though, I better see dat ass gettin' out and about, lol. :3
Yes. That is pretty much what I've been saying on DOAW. I will continue to do my part when DOA5U hit. I will at the beginning most likely may be attending "less" tournaments due to personal things I have to take care of, and needing to tone it down financially, but I will continue to recruit players. Train players, and help the community any way possible. There are players who gave up on DOA5 saying "I am waiting for DOA5U'. Well DOA5U is almost here and I expect to see a lot of you CA player out here representing your scene whenever you can. Come meet new players, have fun, and the best part EAT together.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it to the gathering next weekend. I'm saving money for numerous trips and tournaments that are happening within the next couple months after the game releases. There's TFC of course, then there's the 1337 Lounge tourney in LA the next weekend, and the Crimson Tournament in Newark. Then there's possibility of the tournament in Nevada. I would love to make it to the gathering but I'll most likely be working so I save up for these events.
That's cool, bro. You know we'll be at those other events as well.
It shall be interesting to see if any of you guys can take out 1337LoungeLive's champion at the tournament.
Aka me, MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! >:3
