The 8-Bit Sessions

I spent a bit of time talking with Lemon about my game and we both agreed that there are a good number of mid level players who want to get better but do not have access to good competition consistently, or at all. So I present to you all the 8-Bit Sessions. For those who don’t know what sessions are, they are a few hours spent playing against other players,trying and learning new strategies, watching other players and generally sharing knowledge. Sort of like what used to happen when you go to arcades.

With that said here’s the breakdown of how this is going down. Every Sunday after 7 and until we decide to go home, we will be playing SF. I know AE is out in CF (Thank you Henry<3) but most tourneys will be played on console and when it hits consoles, we will continue running sessions.

I will try to make sure I have one of the pros come through every now and then and beat us all up. Who knows, at the end of the night we may just do a tournament depending on the turn out. In terms of pricing, it is totally free. I would say leave a suggested optional donation of 5 bucks or whatever you want,which would go to the purchase of chairs (more comfortable ones) for future tourneys, once the goal is met. Then that donation is going to towards getting food and drink for the night. Will Spooky stream it? If he wants to. Where is the venue? 35 St Marks pl (it’s where the tourneys are held). How many set ups do we run/can support? The answer is 6, they are all LCD. We are running 360 mainly but we can play PS3, please send me a message if you have a preference. If there are any questions feel free to email me (which is at the bottom of the post) for more details. Oh two important things, the first is obviously BRING YOUR OWN CONTROLLER. The second one maybe a little bit more subtle so I’ll spell it out for you: BATHE and WEAR DEODORANT. It’s a small venue so lets make sure we’re smelling decent.
