I'm always in Chicago because I kinda live here
I can get anywhere within unreasonable walking distance from the any of the CTA train stops
speaking of which how is the transit system there in Chicago?

Works pretty well. Deadly accidents are fairly rare, I'd say.

The Austin stop on the green line is closest to EXP, but it's still a few miles away. I can pick people up at the station on days I'm able to make it out there myself (some monthlies, quarterlies).

The lines get you just about anywhere ya want and are *ahem* pretty on time every 16 min or so

Ignore the people staring at you and the weirdos who fight on top of running trains and you'll be fine

There are Ventra stations at almost every stop so it's easy to get a card
The "Lake" stop is top tier and connects all the Lines together
You'll find yourself passing through that one a lot

I'd like to sign up for the Wulfmobile next time something like this happens

Wulfmobile? Somehow I picture either Kai or Beo driving a 1959 Cadilac with a Howling Wolf Head ordainment on the hood of the car. In a slick metalic grey paint job.
 
but like that's the Swag wagon. I mean yeah having that in real life would still be cool but like... eh, I just personally like how the Cadilac looks. It's nice looking car.
 
Skullgirls has gotten a lot of attention at WIT lately so this weekend they're going to host their first SG tournament. If you're in the suburbs and think getting out to the city is a pain this is the tournament for you.

Saturday July 25th at 7pm
$5 venue fee, $10 to enter
https://www.facebook.com/WITGames

Setups will be needed so if you can bring one please do, even if it's just a console.
Depending on the number of entrants we will either do round robin or bracket.
Come level up your Skullgirls and let's show there's an interest for SG tournaments!

Wait, you're actually moving to Chicago? Do I have a new training partner now?

Picking up Elda Taluda is a phenomenal upgrade to the Chicago SGC.

Awwww you flatter me so. I'm really just ecstatic to be in an area with people to play in PERSON for once in 4 years. #FINALLYASCENE
 
We need to level up in the midwest for sure so having people be closer is a good thing. Ya'll should try attending monthlies regularly so that maybe I can some of these times.

I really want to. Weeklies are unfortunately never gonna be a thing I can make, family man, etc. Like the upcoming WIT tourney, though, I can make it our to monthly events if they align. It would be cool for us to come up with something of a plan for our monthly meetups.
 
Oh my god. This is happening. Taluda in Chicago. So jelly.
 
Popping in to say ya'll Chicago folks are always welcome at Maxout every month!

I can house you too if you give me enough advance notice

Anyway if anyone here knows what the "Back in the Game" game store chain is, there is a location in Homewood that I'm trying to start a scene at.

We picked up Taluda and dropped @EFHRK . On the up and up.

Does WIT have a stream?
 
Which stream is it going to be on? (Also couldn't get anyone else to go down, too soon after evo and everyone is tired RIP).
 
Last night was a lot of fun. Grand Finals was a lot of good matches so go watch them if you haven't!

Is it WIT or EXP on Saturdays? Or both? I don't really have a preference
 
EXP is having another tournament with SG, extra $25 to first place. Anyone looking to go? I want to go since it'll be the last Chicago event I can go to for a while but I'm curious if people would rather focus on WIT monthlies.

Not sure about EXP but WIT is on Saturdays
Edit: to clarify, WIT has casuals every Saturday and their monthly SG tournament is every fourth Saturday of the month

Yeah yeah I'm in
Um so like when and where though
I asked on FB and half the regulars said they couldn't make it, so I'm aiming for the WIT monthly, on the 22nd of August.
 
So I'm new to the fighting game community and just wanted to know if you guys still go to Ignite and WIT. (Only have been playing for about a year now)

People still go to both but I'm not sure how much SG is played at Ignite, someone else should weigh in. I know SG is definitely played at WIT though. Typically if people go it's posted about on the Facebook page here https://www.facebook.com/groups/SkullgirlsChicago/
This thread and that group should keep you in the know of everything SG related going on in and around Chicago.

I go to ignite as much as I can and WIT is too far for me outside monthlies.
I won't be there this week but I'm going for sure the next two weeks after that.
 
Ok cool I'll try making it to Ignite this Saturday cant go to WIT tomorrow
