After a long hiatus (on this site at least) our thread is back! Welcome to Kansas City, home of great beer, great barbeque, and great players with even better attitudes!
KC SRK is a very active community that hasn't had an active thread on this site for awhile, partially because our Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/KcSrk/) servers as a much more active hub for organizing hookups and tournaments, and partially because the SRK redesign sucks ass and nobody wants to bother to use it anymore. Nevertheless we are an active community with meetups two to three times a week, a monthly tournament series (Maxout), and another tournament series that happens every once in awhile (K.O.) This new thread is to basically show people that we do have an active community here, in case people were gauging the activity level of our scene by the old thread that nobody ever posted in.
Despite the title of "Kansas City" this community encompasses a lot of different cities in Kansas and Missouri, mainly Warrensburg and Lee's Summit, MO and Olathe, Lawrence, and Overland Park, KS.
To become a part of the Facebook group simply send a friend request to anyone in the group and they can add you. That's where most of the announcements are but we'll be making a better effort to keep this thread up to date as well.

Hookups:
Currently we have two weekly hookups held at the same place, by our very own focra, Roblox, and GetThere1Time at their house. Every Tuesday starting at 8 or 9 PM is Top Tier Tuesday, a UMvC3 centric hookup that usually involves a ranbat with free entry and prizes donated by the community. That being said all games, Marvel or not, are welcome. Saturday hookups are titled House of Plagues and held in the same place, again usually with an 8 or 9 PM start time. This hookup usually has the most people in attendance and the greatest amount of games being played. Please note that even though these hookups usually happen every week, you should check this thread and the Facebook page for a confirmation that they are happening.
TOP TIER TUESDAYS WILL NOW HAVE STREET FIGHTER RANBATS AS WELL. YOU LIKE STREET FIGHTER? MAKE IT OUT TO TOP TIER TUESDAYS.
Hookup location and start times are on our Facebook page, so become a member to be able to view them and know when hookups are happening/starting and not happening. If you are a new member to the community be sure to post there and let somebody know you are coming so they can help you find the right house.
There will occasionally be Friday hookups hosted as well, but those are variable as to who hosts them and when they happen. Pay attention to this thread and the Facebook group so you can spend your Friday night playing fighting games like a cool person.
Kansas City Tournament Series
MAXOUT
Kansas City's long running monthly tournament series held at Next Door Pizza and Pub in Lee's Summit Missouri, organized and ran by AxioM and Radian. Awesome venue with delicious pizza and beer, so whether you are celebrating your victories or drowning your sorrows over your losses there is something for everyone. Also this should go without saying, but don't be the guy that either A). Buys a pizza and doesn't pay for it or B). brings in outside food or drink into the venue (its a venue that serves food and drink seriously don't be a fucking child). We have something around here called the "Shadow Realm" I'm sure you'll become familiar with, and doing either of those things is sure to land you there. That's not good!
There is a $10 venue fee for this tournament that will be waived if you provide a full setup (console with approved lag free monitor).
Check this thread and the Facebook group for when Maxout will be, it happens every month but the dates change every month as well.
Address of Next Door Pizza and MAXOUT:
3385 SW Fascination Drive, Lees Summit, Missouri 64081
K.O
Kansas City's other tournament series hosted and ran by JSpot. Large spacious venue with plenty of room and now featuring AIR CONDITIONING! The next KO will be held on November 2nd and will also be partnering with the Extra Life Charity to run a 24 hour LAN event to raise money for sick kids! Come out and play some games and support a good cause! This event will be held in Bridgeview Hall, but is normally held in a different venue, the address to which will be posted when it is announced.
Next KO (November 2nd) Address
Bridge View Hall
1041 Burlington, North Kansas City, MO
That's everything in a nutshell, but if you have any questions feel free to ask here!
Fun tips for new players:
Kansas City SRK is a great group of players with WONDERFUL attitudes and we are always willing to help players level their game up regardless of their skill level. That being said if you want to have a good time here there are a few things you should know.
1. Calling "next" on a setup. If you want to actually play games when you show up to a hookup, you're gonna have to do this. We like games A LOT and that means we are going to sit down and play until someone calls next in line. If you don't say anything, you're just going to be a spectator all night. When you call next the set should instantly become 2 out of 3 loser gets off. Everyone in KC SRK is also allowed to invoke the dreaded "Uno Mas" after losing 2 games which means they get ONE (and only one) more game before they have to get off, win or lose. After the Uno Mas their ass is out. Once again, if you don't say anything, we're never going to get off the setups, so if you want to actually play games either A) Call next or B) bring your own setup. We've had a lot of people show up that wouldn't say anything and just watched us play for hours. That's not fun, so get your ass in there and play some games!
2. Noise levels. All hookups in our community are hosted either in somebody's house or apartment, meaning there are neighbors that will call the cops if we get too noisy. Be respectful to the people offering their homes as a hub to play games and their neighbors by keeping the noise levels in check. You can get hype without screaming like a banshee, and without any sort of LAN or gaming center here we rely on people being cool enough to let tons of people into their places of residence to make this community work. TL:DR keep the noise levels down and don't be a bum!
3. Don't be the person that posts tons of stuff in this thread or on Facebook talking down on the community/posting stupid garbage nobody cares about and never shows up to a hookup or tournament. You are wasting everyone's time.
Insert joke about drinking here.
