Deleted Account Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 https://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Tecmo-Super-Bowl-meetup/ I talked to a few of you guys at Madison about having a monthly get-together and play Tecmo. I also put it on Meetup as I had a friend use it successfully to gather a lot of traffic for his group. Anyways if you live near Chicago or just want to come we will be having our first Meetup in the first or second week of May. Right now we are shooting for a ride, wed or Thurs night. 6 to 10. Tom has a potential location that we can use and we will confirm an exact date. If your interested and can bring equipment send me an email to [email protected]. Also if you have any questions. Also take a moment to sign up for the group on MeetMe. That will help recruit new people. Green Majik and red98sethuthut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Majik Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Thanks for organizing, Mort! I'm in and signed up on Meet Up. First week or two of May sounds great. Of course, knowing a set date earlier is better than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trojan1979 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Our regular get togethers in Green Bay, be it casually, or in tournament form really grew over the past 2 years. Our last one got us up to 24. Do I smell a tournament scene popping up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll bring my SNES with Jam, Jam TE (+Hang Time, because why not?), along with my multitap. Um, my tv only has low volume, and the SNES fades in/out of color. But you know, hehe, that's retro for ya. allamerican1569 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Majik Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 THE CHALLENGE, taken from the Meetup page: "I'm adding a challenge to out meet up. Each person that wants it, gets one game against Mort using our tier system. First person to beat Mort wins $50." Is the tier system similar to Tomczak Bowl's? red98sethuthut 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just took a look at the Tomczak Bowl's Tier List. It is similar without the intersecting teams and allows for more matchup flexibility. I want reveal the visual at the meet up. Mort and I will most likely do a video this next week explaining the tier list in more detail. I will post it in this thread.

Here's the tier system as outlined in the vid, which streamed today: tier 1: 49ers, Giants, Oilers, Bills tier 2: Chiefs, Bears, Eagles, Raiders, Dolphins, Bengals tier 3: Vikings, Lions, Rams, Chargers, Redskins, Buccaneers, Broncos, Cowboys tier 4: Steelers, Cardinals, Falcons, Jets, Saints tier 5: Packers, Browns, Seahawks, Patriots, Colts As I understand it, the player who wins the toss chooses the tier, then the loser chooses the team from that tier OR any tier below. Last, the winner chooses a different team from the same tier the loser picked from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allamerican1569 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 We are all set for Tuesday! I just got back from Michael Anthony's and they have outlets galore in the back room. Between Mort and I, we have 5 TVs and 3 Nintendo Systems with Tecmo Super Bowl. I will set up one TV with 4 player NBA Jam on the Sega Genesis. Joseph, if you want to bring your TV with NBA Hangtime there is definitely room for it. For anyone else if we could get one more Nintendo there with Tecmo Super Bowl, that would be great (So we can have 4 TVs set up with TSB). I plan on streaming Mort attempting to run the gauntlet during the $50 challenge on my YouTube Channel: The Retro Sports Gamer. I am inviting quite a few locals to come out to see if we can get them interested in playing in Tecmo Super Bowl tournaments. I am going to give 3-4 inexperienced locals a crack at Mort before having Joseph, Rico, Flo play him. I will put you guys in order to play him based on who shows up to the event first. We will be using our new tier list for the games and will reveal the nice visual we created at the event. I will print out some additional tier lists for whoever wants to take one with them. I'll see you all there. Invite whoever you'd like. Let me know if you have any questions. Green Majik and red98sethuthut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tecmobo Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Wish I could have made it but weekdays are tough for me. I checked in on the stream though and looked liked a good time. Hope the Chicago Tecmo scene continues to grow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamerican1569 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 (edited) We had a great turnout yesterday for our first Chicago meet up at Michael Anthony's. We had over 30 people coming in and out throughout the course of the night. We had 6 guys there that have played in Tecmo Tournaments, and a lot of local friends who came to check it out either by personal invite or hearing about it on facebook. We ended up with 7 TV's hooked up with games. 3 Nintendos with Tecmo Super Bowl, 2 Super Nintendos (one with 4 player NBA Hangtime and one with NBA Jam TE 2K17), 1 Sega Genesis with 4 player NBA Jam TE, and 1 NES mini for people that weren't as interested in sports games. Mort ended up going 7-1 in the $50 challenge taken down by Flo and his Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Congrats to Flo! It was really a great time. We played from 6:30pm to 11:30pm on a TUESDAY. If anyone is interested in meet ups like this in Chicago let us know as we will have more in the future. Thank you to everyone who came out and Special Thanks to Mort, Joseph, and my brother Matt for bringing their TVs and equipment.

allamerican1569 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 (edited) Winner of the Coin Flip is Player 1 and gets choice of Tier Loser of Coin Flip is Player 2 and choses team first from the Tier Player 1 chose or a lower Tier Player 1 chooses team from Tier originally chosen or a lower tier We are proposing to use this Tier List during any events or tournament we run in the future. It aims to do a few things: - Educate newer players on what teams match up well against each other - Educate newer players on the best offensive and defensive player on each team as well as their most desirable attribute - Creates greater matchup flexibility - Allows players to focus on using favorite teams in each tier - Allows players to practice using a minimum of 10 teams (2 from each tier) to prepare for a tournament. - Gives a quick guide for Field Goal Kicking Range for each team for experienced and newer players alike If you would like me to send you the Tier List file in the original size as a PDF or JPG, please email me at [email protected] Edited May 16, 2017 by allamerican1569 The Ultimate Weapon, Green Majik, trojan1979 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
