Title: Pika Ball
Post by: Darkhart on April 13, 2007, 02:45:27 AM
Does anyone remember Pika Ball last year? We're not quite sure if it's allowed or not anymore, but if it is I think we should start again this year :P

Some people started throwing around a stuffed pikachu around in the arcade room. It formed a quite large circle, I believe, until staff broke it up.

I wasn't involved, but I saw it walking past it a few times.

Yeah, it was kinda funny to watch it grow to be as big as it did. It was relitively small when my friend (the blonde female Sora pictured with the pikachu in hand) joind. And then it grew huge. It was pretty funny. I'd like to see it again.

iamTheMe, btw, I'm the guy that filmed it this year, I should have something up on youtube in the next week or two  ^_^

And I'll be glad to help you make it a real event, we must keep the order of the pika alive =O

I actually brought a pikachu to start one up but I never got around to do it. I saw you guys throwing it around but I felt awkward just joining in. Maybe if we had a pikaball gathering people like me might feel a little less shy and join.

:D yay snow ninja. i remember you

i remember dude-with-the-camera too. i kept seeing you and your friend around. post the vid! then i can like...edit it to music or something xD.

narutofan you should have joined in. more people=more fun. and yeah! i want to make pikaball a fanime event or something like that, so they can put down mats or something. cut down on liability so they'll let us play.

>.> my knees are sooo brusied form diving for the pika xD but its worth it.

I'm just thinking here if they made a game of Pika Ball. Everyone would have Special Moves.

Like mine would be Ninja Dash/Slide.
Title: Pika Ball
Post by: x on May 29, 2007, 05:35:03 PM
next year i want to make badges for the people who play or something.

i dont know what my special move would be...umm. something pirate-y. o.o;
Title: Pika Ball

Badges for people who play?

That'd be like. Epic.

And Pirate-y special move?

Lolz.
Title: Pika Ball
Post by: x on May 29, 2007, 05:43:50 PM
something like a badge..idk. im hopefully going to be selling alot more stuff in artist's alley this year so i could make a few extra pins or something to hand out.

pirates can have special moves too. :P. no mocking

But Pirates and Ninja's are Enemies.

You know what we do.

the winners would depend upon the ratio.


a fight-to-the-death gathering sounds like something that would be allowed right?

but from what i remember of the powerpuff girls mojo-jojo was a robot monkey o.o i think that would be a contradiction.

but adding more stuff never hurts. bwaha >: D
Title: Pika Ball

Mojo wasn't a robot, was he? o_o

Plus, adding ninjas and pirates together is kind of a contradiction too... xD

Here's the video I promised, its about 2 and half minutes and shows when we got to our highest count for 2007 which was 108 =) if you want I can see if I can upload some more footage onto a server, so you can download it and add music like you said =P or if you have AIM I can just send it to you

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uF3H1gQlKJY

and at the beginning I included the random guy who came by and used some box as a baseball bat and hit pikachu =X (sorry if you didn't want me to throw it at him ^^;; )
Title: Pika Ball
Post by: x on May 31, 2007, 01:20:50 AM
:D awesome!!

the guy with the box was a guy i go to school with/know, so he was just being a doofus xP 's not a big deal

didnt you get some footage of you playing while filming? i thought i remembered someone with a camera being mowed down by pikachu xD.
Title: Pika Ball
Post by: Tsukin on May 31, 2007, 01:37:03 AM
yeah, I got tons of footage, a lot of which has me playing and holding the camera at the same time, lol, but I didn't want to upload too much since it's youtube =P

that's why I asked if you wanted me to upload a longer version somewhere so you can download it, or I could send it through aim
Title: Pika Ball
Post by: x on May 31, 2007, 01:39:41 AM
yeah, id like all the footage if possible. either aim or putting it somewhere else works.
Title: Pika Ball
Post by: Tsukin on May 31, 2007, 01:43:07 AM
k, just IM me on my sn, Tsukin997, I'll compress the footage either tonight or tomorrow, cuz I have like 4 hours of footage from other stuff going on at the con, lol, I'm editing everything into a documentary, its gonna be kewl =)

I was originally thinking of putting it on yousendit or something, but there's nearly 15 minutes of pika ball footage, so it'd be too big to upload there #_#

if there is going to be a tournament, then the rules must be altered to create competition.

I do not think it would be in the spirit of pika ball if it were to be made into a competitive venture.  THe essence of pika ball is a collective effort to capture a new height, like humanity must bid together in collective action in order to transcend our problems.


.... or maybe just to beat the living crap out of a suffed pikachu.  Either or, really.

if in the case of the latter, competition is okay, i guess. but rules would have to be changed for competition.

a general rule change suggestion: Kicks are worth 2 points.  But thats just 'cause im a ninja and I kick ass, both figuratively and literally.
