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.
lol, my head is in the pic (drunk vash, last pic, bottom right corner)
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.
Im the sora!!! XDD
Hey guys, we all seriously need to do that again
.... but- it think the pikachu was starting to fall apart
Poor plushi XD
hah. i was the one who started it ^_^. and yes, my pika is all beat up. but he likes it ;D so its all good.
i vote we have a get together or something. o.o anyone else interested? :D
omg you shoud have a gathering
any pikaball 07 players out there? :D
The Snow Ninja of course.
:: bows ::
I was there last year and this year too, it's too bad the staff isn't allowing it anymore >.<
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.
pictures of the pika:

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.
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;
Badges for people who play?
That'd be like. Epic.
And Pirate-y special move?
Lolz.
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.
xP
Pirates win >.>, thats what they do. : P
I want to have a massive pirate-ninja-monkey-robot-cowboy-viking fight and see what happens.
I beg to differ...
:roll:
And everyone knows Ninja's, would prevail.

o_o
Sounds epic.
Lemme know when that goes down. xD
the winners would depend upon the ratio.
a fight-to-the-death gathering sounds like something that would be allowed right?
haha. someone should cosplay a pirate-ninja-monkey-robot-viking-cowboy next year methinks o.o;
o__o I'll do it. >>
xD;;
xD;;
Good luck.
:D. you will be an unstoppable killing machine of awesome.
Can I also add "Powerpuff Girl"? xD
That'd make me invincible. >D
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
Mojo wasn't a robot, was he? o_o
Plus, adding ninjas and pirates together is kind of a contradiction too... xD
But yes, lets add anything we can! >3
i really have no idea xD
I think at one point he was a cyborg...
But I don't remember, it's been like 6 years.
naw, he wasn't a robot, cuz there was an episode that showed when mojo was still a little monkey =P robots can't grow, lol, unless he's like a plant or something o.O
A tiny little person should come dressed at a Pikachu, and we should throw him/her around. >:]
i think we'd definatly be forced to stop playing if we did that :(
..but maybe if someone volunteered their child or something >:D
Hahahah~!
That's so evil!
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 ^^;; )
: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.
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
yeah, id like all the footage if possible. either aim or putting it somewhere else works.
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 #_#
That video seems awfully quiet for being in the Gaming Room...
Ah well. It was still uber fun.
^_^
sup!im a pika ball player 06' and 07'.
lets have a game! im sure we can find a space to have the game. theres a park right across the street. but the arcade room is still and ideal place.
you should post the rules....and we should make our own team jerseys!
OOOOOOH!!!!!! We should organize a pikaball Tournament. That would be soooooo cool! XD
Hiyee :D yes i'd love to play pikaball again!
I played it first time this year :)

PIKA BALLLLL
06 and 07 player here
you can even see me in the picture, im the girl just to the left of the one punting pika up
stupid conguy, breaking it up, i had to go play frisbee instead >:
we have to do this in 08
o.o can a newb join? it sounds like tons of fun! =X
im up for 08!!!!
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.

You know what would be even cooler. Other people throwing in other pikachus. XD
even better? pika-dodgeball tournaments.
that sounds cool i would join in. if a new pikaball is needed i have a pikachu plushie i could bring.
Yeah I can steal...I mean "borrow" my brother's pikachu plushie. XD
The original Pika is in working condition still ;P. Hangin' out in my room and such.
We need to figure out a way to be able to play this year guys. Con has shut us down the last two.
Any ideas?
Hey!
I'm still down for Pika-Ball!
And I agree, it totally sucked when the Con shut us down. But I understand why they did at least, safety and all. Whoopdee-doo.
Lets do it again this year anyways. Same place. ;D
I vote we figure out a definite meeting time. We'd still have the random games pop up of course, but then we'd be assured a decent sized group of people.
sadly I joined pika ball only minutes before the entire game was ended.
Would anyone be interested in a game on Thursday? Probably a few blocks away- on a SJSU lawn. We could have a few rounds of pikaball and some pre-fanime fun \o/.

I'd be interested, as long as it doesn't conflict with picking up my An Cafe tickets.
Oh, and as long as it's after noon - 1pm, since my flight lands not long before that. ^^;
I was thinking sometime after it starts cooling down outside, but before dark. Maybe 5 or 6ish? If we can get a decent sized group then we should totally do this.. RSVPs anyone?
Fanime is so close ^_^ I'm excited.
Sign me up!
i shall try and make it
I seem to remember they game (or one of them, anyway) taking place in the long hallway outside exhibit 3 (I think) at around 2am.
So is it goin down again this year?! o_O
PIKA-BALL SAT IN THE GAME ROOM!!! Show up you crazy kids. Lunch-ish, maybe like 2? Look for the Casey Lynch [Guitar Hero 3] with the pika!
:D :D Pikaball '08. Be there.
Pika-Ball Sunday at 2!
Empty corner of the game room ^_^.
