I’ll post more about that in the other topic for it even if I’m just talking to myself,
or I’ll get some posts from out of nowhere if I mention free parking then.

Dander said Asian Babes teaters. He can’t unsay it.
“I gotta go bro, see ya when I see ya.” -Dander offers handshake
he stays for 6-8 more games anyway. Disappears like a ninja somehow after. Good shit.
I’m winning this tournament as a final nod to, hands down, being the #1 3s player in America’s history and also setting the Donkey Kong Jr. world record on stream. Be there. No joke.
Mongolians at the gates!
I’m really sorry to say, but I unfortunately won’t be able to make it to this tournament. I have to head to the East Coast this Friday and won’t be back for a week and a half.
I would like to say, however, that it was a privilege to have been able to go to FFA at least once in my life. The atmosphere really is like nothing I’ve felt in the US, and to think that was just a shell of its peak years is pretty mind-blowing. You guys treated me well and I have nothing but respect for the SoCal scene(and a really special thanks to Mattxchin for making it happen for me). If all the rest of you have never been, you just don’t know.
Thank you for reinforcing my love for 3rd Strike, something I haven’t been able to feel since Japan.
for whatever reason 3s will be at 11 PM, and supposedly there is a 3s team tourney at 4 AM???
come hang out with me aku. we can have our own tournament :3
They are not making easy for any out of town people to make this. 
o_O @ 4am
ya I’m not sure the rationale. I guess something needs to pick up the third shift of a 24h stream but I don’t think I’ll be entering.

Took friggin Brandy to the Prom
He pulls up in the “Ultimate Driving Machine” White 2 door coupe, clean. Status even if you want to hate and say it’s a lease he still gets a front and center parking spot.
Collared shirt not quite red not quite purple, like that Sega Yakuza Gangster. When I met SD’s Ryan he was similarly fitted like a club hopper with the blue carbon one. You buncha super gangsters.
5Star is like the Last Boss of FFA, Pyro might be the Secret Boss. He never shows up (in the regular gameplay), or only plays when he has to fight you know?
Vinny is LeBron James. The Phenom, this young guy came out of nowhere. Carved his own lane and legacy even though he came after Kobe.

This better have something for Kobe haters… click here if you hate Kobe? But don’t blindly hate and imagine your favorite player in such a situation, then know he is human to the core.

Kobe has some chin, he didn’t get knocked down… or throw a punch at all and you can bet that guy Chris Childs never played the next season or two.

Thought ya’ll said 5 Star didn’t meet Kobe…
Times Kobe cried:
-
Beat in 2003 by KG’s eventual Western Conference finalists team. He just wanted to win or who knows what broke him down.
-
After the All Star game in Philly, he’s crowned the MVP. Notorious for booing anybody, even Santa Clause, Kobe is booed. A young man actually from Philadelphia, not the guy on their Hometown’s team roster, the adopted son of Virginia Commonwealth’s “Bubba Chuck” Iverson.
So the story goes he walked back thru the tunnel and with tears in his eyes he asked the first person he saw, Scoop Jackson –prone to crazy stories that just might be true- “Man Scoop, what the fuck?” – I didn’t know what to tell him, other than: “In 10 years they’ll understand.” Not understand you, but what you’ve done in the game and for the game. Guess I need to track down that issue’s cover story too and quote it more accurately.
“Season on the Brink” also by Scoop Jackson was also one to track down. I misplaced mine. Excerpts that I remember go:
This might be the last season we ever see Kobe Bryant play. He knows it too. Its about to be Jordan ’87 up in this bitch. 37 PPG all 82, extended playoff time. Nobody will stop him. Whatever happens in the courtroom, means nothing when he’s on the court.
Being flown in at halftime and being late to the game due to court proceedings was way too much for any fan to want to have to deal with. Kobe never complained, he just put in work. Imagine though, Iverson in that position might’ve been straight suspended and not allowed to do this. Kobe lost the sponsorships and such of course until it was settled, corporate America being scared when they’re corrupt anyway.
Sidetracked again, lotsa Kobe. He popularized ‘Kobay’ Beef there didn’t he and nobody says it the real way so he made his own lane, a new accepted pronounciation. Speaking of pronunciations, I’m like 12 here, 1997, Kobe is making waves. “Kob-ay Japanese beef, his parents tried it and enjoyed it enough to name their kid that. Hmm. What is he, another kokujin?”
“Coke-uh-Jean” how my dad is saying it, damn that’s the most racist thing I ever heard, coca-cola genes? Way more wrong than hyuck hyuck, old white guy dad stuff in “knee-grows” the joke for every school playground. Chalk it up to another “shit my dad says,” and I never learned for years what that meant truly an its not particularly negative, thanks Dudley Pizza Beast.
Right so people might have hated Pyro’s reign, much like Larry Bird who just always won for how long of a decade, but Pyrolee is essentially Michael Jordan.
Frankie 3s is actually more like Dr. J in that everyone wanted to do the flashy stuff right? Only taking that side of the game. He’s the reason jerks like Nate Robinson or better yet JR Smith exist (JROD style?). Everything he does is an attempt to be on Sportcenter’s Top Ten. He’s NBA JAM personified, only 3 pointers and Dunks and bravado to AND1 style stop the game levels and throw it up to the crowd: “WHAT?!”
So the Kobe 2’s can be like a wrong turn and nothing like the original or really dope. Heh “Orca (whale)” nicknamed training shoe, double strapped like the original signature KB8 straps based on a straightjacket probably.

Have an old maybe 2nd year, not a Kobe Rookie Card sadly, “Kobe handles every game, every reporter like a 10 year pro, what’s he going to be doing in 10 years then?!”
Dander here does the same thing with the stick that 5star does if he’s hit with a Super, or the one I saw, a Jinrai vs him. Calm and cool, just slowly 360 360 360 it, counter clockwise or regular clockwise whatever. No buttons.
He also thinks he ascribes to the same philosophies and has the baits down and the way to do whatever he wants to force his presence on the other player. It goes into Kobe’s life of perhaps trying to emulate the best and then surpass him, even if he never may in critics eyes, they can admit he made his own lane.

Broke something early in his career like Jordan too?
http://i6.minus.com/ibhi1nTU1MJzLH.PNG
lol
"the other MJ"
Forgot 00 if he’s Bobby Jackson or Tony Delk, Divac, Lawrence Funderburke weren’t going to ever handle that team.
So it might be a little bit and nobody will see it when Dander surpasses 5Star like it seems impossible but that’s sort of a thing to strive for right? “I’ll get to Japan too, but by then maybe no one will care.”
So is Dander the adidas Kobe TWO or the Nike Kobe 2, or The Question & The Answer?!
That reminds me its easier to shoot the jumper and Say Kob! Or Kobe! Than it is to do that and what, say LeBron? That sounds clunky even if he does get up.
Sorry for some or really like most all of this, haha. Maybe I’m seeing things that aren’t there or embarrassing to reveal to those who shouldn’t know or might otherwise not know these things. But at the end of an era, its fun to look back or see a future with the players around you right? No harm in that even if I’m 100% off base in my assessments. I try to keep a lot of your stuff then and there and don’t take it with me, but put together this amalgam over a few different things that kept coming up and lining up like a puzzle with conjoining pieces. It almost wrote itself like that you know.

If this was for the FGD forum topic, sorry Watson, it would be more boring.
Shit some guy complained directly to him about “that’s not 24 hours total” like that asshole is going to watch the whole thing and be up then or can’t just watch the archive later, he probably doesn’t know who Mike Watson is either.
If people want to know about the area:
MTA- Watch Tom Cruise Jamie Foxx Collateral
Ralphs- Watch The Big Lebowski

Bathroom door has no lock, ladies beware or wary I suppose, have common courtesy for the closed door. My last boss at work was retarded and didn’t understand a closed locked door, terrible experience.
I told people I was going down there to lose every game and I did that. Then why do you go? Like the airport people when you check in your stick to go to EVO or anywhere, do you win? But you go back every year? Yeah. You shouldn’t even waste your time explaining, they won’t understand.
Lost to a girl SA1 Blue Ken, cross up fishing on my Urien lol She Kara Shoryu’d though.
I did actually win 1 game, some Hugo got bored of us on the other side and taunted a lot. Actually motivated to KILL AND CRUSH I did win, which was right before the blue ken game probably since I didn’t put up a 2 win streak even.
Some guy thought I was a 12 player, Dander must’ve trolled me and him here. “Wheee! COM~PLETE” He ate a Hugo max range HAMMER MOUNTAIN when he went meaty Necro Sweep to win and thus lost to wakeup miracle hail mary super blow thru and all that damage “Crouching” damn.
We both pointed at that and laughed what the hell happened kept Necro in hit stun so long to let Hugo run up for the next hits of the Super.
It sucks to learn of course you’ve been playing the wrong version for how long, a fake that they claim is arcade perfect or just the traveling tournament standard ones for more Joystick support in PS2 or with the first online in Xbox 1 with crazy quirks like sJump slowdown. It was like being put in front of a Ferrari when all I’m used to is a pinto engine underneath a kit car body of the real thing.
Lose every game convincingly, look stupider than I am, but the best part is I want to go back again.[/details]
& of course as of this writing – writer’s note: I have been down there 1 more time. Didn’t look as stupid playing, with less eyes around to see, but wasn’t scared to put the quarter up and lose to 5Star Urien, Gouki, and then Ken there on the “big boys machine” just casuals but its great he gives us the practice and will fight everybody with basically any character and the fundamentals carry over as well as stuff he knows per character. He did some more stuff I wrote down (that even with my memory I don’t want to forget that cool shit and go learn more about these kinda things) vs an Aegis, heh. Supposedly red hitboxes with blue hittable ones in there but no trading happened and he could poke thru it cleanly at a certain range or nJump Roundhouse into one with smaller hitboxes/hurtboxes doing so.
Easier to digest one:

I’ve Seen every type of person there @ FFA
i… i… don’t even…
probably 75% of the people i have seen play on a cab spin the stick slowly only making it hit the switches (not the gate) while waiting for anything to happen on screen.
seems to be a really common thing. that and drumming buttons when you throw someone.
I’m seriously going to see if I can last until the 4 AM team tourney. I’m arming myself with copious amounts of energy drinks. I also realize that alcohol will probably be in my system, but oh well?
Man, fuck the police!
