(12/7) CLIMB THOSE RANKS! AI Street Fighter IV Tournament Results

Dude you didn’t even show up to the tourney. You have no say in the matter.
Lose to more Vega EX mask throw jump Fierce, bitch! Stop picking shitty low tier characters, faggot!

Wooooooooooooooooooooooooo! GET HYPE!!!

but hey man it’s cool. were all apart of the fighting game community so it’s okay for me to say such stupid fucking things to people. GET HYPE!

[media=youtube]wzCIFcymuCU"[/media] Haha! Can’t stop loving you, Ron.

Big ups to you, son. Fucking WRECKED my shit second round.:tup: People can’t sleep on the day crew.

On the subject at hand-WHEN THE FUCK WAS ANYONE ABUSIVE TO A NEW PLAYER YESTERDAY? I’d really love to know to help quell that shit.

If the situation between Tatsu and myself stuck out in your mind please note-

  1. I love this kid.
  2. He’s cool with it.
  3. My taunting inspired him to rrrrrAAAAPE me second round. Complete with vicious staredown post KO! Silent but deadly.
  4. I love this kid.

I’d also like to think stupid one-liners are far from the [media=youtube]ty7VUjGiGoA"[/media] level comments.

No one’s father was called a scoundrel. No one suggested that they engaged in explicit carnal congress with anyone else’s sister. No one questioned the quality of the other player’s credit score.

Are we really calling each other faggots during tournaments? When was this going on–while I was peeing?

WHAT CLIQUES? Seriously.

Shoutouts etc. when I get back from work.

PS-AI should get rid of it’s deathtrap chairs.

Other results

1st. Chair
2nd. Edma

the only clique is me and lovepig

    – End of List –

i was going for the dragon ball smirk for full effect

also, busta’s abel is fawesome, shit was straight-up rushdown and highly entertaining to watch.

uhh yea i did…i was there a large portion of the tourney boss
and who dropped faggot at the tourney afaik nobody makes personal attacks
theres a huge difference between “your chun li sucks” and “kill yourself you faggot” and i always hear the former when it seems like the latter is being used

ugh im done with this change topiccsssss

ps ignore sanchez in and out of sf4
he insults other people to mask his insecurities.

no its not that great but its the closest thing
and yes whatever gets you drunk
:slight_smile:

quick shoutouts:

paul - ggs, represent the day crew!

mike - i am the wall!

dae - daeeee-o! daeeee-o! way to represent simi valley

ed - you should have crushed that chair with your beastliness

busta - definitely the MVP of the night! good job leveling up that abel technology

luscious luka - where was your commentary??? did the woman steal you away? :expressionless:

as for the shit talking, i don’t think anybody new was shit talked because as far as i could tell, it stays within people who know each other. i don’t think anybody was talking shit to someone they didn’t already know and to me, that’s fine. it doesn’t bother me what outside people think of our community because the fact is, if i see 50 people yelling and screaming over something, i’m probably gonna go check it out to see what the fuss is about. if you’re in an arcade when a bunch of craziness is going down, you’re gonna check it out. if they’re remotely interested in street fighter, i think all the yelling will spark some interest, if they’re not, then they wouldn’t have cared one way or the other.

that said, if anybody was yelling at someone who was new and didn’t know anybody, i think we would have all stepped in and told them to relax.

Gotta say I agree with Viscant, even though my opinion here probably isn’t of any concern to you guys. I’m Tatsu’s older brother, I go with him once in a while and have talked to a few of you at AI, and I’m relatively new to this whole fighting game thing.
There’s a fine line between getting “hype” and being disrespectful. Despite being the funny guy Sanchez is I have seen him also yell random shit at people during casual play too. He has irked guys like Paul and Eric, who don’t go on SRK or know many of you guys personally. I’m sure Sanchez was only trying to give tips and help improve people’s game or inspire them, but that’s not the right way to do it.
Also, during tournaments and such, cheering for your friend is one thing, but being rude and yelling obscene shit at the other guy is out of line. But anyways, like Viscant said…there’s no real way to put rules on this kinda stuff so I can only ask that you think about how the new guys like me looking in from the outside would feel about this community when seeing stuff like that.

I only have one real request though. Some of you motherfuckers need to be considerate and not stand in between the machines when you’re giving tips to your friend or whatever. A lot of times people already have a hard enough time trying to watch the match, so just stand to the left or ride; that’s what I do. And please at least put in an effort to not just rudely move in and stand in front of a guy who’s watching the match. I see this shit happen all the time and amazes me how some of you just blatantly pull a stool up and position it right in front of some kid watching from the back row.

yah 1st time goin to ai and i had fun
ALOT of people showed up
and yah that ish talkin was abit out there…but really
it was more of the tournament jitters since this was only my 2nd 1
bt yah, i agree, js gotta toughen up mentally cuz it is a part of the community
cant wait for the next 1 and hopefully ill do better next time around…i need more PRACTICE:arazz:

since we didnt put up flyers for this tourney, i’m ASSUMING NOW that everyone gets their info about it through the thread.

we should look into pre-registering people and pre-seeding the bracket. good idea, bad idea?

DAAAAAAAAAMN PIMP

i didnt know you were a starr

spread the werd, let the kotaku kids argue “OMG INFINITE SF4 SUX”

My biggest issue with the shit-talking discussion is why no one brought this up at the tournament. We interact with each other constantly; usually not all at once. If this was to be discussed at any time, it should have been then. Being the rational people that we are, we probably would have settled the issue and dropped it, then we’d laugh and eat tacos.

I think people are respectful enough that they keep the shit-talking game related. It’s often just cliche stuff we’ve all laughed at during Marvel videos and whatnot. As long as we keep it at that, I’m sure it’s not gonna lead to anyone throwing down in the parking lot.

Also, I call bullshit on driving new people out. Perfect example being this dude Tim, who’s been coming to AI on and off for the last week or so. He was at this tournament as a spectator, and from what I can tell and from what he told me, he had a great time and wanted to get in on the action. Feel free to argue my point, but I feel that the hype around these tournaments brings more people in than it drives out.

Yeah, I’m pretty new to the scene and who cares what I think, but that’s my two cents.

A friend of mine who came yesterday and was new to the scene and the AI crew felt the same way. This is the only time I’ve heard anyone claim anybody getting shit talked or yelled at in a socal tournament who was a newcomer, and totally contrary to what I’ve seen in the past.

Everyone? … I certainly dont think so.

I totally agree with you man. Thats fucking disrecpectful to everybody.

Oh, shoutouts:

Mike Ross - Get 'em next time brother. Thanks for the tips and advice.

Keno - Dude, I know man. Next time.

Gootecks - Your Rog is so nice! Definitely the most inviting person I’ve met in the scene. Thanks for all the pointers. Remember the deal!! Teach me =D

Christian - 73 Tiger shots in one round. Heartbreak man. At the very least, I don’t think many people there would have lasted 20 tiger shots.

Ronstoppable - I’ve been hearing about you for so long. Watching you play is seriously something else. I gotta meet you next time.

Shoo - The man with the plan. I wasn’t able to talk to you since you were so busy but definitely the finest tourney I’ve been to. Thanks for the good times and popping my tournament cherry.

Sanchez - Everything I heard was true. “Is it breakfast time? Cause this kid is full of Trix!” Golden. You made my first tournament experience something to remember and tell my friends. I must shake your hand next time.

Mark - Good play man. Time for practice and leveling up.

Dann - I’ll see you at practice =P

Kai - Wow. I held down back and got thrown the whole time. I must learn. GG =D

To all the friendly faces I met, thank you. SF4 is just too amazing and the scene is too good.

I hope to see you all and meet everyone in the future.

/John…Rog

Dont worry, you’ll get your revenge…
1v1 sf4 for shots, everyround loss is a shot.
(you can kick my ass in this match)

Yea i had to go. Got called into work on my day off >.< so i only got 1 day off a this week. fakn xmas season, ruining my sf4 life.

Aight, on to another thing i need to get off my chest.

  1. I dont give a rats ass who u are. 1v1 against me? and its on. NO offense, but im here to shut u the fuck up and send u out. Valle, Edma, Gootecks, doesnt matter who u are, I PLAY FOR KEEPS.

  2. Hype is hype. AI is hype, will always be hype. Cant take the hype, move to oregon. The Ultimate warrior didnt walk into the ring and shake hands. That dood came in, wrecked face, ran off screaming “YU MAD?”

  3. After the match is over, hype stops, back to being friends. Everyone can come to me for anything, i shake hands after, and possibly buy you a mug of beer. (SERIOUSLY…ask me to, i will)

If i have ever played u and made u upset during anything, then dood, come to me for a nice hug and maybe a thumbs up. Dont take it personally. I shut up after i loss and shook hands, if any of them didn’t want to shake my hand then “eh” but after a game, TRUST ME…you get my respect. (except for sanchez, cuz he’s dirty…xoxoxo)

gg to all ill post more on giving props to players.

what’s that supposed to mean :stuck_out_tongue:

hahaha…

lets go fool :smiley:

I tried making this into an avatar, still too big. :sad:
