Jive, sounds good, but implementing ideas generally is a pain in the ass. Much as I’d like to see things run smooth and new stuff introduced (swiss pairs, stuff along the lines of what Jive posted) it’s just hard to get new stuff introduced to the masses.
I guess ‘shout outs’ are in order.
But I’m not shouting.
Of course to the rest of the VCU staff in no particular order: Robin, Billy, Tope, Jacob, Andrew, and everyone else who helped.
Special Thanks go to Rebecca (Moose’s Girlfriend) for letting us use her VW Golf at 2 in the morning to move the plasma screens. Those things are pretty, but they’re a pain in the ass. I vote we just get projectors or more TVs next year. Those things don’t weigh much, but carrying them up stairs after being up for 16+ hours is tiring.
The Commons Staff that helped us clean up. They were good sports about hanging around till the wee hours and making sure all the TVs/Trash/etc was picked up. I doubt any of them post here, but they were a big help.
All the guys that helped out with running tournies. You guys were amazing at keeping shit in line. I don’t think we would have been able to finish much of anything if you guys hadn’t stepped up.
Now on to games:
Lucious: I watch you play K in awe. Moose says we have similar K playstyles, but I don’t see it. Your Geese is top tier.
Pat van Pelt: I dunno what happened that one round with my R2 Mai and your R1 Eagle, but that’s the only thing that won me that match. I dunno why you switched your R2 Blanka for R2 Sagat, Blanka does WAY better against Mai than Sagat does. You still won either way, but at least I got to play a match I’m comfortable with (Mai vs Sagat).
I’m sad, I didn’t get to play B.More Chun, Rugal B, anyone from New York, Kafuin from NC, and I don’t think I had but one match with the Nova kids in 3S (I think it was B1gAzn on the plasma right before HF, but I’m not sure).
I got stomped in HF. I found out why the next day when Robin told me to get the ‘true’ ST versions of characters you had to hold start when you picked them. I was wondering why I wasn’t hitting the stored Ochio vs Bison; I just thought I was messing up really bad.
Joe O: Lets get some live on sometime. Invite me whenever, whereever. I’m sad we didn’t get to play.
Nova Guys: B1g, n-ken, the whole lot of you: We really should have grabbed some matches together. I guess in the long run it doesn’t matter because I should be moving to Springfield shortly. Apartment hunting is a bitch.
I guess that’s enough shoutouts.
Robin, the Sanwas came in the mail Saturday afternoon. Next time I’m down there I’ll put yours in.
I don’t know if he posted anything about it, but Robin’s backpack went missing. It had his Gamecube and about 5 games, a couple of which weren’t even Robin’s. Kevin’s Camcorder got jacked, Tope’s wavebird and ps2 -> dc converter, Moose’s ps2 -> dc converter, and alot of other random stuff.
We did find a black wool jacket laying on a table after everyone left. In the pockets were some cheap unsharpened throwing knives. If this is yours send either Robin or myself a PM and we’ll try and arrange to get it to you.
