Alright time for the worst part of any somewhat large gathering…the shoutouts. So heaven or hell…lets rock!
Chickenfat: Great matches bro. It was fun to see that you’re adept at playing what seems like the entire 3s cast. Your Sol was deadly too. We could learn alot from each other’s Uriens so I look forward to playing again with you at Acen. Oh and Silent Hill 2…you know what I mean.
Paul: I never did get to fight your Oro, although maybe that was for the better considering how much of a beast he was. You’re one of the few, if not the only, Yagyou Dama players that I know and I always find it refreshing to see someone doing something new. Thanks for the Guilty Gear tips, I still need to understand the flow of that game but I’ll take any help that I can get. It was fun playing Arcana with you…just don’t let Chris Hansen know.
Deryck: You put us up, you give us free food and drinks, and you introduced me to Rambo fucking 3! What more needs to be said. Good stuff as always man, the work you’ve done for the Indianapolis scene is quite commendable. I’ll see you at GW sometime.
Riot: Good matches as always bro. Thanks for showing me some more unblockable setups. Given a couple of months, Urien will definately be my main character. Well hes technically my main right now but not my best if that makes any sense. We’ll have to get Arcana and practice some Guilty one of these days. And thanks for the compliment on my “Bear”. I’m gonna get that demon to comeout like it does on my old stick, its a good tool to have as you saw lol.
Mr. Gone Hates You: Your Urien is as fierce as ever. I didn’t get as many matches against you as I would have liked but they were good all the same. let me know if you need any help weighing up Joystick options and I can help you out with that.
Ghetto (aka some canadian bum): Good matches man. Your Dudley absolutely destroyed my Urien. I absolutely hate that matchup lol. I’m glad you got your graveyard stick working again. You forgot your component cables again lol. They’re at Deryck’s place.
Gouki: I’m always more and more impressed by your Makoto. You’re getting more consistent with that SA2 cancel and your utilizing Makoto’s strengths alot better now. Playing Gem Fighter and Alpha 3 was good stuff, we’ll need to do it again some time. I’ll give you a call next time I’m downtown and have some free time. We should be seeing a lot more of each other now that its summer and the school term is practically over.
Brent and Gary: How do I approach this in a delicate manner? The shit talking did get a little excessive and obnoxious. I don’t think that it was done to malicously or intentionally. Everyone gets a little carried away sometimes, but aslong as everyone can come to an understanding no harm no foul right? Now that I’ve taken care of the unpleasantness, good matches and its definately true that I get within winning distance and then do something stupid. That whole day was a bit of an off day, I just couldn’t get things to happen the way I would’ve liked, but live and learn.
If I’ve forgotten anyone, then I’m sorry but rest assured that I had a great time. Now for some misc. stuff.
The matches should be uploaded soon. I need to get the list from Deryck, and edit them all up, but I’ll get them on Youtube soon enough.
Aegis: You’ll get to see my Urien mirror match with Justin and I think there might be some of Mario’s on there but I’m not sure. I did play some Ken aswell. Overall though I feel I could’ve done much better and I’m sure you’ll have some words for me after you’ve seen the tape. I’ve told the people that are going to St. Louis the plan and they all seemed cool with it, so I think we should plan on meeting up on Thursday as we planned.
phew…that took long enough but was necessary all the same.
