About time.... (Reno thread)

??? How many people are going, and are willing to go anyway??? I’ve been thinking about this trip and it seems too wacked out atm. I don’t get it. Put all this talk for tommorow (err I mean today since it’s freaking 3:04 am), so talk to ya’ll later.

JP

Well if ya guys unable to make it to Sunnyvale then why not visit us guys at the Fairfield Mall Tilt? At least it’ll save close to two hours driving but it’s a small thought of mine. :slight_smile:

Right now trying to practice more on Sol’s Dust loop and Testament. As for Eddie well I do have something new that works out extremely well but it is a bit difficult. Here is the layout of my scheme.

c.S, s.HS, d, d+S frc, hcf-u+S frc, quick dash s.P, j.K, j.HS, j.Dust or air overdrive. It’s kind of crazy but in the beginning you have to be extremely quick with the execution after the frc d, d+S however I’ve already tested it and it works very well.

So basically once any Eddie player gets the frc timing down on the d, d+S drills then there is an excellent chance that you can set up any opponent for an air combo or let them eat a s.S, c.HS, overdrive for massive damage. If they do block the drill but still get the frc then you still have plenty of time to rushdown your opponent. Anyway that is my hints for today Eddie wise. Back to practicing for me. :smiley:

I’d like to go to Sunnyvale as always but it does seem to be a hassle to bring a whole other vehicle to fit one or maybe 2 more people than would fit in Rob’s car since he is going anyways. I don’t know if Nick Yacono plans on going but I’m sure JC and Paul still would like to go, so that’s only 4, a nice comfy ride in Rob’s car. That leaves me out me but I’d be willing to stay home to make things easier, I’ve been before and I got to go to Evo last year so JC should go ahead and go and get some more big tourney experience. Sunnyvale rocks me at cvs2 except for some of the scrubbier folks and all I have is Potemkin in GGX2 which would probably get rocked to, I’d like to go if there’s room (I don’t know how roomy Rob’s back seat is) but I’d stay behind with no hard feelings to make it easier for you guys. It seems that it was coming down to this anyways so you guys can just show me the videos of you guys owning up :slight_smile:

Ok this is the plan… as of last night… talkin w/ Paul

We both are taking our cars… Paul has decided to take his car instead of the SUV…

Paul car - Paul, JC, Nick, Chris

My car - Me, JP, Joe

so it’ll be an easy ride for everyone… :smiley:

Im leaving Reno probably around 6:30am im probably gonna pick JP up at his place at 6:30.

Hopefully Joe will meet JP at his place so we can just go from there…

everyone else needs to talk to Paul and see where u guys are gonna meet up…

ARMADILLO WILLIES!!!:cool: :smiley:


Yashiro… cool stuff… gotta check it out…


Peace…

Lates,

ROB_UNR

Ok i got everything set up and ready to go so no worries. I have 2 empty tapes to bring with us…that should be more than enough this time. And are we staying for finals that night btw?

That’s cool that there will be room for everyone, I was just suggesting that if one more person was to many and only Rob’s car was to be taken I wouldn’t mind staying behind, I planned on cleaning my room tommorrow but I will gladly wait for till Sunday. This time I’m gonna pay attention to GGX2 more, rather than cvs2 like last time, nothing new in that game and GGX2 has been growing on me, see you guys tommorrow.

I hardly even pay attention to CvS2 anymore unless it’s a match from John Choi which he always has good technique.

Right now I’m quite inconsistant with Sol’s Dust loop however I finally do know how to pull it off. Testament I’m getting better so that way I can show the Fairfield players as to how he plays. Well good luck at Sunnyvale and throw everything that you have at them. :smiley:

Yashiro…There can be only one Yushiro. :slight_smile:

WAKE UP FOO’s!!! RISE AND SHINE COG SUGGAS!!! Time to go back to sunnyvale and show them our 1337 skillz…yeah whatever. Oh yeah chris my stick is broken again. Same spot but this time its 4 cords that came off…btw it wasnt 12 times it was 8 get it right SUGGA!!!

I wanted to say, good job rep’in Reno Crew (Chris, Paul, JC ( like you said bro, you weren’t going to get double elim’d :slight_smile: ), and Nick for doing a GJ on both games). Sorry me, Rob and Joe didn’t make it due to me being stupid and not driving safely. I should’ve been there with you guys, but I’m stupid, and I’ll never forgive myself for doing this shit.

Well, can’t just think about that now can we. Gotta move on. I’m thinking this weekend (8/2/03) we’ll have a free-for all tourney, no entry fee, just practice tourney for EVO. I’m thinking since it’s a free tourney, I hope we get a big turnout to see peep’s and try to at least compete. But as Paul said before, greed motivates. But IMO since we’re all going to EVO (8 of us at least), it’s better for us to just save up as much as we can for Evo, remember fool’s for the Hotel room (this pretty much covers the days we’ll be there-Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) which all costs $99.00 a night) the total is around $400.00, roughly. So I don’t know how much we’ll split this up since we’re having 2 rooms, and that’s $400, for each room, ($800.00) for both. So remember $100.00 for each person. EACH, so please come up with this before we get there, since Rob needs it in his account before the day we leave (8/6/03) since our flight is at (8/7/03). Sounds good?? Anymore questions, just feel free to ask us in person. If you can’t come up with the money by then, well I don’t know what to tell ya. And if you bought the tick’s already and yet you can’t come up with the $100.00 for the room, talk to Rob, since to me, I don’t know what I’ll do about it (assuming you’re going to pay me, I won’t say that I will, but I might, spot you, BUT!! I’m throwing shit up in the air atm and I am not sure I’ll do this). To avoid such things, what we all can do is this, come up with the $100.00 before the day we leave and we’ll all be fine and dandy. Cool??

Again, nice job to all the Reno Crew that made it to SVGL this weekend and for sure, we’ll be rep’in our city in Evo :).

Good stuff Reno crew. :slight_smile:

Well I just got word that I might be getting the week off in about two weeks and I’ll let ya guys know if it happens. When it does happen I plan to head back up to Reno again between around August 13th-19th.

Great Job guys…

Chris 3rd … too good…
Paul … sux u had to play Chris… but at least u broke top 10
Nick… great job at SC2 … 2nd too good… good job at GGXX
JC great job at GGXX

suxed that me and JP couldnt make it… my car is kinda banged up… oh well… at least everyone inside is ok… and are in good health… my car is gonna need some repairs to it… but nothing my insurance cant handle…

hopefully we can view the tapes sometime next week after my parents leave town.

as for Evo… Room + tax is about $110 per person… u can pay me any time after next saturday but before Wed of that following week… cause it gives me one day to deposit the money into my account.

If u cannot make that payment to stay in my room… u gotta give me a good reason why and how u plan on paying me back… I’m very very short on funds now especially after what happened this past weekend… i might not be able to cover for u… so if u can have one of the other eight players spot ya… it’d be aight.

DEFINATE PRACTICE SESSIONS after my parents leave… EVERY NIGHT!!! until I feel tired or eveyrone leaves my place…

I think we should have a $1 entry fee next Sat. for GGXX - winner takes all… makes it more interesting what people will do not to get elim and to get some money :cool:

aight…

LATES,

ROB_UNR

Well, assuming they leave after what happened :(. But i’m all up for it, you know me.

JP

Add Mvc2 and Cvs2 for 8/2… im there! Oh yeh, make it $1 entry at least.

GJ at SVGL this week…it’s always good to get out of town and practice against some new characters…for SC2 it’s great since NO ONE plays in Reno any more :frowning: Oh well…like someone said before “Reno is a GGXX town now.” I’m glad I got to play against a decent Maxi and a really good Raph (if there truly is such a thing) :depress:

Paul, Chris and JC…I though you guys might be interested in seeing this link. Everyone else that hasn’t heard or can’t believe the car accident scene that we saw on the way home (I was sleeping til Chris was all like “SOMEBODY DIED BECAUSE OF THAT!”) should check it out, too. This isn’t the same accident, but it’s a pretty good approximation…

I don’t check the boards very often, Paul…but do you think you could give me a call when you are inviting people over…I can almost always stop by in the evenings and I’m always down to get some practice and get out of the house…I don’t want to lose my momentum before evo :slight_smile:

Man…that accident was messed up…:wasted:

Laterz!!!

We dont’ know if the sticks for CvS2 is working anyway :(. I think Marvel’s leaning that way now too. So we’re not sure about holding that one up. But we’ll see. Assuming people are down to lossing 2 dollars per tourney ($1.00 entry, $1.00 tokens assuming you get 2-0’d every match the entire tourney, $1.50 if you don’t). But I’d be happy to have a CvS2 tourney. We haven’t had one, or even joined one in months (my last tourney was in SVGL 6/21/03) so I’d be happy to be playing in one really since Evo’s almost here. Well anyway, back to work for me. Latez!!!

P.S. How ironic after what happened to us driving to SVGL, we ended up watching Bad Boys II and just watched car wrecks left to right. Weird feeling after comming out of the theaters really :bluu: . Btw, the movie rocks, it’s just that I was more into thinking about Rob’s car than anything else that day.

JP

Lol, Nick you found a picture that tried to sum up what we saw but fell short, I mean this car became part of that pole, it became one with the pole. Strange that you didn’t know that we were getting to together at Paul’s because he told me that he called you and that you were coming over and I wondered what happened to you :rolleyes: I guess that’s shady Paul for you :stuck_out_tongue:
Well we should get together at Rob’s this week probably on or after Tuesday, that’s when his parents leave and we’re invited over for all the practice we can get. I have high hopes for Reno at Evo, I’m just aiming to send someone home thinking about how Potemkin slammed there ass into the ground :evil:
Later

Hehehe your Potemkin will no doubt do very well in Evolution. It’s about as dangerous when I played against it for the first time. :smiley:

Anyways I still wasn’t able to get some days off for Evo so I’m pretty much out on this one again. I’m trying to see if I can make it to the next N-Cube tournament so I’m going to attempt to save up on money and I have a good chance of getting the days off for November.

Well I had talked to Paul earlier in the day and he wasn’t sure if anyone was coming over so I said either to call me or I’d try to call him…spaghetti sounded good…

That accident photo not accurate enough? Try the attached picture…maybe this is a closer approximation… :stuck_out_tongue:

Spaghetti?!?!?!?

Again, I say!

new testa vid is fixed guys and still very impressive…personally i have to go clean my pants now…:confused: check it out on gcc
