I have a cold, and my throat was really hurting. Tonight I tried to talk as loud as I could, but I just ended up hurting it more. ;_; Anyway, see you all at the tournament.
Ah crap that sounds like the exact same thing that I caught during workā¦Damn smoke in the Indian Casino does not help me either. :bluu:
Also got Shikiās ending after beating Goddess Athena on SvC. Her ending was nice and very similar to the Samurai Spirits storyline. Iām trying to get Violent Kenās ending yet she wiped me out on the last round of my feeble counter attempts. Damn her long invincibility frames.
Iām sticking with this avatar from now on. Someday Playmore might add Mikoto (Shikiās daughter) in either Samurai Spirits Zero or possibly SvC2 hopefully.
Isnāt Shikiās daughter dead? Thatās why Shikiās all deperesed and shit?r?? Ahh damn SNK and theyāre confusing storylines (even though they have one, theyāre still confusing). Anyway Paul really didnāt look like he had a cold cause heās still loud as ever. Except he ainā talking that much though. Anyway, tonight $1.00 Margarittas(sp?)ā¦ and oh the tourney too :).

:o I have a request for everyone whoāll be at the tournament before meā¦
Iām gonna run GGXX, and I have all the tournament brackets + sign-up sheets already made, so you donāt have to do anything but write down some names and follow the paths. But I canāt run 4 tournaments at the same time. Iām hoping to do what we did last time (i.e.: Chris running CvS2, JC running MvC2, Nick Sr running SC2, me running GGXX)ā¦
Also, if you guys could PLEASE ask Tony / whoever is on shift to put the games on tournament mode before I get there? So we can just get it started the moment I show up with the stuff? That way, we could all be done by around 12!
Thanks in advance.
I am posting to tell all the Reno peepsā¦that Hiro will be there around 9:30 - 9:45ā¦He will be entering MvC2 and CvS2ā¦make sure you sign him upā¦Thanksā¦Peace!!!
-B.:cool:
P.S- Hiro is on the road and needed me to post thisā¦thanks
Coool. Iāll try to have everything all fixed up for MvC2 and CvS2.
Hopefuly cvs2 will hold up, sucked that we finally had everything fixed and then 2nd player side randomly wonāt go left, as far as Marvel I donāt play that game but I hope it works for everyone that does. I can run cvs2 again no problem, Josh āwhen Iām off that O.E.ā Ballew and Torrey āPull-a-Kobeā Eldridge will show and enter for GGX2 and cvs2, I should show up around 9 or so.
Actually itās the other way around. Mikoto is still alive with Haohmaru but both Shiki and Asura died awhile back. Samurai Spirits Warriors of the Rage was a pretty crappy fighting game however storyline wise Mikoto considers Haohmaru an uncle since Haohmaru took care of Mikoto after Shiki died.
Playmore will no doubt bring Mikoto back in another 2-D fighting game aka either Samurai Spirits or SvC2.
Me
Soā¦anywayz this is me Cameron. I played axl and maxi/charade =) Sorry i was being a dick but me=no sleep for what is now the 5th day= i go crazy. I would like to learn to play a better axl, and i want to meet you allā¦ive played against you, you have all whoppedmy ass at one point in time yet i dont know you guys. Other than paul, paul=teh cool or something like that. But yah im always on aim:DDRBPC and paul i will be sure to call sometime. I should probably get this game for home. So who ended up winning al the tournyās?
Hey JP, sorry for walking out in a fucking puff like that i was just fucking pissed that when i finally had the perfect time to use the counter testa walked back then just walked forward into your comboā¦anyways GG fo sho.
anyways im off to sleepā¦
PS. DIE FAUST DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ( i finally beat faust)
Same shit as always bro. Gotta keep your head in the game. Regardless of what the fuck is happening. I donāt know how I got a streak going on that side that you were on, but havenāt we told you, if you feel that the joystick aināt working, you either walk away from the machine or you switch sides? Dude you gotta be more than just having to come up with excuses or shit like that. For the whole entire time that we have held a tourney, you always come up with stuff. I donāt know, you played on that same side againts Robin and you beat him, and yet I didnāt hear any complaints from you. Come up with something new dude, cause this shits getting old.
JP
Sorry guys for leaving and forfitting my gamesā¦
I wasnt initially planning on attending last nite cause i was really tiredā¦ I played horrible all night longā¦
I guess since Evo is overā¦ the video game side of my mind has gone casual instead of tourneyā¦
If we do this again next weekā¦ I will run the tourneyā¦ if u guys really want me toā¦
BPC - dood your Axl is amazing since the last time I saw itā¦ u gave me a run for my moneyā¦ I was worried at some pointā¦ call Paulā¦ any players whose interested in playing a game seriously is always more than welcome to come over and playā¦ I like teaching people and having the community growā¦ I cant imagine when u start to play Axl real goodā¦ I might be Reno #6 from then onā¦ ouchā¦ reality hurtsā¦ hehe
Hiroā¦ where were uā¦ we waited as long as we couldā¦ I hope u didnt go to Circus Circus since there hasnt been a tourney there since before Evo 2k2ā¦ Hopefully next time my friendā¦
Dark_Hayato tough break manā¦ really suxā¦ just keep your head up highā¦ if u mess up just move onā¦ dont let one mistake get to uā¦ thats what being a top player is all aboutā¦ being consistant but also covering up your mistake so your opponent doesnt realize u made oneā¦
JP- DAMNā¦ a little harsh on JCā¦ geezeā¦ dood its all goodā¦ u of all people should know what JC is going throughā¦ Ive been at that stage beforeā¦ where u know what to doā¦ u want to do itā¦ and it doesnt come outā¦ its sux yeaā¦ its an excuse yeaā¦ but itāll passā¦ just be more supportive regardless how often he says itā¦ JC will definately be a top player in Renoā¦ u gotta encourage these playersā¦ I told u beforeā¦ I cant be teaching everyoneā¦ u have to help me alsoā¦ u know what i know pretty muchā¦ u have the capabilities to teach the future of Reno gamersā¦ but u gotta keep your coolā¦ as I did for uā¦ (ok maybe not with u in cvs1 but u wanted to be at National level in 2 monthsā¦ I was cool with u in CvS2)
I heard the resultsā¦ sux that tourney couldnt end in timeā¦
so I propose that SC2 GGXX CvS2 and MvC2 start between 8:00 to 8:30pmā¦ if u plan on entering and u wont make it until after the tourney startsā¦ then let me knowā¦ iāll sign u upā¦ and go as far as i can w/o uā¦ and when u show up u just gotta catch upā¦ I think thats fair and that allows the tourney to end quickerā¦
Give me feedbacksā¦

It was a fun tourney last night, it was cool to see Hanh again but to bad no Vin( I believe thatās how you spell it?) GGās to JP in cvs2 and GGX2, the stick stuck a few times on me but I donāt think it affected the results and I didnāt want to be a bitch and switch sides so I just rolled with it, missed my Ryu CC and ended with a jumping jab then you got me with a roll super grab, damn Yamaās quick roll tried to punish with c.strong but I was to late. Worked my way to the finals and wanted a shot again but I understand that best of 7 in that game takes a while, we could have been there till 3 in the morning and we still had GGX2 to go. GGās to everyone I played and didnāt play, JC keep ya head up man, human error does occur you saw me miss my Ryu CC with a jumping jab, that means I got to anxious to finish and over did the motion, stuff like that happens under pressure donāt worry about it. I canāt wait till next tourney and you guys might think this is weird for me but I actually like SC2 now(well not the way Nick Sr. and Nick Jr. played :mad: ) we have a tourney scene for it and I might as well play, Iāll always scrub out in marvel but SC2 felt new and fresh I just need to learn a character and stop my throwing and mashing ways. Iāll call you guys this week for some comp. Later
Well sorry for saying how I truly felt what happened after he walked off last night. I donāt appreciate people doing that to either me nor to anyone else. Can I stop it? No, of course not. Itās all in us. But how he walked off yesterday was just no better than what he has done in the past. Btw, I took in more harsher shit than this. Rob, you werenāt any nicer in CvS2 either, except you stopped yelling at me for missing stuff, but I think I do miss that though. But dude what I said is true. Iām sorry JC if you take it the wrong way. If you look at it, you couldāve done better. But you were still bitching about what you couldāve done before we even started the match. After you beat Paul you were still pissed off about shit you couldāve done. DUDE, you gotta learn to let shit go. Remember when you dashed back and Paul air-threw you? What happened there? Did you try and dash forward? Air-throw is there to stop people from jumpin/air-dashing. You know that, so whatās your complain on that one? That Air dust didnāt work? Iām sorry Robin, you get tired of the same excuse that you hear every single time.
Rob you get tired of me telling you what i was trying to do and you telling me what i was suppose to do (yet you give me this excuse where, if your up there you canāt really do anything cause of the heat of the moment and yet how come that doesnāt work for me? ). If you think Iām comming down on him, then Iām sorry. I donāt know any other way of telling him to make him realize this small mistake. Something he, Paul, and what seems that everyone (yes including me at times, and you too Robin) to keep our heads in the game regardless of what the hell is happening. If we all want to get better this one has to be worked on, and it starts now.
JP
P.S. JC IM me foo, I gotta talk to you.

Great job last night everyone. ;; JC beat me, and Iām all sad over that. .. Stupid terftdament. Oh well, good games.
Cameron: Your Axl rocked! Gimme a call, so I can show you match videos and you can take it to the next level.
Suttie!: You left your cellphone in my car. Call me on my cellphone so we can arrange for sometime for you to pick it up.
Everyone else: I was thinking of possibly running the tournaments on a tuesday / thursday night? Because almost all of Reno-crew is off on those days, and we could split up the tournaments to different daysā¦ like GGXX is on this day, and this other tournamentās on this day. What do you all think?
Yeah uhhā¦ I hella need my phone back. =| If we can arrange to get that back, then thats awesome.
And uhhā¦ last night was the worst tournament ever. Fuck SC2.
Nick: worst tourney ever?!?! how so???:bluu:
JP: Dood Im not tryin to come down on u or anyone elseā¦ People make mistakesā¦ thats human natureā¦ what makes a good player great is how he can cover those mistakes up and make it look as if it was his intentions all alongā¦ Im not saying that Im a master at this myselfā¦ I do get frustrated but thats because I put myself at such a high standard above everyone elseā¦ I have toā¦ thats how I get betterā¦ thats not to say that everyone else needs to do the sameā¦
Im not condoning what JC didā¦ but I have seen u walk away pissed off beforeā¦ so ure equaly guilty of that in the pastā¦ and so have Iā¦ and Im sure everyone elseā¦ Its all goodā¦ the reason we do this is because we have pride on what we doā¦ when I lose to something I know I shouldnt haveā¦ of course I get upset at myselfā¦ Im better than thatā¦ I know the counter or I know I could have blocked an attackā¦ but I didnt and thats why I get upsetā¦ thats naturalā¦
Welcome to the world of competitve gamingā¦ something Ive been a part of for TOO LONG
The only thing I can say is practice thats when its comes into playā¦ to be sharp and to continue to play at a level of competitivnessā¦
;_; What does anyone say about my weekday tournament idea?
NICK: When can you come meet me at the arcade this week?
i say we keep it on fridays and saturdays but hey thats just me
The reasons I think a weekday tournament would be better:
1: If we split up the tournament dates, we wonāt have to deal with everyone playing another game when theyāre up on this or that game. If we run as few as 2 a night, it will speed up the overall tournament times.
2: Some people such as myself cannot make it to tournaments before 10pm on Saturday/Fridayāsā¦ Which ends up the finals being snooze-fest '03 by the time they actually come around.
3: 5 hour tournaments? I mean, cāmon! They should last 2 hours max!
Alsoā¦ We should have a day to get together and play casually. Right now, we just have tournaments on Saturday nights. If we ran tournaments on a weekday, itād be a nice chilly saturday.
^^; Well, post your thoughts.
