About time.... (Reno thread)

DAMMMMmmmmmmmn…

Someone got OWNED!!!

heheh

:smiley: :cool:

lates,

ROB_UNR

DAMN… $625 for a game… GEEZ here I am thinking Im a loan swindler… hehe:eek: :confused:

Ah yes, I see the error of Mr. Hawking’s ways…I will repremand him immediatly…that’s the last time I rely on a PHYSISIST.

Nevertheless, all of that is fine and well, but Nick, were you talking about US dollars? Because when I’m purchasing games I deal only in the Guyanese dollar…often when I’m down in South America, I’ll spend a lot of time buying games in Guyana…I’m just so used to the generous exchange rate…if you want, I can go to the bank and convert that $625 Guyana to $3.50 US…I mean, I’m a reasonable man…I understand if you want to find a middle ground between the $25 US you wanted and the $625 Guyanese dollars I was willing to part with…

Honestly…like I’d let you guys gang up on me like that…you should all be ashamed…Septuple 360 Guyanese Exchange Rate Counter-Super!

And Gary…feel free to check the conversion rate with U.S. Bank or Wells Fargo, I’m sure they’d be glad to assist you…

And for the rest of you…the word is…
PWNED

?

Since when did this become a math forum?

Oh man, I’m sure not looking foward to taking math next semester. I’m going to have some major tutoring time. All that math stuff Nick and Gary did is all greek to me. Maybe I should’ve pay attention in Geometry and second year Algebra.

I am expecting $625 this weekend, or I will get mad and do something crazy. Like beat you in CvS2.

AGAIN.

And I thought you were now known as “Kuya Nick” so that is obviously refering to the “Filipino” culture, thus meaning you would have to convert the $625 in THAT culture.

And you be straight up trippin’.

JP, Andrei…are you gonna take that?

He’s talkin’ up a crazy mad shit storm…beating ME at CvS2? I must have been sleep walking with a P-groove Dan…

$625.00x55.45 pesos=you do it since I’m too tired. As for his comment about “Filipinos” shrug if you want me to get insulted you have to say worse things to me than just that.

Paul:October 29th, 2003. End of story. I’ll pwn you in that game so don’t even try. It plays the same way as EQ. Will you have enough patience to learn such a game? Btw JC if you say you played EQ too, no twinks this time, so no easy going and power leveling.

Nick: yea i’m done with it, it’s over at Rob’s house since I brought it the same time I brought the #reload.

Go Michigan for winning, damn Tampa Bay for lossing :(. And the Oakland Raiders still suck so much ass, they dont’ know how to throw :lol: :lol: . So sad.

JP

P.S. PAUL WHERE’S MY AVATAR???

I already figured that $625 Filipino pesos comes out to like $6 bucks…but you’re the loan shark…shouldn’t you know all this by heart :smiley:

I also overheard him saying something impolite about yo’ mama…and that her balot is no good. :wasted:

Me on the other hand…I can’t get enough of it :smiley:

Which brings me to…ANDREI!!! Summer is almost over and we haven’t had a BBQ in forever…

P.S. JP, I made you a temporary AV to hold you over until Paul get’s to work…

Go Dallas Cowboys!!! They won one hella good football game. Raiders will definitely suck this year. I dunno whats up with Tampa. I think Buffalo Bills will win the Superbowl!!!

Thanks for looking out Yacono. I don’t knwo how many times I’ve told Paul to make me one. Oh well. Least this is a temp pic anyway. As for the Bills winning, I highly doubt that. If Ladanian and Brees gets their shit going, it’s hard to stop San Diego. If Holmes gets more runs, their defense holds up, and Green stop throwing INTS, the Chiefs would be hard to stop. If Portis isn’t hurt, and so is Plummer, the Broncos would be a tough team to beat. Now, if Miami lets Williams (Ricky) run like hell, that will open up the field for Fiedler, thus creating more opportunities for Miami to score equalling more wins for them. It’s hard to determine everything this past 2 weeks since the Cowboys beat the Giants with just a field goal (same goes with the Panthers beating my Bucs :frowning: damn it ), and the Texans beating the Dolphins, this would be one hell of a year for football. Oh I forgot to mention, the Raiders…bleh. They need to throw more in order to open up the run, which doesn’t make sense since the rule is, when you run, you open up the air, not the other way around :D. Btw Rob, did you see the game with the Raiders? It was ugly, really, really ugly.

JP

P.S. No Nick, it’s 34,656.25 Pesos. That’s how much $625.00 is in my country and 625.00 pesos is $11.28. As for the BBQ in Andrei’s house, there was one last year?? If so, damn I missed it hehe.

:p. This sucks, I’m bored. And last week was a bust, so I pretty much didn’t enjoy anything, except getting taunted by my sister at home and getting my cousin’s baby girl to tell me to go to sleep (she’s only 1 year and 4 months old and could you believe she’s telling me to go to sleep :D). Anywho, FFXI looks promising, but I wouldn’t go in that game til I hit the Plane of Time in Everquest (:mad: <—Robin).

And oh since I’m really bored at work, take time to answer these questions fer me.

13:Who’s the future of the Reno Crew?

Hehe I’m bored and I wanted to know how everyone feels towards the crew and the 3 people that’s hopefully going to be in the crew. Just bored is all. So Fire away.

4.) Continue playing. When the Davis crew goes back up you guys want to win right? =) Practice always makes perfect =)

8.)I’ll play FFXI, although all the good names are probably taken up by now…(fuckers) so i’ll find what i can, when i can. I’ll play it probably off the start

Coolios, let me know what server and I’ll go there as well :D. Everyone should be in the same server so we can all pwn stuff in it :D.

I wonder…which will be better during its time

FFXI
or
World of Warcraft

I mean WoW will be better, but of course it’ll be at a later time so its unfair to compare the too. But WoW looks nice.

Gaming questions…

1: Do you guys still enjoy playing competitively? If so, what’s the motivation?
I just started, so this is a blast to me. I can’t express how fun it is to watch competetive play first hand. I LOVE watching JP and Chris GGXX matches, and usually Rob and JP CvS2 matches. I just think everything is WAY better here then in the Bemani Community.
2: Was there anything that you guys hated this year?
I really just got into everything this year, but I hate the fact I missed out on Evo.
3: Did you guys enjoy our trip down to Evo this year?
. . .
4: **Should we give up CvS2 or stay playing it? **
I vote keep playing it, because that is the only game I’m going to learn to play, and I need competition!
5: How many people are willing to learn the “Basics” of 2D fighting game?
I am… although I consider my self to know most of it. I just don’t really think about it when playing. XD
6: How many are really willing to learn Guilty Gear XX?
Not me. As much as I love the game, I really just want to focus on the fun, yet old, CvS2.
7: Should we even bother learning Marvel? If so, why?
As much as I hate to say it: Marvel is obviously most popular, so I think you should consider learning it. It really is entertaining at high levels.
8: How many people are willing to play Final Fantasy XI and when are you guys going to start?
Already tried it out, it’s a fucking blast. It makes me want to get into MMORPG’s again.
9: Disgaea, how many are going to play that game? And if you are, what are the thoughts on it?
Never heard.
10: SvC wll no longer be SNK vs Capcom, it’s decided, its going to be Sammy vs Capcom :D. How do you guys feel about this?
Fine by me. SvC is really bad. Really really bad.
11: Isuka, good game or bad game?
Good game.
12: KoF, in general, what do you guys think about this game and state it why :D?
I’m a HUGE fan of KoF, and I <3 May Lee.

1: What do you guys think about Robin? His Attitude, and his competiveness?
Good guy. Eddie is scary, and so is Rob.
2: Me, what do you guys think of me? And what are your guys’s thoughts about me?
I consider you and Chris to be the best GGXX players, and your a great guy.
3: **Is Paul crazy? Do you guys think he is, and if so, why? And how do you guys feel about how he acts? **
Definetly not crazy, just a little screwy. Bitches too much about Potyo.
4: **What about JC? His attitude, skill and his hair? **
Good guy, and I like the fact he is one of the few that doesn’t blame the joystick (most of the time) for his losses. He just walks away.
5: About Andrei? How’s his Johnny and his overall skill towards SC2?
My only real scare in SC2 (when I played) and still is to this day. Good guy.
6: About Nick Y? His attitude?
He owes me $625 in US cash, and until then, I say we pull a Ricky fucking Ortiz on his ass and ban him from every tournament until then.
7: About the Campbell Bro’s? About Chris, and About Nick Campbell?
Nick Campbell likes Dragon Ash, and anyone who likes Dragon Ash is cool in my book. Nicole is super nice, too. Chris is quiet to me usually, but I absolutely think he is the best GGXX player.
8: **About Gary? His skillz and knowledge of 3d games? **
I used to see him play Raphael in the arcades, so I just called him that. One of the best, for sures.
9: **About Suttie? His Ivy, and the way he plays (everything in General)? **
Coolest guy since ever. I seriously think this guy is loved by all. <3
10: About Vinh?
Good SC2 player, marginal GGXX player… Mashes too much, good friend of mine.
11: **About Cameron? **
Cameron has a real passion for fighting games, and it shows. If he works hard enough, he could be top tier lololololololol.
12: **What’s the future for the Reno Crew? **
I think if we all just focus on ONE game, whether is be GGXX, CvS2 or ST (SC2 = No) then we can be one of the greats. We have the potential, we just need to show the compassion other teams have. We are getting new people everyday!
13: Who’s the future of the Reno Crew?
It starts with a “Suttie” and ends with a “lololzozlolol” :stuck_out_tongue:

jp you must REALLY think im a scrub at MMOs huh to say that i cant get twinked eh? Ive been playing MMO’s for 7 years ever since UO came out dude…i know what im doing maybe more so than you. just clearing that up. but yeah i wanna play FFXI but i dont know if ill have the cash…btw whatday does it come out?

Gaming questions

  1. No, because I can not compete with you guys.
  2. I hated getting rid of Street Fighter Alpha 3 from the Atlantis. And that nobody from the Reno crew really played it that much.
  3. I dunno, didn’t go.
  4. We should still play it, to at least get me better.
  5. I’m willing to learn the basics of 2d fighting games.
  6. I’m willing to learn GGXX more.
  7. Nobody really plays Marvel anymore, but hey, we should start playing anyway, sometimes it’s a good idea to take a break from other fighting games.
  8. I have to get broadband first before I get that.
  9. A lot of people will play that game. It’s Final Fantasy, people will buy anything Final Fantasy.
  10. SvC being Sammy VS. Capcom is cool. SNK vs. Capcom isn’t that good from what I’ve played.
  11. I dunno, never got a chance to play it.
  12. KoF is cool, but not that many play that besides the hardcore fighting gamers, so I’m more of a street fighter bum.

General Questions

  1. Rob’s attitude is cool, he proved to me that he is an ultimate fighting game jockey.
  2. You seem to be into other stuff besides fighting games which is cool. I think you should buy a GBA SP though, because making up all these questions, you must be really bored.
  3. Paul crazy? No, I don’t think he’s crazy.
  4. JC attitude and skill surpassed mine, but he needs to hire a new hair stylist. I can tell you don’t like your hair either because you always wear a beanie.
  5. I dunno about Andrei’s Johnny, but his overall skill in SC2 is quite impressive. We were playing SC2 Saturday night, his mitsu angaist my taki, and we were having back to back wins on each other, but he took the last win, so he’s more superior then me, plus he knows how to use more characters.
  6. Nick Y is second best at SC2. He wants people to beat him at SC2 so he can leave Atlantis earlier.
  7. The Campbell brothers are cool. Chris showed me that 2d gamers can easily master SC2 in a short period of time.
  8. Gary is improving every week at SC2. Yet I still have an edge over him. He can hella kick my ass in Tekken, and he since I don’t play VF4 Evo that much, he can kick my ass in that game too.
  9. Nick Jr. Ivy is overpowering. Oh well, I think I’m the last one to beat your Ivy in casual play. Of course he is number 1 Reno. Though now he hates the game that he’s the best at.
  10. Vinh is only good at SC2, sort of good in Tekken 4, and sux at every other fighting game. Since fighting games are his 4th priority in life, it will take him a very very very very long time to achieve the level of the top 2d fighters in Reno.
  11. Cameron improvement in both SC2 and GGXX has shown. He will soon be feared by all fighting gamers.
  12. The future of the Reno Crew, umm? Who knows, lets go see a tarot card reader.
  13. I think the future is that one filopino kid (I think he’s filopino) and he comes in regularly to play SC2 and GGXX. I seen him at Atlantis during the daytime, he dominates everybody that challenges him, and I think he’s only like 12 or 13. I still can beat him at both, but the stuff he can do is pretty impressive, I couldn’t do none of the stuff that he was doing when I was his age. Then theres that little chubby asian kid with glasses. He’s probably like 7 or 8, but all he does is button mash, and I haven’t seen him in a while.

Why am I answering all these questions? Oh yeah, I’m pretending to do homework so my Mom won’t tell me to do chores.

End of Oct/Early Nov for PC I think 2004 for PS2…yeah that sounds wrong…but that’s actually what’s happening

Gaming questions…
**1: Do you guys still enjoy playing competitively? If so, what’s the motivation?
No. I almost never have fun and I’m almost always pissed off about losing. I’ve tried to quit because I tend to have a bad attitude about it. Having more fun just lately as I’ve figured out SC2 a little bit better, but still think it’s a kinda dumb game.

**2:Was there anything that you guys hated this year?
My work.

**3: Did you guys enjoy our trip down to Evo this year?
N/A

**4:Should we give up CvS2 or stay playing it?
Stay playing it.

**5:How many people are willing to learn the “Basics” of 2D fighting game?
4. I have no idea how to get started in 2D games, but I really should incase 2D games don’t have a lot of the stuff that bugs me in 3D games.

**6:How many are really willing to learn Guilty Gear XX?
I kind of want to, but realisticly I doubt I’ll be willing to put the work in. I pretty much never play fighting games at home, or read about strat anymore. Plus knowing that there is a more updated console version will annoy me. JC once told me it was a really good game and then said there were 90% combos in the same breath. That didn’t make any sense to me.

**7:Should we even bother learning Marvel? If so, why?
No. Nobody plays. Is Circus Circus still the best place for MVC2 in Reno?

**8:How many people are willing to play Final Fantasy XI and when are you guys going to start?
No. Is that an online PS2 game? ptthhhtt. XBox Live only. Crimson Skies will probably be the next XBox Live game I’ll get.

**9: Disgaea, how many are going to play that game? And if you are, what are the thoughts on it?
I’m interested in it. I want to get more into this type of game. I’m having so much fun with Advance Wars 2 right now. (Rob is a sucker for not setting up Advance Wars on his cpu yet.) But I super love my GBA SP right now, so I might just get Final Fantasy Tactics Advance instead.

**10:SvC wll no longer be SNK vs Capcom, it’s decided, its going to be Sammy vs Capcom :D. How do you guys feel about this?
I need to write down the code and play that game at least once because I gotta check out Mars People.

**11:Isuka, good game or bad game?
Never heard of it.

**12:KoF, in general, what do you guys think about this game and state it why :D?
If the is no arcade machine for it then screw it. You can’t have a console only scene. Just like VF4 EVO I think if we had a machine, people would get into it, but console only is suck. I think KoF2002 just came out for Dreamcast… do you want me to try and download that for you?

Ok General questions about everybody.

**1:What do you guys think about Robin? His Attitude, and his competiveness?
The one time when we were playing 4-player Virtua Tennis. Holy Crap. Slow Down. Biggest Ego ever after that.

**2:Me, what do you guys think of me? And what are your guys’s thoughts about me?
You beat me at Tekken last time we played.

**3:Is Paul crazy? Do you guys think he is, and if so, why? And how do you guys feel about how he acts?
I dunno.

**4:What about JC? His attitude, skill and his hair?
There was one guy who kinda looked like JC, but with like a goth freak kind of hairstyle. It freaked me out.

**5:About Andrei? How’s his Johnny and his overall skill towards SC2?
Hope he doesn’t crash and hurt himself.

**6:About Nick Y? His attitude?
Seems kicked back and then will be all pissed all of a sudden.

**7:About the Campbell Bro’s? About Chris, and About Nick Campbell?
Dunno.

**8:About Gary? His skillz and knowledge of 3d games?
I’m missing the point somehow, because I’ve pretty consistently been the worst in town at the games that I play even though I know a lot of strat trivia about them.

**9:About Suttie? His Ivy, and the way he plays (everything in General)?
His Ivy is so annoying to play against. But then he was switching to Taki who is like tied with Ivy on my most hated SC Char list. And nobody is even really good at whoring out Taki’s mix ups yet.

**10:About Vinh?
His button hitting style is super annoying.

**11:About Cameron?
Dunno who that is.

**12:What’s the future for the Reno Crew?
I don’t really care about the national scene that much. It seems much less important to me than the local scene. You travel for a tournament like 4 times a year maybe. You play localy like 90 times a year or so. So what games our arcades have and our town has comp in is more important to me than what might be the hot game online.
It’s interesting to see how much momentum this thread has gotten, because for such a long time Reno had no presence on the internet at all. I like this thread.
Fighting games are kind of a crappy habit, because so much of the experience depends on shit you can’t control (arcades getting games, good controls) and it tends to bring out negative parts of peoples personalities.

**13:Who’s the future of the Reno Crew?
Angry guy who says you have no gf. He really makes an impression on people.

Uhm, I like to think of my Ivy as more of a “refined” character, instead of “annoying”. After all, for the people I do actually beat, if I really am doing “the same shit over and over” then why are you still getting caught in it?

From what I notice: there are ALOT less Cables in the MvC2 community. People learned how to get around it, so people need to learn how to beat a long range character, such as Ivy. Overpowering? No. Refined? Yes. You have to realize while Nick Y. was learning like 2 or 3 characters at one time, I stuck with Ivy for close to a year. She is the only character I EVER played until a few weeks back, when I spent a little time with Taki.

Then I just said fuck it.
