shit id fucked up and sean should have called that match. any body else with respect would have.
You just play on. Not just pause out of nowhere. And ruin all momentum. Sean is my boy, but he fucked up big time. Then the decision to allow the replay made the situation worse.
Then again, it isn’t a tourney without drama
I wanted to see some violence!
Smoothviper vs noel brown part 2?
Hahaha
IT’S MAHVEL BABY.
Dan, I understand why your were upset, I would be too.
Ok so about what happened in my match. I called my assist, saw it was wrong and thought, wait, that’s not the assist I use and paused it, I wasn’t even looking at what happened after that point so I think that’s why I got hit. I didn’t realize I was being hit when I paused it and that made it worse. This was in the first 10 seconds of the match. What if I was full screen away and this happened and was not punished? Would people still make this big a deal about it?
Also, as far as I know no rules had been posted anywhere about pausing. It’s one of those things that’s never officially declared but most people know that it just shouldn’t happen. So going by that, Robb is TO and it’s his decision. He acknowledged that I should have been more careful and told me that if it happens again to me or anyone then the match would be thrown. He gives me another chance and we restart the match. I won. To be more fair, the entire set was replayed. If that threw off Dan’s mindset then all I can say is I’m sorry. I replayed the set with no qualms, Rob made the decision and I respected it. I was nervous to fight to Dan, that had just as much potential to throw off my mindset as it did his. Dan is known to be a good player, but I went to that tournament with a mindset that I would play my hardest no matter what.
I felt bad that it happened. It wasn’t my intention going into the match with wrong assist for an escape plan if I lose or something stupid and absurd like that. I’m grateful that Rob allowed me to replay the match. A lot of people are trying to take away my win, whatever, haters. That’s all I have to say to you guys. No “official” rules were broken and the problem was addressed and fixed at a $1 ranbat instead of something major.
Anyways, once again Dan I’m sorry that that happened and hopefully next time we play you can play at your best.
Otherwise, good games to everyone I played. I’ve been getting a lot of compliment’s on my game play recently and I just wanted to say that I appreciated that. I’ve put a lot of work into my team so it’s cool to see some of that effort be recognized. I saw a few players there that were doing some pretty cool things so I learned some stuff today.
yo mike im sorry i got mad at u… ive been going thru alot of personal stuff in my life that has really talking a toll on me… Plus ever since that accident with cory it has mentaly and physcially messed me up i get mad and snap very easily alot… like any little thing sets me off easily…
mike i thought u meant after me and shawn replayed cause after that i shook his hand and didnt say anything …
scott- i was mentaly done after that, i was dropping easy wolv combos left and right. and running into alot of stuff that would be easy to avoid… even when i calm down i was thinking too much about it…
sean its fine shit happen we replayed u won… mentaly beat my self up about thats my fault i had a hard time letting go… good job… i make sure too come back stronger, gonna find a new team…
Dan you always got issues, your problem is you gotta drop corey as a friend for getting you into that crash really!
Sean your team is fucking wack, but props on your wins dude, cheating moth#$%+@!>^
sean, hey dude i know you didnt do any of it intentionally. im sure in the future tho, youll be paying extra close attention to your selection lol
Maaaaaaaaaan can’t wait to upload that one specially. Was maaaaaad hype
I’ll be more then happy to man the stream for future events. Just to give you a break. 
Big Shout out to Marticio for helping me with the recording today. You did well buddy and hell yeah you r in the Haz-Mat team bro 
I need a shirt to make it official lol
What happened between Sean and Dan kind of sucks, but this stuff happens from time to time. However, I don’t think anything should be taken away from Sean. The count was 1-1 when the incident happened, so it’s not like Dan had a guaranteed win either way. They’re both very good players, and this was only the first ranbat of the season.
Sean is only 4 points over Dan, so Dan has plenty of time to run it back and still place first for the season, taking home the money.
We had 46 entries today, and with MK being in the mix for the next session (still debating between a tournament or just casuals), I think we’ll retain many of those players and possibly get even more.
no doubt. shit happens, lessons to be learned.
as for mk9. man, im really on the fence about this game. the buffer/controls system is the weirdest shit i have ever encountered, and it makes absolutely no sense to me on why it is the way it is. the buffer is so crazy that the wrong specials will come out. for instance, with ermac. his teleport punch is down,back+4 which can be done on ground or in air. he also has a fireball move that can be done with down,back+2. this is where the amazingly retarded buffer system comes into play. sometimes if i want to juggle with a j.2 into d,b+4(teleport punch), the game will think i hit 2 instead, and will do the air fireball. basically whatever the last normal that was used, and you cancel this move into a special, it will buffer that button in that you used for the normal, rather than the button you actually pressed for the special move. it doesnt do this all the time. but it happens often and it is so odd that its becoming really bothersome. i guess ill see how it plays out.
by the way i use the tekken connotation for the 4 attack buttons with the default layout
1 2
3 4
1 = front punch
2 = back punch
3 = front kick
4 = back kick
the fact that this game also has stance switch makes absolutely no sense. it would only make sense if this game was truly 3d. production/idea-wise, this game has lots of cool features and stuff. the gameplay, im just on the fence about atm
Boooooooooo! Dan should have been awarded that game and pick it up from there! Only one person picked the wrong team set up or whatever it was…and that was Sean. You asked would it have been as big of a deal if your buttons were wrong full screen away…NO. Because nothing would have been lost (positioning, health ect…). It was bad timing. So bad that were it a “real” tourny, it woulda been a forfeited game. Period.
BOOOOOOOOOO!
Lol. Dah well shit does happen, Im sure Sean didnt do it on purpose, but it sucks Dan got the short end of the stick on that one. Whether they replayed it or not.
BOOOOOOOOOO!
Oh yeh, congrats Sean. You play the game well, not takin anything away from you, but dont try to justify it w/ “no official rules were broken”. The “official rules” dont say anything about me shoulder checkin you while youre in the middle of a combo does it? See what I mean. Not a good look.
I was reading about that too; basically negative edge but the game is way too lax with it. The game looks to be a sped-up version of the 3D MK games, but on a 2D plane, with some UMK3 and even a dash of MK4 thrown in. It also appears that there is somewhat of a high-mid-low game ala VF. The new features are interesting too; watching the vids on the SRK front page and watching Kabal’s EX-spin dash go through projectiles is nasty, and it only uses 1/3 of a bar! There’s going to be some ugly shit in this game, I just feel it.
I don’t like that default control layout btw; I’m too stuck in my old ways with the punches on the left and kicks on the right. I’m sure they have that as one of the control options, tho.

I am going to double post this stuff; no sense in making separate posts…

As for the Pause debacle today… the issue has already be discussed and dealt with so I am not going to get into the “whys” of it. The official action on ANY pause (including wrong assists, ultras, colors, your mom calling saying that your dad is in the hospital because he pointed at Mike Tyson, called him a beautch and, subsequently, had his face beat in) going Forward (see the funny there?) will score you an immediate round loss.
This was a great opportunity to address a rarely seen issue (wrong assist type, mid-game) and, frankly, I am glad we encountered it here and put it to bed. We will certainly put a emphasis on addressing this and other assumed rulesets so that everyone is on the same page or, at least, has the opportunity to review the “full” rules.
I think everyone of you would balk if it was YOUR team playing with the wrong assist (especially if it might have been costing you the fight - not saying that it was the case here but who knows how it would/could/maybe made a difference or not… which is the point) and sure, right now you will be like “NO, I would just play with it” but I bet there would have been more than a few of you in the same boat as Sean.
Anyways, the deal is done and we have set a definite rule/stance on the subject so, in 10 years when we see this issue come up again, we will be ready to deal with it. Ha.
That boo boo aside - I was really impressed to see the number of players come out, including two “new guys” up in Top 4. Sure, a bunch of our regulars did not make it out but even those new guys had to plow through people.
Thanks
Hey, thanks to everyone who came out today for todays ranbat. I enjoyed seeing some new faces and some old. Let’s do it again in 2 weeks, hopfully we’ll see more of you guys.
