who wants to pitch in 20 bucks and gamble it on red/black on the roulette table? i wanna see if we can gather $300 and turn it into $1200. which means we would have to win twice.
$300x2 = $600 then $600x2 = $1200
would be fun :stuck_out_tongue: anybody?

Hello,

Hey guys, this is Neo. I had the pleasure/honor/privilege to play clockwork in that ft15. It was amazing.

Anyways, I just wanted to tell you guys that I met AIR and I wanted to know if he posts on here. That guy IS CRAZY COOL/FUNNY/HYPE.

AAAIIIIIR!!! I was the one next to you when you were coming up on all that ā€œgreenā€ with the time clock and first hits lol.

Air: "why do I play ssf4 when I can just do this!! Itā€™s easier!!!"
Air: "yo I seriously didnā€™t want to attack because I was afraid he was going to do the dance again!!!"
Air: ā€œcan I get sponsored if I make a ā€œmetsu-hadoukenā€ dance?ā€ lol

I usually take note of players that are that hype!!! And Air is definitely one of them! Hope to see him and other canadian players at more USA tourneys.

BTWā€¦ is Canada ready for Maaaarvel 3???

air is from vancouver, you might be able to get in touch with him here : http://shoryuken.com/f248/604-bc-players-thread-77178/index1968.html

nice work on the whole marvel set. looked exhausting.

btw we have a sweet looking marvel tourney coming up in march: http://shoryuken.com/f248/canadacuppresents-marvel-madness-march19-20-calgaryab-%24500-bonuspot-guest-eg_jwong-260284/

edit: 1000th post!

yo!
event hubs just tweeted this link if you havenā€™t seen it:

Akuma & Taskmaster Marvel vs. Capcom 3 themes : News : EventHubs.com

as the link says. pretty sweet tunes!

Every tune in this game is pretty sweet! I love Taskmasterā€™s, and how they did him in general. Weskers theme (Wind of Madness) is still the best though ;). Unless Jill gets her Sad But True themeā€¦ And she better, or there will be so much nerd rage.

Thanks for feeling bad. Mike C doesnā€™t feel bad. Heā€™s just a jerk. :wink:

Seriously though, Iā€™d agree that I wouldnā€™t want anyone pulling punches. Whatā€™s the point of winning then?

edit: caught up on the vega/hawk discussion. jamie, youā€™ll have to show me the tricks you picked up at next tubbyā€™s. cancelling lp into dive is fun but Iā€™m not sure youā€™re going to get much mileage out of itā€¦

not my favorite set of Capcom theme songsā€¦ some of the Capcom character ones are pretty good but I havenā€™t heard a Marvel one I like yet

there are some pretty lame ones for sureā€¦ but a few of them are actually pretty good.
Andrew, you up for some games?

Iā€™m glad Steve says he doesnā€™t hold back,

I never hold back playing ssf4 ever

Sandbagging ftmfl

I frequently hold back playing SSF4, unless itā€™s against someone whoā€™s capable of beating me when I play my best anyway. I guess Iā€™m in the minority, though. :\

Steve youā€™ve always shown great sportsmanship when iā€™ve played against you.
(yeah, i said it, street fighter IS a sport haha)

Iā€™m still at the university, wonā€™t be home for an hour or so :(.

In other news, how can you hate on She-Hulkā€™s, Capā€™s, Phoenixā€™s, Iron Manā€™s and MODOKā€™s themes!? So good. And I agree with not holding back. Iā€™m not great at SF or anything, but it makes you feel like a child if someone holds back against you. Iā€™m guilty of doing it to my friends though.

i never hold back in any of my matches

however when i play casuals
i normally try out strats or combos i am very uncomfortable doing

Hey guys, just a followup to my last post regarding the plexi order.
If you want to order anything with me please let me know by next Wednesday because I plan to place the order on Thursday.
That way I can figure out how much the shipping will be and get the money from you at Tubby that night!
A couple people werenā€™t really sure what the plexi covers were for. Theyā€™re for customizing your fightstick if you want to swap out the stock artwork and put your own artwork on the stick. Thereā€™s a tutorial on how to do this in this forum post: How to : Add Custom Art to your TE fightstick and swap simple options

And hereā€™s a link to the plexi site again if you need it
Welcome to Artā€™s Hobbies

pm me if you want anything :]

oh yea also, I think itā€™s lame when a guy goes easy just because theyā€™re playing a girl!

Nah, I sandbag alot too. Pretty sure Falken does as well and Greg does for sure. Itā€™s not because Iā€™m taking it easy so much as I find it mentally draining to really care about the outcome of EVERY match.

They really killed Captain Americaā€™s.

This is the one I remember most fondly: [media=youtube]FUv1ELA7XTI[/media]

This, eh, not so much: [media=youtube]SZqjl740k3w[/media]

It really lacks the oomph of the original.

Havenā€™t listened to most of the other ones yet though.

Deadpoolā€™s is pretty funny though. Sounds a little bit like mock Lincoln Park.

No question this Guy is good. Iirc he was an A3 legend. Still not 100% convinced Guy will be a contender though. I think itā€™s more the player than the character.

By the looks of it, the Rog matchup is still ridiculously lopsided for the usual reasons.

ggs killey ā€¦ very mentally exhausting to fight viper for 20 games / best of 5 in a row. to paraphrase someone else she sounds like a broken electrical socket.

whaddya think!? have i got any better or is all this practice for nothing?

Can I get in on this? :stuck_out_tongue:

Also, apparently the bed intruder guy made enough money from that ridiculous song to buy a house. [media=youtube]dObpl0ihwOI[/media] Wtf.

Deadpoolā€™s sounds like a Mega Man X song with lyrics. Capā€™s new song is way more epic soundingā€¦ itā€™s just soā€¦ heroic, for lack of a better term ;). She-Hulk has the best completely new song for the Marvel side IMHO.

yo tifa - check your PMā€™s iā€™ll order one of those clear replacement panels for a TE stick.
