Calgary Thread 2011

I also might fly out to LA a couple days before evo to hang out with the Socal guys. I’m gonna be loser-broke come august.

looool

Speaking of cc commentary remember the DBZ talk Cody? I was watching the match(tho I can’t remember what one it was now) and laughed my ass off

“he can’t go super saiyan yet, gotta start slow with the keoken first and go from there”

Loooooool

yeah man I remember for sure :lol: we got a lot of mileage out of the DBZ stuff
"the spirit bomb is just filler"
doing commentary was so much fun

Hey everyone.

I’m running a martial arts tricking workshop on January 23rd. Any skill levels welcome. Sign up at No Limits - Move With Purpose.

Yeah, I’m totally thinking about attending EVO this year. I’ve never been to Vegas and it looks like piles of fun… The world’s biggest fighting game tournament would just be the icing on the cake. If I can go there, get shitfaced AND play street fighter then it’s well worth my while.

Flights can’t be too expensive either. Rooms are AT MOST $120 bucks a night… Why the hell not?!

What is a martial arts tricking workshop about?

Vegas is amazing, dude. I don’t care to gamble at all, but you have to go at least for the food. You have an obligation to eat at the Bellagio buffet at least once during the weekend.

Cool man. I take Choy ly fut Kung Fu and I’ve bboy’d for 10 years. But there’s a sf tourney in Edmonton on the 22nd I think.

U gonna do another workshop after??

still no word on the new reveal for mvc3? Is anyone pre ordering it off capcomstore? was thinking about it but I am gonna see what eb is giving with pre orders first

i wont be staying at the Rio. probably be staying at Caesars, Bellagio, Paris or Ballys. i enjoy walking/stumbling the strip too much. i’ll be playing poker most of the time, dont know if i’ll even enter EVO.

edit: i’ll be staying at Planet Hollywood. that’s where WSOP 2011 is rumoured to be. they used to have it at Rio every year but theyre switching this year cause its too far from the strip. planet hollywood is right beside Paris and Ballys in the heart of the strip.

That sucks that Evo isn’t at the Caesars. i loved that place. really a bummer there

I’ll probably be staying at the Rio, cause I want to play loooooots of street fighter

I’m staying at the Rio because I dont underestimate the value of waking up and stumbling down to play games. I still remember Lap saying he wished he stayed at the same place the tournament was held at.

And looking at my confirmation from the Rio, it seems they offer complimentary transportation to the strip anyways.

Edit - I see what you did there Jamie. QUADFORCE

I just wanna go home and watch Trigun

nice madcap comedy moments in the first part and then in the words of one of Jamie’s friends “Legato shows up and changes EVERYTHING”

Legato is super cool
and Midvalley the Hornfreak sounds hilariously awesome in Japanese :lol:

edit: new iplaywinner tier list

seems very accurate to me

Trigun anime deviates quite a bit from the manga towards the end but I think the manga is still ongoing atm. Definitely check out the Trigun movie after wards it’s really good.

Also, they announced that the Berserk anime project that they’ve been teasing us with is a movie. They said the project will expand to cover the entire manga so not sure whether it’ll get a tv airing after the movie. I don’t know how they’ll be able to pull that off with the manga still ongoing with a chapter being released bi-monthly and it doesn’t appear the story is close to being done.

SQUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

it’ll have to be a long ass movie… I suppose you could distill it down to its essence and still get the point across. The Berserk anime was almost entirely filler free… I dunno how you could shrink its ~13 hours down to less than 2 without making big sacrifices. Just about any cuts will lessen the impact of the Eclipse too… hmm. Hopefully the movie is just like an uber-pilot-episode that introduces the setting, characters, establishes the Band of the Hawk and the relationships, and then they build on it from there. Any word on a release date?

The manga… I’m hoping it starts to railroad towards its climax as soon as they get to Elfheim. One of my biggest problems with serialized media is how most authors seem to love stalling, and stalling, and stalling… (Bleach). Berserk doesn’t stall or do throwaway stories but its been 20 years since the whole thing started. I want to see Guts and Femto’s final confrontation NAO

Trigun I was just reading about… manga finally wrapped things up back in 2007

I’m not sure if I can agree with Fei Long suddenly being felt to be THAT good. Some of those new 6-4 favor matchups are more 5-5 in my opinion.

I’d probably push Chun Li and Dictator back up to 6-4 to their favor. Honda is up in the air, likely 5-5 with small advantage to Honda.

Sagat (with small advantage), and Ken are 5-5,

Seth is 5-5 IMO (probably 6-4 Fei in A.E.) Cammy, Viper, and Juri I feel are 5-5, though I don’t have very much experience in either of these 3 matches.

I guess Filipino Champ, and who ever else contributed to that update tier rankings, know something I don’t. :<

wow fei just jumped right to the top. or was he up there this whole time?

i call bunkin with adam

That’s awesome I really had no idea the Calgary scene was this hype haha. If y’all goin to Rio and I make some dope relations with you guys soon I’ll defs be goin.

And as for today who’s all going to tubs later on? I work every Wed so I can’t make it there till 10:30ish at the earliest… =(
