Calgary Thread 2012

I’m still the Calgary Champ, and don’t you ever forget it Dug.

I taught this city how to FADC.

I taught this city how to mash H+A1.

I taught this city that I am the best.

There is only one explanation Sam.

Kinda what Ultradavid’s article was talking about. No disrespect, but it’s undeniable that the FGC is less welcoming than a lot of other communities. Saying you have to prove your worth at a video game before you can talk about it is kinda silly. And then ganging up on someone like the pack of wolves aforementioned… Constructive criticism, no matter the source, is ever a bad thing. If he’s wrong, and his opinions are getting under your skin, then use his comments as a drive to prove him wrong.

I think the problem is he delivered said constructive criticism in a douchey way.

On another note, what time do you guys usually head to dickens on sundays? I’ll have to try and make it down this weekend

id say it had more to do with the tone of ksharpie’s advice.
it just reaked of self entitlement. being a good teacher means having the right approach.

yup call me ignorant cause i agree with sam. i wouldnt take someones advice seriously unless its from someone better than me or at least near my level (not trying to be conceited at all, just saying).

I think everyone’s butthurt over nothing. Kyle’s a solid dude and someone being cocky should be answered with “fine by me, ft5” not boo hooing and name calling.

Speaking of which I have to address Friday’s challenge of my undefeatedness at Derryk’s house. I fucking eat jungle goblins.

on another note, Code Geass is sick

Yea well, someone saying that they’re disappointed with the level of competition of Calgary scene is butt hurt.
Then cool.

I agree with that

EDIT: I think we can all just accept that Ksharpie’s assessment of the scene as not living up to his expectations is a farce, simply because he hasn’t played me! UAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA

With that said though I’m not offended that he offered his opinion. It’s just a thought.

It’s ok, we all know Troy’s Sim is free! :smiley:

lol…

i really think we need to cool it on kyle though, guys. he gave me some really good advice - and i rarely do get it. whenever i do play it’s online (lol) or with friends and just having fun, with beerz etc. (again, lol). the validity of his suggestions were quite significant.

there may have been some thoughts of his which were stated without playing some of the best in town, sure. that part is a little out of line, but nothing worth putting him on blast for. he is the “new guy” – we should welcome him! ask him to play on XBL, i’m sure he’d be down.

perhaps our community is really too nice to each other in comparison to others. maybe that is the point he really wanted to get across? it could be much more competitive out east then what we are used to… have you ever gandered in the toronto threads, etc? that shit is c r a z y.

for example, just think about the amount of rage from the eastern scene that lapchi, troy and greg had to deal with when canada cup rose up.
those guys are (/were) seriously full of rage. i bet their local stuff isn’t much different.

maybe it’s because the leafs suck. i dunno.

zak is the best. but i still whooped him at MPM / DK, bwahaha

fuck you zak

i started watching baccano. i think i heard of it from this thread. its kinda confusing so far but very intriguing. just finished ep 2 and seems like some shit is about to go down on that mothafuggin train.

Had a blast last night at Dickens.

I have no idea how we were up 4-0 in fooseball then lost 9-5 or something lol that was ridicolous =/

I’ll take you out next time Pete.

Hahahhaha yo Sang all I could think about was dat ass pic you posted a long time ago LOL

I tried downloading that quite awhile back but it didn’t have subs. I am clearly an anime noob. :frowning:

Thrice ditto’d!

He’s only trying to help guys… True, he could’ve be a little more tactful I guess, but it could’ve been worse haha

Serious though, if you guys go to other scenes, the players can be straight up assholes to each other a lot of the time. Some people take a lot of pride in this stuff, and obsess about who’s better, who can beat who, etc, and it can get quite confrontational. I’m not pegging Mr. Sharpie as this (not by a longshot!) but he’s also probably not used to how we’re the opposite and so utterly bromantic with each other lol

I don’t think anyone said his advice was bad.

What’s this about? I don’t even know the guy and this annoyed me. I don’t see how this isn’t worth putting him on blast for. He hasn’t beaten anyone but he has nothing to learn from them? That doesn’t even make sense. He deserves a kick in the ass (metaphorically). Put up or shut up.

edit: if anything, being too nice is not having pride in your local scene. are you guys happier to have a new guy call everyone out with a passive-aggressive “not trying to be a dick” statement or let the new guy say what he wants and just let it go? I’m not exactly the best player in the world here but I call bullshit on anyone that says they have nothing to learn from the players in Calgary.

Yeah! Agreed Tetsu.

That’s why I throw down the gauntlet. Let’s fight!

have either of you guys finished FF13? I’m trying to get it overwith now >_> this game is so boring haha

Yeah, game sucks.

cmon Josh. Lets play some SF. Please don’t make me play ranked.
