sorry guys, couldnt make it tonight. hopefully this coming weekend, if christmas doesnt get in the way, someone will be able to host.
i’m always down for some game time…man i know my Electric bill gonna be high but eh…it keeps us out of trouble when we play these games…
Your elec bill is nothing compared to mine… yeesh… mine was nearly 300! I’m thinking of removing light bulbs and the tvs from the kids room to start. <lol> then move to washer/dryer, then microwave and fridge… will keep tv, games, and pc… cuz we can always order online, use the laundry mat, and lose weight by not eating as much food if we don’t have a running fridge. canned goods ftw and water…lot of water! j/k
I have no rep 
demarcus is not a nut hugger i feel no extra warmth on my nuts nor any extra weight so i think im fine lol… pay them no mind demarcus they just hating.
Anywho’s lemme see what you got for my avatar sometime today and thanks.
grats to the first ranbat grats to ray for holding it down.
On a side note, id like to address something that bothered me a lil. I wasnt upset but just thought pondered on it prolly more than i should have.
Pat, bro… i dunno man, you are a decent kid with average skills thats the facts because your history with SF 4 says so. My history on the other hand speaks for me. Why do you think i have the utmost respect on the sticks from some of the most decorated USA players? you think its because i nut hug or something? nah bro ive ran those guys dick in the dirt i play with them and learn from them and they see my skill and potential. My last major tourney in this country before i retired i took second place and 3rd place losing only to valle in one game and combofiend in the next.
Im playing you right now using less than 50% of my characters abilities and even less skill wise. to say i suck with a character and to claim you have played WAAAAYYY better balrogs but to lose to me 5 6 7 times straight is just absurd man. lets break it down logically? If gavin sux ass and pat loses to gavin consistently then the answer is pat sux ass even worse. that is pure logic, not tryin to be rude to you but you gotta see what your actually saying. I have never disrespected anyone of you ever on or off the sticks. in fact i will try to share whatever lil knowledge with them. instead of you playing against me learning from it you instead get all butt hurt and go off in the corner and say omg this dude sux why am i losing blah blah. you lose because you suck worse its that simple. get over yourself and hit the training mode and work harder.
an example would be you stated “all he does is jump ins he is not even good”. now if you know this why are you not doing anything to stop it? if you lose to random or even predictable jumpins then pat my friend you need to go learn how to anti air properly or work on your reaction time so you may punish those jump ins. the problem is not with me the problem is you and your skill. now if some day you manage to take a game from me in SF 4 then congrats to you bro. wouldnt be the first time ive lost to anyone and it wont be the last. but until then bro NEVER disrespect me again by tell me how much YOU think i suck.
Noone here is expert SF 4 and i never claimed to be when i met you guys. we are all learning, lets focus on that and not or own egos.
I’ll just wait 'til next time . . .
pat i’ve seen you block more jump in with you have a srk ultra possibility. if you srk and it trades! fuck it kill him! your dissin us by not hitting us when we jump in. your good and ya can beat me but jump ins are free on you.
steve. she doesn’t like them old games. she’ll play mafia wars and that bloons game with the monkey and darts. she can actually do combos and stuff but only when i tell her what to do. she’s dont a million raging demons but cant remember inputs. thats why i recommended zangief. i told her “just make pretty circles”. and boom she’s gotta character. ill see what i can do about getting her to play more but she does take losses badly lol.
TUESDAY! my house. i get outta work around 630 so heead over here around 7. if im not here yet my brother may be here. also, i’ve talked to chris. if it gets too late my mom has to sleep and he said it was cool if we migrate to his place. If you want pizza you bring money! friday was payday for ya’ll so no excuses cuz i know you see this. also if you’d like to repay rodolfos wife im sure it would be apriciated.
end of story!!
Thats true dude keeps the youngins away from all the bad influiences I wish I would have stayed away from
I don’t think Pat meant anything by that gavin. Pats like me, when you lose to someone you know know u can beat it gets frustrating so he was just speaking out of frustration. I’m sure pat has the up most respect for you. Oh btw the whole nut huggin issue with demarcus we just joke with him. But you have to admit it’s pretty fun to rag on him you should try it sometimes.
Sorry I had to leave so early but on Tuesday I am THERE UNTIL IAN KICKS ME OUT!!!
“I don’t think Pat meant anything by that gavin. Pats like me, when you lose to someone you know know u can beat it gets frustrating”
see there you go with the same retarded statement. what you mean someone he knows he can beat? what exactly are you trying to say? How can you sit there and say that he knows he can beat me? thats ego talking and you need to keep that in check. he can think all he wants that he is better by all means we are all entitled to our own thoughts but reality is what is at hand.
Funny thing is i dont even claim to be better than anyone me beating on you during some casual plays is really nothing to brag about honestly. we are here to practice and learn and thats what im doing. i dont know what else you are here for thats one you.
let me break it down for you bro, because this is what literally wins matches and separates elite from just average. learning your oppenents weakness and exploiting it key to victory in ANY fight. SO with that being said, if my opponent cant stop a jump in then o well im going to abuse it, if he falls for the same throw setup all the time then guess what? im going to abuse it and by the time he figures it out i still have a full bag of tricks he aint even dealt with yet. thats how the game is played. i killed pat literally with just throws i think i took about 90% of his bar with throws 6 of them back to back how retarded is that? but you are going to sit there and say he is the better player?
i mean the kid got skills but not nowhere as much as he thinks he does. his ego is writing checks his hands cant cash. get over it.
this isnt the first time ive heard the kid say some shit like that, thats why im commenting on it now it started at chris house when i met the dude and he was ready to call me a scrub after losing to me like i dunno how many times. just straight absurd. kid dont know me and was just being straight rude and ive tried to be nuthing but cool wit the kid. and i still am, i got nothing gainst the kid but i do feel the need to point out these absurd remarks he stating. anyways.
/rant off
I was planning to put someone their way next time! I felt so bad I wasn’t aware until I got home and checked SRK and I was like “Damn that’s why he got all those pizzas”. I wasn’t sure why, but in the same sense I kinda wished he’d told me and I’d woulda paid a little extra too for having us…
Gavin: You should really try it, it’s fun to make fun of demarcus. I was thinking about it becoming one of my hobbies.
Man I’m down for today, but I won’t be able to stay long, maybe 11 or so. I’m pretty happy of how everything went yesterday, we had a good crowd, and had an even better time, totally made up for Saturday night!
Pat: I honestly think that you do have a sore loser in ya. But like what Sean said, it’s really frustrating to lose to someone that you know you can beat. However, if that’s the case, you should just sit there and sulk, you should really do something about it. In order to get better there are two things you have to do; 1) Lose, 2) Realize why you lost. That’s it, it’s as simple as that. To lose like that, and let it bother you for the rest of the night is unacceptable, unfortunately though we are a team, everyone is still out to get everyone else. So try not to take such a loss like that to heart.
Man I went to sleep pretty happy last night, I’m just glad that we’ve been having pretty good get-togethers, and I feel that everyone is improving, hell I’m even doing HHS!
Xavier get at me homie, so I can link you to some spots on SRK to try to point out some decently important stuff
Haha I just got Gavin’s post, I guess i’m about get a rant too. However I won’t edit it. Gavin is right though, if you’re opponent has a weakness learn to exploit it, but if you know that you’re getting exploit you should learn how to stop it. Every time you try (even if you fail) you’re still learning. Keep at it, stop being so cocky, you’re not the ring leader buddy, you aren’t the main event either, no one is, but collectively, we all are.
Also Guys some Side notes…
Pat? What happened? It seems as though you were getting frustrated yesterday bro, and letting me get some easy 2-n-1’s on you… Keep your head up man!!
Demarcus… I bow to you my friend… I am still gonna talk trash about your Viper, but I definitely respect your Viper more
Ray!!!I told you I was gonna eventually get your Balrog! I am getting there, I still got work to do.
Lawrence, Thanx alot for letting me come and lose in SFIV!!!
Me, I have improved a whole lot, I am still getting better with my Ryu, and I think
lol calm down i didn’t mean you I meant balrog his ryu generaly doesn’t have too many balrog. So when your losing at a match up with acharacter you generlly hold up too it’s frustrating. I didn’t mean you particulaly. I’ve watched pat progress since he started playing sf4 him and Ray both. So the kids came along way so when I watch play a balrog and see him lose cause he makes mistakes like letting balrog jump in and corner trap him, i get a lol frustrated cause I know he’s better than that. But at the sametime he has to learn from his mistakes. The thing I’ve noticed about pat once he gets mad his logic goes out the window abtrait um also guilty of. As long as he stays leveled he’ll do fine. So like I said I didn’t mean to affend anyone if I did I’m just calling it from what I know he’s capable of.
Yes you thought about it to much causing you to remember things incorrectly.
Let me tell you my history with Street Fighter IV. At first i wasn’t going to get it, but Ray said that I should so I did and he even picked it up for me. Then Chris took us to the Gamecrazy tourney several days later, and it was hype for me so it really got me into the game. Then my goal was to get better than Chris, and eventually I did. I kept playing online and practicing until eventually the Hastings tourney came around. Me and Ray went to this, and got scraped up. This is where I met Billy and lost to him. I told myself If I ever see this guy again, than I will surely be better than him. After that months went by with me practicing and gaining more popularity and skill, with playing people like Geom Modinside, IFC Zangief, TheKingKindred, and many more people to name, playing those guys made me a lot better, Youtube all of them. Eventually people started sending me messages saying, I’ve been told a lot about you, can you help me get better. Then it came time when we were going to the UFO tournament, and everybody wanted me to play on stick, so that happened and to this day, I have not cought up with my skill that I had previously on pad, losing to many people online that I usually destroy.
I know you have a lot of experience and I can tell simple the way you zone me. That is the thing I like about you and Lawrence, your zoning games and footsies are much greater than mine, and it’s something that I need to pick up from both of you. Yes you’ve played with some of the greatest players, and that is great, but does not make you light years ahead of us.
Why in the HELL are you playing me with less that 100%? I know you’re playing for fun, but if you want more people to level up (Including yourself) then just play at 100% or don’t let people know that you are not.
I only said you sucked with Balrog simply because you said you did. Do you remember when you said, “I suck with Balrog, I don’t know why people think I’m good with him.” Remember that shit? That is what I’m basing it off of. I personally think your Balrog is exponentially better than Ray’s. Now, I did claim to play better Balrog’s, and that to me is the truth, but one thing I didn’t say is that I played them frequently enough to learn the match up like I should. Then I went on to say that I should play them so that I can know the match up better.
What you were saying is exactly what I was thinking, but you have it a little twisted so let me clear it up with you, so you can actually see what** you’re saying**. You said it yourself that your Balrog sucked, so in my head I’m thinking damn… if he thinks his Balrog sucks and I’m consistently losing to him 5 6 7 times straight then what does that say about me and my Ryu, and so I got a little upset about that.
That is definitely a good thing. That’s good that you don’t disrespect anybody. Sharing your knowledge is also good because it helps everybody. If everybody else shared their knowledge like you and Demarcus than we could Lv up quicker. I don’t share my knowledge much because people hardly listen or they just don’t take it into effect. I used to have a lot of patience, but now a’ days I don’t, so I’ll tell them once, and if they don’t get it soon then I won’t repeat myself.
Who said I wasn’t learning from it? Actually, when I was playing you, I tried a lot of things to see if they would work. When did I go to the corner? I sat on the couch with a depressed/ focused/angry/observant face (This not being all at once). Once again, I only said you sucked because that is what you said.
Yes you did a lot of jump-ins, and the reason I got angry is because I sat there for an hour today and practiced my anti air against Balrog’s j.rh. I didn’t say you weren’t good because you jumped, I said you weren’t good because once again…(Can I get a d-r-u-m ROLL please) You said that you yourself sucked with Balrog. Yesterday wasn’t the only time you said that either, you also said it over at Chris’s place several times.
I agree with you. The problem is not with you, but with me. The thing is I never blamed you so:wtf:… I am working to get better so that I take every game from you in Street Fighter IV, and when that does happen I will not boast or brag about it, it will simply be what it is.
Once again my words did not come from my thoughts, but what you…
Agreed, but the thing is my ego is enormous.
Only reason why you see me block a lot of jump-ins is because I know if I go for it, I won’t be able to put in the input fast enough (on pad I can), but I am still working on it.
Yes I was speaking mainly out of frustration and I am terribly sorry. I do have a lot of respect for Gavin for two reasons:
- He is my elder and should be treated with respect.
- He is a good person(So far) and knows how to keep it chill.
Damn just when I thought i was done with my two hour long post, you say some more shit.
I really don’t think I am better than you, but that is what you are ASSUMING.
Right I am here for the same thing, and I enjoy myself doing it to. It was a pride issue on my part last night and it was unacceptable.
And your almost right about everything you just said, but last night was a bad night. I couldn’t even play the game because I was so frustrated. I’m well aware of adapting and overcoming, but I’m still working on that. Yes that is what separates the good from the average.
Say something like what? I was never going to call you a scrub, but when I say stuff like “your alright”, I’m really just playing around like you guys do to me(Go fucking figure). So it ok for you guys to joke around and me not get it, but it’s not ok for the opposite way. (I was serious most of last night and most of it was not a joke).
@Everyone
Sorry for the way I acted last night, it was unacceptable. It was more of a pride issue for me.
@Demarcus
Good shit for beating me multiple times last night, I will work even more on that match up.
@Ray
I’ve been an asshole to you lately (Somewhat), and I’m sorry about that. Good games last night.
@Billy & Chris
Thanks for the ride, I really appreciate it.
You don’t understand how much I enjoy losing to a good player. I was already put in a bad mood before hand. We all have our days don’t we??? Chris was pissed last week, but did everybody come back to the got damn forum and cry about it? Hell no. Gavin is right, I know this… I’m known for being cocky and egotistic, but I don’t mind losing. I’m not trying to be the main event. I only take loses to heart when I know for damn sure I could have done better. My ambition is to become the best and to make stupid fucking mistakes and allow so much shit pisses me off. I’m chill now though.
Good deal! I’m glad that hear that you’ve bounced back! Look we’re not here to pick and fight (well I think we pick on demarcus a lot cause it’s fun), but to get better, I’m glad that you’re picking up on things.
The main event was entirely directed at you, it was like you, and everyone else.
Yeah I let a lot of stupid shit happen, that is why I was getting mad. Oh and I was keeping quiet and to myself last night because if anything would have came out of my mouth it would not have been very appropriate or friendly.
I know nobody here is trying to pick a fight with me. I just don’t want people to get confused about what happened last night.
damn, i must have missed something last night…
You missed it by not being there, but most of what you see here happened in our minds.
