right… we gotsta make a decision… outta towners are prolly going to ufo but do we wanna try to start things here? donno myself…
i say we stay here… if wanna get sodomized (butt raped) it will at least be in the vicinity of my home… and the aloe vera.
VIVA LA K-TOWN!!! (ewwww did i just say that?)
but i really could go for some dj max or arcana heart…
You still play arcana? haha xP
I stopped playingggggg -.- maybe I should put it back in when I get home from work xP
Decisions decisions
well it’s tentative meaning that it’s not set in stone yet so don’t worry about it just yet, I’m sure he’ll change the date for us.
Well there’s no T6 team tourney in Austin so that’s an easy decision for me 
Sports games will draw people in for sure (Madden most likely) and main fighters (SF4, T6, etc) and you’re rhythm games (GH, RB, DJHero)
I use strictly photoshop for everything, Posters, Shirts, basically any type of art, I use photoshop.
Lol I just mess around, I do alot of things free style, she’s just for fun lol.
Np, Hopefully next time we can get a computer monitor or I can get my old one back, thanks on the cammy I just mess around with her, nothing major.
Also the tournament at Game FX is not the same day as the UFO Tournament so you can all make it, the UFO tournament is valentine’s day weekend
EDIT: OH SHIT, it is the same day it got delayed to the 20th damn, I don’t know how this is gonna work.
Is that Kimchi? Oh shi…

Im on xblive as pingeddarkumas
Dude we need to be on Teams for a Tekken 6 team tourney here!!!
I have been reading you guys post and I am starting to agree with Steve on the SF Scene… Its not nearly as fun hearing everyone complain, about whos better than who… Criticism and advise are one thing… But not none of you ever won an EVO… I remember goin back to SF School with my buds back in Philly, and EVERYONE has said something about improving my game, and its cause I had fun, yea I get my gameface on, but how will you get better if you start to regret playing? I constantly improve in Tekken and VF At a much higher pace than SF, but thats because I like Hand to Hand Fights, and SF is more of a mind F*** lol. We are all buds, and you guys are all the S*** so remember why we all came together in the first place!
Also Thaniks to the magic of DVD9’s I can play Virtua Fighter 5 online, and I have been definitely improving my game!
fuck vf5, play DOA instead or Tekken (Alisa’s amazing).
You guys know what I need?
An arcade stick. But smaller.
You know how the fight pad is for Street Fighter IV? I’d wager that if I could somehow replace the D-pad with a control stick, I’d have a much easier time practicing. Right now, Cammy’s BnB combo (c. lk, c. lp, c. lp, hk s-arrow) is damn near impossible with my current setup.
Has anyone ever tried modding a fight pad?
Alisa is GARBAGE!!! Its all about Kazuya
I have a fight pad that I am not using.
i juss read some article news earlier on a couple sites, saying that the voice actor who did Heihachi died, there’s talks saying he commited suicidev. Not sure if this is news ya’ll would be interested in but just letting ya’ll know whats up for the folks who play Tekken and such or uses him in the game.
On a unrelated note: I advanced to the next round in the RGX tour, my next tour is @ 4pm…i’m soo not ready cuz my team almost got elimnated when i played TDM Sni[pers
On a brighter note: I may of found a character i may stick with and actually play in SF4, i’ve been using Bison online which has been pretty good for the most part but i won’t be playing SF frequently until probably either after i’m done with RGX tour or i get eliminated in my next round tomorrow…<sigh> i’m so ill prepared for hopefully they’ll throw me a bown and i can play on the maps and game types i’m used tu .
Outside of that how’s everybody been doing i haven’t been posting much as of lately since i think, 2 or 3 days ago, but i’ve been reading the thread though…Ian are u seriously done with street fighter, i’m not quite sure if i was reading it right or not or if anybody else knowsn feel me in the loop cuz im a llittle confused.
What the hell is all this negative talk! Seriously. I didn’t move back from Cali to hear people who I thought wanted to improve and put Killeen on the map all of a sudden quit.
Gaming is what I do for a living. I HAVE FUN ALL THE DAMN TIME! Losing is a part of learning and improving. If you want to play casually, that’s cool. If you want to compete, that’s cool too. You can have both and be happy, but if you’re unhappy about your life, it sounds like you got more of a personal problem rather than a problem with Street Fighter, or gaming in general.
I’ve trained killers for 10 years. I’ve counseled men and women of all background for over 10 years. I’ve been there and if anyone wants to talk to someone who will listen and want FREE advice, I’m your man. Money, girls, guys, cars, games, kids, health, fitness, nutrition, education, etc… Just because you only see me as the guy who works at a GameStop or whatever, doesn’t me I have no other specialties in life. Oh yeah… I’ll even talk about religion, government, and politics… I miss having intellectual conversations.
But seriously… ONLY YOU CAN DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT OUT OF LIFE (…and that includes Street Fighter, lol) Some just want to play and have fun, some want to win, and I go can on and on. Everyone has their own reason, but I want to touch on a previous statement.
Play hard + minimal work = mediocrity of life
Modest play + modest work = modest life
Minimal play + work hard = exceptional life…with the BONUS of EXTRA time to PLAY HARDER for the hard work you put in
You can live life however you want it. That is the beauty of free will. There are people out there who enjoy sewing. It is their passion and they get paid jack shit, but they are happy. <Just an example
I’m not rich, but I’m enjoying life right now. Doing what I love is all that matters to me and that is gaming, gentlemen. I love to compete and I enjoy playing casually.
I guess what I’m trying to say is… there is no such thin as losing the insight of things. Just what you want for yourself in life. If you’re not happy working at Wal-Greens, find another job. Simple. Do what makes you happy. Don’t have the experience, get some… work on similar things that will help and use it on your resume’. I can help you get where you want to be. You have to be confident in the things you want. You have to ‘own it’. When I say that I can make things happen… I do just that. Make it happen.
On another note… relationships. Gentlemen, I do believe no one here knows relationships better than someone who has been married for 10 years with a non-serious gamer. Its all about balance. If they love you for you… then it doesn’t matter, because it makes you happy and as long as you don’t neglect your other half, they’ll be happy. You see, Stacy understands that my dreams have always been working on games. Sure, you’ll have obstacles thrown your way, but you’ll get by them. Some of mine were, military related, and others were educational.
… I must stop and think for a moment… Most of you are still young and have a lot ahead of you right now, but I’m just conveying from my experience that IT IS ALL POSSIBLE! I didn’t let the Marines stop me… seriously, we’re talking about the Marines here! I was a damn Gung-fucking-hardass-Ho Marine. Everything was Marine Corps… perfection. I excelled where my peers failed and then some. Hell, I have a fucking mural painted of me on a wall! No bullshit. I was the epitome of what a Marine is. I ran my Marines into the ground… literally kill 'em daily, but that was part of the mindset. Yet, in the inside did not let my Marine corps lifestyle stop me from what I truly wanted in life. I couldn’t have retired as a Sgt Major, done more tours overseas, got more awards and shit… but that wouldn’t bring me happiness, and realizing that from the get go is what helped me… and that is what is going to help you.
Rambling off topic I know… but I’m going through a lot right now. Stacy lost the baby, but we’re not letting that get us down. Why let it? It’s not like we can’t try again in the future. [insert religious talk here]
Ian: Hey there brother, I’m here for you. I know what you’re going through. Always getting the shoulder about ‘going out to play games’. She should be anything but angry really. You’re not going out drinking, gambling, hitting the clubs/strip clubs, or anything like that. Just innocent gaming, but you have to find that balance and try to make up for shit like that. Ask Gavin. From all his previous posts, he is always posting that he has to hang with the wife first, and etc… same thing here. I take care of business in the house, let her know whats up and boom… It’ll be harder for you because it isn’t as serious and in these stages, losing her over ‘games’ is a high possibility. Bring her into it slowly and make her understand that this is what you love to do… I’m not so sure where you stand as far as gaming (diehard or casual) so I’ll leave it up to you.
…and that goes for everyone else. I’m a fucking nerd/geek. I own everything, collect everything gaming… but you never seem 85% of the shit I own because its in storage and in the wife’s living room, gaming gear does not go well with their funiture setup. Eh… I had a game room in the house we had in Cali… IT WAS FUCKING SWEET!
In conclusion: I recommend reading David Sirlin’s book titled, “Playing to Win”. I believe he has this in electronic form now on his site. He is the producer of HDR and a fellow SRK’er, I’m sure you heard of him.
I love you all (no homo) I’m always having fun! And these silly ranbats… have a purpose. You’re not obligated to be there and its not like I’m going punish you or put you in a blood choke for not participating :lol: It is to serve as a seeding system for those of us who want to see where we at (competitively) Shi’t, I don’t think Demarcus missed one yet!
