[TheBlackrose]

Peace out to the people who came out from Chicago today. You made this one a good one.

[scottemad123]

to all the fags that have the means of transportation and didnt show up to the milwaukee tourny…you are all gay. (me and marcus agreed on this)

the tournament was amazing…i hope u fags show up to the next one.

had good bar food…beer…games…what more can u ask for? Also, they raffled off some pretty sweet prizes…i have a new fight stick

you sure you arn’t describing marcus and yourself wearing military outfits?

[Tactics]

Oscar, posting on the boards drunk calling everyone fags is probably not going to encourage anyone… Id go if I could but Id hate to toss my kids at my parents to watch them again so I could go play again when I already did that twice in the week. Definitely does sound like a good time though, ill try my best to go next time.

[grouchy]

nope, not drunk

i was just voicing my honest opinion.

it sucks when people dont support those who want the scene to improve and go out of their way for everyone to have a good time.

(yes, i know, other ppl had prior plans or were busy)

[konkrete]

Of course I’m going on vacation the week before CH3. Not sure If I’ll be able to make it to Ignite, and definitely won’t be able to make it ou on wednesday. Oh well. Grind time tonight…

[Tactics]

So far from experience with our new crowd your approach will not work, if you posted something along the lines of how much of a good time going to that tournament is and how much spending money to go there to gain experience is very valuable then you may yield better results :). I guess I can start to add the WI monthly tournaments to our tournaments section considering its only 2 hours away.

Anyone interested in a 80gig Backwards Compatible(PS1/PS2) PS3? I am willing to sell mine for $175 or a trade for a Madcatz TE stick(360, prefer a dual modded one). I thought id use it more but I never use it at all since I am always on my 360. PM me for details…

[GrantLe]

Am I able to just bring a setup for casuals to CH3? Because I’m thinking about bringing a friendly setup for mk9(360) since it’s not in the tournament. I can’t bring a TV though. Sorry, I’m new to the tourney scene.

EDIT: It can also be used for AE and MvC3.

[AuhsojSivart]

I have yet to see it, but I know that movie is like, the third or 4th in a series. Jet Li was the previous actor for that character

It’s more of a remake/reboot.

[Hira]
