yeah good shit man! :tup:
I just want to say you guys have a lot to be proud of.
I was expecting to take a long-ass break from fighting games after N-Cubed, but it turned out to be a great time.
Like I said I would have driven up to Nebraska just to watch the Reload tournament alone. Andrew and Nick had some inspiring performances. Nick with his crazy blocking skills and Andrew with his nail biting matches.
lol thanks shohaib, you played really well man made my heart sing keep up the work man ur hugo is tight, overall it was worth the trip, the sleeping on the wooden floor sucked ass though.
Ok…
**
Things I liked about Nebraska**
Competition at David’s house
Simon teaching me stuff at Davids
The number of games I got to play in 3s in Davids attic
Things I didn’t like about Nebraska
The sticks in the Arcade
The arcade getting hot and nasty with body heat
Overall it was fun but I wouldn’t wanna go next year.
Woulda been nice if we had a hotel there, that way we all wouldn’t have felt so nasty and tired.
Evo was more fun cause of the nice clean setting and the fact that EVERYONE goes to Evo. The hotel was a really nice place to chill… but I guess that’s part of the huge price tag that comes with Evo.
I think I’ll go next year. I might invest in a hotel room though, it’s real generous of David to let us stay there but the temptation to stay up all night is too strong for me to resist
You guys should come along to Midwest Challenge in January, I think Chris and I were planning on it. Nickel City is walking distance from the Red Roof Inn, it’s really convenient and all of the Midwest usually shows. Generally it won’t get the EC/WC turnout that Midwest Championship does, but it’s still a good tournament.
I started playing Ken today, I think it’s time to sell out.
I’m kinda thinking we should plan a big tournament here, but the last time I tried to get something together it fell through because I tried to do everything myself. Is anybody willing to help plan?
It’s funny that you and Aaron are now wanting to pick top tier. Shekeib wants to switch to Q exclusively. I will probably stick with Hugo although I’m pretty sure my Chun is better, you know I always second guess myself. Maybe I should have picked Chun and I probably would have gotten deeper at N cubed but oh well. I’d like to learn how to play with Yun and maybe Urien for fun.
Oh BTW Josh I’m sure you would have placed atleast top 3 with your Urien or even Yang at N cubed.
In my case it’s sort of a temporary thing. The stuff I saw the Ken players doing in Nebraska was a lot like the sort of things I’d like to do with Ibuki, but it just plain looked easier to learn (less character-specific, easier to start from multiple distances/situations, etc). IMO it’s more important for me to learn about the game itself than to learn a bunch of strategies specific to one character, and Ken looks like the easiest to win with to me (if I played Chun or Yun I feel like, again, I’d be less learning general SF strats and more learning how to get the other guy to lose to the character’s big overpowering gimmick – which is not to imply anything about Chun/Yun players, I just think the characters are barriers for the way I learn).
I’m still more interested in Ibuki and Makoto.
I’d really like to go to Midwest challenge, if we get a hotel. If everyone’s gonna be there we could invite some people to the hotel room and get a bunch of casuals in. If I go I would be looking forward to the competition and casuals instead of the actual tournament just cause I’m more focused on getting better right now.
But I really don’t know my schedule for January yet so I don’t know, but if Shohaib wants to go and I’m free…(which I probably will be, I mean what the else would I have to do at home, instead of play games?..Oh yeah, school )
So if can I would most definately go.
good shit everyone, nice to see a surge in 3S again. hope everyone had fun at N-cubed.
Just letting everyone know about Jon’s farewell party coming up, Iplan on having it on Dec. 15th but that’s a thursday, but that might not matter if MU and public schools are already out for winter break. So I’ll try to keep everyone posted, and please leave me some feedback on the issue.
I have my last final on the 15th so it will work for me.
Oh shit, the St. Louis thread has more posts than ours!
Quick, everybody post if you’re going to be in town for winter break!
Well… I think me and Shohaib will be in town for a while over break but prolly not the whole time because we’ll most likely go to our house in Sedalia to be with family. But I like chillin in columbia more than in Sedalia so I’d rather stay here for a while but I don’t know if we will be able to. If we do stay here for a while over break we will probably have people over and play games again, if Shohaib’s cool with it. It’ll be like what we did before…Chinese food and all.
i have no life so ill be in town.
Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!
I just realized I like forgot to say anything, but I’m pretty sure the 15th works for me.
I’ll be here for the majority of the break working 11-4 mon-sat. The only days I’m sure I won’t be here are a couple days after Christmas.
Okay, so the 15th sounds good. I’ll start printing up invitations so I can keep track of everyone I’m inviting.
arcaderick.de has switched over to email only and dropped their online “store” … fuckin’ german fecal freaks. And it looks like coinop is fuckin me over too, so I don’t know when we’ll get slash?
It’ll probably be available when they start testing Guilty Gear XXX: Reloaded and Slashed Crazy Tenticle Cock Domination ???
i’m probably going back to st. louis on the 15th.
which sucks because i dont know anyone there.
[17:01] thetritoneterror: You shoulda gone to NEC!
[17:34] Claw Shrimp EX: Back
[17:34] Claw Shrimp EX: I didn’t have the money to go
[17:35] thetritoneterror: Did you know CHarlie Parker sold his horn to afford the trip to NYC?
[17:35] thetritoneterror: But it only got him to Chicago.
[17:35] thetritoneterror: He had to bum rides from there.
My devotion is weak
My last final is on Monday, so I am down to play anytime, anywhere. I’ve decided it’s time to step up my game hardcore with the three characters I still give a shit about.
Oh I’ll be here, working most likely, after Christmas but I’m sure I’ll have plenty of time for game because I haven’t had time for them in oh about two months
going to gunthers like twice in 2 months is too good!! :lame:
but yeah, I plan on being around to play again
