Upa plays MVC3 more seriously so he takes the game and it’s details more seriously. He’s practicing everyday. Trying to place in WNF. So when guys who don’t play a lot make broad statements about a game it’s gonna be hard to have a sense of humor.
When you’re committed to something and someone else makes light of it, it’s gonna be annoying. If two people talk about something and one person takes that thing seriously while the other is just casual about it, then obviously you’re gonna clash.
And since I believe in our First Amendment there’s nothing wrong with people having different opinions and clashing. Just understand that not everyone is gonna agree and expect to get into a discussion. You don’t know how people will take opinions because no one really knows where that person is coming from:)
In real life:
“ugh i can’t beat phoenix, she’s sooo good”
“she’s beatable but it’s difficult. you can do this this and this, but it’s still kinda uphill”
“oh yea, i didn’t know. i mean i still don’t like her, it’s a tough matchup and it’s like a completely different game”
“yea i feel you, but i mean you either gotta figure it out or not play. i like the game so i choose to figure it out”
on the internet:
“ugh i can’t beat phoenix, she’s soooo good”
“lol scrub it’s 'cause you haven’t figured that shit out, scrubs can’t be talking, you’re just a noob, play to win, look at this justin wong video i found on youtube, he can do it so it’s not a broken matchup”
“what’re you talking about i played daigo in a tournament in the sahara desert and he complained about it to mago, that’s what my friend said. this shit is broken capcom needs to patch it”
“no stfu why are you even on the internet. now i will link to an internet meme to make me feel superior”
That’s the nature of the Internet. People are more hostile because they can be and they don’t have to talk to you face to face. It brings out the worst in people.
But you know this already Joe. It is what it is. So why feel bad about it? Life is short. Just like Yao Ming’s career.
I’ll seriously consider it. I’ll probably put it in a different cabinet with a better monitor.
Thank you everyone for showing up and making it an event. We had eighteen people and a lot of good comp all around. And some new talent as well. Especially for Third Strike.
Thank you Erosentinel, Strider, Kara Fail, Kainzero, ALAX, Kazu, Issac, Lee, The Absolute, Matt, John, Mike, Shooting Blankas, Galzpanic, Mr. 12, Kevin, James, and Secret Character.
It was an awesome evening. At first I thought it was gonna be dead but then all of a sudden more people starting showing up after midnight and stayed till almost six lol. That was cool. It reminds me of the FFA days when people would play all night long until closing.
So everyone have a great weekend and anyone playing in tournaments this weekend good luck.
Till next week.
Pondering on whether to do a double dip next week. I don’t know yet though.
Fighting the tiers with dat Ibuki, lol. I will admit, I was a bit tired by the 1am mark, but overall, I felt at home with the comp last night, and earning the few wins I could nab, consistently.
That said, I seriously wish I had better ways of dealing with Makoto’s karakusa setups…especially since I lose half my life in one grab. DX
Hey Don it was really cool going to your place the last two Fridays to level up my game, I’m sorry I left pretty early Friday and didn’t get to thank you and say later but I had to go back to a family BBQ since one of my cousins left to the Marines boot camp yesterday. Whenever I am in town again I will definitely stop by on Fridays whenever I can.
Well ggs to the Magneto/Wesker/Iron Man guys I played on Friday sorry I don’t know your handles on SRK but I was that lame guy with Dormammu/Trish/Wesker haha
shoutouts to galzpanic joe for lettin us practice after the long beach touney. hahah 3rd or 4th place lol im not Free no more. would love to get more casuals in sometime this week before friday possibly?
yeah no problem bro and grats on placing at LB. I don’t think I can play again before Friday and Wednesday of course but heading down to Irvine on Tuesday is a possibility i guess.
btw I will be making a Shulk Tron team so hopefully we can cover that base.
