B never uses pad, but why dont we make this interesting and just do either joker or RDK vs B at Alberta Beat Down. I mean when/if fan and noel reach they can MM the toronto rep as well.
Pointlessly posting shit on here about whos free who this who that, i mean really? Edm doesnt jump on your thread to trash joker for losing to justin so bad. B is a great player and so is joker, justin is better than them both and hey perhaps they would BOTH do better vs noel or fan if thye played sets vs them
also thinking of things now, since joker cant go to the states having him come down here would be tiiight
EDIT:
While this IS Mvc3 matches not UMVC3, you ca’t deny thatmarn was getting burnt like a pound of hash
Now I might be crazy, but pointlessly bragging how good you are and trying to make it known your doing a high stakes MM seems a surefire way to get blown up.
Overklocked SSF4 AE 2012 Ranbat series 1.4 season 1 finale is happening night!
-Casuals start at 6:30 and go to 7:30-8. The casual station is loser stays up until he loses 3 times consecutively.
-From 8 to 11:30 is the ranbat. If the ranbat finishes early then it’s casuals until 11:30.
-If we get 8 people then we will have two stations to run things otherwise 1 station should be all we need. If we get 12 people we get a 3rd station and on and on.
-Ranbat format is going to be double elimination format top 4 spots get ranbat points.
-I’m going to ask that if you come down that you give me $5. You don’t pay Overklocked (unless you are buying drinks or gamer grub.) If anyone from Overklocked asks you are using Raiden’s station (this won’t happen I’m just covering all our bases).
I’m holding off on prizes / pizza night until 2.1. because extra money from tonight is going towards prizes and pizza next Wednesday.
Early but mostly unnecessary sign ups are here
Overall results are here
Please tell me you are kidding me. Anyone who does training mode in that game is good because the game is damn easy to play and easy to comeback in. As far as mixups go, yes, call assist then teleport,berseker slash, meteor smash etc is talentless and a joke for how strong the mixup is.
Who the hell was talking about rey or joker? Have we ever created a thread saying how we should do exhibitions because we stand a chance? Did you forgetr that canada cup tournament that justin went to was not the worst bunch of marvel play ever, which if memory serves me right, edmonton was present for?
Furthermore, I cant speak for either of them,but im pretty sure neither rae or joker would go to alberta beat down due to;
it not being a major
taking 25 peoples money does not come close to paying for the trip
Wasnt this when Marn was trying to learn akuma? Its also pretty easy to deal with mag and zero when u can block both ways
Lol last years Alberta Beat Down’s Marvel turn out was 45 not 25. With the $200.00 bonus pot for Marvel this year, we anticipate a much larger turn out, both locally and provincially. Also, being at the convnetion that has 5,000 people in attendance helps to build on those averages for our yearly tournaments. We are not privelged enough to be able to fly a great deal of players our and place a heafty bonus pot for the event but we are confident that this year will be our largest tournament to date. With Street Fighter IV haveing a $500.00 bonus pot even Air is considering coming to the event.
Now while our monthly tournaments are not as large as some of the greater cities such as Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver we do have a strong group of players, many of whom are crossing over into other games.
Also I refer to Rey and Joker because I beleive that they are tellented players and I beleieve that having them present at a tournament would be great. You are right when you say that you can not speak for either of the players you mentioned before because that would be incredibly ignorant of you. As I did speak with Rey about coming down to Alberta Beat Down, his main concerns were getting time off of work and his sponsors not considering this a major so traveling might be an issue. Never once did he say “taking money from 25 people” or anything of that nature. Joker, someone I have known for a number of years is prolly one of the most nicest people I have ever known out east (next to narith) and because he is very busy with his family and work those two things would be the most serious factors in him coming to the event.
Now you are right when you said you never created a THREAD saying you stand a chance against an american player, you made a VIDEO calling one out to a $5,000 money match. I respect joker as botha friend and a player so excuse me if I feel that having him come down would be pretty awesome. Rey I don’t know too well but he’s good people and I like the fact that he uses characters that no one in Alberta plays (trish). The only other person I think would be interesting to have come out (as far as marvel is concernd) is Nick Cam, he rocks skrull just like I do and he is a pretty chill guy, atleast form the conversations I’ve had with him.
Now honestly speaking here, I think your entier point in posting on this thread was not to be all chummy and say “hey guys this isnt a good idea these guys are really good”, but instead to make a light jab about B losing to Justin and that it would be an embarssment for us to even bother playing Noel or Fanatiq in an exhibition. If that is true, then why?
So now starts the trolling? I understnad if you have faith in your friends or players of your own city but why not just ocme out and play and let the results speak for themself instead of the trash talk?
Hey so I’ll be running a random select mini ranbat this wednesday at overklocked. No extra fees required past the entry for Raiden’s $5. Starting approx 9pm to give official ranbats some time to get through some matches. Works like this:
-Both players pick Random select, first to two wins advances in double elim brackets
-Loser of the first match can either rematch or pick a new random. Winner must pick the character and ultra he got by random select
-If loser ties it up, the new loser can also rematch or opt for a random select
-No peeking at movelists! Even if you get Gen lol
-Grand Finals best of 3
-Just for shits and giggles
Next week there will be an undercard mini tourney that will exclude the top placing people from the official ranbats, a best of the rest shindig. Look for more info next week including early signups.
I was referring to the valentines day tournament ( i think it was that) in which you had around 20 something entrants. The level of play was absolutely embarrassing for the most part ( just my opinion). I bring this up because when you hold or attempt to hold large tournaments and invite top americans up, people see the huge discrepancy in the level of play between them and you. This in turn does give a bad rep as far as canadian talent goes. While this isnt really fair or wwhatever, it is the unfortunate truth. If you want to play those guys, money match them, fuck do whatever, go right ahead. You only get better by playing the best and learning, but ffor the love of god, do not call it an exhibition match with your top 5 players.
Secondly, when the hell did I make a video lol. Joker and nick did in RESPONSE to fanatiq. Pretty sure neither noel nor fanatiq made a post or video saying how they would body you in an exhibition match so please stop using that as a point.
Lastly, if you wanted these matches between B or yourself or whomever and rae, joker, nick, etc, you just had TWO evo qualifiers in the past 2-3 weeks in which you guys could have made the effort to come. We had detrimantix last year and kenny and lapchi lended support this year. Why should anyone from toronto or whatever support your non major when you dont support any of ours?
im not saying anything bad about the event at all. Please point out where i said anything negative. I just said it might not be the best idea to have exhibitions vs those guy because it will be a massacre.
Do I really have to explain backhanded digs at people’s skill while you offer bets against them? Trash talk might not be the best words to describe it, but you still came in here to start shit man.
actually read my first post where i said “id advise against that”. Your proclaimed best player got smashed (not a dig but 7-1 is bad) and from my understanding he is leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else in the alberta marvel scene and you think its a bright idea to pit your top 5 against people on or close to justins skill level for all to see?
I never stated that we should do a exhibition vs anyone that is coming down, I simply want to make the event exciting and I am trying to raise the funds to bring down talented american players to the event so that we can give our better players something to train for and everyone else something really entertaining to watch.
My only gripe with the post that are being made is that they are slightly insulting. We never had a valintines event in Edmonton, we did however have one for the victoria long weekend, and yes I would agree that the turn out was quite poor and dispite the few exciting matches that took place, not having B play in the tournament and as well some of our other really talented players show up really down players the over all skill that I know our city can demonstraight.
In regaurds to going to any of the eastern majors. Well I had an event the same weeknend for the first one, but I did tune into the marvel and street fighter portions of the event. For Mat, I simply could not go because I do not hacve the funds. I can not create money out of thin air and as a parent, it is very difficult to generate the funds to just go to a tournament.
I can not ever speak for the financial situations of other players, so I wont try to make excuses for other players. I USE to go out east for tournaments one in Ottawa and two in Toronto, but money is more tight now and I really do not have the confidense in winning a tournament in any city little let alone my own. I have been talking to Rea about coming down and seeing how it can work out for him to come. Until anything is confirmed I don’t really see any reason in talking about it.
When did I ever single you out? I was merely responding to this post. Then everyone else went off on some random tangent.
Like i said already, what you are doing is great as it provides entertaining matches and good practice for everyone in your community, i did the same thing for t12 with peter and marlin and such. I simply advised against the whole top 5 exhibition match idea, which wasnt even yours to begin with. I guess because im not from Alberta my opinion isnt valid and comes across hostile which makes no sense. Sorry to burst the bubble but when I am getting 3rd in my pool at Canada Cup in mvc3, I dont believe the scene is ready for people like noel. Its no disrespect, just my personal opinion.
If anyone has it twisted it’s those not from Edmonton. All we are doing is mulling out loud if we want or are able to fly out a pro for fun and training. Any boasts done here are amongst ourselves because it never hurts to think you can beat one of the best. That was the thread.
Then we get others in here reminding us stuff we already know, throwing out bet challenges and talking about how we shouldn’t give Canada a rep for being free. To that, fuck you. We are not trying to be some showcase of premier talent we just want to have fun with our event. The last thing on our mind is pleasing dumbfuck stream monsters and not this pride of Canada stuff. Nothing is locked in stone and it would be for fun and a learning experience.
