y’all are retarded, you think we’re willing to collect cash to fly some top players out because we totally think we’re gonna rape them? as one of the only people in edmonton still taking this game seriously imma just say go fuck yourself to those outside the thread coming here to comment on this. nobody gives a shit if you think we are free, at least we’re playing
You’re right. It was pretty bad. Thats the kinda shit that happens when you have a small community and lack the match up / character knowledge. You lose… you learn…I’m free just pick Felicia and I’ll lose garunteed.
East Coast thinks they’re the shit, but when Dave “Detrixmantix” went to that MVC3 tourny in the East Coast he placed higher than any of the locals.
thats fucked up. Cuz im better than Dave… atleast until he challenges me to a MM or FT whatever to prove me wrong.
Honestly we should forget about flying over an American player and we should consider flying an East coast player because in UMVC3 we havent decided which coast is the best coast yet. Seriously RDK, JOKER, NICKCAM or whoever from the East Coast thinks that they’re the shit don’t make some lame rap style beef video on Youtube. Just PM me and we’ll work this out. Whether you fly here… or i fly there I’m coming to get my money.
PS.
Sorry if I don’t respond right away. I’m gonna be in Vegas till the 14th partying my nuts off.
See this is a legit reply and I have respect for bee for posting it. In your opinion wouldnt you rtaher have sat with justin and played a ft10 off stream or just for the hell of it and ask him shit during it? Wouldnt that have been better for you then a streamed exhibition?
I had the ability and sit and play justin in a ft15 at toryuken and learned lots about all my AE alts (spacing, how to deal with things, etc). Wayyyy more stuff then i could have possible learned in some stupid exhibition match, especially a ft3. My point was simply to take the opportunity to play these guys without added pressure (exhibition, stream, etc) and trying to prove something in an exhibition type format and actually learn something from it and have a conversation about shit.
Instead of constructively taking what I said and assuming I called all you guys shit,when i merely said you arent on the same level as someone like noel and shouldnt run some exhibition which would be a waste of time, which im pretty sure you all agree on, you guys want to rant and rave like little children and tell me shut the fuck up and at least you play and all this nonsense.
I had made this suggestion to make the event more exciting. Even though B is the best I played in Edmonton (AND I get destroyed) It doesnt discourage me from facing a top american player. Even if we get slaughtered, (Atleast I probably will) I wouldnt care because it helps us learn and get more experience. You say its a embarrassment to Canada, when it really shouldn’t be. I dont think its fair to judge Edmonton’s scene by Shiro’s placing. I never went to Canada Cup to compete, So I dont know how far I would have gotten.
If we do end up flying these players in, whats the point in having them here if we dont have a exhibition against them? It will be good hype for sure.
Who the hell was talking about shiro? Ive met him numerous times and dont have a bad thing to say about the guy, why would you bring up him or his placings?
Flying someone in does not obligate you to have exhibition matches. Having an exhibition match with your best players and getting bodied for free is not hype. Shit’s depressing. Play them longer sets off stream and talk to them during it so you can actually learn something instead of a ft3 where its you publicly getting your shit pushed in and continuing this notion that Canada is free. Step your game up and learn matchups, gameplans and your own tech. Even bee said it himself, you guys are small community and dont have matchup knowledge and the competition on that high of a level.
We have been getting a discount on the big station up until this point by accident. They should have been charging us more so now they are going to charge us 5/hour instead of 3.50. It’s not really noticeable after 5 hours it’s 7.50 more over the course of the night so I think we should just suck it up and continue to use it. Any opinions on that would be appreciated obv.
Shiro was awesome enough to stream the whole thing from the big screen. If you had matches on the big screen and you want to link to it and talk about it the links are here: http://www.twitch.tv/edmontongamers/b/320614682 http://www.twitch.tv/edmontongamers/b/320621117
Remember that next week is free pizza but games aren’t likely to be free. The cost of the stations was 42.50 and the amount we brought in was 70. After that we have 87.50 towards pizza. I really need help with prize ideas for top 4 finishers. Mine are all dumb. One I have is to give the top 4 finishers 1st choice on the pizza toppings. Another Idea is to give top 4 finishers a free pass to play in one of the four ranbat 2.0 series nights. See how brutal and unoriginal those prizes are? HELP.
On a seperate note: Shiro brought up to me he needs help raising funds for Alberta Beatdown 3 and he’s wondering if we can help in some way. If any portion of the overages from the ranbat season directly or indirectly went to ABD3 it would need to be voted on and I would feel way better if it was unanimous too. If every dollar we raise during our ranbat season went to the ABD 3 it still wouldn’t cover the starter pots so I don’t really think that makes sense to flat out donate that way. I’m thinking we could do some other cool shit to help Shiro out like raffles and shit. Actually I don’t have a clue how to fund raise so if anyone else has any ideas that would be great too. Also if anyone doesn’t want to put the money towards ABD3 in some way and they have been out more than once so far then pm me and I promise i will keep it confidential.
Well you were talking about Placing 3rd in a pool and I remember him telling me something like that or similar.
If you are getting 3rd in your pool and you dont feel like you are ready to face these guys in a exhibition, thats on you. Don’t speak for the rest of us that might want to challenge these guys. Unless you are better than B, your personal opinion is meaningless. Its not like we callin out Fanatiq or Noel and be like “YO YOU BITCHES R FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE” like that YouTube video. Me personally, I just want to make this event as fun and hype as possible.
Why would continuing this make Canada look free? If I remember my geography we are only part of a city in Canada. Does Edmonton represent Canada? No it does not. Team Edmonton != Team Canada. Also why does the notion bother you? From what I read you dont really care much for the game to begin with. Just because we get bodied by possibly the worlds best marvel player in the world doesnt necessarily make us free.
I like how you automatically assume that we will end up getting bodied. Anything is possible. Who knows, maybe someone might end up beating Noel or Fanatiq, we will never know unless we try. If I had your mentality for this, I would honestly just flat out quit this game because I would have no goal to push myself to get better. I still play this game because I want to become one of the best in the city, and having a positive mind set and believing you can be as good as the pros will eventually get you there. B beats me so much in UMVC3, but instead of being depressed and being a baby about it, I want to play more because I want to be better than him.
Instead of thinking “OMG LAWLZ HES GETTING HIS ASS BEAT BY JWONG! THIS IS MAKING US LOOK SO FREE ITS FUCKING DEPRESSING!” and criticizing the other player, the time can be spent training and leveling up your game. Just from what I read, your attitude is “OMGZ A TOP EDMONTON PLAYER GOT BODIED BY JWONG, THIS IS AN EMBARRASSMENT TO MY COUNTRY!!!”. If you are so bent on this “Canada is So Free” crap, why dont you go train and challenge JWong. If you arent going to, then shut the fuck up with the trash talking.
I watched joker play against JWong. I hear Joker is one of the best in the East Coast. But he still got bodied. Even though that Happened, I respect his skills. I would assume you thought his performance was EMBARRASSING too, considering thats what you thought about Bee. These 2 events cant support the Notion Canada is Free because they are playing Jwong, who is possibly the best Marvel player out there. If Canada is Free because of these 2 events, then the rest of the world other than Japan is free to.
thats like the shit scrubs say to themselves and other ppl to justify their being shitty at the game and saying bee switched to pad from stick to get wins when he never played marvel on s tick to begin with i can tell u obviously dont know shit about the game or our players so why would u open your mouth to begin with you dont even know what the fuck your talking about…
jwong could go to 100 cities and do 100 exhibitions and make that place free he did it to us and he did it to one of your tops players already if we wana test out skill against some1 who isnt considered to be the best marvel player in the world with exhibition matches thats our business we,re flying them down here so why the fuck not at least we have ppl willing to step up and rep canada ,we could care less what some random who isnt even a top player from toronto thinks so dont come in here insulting our players and our event …if you dont want canada to look stupid u should worry less about what we,re doing with our event and worry about videos your players put out… no disrespect to rdk and joker but u guys put out video thats ghetto as fuck…your in the middle of nowhere like a fucking trailer park and theres a set of teeth flashing money and a guy challenging ppl to matches then making every excuse in the book for it not to hapn afterwards…you tell me whats embarrassing possibly losing to fanatiq or noel or that shit…
Or its an exact quote from justin and dieminion when we were talking about the game before toryuken. I stopped really reading your ridic post right after that. Pretty sure when I actually played the game I was considered one of the top players from here and since I stopped I spent more time and money helping the scene get bigger. What the fuck have you ever done besides trying to justify some stupid fucking initiative on a message board?
Oh an good shoot being on that fanatiq bandwagon, try knowing exactly what happened instead of just watching WNF or restreams of toryuken. Sheeple.
Ok you might honestly be the dumbest person I have come across on these boards (which is saying a lot with people like uberjohnson). Read what i wrote again. I am telling you to play these guys LONG FUCKING SETS off stream instead of some exhibition to try and prove something on stream hoping you might scum them out in some vague attempt to make you think you are actually good.
Automatically assuming you will get bodied is a pretty fucking good bet, especially when you cant even properly read my post. Since that is above your head, hitting a button and moving a joystiq around must be truly difficult for you.
I will reiterate this one last time for you and then I am going to assume you simply have brain damage. Playing these guys is a great idea, flying them in is a great idea. Getting bodied in an exhibition match is not and teaches you nothing at all. Go play a ft7-15 with them so you can actually learn something and get better.
Stop talking about me as this has nothing to do with me. You don’t know who ive beaten, where ive travelled to or how much time ive put into what game when i actually was playing. it was a suggestion and if you guys arent going to listen, ill sit here with my popcorn and enjoy the show.
See i actually expect more from you since ive met you a chilled with you. As someone who actually wants to get better im shocked that my suggestion of “play a long fucking set off stream” has been met with such hostility. Everyone keeps posting about getting better and thats why they want to play, didnt know you could get better in a streamed ft3 instead of a private station ft10.
you know you can do exhibitions and play off stream as well. It’s no big deal man.
I don’t think you mean any harm cam, but what these guys do with their money or time doesn’t really concern you.
I’m sure you were good at marvel at one point or another, but it’s all about the top 3 players.
And if you can please tell RDk and your other top players for marvel I wanna MM all of them.
Oh ya whens torontos next big Tourny ? I wanna go this time
I never played marvel, game was just fun so I just entered in tournaments and did a little lab stuff in vanilla because I had fun. Only reason i brought up that one marvel placing was to show how random the game could be if i was placing anywhere decent in it. Was always an sf4 player.
Youre right it doesnt concern me, I was giving a suggestion of how they might actually take advantage of a great situation that shiro or whomever is getting these guys to come, is providing them and instead of any constructive conversation, I have some clown talking to me like a 15 year old internet nerd and spouting off bullshit and some other guy who has never accomplished anything trying to take digs at me (im sure thats true of the first guy too).
Im pretty sure rae and some of the other guys might try and go to canada cup because its a major so itll be easier for them to justify it or whatever. I think they are going to evo too, not sure if you’re going.
Lol dude my post was in refferanc eto my GF taking 1st and me taking top 8 over all in our local ranking battles. She took first with lagit skills, this was for AE not 2012. I’m done with the whole flame war shit, I just wanna get these dudes here and play as much as humanly possible once they are here.
Like to be honest I played a million matches with justin at canada cup and felt no need to play him on stream, Its not like he is going to say hey dude to beat me in this tournament match, you must do bla bla bla.
I am not even focused on this whole who should play who stream no stream, shit bringing those guys here helps hype the tournament and I’ll cross my fingers that we are prepaird for them once they are her.
I truly feel that i learned more just playing him shooting the shit then getting raped on the stream =*( I actually played allot better ocne i started to play the match up more
This! Thank you. That was all I was trying to say. You are going to learn more in that kind of environment then what was being proposed.I knew you were actually rational lol
LOL @ this. Clearly you missed my point. What Have I dont for the scene? Honestly not much considering the FGC is part of my hobbies. School is my first priority, but i help out at events and train some people when I can. I have only been part of Edmonton’s FGC for about a year.
Ok reread my post and tell me WHERE we plan to scum out these guys? Honestly all you are doing is assuming what we are gonna be doing.
