Edmonton Thread - 2012

I’m bumping my housecleaning shit post cause it’s important but not as juicy as the rest of the shit talk in this thread atm.

Spoiler

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:

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.

LOL Really? Charging the wrong amount? Thats just too funny. Anyways steve if you need help ordering pizza, just let me know. Students get 50% off dominos. =)

Scum out refers to the skill gap and hoping one of the BS game mechanics works out in your favour (lvl 3 xf comeback).

Have you won a major before? No
Have you placed top 5 at one before? No

So what would make anyone logically think you are going to beat someone who has and consistently does these things? I gave you a suggestion on how to use this to your advantage and instead you continue to not understand and type nonsense. You must be in a highschool as I have been reading a lot lately of this “no 0 policy” and that poor teacher who got fired for giving one. Explains most of your posts. Its not your fault, its the system.

Cam your first three posts in this chain feature you apparently trying to expose bee for ‘switching to pad’, claiming that bee’s loss to jwong means we are too free for such matches to be wothwhile, and saying you watched one of our tournies and we’re all awful. thanks man. maybe you have a valid point somewhere but you’re popping yiur collar so hard that nobody can see it. you andvthe rest of the people with this attitude, id rather you just stfu until you actually come to our events to have a good time wih us. no reason to sling shit around, nobidy respects or appreciates it

Pretty sure im one of the only EC players to come to both Canada cups. Maybe my recollection is wrong but I remember bee coming to JS and I’s hotel room for money matches during the first CC and im pretty positive he used stick. If im wrong then that is certainly my bad. Also the tournament i was referring to was the CC valentines day one when justin came, I have never watched an edmonton tourney but as i said i was pretty sure edmontons best were present.

I never said playing top players isnt worthwhile, I said running streamed ft3 exhibition matches is a stupid idea when the skill gap is that big.

I concluded you were in highschool because your ability to read and comprehend things is far below that of anyone with a grade 11 education. Thanks for proving my point for me though.

I dunno if hes figured it out yet, but I have been trolling his ass since last night LOL!

Since you are still scratching your head about figuring out what makes me a HS student, I might as well tell you. Look at the time AND day I posting. If I was in school, I wouldnt be posting shit on here, let alone reply this fast. I am amazed we have a similar thought. Yes I think the NO 0 Policy is stupid, I read all about it in the news and everything.

Just from trolling, All I see is a person who whines and bitches if others don’t agree with him. Trying to say B “Switched To Pad”, already shows how much you know about our community. <NOTHINGGGGGG>

Tournament on Valentines day? Valentines day was a weekday if I remember correctly because I spent that day with my girlfriend. Honestly get your facts straight before your start throwing a bunch of bullshit on the forum. I think YOU are possibly the dumbest person I have seen on this forum, or the biggest cry baby, which ever one you prefer. I dont think you realized what entertainment you have given me. I have been laughing at this all morning. Thanks for the start of a good day!

DURRRRRRR ME NO READ ENGRISHHHHHHHHHHHHH

this whole convo is lol

Scott: obvs these guys are gonna play tons of casuals with the pros off stream, the exhibition is a just for fun thing I’m assuming. I’m sure the last thing anyone in etown cares about when playing world class talent is impressing stream monsters so this is for Edmonton’s benefit, not them or you or me or anyone else. Who gives a shit if fanatiq and noel brown destroy locals, they destroy locals no matter where they go

To Edmonton: relax dudes lol

How the hell is writing 6 paragraph posts trolling lol
I got my dates wrong, it was april duels, surprised no one figured it out when i kept talking about justin being there.
Others are agreeing with me, only a select few of you, who seem to be completely unable to understand much of anything, are constantly trying to tell me I a wrong.

My whole question was why bother with an exhibition if you arent even close tot he same skill level? Play a shit ton of offline stuff and learn from it. If you arent trying to impress anyone, why run a streamed ft3 exhibition in the first place?

i suppose its possible he used a stick, he never backed down from a MM when he played sf4 heavily and would play on whatever he could find. he definitely does not use stick often, only when theres no pad for him. regardless, yiu come off as a real asshole saying shit like that, especially in the edm thread where all of us know bee and can spot smacktalk based on ignorance from a mile away. i dunno why you gotta call jimmy stupid, the nicest friendliest marvel player around.

streaming exhibition mqtches provides archived video we can watch so we can learn better. there is a counterpoint to literally everything you said, if you take a break from being an asshole you’d figure it out faster. we juat wanna jam gakes and improve, doing so wuthout outside, baseless, ill-informed, pointless posts would be thx

cc events arent ours, this is edmonton, where we struggle with a scene less than half the size of calgary’s

it’s nice to have it archived so you can watch the matches and how they played against you or whatever. Hell of a lot easier than standing behind the station with a camcorder and uploading it on your computer and then uploading it to YouTube blah blah blah

And, it’s fun!

Wow posts i make on my phone are nigh unreadable sorry guys lolol

Its pissing you off ain’t it? I only made the suggestion for being a fun favtor, not to try to humiliate them.

Point is cam i understand what youre saying but when you lead off wuth that bull how is anyone supposed to take you seriousky or value your opinion man

what bull? the fact i said bee got beat badly? he did and even he will tell you that, id idnt say hes shit or anything I just said he got smashed.
Or was it the fact i said edmonton isnt on the same level as 2 of the best mvc3 players in North America? Possibly the fact that I said you shouldnt waste your time playing these guys in a ft3 exhibition and instead get some long sets in so you learn something. Nothing I said was false but as soon as an outsider comes in everyone gets their back up. Why does everything have to be said sweet and delicately to people nowadays? When I was starting out people would be in your ear calling you shit until you proved something.

the only possible thing i said incorrect was bee switching to pad, which was only said because I watched him play JS and I on stick (as far as I can recall). He definitely did block both ways, which was a flaw in the game, if you are gonna play for money might as well use all the stuff you can. I was merely pointing that out since the only time i saw him play since vanilla was vs justin. So my only incorrect statement was possibly regarding bee’s skill level, which he himself didnt even have a problem with me saying. In fact he said why he lost and has the motivation and aittitude to want to be the best in WC. Everyone else seemed to get more butthurt then the guy i was talking about.

damn the salt in here goes well with all the popcorn i’m pretending to eat or however that meme is supposed to work [details=Spoiler]

Yes I’m not sure why it’s more but it is. Also I would love it if we could use your student discount when ordering the pizzas. BIONIC PARMesan!!

edm has a big pole up their bum

Go reread your first 2-3 posts on this subject, whej you start explaining yiurself instead of leaving snide commentsall of a suden you seem mug more reasonable and worth listening to. the way you open it just reads like another ECer shittin on our town. we’d kill for a scene like yours, too jealous to not bite when someone makes posts like that
