Edmonton Thread - 2012

Dead side light up the place
Aaaaaaand if you pulled my card you pulled the ace
And if you ask me turn up the bass
And if you play Defender I can beat ya in hyperspace

Fuck still in Winnipeg. Does Vegas have a marvel scene lol ?!?!

insert coins might be worth checking out, it’s on fremont

You guys have nobody but yourselves to blame for why your community is the way it is, and also why myself and most of our more accomplished players no longer want anything to do with it. It’s a chore to hang out with you guys, Cam is right, you guys care way too much about proving yourselves through meaningless money matches and pointless endeavors than actually learning and improving, which for a hobby you invest so much time in doesn’t make sense to me.

You guys want the truth? I’d rather hang out with friends and play Monopoly than play Marvel with a bunch of guys who get a raging hard on every time they come close to beating me, dismiss any friendly advice I give, or are nice to my face but talk shit behind my back regardless how big of a skill gap there may be. I know where I stand skill wise, for the last year or so I’ve lived a life most could only dream of, I don’t feel the need to prove anything, I’ve accomplished more than I ever thought I would, and I’m much better now than I was when I competed.

Bee made a fool out of himself against Justin, he may be skilled but his ego will prevent him from ever reaching his full potential, and to be honest he’s the only one that really has any, but leeching off an exceptional player can only get you so far, he himself knows this, as does Mai. While I admire the audacity you guys have, I feel like it’s overcompensation at this point, not to mention misplaced, but to each their own, knock yourselves out. But as your friend Bee I highly advise against biting off more than you can chew, in all honesty I would not bet on you against east coast at your current skill level, just as I would not bet on Joker against Fanatiq. I know my limits, you should know yours, no offence. Of course I welcome you to prove me wrong, it’s one bet I’d gladly lose, I’ll still cheer you on regardless.

Anyways, hate to dodge and run, but I think I’ve said all I need to say. And just to clarify, I don’t hate you guys, in fact some of you I’m actually quite fond of, I just prefer to keep my daily drama to a minimum, nothing personal.

oh shit

At first I thought it was Khoa, but I think it’s Dean. In any case, yay sock accounts!

Dean lacks that level of mastery over the english language LOL

That’s Dave. I wasn’t sure before but I’m positive of it now.

sigh. You have no idea what a loser you paint yourself out to be. #sociopath

honestly I know what’s stopping me from becoming great. it’s the ppl around me or lack of. The fact that you left the scene because of words from people you don’t even like is weird to me. I know ppl talk smack about you man , but you are not innocent urself. Ur my friend , but when it comes to video games ur the biggest video game snob I know. I play anyone and everyone in the scene whether they suck or not I still give constructive advice and Ill always play with a smile.

I play based off motivation and excitement.
If those 2 factors aren’t involved then neither am I. Hence the MMs against anybody on the planet.
If I commit my time to a game then I wanna be the best and if you wanna be the best you need the drive and a big ego. Ill request all the MMs i want because theyre exciting and they give me purpose in the fgc. Seriously lol I have a.d.d I swear. If it ain’t interesting then I really could careless. getting bodied by jwong was whatever to me. I’ll gladly play him again I know what I did wrong and I fixed it.
U know I quit umvc3 , but this is an awesome reason to play again. Thx

Dave don’t try to come in all humble bro. Youre ego is as big as mine it’s just your balls aren’t as big so to speak lol. I say shit that you’re too afraid too say. You take the whole gaming thing to seriously. And all that shit you accomplished? I’m pretty sure if Lapchi paid for all my travel expenses I would have accomplished just as much if not more, but sadly you left a bad taste in his mouth so he’s full of doubt for the rest of us. Doesn’t take a random win vs marn anymore.

Mai where are you lets play again lol! I got a new team !!! Dave you come play too u chode. I see u everyday on the road lol.

Fuck east coast!!! Anyone wanna help me make a ghetto YouTube video to call out east coast.
I’ll bring a 5g stack as well make it look bawwwwwwwllinnnnnn!

I read this thread for a week and nothing happens. I stop reading for four days and suddenly there’s 4 pages of shit talking!

What part of what Dave said was humble?
It wasn’t this:

Not this either:

Or this:

Especially not this:

Bee I’ve never heard you say shit like this.

Who am I leeching off of ?! Da hell?

Dave was implying you were leeching off him and mai was leeching off you.

I leech off raiden, who is my skill coming from by proxy?

anybody wanna jam sf4? txt me or post here :smiley: eddy my roommate wants you to come over and teach him makoto

honestly, i’d like to see more people teaching other people stuff like safe jumps, frame traps, set ups, etc. cuz there’s a lot of stuff to learn.

here’s a basic guide by gootecks

this one’s for the cody player, i saw momochi set this up a few times
safe jump after ultra combo I
forward dash, stand LP, jump
but cody’s easiest safe jump is off of backward throw… just jump… works on 5F+ reversals
