If I head down I will bring my laptop with ST on it if you guys are down.
Given the context of Raiden’s post (specifically the part that I quoted), none of the stuff you mentioned really applies. However, I will agree with you that the stuff that you mentioned does indeed contribute to making a more “accessible” game nowadays.
Sure I’ll come but I don’t want a repeat of the last tournament that I went to, expecting a decent turnout for 3S and not a single person entered.
Really, I’d like to come out to more tournaments but nobody plays ST or 3S. I dropped 3S entirely because of the shitty port/online. Since I don’t play 3S anymore, I’ve been concentrating on ST and ToL at EVO.
I feel pretty confident so Summer’s Salt will be a good warm up for ToL. I am also going to money match MAO (Japanese Claw player / SBO finalist) for $50 or $100 at EVO. I’ll probably get blown up but it’s not everyday that you get to play against the world’s best so I’ll give it a shot.
My Boxer has become way faster since Canada Cup so be prepared. =). Oh, will Paul be coming at all? I’d love to play some ST/HDR casuals against him. Haven’t played him since that time I went to Hi-Tech Gaming.
EDIT:
Do it up! I’ll be there for sure.
hey shiro, i forgot my converter & controller at home can u bring urs to ok? leave a message if u can
Yes I will bring the converter as my stick is currently KO’d and I need to use my oooold school stick.
I hope you do well Jeff. I wouldn’t say NO ONE plays 3s just that the people that I know that do play do not want to fight me because they said it’s “too hard” so trying to get them to play you would be pointless. I know dean has said multiple times that he would play 3s again, but the real issue is that what little scene we had for the game before is completely evaporated.
No Paul in 3s and no Moe and no Wes = why bother training. I don’t see a reason in trying to get good if theres no one playing. It’d be like training in marvel if B Love Jimmy and Mai stopped playing. It’d be boring and you don’t have anyone to train against. That is just my thoughts on the issue. I lose interest in playingg a game if there isn’t anyone infront of m in my own city that i need to train to beat. Weather or not I do beat them isn’t really the point, but as they gt better I get better, as they adapt to my play style I need to change it and make it stronger etc etc. The idea of a real challenge. Sadly it’s not there for 3s but I do think it is there for ST/HDR.
You Zack and Myself (lol) did well for Canada cup. I really don’t see how i did so well as I KNOW I’m not very good at the game, but he we still did well. Zack almost took out Real Deal and Ryan Heart. You TOOK OUT Ryan heart and your matches vs Real Deal was pretty close. Over all you guys both represented Edmonton and yourselves well. I didn’t do much of anything and trust me I will train for Canada Cup this year XD
Anyways if Paul was playing ST again I think we could have a strong roster to represent this year. I still wanna play ya since I think I can sneak a win against ya still =p
Yes Falk bring that fucking ST =)
Also jeff start entering Sabins st tournaments. its worth your time to enter them. Hell I did in the first one and got hella far
What I meant to say was, a game doesn’t have to be brain dead easy for people to play it. There are lots of tools now to get people to a competitive level. Lots of those tools didn’t exist in the past. It’s also easier to find people to play nowadays with everything being online.
wtf i took ryan hart out
KOFXIII is growing. SFxT is not. In pursuit of creating a great fighting game, capcom happened to leave their hardcore fans behind. It may get the initial sales but hasn’t had the growth and longevitiy. Who knows, that may have been their purpose. I guess they are now seeing that their design decisions were not correct and they underestimated their need for competitive players.
Oh sorry my bad. Congrats
you ready jimmy? your fucking done son…
LOL I aint ready, but I’ll still take you on
Edmonton Fight Night Ranbat 20/06/2012
And we are live with the first match being TMJ vs 780Gouken
Shiro does Dusk go to OK?
He hasn’t responded to my PM about the TE for sale

Is there a phone number for Overklocked? I think i dropped my phone somewhere during playing.
Wow G fuckin Gs tonight.
The replays are up here
The bracket is here and the underdog bracket is here
The overall results are here
house cleaning shizzle
Spoiler
The cost of the setups was 63.50 and the amount of people that showed up was 19 so the overages was 31.50 minus 5 dollar entry fee that went to 1st place finisher from last season who was Bee. This is a little over the prize pool which went completely towards pizza last week so It’s coming out of the overages for today. The total overages combined is up to 61 already.
We need another AE Disk because OK isn’t replacing theirs. I don’t have one. Can anyone commit to bring their copy? I guarantee you that it won’t get lost in the ether by OK and if you need to leave early just bring your disk home with you. Every little bit counts so let me know. We ran Marvel as our 4th station and it was helping with the amount of people who showed up (19 again yikes), but it would help a lot to keep a station open for sf4 casuals.
Now, Let me preface this by saying I’m not mad at all, and if anything only slightly annoyed. You guys have never seen me mad and will never see me mad cause gaming is my stress relief. So with that said I need to make somethings clear:
Almost everyone was super good about paying, but going forward the way it’s going to work is you pay me before you plug your controller in and I’ll mark it down on a spreedsheet. If you are there for a 15 minutes and need to leave I’ll gladly give you your money back, but after 30 minutes of humming and hawing don’t make me beg you to pay me like I owe you something for coming out. I don’t take debit either. This is a community run event first and foremost there is no debit machine in my back pocket and I’m not getting paid to do this nor would I ever expect to. On the contrary it’s on me if some one doesn’t pay. Which brings me to my next point:
If you don’t have money to pay when you show up then going forward don’t come unless you know someone is going to float you. It won’t be me. This goes for people who are too lazy to stop at an atm as well as people who show up with 3 dollars in quarters. I’m not worried about the people who owe for past ranbats because they know who they are or live in Texas, so that’s why I’m only mildly annoyed but I’m nipping it in the butt now.
On a different note:
The only people so far who had anything to say about what to do with the prize pool this time around was myself and khoa. He was suggesting to payout to the top 4 finishers at the end of the ranbat season. I don’t have a problem with that other than I would probably just put my share (if I placed ofc) back into paying for the ranbats so that’s two sides. Any other ideas? Do people want to start seeing proper payouts for top finishers or is free Pizza the best thing to keep people motivated to come out? Not everyone’s motivation for coming out is the same so I’d like to hear what people have to say. I also want to announce that we are going to hold a raffle to support abd3 at Summer Salt on the 30th. If anyone has anything they think they could part with to raise money to get an East Coast player down to ABD3 then let either myself Bee or Shiro know before then. I’m thinking of parting with my Dreamcast for e.g. cause I don’t really use it anymore.
p.s. Shaun if you’re lurking we miss you buddy where are ye?
I don’t have much to contribute to the raffle, but the little I have I will lol. I also have managed to talk my ol land lord into letting me raffle off a deck of SF cards and a wall scroll he has for sf. I’ll see if he will let me get away with any more “swag”
No there isn’t. FakeSteve and Jordan know people that work there though so I texted them to see if they know of someone they can ask. If they get back to me tonight I’ll let you know but they are closed for the night so it’s doubtful that we would hear anything until tomorrow.
To be honest, I don’t know about the payouts, I’m more concerned about the pot splitting as you can gain more then what you pay, or less. I’m more into the pizza gathering because it gives me a chance to socialize and it would be a bonus if we didn’t have to pay on that day and just enjoy ourselves. But that’s just me being wishful. I don’t mind giving top 3?/4? the prize money, but if anything I’m leaning more towards the pizza’s because it’s way more fun.
I bet shaun went on vacation already lol.
Always been lurking but I’m not sure if I should say whats going on publicly but why not, let’s add some drama. Lets just say my last comments were not well received and I got some insulting pms by a sock account and I don’t feel like coming out much anymore. But hey, things can change.
If you bring your disk next week that would help a lot. That’s two hands up for Pizza so far.
Dunno if this is too little too late but if I had a nickle for every comment I made that wasn’t well received on srk then I’d be able to buy Dalton’s car. All I can say is that there’s zero disrespect towards you from people that show up the ranbats weekly. That Randobat idea was a stroke of genius imo and the fact that you organized and saw it through was very much appreciated. There’s a place on here for people who just don’t care about learning the ins and outs of the game, but it’s a site dedicated to high-level strats so it’s not fair game knock people that want to geek out on stuff like that. For me personally I wouldn’t have as much fun if I wasn’t improving my knowledge of the game. So it’s different strokes and no one should be throwing stones. Also this pretty much goes without saying but anyone pm’ing you with a sock account can suck a bag of dicks.
