I hear NO MAGO (he can’t get a passport) :annoy: So now its gonna be between us Americans and Mexicans for the SNK games (including Ryan Hart).

“if” i win in KOF i don’t want to hear “what ifs”…the japanese are welcome to come to ARCADE INFINITY to test their skillz…quoting from the movie (IP MAN) "you think you’re good by defeating a few nitwits?..wait till you face the best! " in this scenario i happen to be IP MAN.:karate:
Hype apparently = lying or false advertising.
If a promoter said “ok we are having some boxing matches, it’s gonna have all these champions, it’ll be great” and then people get all excited and make plans to go and then it turns out the promoter was just blowing smoke, and it was just a wishlist of who he wanted to show up, with no solid information or confirmation, well he would look like a complete idiot, wouldn’t he?
You got a lot of heart, but no brains. You’re trying to build up a scene you love, grats on that, but you make it look like a joke. Just hold tournaments, it’s all you gotta do. Keep it simple, leave all the bullshit, and you’ll get less hate.
I guess the only thing I can say is, Mago was going to show it seems but couldn’t get a passport. So it was not a lie that mago would be there, simply the circumstances worked against him in this case and in the end he couldn’t make it due to this issue. There is a difference between flat out lying/false advertising and what occured.
It’s like a promoter saying we are having some boxing matches it’ll be great, ten people get all excited and make plans, then the boxer gets into an accident and can’t show. Promoter wasn’t blowing smoke, originally it was said mago would come but in the end couldn’t get a passport no? Not the promoters fault he doesn’t control that.
Honestly the tourny should be fun regardless. Biggest difference between this and a boxing promotion is you aren’t paying to watch this tournament it’s a free side tourny. Go and have fun or watch any of the other dozens of tournies that will be going on at the same time man.
Mago isn’t the only one of DG’s “planned” participants not to show. The point is, making it out to be this great gathering of international snk players when it turns out to be nothing of the sort just makes him look like a fool at best and a liar at worst. None of it is conducive to growing the snk scene, which appears to be his purpose (along with a lot of self-promotion as big dog of said scene).
Personally, I have no stake in any of this, most of these games are crap I wouldn’t play unless I was on a desert island. In my idle moments I enjoy being a hardass when people say dumb shit, though.

what a ***…
Oh a positive question note, Are the 2 on 2 teams still free .
Think me and some buddies may jump in on this regardless but, but 2 on 2 teams (which means 2 chances to get some good KOF play on if you count singles) would rock haha.
Nice to see they’ll be some SNK love at Evo, me and my buds always get our garou and KOFXI/98UM/02UM on and were hoping for some evo love.
Okay seriously, since when was hype wrong. Are you seriously not gonna go or enter just because every1 on the expected list didn’t show up.
Yes, it would have been nice if we had 100% confirmation that every1 was coming, but circumstances come up, no one is 100% guaranteed to show up.
Of course DG was assuming and we all know what assume means. But cut the man some slack, he’s holding an incredibly fragile community on his shoulders. The SNK community in general is very weak compared to others, and I apologize if we aren’t Capcom or ASW and have a near perfect slate of FG’s with larger scale promotion.
I can’t stand SNK haters, they’re arguments are usually baseless, and only pop in to either put down the community or try are games, and only play them as a side-interest. I haven’t seen any1 else try to unify and promote this community in the US, and when the only person that is is trying, that’s all that matters.
Yes, I believe they will still be free
You still need a place to stay in Vegas? Or anyone else.
I have been trying to pm you on Srk since to you asked about the SBO thing, my pm does not work here. :sad:
Can someone that has working pms, ask him to pm me or ask him to email me please. thanks in advance.
Going to drive out there, (4 seater camry) and going to book a cheap hotel with 2 beds to save money and hopefully split gas costs. Considering sleeping in LV hotel on thursday. Let me know if you or anyone else is interested. I heard you were looking for 2 people. If you guys are down to share your own bed I might be cool with that or have the other dude sleep floor or couch if there is one. We can talk about splitting costs.
I am from Los Angeles/ So Cal area.
muzras(at)gmail(dot)com
email if interested, will check back in this thread.
thanks. :china:
HEY HEY!!! so the doubles are still free?? does anyone want to team with me??? ill be on 98um 2002um and kofxi!!
I’m in Vegas now everyone at Emperor Paines.
To Ben Ra- I ain’t the only one talking about the Japanese players coming etc. I get info from a lot of people just like people get info about Mago etc in SF4. But why aren’t you talking shit to them saying that Mago should be coming etc? You have selective reading and you also choose who you are gonna attack, while ignoring the others. Also Ben Ra I did say once again MANY DISCLAIMERS in the first post about such events and people NOT coming right?
That just shows your laziness in regards to reading, something you STILL have not addressed yet. That’s an issue you have! You read what you wanna read and ignore the rest!
So why not go back to the hole you came from. You and I disagree in regards to how to run events. Like I said if you wanna step up and run it be my guest, if not I would kindly appreciate it if you stop cluttering my thread with this nonsense. Once again do you play SNK games? *You said you don’t have any stake in this you said so yourself…so GTFO. U just confirmed yourself as hater…please see yourself to the door! *
I’ve said enough to you, you have selective reading. Talking to you is like trying to tell a DG hater not to hate DG, they are gonna hate me regardless, and the more I win the more they will have to respect me. U don’t have to like me but you WILL in due time respect me! I’m gonna keep doing what I do and every year the number of haters decrease! Why is that? Because I keep handling my business, so that gives them LESS to talk about, unless they wanna nitpick on shit like you do and the others on here have done!!! I respect every one of my competitors unless they disrespect me!
I understand I’m in the limelight so I’m gonna get random people trying to money match me and take me down, but at the same time it should be done in a respectful manner.
The Judge- You are right exactly. I get my info from people, I post up what I know, and keep people updated in regards to that. Also if someone is gonna decide not to go because some bailed out last minute they are just chumps anyways. A competitor doesn’t care about who shows up and who doesnt, he/she brings his A game either way. Hyping up stuff is not lying, I’m saying these people could be at this event, and if they are this is HOW I am going to take advantage of it. Like I say I believe this Ben Ra guy is just a plain hater, I only see his name pop up in SNK threads when he talks shit or otherwise. I can relate him to other outside people that try to “advise me” when they aren’t even a part of the scene!!!
Plus this guy doesnt get it…SNK NEEDS HYPE IN AMERICA! If he doesnt get that then hes the one without the brains! This is a Capcom/Tekken community…SNK needs something to get people excited, and thats what I try to bring it! Once again if he doesn’t understand that then we don’t need to be talking! Its like if we were in Mexico, Capcom games would need hype like Justin Wong showing up or something because otherwise they wouldnt get too much love in Mexico compared to KOF and no one would care just like in the United States and SNK games. I understand this and that is what I am trying to give everyone! But I cannot control who shows up and who doesn’t, I can keep people posted and get inside info like I have, but I cannot drag people to the event. This same thing happened at Raging Storm, I got ideas of who was gonna come, and they decided last minute not to come, can I control that? No I cannot.
Arturo- But he also doesnt know about the other good players in 98UM that are gonna be there like Mr. KOF, me, Oscar, and others so 98UM will have the clash of the FOBS!!! (I’m a Mexican FOB from CD. Juarez lol, FOBS here everyone meaning not in the literal sense but talking in reference to the highest level of play in KOF found in America!) Sorry to hear you cant sign up for 98UM but I appreciate you getting back to me. I am in Las Vegas right now just arrived and trying to rest up and catch everything before tomorrow when things get going!! Mr. KOF says they are down for the West Coast battle vs. East Coast. We can’t just have Chris Hu going against Mr. KOF and the rest can we? If you wanna do that then we can do that, Chris Hu (NYC/AI) vs. Mr. KOF, Oscar and AI…
Also Mr. KOF is MASTER FOB Status too Arturo from AI what I hear so 98UM is gonna be popping!
Matter of fact I’ll set that up and make it happen…EXHIBITION…not a money match…Wiz is serious about the MMs…I will not get ejected on the basis of this!
Bring your A game everyone!
**Mr. KOF- **Man I sleep on no one so I hear yah! They shouldnt sleep on us and surely shouldnt disrespect anyone saying they’ll go “random select on anyone and win!” unless they are disrespected and there is no such a thing! This is the type of hype I do NOT like, lets keep it clean without the insults…once the insults get in things could get personal, and I do not want that to happen, I want this to be in good, clean fun!
Chris Hu- I dunno how our money match is gonna happen because its serious business at EVO about no money matches and I will not get ejected because of that! We can have an exhibition match or something ft10 but I wont do any money matches in EVO and cost myself getting ejected from EVO, which will cost the SNK community greatly, and is selfish. I dont do this for the money, I do it for the community. It’s just not worth the risk to the SNK community. Now we can do it in another room or something, but otherwise no.
Syphuse and YYSHU- Doubles and Teams are free yes they are!
Now I would suggest you all put Ben Ra on ignore, he is cluttering my thread. You all notice someone always tries every year with some angle to talk shit!
-DG
Just a final reminder- KOFXI Singles start promptly at 9:30 AM!
