I feel what you’re saying. Inviting them to a pwning would be discouraging, so my solution is to have they fight against Branh so they won’t feel so far away (you been too quiet lately Branh, you know you’re my boy). But seriously, yeah. If one or two join, that’d be good enough for me. I’m not trying to baptize and ‘save’ a huge clique of newbloods and unfamiliar faces. There might be a couple diamonds in that rough tho, we’ll see. Someone said they were goin Friday, so I might check it out since I’ll be on the southside for the weekend.

Yo LilK, what side of town are you on?

JasonL:

It’s ok Tim, I’ll be sure to let Clint and Big Boi know you play smash. You will never hear the end of it:lol:

I don’t want to discourage you or shadow ace from doing what you guys feel. It’s true you were not competitive til recently. And it’s is true everyone started out as casual.

That being said, casual players are not converted to want to be hardcore players by sending people on a really high level to wipe the floor with them. It’s overall discouraging.

I have found that new players are drawn in by coming up with newer players or translate from high level from one game to another like tim is doing from smash to sf4.

In this case since your a newer player you’ll be a better ambassador.

But odds are that if there are 30 players there playing maybe only one or two will continue in the fashion you want them to, if your lucky. Odds are the scrubs you beat will give up and the scrubs that scrub you out will feel they are superior to you so they have no need to listen about higher level play when they are already there over you. A bit grandiose yes, but that’s what casual players usually are over fighting games.

To be apart of this community, you have to accept the process to getting better and have to have to drive to see it through. Just living in ATL, near ATL, doesn’t make you apart of the ATL competitive scene. Just because you go to a bowling ally because you think it’s fun to go and bowl a 70 with the friends, doesn’t make you apart of the competitive bowling scene. The truth is most these guys if any will not accept what it takes. Being apart of the scene is not just a given from location. I would say a good number of people who post on this board are not really an active part of the scene. You earn your membership by being active.

I understand the concept of reaching out and it’s cool that your doing that. If that’s your reason to go than that’s a good idea. But remember you came into this thread, looking for the comp, and you came to the tourney with the idea of trying your hardest to see where you stand. That’s how an addition to the community is really found. People who have the drive to practice, deal with the beat downs, go to the tourneys, travel in state AND out of state to get better usually look for us and stick with us. Those who are evangelized might stay but they probably won’t, that’s really the point Iceman was making.

well said:tup:

Shadow,

hopefully you come back with good news from gamersxperience(?) hopefully there a couple serious players there. depending on the size of the group, i might be interested in going there again. tried looking for some comp there about 2 years back but there were like 2 casual players:crybaby::crybaby: hopefully it has changed a little.

Congrats on the hitch joel!

ShinBlanka · May 20, 2009, 5:14am

congrats and your welcome to come over joel with mike. I just need to make sure the wife doesn’t have anything she wants to do on saturday before i give the go ahead.

Branh0913 · May 20, 2009, 5:18am

LOL, I’m definitely no scrub. I can still beat active practicing players with no practice at all. And this may be due to my cumulative fighting game experience overall. I just know good fundamentals. But overall I’m not that good YET because I really don’t practice.

Bananas8462 · May 20, 2009, 5:45am

^And here I thought we would never have to subject ourselves to this again…

Congrats Joel. Nobody told me :lol:

We could easily get down on some Marvel when I get to EP, possibly on Friday (since some people seem to want to do other things on Saturday).

Congrats Joel! :tup:

I was just wondering about Friday because I was thinking I could have people over at my house and throw a little gathering. But since it looks like several people will be going to East Point, I might just do that as well.

Bananas8462 · May 20, 2009, 9:59am

Well, Derek, if you’re willing to actually show up, you’re welcome to also carpool with us :lol:
