Iowa: Maize of Defeat

Doesn’t look like I’ll get that day off, better luck next month.

Fellas, it was awesome that few of you made it out for the last Maxout.

Well, we’re doing it again, and it’s coming soon. The thread is up, and we’re doing is on July 23rd this month.

The thread is here. Hope to see some of you guys again!

Hey Hayden if you can, check your inbox!

Thor is my new favorite shitty character.

Mike Connolly is my new favorite shitty character.

BURN

Oh shit I just got lit the fuck up :frowning:

Hogosha’s in another time zone…

:slight_smile:

You always do tend to pick the female characters.

Hey, in my defense, they usually tend to be the most fun. (Also, tits.) Oddly enough, though, my favorite ever low-tier character is Twelve. And that’s weird for me. A non-human non-female character, dumb storyline, no personality, and match-ups that rank among the absolute worst in that game…and still my favorite above even Jun, Lilith, Elena and Vega.

That post was aimed towards Alex… since Mike Connolly is his new favorite shitty character.

Oh, my bad, I thou—HEY.

I was wondering why you weren’t playing him when I saw a match on Youtube of you from UFGT. I don’t think it can get any shittier than him, maybe cap but that’s debatable.

We don’t really do a weekly tourney or anything, just casuals a couple of times a week. We usually play every Tuesday at my buddy’s apartment behind Charles Gabus Ford on Merle Hay Road and Friday or Saturday evenings at my house in Des Moines near Altoona. We’ve got an HDPVR and a mic to record matches/commentary. I would love to get enough people to start doing a monthly tourney in Des Moines though!

Back then I actually wanted to compete at UFGT. Then I ran 24 hours of pools and kinda threw that idea out the window.

As far as Thor being the worst in the game…Cap, Hsien-Ko, Haggar, and Arthur are all worse than him in my opinion (Haggar is debatable, if only for the assist), and if it wasn’t for DHC glitch and OTG assist I’d put Deadpool there as well. Thor, oddly enough, HAS a lot of tools. Like, for some odd reason, nearly ALL of the tools that exist in the game. Unfortunately, they’re also the shittiest in the game of what they are. DHC glitch in (not bad) AND out (…but off of a throw), a tri-jump (worst in the game, but it’s a fucking tri-jump), flight (again, worst in the game at using it), a beam (worst in the game), an OTG assist (…worst in the game), and the potential to OTG by himself and combo a super after (good fucking luck though with the combo). What he has that DOESN’T suck, however, is a command grab for huge damage, a lvl 1 command grab super, and the ability to reset after an OTG (though nowhere near as well as Wesker or Mags). Add in good health and damage and he might be the best low-tier character in the game…and if not that, then at LEAST the most interesting.

And that is why I love Thor. Because he’s the funnest time you can have while getting your ass kicked.

How old are most of you Iowan players? I just got SSF4 AE, haven’t tried it yet, but thought it was cool that there’s a scene in my area.

We’re all 12.

Also: who’s going to this? http://www.fathomevents.com/upcoming/locations/52411/07/26/2011/Originals/event/tekken.aspx

It’s on a tuesday and I don’t know if 20 min is worth a few hour drive.

Thought so.

Change of plans. I CAN actually go to the tourney on Saturday, one of my co-workers decided to switch last minute. :sunglasses: Don’t know about a monitor, but I can bring my PS3 and a stick, even an extra one if anyone needs it.

We range from 15 to goddamned ancient. Remember how people think God said “Let there be light”? I flicked the effing switch. Klaige watched.
