Nice to see all the extra goodies coming from that weekly. Good shit, Mike.
Also, apparently my post was deleted, but I enabled RSVP for the MOK thread, so if you’re planning to attend please RSVP so I know how many I should expect. Many thanks. 
Dropping trains on all y’all.

Phoenix…
Blake why you gotta break my heart </3
^For one, I hardly ever used her. For two, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I’m surprised you used her in the finals and not, say, in round-robin. No offense, but she became a huge liability for you, and I threw up in my mouth a little when Alex said “BLAKE’S PHOENIX IN DA HOUSE” when, in reality, she nearly lost you the finals. You soundly beat me 2-0 in round-robin thanks to your good Wesker/Storm combination and play but, without meter/DHC glitch/Storm assist, that 3-1 victory you had in the finals had a good chance of not happening. Phoenix isn’t someone you can put on ANY team…if you do use her again, drop Chun for Sentinel/Haggar/Tron. Wesker, on the other hand, is perfect for her. Good runaway AND pressure thanks to his stupid glock, he doesn’t need meter for combos, he builds crazy good meter, he kills off of a combo and a reset (by the way, DO RESETS), and even if someone kills him he builds a meter and a half just by eating damage. Chun’s a piece of crap without meter or X-Factor and even her assist isn’t all that great. Doesn’t get people off ya and doesn’t extend combos well from OTG gunshot due to hitting 85 times.
Take all that with a grain of salt, though…considering I use Thor/Captain America/Ryu, I doubt my opinion’s worth much these days. 
Yeah, I decided to try it out because Storm has always been my weakest character. I have tons of Chun/Wesker setups that I never use because he is always dead by the time Chun comes out and I can still do the same combos and things I’m used to with the help of the Chun assist. I’ve thought about it more, and I’ve sort of decided the Phoenix style of play does not really suit me (or else I would have picked her up long before). No other characters really interest me-- perhaps Viper, but that would require effort. (Others I’ve tried and like but have not made into a team - Magneto, Felicia, X-23, Morrigan)
Congratulations boys you’re all about to be exposed to a bit more culture. You’re looking at the 2012 dirty cake champs.
Hey Grog, how’s the process of cloning Curtis coming along?
Friendly reminder for the weekly DBQ Versus Cup #2 tomorrow. MVC3 starting around 6:00 ($3), and immediately after is Guilty Gear XX AC ($1). See if Jackie can level up AGAIN like last week and just take all of our money this time. (Tellin’ ya, it’s gonna happen.)
Not just that but I will become The “Supreme Champion Goat Milker” 2012 bet it boys
Hey guys. Registration is open for Fighter X Shooter in Chicago on Sept 2-4. We are featuring top 8 payouts with bonus money in SSF4AE, MvC3, and MK9. We also have tournaments for 3rd Strike Online Edition, arcade ST, and arcade Vampire Savior. Friday Sept 2nd is all special events, so if you can only make it Sat/Sun, you won’t miss any of the tournament itself. We’ll also have a metric ton of giveaways (sticks, headsets, etc) that anyone can win! Please spread the word, get your travel group together, and rep your area at this regional event.

Hey guys, I have some family obligations this saturday so I will be missing the monthly. I will try to run guilty gear next month to make up for it. I need to get my ps2 connections of the stick worked on anyway so we can have a smoothly run side tourney when I do make it out.
Peacers.
So I guess team west lib isn’t coming by I guess see you guys at the major

I’m hella tired, so I’ll edit this tomorrow with the overall rankings and shoutouts.
Edit - Next week’s secondary tourney is Twinkle Star Sprites on the Dreamcast.
So, I’m thinking our schedule will allow us to add more games for MOK at the 5PM slot. I’m adding at least 2. Thoughts on which games everyone would like?
Also, does everyone want a monthly next month? I’ll run one if everyone wants it, but I figure with MOK people might want to save up their cash for that.
Mike…winning guilty gear???
WElllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Good shit.
