John Nelson, Tournament Legacy, and Team HORI

The funny thing about this situation is that it is extremely delicate and kinda complicated in some of the requests people are making. At this point just a very standard boycott of his events is all that we really need to do if he has done all the stuff people have said (and there seems to be multiple witnesses to all the shadiness.) So really talking about punishment or some other shit is just retarded.

Anything for a quick buck… I’ll never understand how shady ass pieces of shit like that can live with themselves. I was gonna go out there with a friend of mine, but now I’m glad that we didn’t waste our time.

oh yea, that reminded me - i was there for the active gamers incident!
Shady ass Ufrag (now the terminated NGameTV) was there too.
Smash was cancelled
Pay out for SF4 was "short"
the venue was cold as fuck…
supposedly DJ Vest robbed him…
had i known his name i never would have taken part in Rev2011

lol lesson learned!

Excuse me for making an ass out of everyone (I’ll be assuming from this point on)

Money. More pot monsters more pot and of course more numbers to make a so called shady tourney being run still look legitimate because of either ignorance or otherwise.

That could also be the same reason why he’s (F.Champ) is bashing P4A. It is a pretty solid game and there’s more to mashing A 5 times but as far as we know for now there is no big dollars being pumped into it. Think along the lines of at least 7k+. There’s also the whole lifespan of it because of TTT2 coming out and DoA5.

As Jebailey has been saying if you want to send a concrete message, make your own tourney and have it be successful.

That’s no mystery. Champ said that himself.

This is among the best reads I have had on SRK in a long time.
I wish John Nelson all the best in the next community he invades.

there is not enough popcorn in the world. amazing thread.

Screw John Nelson -___-

Stuff like this is why i had took a long time thinking as to whether or not I wanted to go to the tournament since Tatsu, Andy, and Warahk are all good friends of mine. In the end, I made a decision that suited me best since I did get paid for placing last year. However, this is definitely not an organization that I want to be doing any long term business with whether it’s because that John is a scumbag or if he just doesn’t know how to get his shit together. I’m just going to compete.

Ah. I didn’t know that! I don’t really watch FGTV or know of champ’s exploits. I’m just thinking from a “I WANT 'DAT PAYPUH” perspective.

Yeah Champ and JWong definitely got paid to advertise for Revelations. Hella obvious.

He didn’t say those exact words, but he’s made it clear several times that he doesn’t play games that don’t have enough money involved.

J Nelson is now fucking with markman on twitter. HAHAHA! YOUR FATE IS SEALED.

Interview upload is at 76 percent.

Wow…

Eh it’s just the way the world revolves… around money :frowning: I hope they got paid a good amount to advertise Revelations though. We’ll probably find out all of the details after Revelations though :frowning:

Where’s the drama this morning? New York Times isn’t as fun as this shit.

doesn’t justin play kof?

In such a short amount of time, I think I’ve read more perspectives on one topic than anything else in my whole life. It definitely makes this an interesting, if not already regretful, situation. Big props to the KOF community for actually making a stand. As a repeat stream viewer, I was hyped by the likes of fchamp to watch this weekend, but in lieu of the current situation, I’ve made my choice to support other channels and rewatch old streams aka Dr Sub-zero show. :wink:

I know that me, this nobody lurker, won’t make a huge impact on viewership or the way events are handled, but for me, I walk away knowing that it’s still one less viewer than they could have had; One less investment than they could have made next year, had I been convinced to attend, like I’ve decided for final round and ceo; and one less chump that gets straddled for his dollars.

…and gentlemen, I like to straddle my dollars.

I need pop corn… Like… Now…

NCR used to be twice a year until revelations… I remember John Choi mentioning about not being able to compete against the big money tournaments (referring to revelations last year) so he brought it down to once a year because he just keeps losing money. Sucks that this all happened cause I liked NCR being twice a year.
