Haha well I can do Sunday, but I also work at 6pm

Chris do you mean to tell me that you are either working or sleeping from Friday 4:30 P.M. to Saturday 11:59 P.M.?

Sunday is a gay day because I have to be up at 8 on Monday which means there are time limits. When playing games I like the only limiting factor to be my inability to stay awake not bullshit times or Chris having to be at work.

Stephan call Arvand and you can talk about doing something but when Chris bails out the whole thing often goes to shit.

When/Where are you guys meeting tomorrow? I may come out and try to convince Chris personally. Also I can bring MvC3 and a PS3.

What time do people start playing at the SAC again? I may come really early today.

Ill be there at 330ish after class

I forgot about the obscene parking prices nearby so I’ll show up at 4 after all so I can take advantage of the secret free parking.

I can haz secret too? o_O

I am currently at the sac you bastards
hurry up.

Alright I’ll leave now.

GGs people. I want to get some more practice in before the tourny in K/W besides next Thursday. Who can help me out with this? :slight_smile:

I’m going to be playing mvc3 pretty much all weekend starting today @ 5. Anyone who wants to drop by is more than welcome (well except for one special douche). Snacks will be provided. I have one ps3 if you want to bring a system I have more tvs.

I’m out of town this weekend but would love to get some MVC3 action later. I’m also considering heading to K/W on the 26th.

HUZZAH!!

I meant to play all day today but my comp died on me and had a quiz to due online. Now my finger is sliced open due to comp lol, gonna go play it now i guess lol

If you mean mvc3 and not ssf4, count this guy out.

School needs to end so I can come play :frowning:

If everyone playing Marvel and SSF4 now? or just SSF4?

I am down for both, because I will be entered both MvC3 and SSF4 at K/W. It is more the matter of trying to organize you people to recognize and be willing to play more then outside of Thursdays :slight_smile:

What is everyone playing in MVC3?

I play team X exclusively (no pun intended) @ Jean/Storm/Wolv

Arvand plays Morrigan/Sent/Haggar

I played stephan online he used Dante/Wesker/ChunORSent for the most part

I heard andrew has some kinda Arthur based team???

First off, MVC3 is literally the worst fighting game Capcom has ever made. Anyone who can’t see the direction Capcom has taken since SF4 needs to reevaluate their critical thinking skills. Capcom doesn’t give a damn about making good games anymore. All they care about now is making games for the mainstream that are CONSIDERED “good” by brainwashed gamers (the non-discerning ones that play anything new). BIG difference. It’s the sort of difference that makes a movie like The Social Network ($23 million opening weekend) receive praise for being “great” (when it’s actually awful), while a masterpiece like Black Swan ($1.4 million) is considered “gay” by the majority of the ignorant mob. Now, a movie like Black Swan will still receive praise from critics (mainly political, as these types of movies are favored for the Oscars) and the few that can appreciate it, but in the big scheme of things, its recognition means virtually nothing. The masses neither want to see it, nor would they be able to appreciate or comprehend it even if they did. Now, taking a look at the current Street Fighter scene, the exact same thing is happening.

It has become 100% SSF4 and MVC3 (the scrubbiest games of their respective franchises). Nobody cares about the great games of old anymore. In a few years, the new age scrubs of the SF community will become the majority, and these games will be lost in time. Why is that a bad thing? Well, first off, because these new games are absolutely terrible. Second off, because these old games are the TRUE representation of the fighting game. Capcom’s continual bastardization of the franchise will lead to SF becoming a shadow of its former self. Don’t be surprised if in the coming years, SF (not only the VS series) adopts a simplified control scheme, in order to accomodate the whiny scrubs of today. Just take a look what the changes SF4 brought to the table:

[LIST]
[]FADC
[
]focus attacks
[]regenerating health
[
]invincible backdashes
[]decreased blockstun
[
]easy reversals
[]Ultras
[
]easy hit confirms
[]ridiculous EX’s
[
]easy teching
[*]hyper armor
[/LIST]

All of these things were introduced because Capcom knew it couldn’t make enough money if the game wasn’t easy enough to appeal to the mainstream. They sold out in order to make a profit, allowing them to sell out some more and make even more money off of garbage like MVC3.

The best part of all this, is that nothing will change, and people will keep playing this trash. The mob nowadays is so well-trained and the propaganda that’s brainwashing them so ingenious in its design, that they’re not even aware of what it’s doing to them. They’ll continue to think they’re in control, and that MVC3 is the second coming of Christ.

Second off, trying to organize (aka force) people to goto tourneys is a joke. Going to tournaments is a biproduct of being hungry and playing to win. Until everyone, including you, starts adopting a fierce competitive attitude comprised of fear, spite, jealousy and hatred, going out of town to get raped will mean literally nothing.

Yeah pretty much sums it up.
