MD/VA 3S Thread

whats up ppl. i officially move into this area on wednesday. Aldie, VA. i live like almost an hour from exodus’ place and im gonna be bored for a while, so if anyone wants to meet up lemme know. cuz my internet up there isnt gonna be up till aug 2nd.

(posting on friends comp)

Really, epsilon?

Righteous. :o

ya, rly :o. exo told me about that c3 tourney and i mapquested it, and its only about 20 minutes from me, so ill definately be at that. im excited to play you guys :o. i need to get back in the swing of things, ive been on 3s hiatus, i havent really played since final round.

Robin, Im trying to goto EVO man so let me know whats up with you guys’ flight… I guess ill hit you up on AIM

Same as this guy. Need help plz.

Guys… I’m not going to be on that flight, I’m going to st john the week before, and will be flying in from philly. You guys can prolly split the room w/ us though, Iraq Pat knows the details.
Just go to Jet blue. Pick DC to Vegas, 8/17 and 8/21. Select the cheap fares. Whammo. It’s that easy. I can’t link directly b/c of how Jetblue’s site works. Just do it before fares go up.
You’ll be chillin in vegas all of monday if you pick the cheapest flight… but, hey, always things to do in vegas.

I am tired of hearing about jwong owning evryone in every single game there is

Why don’t you beat him them. Jwong’s dominance is part region, part skill. He obviously has more raw talent than anyone on EC. But with maybe the exceptions of Marvel and 3S… game specialists should be able to beat him in ST, Alpha, Tekken, and CvS2. CvS2 he’s really good at, but the real specialists (combo, buk, ricky, etc) are beating him now. The other games he’s scraping by on raw talent.

Is that supposed to be funny or are you trying to say something!!

My bro and I will be glad to split a room with anyone. ** Anyone who has vacancy for us in their room from Thursday night (seemingly when the plane lands) and Monday let me know ASAP.** I have dollars.

I don’t think it’s a joke. He said exactly what I was thinking. If you’re sick of seeing him win, see to it that he doesn’t.

The 3S scene seems to be strong enough around here that the area should be able to produce a good number of top level players (by US standards, at least). You’ve already got Exo holding shit down with Shinshay not very far behind. There’s no reason why they, or others from around here, can’t get good enough to take Justin out especially cosidering how thin he’s being spread right now. He can’t possibly be playing 3S, CvS2, MvC2, T5, Mario Kart, Tetris, HSF, and fucking World Heros, or whatever the fuck he’s playing right now as much as anybody that’s only playing one game.

robin hit me up on aim asap about the hotel, i need to see about space for 2-3 people, i dont care if i gotta sleep on the floor, i just want a room…

as far as jetblue goes, the flight im looking at is 253 after taxes… leaves wednesday night, comes back monday at 6am… good deal but im a little sketched out by jetblue, i dont see those flight times on any other site :{

Your right and I will be that next top player to stop his reign!!!

Seriously, JWong probably has more natural talent then most of us who have talent.

Play the best to be the best. Move up to NY or Cali. The next step after that is to get better. Goodluck.

you dont have to move to NY or Cali just to get better!!!

To beat JWong, you’ll have to.

Unless some how Exodus and Eric Lee suddenly found a way to beat him, they wont be able to help you much.

Of course you can get better here, but to get serious, you must go somewhere that is serious about 3S.

Fuck this, lets get some casuals at <insert lan place>. You’ll have to be somewhere where you can go to the arcade and always find a huge line of players. But since you’re in this area, arcades are hard to come by, especially ones with a thriving arcade with people who are willing to invest many hours in a game that is over 8 years old.

Other than the people who post on this board, can you honestly name people that attend tournies? Its a dying community and the best players have already been determined.

To place high in tournies, you have to play with the best. I know that Khang and Eric are great players but do you see them ever beating JWong in 3S?

Unless you can beat Khang and Eric consistantly, then you stand no chance.

the truth

Khang and Eric won’t get better unless they have better comp. That comes from locals steping their game up to compete with them. That will force them to get better, which neessitates growth in the player base.

Sure, it helps to have thriving arcades, but there aren’t thriving arcades anywhere. I’m from NYC and I can assure you that CF sees the same players all the time. No different than anywhere else. Plus, it’s not like random scrubs really help build skill in the community. The 3S community is large enough in this area. Hell, it’s probably bigger than the NYC scene. 3S has never been that big in NY.

It’s not like there’s some magic going on, or something in the water in NY or Cali. The players just decide to play at a higher level. It’s really that simple. You have to make a conscious decision to think about more thngs when you fight, and account for all of them. That’s really all there is to it.

Having the mentality that you just can’t win makes no sense.

Havoc speaks the truth. 3S is pretty awful in Ny. Besides Justin, they have Cen and Flash, but both of them are very mortal. I’d put Eric and Khang over those two easy.

All it really takes is a small group of people trying to get better at the game, that’s it.

Btw, 3S casuals fri night…

a) sf mall?
b) c3?

btw. Slogan, jetblue doesn’t sell discount tix to orbitz or any shit b/c they are a discount airline already. Also, those sites get a cut of the profit, so jetblue can’t afford that shiz in the bottom line. They’re a good airline. Just don’t expect grub.

I have to piggyback off of this You do not have to go to Cali or NY just to beat one person. I think it is the mentality of the 3s players.

Its just time for the 3s players to step and start taking over the scene no matter where your from. And not with just top tier characters but with their own individuality and own playing styles not “I watched all the Justin Wong vids I am going to plau like that” playstyle.
