Michigan - 2004 - June-August

I saw Spiderman 2nite.

Great Movie.:cool:

Yup your right, but hey if I could role cancel and run away like a bitch i would kick the shit out of your ass too and place high, but I don’t I play with K grove and use skill as well as style :lol: . Dont defend it you know as well as I do RC wins because its so hard to get around, you dont need SKILL with your characters you just need to know the best move to use with them and practice till your fingers bleed. My problem is I just choose not to learn such a cheap and easy skill. Please don’t say (if it was so easy why don’t you learn it) there is no point to asking that question.

"Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge"
God said to Job… it basicly means get facts stright before you speak. you act like what was shown was 100% skill based. I will admit the one I personaly thought held any skill was, and I think I am spelling this right, Choy, forgive me if I spelled it wrong. He held Great Skill with his RC and Characters as a combined whole. were as most of you held 90% RC and 10% skill, 80% RC at BEST. Choy held a perfect blend of 50/50 skill and RC combined. like VDO and his Parry, perfect blend 50/50 skill and parry. Look I understand your name is Cheese Master, but don’t use the name and Cheese it this point out ok. You know damn well I am right. I dont mean to insult any of you in anyway I am just making a point that is all, take it or leave it. Its up to you friend.

It was a GREAT movie IF you take it at face value, if you know anything about Spiderman then you should of seen the STORY LINE mess ups they had. There was at least three.

  1. Spiderman never lost hid power due to (I dont know if i want to be a super hero anymore) he lost it because he got over tired, Spiderman is hyper metabolic

  2. Doc Oc did not go nuts from talking to his tentacles. He went nuts because of what happened that cause him to be fused to them in the first place it had nothing to do with them speaking to him telling him to be a bad man, then all the sudden he became a good guy, he never was a good guy. HE WAS the lightest in heart criminal Spiderman ever had though.

  3. Harry turned into the Green gob BEFORE he saw who Spiderman was, when he found out who he was, Harry stopped chancing him. The whole reason Harry even became the green gob was to go after Spiderman. When he found out who he was he stopped and helped Spiderman in a few comic books. In the movie they are making it look like the whole reason he even became the green gob was because he knows its peter.

These are just three main points.

Valid points, but you know they never stick to the comic directly. If that was the case Gwen Stacey would have been Peter’s girlfriend at the time and the first Goblin would have killed her in the first movie, or should I say she died from the snap back of Spidey’s web trying to catch her. Stacey is nowhere in the movie at all. In fact Spidey forugh Doc Ock before Green Goblin:lol: For some reason they never stick to the original plot, but you can’t deny that this was an excellent movie as everyone agrees:cool:

Yes i know, but those are VERY suttal points that can atually be changed and made to make a bit of sense in the change, the points i mentioned were to god damn big to covor up. i mean ok the doc oc going nuts because of his tentacals thing, yeah ok what ever, but the harry plot was pure CRAP. what are they going to do now, make harry have a conflice within himself :oh i cant fight him, but you must, no he is my friend, no i am your father, no he is my friend, hi spidy i am your friend again lets fight together" CRAP.

I am willing to bet any of those guys who placed top 8 could kick your ass with K groove as well. And I can beat you with K groove. You don’t believe me? How’s this, first to 10, 2 dollars a game (to keep it cheap for your case)… and we both use K groove. I will beat you with ā€œskill.ā€ You’re the perfect example of the grass is always greener on the other side type person. If someone wins… and did not use K groove Nakoruru, Hibiki, Bison… well they were using something cheap and unskillful.

And my point was still correct. Choi, Ortiz, Arturo, Wong, and Watts all placed high in ST, 3S, A3, and probably MvC2… I’m sure they roll cancelled their way to victory in those games. Yup, they won with no skill. Its funny how having no skill seems to prevail.

This is also good in the sense that they’re making it an original story though. Seeing that this is Stan Lee’s creation, and that he’s extremely satisfied with how the movie was made, and that he had most creative control over it, you really can’t say that it was done wrong at all. It’s different, it’s alternate, it’s not just putting something on the screen that we already knew was happening. This is why it’s good. Excellent example of another comic (mostly cartoon) conversion was TMNT the movie. I wouldn’t have had those movies any other way (1 and 2 respectively, 3 was alright at best.)

Oh, and sorry Lycan, but all of those people that placed high are skilled. Nothing you’ve said defines what skill is, nothing. Skill in the matters of these games are execution, setups, and using everything to your advantage, and destroying an opportunity your opponent has at retaliation. Skill isn’t finishing each game with a super to get oo’s and ahhh’s, it’s not choosing some character that nobody uses and winning because they were the odd man out, skill isn’t any of the things you think they are. Just playing the game, molding yourself to the game and how it plays, and being creative in which ever way you can (hence where most people come up with winning strategies, or discover how to use a character to extreme advantage.) You have a lot to learn about competitive gameplay, even more so than I do.

And that says alot … :lol: j/k

C_M is right. Those ppl named have skill regardless. RC is simply a tactic used to further insure victory for them. In order for any of us to have a chance at beating them, we have to beat them at their own game, or simply beat their game outright. Those ppl consistently place high in numerous games, year after year. They’re good, plain and simple. I remember my fight with Ricky O. in A3. Mirror matched V-Saks. I put up a decent fight, but his ground game was far superior to mine. All the while, the ā€œHello Kittyā€ plush toy was staring at me…

The only ppl who will really complain about a comic movie are the ppl who know the comic storyline, and want to see it. Understand movie studios don’t cater to these ppl. It has to be altered so everyone can enjoy it. Not that I like that, but its just the way it is. For me, if Stan Lee himself OKed the storyline, who the hell am I to argue?

This entire paragraph shows the situation you were placed in in MW.
Keepaway and zoning, even rushaway are valid tactics in fighting games. Mai is a good example. So, ā€œrunning away like a bitchā€ as you put it was obviously a sucessful tactic that was used against you. So I ask you, Lycan. When you are fighting your opponent, do you not use your character’s strengths to their full potential? Is it your opponent who determines how you fight against him? No, you put him in the most uncomfortable situation possible. It helps you claim victory.

MI as a whole should learn to stop ripping on others fighting tactics, and raise each other to the next 10-15 levels to compete with whats out there. I am aware that I have been guilty of that myself, so take your potshots. It still needs to be done.

You have to be kidding me!!!

Thats the most funniest thing I’ve ever heard! You should not have went,Especally if you thought that you weren’t going to see that shit,But I"ll correct you if you think that they didn’t win/place high/beat you or others with skill.

The shit it not hard to do PLAIN AND SIMPLE,But is very hard to pull off in battle PLAIN AND SIMPLE,Put your self in a position were you’ve got like a pixil of life, You playin Naku and your opp is playin bison,He has a level three bar and does the pycho super KEEP IN MIND YOU CAN’T BLOCK (you have to JD) WHAT DO YOU DO?!? Normally in training mode this is considered EASY!!! but your in a national tourney with alot on the line and lots of people talkin/watchin YOU HAVE TO STEP UP.

So if you do that kinda stuff in the tourney would you like for people to say how ease it is to JD and that all you have to do is hit back which might I add is ALOT less motion than doing a move and rolling with it?!? NO you would not,You’d like to get your praise for executing in the heat of battle,PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

Anyway Cheese plays C-Groove and I"m more than EXTRA positive that he’d be able to be you for free on K-Groove (Even givin random select) But you don’t wanna go that way cause it wouldn’t make you look good at all.

Your a decent player Lycan,Take that for what it is and don’t go down the road of bitchin like VDO (no offence) does about roll cancellin and all that shit,LIke I said earlier IF CAPCOM MADE IT IN THE GAME IT’S OKAY.

MAN THE FUCK UP!!!

VEGAS!!! Yo that shit was SOOOOO FUCKIN FUNNY (coke bottle crack on ole dude) had me dyein over here at work.THANKS

PS: People with them feet fetishes are kinda weird.

PSS: CHEESEMASTER what up on the practice?!? and how’s that guy from new-york game coming? he gettin beastly?!?

PSSS: ROBOTRON,Sorry to bug you but is it possible for me to get that kizzle (hulk avatar) but put in red instead of green? if so and if you remember it could you pm it to me?!? thanks if possible or not.

You are correct, sir! That was my gripe with all the Marvel movies to date…but I’ve learned to go along with the trend. Looks like its the only way I’m gonna get to see my fav heroes on the big screen. We’ve never met Lycan, the guys tell me you are a cool pimp, but I’m assuming I’m alot older than you, and I was around collecting those comic books back when most of you roll canceler’s were pissin’ in diapers ( :smiley: j/k). I’d much rather they stick to the original storyline too.

:lol: - Ha, ha!

I read somewhere Stan Lee (and Marvel Comics) has been paid in excess of 400 million dollars since his movies hit the big screen (counting all of them), it has also pulled Marvel comics from certain doom (Marvel was in financial trouble in the mid 90’s)…I’m pretty sure Stan Lee would ok ā€œSpiderman meets Daffy Duckā€ for that kinda chedda.

**

:smiley: - Ha! It amazes me how video games have become a ā€œcut throatā€ business in the past 10-15 years.

Yup, I’m sure everyone knows those guys have skillz. I just personally think ā€œglitchā€ gaming is tasteless…I say let them play like that if they want to, I choose not to participate. I tell you one thing C_M was absolutely %100 percent correct about, if your gonna compete with those guys for cash your gonna have to learn RC and learn how to defend against it or simply perish.

BTW, I still say Clarence would’ve won SVC Chaos or at least placed second had not Justin used the ā€œoverpowered Zeroā€, some skill (correct me if I’m wrong, but thats who I heard he won with). Make him use a regular character, I’d put my money on the Deity.

Clarence has won alot of respect in my book.

EDIT: Funny how so many people who give gaming advice have never won a major tournament (except at some ā€œmom and popā€ arcade). Instead of critisizing Juan and some of the others who haven’t quite yet adapted to RC, why not up your fucking game? Why don’t you place within the top 16 in the country while playing on any fuckin’ groove?

Folks like TKK, Juan, Chad, Ali Vegas and many others have proven themselves locally and around the country. Funny how the big ā€œadvice giversā€ on this forum names have never placed in the top players brackets in any tournament anywhere.

^ The above statements was not intended to offend anyone.:bluu:


Senator Ivy…

A guy wants to sell me his XBox for $50. Catch: controller port #1 does not work…b4 I purchase it, I need to know if this is something you can fix.


TKK…sure thing, I’ll hook you up.

All I want is to play games I like to play with people that like to play them. So who is up for some gameing? today? tommarow? Monday?

Also, If wizzards got mk2 or alpha3 would you play it?

Regardless of the storyline which is great to begin wiht Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 which was better than the first is the best comic movie since the first Superman and Batman movie PERIOD. It hold that title regardless of the storyline mix up that we really can live without by how well this story is written. I can’t say enough that whn movies are made they are really fro the movie goers more than the comic fan. Eventhough the turn out would be great still if they stuck to the story they make the moivie for that guy who know what’s going on and for his date/and/or girlfriend who didn’t even know who Peter Parker was until the movie. They do it so they won’t have to worry about continuity and just tell a story. When you are dealing with a comic movie it’s hard to tell one story without having to go back three more stories. I think they are doing an excellent job with this movie and I can’t wait for the 3rd.

The Green Goblin was an intelligent villian, but he was more insane than intelligent. So to answer your question Lycan, yes Harry will be battling within himself as the Goblin. He didn’t do so in the book, but his father did. For them to make him a Villian stick to the story that was made for THE MOVIE. But correct me if I’m wrong Harry went insane in the comic too. Movie wise, for himto know that his best friend is Spider-Man, the man responsible for his father’s death will add more character depth.

Spidey meets Daffy Duck would be a turn for the worse I think Stan Lee is happy that this story satifies both the reader(except for a few minor gripes that can be overlooked), and the comic fan. I recall Spidey lossing his powers beacuse he was still mutating in the comic andn he got 6 arms until it passed over. I pray they don’t do that.

For the third movie I’d be a little scared if they did this, but it seems like tey are leaning towards the Sinister Six as the villians. Here’s why?

  1. They didn’t show Dr. Kurt Connors for no reason. Everybody knows he’s the Lizard and he’s already lost his arm so we know he’ll be in the next film.

  2. Villians never die, so we may see the return of Doc Ock, and the ressurection of the Goblin.

  3. You can’t have a Spidey movie franchise without Venom. I’m sure he is on the works.

  4. Add two more characters from that roster that’s been in the Sinister Six through time and you’re all set(Kraven, Chameleon, Vulture, Electro, Shocker, Sandman, Rhino). But this would be villian overload and it would destroy the movie. So we may just get the Lizard who was supposed to be the villian in this movie at first and Goblin.

Well that is all. THE MOVIE KICKS ASS. Let’s be glad it’s not horrible and will become the blueprint for more comic movies to come. Strangley if it wasn’t for the success of the first Blade this would not be possible. But a lot of peopel didn’t even know who Blade was.

:lol: This is my longest post ever, I’m done.

ROBOTRON,This was one of thee most powerful post I’ve ever read!!! PERIOD

Still not to step on your toes,I think that right now when your playin Nationally/Internationally it’s about the win not really about impressing people with A more-less none popular style of play,THIS IS MY OPINION

Anyway roll cancelling was considered a glitch WHEN IT WAS FIRST INTRODUCED anyway now it’s like many other things A TACTIC much like a parry or a just defend (ask any one that plays and they’ll tell you the same) it’s held no higher than the other tactics that are in the game (welp the ones that your givin instructions on how to use at least) Infact one of the top 5 JAPAN PLAYERS uses p-groove HOW? cause he adapted!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE he’s playin on standards that are 10 times higher than are’s and still manages to get top 5 in the country where all that shit comes from,Prime example on how/why we should be usein shit like RC or KARA-THROWN or CROUCH CANCELLING all of it’s effective.

Tellin me not to roll cancell (not you robo,just the general public that don’t like it) is like tellin lycan not to jd,or vdo not to parry, or chad not to activate a-groove and just use level one supers all day,EXPLOIT your opponents weakness OR LOSE.PEROID

Anyway not to aurgue or nuttin,I respect the opinions of those on here but I ROLL CANCELL and find it offensive when someone tells me to win with that isn’t skill,Thats why players like VDO and LYCAN and many others get talked about on that subject,If only I had a dollar for everytime VDO told me I only won cause of roll cancell,Put it this way I wouldn’t work two jobs :lol:

Anyway thanks for the avatar robo.

who talking bout playing some games?

guess i’ll hit wiz round 2 or 3, then the buttefly round 9, and call it a rap. Pratice CVS2 and MVC2 till then.

Your right, Shin.

Yeah, at first it was hard to swallow, but I understand why they left the storyline. I’m cool with it.

BTW, if I remember correctly, Spiderman grew six arms and had to get some kind of cure from Morbius the Vampire.

Venom is inevitable. Your generation became Spiderman fans during that phaze of the comic book and TV show. I’d rather see Electro, Rhino or Mysterio…but I know Venom is what everyone else wants to see.

Robo…

Are you insinuating I am an advice giver without incredibility? All I know is the same MWCs Juan got 9th in, is the same one I got 17th. He was seeded in his bracket (so there was only one other top player). I had two other top players. I don’t care about the specifics. But this MWCs… I think I did better than almost everyone from MI in CvS2 (at least in the normal tournament). I’d say that is a decent accomplishment considering I come from shitty ass Ann Arbor… not the top level of play like Wizzards.

TKK…

Its pointless trying to tell most of these guys anything. Most don’t play the damn game competitively to have a justifiable opinion. The rest are usually grass is greener on the other side type guy. They will never see a win as a win, unless you beat them with P groove Raiden Zangief Joe or K groove Hibiki Nakoruru Bison. They would rather bitch about everything under the damn son than say they got outplayed or the other person is better.

I mean you mentioned that P groove guy in japan to prove something to Lycan. Well dude, all you gotta mention is the best player in Japan is a K groove player. Another top 5 player is a K groove player Rock, Hibiki, Kyo. Unlike Lycan and VDO, these guys chose to the shut the hell about roll cancelling and just played against it and found ways past it or got good at beating it.

Anyways… this people get themselves off a high pedestal, I can’t see them improving. The first step to winning, is realizing how much you suck. Why? Because then you know how much you gotta improve. I’ve told this to Obot. When you are cocky, you tend to make excuses for losses rather than try to learn from them. And you can’t improve if that is how shit goes. But most people on here will claim it is a glitch thats why they won etc etc. I guess they also consider ST Ryu (a mid tier character) a glitch (cuz thats how they won). Or V Sakura is a glitch right? Or Ken is a glitch in 3S right? They can’t answer that. They just continue to harp on CvS2, and I guess SvC. I guess sometimes its too hard to admit… maybe we aren’t good enough. I’m willing to do it… why cuz I know I gotta improve. I don’t know about the rest of these guys.

Yeah, as long as controller port 2 works, that means that it’s the socket, and not the header on the board. If port 2 works, I can fix port 1.

Yeah, I started reading comics when I was 4(wow 1984). I really got into them around 1990-1998 and Venom was in my generation which the movie tends to focus on. Mysterio is a good villian too though.
