By the way, if anyone is from the West Bend area and wants to do some casuals my apartment is always open. Just send me a pm. I play MK9, I have AE but am horrible at the game. Pretty bad at MK too but I’m working on that. lol
Skull, when you guys have those casuals on Tuesdays do you play MK much? I want to come out but I’m worried you guys would just be playing AE all night.
There’s a few people who play MK but it didn’t catch on huge here. Nappy and Sammy and Josh play a lot though.

Stick around to the end, you won’t regret it.
LOOK AT ALL. THOSE. WIGGLES.
Carlos, did Alberto finish the flyer yet? Good idea on the raffle ticket with registration. Maybe that will encourage the people that just come and watch to actually enter the tournament.
I haven’t actually bought any of the figures yet Carlos. Somewhere in Milwaukee is supposed to be carrying them but they haven’t gotten them in yet. I may just buy a case of them off eBay.
Sammy, I will chip in towards the flyers. We can discuss tomorrow. Also, Ointments had a really good idea about taking donations at upcoming tournaments that would go towards streaming equipment/more monitors/setups. If we start dong this would people actually donate? It’s a great idea and sure it may take a couple of tournaments before it adds up to purchasing equipment. I don’t expect people to donate a lot but a few dollars from everyone quickly adds up. A little bit can go a long ways.
Chad, come out on Tuesdays people will play MK. I’ll play and I’m sure others will give it a shot once they see that people are coming out to support it.
Fuck Fries.
Carlos, if you really want the Zangief Kid Robot figures this is your best bet. When you buy them at the store they are blind boxed meaning you don’t know which character you are getting until you open the box. Rog,Vega,Sagat and Bison are all chase figures. Bison is the most rare they only put 1 Bison in like very 4 cases. I’ve seen him go for more than $100 already.
That’s the exact set I was eyeing. M.Bison is extremely rare and I’ve seen him sell for 400 bones already. I haven’t been looking much, but if I find a place locally I’ll let you guys know.
That guy actually sold him for that much tho? I remember seeing the auction and he had the Buy It Now price at $350. I bet you in 6 months time that Bison will only be worth a little bit over the actual retail price of $10. Collectors stuff like that has depreciated so much in value due to the shitty economy nobody is going to pay rape prices like that for a little vinyl figure.
Moda3 is the only place in the state that will get them. I’ve been calling them to see if they got them in yet. They told me they just placed their order like a week or 2 ago so it may be a few weeks until we see them. I plan on trying to put together a whole set. If anyone else plans on buying them and has doubles of certain characters maybe we could all trade with each other.
Good thing Chun isn’t one of the rare ones. I actually think her and Ken are the better looking ones in that set. And Sagat.
And hey, fuck capcom for cancelling mega man legends 3. They pissed off inafune and all their other good developers.

Parked outside my apartment. Best part? It’s an EMT license plate.
hey guys, im on a 2 truck move to illinois tomorrow so i may be getting back too late for fight night. ill send texts out tomorrow after i size the day up.
alex and dooku aren’t gonna get as far in their tournament(s) as mateo
i do wish them the best of luck though
I don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s impossible to place higher than first. How could Mateo do better than me?
cuz he’ll top 16 in his tournament
can you really guarantee that in mvc3?
tekken is about the smarter/better player always winning.
alex, we’re proud of your achievements and everything, but yeah, i think it may have gone to your head a little. guaranteeing first in mvc3 is like saying youre always gonna hit the jackpot at a slot machine.
Especially since tokido is gonna win mvc3 or daigo comes outta nowhere n takes it
Good luck out there Alex.
This heat makes me want to buy a case of 40’s.
Alex will make top 16, but I’ll take first. I have the best plan ever: I don’t have enough time to practice so I’ll intentionally lose my first match and run the gauntlet to get as many games in as I can before the grand finals. By the time I get there I’ll be unstoppable. Most pro tactic ever? I think so.
Not really, that’s a horrible idea even for joke. But yeah, depending on the circumstances I think I’ll be able to make it at least out of my pool. I’d only have to win like 4 games. I really need to be able to hit Zero ToD combos for this to work though. Then again, it really wouldn’t surprise me if I go like 2-2 or some shit. If I was unemployed or still in school I’d be godlike.
I might do better in CS2 than marvel, maybe. Wait probably not, I forget that people who know how to play BB actually don’t respect Tager, because you literally don’t have to. So yeah, let’s see how I can do with a terrible character that I haven’t actually played since early CS1. Better going in with a CT+few months of CS level Tager than a week 2 goth loli. Madison should pick this game up, it’s better than anything else we’re playing at the moment. Just saying.
If Justin Wong can’t even win every Marvel tournament he enters it means something. The game is too random to bother with at higher levels. Sure you can place top 16 and be known for having the better use of X-Factor than the other guy but in reality no one really deserves to win anything by playing the game.
And remember. Making it out of your pools only means you get to the top 64 or whatever. EVO is running completely different this year so after you make it out of scrubby pool F163 (There’s gonna be so many people entering…) everyone you play with will have either phoenix or wolverine akuma or wolverine shuma or wesker tron or magneto wesker or anything like that. Also they’ll probably have a way to kill everything in the game with one combo leading the game into a first touch GG.
Making top whatever in MvC3 is like saying you’re the best at drawing a higher number out of a hat while blindfolded. Nobody really is good at a game that is random.
I completely agree. Not saying it takes no skill to play mvc3 but its no where near the level the mvc2 was. I think with the newer games coming out, theyre makin them easier for any1 to pick up. Thats why anyone can be good at mvc3 cuz its all a mashfest and a “lemme cross u up with this random move and if it hits ill just press abc into super”.
Lol obviously I don’t really think I’m guaranteed to win, don’t take me seriously when I talk shit like that. Marvel is far less random than you guys seem to think though. Also Justin’s record in majors is 1st, 2nd, Intentionally lose to Noel Brown for 3rd, 1st, Did Not Attend, 1st, 2nd, DNA, DNA. The game is barely more random than the other top games like SF4.
mvc3 is way more random than sf4… the only random reward you have to worry about in sf4 is a wake up ultra… which yes can be random… but it’s a 1 time block… you think you can out beat every lvl3 phoenix/sentinel? and mvc3 is gonna have a bunch of mash happy scrubs… and you will run into a random hit/throw eventually that can cost you everything
plus you can’t say it isn’t random when you play pretty much only mvc3
i do wish you the best though… at most… you could probably come up in money matches
