That sounds so amazing! STSTSTSTSTSTSTSTSTSTST!
I need a new Mahvel team…I hate everyone I play with now. Except Jean. Well, I sorta hate her. Maybe I’ll just make a DIY team of Ken/Juri/Hakan.
I also need online play. This PSN thing blows. It’s gotten down to me playing fucking LotRO (and TF2 of course).
This is harder than you might think after moving to a new city where you know nobody.
If you ever want to get some IRL games just hit me up whenever. I need plenty of practice in both MK and MvC.
You need to play some Zero, he makes any team fun!
Also, do you mind out of towner’s coming to your gatherings? I might come down this Friday since finals will be done. (I wanted to go down the 14th, but I realized my roommates are going to Cali so I need to watch our animals while they’re gone)
Sure! Everyone is welcome to come, man! My address is all over this thread but toss me a PM or something if you need directions here. This may be a slightly slimmer week as Pat and a few others will be absent (I believe) but it’ll be a blast either way.
As far as Mahvel teams, I’m thinking Wolvie/Sent/someone. Maybe Akuma as a third…not sure. Zero is a good idea to toss in the mix though. Either way my Mahvel team on Friday is going to be garbage from lack of practice haha.
And obligatory repost:
Again, I’m in need of a ride on friday! If anyone can come get me, I’m more than happy to pay for it! Let me know!
Don’t misconstrue this since IDGAF about mk9, but I kinda thought banning console-specific characters was a no-brainer. I mean, there’s already ample precedence for this (e.g. Evil Ryu in CvS2, and Link/Spawn/Heihachi in SC2).
Quit hating Eric. We know how you can get.
There’s definitely precedent and I’m fine with banning him because of that. It’s just that I remember a conversation when we were all playing the leaked version at Dylan’s about how Kratos would be fine in local tournaments because we all play on PS3 anyway except Johnny, who’ll end up getting plenty of PS3 practice regardless by virtue of the surrounding scene. It’s a line of thought that was carried into the first tournament, and then when Davis wins with Kratos suddenly people want him banned
It’s clear he’ll be banned in national competition, so if we’re following that ruleset, it’s clear he’ll be banned here as well. I just didn’t get the sense that that’s where the decision was coming from, given the Kratos whining immediately following that first tournament.
He should have been banned from the start. There’s no reason to practice with him in a competitive mindset, and promoting that concept was a poor decision period.
That being said, banning him now would definitely be a slight against the person who won the last tournament with him. He’ll now have to learn another character, and it’s not fair that he was told at first that it would be a good idea only to suddenly have it reversed. In most situations, I would say “let Kratos rock until he stops winning.” Banning the first placer’s character is almost universally a bad move. No matter what the reason, it can easily cause drama.
That being said, I have the feeling Kratos is still gonna be banned. If not now, then sometime in the near future. Davis should learn as many characters as he can as a backup ASAP.
Eh, I had said that Kratos was only going to be allowed in the first tourney I had because no one really knew what they were doing anyway. I honestly didn’t even figure anyone would be playing him.
It’s not even about banning him because he’s good or OP, because he isn’t really that fantastic. I’m just lining up with the ruleset of EVO and the EVO series tournaments since that is what most everyone playing MK here is working towards anyway.
I believe Davis is already working on Smoke (or at least that is what GG said) so it shouldn’t be a problem. And like I said, if he wants to play competitively he should play a character allowed in a real competition.
And of course this just goes for Friday things that I host, everyone else is doing their own thing. I do think he should be banned in Ranbats though, but that is up to Zal.
I can get you & drop you off for $20. I want to get there by 7:00 cause I haven’t played marvel for 2 weeks and have yet to put the work into MK.
Done deal. Again, my address is 7405 Cedar Waxwing Pl NW, ABQ, NM 87114. Call me at 480-788-7264 if you have questions.
Yeah, it’s not a problem at all. He has other characters and understands that Kratos isn’t allowed in large-scale competition. I just had to talk some mess because it irked me to see people complaining about a mediocre character when I’m sure he just outplayed everyone.
Truly this is the king of tournaments. Truly.
No need to ban Kratos. He is slow as hell and doesn’t even do that much damage compared to how hard he has to work for it. If anything, ban Cyrax for taking more than half a bar on one command grab.
I guess I’ll be hitting up Dylans tomorrow (I’ll look for your address) and I can bring an XBox set up and a dual mod if you need it. Also have MK on PS3 and MvC3 on 360. I mainly play MvC3 so if anyone wants to play someone new that’s my main game. I also dabbled a little in MK9 but not enough to be any kind of threat.
he’s lying about mk, he got 2nd place last tuesday:tup:
CVS2 and Jackie? Shit man, no need for any other tournament ever! Haha…
