NEW TN Thread: MWC EVO Quals, Bawse Battles, GG, T&G .. Most Known Unknowns

Flymike typed an incomplete sentence on the forum. SCREENCAP

It’s because I actually played AE 2012 ArGay Edition tonight.

GASP…

AND got raped!!!

How lol??

Actually Woot was right. He started watching when Josh said it was 1-1. So final score really WAS 4-4. Omg unfinished business. Even though JoshKoshB’Gosh got the PERFECT ENGLISH, I’m going to go get my strategy guide with Puerto Rican Juiceboxdrink trading card. Completely invincible uppercuts for no damn reason. I ate 'em all too.

Seth vs Seth = Mirror Uppercuts ending in a double KO.

No way in hell that was 4-4 but whatever Mike! next time you come to fight night

Me vs You on the Dax Station FT5!

:u: what Jason said-

Random stuff i remember-

NYC Peeps: Getting Sanford to come here was a miracle…Most of them has never been to Nashville before untill 2 Kits ago and sometimes could not get some to play any casuals without doing a moneymatch…Its like we have to pay them to play us…get that outta here…

Ricky Ortiz: I ask to play him in casual Marvel 2 yrs ago and he just gave me this odd look and waled away…

Sanford: Will play casual sometimes (usually with another top player though)but will want to MM sometimes.

Brandon: Same as Sanford.

Justin: Random…but also MM.

Desmond: Not sure…but when i played him at University pinball he didnt mention MM…

~Those that will play casual w/o hassle~

Peter:Same as Justin, but he does play little more casuals than the rest…

Yipes:The only person I played who didnt really care as long as he is playing somebody decent…but if he gets
drunk he goes into ‘rapemode’ and youll want stop playing lol…

IssacGhram- Will play casual too. But still likes to MM.

Issac{Raekwon}:Will play casuals.

Damdai: Will play casual…

PeterRosas: Will play casual but will make an example out of you lol…

Choi: Im vouching casual player as i havent seen any vids of him MM…

Vegita-X-plays casuals all day…and still playing Mvc2.

VDO-Will play casual unless you ask to MM.

Atl Guys: Will play casuals and MM but at least theres no hassle to get someone to play casual.

Eddie Li:havent played him since 98’, but back in the MvC 1 days, he played casual all the time…then again he is from the old school crowd…

Larry:doesnt mind casuals…usually againt MM .But he too is from old school…

Dont know when all this MM became a norm…

last year Justin,Pete and Mike were going door to door at the hotel looking for MM’s lol

Other Ness~

DSP:All i remember is when he came here he got systematically got put out by all of us if Im not mistaken…lol
[media=youtube]dqeIEqMkEGQ[/media]

That Random Guy That Came Here From Connecticut: Got extremely salty At me and Jason about ElFuerte lol…

Dark Prince: Man i dont want to go there with this guy…just difficult…and when it came to casuals or MM it was just too complicated.he might even say no to a MM if he thinks youre not worthy…cant remember what he said to (ATL) Max years ago but was saying\doing stuff inapropriate…it wasnt trollin,joking,at all it was intentional disrespect…I think Larry banned him from FR but not suree…
After Clockwork took him out infront of everyone was the last time i heard from DP–theres 10 parts to this…

Huh…did you just steal my “JoshkoshB’Gosh” that i originally came up with for my Joshua Spoon monkier? I guess i should have copyrighted that…damn it…

From this moment henceforth…the following pieces of creativity are now copyrighted by me :X :
JoshKoshB’Gosh©
JSparkster©
NJ Shoots©
Sweep Montage©
Negralic Justice©

This list will be updated as i continue to come up with more…shit

@ Josh G.: Ok remember when I won the second match and talked shit? You said, “It’s 1-1.” Woot was watching from that point forward and kept count, then it was 4-4. It does seem like you kicked my ass a bunch of matches, only because of that baldheaded homosexual doing shady shit. You got a PERFECT ENGLISH which edges it out in your favor due to Nigga Law. But you’re an asshole for that chara. Good matches lol.

Nope, not going to play AE 2012 leap year ever never again! So there. BURN WITH DISCONTENT…

@ Eddie: Sorry man but you should’ve put a sticky note on it. I thought young Josh was officially deemed “Chibi Josh” anyway. They’re going to have to share the JoshKoshB’Gosh moniker because Josh G. still wears kid overalls from time to time.

GGs to Sev, Bishop, Adrian, Curious Case of Squabjamin Button, and Sova. Appreciate Sev for dragging me up there along with T basically punking me out until I cave. Thanks lol.

GGs to everyone last night as always

Mike: Thanks for letting yourself be kidnapped and forced into going. Zafina is a cunt but at least you got to pick mains on me dammit. Get that Hei, AK, Roger Jr the fuck out of here. For real though why are you even playing Josh in AE…he plays Kang…you play Kang…yet you guys are grudge matching in SF something is not right with this picture

Bishop: Thanks for showing me some of the Anna stuff I wasn’t doing vs Zaf. Also I hope DCUO releases you back into the world of the living soon. I know how fun that game was, if I had more time for MMOs in my life I would prolly still be playing it myself. The few chances I got to play with Rukus, shout outs to Malicious Benevolence, were too fun

Kinetic: Good stuff in KOF man. Your Athena has gotten much better and I think it makes sense for her to be on point. I mean if she runs through at least 1 char and has 1/3 life in next match your gold.We both dropped way too much shit in those matches though both combos and just general momentum opportunities. We can run it back next week we need to get better for MBB

Jas: Stop being stingy with Puerto Rican Powa thats all

Rukus: We didn’t play but I say you playing Marvel…quit fucking cheating

Abe: GGs in Kang and Tek get at me on AIM when you have a min

Raekwon is really awesome and is just very chill. He will play till either he has to get off or you have to leave.

Damdai will play me in 50 or 60 match set in ST on GGPO but he is not one to give pointers or help new people break down the game. Granted he will not use O. Hawk against me but i understand that because of who I play. I hate O. Ken.

Chris Galeon: He plays quite frequently and also gives pointers and tips on how to tighten up your gameplay. He will also teach new tech to those who ask.

MarsGatti: Is amazing and will do almost anything for new players in ST. I will say he is one of the people who made me really enjoy getting my ass beat but also taught me alot about the game and alot about ST Guile. Probably the best ST Guile in America.

Hahahaha NIGGA LAW.

Eddie - add “Patricko” to the list. Tho, I think whoever came up with “Handsome Pat” my have you beat. Was it Marcus?

The thing that gets me the most about these top players (mainly the jwong era crew) is:

You hit buttons and move a stick just like me, so what makes you better off than me? That you are the almighty “BigFartXXKen” and people know you because you placed 1st in that one tournament 2 years ago and now that gives you a license to be a shithead to new players? I’m sure if I promoted the ever loving shit out of my own name every day for a year, I’d be close to the “Known” status too, but unfortunately that won’t happen.

If I ever ask a pro player for casuals and they say they will only play for money, Ill call them out right then and there. Not because of the game, but because of the attitude. If you want to help out the FGC and train some people, that’s awesome, but don’t ever go looking for a handout from Johnny No Name just because he is worse than you at the game. I just don’t understand this mentality. This would be like Chris going “Welp guys, looks like I am consistently the best in this game, so from now on, it’s a dollar a match only” and everyone rushing to open their wallets (no disrespect Chris because you don’t do this and I love you for it, only an example).

Another thing, why should you have to bend over backward to fly someone out here, only because it “might” bring in more players? Pro players (lol "pro players, what makes a pro player anyways?) tend to, as Jason said, expect things once you open the door for them. Give an inch, they take a mile and the street signs along the way too. I understand that for a top player it has to be a daunting task to make it to every tournament and socialize with all the players, but it doesn’t take much energy to be cordial and say “Sure, you know, let’s play a first to 5” not “Time is money and money talks, friendo”.

It’s just really telling of the way the top players handle themselves. Ya’ll don’t get discouraged about any of this shit, TN is getting ready for a thunderstorm over the South and it’s going to hit like that one movie with Helen Hunt and that dude with the tornado and cows flying. Fuck it, get ready.

Just keep doing what you do.

I can’t teach u the timing for his Instant tk Raijinkin through message but I thought about it I and can give u some pointers for initially starting the combo.
These will make it easier once you find the timing. I’m not sure if you know these things already but they don’t seem to be public knowledge.
Always use D Iaido kick during juggles. It’s always a lot more consistent.

When transitioning from Ex Raijinkin to Lancer do the Lancer as soon as possible. It makes them fall the slowest.
I’ve tested various timings. It gives ample time to do tk Raijinkin w/o feeling rushed and accidentally doing his ground version.

Concering the tk Raijinkin death loop u can use with the A or C version to start and can actually alternate to guarantee not dropping the combo.
I’m actually starting to prefer the C version to start. it especially helps if you are deep in the corner.

Lastly when doing the loop starting from ex Raijinkin don’t start the tk motion until u see the fireball disappear.
It gives greater juggle height than doing it as soon you recover.

I dont really understand why you would pay to fly out top players anyway. Most of them are driven by money and “fame” so if you want them to come which should increase overall attendance just make the pots stupid high.

As for the events on the front page what a joke. Aside from the random bullshit and the funny moments 50,000 Civil War, which was a RVA tourney, got coverage but only cause like the well known EC players were showing up. Much love to Robin and the gang in VA for keeping FGs alive and well but there scene is no bigger then Mem and unless it changed a lot in 5 years is still smaller. I know they pull good players from NoVA and SoVA but um none of them did nearly as well in FR as TN did. It may have been an evo qualifier but if thats all it takes like Dream said MWC should get promoted like crazy. I love FGs and some of the community but many times it feels like a giant circle jerk.

The issue regarding pro players revolves around them trying to make an actual living off playing fighting games. The more you play, the better you get, the better you get, the more money you make from winning tournaments. The more money you make from winning tournaments, the less time you have to spend at a real job. The less time you spend at a real job, the more time you have to play, and the circle continues.

Now they’re in a position of all these people wanting to play them so they can either prove themselves, or just try to get better, and they see a money making opportunity in that. Also kind of has to do with them not wanting to give free matchup experience against themselves, slightly lowering their chances of winning tournaments. Kind of a dick move, but I can’t really blame them.

Can anyone recommend a good Mag ROM combo tutorial to me? I can’t seem to find one that actually has inputs and stuff

YEAH ITS CALLED BEING ALPHA ENOUGH TO GRIND IT OUT IN TRAINING MODE

WHAT IS THIS BETA TUTORIAL GARBAGE

So where is the link to the video in your post?

FYI: KOF Ranbat #1 is next Wed (16th)…
