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

Jason, you should run an AE random select side tournament at MWC. The other day Josh and I were talking about the one you ran when we all went to Miami. It was hilarious to see what characters everyone would get. He said he would love to do that again. Just a thought.

Somehow I feel that I would somehow end up with Vega in a random select tourney…my luck is weird.

I think there should be a tournament where both players pick seth, are blindfolded, and forced to choose between uppercut and command grab untill someone gets a KO.

…oh and do I even need to mention $100 pot for KOF season?

whats the entry fee bro?

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 can’t do it…

The top players only playing casuals for money is just part of an overarching issue. There are a lot of cool top players tha give casuals, not going to argue that.

Not really an issue. If 1) a ton of people want to play you, 2) you’re better than everyone, and 3) some people are offering you money just to lose to you, which group of people would you play with? I don’t think players should ONLY play for money, but if they encourage people to money match them, then I don’t see a problem with it. Hell, if I offered to money match you guys in KoF or Tekken or some other game I don’t play, I’m sure you’d want to play me all day everyday too. Truth of the matter is, at these tournies a lot of people want to play the pros and money talks.

I think the biggest problem with top player/FGC politics is the preferential treatment. And not all the blame should fall on the players. Part of it is TOs polejocking them and giving them whatever they want. And I’ve seen it first hand. I’ve been at majors where they waited 30 minutes…an hour…two hourse for a player to report to their match. Now, let no name Negro Justice from TN be FIVE MINUTES late to a match. They will DQ the melanin out my skin. So now I’m just Justice, no negro, and I drove 6 hours to get DQ’d because I was taking a piss while some nigga with a bunch of fucking letters in front of his name is just chilling by the stream station laughing without a care in the world.

There are a few problems with this. At ARK, we’ve never DQ’d a person due to time. That has led to complaints about our tournies taking too long. However, the alternative is to have differential treatment for pros and non pros. Why not just DQ the top players? Frankly, until a tournament reaches Major status, the pro players can make or break the reputation of the tournament. If you’re trying to grow your tournament, you think DQing one of the top players in the country is going to make them go back to their buddies and say “yo you guys should go next year!” Nah. Sometimes you have to grit your teeth and do what needs to be done because there’s so much on the line. If you run a big tourney with a top player coming, you bring exposure to your region. You increase the size of your community. People start talking about you. They know who you are. They’ll want to tune in next time and other pros will want to come. You’ll get more viewers and then sponsors.

The truth is nobody really gives a shit about the South. It’s our job to do whatever it takes to change that perception.

[L-y-c-a-n]

Smoke,
I agree with the fact that nobody gives 2 shits about the south… Until a few months ago. ARK, TN, and AL are coming up a tid bit.

However,
Fair is fair. I dont care if your Daigo from Japan, or, Mr.EX-O-TROPIA (Get it?) from Idaho. Your late…Your late! Yo ass is DQ’ed. IMO, there is a difference in growing the region, then there is a difference in brown-nosin’.

Eraser - BWUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. you know what im laughing about!!!

Flymike - STFU.

[Fr0st_Blade]

I agree in principle, although I understand why TOs make the decision to cater to more popular players. We’re going to attempt to enact a zero tolerance policy on tardiness at ARK V. We’ll see how it works. I will say that I’m proud that Mike and I have never treated the pros that have come out differently than any other player. We’ve never enforced a rule that had different results for different players.

But wouldn’t that be a good thing? LOL! Josh got Viper in one of his first matches in that tournament, he was happy about that.

[DGA_Gdlk_Rushdown]

Let folks come late at mbb and watch what happens lol

Just sayin

[Fr0st_Blade]

What time your tourney start? Cuz Arkansas don’t like to wake up in the mornin’.

[Squabbler]

The only entry fee is into Fight Night…

What time your tourney start? Cuz Arkansas don’t like to wake up in the mornin’.

How many of you guys are coming? …is the better question first.

[Hiryu02]

GG’s to Sev, O, Doug and Rob last night!

I’ll prolly be at Brinson’s tonight should nothing unexpected come up. And yes I will bring Tekken on 360 plus 1 pad/converter. Though I’ll have SF in the event no other Tekken players are in the house.

[Hiryu02]

OMG a Kuma/Panda team on the Tekken Busters premiere. So refreshing.

Also, whoever is producing this show needs to take some cues from Crash. DJ and dancing girls are pretty extraneous.
