North Carolina Players XXV: So free, so ****ing free

I don’t know why, but this post just made me laugh so hard. It’s so much funnier out of context.

I bet it is. bawdy wink

That guy is so fucking sad, though. Butthurt to this day that he could never beat NC when it counted.

I tried to be the bigger man…oh well…tired of caring.

This is probably the source of my frustration. I do just need to shut up and tough it out. I’m too stubborn to play any other character.

QUESTION FOR EVERYBODY. Does anybody mind if I punch Dark Geese? What about break a bone? Seriously, I’m not joking.

lol you’re gonna get banned Dez

I personally don’t care what happens to that guy, but considering this may be the last Final Round, don’t fuck shit up. Think of all the shit Larry goes through every year for this tourney, especially since he just got laid off from his job. This shit is bigger than Dick-rider Goose.

Everybody talks mad shit online till I jump in and make it real. I make a threat and they back off, and the shit talk ends. Isn’t it amazing…the power of violence that is.

Everyone will play SFIV soon! Even YOU! MWA HAH AH AH A AH A HAHA AHAHAH! Exodus will be forced to play SFIV.

Oh well.
I was hoping for one last big NGBC event at Final Round but all it inspires is massive hate coupled slightly with apathy.
I guess that’s all that left in the game. Bunch of pissing and arguing.
Not even remotely worth the minimal effort.

That’s the saddest part of all this…NGBC is actually fairly popular among US SNK fans.
It’s the best selling SNK game on US console …ever.
There’s actually a sizeable portion of dedicated fans who still play the game. I know because people ask me about the game online and IRL whenever I mention the game. It actually has an appeal to Americans that KOF doesn’t.

It’s just you can’t talk about the game here without “lol Big/Kim iz broke” or erupting into a massive flamewar about nothing. And then there’s the Tung glitched stupidity. Yes, I know Tung sucks but you think when the average player who wants to learn the game see Muscleman do 55% that he’s going to want to play at a higher level?

People are confident online because that little voice in the back of their head that says “maybe you should watch what you say, this guy might punch you in the face” isn’t there to scare them into respect. Thankfully, we have you to return that voice to their mind, even on the internet. :rofl:

And yeah Daniel I agree…dick riding goose made me laugh too reading it with nothing else in mind.

I’ll play NGBC if we have some time to warm up. I’m not gonna bitch about top tier. They’re always there in every game. Deal with it, be the better player, or go to the dark side.

Same goes for people having trouble in SF4. Get better, keep playing, you will find solutions. I was complete ass when I first started, and am still pretty bad, but I know I’m improving. I went to getting my ass kicked to winning some rounds to sometimes winning matches to now pretty regularly winning matches. Just gotta stick with the shit. Think back to when you sucked in other games and stuck with it and eventually got good.

I’ve had lots of times where I wanted to give up at a game, but not anymore, because I’ve been through those times and remember how I felt then, and how I stuck with it. You stick with anything long enough and try to improve…you’ll see results.

All I know is that it is mathmatically impossible for Sakura to beat Sagat more than half the time he’s beating her. It’s always 2:1 ratio Sagat to Sakura. These are the rules. I didn’t make the game.

I’d just say stick with your characters, game’s gonna get balanced and sagat won’t be the broke fuck he is now. Get good with your shitty characters and then when they get buffed, you can beast.

Heh, I don’t mind the tiers. In fact, I enjoy beating a “better” character than my own. Hence, JiBbo in 3rd strike. I was just playfully referring to playing Alex on PSN earlier today, where I would beat him a match, then he’d beat me two matches. EVERY. TIME. This pattern continued up somewhere around 20:40ish. Most all the games were really close though.

Great matches. SAK HAS FRAMES WITH EVERY BUTTON! Woohoo! Kinda reminds me of Dudley. Seriously.

Dudley: Oh, your in the corner on the ground? Let me throw a rose at you.
Sakura: Oh, your in the corner on the ground? Let me throw a meaty fireball at you.

Dudley: Oh, you threw a fireball at THAT range??? Let me jump-in roundhouse, ex-machin-get-you-in-the-corner-blow you.
Sakura: Oh, you threw a fireball at THAT range??? Let me jump-in roundhouse, do some bullshit and lead you towards the corner.

Dudley: Hi, I’m Dudley. Don’t poke me at mid-screen cause I have standing roundhouse > ex-MGB.
Sakura: Hi, I’m Sakura. Don’t poke me at mid screen cause I have low forward > shoryu.

Dudley: I’m in your face and my name is Dudley. Presses ALL the buttons
Sakura: I’m in your face and my name is Sakura. Presses ALL the buttons

See? They’re just alike!

I was saying that Sakura was SF4’s Dudley as soon as I saw the first promo video with cr.HP XX EX Hurricane.

I’ll take that bet and I’ll raise you Meteos. I would MM you in that on the way to Final Round but you ever try playin that shit in a car?! I felt like Micheal J. Fox haha :wonder:
-Q

I kinda relate Akuma to Slayer. You play him defensively till you get a knockdown or touch them with an air fireball while you’re near them, then you go apeshit on offense till you lose advantage, run the fuck away, lather rinse repeat. He even has the easy ass wake up teleport get the fuck off me option.

Only thing was Slayer could take waaaaaaaaaaaay more hits than Akuma. Maybe playing Akuma will make me better at Slayer though.

Also…wtf is Meteos?

something you’re gonna owe me money in.
-Q

I lol’d. :rofl:

Yep… worrying about only yourself and not giving a shit seems to be the only way everything works.

Unless you like self-mutilation, then more power to ya.

1: Chun-li
2: Chun-li
3: Chun-li
4: Chun-li
5: Chun-li
6: Yun
7: Chun-li
8: Ken (hah just kidding, it’s actually Chun-li)

Nc needs to adopt these rules to get pro, yo!

Cept you don’t really go on offense with Akuma. Cuz it’s a horrible idea, seeing as how risk-reward is SOOOOOO far towards risk every time you get near an opponent with him. you can hit confirm off am EX fireball sometimes, but most times your best option is to continue turtling. If you give them a chance to hit you, you might die. He’s really fun when it doesn’t matter, tho.

The economy will get better, but Larry has alluded to ending Final Round for other reasons.
Frankly, like Roski he is a bigger and better person that most of us will ever be considering the massive disrespect and shit he’s taken over the years especially from West Coast players and the SRK Powers That Be that have willfully ignored the significance and existence of FR.
How sad is it that one of the VERY, VERY few West Coasters that has even made the trip to Final Round is fucking Dark Prince? And even then the first year he was there he acted like a total dickwad and almost got Sentinel stomped IRL?
