Put Rufus in so I can use Rufus x Bob ._.
Sure, I guess I’d be carpooling with you, I think John is filled to capacity. Let me know how much you’d like for gas money ;]
Sorry, but after reading some of the posts it seems that people assumed wrong as to my intentions behind the NC player ranks. It was to help me weed out the serious players from the non ones in certain games. It was in no way to help pin down “Who’s the best in NC,” considering how pointless that type of ranking would be for me. Before I decided to play fighting games competitively again I had set a goal in mind first, because the last time I didn’t and became very bored and went on to FPS instead. I don’t have time to waste so I would rather focus it on things and players that can help me improve.
I won’t rant on about my history before I decided to stop playing fighting games competitively, but its part of the reason why I today don’t accept that any player is too good for me to beat. NC or not. All the people I’ve met at the previous sessions are really cool people and I’m happy that I was not only able to play with them but also learn a lot from them. Off the sticks we can be best of friends, but on them to me you’re nothing more than an opponent. The excuses I made of “I don’t ever practice this game” or “Its just too boring for me to even try” ended yesterday, so if I lose the reason is because I’m just not that good. Don’t get mad, get better.
Aaron took 3rd at a pretty large regional in Cleveland earlier this year. The only two people who beat him were people he plays with, both of whom play Phoenix (Toiyet and some other guy). I’m not speaking out of my ass on this one. He’s seriously strong.
That’s the whole reason why I’ve been trying to get out to as many sessions as I can. I thought I was the only one who was actually looking beyond NC.
I’d like to start hosting weekly summer sessions on Saturday starting on June 4th between 2-9 if you all don’t mind. I have 4 tvs available for use.
I’d do it next weekend but that’s Animazement, which I’m sure to see most of you there in the Arcade as well.
You may want to get more involved in the community before making any assumptions, your approach will rub people off the wrong way.
I’m down with it if its a go.
lol it’s looking that way
No offense, but if you’re who I think you are (The dude that popped off on Jon for staying on the TV after losing a match, even though he won the set and nobody stepped up to play next at the time), then you need to set your sights a bit lower to start out. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but your game is in need of some work. That said, the sessions around NC are perfect for that. You can get experience while learning about the game from players that are doing the same thing you are. You should be looking for any comp at this point; being picky is only going to slow your growth.
I understand and do apologize if I have rubbed people off the wrong way, but I’m not the type to try and kiss up to people with hopes that they will like me. All the laughs, jokes, games, and outings are fun, but at the end of the day I still look forward to the competition. I won’t rant too much, so with that said I will keep your words of wisdom in mind as I progress.
Uhhhh so…Im working on rides for the 21st tourney, but nothing is certain. Anyone willing to swing by Duke and nab me : [ ? This will be my last tournament in NC :tdown: and like always…i have gas and food money!
Edit: Also taking any and all MK9 money matches >:{!!!
First off, the reason I got upset was because I called next two matches prior. They would immediately start the next match and not get up. After tired of waiting Jon happened to be the one who lost that single previous match so I directed my frustration at him. Had I have known that house rules were to just unplug loser’s controller and sit down to play I would have done that instead.
Secondly, for about the past week or so I’ve been trying to find people to play sessions with. Only Corner-Trap and Demo have responded with the just previously Keith. CT and Demo stay too far and with gas prices and the fact that I have other obligations that I drive out to every week my pockets run too thin for that unfortunately for me. Luckily Keith stays closer and if worse I can see if Jason would let me play some AH3 if no one shows up. Someone else mentioned about doing Saturdays so with those five I’m gonna focus on those.
Third, not counting yesterday I haven’t practiced MvC3 once. The only time I ever played the game was at sessions. But again, I said no more excuses so I’m going to keep that in mind. The only fighting game I’ve really played this year has been T6 with maybe a little bit of SSFIV and AH3, but not enough to call worthy practice.
Although I’ve successfully ranted I will keep your words of wisdom in mind as I progress. Thank you for the advice.
With all that said if Jon is reading this then I apologize for the way I acted that night at NCSU. It was uncalled for and handled poorly by me. Again, I apologize. :’(
xS A M U R A Ix, sorry I couldn’t make it out yesterday, life got in the way. I might try to make old man doom’s sessions next week if he’s holding them. He’s a little closer.
BTW are any other GSO guys here going to that UNCG meetup tomorrow?
I want Mecha-Zangief and Alisa Bosconovitch so I can have team soviet commubot.
Also, they have to put in Kuma. They have to. So Zangief can FINALLY fight a bear.
I had a session on Monday night at my place, and John had a bunch of people at his place last night. I may have to cancel this Monday but next Monday things will be back to normal. That’s 2 consistent sessions a week close by to you, and you are welcome to carpool with me whenever I go to elite zone which is looking like twice a month + the tournament.

@EpicNikki it’s about $20/$25 to get there and back so just divide that by the amount of people in the car for gas money. I’ll PM you my number.
Anyone else looking to carpool I have 2 more seats open.
how much? send me a PM, also, PS3 or Xbox? I might be looking for PS3 for a friend.
I play Mortal Kombat poorly.
Also I got another Saber Figurine so that brings the count up to 9 now.
I need to find a second now for MK.
Also also Baldur’s Gate series of CRPGs are amazing.
Oh yeah I will be going to EVO too, who else will be attending.
Thought brent was looking for some people to attend
Nooooo!!! You haven’t tapped into Joe’s true power yet!!!
BTW who does Aaron play in MvC3?
