North Carolina Thread LVII

Is it just me or do we always get new players coming in here boasting their skill level?

We play at EZ every Friday, information is in the first post of this thread.

Just trying to encourage a hit, i honestly think i am free. Sorry

lol if your consider the best then you are consider the best. Dont hold back your title or claim.

Dont be humble like wolfkrone.

I can vouch for Demarcus I used to play him online.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with being humble. In the long run people will like you more if you’re a top player and you’re actually nice to be around. Not some cocky jerk.

If he’s as good as he says he is then that would be nice cause it will make the Fayetteville scene stronger. I just put that post on blast cause I noticed we’re falling into a pattern of new players coming in boasting their skill level then being put on notice. Personally I don’t care either way cause I try my best to ignore those posts but it’s definitely a bad way to introduce yourself into a new community cause it just rubs people off the wrong way. Welcome, Demarcus.


Fayetteville carpools to Lucky’s:

  1. Me, David, Kris, Mikaul, Tracey
  2. Tom, Kevin, Raf, Sandy, Michael
  3. Dustin, Sal

If you’re in Fayetteville and trying to go to Lucky’s this coming Saturday then there’s about 2-3 more spots open in the third carpool.

This.

The name sounds familiar. I think his gamertag is the same. Come out to EZ.

I watched his videos, solid Viper. We need practice against Vipers in NC anyways.

Unfortunately though I was in Fayetteville I couldn’t get to EZ but if anyone has any sessions going on in Raleigh tonight or sometime next week I’ll be there.

good games last night, got an little better ewith rose an oh boy makoto’s was looking nasty he inspires me . . .

I’m new to the scene, but I don’t pretend that I’m hot shit because it would be pretty easy to find out that I’m a fraud, lol.

I think the phenomenon behind it was back in the day before the Internet, people had no idea there were actual Street Fighter tournaments or how good people really could get, and they were able to beat all their friends in grade school who didn’t even know how to fireball and thus think they were good. One you go to a tournament and get bodied badly you get humbled real quick.

Yea I got humbled real quick during my first session. I put in MvC3 cause OJ wanted to play it and I got destroyed in a matter of seconds <<" Didn’t even have time to blink.

Yes my gamertag is the same, if it messed with anyone sorry for my post. I will try to make it to ez next friday and for the carpool to luckys do you mind if i occupy a spot in that?

Honestly, the best way to humble new players is to play them and beat them down, rather than putting posts on blast. Let someone think they’re good until proven otherwise.

I also agree that being humble is probably a better attitude than being boastful. The more you think you know, the harder it is to get better. And as Austin mentioned, people will like you more. I know that’s not necessarily a primary goal for someone in a competitive scene, but it makes your time in the community a lot more pleasant.

I wasn’t boastful but I did kinda think I was better than everyone else because I was beating friends, classmates, randoms online. It wasn’t until I started playing in competitive online leagues and did my first session and tournament that I realized I have a little ways to go. So I decided to just start from the beginning and I’ve been looking at the Newbie thread on learning the fundamentals and I’m starting to not make the mistakes I normally do and I realize how effective good practice is even if I don’t get enough time to do so.

this has gotta stop happening every time a new player says their good, or thinks their good, or what have you.

Yo! I heard Q got beat by some random one time. OYG HYPE!!!

yeah on Calibur 4 online. This is bullshit…NEVER AGAIN!!!
