North Carolina Thread LVIII

You should do a 3v3 or 4v4 since it’s smaller. Besides, there are never 5 highest placers. There’s Top, Top 2, Top 3, Top 4, but then it jumps to Top 6 and Top 8. There is no Top 5.

I’m seeding the bracket based on the last tournament so random blow ups like that won’t happen. I’d rather avoid calls of favoritism where people are like “a yo I’m just as good as him but you only picked him because he’s your friend blah, blah, blah, etc.” Depends on how everyone else feels.

Oh snap, you’re right. lol, if there’s a draw situation they’ll just play a best of 1 for the spot. It’s just a little exhibition SC is interested in, it isn’t like it’s uber serious.

Don’t you know how regional teams work?

95% of the point of regional teams is the drama and squabbling over who gets a spot, and then once the team is actually picked, 1 person usually doesn’t show up, and the rest don’t really care about playing it anyway.

This is what I was talking about. Why isn’t it uber serious? Everybody put in 20 bucks. Make it interesting.

Time to play AE again bahaha

Just gonna leave this here

Does more than build meter…

If you’ve ever played him, don’t act like it’s not the truth.

I’d agree that it would probably be best to pick participants…if it matters that much. I guess if it’s not a big deal it wouldn’t matter anyways. I should be at the session tonight Jon, and Raf tells me he’s gonna come up with Will as well. Oh yea, and I won’t be able to make the EZ tournament as I’m going to be going to Indiana for my Frats 100 year joint. I know how dissappointed you are Jon…I know how much you just love to see me in tournaments. lol. Guess I’ll have to save my elite super dynamic gdlk combo’s for another time. :confused:

Very much down for this.

AFAIK the match-up plays out the same in AE except for the post-ex-hand situation being a different kind of mix-up. I probably feel Ryu’s cr.mk nerf there more than any other match-up, though.

Also, are you on XBL? I know online is online but I’m down to play a huge sesh just to get match-up knowledge regardless.

lol i agree. just wait until my gief levels up

What’s this? Zangief is evolving?

congrats! Zangief evolved into LOLITHROWU

Damn, Raf AND Will? Sounds like a night. Also I’d actually like to play you some more in tournaments so I can see if that wasn’t just a fluke in finals there =P

But I guess taking a break from the cowardly robot and his two slutty friends might be nice just for one tournament haha

Aw, sorry Jon. I’ll be there next week.

Assuming someone can get me there anyway. I’m thinking about buying a scooter or something lol.

Anyone playing in Charlotte?

We need a good samaritan willing to host.

doing cake/gifts now. im trying to make it out but its not looking very good for me, im sorry. sucks though because things sounded like they were gonna be awesome.

so true story. my gf has been killing herself to get me a gift, and i told her that im not a “lavish” gift kind of person. im a practical guy. so the other week while intoxicated we have an argument because she says im too conservative and she shows me what she got me out of anger. she had bought me a damn $300 russell simmons bracelet. and is not that i didnt like it, but i tried to explain to her that im not a jewelry kind of person and on top of that, its $300 for a SINGLE ACCESSORY. yeah i wear a nice watch, but a watch isnt a bracelet. so she takes it back.

so today she gives me my new gifts. and lo and behold she ends up spending more on a new PlayStation 3 slim (even though I already got one for myself) and an authentic Blade sword. this thing is pimp as shit, its got the hidden blade in the scabbard and all. but dammit…its still not a practical gift.

help me. i dont know what to do here. how do i say “thanks but no thanks” nicely? i mean i give it to her, shes very attentive bc a few weeks ago i mentioned wanting to update from my 60gb system (right after Blake’s incident) so i give her credit, and she knows i love the Blade movies and the character but this stuff just isnt me, know what im saying.

It’s not just about you, I’ve been in this situation before and the truth is it’s just as much about that person and what they want to give you and what they want you to know they feel about you with the gifts they’ve chosen.

Rejecting a gift can get internalized in pretty weird ways. If you’ve already had an argument over it and it’s not going to ruin her finances, this is one of those things that’s probably better to let slide. I mean, people out there have way worse things going on in their lives than being given swords. The ps3 is different, you already have one. That’s cut and dried.

also makes almost everything you do on wakeup useless… oh yeah and if you dont do anything you get command grab that has a fast ass hell recovery if he misses. win-win situation.

EDIT:forgot quoting images is against rules.

Wakeup Demon, just do it.

Just stopping by to invite the great state of NC up for Virginias largest tournament of the year: civil war 3.

I know mr Chadwick (knuckledust) is coming, who else is rolling deep?

RSVP on Facebook

Or SRK:

We got killers Sabin and Min from NY.

Moose and Steve Harrison will be there, not to mention VAs “finest player to drop 50% of his combos yet still make it to grand finals and reset it at a major”: RyRy.

Oh yeah, it’s also in an arcade you can drink at while playing on our cabs for 3s, cvs2, st, mvc2, umk3, puzzle fighter, or neo geo (garou). They’ll be on free play.

Just so people know I’m having people by Friday night if anybody wants to get some MvC3 and perhaps some AE in. Totally stealing someone’s shit but lets do a spreadsheet lol

I was just reminded today of how easy Sentinel combos are in this game. Boots.

i’m with you on this, i run into this a lot. i’ll get a gift and I keep thinking about how much they probably paid for it VS how much I COULD have gotten it for if i was looking for a deal on it…but at the end of the day, it’s just easier to keep it.

as for the PS3, if it’s not too late, can you take back the one that you got yourself? then you don’t have to deal with the SO having to return a present or whatever.

anyway, sounds like you got a special lady that likes to spoil you…that’s a good thing! :slight_smile:
