What’s up guys I am in the RDU area (Durham) and would like to play some offline sessions and attend more tourneys. I play AE and I am always looking to level up, and learn new match ups and tactics (what to do and not do). Think it would be awesome to play with people in the scene in NC (if they are they are within driving distance). right now it is just my and like one other friend that play on a regular basis. So if anyone is doing AE in the RDU area can we join?
Welcome. Luckily being in the RDU area means there are gatherings happening all the time around you. Check the first post to see who runs and just skim through the last few pages to see who has confirmed they’re running a gathering this week. Then just send them a PM making sure its cool that you show up (this isn’t required, but it will go over much better than your being random person showing up at someone’s home). Then show up, be chill, ask questions, and generally act like you have some sense and you’ll be welcomed into the community.
Thanks to Josiah for having us over, it was a nice session and I wish we could have stayed longer. The drive back was ass though. We stopped at an exit to get some gas and food but it took us like 10 minutes just to find where the food was despite the exit advertising it (you would think that it would be close to the exit but of course not). Even when we found where the food was we couldn’t find the McDonald like it was advertised and settled for Hardee’s (we thought of going to subway but decided not to cause it looked sketchy as hell with a ghetto ass sign). It took them like damn 15 minutes to give us our food despite us being like the only ones there and even then they fucked up the order by forgetting to give us fries and straws, and David asked for no onions or mayo on his burger and they still gave it to him. To top it all off halfway through the drive it started raining which means that we had to cancel the fireworks and ruined the entire reason why we left early anyways.
Oh you mean cr. lk into Ultra? Yeah, that is a pretty retarded and annoying link.
NCBC TOMORROW! Come out! Jibbs will be in the house!!! SC will be in the house! GET HYPE. MATT FRANK COME BACK.
I’m also throwing out an open challenge to all Wilmington NC locals. Play me in a 2/3 match in AE and/or Marvel. If you win, I’ll give you 5 dollars. Challenge me as many times as you want but you have to be local. If you lose, I say good game and we move on. IT COSTS NOTHING. Players need money and drive, and if you have the drive, beat me for the money. TELL YOUR FRIENDS <3
Jon…I read the Facebook comments, and I’m sure you know, I’m not really a dick. I’m more than happy to help another player out if I can. Though I’m not really a big fan of the mindset carried by a lot of the new guys who “claim” to be serious, I am a big fan of the fact that a lot more people are around and playing. Back in the day, we drove and drove and drove and drove. You had to work? MAN THE FUCK UP. At my last 9-5, I worked, left work, got on the highway, drove 2 hours, played 3rd Strike, drove back 2 hours, slept 3, REPEAT.
I’m not saying I’m some great warrior or that everyone should be like me or that everyone has to drop what they’re doing and drive somewhere. I’ve been out in “real life” a lot longer than you Jon (no disrespect intended there) and I’m more than aware that a lot of out of towners will not be able to make it on Monday. I don’t get pissed that people have work and live far away and probably can’t make it. I get pissed when people say they can’t make it because it’s an hour and a half drive on a weekday. If that makes any sense. "Google maps says this and thiDRIVE IT AND FIND OUT. The other side of the coin was me trolling, which is done in such a sly and deceitful manner that it’s undetectable by most.
PS Q BEST BIPSON
so there are other SF players in greenville? haha I was beginning to think it wasn’t so. where in greenville are you located? I’m right in front of ECU on first street. about how many make it to your place to play every week?
Thanks to all those who made it out tonight, especially those from fayetville and demo from wilson - I know it was a long drive. We had a great turnout, got a lot of good games in. Next Monday I’ll be doing it again, but starting at 7pm. If anything changes I’ll post up about it.
@ Roski you could probably make an argument for ppl driving 1.5 hrs on a weekday for a weekly if the tournament started at a time where people who worked could drive 1.5 hrs once they get out and actually make it on time. I think the weeklies you all are having is great and I wish we had it over this way, but the fact of the matter is it’s impossible for those of us who work and live that far to make it without taking the day off.
And I’ve been using google maps for years and it’s never been over an hour off for me. Ever. 10-15 min? Maybe. But if it says 2.5 hrs It’s at LEAST 2 from my place of work to the tournament.
Once we get more people, they’ll be willing to stay open later, which means I can start the tournament later as well.
Wilmington is a 2 hour drive for me. I made it last week tho. If you want to play on a Monday, it’s just another option for us, which is great for the scene whether you can make it or not.
I’ll say this though. Alex Roski is still the best SSF4 player in the state. If you want to level up quickly, it’s in your best interest to go play. The eyepatch doesn’t lie.
I think you’re going to find that this doesn’t matter. Even if it’s just one person, you’ll get a lot of experience from just playing a ton of matches back to back.
Awsome, can’t wait.
Yeah man, it sucks you guys left so early. Had I known, I would have gotten there earlier so I coulda played you more. Also didn’t know demarcus was coming or I would gotten some SSF4 in too. GGs for the little bit we played.
Ammy / Dante / Shuma is apparently really annoying for those that stayed around. GGs to everyone all around. Me and Erik had some damn intense matches towards the end.
Honestly it really is 2+ from where we are and especially with the start time, it’s just not realistic to show up. I’ve driven to wilmington plenty of times from out here in the past for non fighting game reasons so I know how the drive is. I’d be fine if these were on fridays, especially since Will will be leaving the state in a bit and I’m not sure if EZ will still be around after then, so it’d be perfect to pick up the spot.
On the dick topic, /shrug. Generally saying you’re not something doesn’t go to disprove it. I could run your mail box over while drunk driving and say I wasn’t drunk driving but I still did it. It’s just the attitude I guess, kinda like how my mindset rubs you the wrong way, for whatever reason. To be real, even in THIS post, there’s just an underlying tone of disrespect.
Thanks for having us last night Josiah. Had alot of fun and your dog is awesome.
Old Man Doom: Shuma is a beast…that is all.
Demarcus: sorry we couldnt run any Tekken last night, hope to play you this weekend. I also want to get in on the knowledge dump you were giving lol.
Will: as far as this weekend, you need to make a ruling for MK about the dlc characters. Skarlet dropped two weeks ago and Kenshi is supposed to drop today. I personally dont think they should be allowed at the moment. But I will have both on my system.
Why not? I mean Jill/Shuma was allowed in tournaments the very day they were dropped. I don’t see anything technically wrong with it.
I think EZ can continue even when I move out of the state because Kevin can continue hosting it. Also I hope some players in the Fayetteville scene step up to help Kevin continue running it.
Hey anyone know anything bout casual around Charlotte?
I still got XBL but need more practice off line…
Talking about real life, is"disastrous to economy"not far away from as?? is another depression under radar?
hope the winter will NOT come…
Double-Dip recession is possible,but Japan recovery should keep it from happening. We’re still in for a slow slog, and that’s not going to change until something fundamental happens, and that may take one side winning big in the elections.
Aww don’t do that. I was planning on maining Kenshi lol
Im doing something at my place later today if anybody wanted to roll through, hit the cell 704-264-5157
Yea ggs, I don’t mind spreading the knowledge if your willing to learn. I will be down for tekken even though it’s been a long time since I have played but I will pull the leo out and see what happens. Jon sorry I didn’t get to play you in AE, you was on that marvel lol
