The Nate vs Julien footage should be up by tomorrow. What’s the other game with Ducky that’s on this tape? Is that Final Fight or something? Do you care about it?
This all appears to be another continuous block of footage, so I’ll release it as such. <3
You should set the time/date on your video camera - that way I know what date this footage is from. Very easy for referencing. =D
Yes I care about the footage for both games, you don’t have to host the fatal fury special for very long if it takes up lots of space, I just want it for personal use. You’re BOPS Zach :tup:
BTW, why is the next get together 1 week after the last one instead of 2 weeks this time? Just curious.
Okay, game on. Tournaments will be held on 5/11. Marvel at 9PM (show up on time:mad:), ST at roughly midnight. $5 for Marvel, $1 for ST, please bring correct denominations or you might not be able to get change or enter the tournament. Bring sticks people.
XTG, let me know if you’re not attending this Friday.
Kuenai, I actually do feel bad about how I won. If you bring your stick (or any one that you’re comfortable with) and show up before 1AM, I’ll give you a rematch in the cripple fight. If you win, I’ll give you your $20 back. If I win, you don’t owe me anything. Alright?
Short notice, but hype this shit! Here are some questions that will be answered come Friday:
Will Chris, Frank, Jamie (Kuenai), or anyone come closer than I to challenging David for the title of worst player?
Will we finally have a tournament where 2 people out of Row, Jmar, and Kuan attend?
Will Cody finally stop whining about the start time?
Will Mega Man continue to shame rushdown teams?
Will I finally kill someone for not waiting on deck as directed?
Will people learn to use the drink holders in the garage?
Will Bopnation rear their collective heads?
Will I start a sentence with a word other than “will”?
Will anyone stop Cody’s dominance of the rankings?
Will Murakumo finally show up and school us with Dhalsim in Marvel?
Aw Jee-yah. Double posting on back to back nights. I’ll once again be driving to Zach’s from Northgate on Friday. If anyone between here and there needs a ride, let me know.
Not me, I think. I’m actually improving. I was shutting people down left and right in Bellingham after a bit of warm-up today.
All questions I want to see answers for, as well. If I go tomorrow night, I’ll bring MY tools and fix 'em for ya. Both of them. Only $10 for the trouble, if you’d like.
If you haven’t got your sticks installed by the time I get there, I could do those for you, too, Preppy :tup:
Hey just a quick question (and Zach, if this is inappropriate, please let me know).
I noticed that ppl might be interested in board games, like scrabble/scattergories. Does anyone have interest in playing German style board games? I’m a big fan of the following
Ticket to Ride (USA or europe)
Puerto Rico (The ST of board games)
Traders of Genoa
Princes of Florences
I have a fairly large game collection at home, I could bring any of the above or more…
Also, I just wanted to say thanks to Zach for these tournaments. I can say from experience that one of the best ways to have an increase in skill in a game is to have regular tournaments. Casual free games are a great way to not become seriously good, because there’s no real drive to win.
The other thing this group needs is players to pick and champion top tier characters. I know O Sagat isn’t fun (I hate him), and neither is Claw, but we have to have people playing them, and playing to seriously win, because you’ll be seeing that at Evo. So we need
asshole dhalsim
asshole O sagat
asshole guile
asshole ryu
When I say asshole I mean the guy that you’re going to do anything to win, even if it’s just low short + throw that looks like crap on tape but it wins because you hate him and have to BEAT HIM DOWN. We gotta get into that mentality and WIN NO MATTER WHAT, because I want Seattle area to take top 15 stops at Evo!!
Everyone needs to be able to deal with Dic’s stand short + throw 10 times in a row and kill you, because I guarantee Alex Wolfe will do that to you. Everyone needs to deal with tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger tiger TIGER UPPERCU- tiger tiger tiger. Everyone needs to be able to deal with Boxer’s throw, walk under, throw, etc… And the players playing those characters need to do it over and over and over again until you hate them for it, even though it isn’t fun, because we have to be able to respond to that stuff without even thinking about it.
So what do you guys think of having a couple of hours of “hardcore” mode on the ST cabinet. Where the objective is to just get the longest win streak, or something like that… something to make people play as cheap and as hardcore as possible.
Ok sorry if that isn’t what people want… it’s just that this old man’s tournament blood is stirring, and I want everyone to crush at Evo.
i can do asshole Guile and asshole Sim to add to my up and coming asshole Claw, jackass Boxer, Zangief, and THawk they dont need names, they are big, hairy, and hurtful
Great fuckin post sir. I agree with hardcore mode ST, I can definitely benefit from it (since I can’t make it out to ST during the week). I’ll try to be asshole Ryu, since my Chun Li is gross and my Sagat is grosser.
Speaking of which, what exactly do you think of Chun Li in terms of placement. High mid? I know she gets trashed by O Sagat so there’s that heh. I’m also looking forward to constructive criticism because I can’t really tell what I’m doing wrong a lot of the time. Most of it’s ignorance, but there’s more to it than that.
