Hey hey…show some sportsmanship. Don’t call him loser and the other guy stop complaining about how or why you lost. Keep that to yourself and learn from your defeat so that you can become better. Regardless of how or why he defeated you. Complaining like that publicly makes you look bad as a competitor. And I don’t want to hear that you don’t care what people think about you, because if that were true you wouldn’t be trying to tell your excuse as to why Marvelous won in puzzle fighter.

Like LTB once said to me when he was in NYC. “I think its very selfish and rude to try to make excuses to take away your fellow competitor happiness. We should all congratulate each other so that we can make each other all happy and aspire to greater levels of competition.” :smiley: LTB is so cool. But anyway, I’m not trying to lecture you, I am just saying fall back, because you will make yourself out to look like a “sore loser”. Until then. :slight_smile:

i think he’s saying that the speed setting 1 handicap also lets you do more damage when sending blocks

Does that make you a ‘sore winner’ when you talk about Empire ‘raping & pillaging’ tourneys?

Because that’s arguably just as unsportsmanlike. Especially considering y’all have what amounts to a stacked deck, most would say.

Just curious… :smiley:

Red wong is nobody in puzzle fighter sad to say =/

i don’ t live in cali but i don’t know if those were the top 5… niggas getting silly. ec did their thing against THOSE 3 lol. if u wanna see whats really good just wait for evo. EC got their game up so this will be good.

chi ownes!!

damm wait 2 u c dese vids. chicago holds top 3. Everyone else suks. die die die die die die

gg’s man

I had a great time. Even though I scrubbed out in marvel and ST. No worries though. It was a good eye opener.

Congrats Justin. You truly are the best

All the EC heads I met are dope: X, Wigfall, Passion, Sporty, Blaziniflo, Sentinaaaal, Arturo, Starbury, Liston, and Matrix.

Matrix, your cyke is dope. Keep that shit alive.

GG’s Hyo. You’re as good as they say you are. Thanks for the advice too.

Good meeting you Arturo. You’re really cool

Great seeing you again Blaziniflo. And nice meeting you Jon. Thanks for the advice as well.

Chicago is a beast cage. Marc owns me for free. Nice seeing you again. Good meeting you George. Great games to you too. Thanks for the ride Tony. And good games Derek. You need to change your name to Dereklearnsfast cuz that was some sick rushdown you had.

And to all the texas heads. You guys got mad skills now. Tear shit up at evo.

And thanks to anyone else I’ve forgotten.

Whaddup man. You bringin the girls to evo this year?

And who are you? Your post didn’t make any kind of sense. Edit your post. And besides, he even had trouble beating me at his own advantage without any of my knowledge to it. That should tell you somethin’ there.

Exactly. That’s the ONLY way he beat me.

TFGM, I’m not complaining. I’m just exposing what he did to beat me. Pay attention.

The Millia player was formerly known as Sarcasm’s Ghost but he refuses to be called that, now. :lol:

He also went by other names such as “Ronin Sensei”, “Double A-ron”, and now, “Infallible MP”.

Regardless, his Millia is sick, and got waaaaaaaay better from the last time we played. You guys can comment all you want once ElvenShadow puts up vids… but he’s no scrub, he did well in the tourney. As mentioned, he put Kensou in losers. I think he tied for 5th.

Anyway, I would like to thank everyone for giving me great games at GGXX. Not a lot of you know me, BUT some of you might know me as “Dennis”, which is good because…well, I totally scrubbed out in this tournament. :frowning: My Anji didn’t do as well as I wanted it to be because of poor execution (I guess I’m still a pad scrub no matter how long I practice on stick), and I got by with a few resets. But I suppose 13th or 15th place isn’t that bad. Nice meeting everyone though, and I’m not gonna make a list because everyone was pretty much hella cool. Big shoutouts to Genius, Fubarduck, R0B0T, Kensou, Cue (David), and Jamarvelous… I enjoyed watching them play the most. :smiley:

I think most people took that out of content, I was just playing around in a role playing sense. I wasn’t really implying that we raped and pillaged. Because to be honest “Empire” persay didn’t do anything just the gamers representing the “Empire”. The time when the “Empire” in the full sense of the organization starts raping and pillaging, trust me, I won’t have to say anything you will know. However the answer to your question is yes, if I was making that statment to poke fun at the losers and that the Empire was winning, that would be completely unsportsmanlike, and I would like to take the time to apologize to anyone if we gave that impression and you felt offended by my behavior. I only meant it in fun and not to be a dick.

~Born to Play~

I can not answer that at this particular time as I am evaluating the month of July. However I will announce my plans for Evo, if I have any a week before Evo.

~Born to Play~

Although I said to stop complaining, I only said that in the manner of not stating the excuse because people will look at you in the wrong light. Even if your excuse is valid. I can not judge to say if you are right or wrong. May you are right, but maybe you are wrong. Neither matters, what matters to most people is the winner and not the loser, and they view you in the wrong spot light because you are “exposing” what he did to beat you. To most people, that is complaining. Not arguing with you, just giving advice. Its only worth 2 cents, so you can just tell me to go fuck myself, and I will completely understand. Until then. :smiley:

i can’t believe there is a puzzle fighter debate going on…

Magic Drop PWNS puzzle fighter.

Ah… so we’re supposed to know exactly what you meant, but it’s OK to jump on this guy because his words were not taken “out of context” (one of the last great verbal cop-outs, btw)… ?

Maybe he didn’t mean anything by it any more than you did.
Maybe he didn’t mean it to “be a dick”. It’s possible… :wink:

And if Empire funded the trip & took care of the logistics, I consider it safe to say that’s Empire’s doing. I doubt many of the members who came would have been there without the backing & assistance. You seem OK with claiming the victories on behalf of Empire; can’t have it both ways… another verbal cop-out.

…but w/e. Just pulling your chain a little since you wanted to drop some knowledge on ‘sportsmanship’ & all… :slight_smile:

“Until then…” :lol:

Thats a great point and I agree completely. Surely Justin would have noticed that in every round that he played his opponents had the handicap at its default setting. Yet he still continued to do it.

Its like using the handicap in EX3 where one person starts with full life and the other only having a quarter of his life. Put that in the finals at a tourniment and there is certainly a reason to cry foul.

LOL, I think I can safely dismiss your claim about my prior post not making sense based on the history of your delusional rambling on SRK. But when I do happen on a post of yours on occasion, it does give me a sense of amusement in how diverse SRK is, something of which that also includes people of severe mental derangement.

A better replacement for “complaining” is “excuses”. Stop making excuses.

~Born to Play~

No, I didn’t expect you to know, that is why I apologized. I gave the impression. That is my fault and my fault alone. No excuses. So I am at wrong/fault. Thus I must apologize to those that it may offend.

“Some” of the Members that attend “some” of the SRK events are funded by the Empire. Not all, and yes I do take pride when any member who reps the Empire goes out there and do there best, win or lose. Its just more satisfying when they win. :cool:

As for the omni guy, I am not saying anything about him, as I said I am judging. I said that people may look at him in the wrong spot light although he is simply trying to explain how he lost. So to avoid him getting flamed, it would be wise to blah blah blah. He can always tell me to go shove it up my ass. Its still just advice.

I know you are just busting my chops, just holding my ground thats all. You know, don’t want people to accidently take your post out of content and starting to look at key points that you make out and take it as you were being serious, and then say that I am a dick. :smiley:

Until then. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:, indeed… :lol:

Do your thing, TFGM… :cool:

See what I am saying /\ some people don’t give a crap. They only care about winning. In my personal opinion Empire or not, I hate all that roll canceling, unblockable, B.S. I think it breaks the game and makes it unfair to a sense. However I must keep things in prespective, and remember what community I am in. SRK. Home of where winning is all that matters. I don’t even want to hear that people don’t do that here. There is a lot of ego’s here. No names, just pointing out a fact. So to avoid people from making comments like the one I quoted, I simply told the guy that he should just keep it on the low, for his only personal image. But hey…like I said, its just my advice. The minute omni says Shut the fuck up Triforce, is the moment that I stop speaking on this subject. Until then.

Oh oh…here it comes.

:eek:
