Post whatever you feel like relating to your cvs2 experience at evo.
the tourney:
-I thought mago was going to use C-vega instead of C-sagat. what made him stick with C-sagat?
-i’m glad combofiend made it so far, congrats.
-disappointed that ricky, buk, or choi didn’t make top 8, and that i missed all the semi-final matches, cuz i heard semi-final matches were the best part.
-justin wong proves that A-haoh is TOPS. FUCK YALL =)
-nitto’s god sexy K-cammy is great. i love that run in, jump back dive kick bait(i think this was against djb-13). his K-geese is pretty impressive with the counterhit setups and multiple kick throws.
-all i remember is that last year, rf got owned and that’s it. this year, he did well and i’ll actually be looking forward to seeing him play.
-best of 1 was stupid, grand final was a hella close match, they should have done best of 3, but whatever, BAS deserves to win evo anyways(but so does mago :sad: )
outside the tourney:
-GGs to smoothcat, why did you use K-cammy instead of K-kyo :P. i was expecting pure otk shit. good shit though, sorry i couldn’t put up a better fight with my anchor, too much shit wrong with my sagat and too little known about what to do against hibiki, worked me good.
-ouroborous is the angriest fob i ever met.
-i got to play keith in my pool and he decides to use K-cbs, asshole.
-gg to laugh, i’m still too inexperieced with c-groove, but i wanna stick with C-groove i never have to have the following thought in my head again: “A-sak? aww…fuckass…”
-gg to dr.b, i would have beaten you if i didn’t have the worst C-sagat in america. s.jab, s.jab, s.fwd xx lvl 2 raid or s.jab, s.jab, c.short xx nothing. sigh, wtf? but yea, it was dope to finally play against you.
-i got to watch kcxj play against evilelvis. he lost, but i’m actually impressed. evilevlis is a really good player, to actually hold his own against him, props to you. i wanted to play casuals against you, but i couldn’t find you after you left.
-when i think about it, i think i had a pretty decent match against everyone i played, until i got to my anchor, he’d just get rocked hard. i used to think it was just cuz of my C/K-sagat is ass, and i only use him cuz i can AA high cannon w/ good consistancy, but now i think it might be just my mentality when i play the game. i probably go for the wrong mixup without setting it up properly, or i play too recklessly when my opponent starts to look for more opportunities and shit.
-irvine vs berkeley (w/o keith) was fun. sorry LB, i do reallyl unsafe stupid shit when it comes down to the wire, that’s how i win :P. i will not hesitate to do a point blanka RC roundhouse cannon drill against a P-groove on wake up if it’ll kill them.
and tae, i almost beat you with my 1 week old guile and 1 day old C-blanka, die…
-i didn’t get a chance to play buk for money. or maybe…i decided i want to keep my $10. we’ll NEVER KNOW
-legendarygokou, mickey D(and a few other guys that i can’t remember off the top of my head), i wanted to meet you guys and play some casuals, but i didn’t get to hang out at the byoc that much, damn vegas for having too much things to do. if you saw me, you should have went up to me and slapped me or something, i wanted to meet the people behind the names, but whatever, maybe next year. i’m hella psyched to do some new training tactics
-btw, i watched ohayo do some training mode stuff, it was something like putting vega on some random “recorded” block string, and he’d try to counter it with different options and then switch to another blockstring/tactic with vega and worked on that for 2-5 minutes. i never thought about approaching it like that, i only used training mode for execution/string practice, but i’m probably gonna start doing these kinds more since i’m having a better idea of what team i want to use now.
Overall evo was great, don’t stop playing
