Man, the idea of Midwest Challenge coming back is fucking awesome.
I like the idea of a 5v5 between the states, as well.
EDIT: I want in on that August show with Syxx, lol.
Sorry for being impatient. I wanst complaining, I was just unsure as which you checked more SRK or your Email.
Thanks in advance
Sorry if I came across a little short. It’s all good. I check my normal email a bit more, but SRK at least once a day.
I’ve already recorded Syxx’s interview, but I’m always looking for new guests. Just let me know in a pm.
UPDATE! Just released episode #7 with Webster aka Devildigimon. I thought the subject matter was so great that I’ve released the episode the day of recording. Normally I wait for the schedule, but not this time!
Damn.
I feel left out. Webster on a Podcast, Dan’s gonna be on a Podcast…
Looks like it’s time to blow up a gerbil.
after seeing what happened to the midwest at EVO. I really think WE ALL could benefit. From gathering together one occasions for some SERIOUS practice. I think everyone on the midwest team was a little nervous. I can’t say for really anyone else cause ive only played humbag on occasions , but it did feel like you werent fully in your game humbag.
Someone needs to organize something.
Someone give me more money and a better job so I can travel problem solved
Man, J-money wants to to a podcast. Osirun I URGE you to come out to FIO3 dude.
i was already on a pod cast. It should be up soon I’m assuming. If u wanna do a pod cast just PM Osirun like I did. He’s willing to talk to any scrub out there.
double post, somehow
IMO I really don’t agree w/ what Webster says about being a scrub – sorry man. edit: I like the podcast though, it’s a good one.
Scrub I think is pretty accepted as meaning someone who uses excuses when they lose and/or plays a game a lot but doesn’t make an effort to improve. Saying stuff like “I use an honorable char” is scrubby. Nothing wrong w/ having fun though if that’s where you want to take games though. If you’re just a jerk, you’re a jerk, not a scrub 
I’d also define scrubdom as thinking you’re a lot better than your tourney placings/skill level say you are, but thinking other guys are getting lucky on you, stick didn’t work, thinking you’re better than established players when you haven’t done anything, thinking you’re as good as other guys because you watch videos, etc. etc. 
I’m sure everyone is guilty of those things once in a while, but some people make a living off of those attitudes, haha
Ex: I’m still involved w/ the music game (pre-GH/RB stuff) stuff mostly in Ohio, which is still going, and a lot of the guys just don’t understand what fighters are like at high level. The one guy was saying he went to TGA, barely knew anything about GG and beat a bunch of guys who got mad. I was like, well, if you’re just some random dude and you beat some guys at a fighter, I really doubt they were any good, nothing to get an ego over. But even with BB he’s like “I just got on and I’m 6-1” like he’s all proud.
Most people like that duck the people they KNOW are good and just put themselves in situations at a low level, where they can be successful. The people who actually are into fighters want to seek out beatdowns so they can learn HOW to deliver future beatdowns!
i just listened to the podcast and as someone who has known webster personally for 5 years i’ve never heard so much bullshit in my life :lol: oh and also i enjoyed how he brought me up TWICE and how he changed the definition of the word scrub
Domination 101: You can lead a scrub to water, but you can’t make him think. IMO this is pretty standard
Domination 101: On Cheapness
Also I agree that, if I were a top player I’d probably share my knowledge with a lot of people, but I personally don’t expect those guys to. In old school arcades, when you traveled to other areas because you were seeking out people to battle, you were there to be cutthroat and to win. So I can understand both mentalities – wanting to better the scene, and thereby learning from other people to who bounce off your ideas; and also keeping the best strats for yourself and letting people figure out what YOU are doing to them.
I’m not a top player, but I’m good for the Midwest, so I do my best to teach people whatever I can, if they want to learn (some people you can tell don’t really want help/advice, or they just don’t listen if you try to give it)
I’m glad Webster’s podcast sparked up some conversation and a little debate. You need to come back and do another podcast soon, Ghaleon! Talk some more about the Midwest and how to get people traveling and leveling up; that’d be good stuff.
Oh man, I’d love to, but Arcade Legends is having a tournament that very same day. I have to do my part to support them since they’re the only arcade (of any merit) within reasonable distance from me.
And if you’d like to do a podcast, just pm me and we’ll set up the time. I use Skype to do interviews online, and am capable of taking calls from regular phones.
Sure Nathan – just name a time and we can do it. I think we can come up with a lot of material to cover still
I wasnt on top of my game at all.
TV was kinda laggy, I had NO warmup time, and it was my first time doing anything remotely close to this.
I should have beaten him in at least the first round.
Dont even say anything about the ULTRA that fucked up. So much shit went wrong during that which is attributed to lag/nerves.
I was only 1 game from qualifiying out of my pool. Lost to a random rufus (shoulda beat but played bad) then lost by a small small margin to Ricky Ortiz whome I took to 3 games and 3 rounds in the final game.
I don’t think anyone is attacking you Humbag. I think that you played well. Also, It seems that as a whole in the Midwest we have a lot of pressure on us to perform, because we have everything to prove to those on the east and west coasts.
Humbag did you see how hype I was that you were in the 5v5? i posted on my facebook in ALL CAPS, that means i was yelling! good job, you did wayy better than I would’ve
just finished and sent in my Roundup profile, pm me if you want me for a podcast or watever’s clever… Humbag… J-munny… see you 2 and FIO3… and good shit at the 5v5 humbag i know we didn’t win but we can always do that next year i suppose
I know bro , I was watching you and I was just like man… this aint the bag ive played before. That sucks you didnt get any warmup man.
Well dude overall hearing that id say you did pretty good. Hopefully nothing like that happens next year.
Great stuff Osirun. I just caught up on the last two podcasts. I have to say they’ve been a pleasure to listen too.
