LOL. If I was 5 years younger you’d be twice my age. You’re definitely one of the 7 Eleven players. That’s what I love about SFIV though…it’s bringing everybody back.

Actually one of the things they mentioned that is unique about SF is that experience matters over reflexes. Mike Watson vs. Gootecks during that streamed Arizona tournament was basically a 20th century vs. 21st century match. Watson is like 40 and Gootecks is maybe a bit over 20 at most. In other video games like FPS’s people retire once they hit their mid 20’s simply because your reflexes peak at the age of 18 and slowly degrade. In fighting games there’s a lot more thinking and preparation involved so older people can still wreck long after. I love watching old SBO vids and seeing 40 something year old Japanese in their business suits competing in Super Turbo.

So what, is Wednesday the big day this week?

PS: Anyone going to C3 this weekend besides DevilJin and Zero000?

443

What is C3? What time are folks going to be at X30 on Wednesday?

444

if DJ or 0000 brings BB, I’ll show up, maybe

edit: oh, and is anyone still doing dual mods?

445

50% chance I’ll make it out to X30 on Wed and C3 on Sat. :china:

446

I am still doing dual mods :smiley:
toss me a PM

447

soon… soon

448

I don’t have BB yet, my 360 isn’t modded :tdown:

And @Dpendleton, check the C3 beatdowns thread in the tournament forums. Tournament this saturday in Ashburn VA (ST, SF4, Dota).

449

:looney:

450

let me know within the next 30 if people are gonna go up today. if its enough
I will bring that Bombastic Brute as long as it stays quiet.

451

Yeah…I don’t know if I’ll be showing up today. If I do it’ll be because I’ll have absolutely nothing else to do and I’ll probably bring my bro with me. I can’t be definite until later today.

BTW tomorrow if the tracking information is accurate I’ll have my Evo monitor for you guys to play on tomorrow.

452

That’s what I said.

453

I’ll try to be there tomorrow.

454

Big thanks to protoman - I got that extra spring and performed the mod - very simple to implement.

Upas, I may have to hold off a month - if that changes your plans then let me know. I still plan to go through with the dual-mod no matter what.

Edit - I plan to be present tomorrow for my normal beatdown. :stuck_out_tongue:

455

alright well im heading up now.
Those who want to try out BB. come out today…not gonna be up there Wed

456

I’m doing what this guy is doing. same for wednesday

457

awesome, 360 or ps3? Cuz I have no 360 sticks. I’m guessing 360…cuz you know…

Supposedly there have been copies being sold by non corporate shops, though, but I dunno if this is true.

458

Don’t worry guys, I’ll be playing low tier today.

I’ll bring my 360 stick

459

I’ll rush the fuck home and grab my TE if we need another. How late will y’all be playing tonight? I could be there by 6.

460

I dunno what proto was planning, but I intend to stay till closing.

i’ll be there when ever the ups man gets here
