Saskatchewan Thread 2012

Man… this thread.

Yep, I must suck. I lost to the best Viper in the world and one of the top 3 Bison’s in North America.

Who have you and your buddy played? Oh yeah…nobody.

Amazing players don’t make it out of pools every year at Evo but at least they try. You got to be in it to win it. Unlike you coming in here bragging about playing your 3 buddies in your mom’s basement like anybody gives a shit.

And I have made it out of pools at Evo. I was top 16 in HDR.

Fact - you are a deluded scrub.

There has never been a truer example of a fact in human history.

Prove me wrong.

Oh wait, you can’t, we aren’t playing Mario Party.

You seem to be confused and deluded. Who says I need to be good to body the fuck outta you and your phantom friends? I don’t. You just suck that much.

Like what people do at Evo or any other event? Not that you would know being stuck in your mom’s basement and all.

Go take a Valium, or a Ritalin, or whatever it is your parents put you on so you wouldn’t bother them so much. Or maybe you just need to get a life, I don’t know, I’m not a doctor.

There’s no shame in just admitting you and your friends aren’t very good. Who is the best player in your group? Has anyone heard of them?

Maybe you and your “friends” are on meds, doesn’t mean everybody else is.

Needs to admit he has no friends first.

Is there a Regina tourny happening anytime soon?

Should be happening in July. Not exactly soon. Watch out though, Trollthis and his posse of killas may show up and take all the money.

Thanks.

The hi-tech tournament that happened 4 years ago attracted nearly every potential SF player in the city, its highly unlikely any group as high as 10 exist especially when we all put in a good effort to attract new people. Me and allison both went to HT and called various game stores to ask if we could advertise, and my buddy who worked at the cove and who worked at HT told me he only had maybe around 2-3 guys who asked about TTF.

As for shane’s skills in the game…well the guy is easily the best akuma in canada and probably NA imo. He lost against the top viper player in the world and against a bison who is potentially one of the best. Also if I’m not mistaken, shane told me that out of all the matches he had prepared for before evo that viper was the only one he didnt really expect to run into…so its quite a twist of fate that he would just happen to fight the very best one in that event. Besides EVERY saskatoon/regina player has already made themselves known to this community, so some phantom league of "killers"being around is not only unlikely but impossible. I would never be the worst in such a phantom group, I’ve been out to the edmonton,calgary,winnipeg,regina and vancouver community and played against their top players and have done exceptionally well. If this group existed but is yet super casual then why bother to post…if the intention is just to spam and troll then isnt that infraction worthy and breaking SRK rules. Either prove your remarks or plz leave.

Anyways I heard about some early tiers for this game so I wanted to post my personal thoughts on who I believe the current top tier are and why(I still have yet to fight a really good nina,steve or juri so I cant comment on them for now).

Vega,Rufus,Kaz,Ryu,Rolento,Gief

Vega: Out of all the characters in the game, vega requires the least effort to play and win with. He has incredibly far reaching normals that are all safe regardless of how you space them and specials that are all safe and give you frame advantage. You don’t really need a good footsies game or sense of timing when it comes to using him, it’s all just about mashing buttons and having enough good sense to move around every so often. If you turtle and play evasively, you will beat 90% of the cast easily…he’s easily the most beginner friendly and easy to use top tier in recent years.

Rufus: Much like vega there really isn’t anything difficult in using him. He has safe pressure that is effective and easy to apply, he can avoid the footsie game due to his dive kicks and literally just rush you down until you crack. 100% easy mode when being played and he has no risk, another user friendly top tier that a casual player could probably use effectively.

Kaz: Good everything and easy to learn, not much downside to him other then the fact that he isn’t as easy to learn as vega or rufus.

Ryu: Basic template shoto with BS good everything easy mode on. Play him for a hour and you’ll more then likely be able to win evo with him.

Rolento. Much like vega, just mash buttons and occasionally move around and away from your opponent. Once you have them cornered, jab spam them and wait until they alpha counter…rinse and repeat for the win.

Gief: Out of all the top tiers he does require some actual though, but that’s only against characters with good zoning options. For everyone else in the cast, gief is a tank that you cannot approach or avoid. He’s a character that can win by flow chart on all levels, so once you figure him out you’ll instantly be top material.

Edit:

WTF!!!

I just saw the tier list…law is A tier and better then vega!

I refuse to accept this tier list and will ignore it as early ignorance on new characters, similar to how everyone thought cable was the best in MVC2 during its early competitive time.

Lol. What are you, 12? Thanks for the laughs tonight kid. “I KNOW YOU ARE BUT WHAT AM I”

I can’t comprehend why people seem to think that advertising for something at HT would bring out everyone who plays the game, or why its hard to accept that theres a group of people in a city the size of saskatoon who play a game so popular that you haven’t met when your ‘scene’ only consisted of a handful of people, or that they just might be better than you when you know in the back of your mind you aren’t that great at the game, or that the fact that you care about a game enough to travel and still fail at it makes you better than people who haven’t. But hey, I don’t understand MOST of the stupidity in this thread, so w/e. I’ve got video evidence that proves you guys aren’t great at the game…and I find it HILARIOUS that you think the same video proves you’re good. Seriously. Super, super funny. Thanks again for the chuckles.

Oh, and calm down.

Says the guy who thinks everybody is on meds.

Good one bro.

It would bring out people who think they are good at the game not just play it.

You aren’t good, so it makes sense you won’t go to tournies.

Holy shit, NOT THE SIZE OF SASKATOON.

Maybe I’m wrong, you might have 4 Mario Party killas in your mom’s basement.

Well it’s unlikely a group of 4 dudes who have never played anybody other than their scrubby no skill buddies in your mom’s basement would be better than anybody.

That might make sense to you, but the rest of the world? Not so much.

Let’s see, traveling to play the best competition in the world versus 4 randoms failing in your mom’s basement.

Yeah you guys must be AMAZING!

Gets more stupid every time you post.

Yo…don’t you have some soooper doooper elite 5 player Mario Party tourney to attend in your mom’s basement. I heard the top prize is pictures of a real naked woman.

HOLY SHIT!

Take yer meds kid.

Say whatever you want, doesn’t change the fact that I just watched a full set of you playing and don’t recall any real OS despite many, MANY opportunities for them (in a game that may as well be called Option Select Fighter 4) or anything that resembles mind games. Just 2 players going back and forth, doing things. Seriously, super funny. Thanks. Really.

Everyone in this thread has either played online or appeared physically at events or tournaments. We all know each other and we have seen each other’s skills for ourselves in person. At the height of TTF, we had over 15+ known players and that isn’t including the guys from the cove who used to main 3s and cvs2…so all together we probably have close to 30 players in sask. At every event, including the HT tournament a few years back everyone who could have possibly come out did for that event and I got most of their numbers. We all leveled up and trained together and when it came time to represent sask at canada cup 2010, all the sask guys who were interested showed up. At this point in time, every possible sask guy has made themselves known so no one here is going to believe in some so called group of mystic players that don’t even have online tags for verification.

Also if anyone wants to call shane and howard scrubby, feel free to ask anyone in canada who has played them to see if they would ever use that word in reference to them. Don’t just take saskatchewan’s word for it, ask any other players from different provinces to see what they have to say regarding that.

Your inability to spot an OS or mind games has nothing to do with me executing them or not and everything to do with your elementary knowledge of the game preventing you from understanding what you see. Asking you to spot any OS or mind game in that set would be like asking a dairy cow to understand the theory of relativity. It’s not gonna happen.

At least dairy cows provide milk…

Good luck at your basement Mario Party super elites only tourney though. You’re gonna have to plow through at least 3 other dudes. Hope you win that naked woman pic. WHOOOO!

lol @ this guy thinking shane sucks. LOL.

This thread is probably one of my main forms of content for laughing my ass off online.
Like, what the hell am I reading? XD

I would be greatly interested to play or see this group of more skilled, fun-loving players in sask. I’m not joking. You play with more frequency and skill? Let’s play then. Funny you make assumptions but you don’t really know. I play on both consoles and PC so everyone can get at me.

^
This…he has alot more cred than you do

I would love to bet on MM vs Shane. Also yes we have degrees and jobs and all that jazz but and we still come here to talk about our community and the games we play, just like you do. If travelling and tourneys or other groups that play games in sask together aren’t that important to you then its cool, to each his own. But keep the ignorance to yourself. A couple vids don’t mean anything and who says you and your friends are good? You think you are good and more skilled? Are you? Any cred?

It’s pretty obvioius you’re just trolling now. It’s one thing to be joking but there is some real belief in what your saying that you think you’re better than this guy. You should just own up to it in the event you actually show up to a tournament and get exposed. The “we’re just chillin with our degrees, jobs, and trophy wives” excuse won’t cut it then.
