Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend this years Tougeki. I have the funds, but I’m having a little delay getting my visa from the Japanese Consulate. Don’t think its gonna happen by this weekend so no Tougeki this year. 
ROSE GARDEN CUP will be my Tougeki.
Congrats on getting to 3s land Ryan. I’m swinging by Japan sometime next year, hopefully I’ll see you at Game Versus again.
…ahhhhhhhhh I’m working that weekend noooooooo!!!
I’m gonna try my best to see if I can switch with someone for a morning shift, then I’ll be out of work at 5pm or so. Then there’s the ride issue.
What day this weekend? I work Fri and Sat this week but can switch a day, I’m sure.
Stop kidding around guys, 3rd Strike players don’t work.
Not sure yet. Hopefully will have more details today or tomorrow.
OOOOOOOookay. I’ll bring the bitches.
I’m not a 3S player. I have a job. 
Also, I seriously would have shown for this weekend but the UFC fight is at Staples this time and I’ve got a suite completely paid for it. But I wish you the best in Japan, man, and wanna thank you for all the knowledge you gave me at EVO, bro. Hopefully, if you come back to the U.S., some of us will be stronger!
Damn bro. Wish you could make it, but I understand. Come visit me in Japan!!

Stop kidding around, 3s players aren’t super pimps, even Kuroda fanboy knows it about the man with the shirt. BOSS & MOV probably are though. Get on their level.[/details]
Guess there’s no BangBus to TJ, get off 1 stop early.
I’m trying to come on down, NorCal scrub jungle-ist, pad player, talk a lot - but I don’t do that so much in person.
Have funds to get down to SD Airport, but not rental car to get around traffic nuts SoCal. Would like to head there one night, 2 days total to make it worth it or have a place to crash from definite travel fatigue.
If anyone can help me out with that, I’d really appreciate the efforts thrown my way.& compensate you probably close to the amounts those Vegas cabs cost. For reference dang near a $20 bill every ride. Please leave me with money for food / beer to buy and share!
I would expect this to be a minor miracle given the timeframe and not being in the SF3 scene long. But given all the cool shit going down at EVO, miracles like me being a nobody & still find both the SF3 hotspots and coming across Kokujin 1st to give him the information on where that was the very next day, he grabs other Japanese players that we didn’t even know were there and we all had a great time.That was some miracle stuff, not to tout as something that makes me worthwhile and hang my hat on but just how well sometimes things can align so well to go beyond anything you dreamed about.
As a selfless guy, almost always putting others before myself, I know how to be grateful for those who offer help when they really did not need to. I don’t usually ask for help, even when I don’t have my shit together, always try to do it on my own. Sometimes you can’t and need helping hands so it shouldn’t be a loss of pride to ask for help right?
Long winded, wrap up, my bad. This might be all from late night thoughts I should be in bed right now for and not be writing down for public consumption. Need to see SoCal, natural habitat, get hazed as such - not particularly a colored haze pherai and some doods do though!
man i really want to go to this, if anybody in socal has room ill throw in gas money <3
I will see about borrowing a car for this if Vince can’t go. And if that is the case I’ll PM the two of you.
HAX, Though, I’m not really sure if you’re asking to be driven to your hotel and back or if you’re asking me to host. I don’t have room for hosting but I’m sure we can figure something out if all you need is a ride ack to your hotel or whatever. We usually knock out at Ryan’s huehuehuehuehuehuehue
played on XBOX, a 5starBR, he didn’t pick Ken and go huehuehuhue. Disappointed.
Yeah, I’ll PM as I get more situated, details. Thanks for offer, hopeful plan sir.
No… you stay out of his house when the host says its closing time. Have you never seen the end of MTV Cribs?
"You ain’t got to go but you got to get the hell up out of here!!
I got a lot of ppl staying this weekend, I am kinda worried…
Was hoping to have the tourney in the day/early evening because i dont think i can house everybody. sorry guys
No biggie, I don’t need to spend the night. It’s just convenient.
Friday or Saturday, I gotta find someone to cover me before then!
Back throw them into the corner to change places.
WorkStrike.
Friday is np, sat im a bit worried…
btw tourney is Saturday!
ok I get at 5 on sat so I might be there a little late but be there for certain I will.
3s!
ok bad news guys. tourney is gonna be cancelled. gonna have a going away party on sat. Sorry guys, dont hate me.
Would’ve been the coolest “Major for 3s” in the US for the next 2 years I bet, completely confident in that.
Didn’t have to be a giant venue fee [details=Spoiler](Nor Cal regionals San Fran State College, read it was $50-60 per player something ridiculous for just a cold dark college auditorium and metal chairs)[/details] bullshit money down Tournament
– Why “Tournament” at all since that = stress from organizing.
All us doods trying to get out there, considering Hotel accomodations, getting work schedules changed. Organizing smelly dude rides like rolling with ThongBoyBebop. no 1st hand exp, the 3s scene was told this on DrSub old old podcast show. Hey what about Podcast #2?!
At least talk about the Ryan sendoff party. :tup:
yea i just think i got over my head. cant house that many ppl and the garage is a bit small. sorry. was a little buzzed when i made the original post and sounded really sick at the time.
podcast 2 is recorded. but me and yuuki were kinda drunk in it and repeated ourselves a lot. contemplating just scrapping it loll.
