I’m not setting a good example by following up with the drama on this thread. I just want to say I sincerely apologize. DSP lets take this up another time…for now lets concentrate on supporting TGA with this event that they are trying to run. Play the neutral roll. But remember after this is… All bets are off, in closing…
Your a bum! :lovin:
Looking for a ________ player to join our ________ team at the SBO __ Qualifier to go against _______, _______, _______ and the rest world!
(Fill that blank in!)
I don’t see it as a threat. If you can create a team stronger than the Justin, Ricky, Pyrolee then whats the problem. So long as America does well if not win SBO.
ummmm ok
to tfgm
invested 100k and nothing to show for it but redirects us to your website 
why diss srk like that yet you spam your empire bs here day and night. MLG gone forward but what about empire? latching on to other peoples tournaments and having them hang a empire banner up isnt really doing nothing much
our tournament scene is shitty because we dont all agree on what format we want to play on console or arcade or what version of arcade. A game like smash is easy to run for tournaments there is only one format no disputes there
I give food and refreshments when peeps come over for gathering Empire Bacardi HAIL@!!!
Noone takes you serious because you talk like your rolling 20 sided dice for effect
6)(dont care about anything between you and dsp)
7)well its dsp
whats wrong with rolling a 20 sided dice
Before I reply to anything, I DO want to apologize for the mess in this thread, because this SHOULD be a thread about TGA quals. But since nobody else is talking anyway, and everybody is already hyped, (and nobody wants to team with Cen haha) I guess I’ll make quick comments.
I know exactly what you’ve done. You’ve helped out a very, VERY, VEEERY small percentage of the fighting game community, who live in NYC and surrounding areas, to travel to tournaments. However, all the people you’ve “helped” were already part of that community before you even came on the scene. You have done ZERO…read again closely…ZERO, to promote the growth of the community. All you did, was step into an already established scene at the height of MvC2, and started “recruiting” players who were ALREADY GOOD to your cause. Then you proceeded to shit all over the planet with your Empire Arcadia kiddie crap like it had anything to do with you that Justin or anybody else was good. Give me a fucking break! Name ONE player who is 100% Empire who GOT GOOD because of you? Name ANY players recruited to the scene because of Empire? THERE AREN’T ANY! All of your 100k (I’d love to know where that number came from and where all the money magically came from?) went to nothing and did nothing.
Everybody knows MLG sucks and nobody is saying you did anything bad by cancelling Magfest. But the fact is everybody has been waiting for this huge tournament for years, hoping that Empire might finally make a real impact on the scene besides just throwing around banners and shirts. And the shit fell through…who’s fault is that?
You post on a fighting game message board, then when somebody asks what you’ve done for the fighting game community, you call us elitist? Blow it out your ass, moron.
Your “greater gaming community” is 10 times more elitist and inclusive than anything I’ve said. Your Christmas party was for a select few who are in the Empire and apparently live in NYC. If it was an open invitation for the “greater community” maybe there would have been some notice on SRK? What you need to realize is that nobody outside of NYC cares about Empire because Empire only seems to help those in NYC. So why should anybody give a fuck, unless they’re dickriders who want to be part of it?
You look like a fucking fool, you know how life works, either play the game or sit out and shut the fuck up. If you can’t act your age then I don’t WANT you on MTV representing our community, because you turn us into a laughingstock. Better to get no press at all than have an idiot dancing around on national TV, making the world think that all gamers are pathetic losers.
Oh no, you don’t respect me! That’s great, because I don’t anyone ever really respected you in the first place. While you were busy posting like you live in the middle ages, hyping up your clan, acting like a fool everywhere from Texas Showdown (getting told to shut the fuck up for arguing over basketball) to ECCX, causing a scene wherever you go, making the entire community a laughingstock…THERE WERE OTHER PEOPLE GIVING THEIR TIME, MONEY AND EFFORT TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING TO PROMOTE THE COMMUNITY AND NOT THEMSELVES. People like Phi on the East Coast, Todd Dwyer and Henry Cen back in the day, Jae always with the assist, Ranma and Javi in Texas, Jason Wilson running shit every year at Midwest, Joey Cuellar and the Cannons and the entire old school cast on the West Coast who fucking BLEED Street fighter, THOSE are the people that deserve my fucking respect. They have sacrificed to keep this community alive, and now we have Andy at TGA taking up the reigns. And we appreciate the shit out of that.
You want to shit on people? You want to say people are cheap? DO YOU THINK ANY OF THE PEOPLE I JUST MENTIONED ARE CHEAP? Do you have any idea how much of their own time and money they have donated to make this fighting game community successful? That’s probably something you wouldn’t know anything about, since you seem to do a lot better job hiding behind message boards and acting like an eight year old than doing anything constructive for anyone here on SRK who doesn’t live in your little clique-like group in New York.
The cheap people you’re talking about are a select few who blow their fucking money on drugs. That’s existed at every video game convention, role-playing convention, sci-fi convention, SPORTS convention, fuck in every single event EVER in the history of man. How does that apply to anyone intelligent? Maybe if Street Fighter and other fighting games could become more organized, we could put something together and get MORE people and MORE COMPANIES to actually want to sponsor us to do shit. Fighting games haven’t failed because people blow their money on drugs, they are failing because we can’t put our fucking heads togehter and prove to any companies that we are an established, structured series of events that are consistent and warrant any kind of sponsorship.
In conclusion, you are nothing but the Emperor of a bunch of hypocrites. Your Empire is nothing but an inclusive group of gamers who locate themselves in NYC and really have nothing to do with anything at all besides self-promotion. You have done nothing constructive for this community, because it existed way before you and I guarantee it will exist long after you disappear. Why? Because this community has individuals who are willing to SACRIFICE to keep it alive, becuase we love Street Fighter and the spirit of competition it stands for. We are TRUE competitors who know what it’s like to compete and love that feeling, and won’t let it die. I may joke that I’m the King of Hate, but under it all I’m just trying to keep the one thing that’s been a constant in my life since I was 10 years old alive. I don’t care about the popularity or the drama, as long as 13 years from now I can still attend EVO or ECC or whatever they’re calling it, and let loose, get a few games in, and play the one thing I’ve loved for more than half of my life.
Do us all a favor here at SRK, and don’t post here again. You have your own message board and if you have anything to say, the only people that will care are those in your inclusive group anyway. Stop making a joke of the 99% of the community that knows you are one, and doesn’t want your idiotic antics to rub off on them. Street Fighter will live on without you. Goodbye.
Why’s everyone gotta talk shit and hate on each other? Can’t we all just hold hands and sing songs and shit?
Supply beers, pls.
Hail Empire Bacardi for beers.
ahahahahah let the hate out… wow this shit still going on in this thread. am going to say this i DON’T LIKE DSP, but wat he’s saying is to good? what has the empire done for us fighters? nothing dat i have recall but taking people’s money and trying to move in on people’s spot’s and try to take shit over. you mof’s are like a random case of cancer that need’s to be destroyed. don’t get me wrong i like some of y’all nigga’s in the empire like art, jeron and someother’s? but that take over shit y’all trying to do ain’t going to happening no time soon? so just stop the bullshitting and let it go.
fuckin A, can t we just all agree i m the best in marvel?
people be like "OMG…"
the good kind of OMG
KOfiend has the dopest MSP
KOfiend >>>> J WONG
Can all this childish nonsense please stop? I mean, I know ppl get turned off by Empire’s mideval role-play talk and all that, but I don’t think that’s all they’re about. I think the members do all they can to help promote the gaming culture and the community. Yes, like anybody trying to achieve something, they have been faced with doubters, critics, and people who have just totally disrespected them, as well as with personal setbacks within their ranks. But they are doing what they can with As far as the tourneys only being for NYers, I remember players from NY, NJ, PA(pennsylvania, not port authority this time), and Maryland coming out to tourneys in CTF,:wonder: so I know that EA tourneys are NOT exclusive only to empire members. And from what I’ve seen from a majority of it’s members, EA doesn’t focus on making things better for just the FG genre, but ALL game genres.
People in general come to think of EA as mostly elitist, but that couldn’t be more further from the truth. In fact, two gamers in NY that I’m really good friends with are in the Empire(Harlem Villian and the Heroine); They’ve welcomed me, a non-Empire gamer with open arms. And that Christmas party that went down on Saturday was an OPEN invitation to all, because Jeron did post it on SRK, and then TF suggested to make it a Christmas party-tourney where people could get together. That was open to anybody who wanted to go.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion; if soemthing’s not your cup of tea, that’s fine, but it’s stupid and immature the way people flame and troll on EA, and from what I’ve seen, it gotten really OLD. So just stop all this and just move on; or make a seperate thread from this one, and call each other out on THAT one. With that said, Congrats once again to Andy and TGA for securing that SBO qual on the EC; now I’m not sure where I wanna go in March…TGA or TS6 :lovin:
::Shrugs:: what can I say Bacardi and DSP you guys have your selective opinions and versions of the Empire. There is no changing your mind about it, so lets just leave it at that and focus on TGA/SBO. After that we can argue like kids and have fun. :lovin:
Until then. Hail. LOL
I guess you can’t read, so let me repeat:
Leaving that said, I hope that all goes well with the TGA qualifier, and I will do my best to get there. It might be tough with Texas Showdown around the corner as well, but I have to admit having an ST tournament as well as SBO quals at one event is a big reason for me to be there to record…and also talk shit. I will do my best and I wish you the best of luck, Andy.
::Shrugs:: Pokes
:sad: :sad: All I wanted to do was play Rog and Chun :sad: It was a challenge to myself. :sad: :sad:
I dunno, all I’m saying is I saw blocked Ken sweep against metered Q… :lol:
I usually speak without bias on matters, though. If Ricky IS a hell of a lot better than last year then I’d much rather he end up going.
On the matter of “off-character specialists”: this pretty much explains why a team with Q and Hugo can get so far…
for people who put long posts, i am too lazy too read that shit but wanna know what the drama is all about
could you put like the gist of what your post is at the end of every long post? thanks, it’s much appreciated <= not being sarcastic
Trust me, its not worth trying to understand, its some Empire hating stuff. The real question however is, I hope Canada can compete at the TGA in Rhode Island. They are great and gave the Empire a run for its money at T6…in fact they were one of our toughest challenges in over all gaming of 2005. Although we won teams 3rds strike; the singles were ugly for the Empire. They bursts us up pretty bad! Like…real bad. :sad:
LOL at fake ass apologies. If you were REALLY sorry and apologizing you would have edited the bullshit out of your post instead of posting directly AFTER it and apologizing.
“I’m really sorry but I’m still going to leave this bullshit up here for you to read even though I have a good chance of ending this by editing my previous post instead. I’m really sorry!”
EC drama at it’s best.
