Hate Fucking Mode Bitches!!!

Those WC people need to get their shit straight so we can finalize the tourney formats.

Andy whats the final verdict?..

seems to me like the person in charge of the WC quals. is not gonna speak up until the last possible min…

it seems to me that there probably isn’t anyone in charge of wc quals and we’re waiting for no one

Haven’t heard any word of the WC qual being at ffa.

If he did, then he would be overstepping the bounds of whoever runs the WC qualifier, when it is his none of his business. Also. the rest of SRK would again get their vaginas all sandy over nothing.

To my knowledge, the SBO commitee has already decided on a location for the US west coast qualifiers, and said location has been notified. Why they have not made this news public is beyond me.

(No, I do not know where the WC qualifier is.)

-Dippy

They (sbo) have already spoken to this mystery person…

…this person knows all the details as well as Andy… Andy is waiting for this person to contact him so they can be on the same page.

Andy will not disclose any details until he’s contacted, so SRK doesn’t think that he’s overstepping the bounderies…

As most of you know already, the only game the US has been given spots for at the SBO tournament is 3S. Mr. Yamamoto and the rest of the SBO committee have been gracious enough to allow 2 spots to the US this year. The EC qualifier has already been announced. Andy has been putting in lots of work for this EC qualifier so much thanks to him.

The SBO commitee also has decided that the WC qualifier is set to be held at FFA. Official announcement should follow shortly. (most likely from Kuni Funada)

I highly encourage everyone to go and show their support for either of these qualifiers. The great improvements in US 3S scene is one of the main reasons US keeps getting spots in the SBO tournament.

BTW, Tougeki Spirits magazine, (by Enterbrain, responsible for Arcadia magazine) contains news of the fighting game scene from all over the world. (France, US, Korea, etc) The latest issue contains a feature about the rise of the American 3S scene since the first US vs. Japan event. You can also find a picture of Justin and Nuki at the conclusion of the 3S finals from last Evolution tournament. Hopefully, the US can continue to make strides of improvement in not only 3S but every fighting game.

Awesome, we got two pieces of info for the price of one.

In all honesty though, I think that the US has lots more chances to win at ST than in 3s…Japan is so so SOOO fucking ahead of us in that game it’s hard to catch up…on the other hand I think that if we all sat down and practiced ST (all the people in the “secret tournament” for instance) we would be whipping their ass. The problem is we are too widespread and the game is so old nobody really cares…plus it’s already out of SBO. BLAH!

I knew it was choi that had the info…lol. Hmm…that info is interesting though. Thanks Choi.

Did you know that none of the REAL ST players have been to evo eccept maybe Daigo and Gian and the others still usually place, USA would get destoyed in ST worse than in 3S imo.

No way

That’s the spirit DSP! :rolleyes:

Yo fuck that “Step your fucking Game UP!” Yeah yeah I’m saying that and I don’t play pro. Your point. I’m going to give you a Japanese proverb or story or whatever you want to call it, to show you where I’m coming from.

(hey I’m trying to recite the story the best way I can, don’t flame just because its not completely accurate. Remember…its the message that matters not the messenger.)

One day the Emperor <— :wink: (LMAO) requested the best tea of the land delivered to him by some poor guy from the country for a celebration in 2 days. The poor tea man created his best tea to bring to the Emperor and decided to bring it to him a day early. (for whatever reason that is) On his way to the Empire the tea man accidently bumped into a Sword Master and spilt the Tea all over him. The Sword Master felt dishonored by the Tea Man. The Sword Master drew his blade to kill the Tea Man but a passing wise man softly spoke. “Wait! Master Sword Man. It is obvious that the Tea Man can not battle you right now. If you are going to take his life then give him time to prepare himself so that he can fight you in a honorable fight”. The Sword Master said, you have one day to train. We will meet again on this road to the Empire where we will battle to the death. The Tea man had no choice but to accept or risk fighting right there and then.

Shortly after the Sword Man walked off, the tea man looked back at the old man and said all you did was prolong my death. I know nothing about fighting with a sword. All I do is make tea. It is the only thing that I have mastered in my life. The old man said, you have one day to take the same spirit and concentration to practice the use of the sword. If you can put the same effort into mastering how to make the best tea in this land and channel that into how to use the sword then you will be able to give the Sword Master a honorable fight. The tea master replied: “But that doesn’t mean that I am going to be him, he is a sword Master.” The old man then said: “At this point the only truth you need to know is that we will all die one day. All that matters now is how you use what may possibly be your last day to fight for another. What is more important is that you deliver that tea to the Emperor.” The Tea man nodded and returned home.

During the remainder of the day and night the tea man trained harder than he ever did making tea when he was not the tea master. The next day came, and the tea master met the sword master on the road to the Empire. The Tea man ready with sword at his side and tea in his left hand stood in front of the sword master who drew his blade and readied himself. The tea master asked the sword master to allow him to pass for he had to deliever tea to the Emperor. The Sword master denied him and told him that his skills would prove superior because he is the master at what he does and he will not meet the Emperor ever. The tea man told him that he left him no choice. Both drew blades, the tea master gently threw the tea up in the air, they both motioned their swords. You hear the samuria Shodown sword clashing affect. There’s a pause. The Sword Master falls over and bleeds to death. The tea falls from the air and the tea Master catches it, with not a drop spilt. Donny Yen the tea master then walked over Jet li the sword masters body and brought his tea to the Emperor.

Later that day when the tea master arrived to the Empire and giving his tea to the Emperor. The Emperor enjoyed the tea but was bothered by the death of his best sword master. The Emperor had no idea who would replace him. Then the old man came from behind the Emperor and saw the Tea master. The old man then said: “Emperor, may I suggest to you the Tea master.”

yeah yeah…that’s the way I remember the story. :angel:

Hmm…

There’s now a slim chance I might show up.

Gotta cheer on for my peoples.
