But who won the tourney? Cmon man, I’VE put Jason in losers before and then got creased in the grand finals like Sam did. Doesn’t seem to imply that Jason’s getting any worse or that everybody else is getting any better.
No hate, that shit’s been extinguished from my heart. But if it walks like a duck…
I was just playin man. Kinda. I know he’s beatable and I’m trying to psych Sam and I out to go and take care of business. That and I wanted to use Threo to make a joke.
BTW lost me with the analogy. I think you’re just sayin that Jasons still good and everybody else is kinda stayin the same. We’ll see.
You know what’s sad is that there’s a Smash tournament at school next Friday. It sounds really tempting.
I’m sry but what’s with everyone having the defeated mindset for sfiv? (Saying sfiv and not Seattle marvel cause the top 4 for marvel has been pretty much on lock since since cody started playing ffxi). Like I don’t get how you can say no one is good at sfiv yet, but then go and say that mandel and cole are going to dominate around here. Pretty much everyone has an equal chance to dominate around here especially with the addition of 8 more characters, it almost like walking into a new game right now.
This also applies to st. I’ve heard ppl say how they can’t touch beasily or mandel or axel in ST, yet you had evan come out of nowhere and almost send beasily to losers. Now don’t get me wrong the players just mentioned are good, but they aren’t gods. Instead of saying to yourself “there’s no way I can beat beasily”. Ask yourself “what can I do to beat beasily?”
Case in point: at one of the SF4 tournaments I had to face cole in losers, instantly I thought to myslef “well, looks like tournament is over 
here comes the rain clouds. Then I shook that mindset, and just thought. Let me go in and play the game that I know how to play and see how far it gets me.” I did lose to Cole 2-1, but after the tournament was done Mandel walked over to me and just outright said. Frank I thought you were going to win there. I think a lot of ST just need to try and break these mental blocks about other players. I as well need to break some mental blocks too. But if we can get past that, then we will all get better as players.
Zass if I butchered ur last name I appologize.
If I could rep you Frank I would. I think what you touched upon could make for a really good thread. I think a lot of people could learn from a thread like that.
LOL at no one being good at SF4 but yet claiming some people are already dominate. How stupid.
ive played in one marvel tourney. i used cable/doom/strider and team ugly (strider/doom/bh). i didnt go 0-2. but i had a great time playing. i played for the first time in months at ians house, only to get destroyed by jmar, with his handicap to the lowest setting. i didnt do horrible, but i wasnt at the highest skill ive ever played the game at.
the point is, he’s a beast, but i still had fun playing that game. but that was it, fun. i didnt wanna play all night to try to beat him. and seeing what im still able to do after all this time is nice.
ive never trained hard in marvel. i did in cvs2 and sc2, and i did pretty well in tournaments. sf4 is a game tahts more than fun to play. it makes me wanna excel at something. i want to be good. and im glad a game came along to rekindle the flame of the fight!
you cant say marvel is to jmar/rat/row as sf4 is to mandel/cole/mickey. the game is still new and theres still time to invest to get good. we’ll see if we’re still playing this game 10 years from now.
They were just speaking hypothetically. It may be fairly likely that the top 2-3 dominant people at the game will begin to show their prowess after a few months or so on console.
The point of the argument was basically just to say that “don’t play games with people that are better than you” is pretty nonsensical.
