Jons gotta work, he’s definately not goin. I’m almost positive mike isnt either, i was just in fl chillin with them. Brandon told me him and rick arent, dont know about seattle though. =, Guess a lot of people arent feelin console or somethin.
Vegita-X: Dude, you do not need to tell me this.
In arcade casuals, Ive played people that normally pick Psylocke as a crutch pick TRON (who plays COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from Psylocke) because itll supposedly help them beat Wolverine easier DESPITE the fact that theyll be disadvantaged against whoever comes after me. They pick Tron just for me, you see. As if Wolverine or I are that much of a threat.
I guess I am, because I can beat their silly asses anyway. In any case, thats just arcade casuals, where you have to stick with your same team. In console casuals, its nothing but counter teams for me. So yeah, you dont need to tell me people wont be taking it easy.
People will do anything they can to get that win. Its as if theyll do everything but convince themselves that theyre capable of winning either way. Its all about that judgment at the end of the round. Computer says YOU WIN, then shit you win. Dude, if I brought you down to a shred of your life I STILL fucked you up. Computer aint giving me no bottom line.
All that aside, the wild card team has to also accept the possibility that the people we play in tournament may pick low tier (likely) or low tier based teams (even less likely) to prevent us from looking good or proving anything at all. Who knows, maybe someone will play one of their low tier casual streak teams so he can say he didnt care. Personally, Id rather play my best against Storm/Sentinel/AAA and get my ass beaten like a man but he might not give us the pleasure.
Like I said, it doesnt even have to be that: people could very well pick a top tier team with a low tier crutch to cop out of the responsibility. Storm/Sentinel/Akuma, for example (‘I lost cuz I had Akuma!’).
Now, lets take the case that we fought and won. Before anyone would even argue for low tier, they would first say that you, I or whoever did it was special before going on to think they can use Rogue, Wolverine or whatever low tier character was used to win. Ive seen this since the pre-shoryuken days of IRC.
potential Spiral user: I think Spiral might be good.
Viscant: Only when Duc uses her.
(after watching Valle get a 20 streak at SHGL with Zangief)
potential Zangief user: How come Zangief supposedly sucks when Valle can use him?
Dasrik: Zangief sucks. Its because hes Valle.
I even heard that Sakura was considered garbage until John Choi got on the scene and the reason Sakura is considered a success story (from low to top tier) could only be because A) shes got a devastating custom in A-groove (Shes totally underused in MvC2) and B) because back when Choi made her popular, there werent online forums for trolls to discourage potential Sak users by saying stupid shit like, Well thats because hes Choi. Back then, it was all underground knowledge. One guy from NorCal would use and win a tournament with her (Choi), one of the guys who witnessed it would take it back to his borough, and the bunch of lil scrubbies playing there would monkey-see monkey-do. Eventually it would get down to SoCal and Id be getting my ass beat at a local liquor store by a mediocre Sakura player in Alpha 2. That’s just the way it was when I began playing. The way it is now is a travesty.
I’m NOT blaming the forums. Just the trolls who think they know something yet don’t believe in themselves. sigh Fucking sissies.
So there even if you won, it wouldnt do anything for Rogue. The masses would rather believe that youre special before believing they could do it and that doesnt help SF at all. All this AFTER you overcome the initial disputes over the possibility that your opponent wasnt playing seriously. Because, after all, they COULD play a low tier based team to disclaim your skill OR put a low tier assist (in other words, less used but equally as good) on their roster and even if they did play top tier, youd have to win multiple tournaments with your character before anyone would even begin to think you are (much less your character is) good.
The first major tournament you win (which hasnt yet been accomplished) couldve been an easy bracket and fluke at the end or because you got a lot of lucky hits, OR because the second/third place opponent was DRUNK (which doesnt take into account how he got second or third place but HEYIve heard this fucking excuse before, too)!!
All this WHICH I HAVE SEEN FIRST HAND BEFORE and low tier hasnt even won a tournament yet. You havent won a major tournament. I havent.
ShitIm willing to take responsibility for it. Hey I SUCK! Hell no, it wasnt because I used Wolverine hell no, it wasnt because low tier loses to runaway hell no, it wasnt because of the sticks or because Im out of practice. Bottom line is: if you lose a tournament, its because you sucked. I wont even use my unwillingness to drive out too far as an excuse. If you claim to love SF but dont support the scene or lose in tournaments, you suck! Furthermore, youre not an SF player. I am not an SF player.
Youre truly only as good as your last win. Thats the standard and shit yeah, its pretty high.
So why let these faggots who talk shit AFTER the facts influence me in the slightest? and why care if people decide to pick low tier against me because theyre too humiliated to lose to someone who plays well, plain and simple? I dont. Whats more, I dont care if good players tell me Im good when THEY KNOW they can beat my ass and just want me to keep coming to contribute money to their pot percentage (eat shit, assholes). Theyll kiss my ass while Im down, sure but they wouldnt say shit to me if I whipped their asses (and I know this from experience).
People like us are hated, ridiculed, or looked down on privately and publicly (behind our backs, of course). Sure, sometimes people have the occasional conversation where were made out to be amazing, but Id rather people believe in and take it upon themselves to do something about what they dont like to see. You dont like seeing people get fried by Cable AHVB X3, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. You dont like seeing Magneto reset niggas to death, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. You dont like seeing the game broken by Sentinel runaway, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. How about the Storm/Sentinel/assist 100% DHC? Hmm? You think its ridiculous? Shut the fuck up and do something.
Because I simply cant be the hero for everyone whether I lose (Man, if only he didnt use low tier!) or win (Only he couldve done it because hes amazing!/That was just a fluke). Bottom line is people have to believe in themselves and Ive already done that.
Im already an SF success story because of this. I dont care if people say I am because I can play and sometimes win with Wolverine/a variety of low tier (shit just makes me roll my eyes) or if they say its because Ive been on the scene for a long time. To me, its simply because SF helped me to believe in myself and as far as Im concerned, ALL of the people who continue play (whether they place low or high) STILL dont.
The only exceptions to that judgment exist in my mind and are my personal favorites people that can lose and take it like a man. People that can play and keep their mouths shut. People who dont need a little fucking game to tell them what theyre worth. I truly hope theyre rewarded for their hard work and effort most of which was exerted WITHOUT a damn game.
Most of these bitches don’t know it’s all in the mind. Youre all some faggot ass bitches. Fuck yall. sigh
oh yeah! Vegita-X! I forgot I was talking to you! Heheh! Guess I went off on one of my tangents again, huh? :lol: Whoops!
Anyway the point is FUCK what our opponents do. I dont care if they play hard OR go easy. Lets just do our best to fuck em up and fuck what the fanboys slash haters say before or afterwards, right?
No, but for real Im feelin ya, man truly feelin ya.
haha wow
Brings a tear to my eye…cuz I didn’t understand it but
We all routin’ for Team Wildcard man.
Gonna be on dvd for sure.
And vegita has already proven that he can beat top tier so he doesn’t have to show anyone anything…and this is fairly recent so it’s not like he did it back when there wuz little or no "advanced tactics"
No ones gonna talk shit bout u zaza but I guess the anger will make u play better :lol: :lol:
Edit: Mixup is not going!!! wtf kinda evo is this when console master doesn’t come @_@
zaza i’ve always thought u were sick no matter what. :eek: u know i always pick high tier against u too. u should enter more tourneys!
i think a lot of people already know vegita x is no joke. i saw his vids from ecc. that rogue is scary. good luck to wildcard team.
EDIT: oh this is Def1n1tely posting.
Joe Zaza is my hero. Top tier in disguise 4 life.
big dave for team ec b
hes a beast
big dave for team ec b asap. this nigga on the block like parkin meters… he keep quarters,dimes, and nickels
haha damn, they need to pick a new captain then, probably you tho. EC reppin hard, NY and issac.
gg sir
big dave ec team b
supersize that batch
no mayo
with a side of skeet
and isaac for captain
Wow, I guess you had some venting to do. I still remember the brief version of this you gave me at the PSM tourney last week.
Nearly everything you’ve mentioned has crossed my mind. But you know what? To me, it just comes down to how well I play. I haven’t won a tournament either, but I don’t mind losing if I was playing my best. Most of my losses can be attributed to some degree of faulty play. So yes, I, too, suck, but since there’s room to do better it keeps the challenge interesting.
People “kiss your ass” because they like watching you play. Good low-tier can be fresh and interesting to see, particularly if the opponent is using high-tier. Hell, I’ve been playing my same exact team for years now, and players in the “audience” still take stronger focus to my matches than the others. And when Tony G picked Silver Samarai at the last RFC tourney, everyone paid attention because they were like, “Oh shit it’s Silver Samurai!! What’ll happen??” :eek:
Everyone likes to root for the underdog, and in our cases we’re always the underdogs. And players of all ranks give support to us, so I don’t think it is a scheme just to get extra contribution into the SooMighty fund. Most players don’t win tournaments, and this is ok. SF would be in even worse shape if every tournament only had 3 players. I’m going to enter Evo, and I can say with certainty that I won’t get 1st. I’ll be lucky to get 200th. I go to have fun.
And I’ll be rooting for team Wildcard, just like nearly everyone else will be. I only regret that I couldn’t be a part of it! Good luck.
-Justin K
i was talking about the Socal B MvC2 team, not CvS2.
i honestly think justin k is the nicest gamer in our community.
dude doesnt have a mean bone in his body.
plus his cousin is cute
jkizzle
Biggzy: I didnt read your who post but I saw you were writing to me. stop talking to me. please. my nuts are stale because you’ve been on them so long. Im starting to think its a hobby of yours to bug me. just stop talking to me ok? I dont exist to you. thx creep =]
JustinK should have been on wildcard team. the perfect wildcard team wouldve been Zaza, Justin, and Mike Z. no disrespect to Vegita, but Rogue/Storm/Tron is not a wildcard calibur team.
JustinK should have been chosen for team wildcard.
Keep reppin’ the 949, JustinK. Big Monkey Super for life.
workworkworkworkwork is going to own me:(
if some of the teams aren’t showing, then we should make ANOTHER wild card team. Justin K, Julius Jackson, and another guy who doesn’t use a Storm/Sent/Cable/Magneto based team. Maybe we can have a tryout tourney @ evo for it?
You never existed to me before faggot. You were always just a joke scrub who won local 12 man tournies.
I can’t wait til evo, when you get dicked.
you replied AGAIN???!!! lolol. go get some food and leave me alone. you sure do love to talk to and bug the one who “never existed to you”. go get a job, find a gf, a new hobby. ANYTHING. just make sure I am literally non-existant to you, instead of you just saying so out of anger and defense for your no life ways. aite? one more reply and I call cops on you. haha stalkin’ ass biatch :eek:
damn soo…just block all of his posts…he is a fucken fat ass faggot that aint got any thing better to do then just hate on top player…i think he is just jelous cuz he wants to praised
Hey Soo
If Yoy Play Justin Again
