Tennessee Thread-"We mash full screen supers even when they miss"-"WHAT AN ANSWER!"

I think you misunderstood what I’m trying to get at, which worries me and makes me think others may too.

What’s fun to one person may be hurtful to another. I may have been able to endure it in the past, but I’m having a hard time dealing with it now because I’m so stressed out with the rest of my life. I reached my breaking point. It’s not funny to me anymore.

I mean really, what more am I supposed to do here? I’m wearing headphones during matches to drown everyone out, but it doesn’t help when I have people practically dancing in front of me and shouting in my ear behind me. I need an environment where I can laugh, have fun, and get away from my problems. I’m not getting that anymore when I come up. Instead I’m constantly reminded that I’m fucked up because I didn’t get a saucer waitresses’ phone number, or because I drop too many combos in matches.

Normally it’s fine. Right now it’s not. I can’t make it any clearer than that.

You guys say it’s a joke. That’s fine. It might be a joke. Right now I don’t think it’s funny. If you guys are my friends, you’ll respect that and lay off until I can get my life sorted out. That’s what I’d expect my friends to do.

damn eraser putting me on blast you motherfucker!

From last thread:

@ Sev: It’d make too much sense for Capcom to throw Ganny/Eddy Honda duo in game. And you of all people should stop smiling because you play BAEK, one of the infamous OG characters that are over the age of 40(besides Paul and Law). The characters that weren’t in Tekken 3 or 4 basically. People who play these characters are wary of new installments because they don’t know whether they’ll be in, besides if its T5/T6/Tags. Whatever though.
I read the recent interview where they said they may include animals and characters that no one would expect, so that’s cool. In the end though, for SF x T, it’s gonna be a lot of wtf, because of all the liberties since Namco gave Capcom the license and said “Do what you will”. Same as Capcom giving Namco the license for T x SF. Both companies said they’ll try to stay true to the respective games while combining them in the respective styles. Capcom even said they had to go out and buy Tekken games and research them. It’s gonna be fun to see end results of each game without the other company having input. I’m going to buy it, of course, but it’ll have the same fate as my copies of SF4 and MvC3.
On that note, there’s absolutely NO reason for me to buy SF4 AE at all, obviously.

P.S. Smh at niggas that don’t respect Potemkin. I don’t even feel comfortable standing next to y’all. Even in real life, that giant fist may still come crashing down at any time. Or a slidehead from miles away. Better come correct, because that baby chicken hair Abel nigga cant ever hope to have anything on that real short ponytail boss. Just saying bro.

GeeDeeBell troll account was hilarious.

Lycan vs Duckie ground beef patty:
Way I see it, it just needs to be reciprocity all around. I met Orel before nearly all of you except Sev, and from that first meeting, we just somehow knew were could give each other shit at any time and it never be personal. And it’s been that way ever since. You all know Orel’s brashness and humor. You all know Duckie’s sarcastic wit and 1 frame comebacks. Peeps giving O flack for his post, but how was he to know that Duckie was on edge that day? I mean, it’s understandable because some of Duck’s personal probs that he shares with us, many of us would be too distracted to even play games and shit right now at all. Props for that. So how would you all feel if I walked into the next gathering, dropped a combo as usual, one of you calls me “slaw” and I proceed to let the nigga come out of me? I’m talking about the REAL nigga, the kind that dudes prob thought before they got to know me, and I just proceeded to german suplex niggas through Hastings chairs and tables and cuss and smash shit, while gangsta rap played in the music section? That’d be pretty fucked up huh? So naturally, if one of the guys I regularly shittalk with was getting scraped, and I talked shit, then you looked me square in the eye and told me to, “SHUT THE FUCK UP RIGHT NOW”, and I actually caught a whiff of that heat and recognized it was indeed real? It’d probably take all of the willpower and strength invested in me by God to not haul off and uppercut your draws off.

Because we just gotta realize that we’re all grown men. We need to communicate and such. If it’s one of those days, TELL the other person when they annoy you. Me and one of my guys from high school used to check and randomly do mama jokes sometimes. I hadn’t seen dude for awhile, until after my moms passed. So we’re up at Mt. Moriah on the courts, and I handcheck the shit outta this nigga when he tries to drive past me. He falls and I call him my “son”. He says well my moms called him “daddy” last night and afterwards made him a sandwhich with the last piece of bread. Ok…now…the whole court got quiet, because alot of dudes already knew my mom had died. More than that, this was my first time back hooping in a while, we losing, and it’s hot outside. This normally would be enough for anybody to pop off. Did I? No, even though my whole body burned up from the inside, i fought that urge. Common decency told me to actually LET THIS MAN KNOW that my moms passed away and we cant go there anymore. I think he appreciated me for that too, because in the society we live in, and especially where im from, dudes dont communicate like that when it’s a “bad day”, and harmless jokes usually turn into brawls in an instant. I always thought it shouldn’t be like that, especially between friends or associates unless you let them know and they still poke at you. Then x-factor ragemode is warranted and legit.

This gaming shit is competitive. I consider it a sport. Along with that comes shit-talk, piercing shittalk especially in Memphis. If you know you’re one of the people who randomly give people shit, and you arent feeling up to it that day, let people know before you put em on blast. Its the least we can do since all of us are ADULTS now(except Dax, and Marcus will be 16 to me forever). Plus it was Duckie. How would O know? If it was somebody like Andrew(Gene’s brother) or a random who NEVER shittalk or put down others, then it’d be understandable. In either case, both dudes are cool homies, I’ve seen both of them get emo before lololol, but I still hope it was simply a miscommunication and not a future awkward thing.

Plus, anyone who plays Marvel 3 should try to develop a tougher skin anyway. All the stupid shit that frequently happens in that game is naturally rage inducing anyway. So alls you can do to get through a set of alphabet dialing and x factor’ed buff niggas with round heads is to stay cool and collected.

what? how does this even work

What he said.

You never ate a “rollup sammich”? Made with the last piece of bread so it eats like a taco? Those are the best sandwiches. Nigga I make like 4 rollup sammiches at one time with a full loaf of bread just because. Smh yjdk…

oh hell yeah burrito sandwiches we used to stuff shredded cheese and pepperoni in that shit called it broke ass pizza

Pot Hocket
try Pean Locket too

Bootlegs pizzas look like it came out the totinos box

We called them half-sandwiches.

Jas posting: Dax,squabb and i should be there anywhere between 2-4pm with set ups as well.

Mike i swear dude you fucking crack me up every time you speak lol sorry to hear about your moms too i know that shit has to suck big time especially if you guys were really close.I know i am with my moms so i can only imagine.

As far as the whole Duckie thing we know now and it’s all in the open so let’s just not give him any kind of shit whatsoever and leave him be and just be supportive about it.

Shit. I had a rollup pb sandwich today with my last piece of bread for lunch and a totino’s party pizza for dinner. I’m officially poor now.

Anyway, this matter between Orel and I is strictly between the two of us now. I sent him a long PM a few hours ago that explains a lot of things, talks about what I need out of him as a friend, and hopefully clears up a lot of the confusion as of late.

edit: Much obliged Jas. That helps out a lot.

Nah that’s too extravagant.

Look…certified sammich eating says that when that breadloaf starts getting low, you already know to salvage that last piece. It’s an innard, and not the butt-ends. You’ve already used both of the butt-ends when you cooked that last bit of ground beef and didn’t have anymore hamburger buns. So that straggler piece is left sitting in the plastic. Waiting. Wanting. And you anticipate it. This was the origin of the “rollup sammich”. But now because of there deliciousness, rollup sammiches are common and made frequently, even starting from a full loaf. But they’re still the best when made from desperation. And once you run out of condiments but you have that ONE packet of mustard in the fridge behind the almost empty gallon of milk. Oh my fucking god, that is the single most awesome eat ever. It’s almost euphoric.

But like I said, it’s gotta be the specified conditions. Like extreme hunger and lack of groceries. That makes the combo stronger. Because you have that last bit of life left.

fuck.

Hey, I know this is extremely short notice but there is a Marvel tournament that is going to be held on Saturday with a $5 entry fee in Memphis starting at 3pm at Memphis State Univ. I just found this out by going out to the Smash weekly gathering that happens in Memphis, and apparantly it’s pretty hyped for smash so I’m betting there will be a few Marvel scraggelers waiting to get beasted out of their money. If you wanna go I’m gonna check my pm’s around noon so just give me your number and I’ll meet up with you at the school.

It’s all good. I can remember playing more SF4 than I should’ve while she was in the hospital, so that prob led to some of the ill will against SF4 that I never talk about. I never forgave myself for any of those times. But the whole fg scene was real supportive. And I didn’t have a car at the time. You know who helped me get around, and at those crazy times of night when my gf was sleep, or when she was busy? It wasn’t my other friends or “my niggas”. It was the “nerds”, “geeks”, and dudes I played video games with. Real talk. And Cody made me Booty Stick.

That’s the reward of being poor is that the everything tastes more godlike. And anything can be stringed into a “meal”.

Hmmm…I’m kind of interested in dropping by just to see who’s keeping remnants of a scene alive there now. The oldheads graduated or succumbed to real life. Must be some underclassmen I don’t know. Or Jan, he haunts that place. Anyway, I haven’t been on that campus in a loooong time lol.

woot plays smash? -100 respect

No, his “friend” does I’m sure he was just there to support him :rofl:

Btw, since I’m on SRK tonight I’ll spam with another random post.

Y’all have been seeing less and less of me at stuff. It’s because I have no time to do everything I’d like. So to remedy that, and rather than take cold turkey breaks that we know won’t truly happen, I just decided to do the sensible thing. Which is not dabble in any and everything I dont take seriously anymore. Randomly playing casuals and entering tourneys in games i never touch just to appease, support, and because i’m there. I originally did this when I liked sf4 and afterwards just because there was a scene building here with cool mofos and all that and to help Sev and Orel gather hype and players for the new age, post arcades. I met your asses, so I dont need to do this anymore. Even entering my fair share of Tekken tournaments without ever practicing and finetuning beforehand. Just using our matches for experience and training.

So i mean, long story short, I can’t front anymore. Tekken is the only game I wanna play, and now more than ever. Like, I actually get “salty” if I lose in it now. Because I’m smarter mentally and its my hands and reactions that are sucking ass. So its kinda like seeing yourself in a dream walking into the wrong door. Makes you want to choke shit. Cant make anymore excuses. In order to shake the distractions of real-life, i just need to focus on this one thing if i’m really to take it serious hobby. Gotta actually turn the game on, do what it takes. Not gonna enter a tourney if I havent played in weeks or practiced at all. Shit like that. It’s half-ass. Waste of time. And I want to legitimately make dudes throw their sticks/pads.

And needless to say it’s lost alot of steam, mostly due to Marvel and just the level of play for it. And there’s only 4 of us in this city who consistently travel or enter tourneys for it, and we play sparingly or not at all. I wish more people here would stumble upon it and get into it. Because its quite a few smart players here who’d def appreciate the technical aspects, creativity, and demands for high level play. But I’m not pushing for it because it’s NOT that friendly, doesn’t get all the exposure it needs, and isn’t the “in” game right now. I dig that and I understand. So there’s gonna be some weekends that I’m gonna hit Nash to play with Cody.

And piggybacking this, to also potentially play MK if I really like it. Nando has had the game for a week now, and is telling me all the things about I like to hear. Hell, I was just gonna play randomly for fun factor anyway(I love MK, especially if its a “decent” one), but if its more than that, looks like I’ll be hitting Richard’s FightNight orgasm fests. And btw, this is a Warner Brothers game. Whether the community respects it or deems it “worthy”…cough Gonna be plenty of money in this shit. cough Like how DOA4 was holding hands with Madden and shooters at big events even though it blew cock. Like how random person doesn’t know who won FR or Evo, but know who they see on tv shows or what have you. But if the game is actually decent, then I wouldnt feel like a sell-out lol.

So looks like ill prob be coming out to MidTN more for Tek and prob MK. Which means if you see me, I don’t want any of you speaking to me again. Lol but nah, it’s def not like Shawn going to the Netherlands, but I just don’t have time to try to be active and “mash” in other stuff anymore. Likewise, I don’t have time to half-ass Tekken just because I could get by. So that’s what it is. Real life boss battle and trying to win with time management and focus. If it’s a hobby I can’t take seriously, then I’d rather not do it. Hopefully this new mentality profits. Gonna take patience I don’t really possess, but gotta do it.

I’ll still be around sometimes though so dudes won’t get soft. You all have grew into fine young men, with your footsies, battle points, and front page checking asses lol. Just continue at it, travel and represent, and keep crunk shit alive.

I went because my friend told me there would be people playing marvel. I went to go play Marvel and there were like 3 dudes using pads wondering what the glowy red stuff I used to do alot of damage with was.
