Tennessee Thread - Where mixups are cheating

Yes dream you read right lol. I actually play much better during money matches than anything else. Just ask bishop i’ve shown him some of my past mm footage lol. I’m just kidding about the 100 tho cause i know nobody is gonna do it here but with the right comp and time to practice again and get back into it i would gladly mm for 100 in either game vs anyone that wants it. Next time i go to nashville which will be soon actually i’ll stop by the arcade so we can get some games in both 3s and st so you can help me level up. Lack of serious comp is really killing my desire to play or even get better here which is why i can’t wait to move.

ggs to everyone last night

I think I did something last night that Daigo or Justin has never done made some one rage quit during button check

Justin epic match I was fucking scared beam beam beam but luckily Sent pulled that shit out

Squab sorry about Logan haha

Eraser good shit winning SF ranbat AGAIN, hopefully Fei will have something to say about this in the near future

Bishop damn you will for knocking me out, but you did make me laugh my ass off at Hueys so your forgiven

Johnny stop losing to Dax and being Slaw all around

Abe I may just come for games Fri dont really need to spend money right now

Good shit Majin at winning Marvel even though you dont play the game lmfao

Sunstone prepare yo self to get destroyed son

good to see you come out GDBell beating Eraser in Marvel you must be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than Johnny is to do that

Welp, if peeps would rather just play we can arrange that. However, seeing that there is the trip to Oxford the next day, how many folks are going to be available for a Friday night session?

I have no objection just holding off on a session til the gathering on Saturday.

So how many of my Marvel peeps are coming up to GG (in Hickory Hollow) Saturday? Jacob Sparks, Phil, Patrick, and Luis… you all better be there.

If they don’t come AStaroth you will be stuck beating up on training mode or Eugene, LOL

I hate to tell you this, but I will not be able to make it up there. Tabitha is taking her mom somewhere and my car has been dead in front of my house for the past few days. Mike is MIA as well. Neoblood has to work. And since my xbox live account is still banned I haven’t even been playing.

So my very own EVO monitor is now sitting proudly in my living room. Big thanks to Squabbler for helping me set that up!

If I’m not mistaken this now makes 8 fight night regulars with a full EVO monitor setup. This is enough to run a tourney, methinks…preparations must be made.

One last note for tonight, I’d like to get a headcount for either 5 guys or a Friday night session. Post up here or send me a text so I can figure out whether I need to host or not. Much appreciated.

I tried play xbl after a week of being addicted to Terraria. God damn this laggy shit.

really sorry, but i can’t come saturday. i gotta work, and I cant afford to give up the day.

AE, marvel, AND 3S… FUUUUUUUUUUU

Agreeeee. Those tournaments are always pretty fun/hype/etc. As is NEC, which I plan on going to in December.

just got back from HP7 Pt.2 damn that was godlike best in the series

I think it’s absolutely hilarious that Maj won Marvel. Silly work, I would have liked to have seen that.

Good shit, Eraser. And Maj, but he doesn’t need me to tell him that.

Also, who the hell is Joshua Patten? I will drive 5 hours to Memphis for Mak dittos, I’m dead serious.

Come to Memphis for Jas’s party on the 30th for cookout / drinkin / games… free to stay the night too I’m sure… Gives you two weeks to plan / get the cash!

Is 3s something I can learn in a day?

If I’m not mistaken, That’s Josh the Tekken player. I believe Tekken was his main game, but he played Makoto since super.

Edit: Dream, did you get a chance to test those converters yet by any chance? Thanks in advance.

Edit#2: If there is no comp here for Marvel or whatever, then why did Majin, who doesn’t play the game, beat Bishop, who is the number 1 rated MvC3 player here in Memphis?

You can’t seriously tell me there is no comp for Marvel here when Majin decides to randomly show up, play in the ranbat and win it? If you are going to say there is no comp in a city for you in a certain game, it better damn well be an accurate statement.

Hold your vagina for a second… I’m pretty sure he’s saying that the comp level has dropped off from what it once was due to lack of interest in the game dropping (at least I think that’s the case)… We have a decent scene for it, actually pretty good, if people really want to get good… but it’s all up to us as a whole, not just one or two people… There’s a big difference between general competition, and people that take the game serious…

If that’s what was meant, that’s what should have been said. There have been several posts over the last couple of threads lamenting the lack of serious comp here in whatever game.

My opinion is simply that if you are going to complain about lack of comp, then what happened last Marvel ranbat? This isn’t directed at you Squabb, but if someone is going to complain about the lack of competition, then he had better be best in Memphis. Plus, if you are best in Memphis, and you want the comp level to rise, then help your fellow players.

That last part is more of an organizational thing. it’s hard to have real training sessions at fight nights or gatherings. Which is another reason i think everyone who is involved in the scene needs to sit down together and discuss where they want the scene to go.

Guys I have more good news, the winners of the three major tournaments at Gvegas are going to get another prize. In addition to winning thier prize money for the tournament, console surgeons is going to repair any Broken XBOX360 for them and guarentee that it will not Red Ring again for 2 years!

So to Recap the winners will get the following for these three tournaments.

MK9
winner gets 70% of all Mk9 tournament entries
A gift certificate to Video Game Cavern.
A Repair of any XBox 360 warrentied for 2 years. ($75 value)

MVC3
winner gets 70% of all MVC3 tournament entries
A gift certificate to Video Game Cavern.
A Repair of any XBox 360 warrentied for 2 years. ($75)

SF4AE
winner gets 70% of all SF4AE tournament entries
A gift certificate to Video Game Cavern.
A Repair of any XBox 360 warrentied for 2 years. ($75)
Red Robin Gift Card

For starters, it is 3 of the top 4 in Marvel saying this, so I would consider that to be “best in Memphis”… I wish there was more SF comp here, I mean realistically we have like 5 people that REALLY play the game anymore, and that’s dropping… The exact same thing is happening with Marvel, so I can see where they are coming from…

Yes, training at fight nights you can pretty much forget about now because of how big it is now… However, gatherings are a different story… you can definitely get training sessions in, people just need to bring the setups… Plus, why does it have to be a gathering or fight night to get a training session in?! I’ve played with numerous regulars just randomly one night, and guess what, those are 100x better and more informative than any gathering or fight night… all you have to do is call someone… IMO, the scene is going how it should… on its own and growing without any forcefulness… what do we need to sit and discuss?

“…and you want comp level to rise, then help your fellow players.” – This holds true to an extent. I can’t tell you how much Bishop has helped me in Tekken, Jas/Bishop in Marvel, and Anthony/Sev/O in SF… but guess what… There’s only so much they can help with before the ball is in your court and YOU need to hold up your end of the work…
