I am guessing there is no WNF today, right? I finally got my car back monday. I am sure most of you all are preparing for evo though. 
WNF went down but I didnāt stick around more than a hour, I am busy packing/not being able to sleep >.<
It will be going on next week for sure! See you then ;3
Good luck to all our players out there at EVO. Hope to see one of you sneak out out of your pool.

What are you talking about?

Nothing bro, just saying that Iām surprise to see one of my psn friends make it far but heās been eliminated lol!! And whatās with the valley not making it far in mvc3? If an 8yr old boy (Noah The prodigy) can beat pros and make it top 48 at EVO for mvc3, whatās with the valley? Maybe he had an easy pool or people didnāt take him seriously because of his age but he kept me entertained for sure.
That boy is on another lvl man lol, he abuses the system! I respect his none mixup, mixups!!!
That 8yr old boy can probably rape everyone in the valley:pray: itās embarrassing :shake:
Well, you said it as if you were surprised because he sucks or something. Heās a āfriendā on your PSN list. But heās a friend of mine irl, back from our NC days. Gabe Knowles aka Psycho Gorath. Not sure if you were trying to judge him based on your online experience. Mahvel online is lulz. PSN makes everything 10x more lulz. Not a good medium to judge anybody.
P.Gorath may not win Wednesday Night Fights events, but he does very well. Especially considering the level of comp at Wednesday Night Fights. These weekly WNF events have pretty much more comp than the entire east coast. Heās a solid player who blows people up with Shuma. Not an easy task at all.
LONG VERSION:
Isolated beast syndrome. Too many kids got catapulted to local āfameā and āgahwdlyke!!1!ā status on these new games. They do just enough to beat the locals, and figure they are beasting, no reason to get better.
Some will argue, ābut I have no real comp, how can I get better? Better comp, makes you a better player.ā Arguably true, yet at the same time arguably false. But the following however, is fact. When you are losing because you are throwing out full screen EX moves, or doing moves that arenāt safe, both situations KNOWINGLY because out of āhabitāā¦ ie your friends donāt properly punishā¦ thatās not lack of comp. It may sound like it, but itās not:
āwell if I had better comp, I wouldnāt do that because I would get punished"
or
"Nobody ever punishes that move right, so itās habitā
See, it can sound like lack of compā¦ but think about it. You knew those moves were unsafe. You knew the moment you threw it out against your non-punishing friends, you were getting away with bullshit. So thatās your fault. You as a player threw them out because you were too lazy to learn how to play with those moves in the proper situation. There is a difference between āwow, I really didnāt know that was punishableā and ādammit, somebody is actually punishing thisā. Iāve seen so many locals do stuff that they know damn good and well is punishable. Then they go out of state, and some actual player goes, āseriously kid? Eat this. Enjoy your dinnerā.
I remember being at an NE1 Lan tourny. Some Ryu player lost to a Ken player. And he goes, ānobody plays Ken in my area, I didnāt know what to doā. Not sure if he was lying or not, but I lolād inside. Because he didnāt anti-air once the entire match. He controlled the ground pretty well, weather he knew what he was doing or not. But when Ken went airborne, he came down safely and on the offensive. As their battle progressed, he jumped more and more. Got to the point that Ken was always airborne. He realized, air is free to roam property and decided he would approach Ryu that way. Had Ryu shut down the air, that Ken player was free. Ken was getting murdered in the footsies/spacing game, and desperately took to the sky. Ryu player, instead of realizing this, opts to go with the āI donāt have x character comp, so I lostā statement. Which is bullshit. He lost because he was to lazy to incorporate a dragon punch into his game.
TL;DR:
Knowing their local comp sucks, some players choose to not maximize their ability and game because they can get away with bullshit and be lazy. And because they donāt know any other way, they end up applying that unsafe or lazy gameplay at tournies vs out of valley comp. (again, KNOWING that style or move is unsafe/lazy)

Just got back
Had to miss the finals cause I need to work tomorrow, but it was a blast
I lost to a Wolverine/Sent/Phoenix team 
it was still fun thoughā¦
And yeah I dont know why this EZ guy is so obsessed with the level in the valleyā¦
Iām not trying to take anything away from Noah, but all his opponents had a serious handicap with everyone in the room booing them and no experience dealing with that (Im pretty sure most of them felt they would be the underdog on a match on stage)
Anyway yeahā¦ a lot of kids from here enjoy the title of king of scrubs a lot and dont practiceā¦ its just the way it isā¦ thats the kind of players that these games produceā¦but oh well, yall hit me up if ya want to play some 3sOE when it comes out.
why so you can lol at me for trying :(, jk, i wouldnt mind learning the game since 3s david and foley made it look mad fun 
Not obsessed with the valleyās playing level, the valley has great talent and Iāve seen it myself!! However I have to disagree with J.D on Noahs opponents being āhandicapā!! Just because people booed doesnāt mean they were handicap. I believe they underestimated him because of his age pretty much.
A team with wolvy on it eh JD what a surprise =P
Ez I dont know kind of have too go with JD playing on that main stage if you dont have the experience of playing in front of that many people watching it can get too you most high caliber players have nerves of steel too not let things like that affect there game or if the crowds with you feed off of the energy playing in front of a crowd like that can have an affect on you.
Holly fuck EVO was crazy. Latif eliminated Tokido, then Daigo, then Poongko. Thatās a hell of a track record. Mad props and respect to Latif.
I was rooting for Viscant to win MvC3 the whole time. Gotta root for the old schoolers so glad he won. Mortal Kombat had me screaming at the screen to.
EDIT: Biggest EVO FAIL of all time
