Well, ever since the Gate closed down and a new place for competetive gaming opened, I wodered and maybe everyone else that participated, what happened to the league that was created a while back. Not so long ago I remember my team being tied for second place, trying to figure out a strategy to beat team Top Tier and whatever Deadly fatmans team is called. We had plenty of teams that constributed to making this league work, and it did. I am just wondering where did it go, hence, the title of the thread.
Anyone, feel free to post your comments about the league, and if we should finish what we started…
not a bad idea to finish what we started…granted we will need to cooperate w/ the new venue. Maybe talk to Ranma about it…never hurts…he’ll probably see this anyway and make a relevant post.
The best thing to do about the league prob right now is to just go on ahead and end it and distribute the money to top 3. This should have been done a long time ago. If he does decide to redo the league then he should just start over fresh. Until ranma tells us when he is going to pay the other money and end the league it makes no sense to just keep argueing about it. I have talked to many ppl who participated in the league and they think something shady is going on with the money.
All most ppl want and what I want is my money back because it’s weird that anyone with that type of credibility or someone so trusted by the fighting game community would not attempt to refund the money or let ppl know the status of an event that ppl have invested money in, I guess unless they were planning on continuing the league at a later date and if so we still have a right to know. And I know alot of ppl were saying it’s no big deal because it’s only $15 and thats how I felt too at first. But then I did the calculations which included atleast 9teams and each team consisted of 3 to 5 members at $5 a head, after seeing that the league brought in 600 plus dollars it’s hard for me to comprehend some shit like that. Thats the only thing that makes me skeptical about these seasonal tournies and the ppl who run them such as league or ranbats.
And especially ranbats, well especially** marvel** ranbats I don’t know what it is but I have this feeling that something fishy is going on but I guess we’ll have to wait and see. But on flip side we do have ppl who we don’t have to speculate about like Lay, even though he’s asian that fool is on the up & up and I wouldn’t mind if someone like him was handling certain afairs. I give him props on how smoothly 3S ranbats have been running because I haven’t heard any complaints until recently but I don’t know if he’s still handling things as of now. Anywayzz ppl don’t be suprised if this happens again, the real question is what are you going to do to make sure it doesn’t. But personally I refuse to let a nigga fuck me twice so I say Fuckem.

Man gene didnt think u was that crucial but i feel ya. I know its been some grumbling about it for a min. I feel the same way about the ranbats too. These niggas these days just scandalous. Hopefully yall who participated in it will actually get yall money back. Im also glad that ronald been keepin up with as much as possible with how much money went into the ranbats. That way there will not be ne prob with the money. Right now that nigga brad is winning but ronald is only 5 points away.
Honestly if anybody really wanted to know anything about what was going on you could always ask me. Its not hard to get a hold of me. In total the league brought in $300 total. There were only 7 participating teams, not all of them had 5 members actively playing in each event.
I hadn’t really written up any updates because quite simply there wasn’t anything much to comment on. I had planned on resolving the league after the Ranbats and Showdown 07 were finished. But I’ll leave it up to you guys to decide if you want to continue or end it. The final standings were still questionable with the exception of 1st place which was Team Top Tier. Because of some confusion over games Team Europe either didn’t finish or forfeited, theres different scenarios for 2nd and 3rd place.
Currently:
1st Top Tier (9-1)
2nd $3 (6-4)
3rd Don’t Give a Fuck (5-3)
4th Central (5-4)
Team Europe didn’t play DGAF yet, and was reported to forfeit to Central. So with that resolution Team Top Tier is owed $210, with the remaining $90 to be split up in some order or fashion to the other 3 teams I guess.
As for MvC2 ranbats, the past 3-4 times I’ve tried to run one people have been flaking out. The minimum is set at 8 people, not less and try to make it happen. If theres no interest, then we don’t run one. Either me or Daniel will attempt to run one next Thursday. Planet Zero at 9.
Iuuno it just seems fucked up sometimes so just disregard my ranting but this something that needs to be said. It feels like we get cheated and mistreated by a system that we have come to love and trust but there’s not much we can do about it because as soon as someone says anything, their either told to shut up or threatened with a ban from tournies or some shit like that. Damn, I mean you got niggas scared to even say that a button or a stick doesn’t work because niggas come at them with some bullshit. I’m tired of that fucking kiddie ass elementary bullshit, thats like a nigga going to go play basketball and then he takes his ball home because some nigga didn’t pick him on the team. Fuck that, Niggas try to treat us like bithces and keep us quiet when all we want to do is be treated fairly and not get fucked over. Too bad I aint just some house nigga you can try to silence just because you don’t want ppl to know what kind of fucked up shit that goes on. I believe it’s just common courtesy and respect, as Gamers we deserve this courtesy and as Men we deserve the same respect. Because without us, the major contributers to the gaming community, a tourny director or organizer aint shit but a good Idea and remember that. Don’t shit where you eat my nigga, cause your food will start tasting like shit and thats exactly what will happen to the community if you shit on us for too long.
And another thing , I’m sick and tired of you Cock Slobbing Swagger Jackers who hop from side to side just because you want ppl to be cool with you and that just lets me know that you’re just a yessa boss ass nigga and you gets no respect because the day of the day Geetchi is over Nigga. I learned along time ago not to trust a nigga that tries to please everybody. (aka) - Dick rider
Sorry but this is the shit we go through sometimes so I hope no one takes it personal.
haha random… where did these “sides” come from… you don’t have to make somebody an enemy in order to tell them your opinion. i give ranma shit about random stuff every now and then but i still respect him at the end of the day.
i guess that makes me a Cock Slobbing Swagger Jacker who hops from side to side.
that thing about lay… he stopped running ranbats for personal reasons or something… but that doesn’t really have to do w/ anything anyways…
more randomness-- my opinion is that we are fucking ourselves over as a scene. you can’t put yourself on a pedestal as “the major contributers to the gaming community” when the majority of the scene doesn’t CONTRIBUTE anything by not showing up for anything. pz caters to anime-lovers / bemani players / random scenes because they know that they can’t rely on us for anything and will treat us that way unless it’s proved otherwise.
this may be off the subject of league or whatever but as it has seemed to digress a bit…
…i have to say that i agree with mr.flowers here on a few points (possibly not directly related, but i feel similarly). maybe we dont put the money into pz that they really expected to us to put into it, but i know i personally have put in enough money to replace sticks and buttons on more than a few of those machines with top of the line brand parts.
as far as mentioning it to someone. i have done that and ive been given the head nod and nothing has happened. people seem to think its psychological when a part doesnt work right. to prove it, parts are switched with older parts, same parts, or not at all and its considered fixed.
but as far as people showing up and supporting the community, ive done my part and i still sympathize with this post. not to mention i play an entirely different game from a part of a community that shows up to venues more than any other.
quite honestly i dont think pz caters to anything other themselves sitting back collecting money from who ever they think they can get the most from. granted its a business, but no business should disregard their biggest customers on multiple occasions and call them whiners when they turn around.
We’re hardly their biggest customers. We are not they’re targeted group. It’s focused on the anime fanboys, period. If they were to replace the sticks with pieces of wood, nobody would even notice. And if we complain, it would probably just be in “our heads”. But those boys don’t care, cuz they get to talk to the PZ girls and that’s the only female interaction they’ll ever get.
I’m still not sure why people still go out to support that place. If I go somewhere and the service sucks or I feel I’m being ripped off, I stop going (which I did). We’re paying about $1 a game, with broke equipment. Wtf happened to common sense… I kinda understand the marvel players, cuz the cabinets are at PZ. But man, nobody should play ANY game there outside of the ranbats.
I’m not sure where I was going with this rant… but I feel better now
First off it really isnt that random. I understood the shit the first time I read it. Just cause niggas be acting like lil pussys and be all up on pz dick they cant see from behind all the shit in their eyes. These niggas r shittin on yall niggas and you dont even see it. As far as having a prob with pz I always had one. In my opinion they shit never worked right. Plus on top of that no where in america is marvel a dollar. Then on top of that I cant even get a stick to work properly. When I go to the staff they act like it cant be fixed. Everytime u go ask someone about it all u get is pz is losing money for doing somethin. If u feel like u a cock slobbing swagger jacker then thats on u. When I read the post I didnt think I was one of them niggas who a cock slobbing swagger jacker. I guess it just hit a little too close to home for u. As far as ranma and the sf league goes u tryin to make it seem like all a nigga had to do was ask u. That nigga ronald been asked u awhile ago and u just ignored it. I know niggas who say they asked u just last week and u ignored it. So of course a nigga is going to start a thread about it. Nigga u lucky I wasnt involved in the league cause if my money was on the line nigga would have paid me asap. I wouldnt have settled on having the subject changed. And I know yall niggas or going to come in here and be like well that is big chris just trippin again but I refuse to just bend over and let a nigga just fuck me in the ass.
P.S. I aint tryin to be funny makoto alex but u like one of them ppl who keeps jumpin in between two ppl when they about to fight and wonderin why he keeps gettin hit. If u dont feel like it concerns u then dont say nothin. Im pretty sure u not the person he spoke of. And if he feels like he has somethin to say let him say it u aint his master. If u feel like discussing this in person or away from the internet then u can call me tonite ill be @ rudys house with gene. For those of yall who have ne questions call rudys phone.
I’m setting up a meeting on Sunday Nov. 5th at 1pm at PZ to discuss all these issues. This gives us 2hrs to address everything before PZ opens at 3pm
This is regarding issues posted up on here. Internet rant is useless and doesnt solve anything. If you care about the community, show up and im sure we’ll figure something out. Almost every problem has a solution.
Im taking the incentive to do this because I care.
man this thread started out hella crucial!!! i do agree wit gene and alex on this altho a few of genes points were albit off. heres my 2cents…
the league.
-either we finish wut we started or money needs to be refunded. simply put, my team (me, gene, ronal, rudy, jan) invested in that shit and we had strats to win that shit. not to mention we would’ve had home court next tourny so we coulda got them points up like a mofo. but that didnt happen due to iunno wut. i’ll say that if we are to do the league shit still we need to hold them at the BEGINING of a regional. holding them at the end was a bad idea imo back then cuz most ppl dont wanna stay for shit when all the majors games are done. doing them in the begining allows them to be fresh and they wont fuckin leave cuz they jus got there!
the ranbats
-i aint paying for that stuff at all. i thought it was a good idea but iunno now seeing as to how cats jus dont show up at all. also i’d like to comment that on weds tekken still had a ranbat wit 5-6men? i kno u’ve run a ranbat for marvel wit that many men on a round robin ranma. double back tekken started at like 10:30ish? the last marvel ranbat damn near every1 showed up and it wasnt run cuz it woulda been run too late? i’m sure 2hrs woulda been enuff time cuz it was round 10ish that time too. and i kno ronal came out there for the ranbat for it not to be run even tho hes on a tight schedule, thas kinda off…i couldnt see why pz wouldnt want to get the lil extra business that they get from us by staying open for perhaps another hour for roughly another hrs worth of business.
and pz
-i agree wit alex whole heartedly on this aspect. i aint no whiner but i kno when shits fucked up its fucked up. i mean thats all of us that play. i agree that we all whine to a degree when we miss a combo, HOWEVER when this shit is gettin constant repition of the same complaint theres OBVIOUSLY a problem. i cant lie and say that pz john aint helped me out when i’ve said sumfin doesnt work and wutnot. but i mean again its a constant complaint and sumfin should be done about it. i’m pretty sure pz makes enuff income to get buttons and sticks all day long. i feel that they should have buttons and sticks on back order all day as well. replacing old parts wit old parts? if that is so, then thats jacked. i do understand that perhaps we may NOT be the target market but if we’re to have majors at this place shit needs to be in top shape period.
i think that all ranbats should be held on fridays to be quite frank. its a day every1 can roughly show up, plus it could bring in other players as well. when i’m on the marvel cab and random ppl ask me about the ranbats and i tell’em they do them on thursdays, they ask me why on thurs and not fri? i tell them iunno wut to tell u homie, they jus switched them dude. i mean that sucks tho when u think about it, that shows that ppl have sum intrest and wit the day change wit no notice we have a shortage of new blood becuz of it. when we had tournies on fridays ppl did show up, now iunno…
