LOL, all I did was gimmicks into throw. Oh, and in like… the second round I burnt 3 bars of meter trying to land chip, lol.
There’s no way I should have won that match. That dude was PISSED.
I’ve run up against this same problem organizing a Smash Bros Brawl tourney (lol) at MSU, trying to book the Dawg House for its first tourney. I emailed Nintendo requesting permission to use their game in a tournament, they replied back like three weeks later with what basically said “lol why do you need our permission.” Printed the email out, gave it to the venue, they looked at it kind of funny and eventually accepted it as proof of permission.
So yes you are right in that “it doesn’t matter” is the right answer, but if you want to do it legit and play nice with the venue, email the company asking permission. After that you could make an argument with the venue that if the publisher doesn’t reply or they send you a response saying it doesn’t matter, they implicitly grant the necessary permissions to use the game. If they didn’t want you using the game, they would have given you enough attention to tell you not to. So you should be safe in assuming that if they didn’t say no, that obviously means yes.
Sort of a shitty way to weasel around these kinds of things but it’s good enough for government work.
I bet…waahahaha fuck blanka…
HEhheeeeeeeeeeeee… it was worth it to have Jas come in and clean house to hear your comments, SRK. LOL!!! 8)
Anyone at Hastings gonna play SSF4 tonight? Anyone?
cricket chirps…
Which reminds me, Cylus isn’t coming tonight (he’s in Florida), so we’re going to be short one MvC3 setup. Can someone PLEASE bring one? Please? Pretty please? We’ve had too many people show up lately, and I actually got a little pissed that I couldn’t get some practice in before Final Round, which is why I was there.
In fact, I think people going to tournaments need to get priority seating on systems the Weds before a major, but that’s just me.
there will be at least one ssf4 setup tonight GUARANTEED.
lol! Just wait until AE comes to console. Street Fighter will probably take priority again.
Cale, I Had this big reply set but of course SRK wouldn’t post it. Long and short of it, no permission needed but legally I don’t think we are allowed to have cash tournaments in stuff like this for TN
RE: Fight Night.
If there is a major coming up, then that’s somewhat agreeable, but in general let the new people get priority. I’m not going to name names here, but we have had some issues before with some peeps just not getting up and letting new folks get some games in.
The whole point of Fight Night is to attract new players and grow the scene. I know I haven’t been able to attend recently, but I’d hate to hear about someone new showing up and not getting to play because regulars are hogging the setups. When I bring my setup, I actually play the least. In general, I don’t actually play much at fight nights, even when I was attending regularly.
Of course if you bring a setup, that’s awesome, and appreciated.
Let’s just all not lose sight of what fight night is supposed to achieve. Yes it’s good for tourney practice, but it’s primary function is to attract new players and help grow the scene. We can’t expect newcomers to come back if regulars aren’t considerate enough to actually let them play.
The Heuristic Squelch: Warren G, You Useless, Useless Bastard: A Critical Study
*Hip-hop music, specifically that of the gangsta rap variety, has been woefully under-represented in academic circles. With this study, I would like to begin a new epoch of scholar-ship, a G-Funk Era, if you will, to give the proper critical attention to the artists and philosophers of the LBC. Before you question my street cred-ibility, let me assure “y’all” that I regularly wore my San Francisco Giants cap backwards from early 1994 until the summer of 2002.
The song “Regulate,” by Warren G and Nate Dogg, tells the story of a dramatic night in the LBC. There is sex, there is violence, there is bass, there is treble. Nate Dogg cruises for skirts, guns down rival homies, and beds down trium-phantly at the East Side Motel. Nate emerges the ideal G-Funk man. By contrast, Warren G tries to join a craps game, gets mugged, and is nearly killed. He comes off as completely ineffectual, dependent on Nate for protection, and trick acquisition.
In the first verse, Warren G rides in a car alone, scanning for women. When he attempts to shoot dice with some homies, he is instantly robbed of his rings, watch, and presumably, his dignity. Warren G is jacked impossibly fast, and does absolutely nothing to help himself. His most notable action is rhyming “contemplate” with “homie Nate.”
In the third line, Nate Dogg locates a car entirely full of skirts. By the end of the next verse, Nate Dogg will have so charmed these horny tricks that their vehicle crashes. Nate has laid the founda-tion for an evening of pleasure at the East Side Motel by the time he arrives on the scene and shoots many attempted takers of Warren’s wealth.
Warren G does not do much to facilitate the East Side Motel car-full-of-girls/Dogg and G hookup. Nate Dogg smoothly informs one of the dames of how much he likes her size, and the rest is history. It is notable perhaps that Nate Dogg only acknowledges one particular dame as being “sexy as hell,” so we have no idea the quality of Warren G’s romantic lot. Once again, Nate Dogg commands the action, while the useless Warren G rides along. One almost expects an additional verse where Warren G needs Nate Dogg to tie his shoes and wipe his ass for him as well.
One can only infer that when Nate Dogg has to “regulate,” that means he’s shooting thugs, having various kinds of intercourse with horny sluts, and generally kicking ass. When Warren G has to “regulate,” that means he’s receiving a severe pistol-whipping and getting sloppy seconds from Nate Dogg’s hos. One shudders to think what life is like for Warren when he isn’t regulating.
The toughness and unstoppability of 213 also appears to be purely a function of Nate Dogg’s badness and/or motherfuckerness. Saying that 213 is difficult to step to is sort of like saying that Barry Bonds and Benito Santiago combined to hit 62 home runs last year: it’s true, but somewhat deceptive. Both Dogg and Bonds would be intimidating regardless of their partners. Dogg may as well say “Nate Dogg and Sean Keane have to regulate;” at least I’ve still got my watch. Warren G contributes little to the duo, aside from the questionable interior rhyme of his “Chords/ Strings/ We brings/ Melody” freestyle rap.
The only possible reason I can think of for Warren G to include this tale on his album is to distract rap fans from the song “This DJ,” which contains the immortal lyric, “I hit the gate and I hops on my Schwinn/ And I tell the homie ‘Aight then’” Regardless, Warren G comes off poorly, and in my opinion, does not fully recover until his pro-nut-juggling entreaty at the end of Snoop Dogg’s “Ain’t No Fun.”*
I hope you’re right!
I’ve been appraised of some additional info RE: fight night.
If attendance stays as high as it’s been recently, with no improvement in number of people bringing setups, we may implement some new rules to help alleviate the disparity of players/setups.
ill be attending Fight Night tonight since it’s spring break.
I hear Huey’s lets you in after 10:00PM as long as you are over 18.
Me too, but I can’t play Marvel for shit.
Anyone wanna play Guilty Gear? I don’t have a ps2 but I can bring a copy of AC
Ok,i’m bringing a full set uo tonight as usual. I plan on playing everyone that attends at least a couple games just so they can see the improvement i made and they get a chance to play tournament level comp but other than that i wont be playing much since i usually let other folks play on my set up a lot which is why my set up is usually the scrub friendly set up were all the new ppl play in.
I can’t play too many games tho cause i dont want to make anyone salty lol
those are some big words you’re talkin
And he can back them up, trust me. – Duckie
