Diversity doesn’t exist to the degree that it does in the United States anywhere else in the world, does it?
This. He’s my inner nerd’s wet dream.
And that’s super lame man. People act like Americans are all full of themselves and mightier than thou and shit, when that shit exists EVERYWHERE.
MWC SHOUTOUTS!
Jason and co. - Already told you a page or two back. In short, good shit.
Luis - Why didn’t we get any matches in? Anyway, it was fun watching you rape people with a non-anchor Tron. They didn’t know what to do, so they rolled their face on the stick and hoped for the best. And before you leave the state, let everyone know.
Pat - Crappy luck with brackets in Marvel, but it’s all good. We got some casuals iirc.
Phil - Marvel makes you salty, which makes me laugh. Just pick the game back up like you originally planned and tier whore it out. Like I was telling you though, if you learn to block, you could play any team (minus Hsien Ko, Morrigan, and other crappy characters).
Monkeychild (Matt or Mike? lol) - Thanks for coming up and supporting MWC. Hopefully we can get more matches in for practice soon.
Woot - I wanted at least one match in Marvel, but I had to leave as soon as I was knocked out of the tournament. Sorry about that.
SRKFADC - LMAO at that trollface plate. 'Nuff said.
Jas - I actually never really had the chance to introduce myself or talk to you. Either one of us was playing a tournament match, holding a conversation with others, or you looked pissed from the match you had just played. lol. Thanks again for the hype commentary. It made winning those matches so much better.
Bishop - We didn’t talk much. I know that Iron Man lv3 on Phoenix (which still doesn’t make sense) made you forever pissed, so I didn’t even try.
Billy - You and your girlfriend really helped Milln out yesterday. Well, until you pressed the siren button on the megaphone… TWICE!
My goal to show everyone that Hulk is underrated and that he can in fact play with the top tiers was accomplished. Super armor punishes into instant death all day.
The goal to troll with MODOK loops failed, due to everyone and their mother trying to whore top tiers (Wolverine, Mag, and Wesker). I used him in casuals, but tournament time was too serious for analyze cubes.
@Astaroth - Hell yeah I was extra sea salt salty. Id dunno how the hell that shit happened. Good shit with Hulk though. I definitely feel you on MODOK. I had planned to use him too but too many Wolverines, Mags, and Weskers to even attempt.
Full MWC Shoutouts:
- Special shout to J Willy for letting me help run the tournament and covering my meal expenses. Also to Ricky Ricardo for covering with getting matches on stations and calling matches while I was in a match/eating/etc. ALSO thanks for being patient with me when I got distracted and covering when I was watching a hype match. I was still keeping an eye out for open stations, but I did get caught up in a few of them.
-Extend that shoutout to Duckie as well. He was helping us find stations and doing all kinds of stick/arcade cab work. Oh and good shit for the Samurai Kirby run with backturn blindfold. Epic.
Memphis crew - always good to see you guys and good shit using Josh’s GPS to get lost on your way here.
Arkansas - thanks for coming out guys! I’ll try and get a TN crew together for ARK IV. Should be a lot of fun.
To the other states regions that made it - KY, ATL, Ohio, Bama, anyone I missed - thank you guys so much for coming out. Turnout was actually much better than we anticipated and we did it without and Evo Sponsor or Stream. Next year we’ll be able to make it bigger and more hype. Thanks again!
To mah boys:
-
J. Ford - Thanks for the warmup vs. Yun before tournament. I did get a little tense but it helped me get my head in the right place. Went to losers early but was able to battle back through to 9th place. Always appreciate the games sir.
-
Pat “You better not fuckin’ lose this” Farr - thank for coaching me vs. the Mak/Rufus player (seriously what are the odds) and kickin it all weekend. Regarding the side bet - seriously man, don’t sweat it. If I cared about the money I wouldn’t have put it down on you. Just tryin to rep for mah dood. Next time I just won’t tell you, lol.
-
Phil - thanks for the advice and camaraderie all weekend. You have a good eye for player tendencies and are a good coach. I implemented some of what you told me and was benefiting right away.
-
Woot - thanks for making the long haul after your ass crack of dawn work meeting and bringing the Memph crew. As always thanks for the matchup tips.
-
Jacob Sparks/Zeth - Thanks for coming man. Always good to see you guys. Zeth thanks again for letting me crash. I was in no condition to drive Saturday night, lol.
-
Lord “Too Many Negroes” JAS - Thanks for coming and helping hype matches. I swear a couple of those I didn’t even know where the other guy was from. I was just hyping the match because you were there, lol.
-
Ray (kajoc) - Thanks for coming and bringing more KY cats man. One or two of your boys I didn’t get to formally introduce myself to (Kyle?) but y’all are mad chill. Always fun talking games and fashion (no homo).
-
Shouts to Derrick Legend for putting me out of the tournament and being good as hell at fighting games but also being humble as shit and giving me a ton of casuals. We have no Juri here so the casuals and the tips were invaluable. See you soon homey!
I think that’s everyone. All in all this weekend was sick. Tournies always motivate me to play more regardless of how I did. I just want to keep improving. See all you cats soon!
NegroEdit: Shouts to Samurai Kirby…DoDoDoooooo…LMAO
I do believe either the last MK patch or the one before it fixed the problem on 360. It was a glitch that I think they worked out, so the patches should now work offline too. That particular patch wasn’t out before the PDP tourney though, which is why we had to make special rules on infinites and stuff.
Oops, forgot Duckie and Chris B.
Duckie - Thanks for coming up. We talked quite a few times, then we realized at the end of the day that we hadn’t played any matches together. Your blind Samurai Kirby match against Luis was too great.
Chris - Always good seeing you. I really did want to go eat with you guys yesterday, but this weekend was a little crazy, which resulted in a Sunday afternoon migraine. Long story short, after I was knocked out of Marvel, I found out my sister was in a car accident and broke her shoulder.
GGs to everyone I played at MWC
Special shoutouts to Ark for being mad chill and Smokemaxx for beating me bad in tournament and whipping my Sagat and helping me out with both.
Also Richard unless my Sagat gets amazing by the next tournament we’ll do that Gief mirror whenever we play next and get mad hugs/dick rubbing going on.
Also I am now apparently the greatest troll and shit talker on the planet, even when I’m not shit talking I am.
OH MAN… OH MAN…
OHMANOHMANOHMAN + gief mirror = yesssssss
We are in Nashville for at least the week but probably longer. Jason said he is working tomorrow at Hickory Hollow so I wanted to see if anyone else is going to be there? My sister in law and I will bring Josh to the arcade if you all want to come and play. Just let me know what time everyone will be there.
Jason we will probably still be here on Friday so if I have a way to get him to Rivergate or if someone will come and get him he can come. I don’t know if I am going to rent a car while we are here or not. As of now I don’t NEED one but I may have to go back to Knoxville soon to oversee the tree removal, the insurance comapny getting my damn truck out from under the tree, damage to my house, etc but Josh will be here until my house is habitable again, which will be awhile.
Let me know if anyone wants to volunteer to get Josh Friday. We are right off of Lebanon Rd in Donelson near Briley Parkway.
I could have told you that. There are more fights at my college started by the Foreign students saying racist things to the African American students. The people i stayed with in England were worse. If you do not have a white skin tone you are a huge target. Most of the time it is not just words but some form of physical violence. Things here are a little more toned down unless you get back into the banjo woods.
On a side note. Last week Wizards banned two cards in the standard format. This is the first time in 6 years that they have done this. The main reason for this was a stagnant metagame. After hearing this i was like no shit, why do you think most of the original players abandoned the format and went to playing legacy. Just some news for anyone who is interested in the MTG community or just plays for fun. That is all.
wasn’t it Skullclamp 6 years back?
Sensei’s Divining Top was the card that was banned last. This time it was Jace the mind sculptor and Stoneforge Mystic.
Skull Clamp and Mirrodin block had alot banned but that was around 9 years ago.
Was top banned in unlimited? I remember it being played type two and though people complained about how OP it was it was still legal.
It was banned in both Type 2 and in Extended.
Lol how could you think that when people were fighting over converters anytime some unfortunate soul brought a 360 setup? Plus the tourneys are PS3. To my knowledge only place that exclusively has 360 tourneys for it is Nashville. I don’t know what PDP tourney console was, but everyone had to use fightstick.
Nah you just gotta stay solid. I was talking about if you were thinking you were gonna just do random stuff with him all day, because we know what’s punishable, how to punish it, what’s safe, strings, mixups, grabs, setups, shenanigans. etc. Dudes will just auto be on their p’s and q’s if King is on the screen is all. But if you stay solid and get your guaranteed shit, there’s nothing fools can do but respect and die. You could still prob get by with a few command grabs though lol.
Fly Mike since you are the tekken person, I have a question. Are there any major differences in Tekken 6 for the Xbox 360 verses the PS3?
Besides xbox pad being unplayable, nope.
I am using a Fanta stick. I was just wondering if gameplay had any frame loss or anything of the such.
