ps: when is the tk5 team tournament again
marvin im going for sure! i got a job so i can get the money now
and who’s ack? is that quy? do i still pronounce ack “why”
ack is jeff you motherfucker
For those of you who are going to evo, I need to know when you guys want to leave AND when you guys want to come back. And i need to know right away because Wing can only go if he finds out REALLY soon
I saw Stephen on the bus today going to work.
Happy Birthday, Stephen!
Yeah, gotta book the days off, so we really gotta start planning this. fly out on wed and come back on mon?
Yo, Put me down as a go for Evo
OK I’m a definite for this. I’m in the same boat as Ryan in that I need to send in my vacation request pretty soon to ensure I get the days off though. Ryan’s suggestion of Wednesday to Monday is ideal for me as well.
Hey how much do you think it would cost this year since it’s in vegas now? Including travel, hotel, food, lots of money matches, but no gambling. I am thinking of going but I’m not at all sure yet.
edit: why did i include money matches? that won’t cost me money, scratch that off.

York Touuny Log
This is by far one of the best tournys I’ve been to in awhile, so I decided to log it.
Team Tourny
Noodleman and I decide to team up with A-groove. Since it’s only the two of us, we each have to pay $7.50. I give him a $10, and this is how the team name “you owe me $2.50 is born”. Then Jiggabry wants to join us as well. So he owes both of us $2.50
On to the tourny.
vs. Team Hammer (Veggiebob2002/Fobhunter/WB!)
Bryan basically waits for Fierce punch with sagat and kills the first guy. Then I come in with Todo and grab cc everyone to death until I get to Jaime, who plays Chun-Li2 as the anchor. I lose, then Jason comes in and…gets combo videoed. Wow. That should go in the trailer. Wait, it wasn’t taped. So I just switch to Mai, who counters chun-li, and Jason doesn’t get to play Jaime. EVER AGAIN.
vs. Team Cocky (Flightwing/JS Master/Ratio1beatdown)
Roger is playing MvC2, and Wing and Eric, being team cocky, decide to play us anyways, with Eric saying we won’t make it to Roger anyway. So Bryan comes in and punches the shit out of nak, leaving her with little life. Then I beat wing with a jump-back fierce, and then Eric comes in with Cammy. And gets cc’d and command grabbed to death. All I hear is Wing and Eric shouting, in the fobbiest and most annoying voices ever, “WOGER!!! WOGER!!! YOU NOW COME!!! YOU ARE PLAY NOW!!!” They hold back on the stick until Roger is able to scramble to the machine. He kills us, but I still thought it was funny.
vs. Team Unleashed Fury (Nagata Lock II/Ack/Gerjay)
Best 3 out of 5.
1st round. Bryan plays Ack first and manages to kill him everytime with Sagat punches. Then Nagata comes in with Kim. And I rush the fuck away with Mai. He doesn’t touch me once during the first round, and all I hear is “FUCK!!! ARRRRGGGHHHH!” Then I take out half of Gerjay’s A-Blanka. And then we lose.
2nd round. Same thing. Bryan Punches, Ack Dies, Bryan get thrown, I run away, Justin snaps, I take out half of blanka and we lose.
3rd round. We were actually able to win this match because I was able to put Gerjay down to 25% health.
4th round. And then…Justin switches to Vega. I hate vega. Vega claws me for free. And we lose.
Fun tourny though, we got 3rd.
Tekken 5
I’m so go at this game that I…
Get peaced out in 2.
R4 Challenge!
This was the absolute highlight of the tourny. Everyone joined. Ack, Stephen…even Antoine.
Justin tells me to pick a character right away, so I’m like “Umm…C-Yun”
Crap.
Now what happens next will forever be known as “the journey”. It’s the story of how a C-Yun climbed all the way to 5th place. That’s right, C-Yun. Taking out Blankas, Vegas, Cammys, in the most exciting matches possible. Shall I describe them? No. You will have to get the vid.
Marvel 2.
I only remember 2 matches:
vs. Noodleman.
I play Amingo/Storm/Tron Bonne. All I can say is Amingo/TB Satellite is broken, and noodleman didn’t have a real good AA assist. Does so much damage, and then I just DHC to storm and runaway.
vs. Nagata Lock.
He picks commando, and right away I know I’m gonna have problems getting in. Well guess what? The controller is kinda busted on my side, and I can’t really jump forward, so every time he calls out commando, I’m safe. Again, Amingo-Satellite does a lot of damage. It comes down to Storm/T.Bonne vs Storm/Command. I randomly hailstorm, the screen freezes, and I see Justin’s Storm doing Tri-Jump Fierce, and commando doing AA. So I mash the shit out of the machine and win. Giving me a 4th place finish.
Oh yeah, there was 3rd strike too. Umm…We lost. To get a sample of my 3rd strike skills, here’s a snippet of a conversation I had with Antoine.
Kin: "Hey Antoine, my Urien’s pretty good, huh?"
Antoine: (pauses)…“this conversation is over.”
So the tourny is over, and we all shake hands, and some of us go to kbbq. And pretty much just talk shit all night long.
However, RPGv2 gets his ass handed to him by Fobhunter, because Rey is sitting on one end of the table, Fobhunter and the other, and Rey just keeps talking for the longest time, and Fobhunter is just like “uh-huh, yup, yeah, got it” And then Rey ends off with a question. Complete Silence. A tumbleweed goes by. And then Fobhunter says “Dude, I didn’t hear a single word you just said”…AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!!!. Good lord, that was better than Justin engulfing Gordon at the last kbbq.
Anyway, to those who went, it went well, the rest of you can go to.
Kin “kymah” Mah
Hey Kin, you forgot to talk about the Alpha 2 incident on the 400in1 where I tried to pick old school Chun Li. :lol: Yes, I am an asshole.
I thought Justin was taping when I did that Chun Li stuff. I hope he was, I wanna see it again. :karate: I’m more proud of that match than scamming out the R4 thing. :tup:
Yeah, I challenge Jaime to alpha 2, and he’s like “I’m gonna pick original chun”, proceeds to hold start, and then resets the machine, and we both lose our quarters.
That’s even worse then when you told cachaman to move because you had to play 3s. Even though he was your opponent.
You’re a jerk. You need to play in traffic. :karate:
hey guys im from hamilton and i just recently started school in TO. I was just wondering if someone can tell me where the best arcades are in downtown TO. Hopefully near my school, i go to the academy of design on John and Wellington.
Downtown Funland: On Yonge, Across from Sam the Record Man.
3S:Bad sticks, decent amount of competition during the afternoon.
Tekken 5:Decent Sticks, good amount of players.
Marvel 2: Ok Sticks, Level 4 damage, no players.
No CvS2.
Video Pinball: 1 block south of Yonge and Bloor, next to Shopper’s Drug Mart.
3S:Good sticks, little to no competition; I’m usually there from 4:30-5:15pm.
No Marvel, CvS2 or T5.
You could also goto Chinatown Centre’s basement; there are some ppl who play tehre after school I think.
thanx for the info, i guess ill let you know when i plan to head down
Mario, apparently there’s people getting together at York University arcade on Thursday. Check out the York University thread for that and try to make it out cause there is usually a good amount of people playing there.
alright jaime if you can give me directions on how to get there from my school, cause im not too good with my way around toronto. My school is on the corner of john and wellington. I know im probably going to have to take the subway, i just need to know like what way im sopose to go on it and stuff, lmao!!!
Take the University Line subway to Downsview. Get on the 196 York Express bus which takes you right to a mini shopping mall on York campus. The Campus Cove is right in that shopping mall and you can’t miss it cause its big.
EDIT: Just make sure to pay attention to the York thread though cause since its exams/summer now, not many people might go. Hard to say right now. I don’t know for sure if I’ll be there.
good tourny just didn’t give a fuck after 3s and T5. went to the washroom then came to the conclusion that, mvc2 noodleman would of beat me, cvs2r4 anyone would of beat me, so i just left
You had an epiphany in the washroom?
