Eccx Update
marvin placed 5th in 3rd strike.
lost to justin wong.
Wow that’s awesome. Props to Marvin. Just before he left he said if he lost in this tourney it’d be to JWong. :tup:
I managed to play 5 minutes at it at my friends house and found out one stupid combo with seth.
Oh what a weekend.
Pay 30$ for sat entry. End up almost half hr late for 3s, somebody luckily gave out a spot. Yun my way to victory. Prize: Chun figurine.
Kof:mi beside it. Decide to test out my shitty seth. End up playing a cosplay seth. gg win, quarter finals with “secret game” tomorrow.
T5- Won first match, cancelled due to convention have to being closed early. (Miscommunication).
This con has 2 “King-of-the-overall-game” ongoing tournaments. You get points for whatever place you come in. Somehow I am 2nd overall in kotog#1 and 1st in kotog#2.
At this point I am thinking oh shit I need to find a way into the con tomorrow, turns out I could volunteer to get my fee reimbursed, so my friend and I couldn’t find any place that needed help, until we volunteered to pull an all nighter for security. GG we now have complete access to everywhere in the con and don’t have to wait in lines and shit.
Turns out theres a jpop dance happening and omg jpop is cool but 4 fucking hours of it isn’t. Neither are the people at the dance. It was like some twisted dream. We end up being bouncers at the doors. They call security “Special Operations” at the con. Pretty tight. After the dance, patrolled the halls for a bit and went back to my place to freshen up.
Sunday : Volunteer a bit more and enter the finals. While I was at my house I tried learning v-rolento combos. Worked…kind of, but couldn’t pull off anything on the psx a3. x-rolento took me all the way to finals to be surprised fighting an actual good vega. That matchup sucks and it came down to the last round blah. I end up tying for 2nd overall “kotog” tourny and agree to split the prize. Another mai figurine and a tenjou tenge wallscroll, while he got the ps2 akuma controller and a t-shirt.
Now the other “kotog#2” tourny, the secret game turned out to be… naruto 2. So i’m like wtf and start calling ppl to see if they know anything about this game. Doug told me to “mash buttons”. In my match, turns out I get rock lee connect super and he becomes this super fast shit. So idiot cosplay seth can’t block down and gets knocked 90% life and he’s like “thats cheap.” Amazingly, judges kick me out because there apprently a rule on “not being cheap”. I flipout saying I’m new and don’t know shit and this guy is just feeding me bullshit. whateverss.
Friend and I decide to finally cash in our hours, and they end up refunding us 45$, which happenes to be a weekend pass. Making a profit and owning cosplay players? too good. Got a t-shirt, and other stuff for volunteering. End up buying lots of champloo and bebop shit, not spending much and the rest is history.
God damn 29hrs in my first con.
Wing get a new avatar
i hate anicons because they take away my business -_-
i have a t5 avatar from stephen…
but its not nak.
why did u lose to tony…
geez
haha nice story… you cheapass =p haha
yeah my friends that went said there was like a gay couple making out while dancing and shit… thats pretty fukken nasty.
Sweet. Letting them know.
congrats to Marvin and Roger for their good finishes at ECC :smokin:
ahh ECCX, fun as hell. i guess i’ll post what i remember:
ECC Episode X: Attack of the Clones
The break had the craziest ammount of dupes i have ever seen. First, marvin wanders off to play 3s when out of nowhere, this brown guy comes up and plays him. Why is this odd? cuz the guy looks like fucking adam and his name is ken!. From then on we kept on calling him adam and i think marvin even has a pick of him. Next up, Blazilining flo or wtvr the name is. This guy is pretty huge but whats more surprising is that he looks like fucking PK. Marvin and I promtly called him “big PK” from then on. Honorable mentions: 3 chappelle lookalikes (1 rick james version), 1 burton, 1 drunkin b, and 1 mos def.
3rd Strike: Miscommunication leads to Complications
Now I’m watching the mvc2 invitationals for a good few hours when i decide to go check out 3s. I go to flashG and see where Im at in the brackets.
Me "Hi I’m Stephen Munro, I was just wondering when…"
Flash "SO YOU’RE STEPHEN!! Ive been calling you for ever and I was just about disqualify you."
me "…uhh I never heard you"
Flash “you’re playing now GO”
So I go play my 1st match on these really tight ass yankee sticks (all of them were like that actually) and I lose cuz i can’t fucking do anything on the cab. So now I’m really pissed, I almost miss my pool and now i lost when i know i shouldn’t have. I play my 2nd match on another cab and waste the poor bastard. Same with my 3rd. My next match I played someone who said I was supposed to play him so I beat him and flash was like “ya ur not supposed to play him”. WTH I play another guy and beat him. Now heres the BAD part. I’m told i have to play the guy that beat me in the winners (he lost to combofiend). Now that I’m on a different cab, my moves actually come out and I win 2-0. As soon as I’m done shaking his hand, flash comes up to us and was like “what the fuck are you 2 doing? Stephen isn’t supposed to play him yet” WTH!!! Now I gotta face some crazy ass makoto guy AKA Mos def and I managed to beat him cuz I put on my asshole gloves and played like a bastard turutle. NOW I GOTTA PLAY THE GUY THAT I JUST BEAT BEFORE MOS DEF AGAIN??? WTH I take the matches 2-0 then flash/marvin gives me props and I make it to the qualifier…WHERE I GET TO FACE JUSTIN WONG 1ST ROUND. Nice. the guy just walks forward and crushes me. No jumps, just mk, sweep, throw and super. I did get my fun dash in, low jump, low parry xx mk xx super on him for a win tho. I don’t want to discuss the rest cuz I got a win off justin and top 16 was good enough for a major. post 2 comming up
hey Dark dragon, i wanna learn GGXX #reload but i dont’ have the first idea of how to play this game or how the system works. if you can add me to your msn i’d like to talk to you and ask you questions i have abuot the game… my email is rx_s1@hotmail.com
RXS
Guilty Gear episode 1: GWRAG
So its finally sunday and I’m in the ggxx room watching some matches when i meet Sunny form penn state (he comes to orbit every so often with these 2 girls) and we decide to team up for the #r team. We go to register and its $15 uhh ok, so we both give the guy a $10 and get a 5 back. So we go to another guy to get our 5 changes to 1s and the retarded american gene kicks in.
me "can i get 5 1s please"
GWRAG (guy with the retarded american gene) “sure”
*takes the money, fiddles arounf the register and comes back
GWRAG “here you are”
- me looks at the 5 FIVE DOLLAR BILLS he gave me.
I look at Sunny
Sunny looks back at me confused.
I look at the GWRAG
he looks at me and said "is that alright?"
me "…uh yeah its ok thanks"
we run out of there and we split that shit and get free entry to the team entry. Gotta love the same colour currency. Fools.
Guilty Gear Episode II: Knights of the oldschool Shittalk.
So now the tourny begins and us (team toronto) has to go up agains who now? Oh yes, team florida? isn’t that flash metroid’s…OH WHAT THE FUCK…(for those of u who don’t know, flash metroid is one of the best #r players in america and the day before he made $200 off money matches vs cali #r players…)
So he picks may and steamrolls us. GG. I felt like a fucking n00b.
Next up, team dipset (mr. quotes i believe and deuce aka 2nd best faust in america). Sunny takes out mr. quotes and deuce sneaks a win past him. Now im up. lets forget the part where i play like an idiot and forget to use even half of jams cheapness tricks. While im playing duece, mr. quotes is basically verbally attacking me background like “Oh who the fuck do you think ur playing? this is mothafucking deuce mothafucka” and “oh shit those fucking meteors are fucking yo shit up oh fuck”…and…“what the fuck you think you tryin to pull this is fucking deuce motha fucka he aint falling for that shit”. I lose the VERy close match but was funny and free so it didn’t bother me much.
Guilty Gear Episode III: Venom Strikes back
So now its singles and I’m in the same pool as deuce. Time for revenge eh? huh? NO. I lose 1st round to slayer. now im in the loosers. Now I came here only forr #r and i’d be dammed if i went 2 and out. I battle my way to losers semi and I come across one of the craziest venoms i have ever seen. He beats my jam in a really close match and i was left with a very hard choice. Who to use? Then i remember sunny teling me not alot of ppl use baiken in the states and most ppl don’t know how to fight her. So i put my trust in the one-armed bicth and wow, he really didn’t know how to fight her. so while we’re playing he does auto attack where he dives down and does a backflip and by accident, my hand slipped and hit the start button. He shakes his head and I oppologive but WE CONTINUE THE MATCH. I win and he shakes my hand. Wow, what a nice guy. So i go on to the losers final and meet up with that sol/slayer guy again. We joke around a bit and i counter his ass with slayer. Now its 1-1 and um up by a good ammount run the tourny director runs in and yells out “STOP THAT MATCH” why you say? cuz the venom guy I beat ran to the director after we finnished the match, AFTER HE SHOOK MY HAND and told him I pressed the start button. I guess he forgot to tell the guy that i pressed it at a time where he couldn’t do anything and i could have comboed him from his mistake. Sigh. now I gotta play him again. Baiken doesn’t like it either and she goes nuts and takes him out. Now i go back and fight the slayer guy. I choose faust and he chooses slay…no sol. eh?
me "oh you cheap fuck wheres slayer"
guy " haha yo hes hiding yo"
the guy’s sol wins and now im in the bad position. I can’t use faust now cuz i might lose again but if i use baiken/jam, its a battle if he chooses slayer. I decided to go with jam. I went buck wild and destroyed his sol and just as i thought, he went to slayer. OY. I take the 1st round he takes the 2nd and the final. Sigh. The game I came to play i didn’t do good but I placed well in the game i really had no buisness playing. SERENITY NOW.
there was alot of funny shit after the tourny but i bet the others want in on it so i’ll mention only a few
Hotel Horrors: Don’t take a shit in our room fuckers
K we have 2 rooms, 1 had roger, alpha, cate, bry, danny, matt, gerjay, darko and random squatters, the other room had marvin and I…go figure. Anyways everyday, bry would come to our room and would want to take a shit.
marv "what the fuck are you doing"
bry "i’m going to take a shit"
marv "no you aren’t, your shits fucking stink"
bry “yo but the other room is packed"
marv “fuck no, your shits fucking stink and I don’t want to take a shower in that shit.
bry” fuck man then take a shower” *leaves the room…

Darko "…fucking paperthin walls"

everyone: ahahahhahahaha.
BAMBI II: THE FALL OF BAMBI
15! That was the number of dead deer that was found slaughtered on the trip back to toronto. It literally became a game of who could spot the biggest deer corpse. that went on for a good 45 minutes then we ended up talking about eating animals
me "ya i’d like to eat a polar bear"
silence
marvin "did you say polar bear"
me "ya i heard they taste good, but u can eat their liver or something"
everyone hahahahha youre fucked ahhaha

RSX: sure i’ll add you later on today
Shiet Fuk Yeah!
Yea Eh?
cough j.HS spam cough
good shit stephen, you shoulda qualified though.
-I get to Stephens house cuz hes not done packing yet. The minute I get out of his car, I notice theres no lights on. NO LIGHTS. I step into his house and theres still no lights on, but everyones home. He turns them on, I take off my shoes, and then he fucking turns them all right off. Good thing I can see in the fucken dark!
-Anyway, we leave to pick up Ex Matt and Gerjay from Matts house and head to Darkos house in Hamilton. We get into Darkos rental car and off we go. Its expected that the drive takes anywhere from 8-10 hours to get there. We got there in like7 hours. However, 2 hours into the trip, we pass the Canadian/American border and start talking about CVS2. I talk about how I dont have a partner and I plan on using a Ratio 4 to see how far I get. Someone mentions that Arcadekid is going to ECC so I get all excited and am like REALLY!? I can team up with him!! (this next part is really good). Arcadekid gave me his number at T5 so I have it saved on my phone. I give him a call and this is the conversation we had almost word for word:
“Allo?”
“Alex”
“Ce Qui?”
“Marvin”
“Marvin?”
“Yeah man”
"…whats up??"
“are you going to ecc?”
“ECC?”
“yeah”
“I dunno. Maybe”
“you dont know?”
“i’m not sure yet”
“uhh…ok”
“Why? Where are you?”
“i’m at the border man. We just crossed it
"the montreal/ontario border?’
”…uhh no…we’re in the states"
“when’s ECC?”
"…uhh…today?“
alex talking to the background “ECC est ce aujordhui? Vendredi?”
“so i guess you’re not going”
“uhh i might still go””
"…it’s like a 8 hour drive, man"
“maybe i’ll take the plane”
“to ECC?”
“yeah who cares”
“ok but you’d be leaving soon cuz you still have to book the flight and stuff”
“yeah i probably wont go”
"…okay i guess i’ll see you at Midwest if i go"
“yeah but i’ll be at T”
"…Midwest is before T"
"…oh okay bye"
-We arrive at the Motel 6 at around noon-1pm and I rent two rooms for the 5 of us (I want to sleep on a fucking bed so Stephen and I got our own room). The girl that worked at the desk was pretty cute. Anyway, we unpack and I give KO Fiend (NJ) a call to let him know that were there. They head over to the Motel 6 and the first thing I hear when they walk into my room is I want to play you for money from Josh (srk name is Quotes or Mr Quotes, I believe).
Josh: I want to play you for money
C-Royd: what?
Josh: lets play for ten bucks
C-Royd: Dude, you just got here and youre challenging me for money?
Josh: Yeah
C-Royd: You didnt even say hi to me yet and you want to money match me
Josh: Hi
C-Royd: okay lets play. First to 3.
note: I beat Josh at Evo last year
I owned him up the first 2 games, and then I offered him to just give me five dollars or try to win it for 10. He wanted to keep going. I owned him the 3rd game. Wasnt even close
-We play for a bit more and then head off to The Break. Upon turning into the street where The Break is located at, we see a green Neon.
<misc person>: is that Rogers car?
Stephen: Looks like it
Matt: He cant be here this early but that looks just like his car
Marvin: Why dont we just look at the license plate when we drive by it?
Matt: I dont fucking know Rogers license plate number
everyone looks at Matt
<everyone>: Uhhwe can just see if its an Ontario license plate or a NJ license plate
Matt: Holy fuck I didnt even think about that
(Matt is a moron. But he proves to be a bigger one later)
-So we get to the break and Jam a bunch of random coins into the parking meter. Upon entering the arcade, I see Adam B!!! (picture coming soon)
note: I didnt team up with DarkDragon for 3s because I promised KO Fiend a while ago that Id team up with him if I ever went to NJ
*note: I didnt have a CvS2 partner. I was planning on Ratio4ing it.
-Its at ECC registration that I met Van, who is the person I talked to the most during ECC. Hes a totally cool guy from Florida who helps run tournaments who I went for smokebreaks with every 20 minutes. This dude is cool. Thats all I gotta say.
- I walk over to the CVS2 machine and I see this short little brown dude who always looks like he wants to start a fight. I find out that hes Evil Elvis. How he got the Elvis part, I got no fucking clue. Makes no sense. I swear hes tamil or something. But anyway, hes FUCKING GOOD at cvs2. Massive winstreaks and I figured hed make top 5 for sure.
-Break Steak time! I had about 10 of these my whole ECC trip. For bucks gets you a break steak, fries, and a drink. Cant go wrong. MmmMmMmmm.
-Okay its 5pm now and Rogers car still hasnt arrived. Everyones wondering where the hell he is. Its 6pm now. Where the hell is Roger. Its 7pm now. 3s Team Tourney is about to start. And KO Fiend is going crazy. I swear he smokes so much weed that he cant stay still. Hyper motherfucker. Where the hell is roger? Okay KO Fiend got owned up by Arturos SA2 Alex. So its on me now. Single match. So my Denjin Ryu owns up Arturos Alex ala stun and Arturo lets out a da-da-da-damn that was crazy yo and now its time to fight Eddie. I own up Eddies Chun Li the first round easily. Not even close. 2nd round, my ryu is down to under and his Chun Li is knocked down with 0 hit points left. I know Eddie doesnt multi-parry so I do low short -> ex SRK. Eddie ends up parrying my low short, and lands low MK xx super. I just lost 2nd round. WHERE IS THE SRK!?!?!?!?!? It didnt come out cuz the joysticks are too tight! I hate Eddie Lee! We later talked.
So what happened at the end of that match?
It was supposed to be low short into ex shoryuken
fuck, that makes more sense
-I hate Eddie Lee.
-Its time to fight Justin and Flash G now. Justin OCVs us with YUN; yes. Yun. His Yun with very bad Genei Cheap combos. How? Because he always finds a way for you to whiff a throw when hes in GeneiCheap and then hell launch your ass into oblivion. Gimmie his Yun again and Ill beat him. But its single match. So now were out. Boohoo.
-Okay time to smoke another 5 cigarettes with Van. I finish my last one and I see this cute little filipino girl walking around. I looked closer and I was thinking hey, thats Alpha! Rogers here! So I go say hi to them and for some reason, I see Danny also. Thats not weird. I knew he was going to be there. But hes wearing a fucking leather jacket. Its T-Shirt weather and hes wearing a leather jacket. WTF?
-Its night time of Day1 now. The NJ 3s crew is in my hotel room playing 3s. Theres a lot of noise coming from all the ECC-related rooms, mainly the one down the hall. The Hotel Manager threatens to have me arrested because people are complaining about the noise and because I ordered two rooms with two people in each and theres like fucking 8 people in the other room. So I have to go pay for extra people and have 3 people move into my room. Sucks. I hate po po.
To be Continued
lol i only smoke cause they always start late, i have no excuse for the inbetweens:clap:
t6 will be sweet, SWEET DRO!1
