I don’t have a teammate for hdr. I’m in Renton if that matters.
S-Blade, Dugg, anyone else still looking for partners- I’ll be joining the fray as well. Time to dust off the stick and level up again before Super. I’m willing to drive as far as north seattle for practice, but no more than once/twice a week, so hopefully that isn’t an issue.
Updated the list based on some comments here and Frank’s updated list in the TW2 official thread. Tons of people still don’t have partners, so keep 'em coming.
yo man, i swear frank banned you from TW before it even started. and if not, i think paul lee needs a partner, but seeing how its 2v2 team tourney, itll end up being a one man(kid) team.
Paul isn’t playing in TW anymore. And whatever problems you may have had with me I humbly ask you set aside for now, I just want to have some fighting game competition every couple weeks to offset other things I have going on.
Actually, you were the one that said you didn’t want any part of TW’s…IIRC.
Before season 1 even started, I’m pretty sure I did. I’ll ask again, though. Please leave beef behind us for now. I’ll try to come to bloody knuckles on sunday, though I won’t be able to stay too late because of work. Hopefully you can review my standing there.
reallly??? holy shit. i didnt know.
yeah, and i think i can recall frank telling me you were the first person to be officially banned from TW.
so what? youre gonna buy me drinks and make nice with everyone? oh you cant. im kinda done with being nice to everyone. your never gonna win with me, and i think you should deal with that. and, considering TW is at my work place… yeah…
Pathetic.
Mother fucker wants to play the damn game, I’d say let him. You’re on some Mr. Wizard shit with the "talk smack on my event? you banned."
Actions speak far louder than words, and this is proof of the event speaking for itself; so much excitement has been generated through tournament wars to the point of players who weren’t, suddenly being interested.
The ‘scene’, as much as I’m hating that word mostly due to what it represents and either IS or has BECOME (considering I’m new), isn’t about popularity or status or any of the bullshit that Seattle is determined to be full of. It’s about the fucking game, and coming together because we all share a similar passion/interest. If you can’t see and understand this, then I’m not sure as to why you’re running a Street Fighter event in the first place.
I’m just done with all this bullshit; hell I can’t even believe I’m posting since it’ll be a waste of my time in the end I’m sure. Funny how some of the most active members of our community outside of those just playing the game are also the ones hurting it the most. A goddamn circus.
Dugg: you’re right. Your opinion I highly regard. PEople who are just playing this game, you’re receding to me. And its true, I’m not part of tournament wars. I’m barely even playing this game. Who am I to tell a nigga not to play? My opinion shouldn’t bison wether or not someone should be part of an event. I guess first impressions last forever and I can’t drop shit from the past. He still hasn’t proven anything to me, but ok. Let’s let him play.
Kuenai: this is your chance, fuck it up and ill be glad to show you where the door is. You’re lucky duggs post is 100% relevant and true.
Sorry dugg, ill keep my shit in pms next time. Just hella hard for me to not rip this guy.
On topic, mikail, you can take troy and pat off the list if you haven’t already.
Troy is tjdeuceosix, right?
correct
Great. The list is narrowing down too - find your partners and get HYPE!
Truth. I’m having a hard time even being a part of the seattle scene right now. I can’t even like join on the food excursions people have where everywhere goes out to eat somewhere buff because we’ve created this disgusting fucking SRK hierarchy. It’s like high school all over again. If I go I know I’ll do nothing but get irritated at how every conversation devolves into talking shit about someone.
I’m mickey d and I CREATED grey fox, if it were not for me he would’ve never come squeezing out of a vagina. He played KEN the first time he played third strike and because I showed him makoto he is not allowed to like that character.
I’m frank kriang josh whoever the fuck else and Jon frost is crazy and rather than give him the help he so desperately sought from friends I’m just gonna talk shit about him nonstop and ostracize him from the community in his time of need. Now look where he is. At least he’s getting the help he needs somewhere.
I’m pat and I’m gonna be a tough guy and hop on the hate train and be like yeah who the fuck are you grey fox you’re not allowed to post on MY forums because I don’t know you
Fuck this fucking SRK tier listing bullshit, I just want to play the fucking game and get better. Have a good time playing it, sure, but like… god damn. Half the ‘new blood’ that has been introduced into the scene are now tight homies with most the crew and they use it as some high school clique bullshit like it just justifies being a fucking douchebag to anyone else who’s new, or awkward, or whatever the hell people’s problems with other people are.
You don’t have to like everyone in the scene, but I really wish we could just grow up and out of this ridiculous phase we’re in. I don’t think people realize just how much we do nothing but talk shit about each other. There’s people involved in the scene that I don’t particularly care for, but do you guys know who? No, you don’t. Because I keep it to myself. It’s irrelevant. I don’t feel the need to drag other people down to that level.
This isn’t really in response to this example right here, it just seemed like a good time to vent my opinions. Kuenai has acted like a pretty big douche in the past and I can understand Josh’s frustrations with that. If he wants to play the game and get better with a good attitude then good on him, perhaps he’s matured.
Just please recognize that there’s a difference between clowning on people in jest, and being a fucking douchebag. I don’t mean to single anyone out as this is a collective attitude that is contagious and extremely unattractive on a social level. Just try to like… take a step back and look at your behavior lately. Even I’ve gotten caught up in it, getting my rocks off by talking shit about people. It’s really not that tight, let it be known.
:china:
I just like… I don’t understand. Why do people feel the need to be so negative? Are you making up for flaws in your own characters? Work on improving those then, not on tearing other people down. You know I love you guys but god damn. My most triumphant event in my entire life was finally leaving the high school realm so I could stop associating with so many immature people with shitty attitudes; so I could be myself, stop pretending to not be gay or hide any other parts of my character that will be critiqued, and here I am with a circle of friends that are slowly devolving into the same gross high school mentality and it’s really saddening me. I swear we used to be more positive, perhaps we need more Nolan, Jacob, James Walton, and Pablo in our lives. Jacob and Pablo clown on people but they understand the lines between jest and douchebaggery. Nolan and Mr. Walton are like the most positive people ever, though. It’s badass. Who here doesn’t enjoy their company? I mean come on. That is as pleasant as it gets.
Anyway, sorry to delve off-topic this is just where my rant exploded to. This has been Muggish Negro #2 signing off, fuckin’ watch out for season two, fools.
Blacksteve is my partner, so you should take me off the list. Thanks!
this is true, but i am just as guilty as everyone else in doing this.
dude, he freaked me out. to the point where i was scared for peoples safety. i was actually prepared to sacrifice my safety for a ton of people. and i was kinda done before he jumped off the deep end.
this is how every community is. atleast communities taht are this large and spread apart. it really takes events like NWM and bloody knuckles that can bring everyone together and enjoy it together. otherwise cliques form and shit talking about other cliques/people will happen. im not starting an arguement, im agreeing with you. its just hard sometimes to avoid. and i think it sucks, but i do it all the time. i guess its really just me being tired of trying to be the nice one all the time. (blah blah blah, long story of how i used to get walked over way too much for being too nice pm me if you want to know)
/nonsarcasm i hope he can find a partner then.
i find this icon racist, cuz its “china” for the tag lol.
At least it’s not like… :oriental:
Edit: awesome double post 10 minutes later…dont hit f5 to wake up your computer.
i’m still looking, and i’d say a good suggestion for matching up whoever of us are left would be by region…i.e. basically people get matched with people that are close geographically with them so it would be convenient for them to train/coordinate/etc together. so like, i live in issaquah/sammamish, so my partner ending up being someone who lives as far north as everett or as far south as puyallup would really suck for both of us especially if there was someone without a partner who was as close as bellevue.
as for the shitstorm of drama happening in this thread, it’s really not cool that everyone can’t look upon everyone else with at least a little bit of respect. i’ve been in the toronto scene for only 8 months now and i am probably hated just as much here in toronto as Kuenai is here. its one thing to talk shit, create rivalries, create hype, and even put people’s egos in their place by addressing someone’s skill level in the game and calling them out on it or putting down money that you can do better. it’s a completely different thing to talk shit to everyone else behind someones back because you do not like someone as a person. what happened to the respect that we give each other as fighting game players who dedicate themselves enough to the game to play competitively? coming from someone else currently hated in a scene he’s in, i don’t think you guys realize how much balls it takes for kuenai, who seemingly hasn’t impressed anyone with his play, all the way in mount vernon, far from a lot of competition, to fight against the waves of hate that are thrown at him, and say, “I’m ready to step it up.” driving all the way out for a just for bit of competition in a place where he isn’t taken very seriously and some people around him would rather he never been born…doesn’t that alone warrant enough respect to not be shit on?
This.
So I don’t know if I’ll be able to get the time off. Trying to get off work at 8pm so I can be at BW by 9:00. I usually work until 11:00~11:30 pm and work in Burien, so yeah…I’ll have a full load at school but I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to do this and work full-time as well.
James you still looking for a partner and can deal with the above issues if I can’t get what I need off?
