Casuals improve execution and some situation parts of gameplay but really you aren’t all out playing to win and clutch isn’t that big of a factor (at least not for me) you aren’t playing each step like it’s as vial as the last. You need something on the line when playing to show what you really are or aren’t capable of for the best in somebody to come out (again me) or people do stupid shit in casuals and win or loose say shit like I was drunk…or I wasn’t trying or some shit…I’d like to see people constantly trying but that just doesn’t always happen in casuals.
No I don’t need anything on the line when playing. And for the rare times i’m feelin hella good, if I lose, I lose. Even with liquor in me, no one made me drink, it was my own choice.
I just think that it’s silly that if I need to play the “serious” Carlos, I have to have money on the line. I honestly don’t know of any other players like that in Seattle that have 2 “modes” of play. I honestly don’t think it exists to be quite honest. If you are able to have 2 different patterns depending on wether it’s a money match or a casual match then hats off to you, because I know it’s hard as hell for me to even break some of the bad habits I do now.
And as far as playing for something, I’m playing every time to win! I’m not tryin to sit at the end of a damn rotaion, especially a big one at that =D
Yes this thread is fucking funny!
If I didn’t know any better I would say that Seattle has: Leaders, followers, and Akuma players in its scene! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaahah.
…after what I just read, I take my previous statement back.
Some people in Seattle are just fucking stupid, period!
Can I get an Amen in the house of video games?
playing hard/soft is a mental barrier that many people posses. I have it from playing vs my friends all these years. the only way i could get my friends to keep playing me in a fighting game was for me to dummy down/ sandbag. and the only way for me to play in hard mode was in a tourney.
nowdays i can play hard anytime i want. and i got that from sessions with other players that played hard.
yeah there should be more tournaments here that everyone can attend but we dont have preppys anymore and niggaz is broke so whos gonna open up their house til god knows when to run a tournament/session?
i thought the idea of this tourney was for the people who wanna show up early/prefunk. sucks its only for the 21+ crowd but not a lot we can do since yeah, its IN A BAR.
and carlos you should stop throwing in the fact you can sign up to die for your country but cant drink. this isnt a question of civil rights, you werent drafted into the military. it was your choice to sign up. they wouldnt let you legally work or get a drivers license when you were 12. theres differences between privileges, rights, and laws. you dont like it then write your congressman and see what they say
as far as not playing to full potential, if you show people you are not a joke they wont treat you like one. i wouldnt pick dan or rose against mickey d in casuals, tourney, or a money match. he’ll fuckin style on you for free and make you feel like a jackass. go hard or go home
bokkin you still my dog tho, and i admire your passion to get better
I play this game because it’s fun and I like to be flashy and burn hella meter for no reason and do fun stuff toss some demon shenanigans in there. I got the realization that that stuff isn’t going to cut it when I went to BC and MI to some tournaments/mm’s I did fine but I need to play…safe is the word I guess… more…again it may be just me but that shit happens to be the direction I need to get…I’m planning more trips up to BC if anyone wants to join hit me up…I want to go Friday (this friday) the weekend before nor cal. Also I know that the denny’s near me has a vip room that’s rentable pretty cheap and is open 24 hours I hope there is one near seattle with the same setup but I doubt it.
I feel bad for you BOHKKETz. The only SF you have tasted is no where near the pinnacle of the series. You are hungry though, and that is always a good thing.
Well, if people really want to hold tournaments, I could probably try setting some stuff up at the UW. I wouldn’t be able to take any cash though due to the UW rules with RSOs and money, so the winner won’t actually get anything. The problem is, the building closes at I think 9 PM, so we’d have to get started pretty early in the day in order to finish any tournament.
The other alternative is the HUB games room. They have a bunch of consoles there now, and they’re open until 11:30 to all people, not just students. Only catch is that you have to pay I think 4$ an hour per console, but that’d be easily coverable with each person pitching in a dollar or two. They have 8 360 consoles avaliable for setup and 1 PS3 as well, so setups are definetly not a problem.
Alright, things aren’t going to change. The 21+ law won’t change for bars, the fact that people will/will not sandbag when there’s nothing on the line won’t change… Nothing will change.
Get it straight, if you can do the research and find a place that’s feasible to hold a tournament, then yes, do work. Don’t expect the first one to be anything special though because things ALWAYS have high expectations, but always fall short.
The facts are there, “read 'em and weep” or “Do work”.
so is showing up randomly and seeing tekken 6 a “go?”
Do you guys have the 16 slots filled yet? We (team ESL) have been usually showing up to Gameworks around 7 anyways to get some games in before TW’s, but this sounds way more fun. Do we just show up at 7:00 PM?
That’s the plan but people who notify me in here and showup on time get priority for being in the bracket.
Danny you should update the first post with a list of who is “signed” up.
Awesome. Put team ESL on the list:
* (C) Richard - Blanka
* Mikhail - Ken
* Gadouken - Chun - Li
I’ll let you know if anything changes.
I’ll try to get an update in the first post tomorrow morning - too tired to compile things right now.
