Abel: No worries. Those first few games I played against you, you pretty much shut me out, but thanks for the kind words. Now, I have to learn to win against Q, Hugo, Alex to some extent, and Sean.
Anthony: Sorry, me and nate couldn’t make it out last night. Zankou’s, hookah, and Jager got in the way. Maybe next week if we see you at Camelot?
Dentron: Do you play Tag or T4? I’m so sick of T4 I went back to Tag and realized how sveet a game it is. If you need some Tag practice, message me on AIM (SiroSix) or email me at whiterob@tekken.cc so we can set up a session or something.
I’ve wondered that question as well. Personally, I say “tee-ear” as well. So, I did some researching (www.m-w.com) and I’ve found the proper pronunciation is 'tir. I did some more investigative reporting and found that it sounds much like the word “pier” who’s pronunciation is 'pir. Finally, the pronunciation of tier was compared to the word “tear” which has the same pronunciation: 'tir. So there ya go–say it “tear” and not “tire”. My googling and researching is top-tier!
Bringing up a completely different topic: I have been hit by Akuma’s Raging Demon in MvC2. Note that I suck at MvC2 (although I hope to maybe get better with some more practice and play). I got hit by Raging Demon thiswise: I was cornered and playing “turtleface” (aka GTO- Great Turtler Okazuna, but the turtleface reference is to Sealab 2021); he did Ken’s Shoryu-Reppa while I was blocking, then, as Ken went up the screen, he DHCed into Akuma’s Raging Demon. I brought this up because I just remember a post from a while ago about hitting raging demons.
yea…i saw that mvc2 match…i swear i saw him do that to someone else too a long time ago…
anyways…
zZz…give me my maki gif damn it
oh yea…someone brought it up that we should post the nicknames used at zot…to find out who they are…just pm someone who knoes…
GTO
GTU vice city
happy 1080 (although eugene says he’s not so happy anymore)
Kpop-er
Mr. Woo
shotoguy
supermullet
albino white scrub
TBS(i’m not sure if that was a nickname for him…)
that’s all i recall that had a nickname…i’m sure there’s more, go ahead and add any that i missed…
some nicknames that i remember being used for people that we know…
some are generic nicknames that i just heard people say
uci’s resident combofiend - abel’s nick for eugene
the eagle player - chris…duh…
marcASs/the cheater - ace and nate’s nickname for marcus
baldy guy that’s good - kavin/kevin’s nickname from previous uci thread …heh…(is it kavin or kevin?)
the guy that beats everyone - doug
i’m pretty sure some people refer to me as “the guy that uses maki” :-/
dentron - dentron…hell i think i’m the only one that knoes his real name…
the guy with green hair - john
holy man jeezzz…
there was even a kid who was in like 7th grade who was kicking ass, quite a sight i must say. The gaming was pretty insane, for all of those who havent been to svgl before, its got 2 cvs2 cabinets, 2 3s cabinets, 3 mvc2 cabinets, 2 sc2 cabinets, KOF, TTT, GGXX, A3, i think 2 SFST cabinets, and last but not least, killer instinct 2. I also got to watch people like John Choi and his n-groove akuma, i guess he got lost going home one night and ended up in america cause he plays just like the l337 japanese players. it was fun, even thouhg i got my arsehole ripped…
me, marcus, and ace’s list of nicknames (this was b4 we knew all of their names and it just stuck):
baldy: kavin
whitey: chris
hardcoreguy: doug
turtleface: that one turtle guy, GTO
hotoguy: another name for shotoguy
roll canceller with glasses: archie, i think
and this was our worst one…
thanos: for david i think???
yeah, these were thought up on the fly and nothing personal, but it stuck cuz we never really knew anyone’s name in the beginnig. oh yeah, for a while ace called eugene the “GQ guy”
Edit: Just a couple i remembered now.
Jeebus: the guy with long hair that plays 3s that looks like jesus
King of Zot Zone: Sean Liu… Lieu?.. Lui???.. whatever
Akuma fool: the asian kid with glasses that uses akuma in 3s
nate dizzy, you forgot “joo-go” for the huge hugo-esk guy with glasses that plays hugo in the 3s.
by the way the orignal yb2 nicknames that are used might come off slightly offensive, but believe us, they’re just to make for what we lack in actual gaming skill.
if anyone was in fact offended, take it up with marcass, cuz it’s really all truly his fault.
“The Janitor.” Such a fitting nickname. He deserves something better like “OneSource Sanitation Engineer.”
Allen: I don’t know why but Cha for Tea breeds animosity. I think Wen was relieving some stress from losing to you earlier today. But not to worry, that’s the way we doos it in YBS.
but on the real, your rock has improved dramatically…you just gotta land that “whoops i’m behind yous now” throwee throw into the “i punch you and kick you upside down” super.
and i should know this, but i was wondering if anyone knows any other way to combo mai’s “i’m skipping at you while my body is engulfed in flames” super, other than my short x3 super.
EUGENE, I would have sent a private message but I figure it’s a good idea to see if anyone else wants some.
I can make custom sticks for anyone who is willing with cash. I can bust a 360 for less than a MAS stick, and to my knowledge MAS charges 90-100 for an 8-way (someone let me know if this is incorrect ). I made a single mistake with my first prototype but it is easily fixed.
Anyone who wants me to build them a stick should pm me. I can put weights or rubber feet on it, or even plexiglass covering some artwork if you have something in mind or want me to draw it. My dad (who controls all the carpentry tools [and skill] in our family) says that if we make another stick we might as well make a bunch, so inquire away!
