Finally finished my Hori SCV stick mod -

What should of been a quick job took a frustrating turn because the nuts under the front panel screws were not secured in place at all (Same problem with the Madcatz TE sticks, except they just glue’em in place all messy like, but they still manage to get loose). One of the screws (Top left hand side) didn’t even have a nut at all, and it was behind the pcb board, so I had to take that off… what a pain. Thankfully my local hardware store carried the correct nut.

Definitely rolling a Qanba or Eightarc next time I go stick shopping.

Although I do love that trap door for the start button.

:eek: Siiiiiiiiiick.

I hope Qanba/Eightarc don’t do that nonsense with the nuts. Any of you Qanba owners know what their deal is?

:eek: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yo

Good seein’ everyone today. Glad Snowman didn’t collapse on the way to or from the venue.

Shoutouts to Cole for rockin’ MvC3 and winning. Also, shoutouts to my stick for bein’ the tool of champions.

That’s right, I said it: http://eightarc.com/

Yannick and Steve: Excellent driving with you guys, truly enjoyed your company immensely. Hopefully, Gary’ll be able to jump in next time.

And Daniel:

Yes, U.S. Agent is cooler than Captain America. . .That’s right, I said it, again.

Cheers.

:eek: GGs, everyone.

Kinda wish I had gotten to meet Running Wilder, though. Maybe next time.

Amazing food. Kinda wish I went to the bar, but I honestly wasn’t feeling it tonight.

Cole made me very proud today. It was very entertaining to see him not crumble and finally realize his place as WNY #1.

Shoutouts to Yannick for being the greatest sponsor in WNY. Seriously, I couldn’t have made it there without you.

Shoutouts to Mike for making it to Syracuse and saving me from a fate worse than death (trapped in bus station while my money goes elsewhere). You are much man.

Shoutouts to Damus for holding the line on the brackets and doing a good job of TOing yet again. You’ve done a ton for our community in upstate, it’s nice to see the three cities, and even Albany now, coming together to compete. That being said, thanks for hating on me, it gave me the motivation to play hungry, which also got you bopped.

Shoutouts to Dave for pushing me to my limits as a player. Those were some of the most intense sets of Marvel that I’ve played with anyone, period. It could very easily have gone the other way, but I got the upper hand today. Between tournament sets and the FT10 we did, final set count was 18-15 in my favor. Thats pretty much about as even as one can go with anyone in this game. Tons of sick mixups, reads and movement, great confirms, just really stellar play all around. It was a pleasure to be able to play the game at that level. PS: I think I was more hype for a Doom confirm he made against me in Winners Finals than any single moment in the tournament, including winning it lol.

Shoutouts to Wasim for letting me use the Weapon of Mass Destruction during the entire tournament, even when it hindered his casuals. I’m gonna buy one in a week or so I think. You are a champion. =D

Shoutouts to Gary for having the faith in me from deep, even when I had no plans of going to the tournament (and neither did he! lol).

Shoutouts to Steve for a good performance in SC, and bestowing me the powers of WillGetPaid. Prophecy fulfilled.

Shoutouts to Minh for doing so well in AE, but slops for picking Sentinel. Dont play that character man, you play too many legitimately good characters well to waste your time on that trashbot.

Shoutouts to Goggles for bringing the hype as always. The day you can practice reliably will be a scary one indeed. Stop dodging me bro!

Shoutouts to Dan for making it out and repping Rochester, I wasn’t able to catch your matches but its great to see such a diverse team played well.

Shoutouts to Neil for not coming

Shoutouts to everyone I played today that I diddn’t explicitly mention. I’m sure most of you are salty, and I’ll be looking forward to the next time we play. =D

Now, I need to sleep. After all, there’s a Marvel tournament in 6 hours that I intend to win.

Just got a great 10 hours of sleep so I’ve been feeling much better. Fever feels like it’s gone and my throat has been clearing up, gonna go wash dishes for the rest of the day then take the day off tomorrow. If anyone gets sick, I’m really sorry!

Shoutouts to everyone, you all know who you are.

Syracuse is awesome and keeping us alive. Though we need a bigger venue for Dust Bowl, love that place for ranbats though.

Aslo Cole, you know anywhere I could stay if I go down to NYC for a few days?

Big shoutout to the Syracuse crew for putting on another Dustbowl. I really had a great time playing with and talking to everybody and gained some great SC match-up experience.

GGs, Dave in Marvel and SC - we will play casuals next time. Or better yet, I’ll see you in bracket pkay.

Damus - NO, I will not mm you in Marvel, lol! How cute. Casuals any time though.

A huge shoutout to the SC community - however small it is - in WNY for coming through and supporting our amazing game. A special thanks to Lordsavior and the other NYC monsters for dropping in and pushing the rest of us to the limit and for recording matches. What a hype tourney!

And of course, shoutouts to my Rochester brethren

Wassim and Yannick - I Had a blast hanging out and discussing everything game related with you gentlemen and of course I would not have been able to come out and compete without help from both of you.

Minh, Mike, Dan, and anyone else whose stick, I borrowed, thanks for being awesome.

Cole, GGs on winning Marvel. You got paid, son! We all knew you had it in you.

thank u everyone for the support … it really means alot to me

Wasn’t gonna come for Marvel, no suspense for the outcome.

I did call up the old vets who are firmly in D3 land ATM, to join in a late car for sidebet action, but all I got were nos and “yes to VF” so that happened instead. ><

Mucho grats on playing yourself up and getting over that hump! I’ll be watching for vids.

The comeback of American Pop?

[media=youtube]fWNaR-rxAic[/media]

It’s a trap, man

[media=youtube]4RXfVSQYh84[/media]

Oh Shit!!!

Mr. Norman Burg!!! Straight out the gate with the trollin’!

I LIKE IT.

Hahahahahahahaha

Thanks to Louis for the free money.

Callouts to Damus, for dodging me and not giving me free money, and playing his side teams against me and getting bopped, and then getting trash talked into playing his real teams and getting bopped some more.

However, shout outs to damus for a sweet tournament and for paying my entry for SC and Marvel.

call outs to whoever made my SC bracket… I went 1 and 2, losing to polish mafia and lordsavior… how does that happen? lose to 2nd and 3rd place and get like 9th, while the dude I beat first round gets 4th? what?

shoutouts to lord savior tho. for recording and playing side characters on me and getting bopped and then whipping out the (shouldnt really be a) surprise Nightmare in our tournament set.

shoutouts again to lord savior for having 10 hp left in game 5 of match 5 of our set, guarding breaking me, and then pulling a 65% combo to win the match.
yo, fk nightmare.

call outs to everyone that placed higher than me in marvel, but wouldnt money match me. all yall nigs wack.

shout outs to dan for driving and taking me to taco bell even though he didnt want to.

shoutouts to gas for us no longer needing 30$ worth of you to get to syracuse and back.

shoutouts to Eiji, I hope he gets sponsored by EG.

shoutouts for twk? for what I see as throwing his match to me.

shoutouts to this region for being run by white boys.

shoutouts to captain america, he actually didnt embarrass himself in this game for once.

shoutouts to rochester for not having 5 good marvel players that can show up to a tournament anymore.

Shoutouts to VF5. I feel like im a lot better than I should be in that game. 1 2 3 HO YEEEAAAAA

callouts to all you scrubs that dont play skullgirls. its all good though, after that patch drops, the game will be wayyyy better.
