Oh, totally. I bodied that scrub.

Summary of my CEO in the spoiler if you care:

Damn that was fun. Got to see lots of cool dudes doing cool things. Got plenty of casuals in.

I went 1-2 in KoF. My first match was against Chris G. I think you can all guess how that went. Second match was against some dude that thought Duo Lon anchor was a good idea. Beat him and then played this dude that always beats me in every local KoF tournament. One of these days I'm going to learn to stop pressing buttons against his Terry and take him out. I was in character crisis for a little while and settled on a team the week before, but my K' wasn't doing any work in casuals so I just ran Mature/Clark/Kyo again. Definitely going to go hard on that K' though.

Number 1 thing I need to work on from now on is defense.... I really need to find more people to play this damn game. There's no other way I can think of improving defense.

Other random stuff:
Some friends of mine did very, very well. My friend Colin made it to top 8 of soul calibur V. He plays a really solid Natsu. He lost his first match to the dude that eventually won with Mitsu (who also won MLG btw). He said he was feeling pretty tired and made some uncharacteristic mistakes and lost patience. His last match was against Kayane and he said he didn't have much experience against Viola. Also there are apparently some really weird hitbox issues in that match. Apparently one of Natsu's best punishes is counter-hit while-rising K, but on Viola it randomly whiffs due to her wonky hitboxes. I guess it happened 3 times in the match against Kayane, but I honestly don't even know what it looks like so I couldn't tell you where it happens.

My other friend Petey has a beastly Akuma and made it to losers finals of his AE pool. He got double jeopardied by F. Champ's Sim. He's a really good player and I honestly think if he had more experience the skies the limit for this dude.

I didn't really know anyone else that did well. Pretty sure no one from my town got 0-2'd so that's always nice.

The guy that used to run tournaments in my town has known Jebailey for a really long time was telling me some pretty funny stories of behind the scenes stuff. He was running some AE pools and some dude who didn't make registration on time filled in for someone that didn't show. Dude was all happy and then my friend's like.. "ok you are officially in the bracket. Your first match is against.... Justin Wong. Good luck!" He was also the one to pick up Daigo and Gamerbee from the airport. He'd try to make conversation and tried to ask what they like to do for fun and if they have day jobs. Both of them said SF is their job.

Daigo's a lot shorter than I thought he'd be. He had this weird thing going on with his hair. My friend took a picture of him and he looked somewhere between stoned and mannequin.

I got to play two guys from top 8 of kof: Romance and that Carlos dude from Florida that came out of nowhere. Both of them bodied me hard and Romance was freely giving advice. Really cool dude. I really wanted to play the answer but the line was pretty long and there were only 4 casual stations. David Kong (dude from LA that commentated at UFGT8) was there and he's a super nice dude. He's made me fear every Vice.

Its pretty funny how nice everyone is in the KoF community... its nothing like Marvel where shit talk is everywhere... probably because everyone just wants to build the community and is afraid to scare people away. Its pretty sweet though.

Last but not least... DiveKick! Holy shit, what an awesome game.

tl;dr: CEO was fun.

Also this happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvrTVn_qF30&feature=youtu.be

Munkus Beaver

Was real proud of my boy Mike Ross.

Dude showed up. Was not just a pretty face, he took a chomp son. I guess he drank that Combofiend blood which made fiend have to hulk out and lose at MVC3.

I Win Swordfights

holy shit his hands

nope, no marvel for me

I Win Swordfights

wow

wooooooow that video

TheStig

Champ can be a tool, but if you can't take a little shit talking maybe you're playing the wrong game.

Vann Diras

Nah champ was being an asshole for no real reason there

Like cool dude you are better than that random guy at a video game. If it's someone you know or if there's a rivalry, cool. But don't say shit like that to strangers, man.

Anyway hey guys my 360 is back to being able to connect to the Internet! I can play games again, even though it'll be on my building's shitty shared wifi

Wimble

so it was what, 11 different characters in top 12 AE and only one repeat character in the main teams of marvel top 8 or something like that?

good times

That Dave Fella

Damn that video.

blaze_zero

Does anyone have that Jwong intro gif from Korea?

The one where he dances?

chamberlain

blaze_zero

Isn't there a longer one? Or am I on crack?

Knob

Think I'm as good as I'm gonna get at ae and kof for the moment. Any drastic changes to my play at this point I feel would do more harm than good

So I started putting some time in on mk9. I think im gonna have to do the lame shit and rock what's broken. Problem is, there have been enough patches that most of the info I've found doesn't apply any more or doesn't specify what version it applies to. So, anyone who follows mk: what is the broken, dumb shit? Is it still jax?

Zen Vulgarity

jwong is so good

Wimble

Jax is good, but I think Kabal is considered the business atm

turtling kenshi is also nasty

blaze_zero

Johnny Cage crotch punch into uppercut.

It's unblockable.

Wimble

I keep hearing cage destroys some matchups completely but that he isn't really top tier overall and from what I've seen that seems to be the case

unintentional

Joke about how I've never played mk but I hate jack anyway because of the had in LoL

Except that wasn't a random dude. Its unkn0wn, a dude from the midwest who usually places pretty high at tournaments. He also has a history of losing his cool to shit talk (see his money matches vs omgitzandre).

For all we know Champ might have done it just to get in his head. Everything I've heard from people who met the guy said he's pretty nice.

blaze_zero

I think the better answer is video gamez.

This was the best thing. There was a Fuerte in top 12. I don't think I have ever seen that before.

And Daigo getting knocked out by the Rufi was very amusing.

We saw a damn Oni vs. Fuerte matchup in the team tournament.

It was like my dream come true.

blaze_zero

iPeru has actually made it pretty far in a tournament or two before this. I'd hate to fight his Fuerte.

We need to fight again sometime Chamberlain.

Knob

Last tournament I played in, I was knocked out by a fuerte

So I learned the hell out of the matchup and made Walt cry

Then I felt better

Wimble

iPeru got 3rd at SCR2011, I believe, which was the tournament where Justin's Rufus evolved to the point where I started preferring it over Ricky's Rufus again (and for some reason I can only manage to care about a single Rufus at a time.)

blaze_zero

Making Walt cry is not an accomplishment Knob.

It happens everyday.

Apparently Mago lost his passport, so he's just going to stay stateside with Justin and destroy wnf and trb until evo

The broken dumb shit is the game called Mortal Kombat.

I haven't followed the game in a long while but given how sketchy their patches are, I'd bet Kabal, Jax, Ermac and Smoke are still dumb. The next time I'll play this game is at anime expo.

finally watching marvel finals

holy shit these people are amazing at marvel
