LPT vs Komidol finals. Lets go.
Seriously though, any top players going, or you guys just gonna whore NYC?
Idk why you guys are hating on Nero... but he is the best character in the game in my opinion.
It's because he's frustrating to play against. Think of it like SF4's Sagat.
I hope you realize that I want people to go to the tourney in CT and that's what I meant from my last post.
Please don't advertise other tournaments in threads like these, it's not the place. Thanks.
Ok, first off:
1. Saiyd and myself are not backing out because we can't handle the differences between the PS2 and arcade version. That adds to our frustration, yes, but nowhere near enough to warrant us never returning.
2. We've never given up on the game. I myself have been playing it for three to four years now, I dont' see why I would just kick it to the side and call it a day.
3. I don't appreciate having to deal with a bunch of fucking children who can't keep their mouth shut when I'm enjoying myself, or like to make smarmy remarks about the game like I didn't fucking hear it when I'm standing right next to them.
4. We went from 16+ people for a tournament to 9. If Saiyd and myself hadn't gone you would have to have run some shitty round robin. Sure, it's a given that we'll get small numbers, but we've got 20 people supporting the game in NYC alone, so why would I go to TGA to deal with that shit again?
Ok, Saiyd and myself had a good long chat on the bus ride back (thank you traffic ._.) and we've more or less decided that we're probably (99% sure) not going to return to TGA. There's too much stress just getting there, and then Saiyd and myself have to go through the fact that we're STILL not used to the speed of the arcade version (in reality the amount of time we've spent playing at TGA doesn't even add up to an entire day, where as you 'local' folk have gotten far, far more then that under your belts)? The hitstop is very much different, Saiyd (of all people) can't do Aoko's BnB, it took me three trips to TGA just to do Hisui's. Shit's just a headache. Zar was getting angry at you for a reason KDJ, you were pulling some stupid shit that he would have fucked you over for real good on the PS2, but his confidence is half that at TGA (hell, the first time we went he was worried he wasn't even going to place).
Ugh.
The real kicker was the fact that people STILL talk shit about the game, disrespect it (while they're standing right next to us AS WE'RE FUCKING PLAYING), walk infront of people taping the game, and the numbers have just dwindled down to the point where it's obvious that noone at TGA gives a fuck for the game, and that Saiyd and myself have to bust our ass, make someone go out of their way to pick us up, house us, and that things will pretty much not change anytime soon. The cabinet would be getting so much more love in NYC, I'm sure the scene would have doubled even. At the very least, it'd be amongst people who could appreciate the game with an open mind to bother playing it at all.
With the PC version coming out this week, even if the port is half way decent, it'll more or less be enough for us not to visit TGA again.
No hate to TGA as venue, nor Andy for ever being gracious enough to buy the game in the first place, or Dipstick going as far as he has to push it, or those few folks who have been playing with us from day one, but enough is enough.

Dippy, sorry for being emo and walking out, I was just really frustrated and obviously couldn't handle it so I went to go bang shit on PoPn for a bit. Going from eating 9 overheads to a turtley match against you just fucked with my head good. I'm immensley grateful for the housing and transportation.
>_>
