I was practicing with Zaelar years ago on his shitty laptop (so shitty that if two people wanted to both play Hisui and Kohaku the thing would cough and wheeze until death) and then pestering him to bring it to random local tournaments where it annoyed the fuck out of everyone, until I met Vic (sp00ky) that is. I also met Saiyd (Zar) through someone else two years back. I'd play where I could get a laptop set up, Saiyd would tag along if possible (like at ECC X), and eventually once Vic got his place we'd start going to his place for gatherings.
Since then we randomly hold 'hell camps' and I try and throw MB as part of local tournaments here in NJ and NYC (while managing to fuck it up in the meanwhile). I plan on running something at FRX with help, and the same can be said for Evo East and Evo World. TGA tournaments when possible are a must as well.
I also believe that I held the first MB tournament back in 2005, haha. I WON 50 CENTS FROM IT, ROCK THE FUCK ON.
And yet through all this I still play like a two year old.
