You and I both know CHQ won't be getting any new fighters for a long while.
Saying you'd only play MB if the new one was out is like saying you won't play SF4 till the arcade gets SSF4. That pretty much just means you're never going to play because there will always be a "new" version. I mean, I'm pretty sure it didn't stop you from playing SF4 when SSF4 was announced did it? I mean, no offense or anything, that really just sounds like an excuse to not play. I mean even at Mike's house, whenever I saw you I'd be like "Hey let's play MB" and unless there was at least 2 other people playing the game, your response was usually "Nah, I'ma just play some SF4 right now".
Besides, I've asked about your schedule before. I mean look at Torry. Not being able to go to MB meets due to work schedules? Torry has like the most fucked up work schedule's I've ever seen yet, he still makes it out whenever he can not to mention host meets. Got work? Tell me when you're off. I can easily schedule a meet for that time. Oh but wait, you're probably busy with something else. Probably SF4. I understand that's your main game, but you definitely make time for that. Enough time to get out of your so called busy schedule to go to the Canada Cup. If you aren't interested in this game, I don't really get why you would always say stuff like "SF4 sucks, we should play MB" but never do. If you like SF4 that's all you, just cuz I don't like SF4 doesn't mean you have to "go with the flow" and say you hate it too. Obviously that's not the case. Especially when you're saying shit like "SF4 is a terrible game so let's play MB" and never end up playing it.
I'm sorry, I should've clarified. I meant MB(AA) in general, not MBCC. It seems to me if CHQ were to get MB, it would be CC. If I were always waiting for the newest iteration, well, I wouldn't be playing anything.
It's funny how you think I have time for SSFIV now (or rather, make time). I used to (before I had a job and went to Mike's), but I don't now. I haven't played SFIV/SSFIV in a long time right now. As for MB at that time, I felt like I really needed to hit up training mode before I had a real sit down session against you or any other experienced player. Mainly to digest the Aoko strats you told me and to give myself time to figure out blockstrings, bnbs, etc. That's why I refused. Why did I refuse on more than one occasion? Because I couldn't play MBAA at home at the time (few weeks/months...? I forget), and I really didn't want to kick anyone off a set-up at Mike's just so I could go into training mode by myself. Oh, and I really only played SFIV at Mike's when Ray or Clarence asked me to.
I booked time off to go to Canada Cup... But I'm done with traveling to tournaments. Maybe EVO 2011, but we'll see about that.
And SFIV
IS a terrible game. After Canada Cup, I was done with the current SSFIV. It's been a little over a month since I last really played. And I didn't even play SSFIV during the month before Canada Cup. I had like, 2 practice sessions 2 months before the event. >_>"
Strangely, I feel like playing MB now. XD
I've got a buddy who really wants to play MBAA, but he's an arcade player. Said something about playing MBAC a lot at CHQ, until no one challenged him anymore and CHQ removed the cabinet.
I've got one more reason why I can't show up at meet-ups, but I'll have to tell you that in private.
