lol man.. i remember first mb tourney at C3, i was doing invalid j.2C combos with akiha and winning. i agree that the va/md level is bad. the only time we get together and play is at C3 and MB is pretty much a side tournament for most of us (except nam, he's the one that goes to C3 and plays MB all day)
as for casual matches i believe it goes as follows
nas = alone (i think he sometimes go down to play with eli and others)
me and nam
tiamat and vr
eli, 4r5 and mamation (a lil sketchy on this one, i don't think mamation plays MB much or even takes it seriously, this crew is mainly guilty gear)
rei = alone/ plays online
yea... i think i'm officially a stalker/troll
but this is just basing what i've observed and read up on. i do try to play to educate, during casuals i let them know if they could have teched or not and try to train them on how to tech out of it. sometimes i tell them it's an unblockable move (aoko's charged beam, yes some people don't know about this) or it's a high hit.
EDIT: from nam's post. yea i try to care about winning, but it's mostly money for food (yes i'm poor and in need of money...seriously). i just play and learn from what i've seen and my mistakes, it's not like i want to be the best player in the world, i'm just a guy that likes to play and not suck at the same time. face it losing sucks. that and i play for food (C3 sucks cuz things never start on time and i'm always hungry)
i mean first time i played against LK during casuals, i couldn't get a single round off his v.akiha. as the day went out i managed to squeeze out some wins (don't know if it's fatigue or not but i learned something).
oh and zar if you want to come down to C3 and just demolish everyone in MB there, i'd actually appreciate it. i wouldn't mind getting my ass kicked and learning a thing or two.
i also realized that the casual distribution list is pretty damn useless. so uhh ignore that.
