CHIBI! WHAT HAPPEN?

I caught a fucking cold the second day and felt like pure shit in a blender all of Sunday. It was pretty much free for whoever got to play me, which you'll see in matches against Siblad and Sphyra. I wish that didn't sound like a cop-out but its true. Ah well.

That being said, it made me dumb happy to see how much things have progressed from when MB had its first real tournament at a major a year ago at NEC. The hype and play quality for final 8 was astounding. There's a bunch of fucking monsters and everyone's hungry, it was great.

Thanks to everyone for coming out.

That being said, I'm changing my main, I'm fucking sick of Hisui mirrors. I don't think anyone in the country has played a larger variety of people in mirror matches then I have (AND LOST ALL OF THEM lol).

It's fucking least coast; what do you want. Sorry we don't luckbox random top players from Asia or players that aren't broke as fuck (money-wise). Besides, I would take a random EC player over a random WC player (given the entire playerbase of both tournaments), even if you restricted it to just 'top players'.

Now I have to drive another four hours home and tend to my lolis (after getting three hours of sleep each of the last 3 nights) so fuck you all.

By the way, good stuff to all of East Coast, Brandino, Arlieth, etc. Anyone I didn't now before, good meeting you. Hope I didn't get on anyone's  bad side while there. Arlieth bet 20 bucks on me and I lost, and I bet 20 bucks on him and he lost, so we're even!

I have some early replays on this MeltyMac, but I'll upload them when I get home. I don't think I could rename the replays as they are.

Someone really needs to put up the pictures of that random guy trying to get out of a four-way parking lot mixup (to no success), Sp00ky taking off Sion's skirt, a $300 dollar sidebet pot on a MB match, and Dippy hunting Kayin in a gothiloli outfit.

IIRC, sibladeko has all of those pictures.

Congrats to Brandon and all the top placers : )

I want to know more about Sphyra.  Is he from the Toronto MB scene?  I remember a dude on IRC named Katie talking about how Toronto MB is serious business.  And I remember seeing vids on YouTube from G3Evolution, which is the name of fighting game group/arcade/scene/or whatever in Toronto.

Man, this game is getting hype.  F you guys.  Making me wanna come back.  And when I see people like Brandon who lives in Ohio with no serious local competition taking 1st, it makes me realize that I just need to cowboy up and play the effing game if I want to get better.
: Re: NEC8 Solo Full Results
: pbj_mixxa December 03, 2007, 05:58:17 PM
Damn, "hype" doesn't even begin to express what we had at NEC.  We OWNED the Marvel community!!! 

Seriously, during the finals, almost the entire room was drawn by that MBAC hype!  Marvel only had like 8 players, 3rd strike had like 4, and GGAC had like 3... everyone else was either playing in the Arcana tournament or watching MBAC (we talking like 50+ people!!!)!

MBAC's making a comeback, and this time... it's FOR REAL!!!

GG's to everyone i faced in the tourney:
(dont remember the name of the Nanaya player i faced first round who i also played in the SC2 tourney, but GG's)
-Zaelar using those crazy high level Yomi layers  :o
-Dippy for another intense match
-Lord Knight for a fun match that could have gone either way
-Choco for using me as a training mode dummy

And everyone i played in casuals, zar, brandino, etc. Seeing all the high level playing there really really makes me wanna start playing more...

Hey guys I'm back, but a bit too tired to post shoutouts so I'll do that later  :V

Edit: screw it I'll do my shoutout now

LordKnight: Man I told you this from the time we first agreed to be partners to the time I had to bring your drunk ass to our hotel room and casuals..."WE GOT THIS MAN!!!" And what did we do? Team Its always Brandon's Turn formely known as Bloody Curry took first place and you stayed through the end of singles man, I thank you for that one.
Man, all I can tell you is man stay hype and keep doing what you're doing with V.Akiha. Don't be feeling bad about what happened during teams man, shit happens.

Sibladeko: It was very cool being able to chill with you during the weekend (Even though we didn't get to play nowhere even close to how much we did on netplay) it was still one hell of a weekend.

Sphyra: Yo man good shit making it out to the Philly, coming all the way from canada, and taking top 5 man. Your Hisui is very solid and keep up the good shit. Also I agree with you on the netplayers need to come out and go to tournies if you  have the chance please go to them...you will not regret.

Choco: Desert Coast finest Satsuki player! Dude those $1 random character MM's were too fucking good man we'll definately have to do it again sometime. AMERICAN DENPA!!!!! Whats really good.

HeartNana: Yo man good shit on taking first in Arcana Heart and pretty much destroying w/e confidence I had left getting somewhat decent that game (I'll still play it, but I'll put more focus on melty)  :(. Also man good times getting to play your Sion in casuals man. You and LK easily have one of the better Sion's in the U.S.

Zar: You vs. XAQ was easily one of the biggest matches of the whole tournament. $220 side bet on that match alone. And I put money on you also. I wished I could've played you more in casuals and especially during tournament.

Arlieth: OMG How many times did we have to play eachother in Grand Finals man? It was mad fun playing your Nero man, and it was awesome of you coming all the way out from Cali to NEC and supporting MB.

all other shoutouts to XAQ, SeikenX, Bell, etc. and to anyone else I'm forgetting. Shit was mad fun this year and can't wait for NEC9!
: Re: NEC8 Solo Full Results
: Sphyra December 03, 2007, 10:58:44 PM
Yeah I'm from montreal like Daka said. Not much of a scene here for mb as far as I know so I'm left with netplay.

Anyway I had a really great time despite 12 hours bus ride x2, $50 stolen dollars (that could have been better wasted on side bets!) and other random bad shit, and I'd go down there to play again anytime. Offline is way fun and I really encourage netplayers to get out there and play rl if they get the chance. Especially if you have a scene around you got no excuse.

GGs to those I played, both in tournament and casuals: Spooky, XaQ, Brandino, Seiken, Chibi, Zar, Choco and anyone else I forgot.

Chibi stick with hisui man, you know your stuff with her. You just need to practice.

Sadly it's back to netplay for now but I'll show up again to events whenever I get the opportunity.

Netplaywut
It has everything to do with Brandino being good and nothing to do with SRM or netplay being good. Quit trying to nutride off of someone else's successes.
For clarification. I wasn't trying to downplay or discredit Brandon, Sphyra, or any netplayers at all. In fact, netplay has benefited many players and I expected them to do as well as they did. What I was upset at was the mindless trolling going on, because there are members in #MBAC and #SRM who dislike the other community as a whole for immature and petty reasons. I'd just like #MBAC and #SRM to respect each other and relationships have been improving, especially with the development of MBCaster. If you don't like someone, don't be so shallow to assume that their actions represent the whole community. Maybe you care or maybe you don't, but the fact is, trolling just boils blood in the global community.

I wasn't any better with my immature post of "moar like Cieltoptierwut" and wasn't clear about my intentions. I'll apologize for that.

: Re: NEC8 Solo Full Results
: Dipstick December 16, 2007, 04:53:49 PM
Uh let's see how many I remember off of the top of my head:

1) Team Bloody Curry (Brandino and Lord Knight)
2) Team Radio Shack (Arlieth and FecalPenance)
3) Team Sp00ky Time (Zar and Sp00ky)
4) ???Team Fucking Cat (Choco and bellreisa)

The rest:

Team Left Boob: HeartNana and kenmastersx
Team eyeamp: sphyra and sibladeko
Team Bloody Bubs: Dipstick and XAQshinor
Team Random 236C: Zaeler and Master Chibi
Team Sparta Kick City: Sumaragi and Beast of Fire

There were also two pick-up teams: Seiken/Nas and Light Nasgul/mystery man. There's also one other team I'm flat-out forgetting, hurr.

Yeah, Beast of Fire didn't feel like playing after the first round, so I picked up Matt (GiefRules on SRK, Frank the Tank on dustloop).

The tournament helped just about every MBAC player in NC that isn't Beast of Fire want to practice though. And for that I am thankful.

Just to make sure, Scott you're only editing/doing the top 8 (well it was more than top 8) with commentary that we directly recorded right?
As I basically have most? of the replays before then, can I encode those and put those up on noobtube?
New quad core is itching for a trial run.

(Also it'd help if you gave me the bracket breakdown Dippy)

You guys are retarded. Good job yell at him thats going to make it done faster. While you're at it demand he somehow send you a multiple gig unencoded master copy of what Arlieth recorded cause that's totally feasible. You guys better hope he doesn't delete the footage out of spite.

: Mailorder January 09, 2008, 02:32:31 PM
Choco, I'm on your side about the Leo vs. You money match not showing up online, but you need a better approach regarding this issue with the NEC8 videos.  Yes, it sucks that everyone's waiting on one guy.  But it's his videos, and it's his life that comes first.  Even if there's a community waiting on him.  Doesn't matter if he's struggling through tough times or if he's masturbating 8 hours a day.  He recorded the videos, so he's got the full right to work on 'em or throw them away.

Although, I wasn't at NEC.  I don't know how hype it was.  And I don't know if everyone was depending on Scott to be THE videoman for NEC Melty Blood.  But either way, the "real talk" here isn't gonna work because all you're doing is publically attacking him.  You're accusing him of being a hype-killer.  And whether it's true or not doesn't matter - it's just not cool to point fingers.  If you have to, take it to the PMs.

There's another resolution to this.  Why is Scott the only one recording Top 8s?  If he doesn't feel comfortable with other people working with his material, then we need other people recording as well.  While I don't support Choco's approach, I still support videos.  Kejea and Nerina are crushing West Toasts and there are no videos as to why.  It's personally cripping for me, because without videos - I have no idea what in the world a Mech-HISUI player is doing right to beat the best.  But yeah.  I don't blame Scott.  I don't blame anyone.  Let's just get more people recording matches.  If I make it to WT10, I'll have a camcorder to save Kejea's matches myself.  Bet it.

What on earth is happening here?

Choco: I understand your frustration, but you should have first PM'd Scott and Arly first about this. If nothing happens, then you can do this. I'm sorry if you already did PM about it, but these type of things are unnecessary and bring shit on the boards, meaning I have to deal with it, and I don't have as much time as I used to being able to surf through these boards. Hell, you could have even PM'd me about it, and I would have pressed it with probably as much aggression you might have used, but a tone or two down.

There's things that've been going on with Scott that haven't been so great. If you also knew Scott's line of work, you might be half-surprised that he doesn't have an IV drip currently attached.
: Re: NEC8 Solo Full Results
: Mailorder January 10, 2008, 12:39:05 AM
I don't know if NEC8 was dumped on Scott or if he requested it, but if he didn't record the videos... then I guess it's best if he passes it along to someone who's willing to start editing.

---------

regarding Choco's "aggression", I'll defend him here.  he's actually pretty chill about the whole thing.  managed to chat with him at work.  he just has poor word choice.

Hey, if some bad stuff if happening with Scott right now, then my bad. Since there have been so very few updates as to what's going on with any of the recent tournament videos, I posted what I THOUGHT was relevant. I won't edit the above just because hey, that's what I said.

Allow me to use a World of Warcraft analogy.

When you are a Warrior class in combat in World of Warcraft, you slowly generate rage without actually hitting anything. This rage meter builds up and up ever so slowly from just sitting in combat. The problem is, this rage doesn't get used. The warrior is just sitting there and he has nowhere to dump the rage. There's only so much time to sit around and wait until the rage bar is full and the warrior feels he's gotta dump it and fast. Based on the lack of communication and progress updates, I dumped my rage where I thought it needed to be.

and instead of just putting blames, encourgement or some compassion for their work might even make their days, and who knows, maybe they will FEEL better and want to do the video.. just blaming only gona piss them off or what not.

My sincere apologies to everyone involved in this. I have spoken to Arlieth about the state of things, and while the videos are not done yet and I still want them done, my conduct was definitely out of line. My posts above have been edited because leaving them would prove nothing and sure didn't help anything. It must have been me and the 2/3rds of a bottle of sake talking about something that would have been better left said at a different time in a different tone.

i see choco's point in all this, after all his match was by far the most hype. and yeah sorry for not getting it out timely, but i have wt8 BEFORE i do NEC, but all i really need is 5-6 hour block of time to just sit with both of the videos to get them out.

and as for those wt3 videos, zaido. they dont actually exist anymore. the hard drive that housed those video raws failed (through no fault of our own), and all the videos within. Blame Western digital.
