nagai Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 My favourite comment from that video: "A Phoenix team didn't win EVO. A Haggar team won EVO. Haggar was just too busy saving his city and piledriving Odin to be on point."
nagai Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 (edited) OK so the plan so far is fly to Vancouver Aug 11, and come back to Aug 18. do you mind if I stay at your place for a while Mike?? I will come bearing gifts of my native home land Prince Rupert. man if I could easily ship my GGAC machine down, I totally would. doing that alone would cost close to my flight ticket down though lol. Maybe I should invest in a nice truck so I can make my cab more mobile. Edited August 4, 2011 by nagai
ghostgoodboy Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 THAT PIPE speaking of which, Wu and Alexie should definitely get in line to get the free crack pipe that they are about to issue out free.
Saru Kada Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 lol ray. what the fuck naruto? long: of course, not a problem
Saru Kada Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 tears on mars I guess the aliens have marvel too
Teyah Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 (edited) Get a photo with her/him. Hopefully after you win, so that you can say that you are the most beautiful. So I ended up facing Kayo Police in my pool's losers' bracket semifinals and yes, I won (CQC BAYBEEEEEEEEEEE) Afterwards she forced a hug on me and I was incredibly confused. Also her camera guy was recording the whole thing (match and all; it was hype) so I will be all over Japanland soon if not already! Stefan, look for me on Kayo's TV show please~ :grin: Paul, how'd you do @ EVO? also what are you doing from Aug 13-20? 13th for GG and (I believe) tied for 64th in MvC3. Not bad when Marvel had something like 1500-1700 people. Didn't make it out of my pools in AE though, lost to a Rose player after eliminating Kayo. In AE, I lost my first game to buktooth who just ran over me with Ibuki vortex. Then in MvC3 I was eliminated by famed JO player Stone Nguyen. Viets 2, Teyahs 0. As for the rest of the summer I am working, bosses so angry that I took off for a week. And man, what is with these new smilies :roll: Edited August 5, 2011 by Teyah
BagLunch Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 gj Paul! How many participants did the GG tournament have? Is the bracket posted anywhere?
Teyah Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Thanks! GG tourney had 97 entrants I think. Bracket is up here: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/784/ggxxacevobrktfinal.gif
sweetvids Posted August 5, 2011 Posted August 5, 2011 Oh Kayo he so pretty. You should be honoured Paul.
ghostgoodboy Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Latif didn't play the tournament? I mean his Eddie is insane. RF taking first place no surprise, any footage of the tournament? especially finals.
sweetvids Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Latif played, He lost to Hell Monkey in losers bracket after being sent there in the first round.
nagai Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 (edited) good to hear back from you paul, and good to know you're still kicking ass. what are you doing in a couple of weeks from now? Let's play some GG if you have some spare time. how possible is it to visit where ever you are? Cranbrook now? I'm on vacation the week of Aug 15. Edited August 6, 2011 by nagai
BagLunch Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Finished one run of Catherine. I have honestly no desire to play through the game again, in spite of all its endings. The boss levels are mostly really annoying. I'm going to youtube the rest of the endings.
Zieg Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 Was RF using Faust? I wanna see EVO2011 Guilty Gear vids. /qq Cheers, Zieg
Teyah Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) R.F used Faust, yeah. In casuals he was playing Eddie too and it was interesting to watch/play against. The guy was playing like a total random crazy american when he used Eddie, IADs and j.Ks and raw 236K summons all day, no respect at all. But it worked because his spacing was so good, even if his Eddie strings were not. I only saw him lose like 3 rounds in total out of 10 games with his Eddie. But woki says he bodied him, so that is good! good to hear back from you paul, and good to know you're still kicking ass. what are you doing in a couple of weeks from now? Let's play some GG if you have some spare time. how possible is it to visit where ever you are? Cranbrook now? I'm on vacation the week of Aug 15. Cranbrook is roughly 10 hours away from Vancouver by car, and I will be working the rest of the month... so this wouldn't be a great time to meet up I think. I am planning on moving into either Vancouver or Calgary within the next 6 months so that should make it more feasible to meet up with you guys more often. I miss cities Edited August 7, 2011 by Teyah
BagLunch Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Were any of the GG matches recorded? Even though it's been forever since I last played GG, I still want to see how Faust wins IN AMERICA.

ghostgoodboy Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 Thinking about ordering Demon's Soul, would you recommend it Stefan?
BagLunch Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 So in the past few years, China has taken over as the dominant nation in DOTA. I never knew! But it's serious enough that not only has some rich kid bought a team with $3 million of his dad's cash, but videos of dota events in China have substantial crowds. I have to wonder, though, what is it about DOTA that has managed to strike a nerve in China? AFAIK, China isn't a WC3 or SC powerhouse, even though internet games and a >1 billion population would certainly enable a strong scene. Even before that major team purchase, the very top teams were full-on, salaried professionals. SC1 was dominated to such an extent by Korea that it's possible no other nation would ever catch up, and maybe that put a damper on people trying to break into that game professionally in China. Or maybe it's just that Chinese gold farming is the strongest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMEErO1U1qY I can't imagine how many playthroughs have to be watched to dig up material for this every week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6beYZNJ080 but some of that stuff is just crazy awesome
Mightfo Posted August 8, 2011 Posted August 8, 2011 not my thread, but I have to wonder, though, what is it about DOTA that has managed to strike a nerve in China? AFAIK, China isn't a WC3 or SC powerhouse, even though internet games and a >1 billion population would certainly enable a strong scene Actually, IIRC WC3 is quite big in china, so i bet that may explain it
