Middle Tennessee Needs Gaming! Monthly Versus Tourneys - Antioch, TN

[Vocal Sabre]

Remember the guy named Kriss. A couple Tourneys back. Was sleeping most of the time. Played as Tager. Only managed to beat you once match? I'm not that guy. Nah Just kidding, it was totally me.

[Vocal Sabre]

Excuse me, I meant to say one round. Hontōni mōshiwake arimasen watashi wa yo.

[CakeWasBannedd]

Hontōni mōshiwake arimasen watashi wa yo.

are you fucking serious right now holy shit

[Vocal Sabre]

are you fucking serious right now holy shit

Did I....say something wrong?

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

Nothing on the thread whatsoever.

[Milln]

Milln, I think you need to understand a few things my friend; One, I have already gotten over the whole fuckin interview shit a long time ago. Jackie agreed to take it over so it has nothing to do with me. Second, you claim that i'm dodging you guys like i'm scared or something when the fact is, I could care less about fighting any of you. Third, I don't know if YOU'VE ever tried to find a converter, but finding a good one is pretty hard and my wallet isn't always so accessible to buy random stuff. Fourth, i've never taken my name-calling seriously and neither has anyone else, now all of a sudden it's a problem? wtf? You've got some balls claiming I would dodge anyone, when the fact of the matter is I would never dodge a fight, if i'm not playing it's sincerely because I can't play so shut this shit up. Last time I checked I didn't get stomped down or whatever shit you're talking about. In the end, you're the one who needs to calm down trying to write a story on why I need to calm down. Get over yourself man.

1. Great. It'd be silly if you were still upset about it.

2. That isn't the point I made.

3. Nope, but I just took two minutes with Google and found this site that contains converters that people swear by and this thread is where I got it from on this results page detailing that the InPin is generally regarded as the best one for lagless enjoyment. This article from EVO also recommends the InPin and also reminds players that wireless controllers are banned at major events. Additionally, I know that you could probably ask any of the modding community to create you a controller that does what you want.

4. Apparently you get really upset when someone off-handedly and indirectly declares your behavior to be similar to what scrubs do, to refute your point. Others do get tired of your comments, we're just bros and hope you stop.

Misc: I don't see you playing. Can you not physically hold a controller? I found a converter that sources indicate is wonderful for fighters in less than the time it takes to eat a sandwich. Also, what happened to you playing on 360? I remember you being on xboxlive a few times in the early days when you were much cheerier and not as angry constantly. Over a buddy's house or borrowed?

SO you're going to buy me a fightstick? You going to buy me a 360 copy? No I don't think so. Now unless I get money for extra shit i've got to stick with what I got. Unless someone wants to give me something....No I don't think so

"I'm going to disregard your comment by victimizing myself." is what I see here.

To clarify, I never brought up your skill level. I'm only bringing up your actions and your current credibility to smacktalk. If you need help on getting a converter, you can always ask ol' Milln. I love helping everyone out and would easily go halfsies with you.

I'm a tad bit confused by this statement....isn't smack talk part of the fighting game world? When I was a lad, my father used to play Mortal Kombat with me. When I used to Kill him ever so harshly, I would then say, " Get off my Sega and go make me a bowl of cereal Foo!" My dad would talk crap to my mom if he beat her in Madden 98. My tutor used to talk crap about how I'd never beat his score in Doom. Honestly, if you can't take talk smack in video games.....you shouldn't play them...

[LastStarSaviour]

The 360 copy I had was a friend's. He was around every once in a while so I got to use it then but he moved out. I have been trying to get another but...as poor as this sounds, I really just don't have the money for another one (stay a poor black man forever Star). Also, if you want someone to stop doing something, do what Naimat did and just say "Shut the fuck up." I promise you it works every time. Enough of this though, the story is out-dated and uninteresting. I'm mad, you guys glad. Let's leave it at that, i'll stop the trolling as best I can.

That's not what I was saying.

Addendum to an above post of mine: I'm a dumbass and found ps2 to ps3 converters. However, at the bottom of the merchandise site, there is a ps2 to 360 converter.

[Vocal Sabre]

Oh? Then I apologize. Sometimes I get ahead of myself

[LastStarSaviour]

If you need help on getting a converter, you can always ask ol' Milln. I love helping everyone out and would easily go halfsies with you.

Milln, this will never happen. Asking someone for help buying something is an absolutely impossibility.

[Seiki]

Everybody go the fuck to sleep. Seriously. Ya'll can talk bout it tomm. like gentlemen but on the realz Star the tourny is just an incentive to make everyone get better and the money is just to reward the person who deserves the work they put in to the game. It doesn't prove anything else, so idk why you don't just enter for the hell of it. Idk if there is some pride involved or w/e reason there is no excuse to not enter...unless you don't has moneyz but being out of practice is no excuse. The majority of us still enter and we are out of shape. Even if you can't play at your best because of controller issues you can still test skills outside of execution. Your yomi and pressure can still be used to win matches and to be honest the fact that you are limited in not being able to do those high execution combos puts a bigger emphasis in using mindgames to compensate for lost damage which in turn can make you a better player.

There is always a positive side to everything. Even the holocaust. You need to think of a problem as an opportunity to learn from. Now go the fuck to sleep.

[Jackie Chandler]

if you want someone to stop doing something, do what Naimat did and just say "Shut the fuck up."

Everybody go the fuck to sleep.

And then the thread was silent, haha. Damn, I really picked a bad time to go to sleep though. I thought I was seeing things when I woke up and saw the thread increased two more pages in eight hours.

I don't want you to feel like you're being ganged up on Star, but I *personally* think you need to sit down and think about what it is you want. You seem very fickle to me, but I think that's partially because you decide on things before you think about them from the other side of the spectrum. I apologize if I'm wrong. You just have to understand what it's like for us, from the outside looking in- you tell us how free we are, then don't give anyone a chance to play against you- you find a converter, then you don't- you're hype, then you're not. No matter what it boils down to, the fact of the matter is that you've been sending us mixed messages, and it hasn't been in the most neutral of manners as of late.

I don't mind if you insult me, as long as it's just me. When you talk shit about the community and you're clearly not messing around, you've gone too far. If you'd tried to stay in touch with the community, you'd know how legit everyone is now. Papstr and Pickle both have Ragna's combos down pat (which honestly scares the shit out of me, haha). Volpe beat me in the tournament before last, and that wasn't without reason. Milln knows his shit about Jin and Ragna, AND he's still learning Hazama from what I understand. Doromac plays a solid and unique Valk. Naimat's been improving his already-gawdlike Bang. Astaroth's Astaroth. And that's not even everyone. On top of that, we've got competition from Memphis coming out, and I'm bringing a couple MTNewbies from Cookeville up today. The competition has never been more fierce, or more prominent.

If you want to compete, Star, compete. This isn't the difference between using a Stick and a Pad- it's the difference between using Pad A and Pad B, or getting a converter. If you don't want to compete, don't- just don't think that gives you an excuse to undermine other players' hard work.

I'll be heading out within the hour. I'm looking forward to seeing you all there in the new retro museum. :D And after that- competitive Apples to Apples wherever we go eat! Even Naimat condones it. :3

[LastStarSaviour]

Soooo, no more trolling? Up til now it's been my reason for existing. Also, I still won't be entering today regardless (if I can't play Noel it's a no-go). I'll still watch you guys from viewer's seats however. *Needs picture of Rachel sitting in cat chair* lol

Anyways, i've gotten a good night's sleep and i'm ready for more troll- oh yeah, that's what got me into this gang-rape festival.

Also, i'll make sure from now on I express my rage fully and without wavering. *Nigga rage activate*

See you all in a bit *trollface*

The desperate quest for a pawn shop continues. . .

[Grimstar]

The fuck... it's been like 5 pages since my last post already. Who was rapid fire posting? There's no way there were more than like 3 people posting

[Milln]

Grim, we'll see you in January.

@everyone else: been hype and able to not be hampered by my recovering back and hamstrings too much for like thirteen hours straight. Jackie called it, there was an upset. I am totally laying down and resting.

[Klein]

Enjoy your rest, you earned it. And look forward to working double-time next year, right?

[LastStarSaviour]

Guess i'll go ahead and do the shout-outs this time, lawl:

Milln- Props to one full year of MTN. No one really talked about it but I think it's something special so i'm mentioning it, thanks for trying to keep things hype and all that good jazz.

Jackie- Congrats on taking first place man. Astaroth was so salty he went and found himself a money match. I was rooting for Volpe to take the win but seeing him get bodied 6-0 was kinda funny. Keep doing what you do and what-not. Also, I feel really goofy about my answers I gave.

Astaroth- You had a long day at work today. Too bad you got no pay for the hours you put in today, rofl. But nah, in all seriousness every match was hype as hell and I did make a few mistakes which costed me games. This will not happen again once I have a solid converter i'm comfortable with.

Naimat- I'm upset we never got any casuals in. Hopefully if you're available we can chill sometime. It was cool commentating with you and you were hilarious at dinner. Also, good luck converting to Jin fully.

Tad- As always, you're the man. I didn't get to really play or interact with you at all.

Doromac- Playing BB, boy? I feel ya when you find it hard to pick up another game when you're stuck on the one you love currently. That's how I am with BB and I doubt this will change anytime soon. Keep loving Marvel but just try to give BB a few minutes of your time if possible. Thanks for the talks and walking around with me.

Volpe- AND THE CROWD GOES WILD!! I could've sworn that I predicted that you would do really well today, glad something I predicted turned out to be right.

Vocal Sabre- Thanks for coming up and hanging out with everyone. Even though you haven't been practicing that much I saw some funny gimmicks from your Tager. Just train with Volpe and i'm sure you'll keep improving.

AzurePhoenix- Thanks for coming out and supporting the scene. Also, thanks for letting me borrow that converter which let me get a few matches in in the tournament. Sorry if I was bugging you man, come back again and show off that Platinum. MTN needs more players and characters.

New guys who were with Jackie- Thanks for hanging out and playing the BlazBlue with us. Don't know how deep any of you are into the game but keep coming back and i'll along with everyone else help you get legit.

Klein- So friggin quiet...

Papstr- Hmmmm....

My Petra brother- Dude it's been so long I honestly forgot about ya. I apologise and am sad about Arcana Heart dying off so fast.

All in all this MTN proved to be...amusing. I wanna go ahead and say my apologies for the trolling i've been doing for the past few (have no idea how long i've been doing it now). From what I saw today MTN seems to be evolving a bit, it's a slow process but it's definitely visible. I'll be doing my part to see to it that it stays on this path no matter the cost from now on. With that statement i'll be reverting back to my older self, one less salty and free of any type of rage. It's weird to say but I think i'm actually looking forward to next MTN.

I think you figured it out today, B. We are friends that play games. We are community. Some are stronger, some are weaker. We celebrate each others ebb and flow.

I had more fun loosing to Volpe than I did parrying Lee's attempt to chip me out today. It's a celebration, bitches!

[Astaroth136]

I'll do my shoutouts later. I just wanted to say a few things. Chandler did indeed get three of four perfects on me in losers finals, yet the set was still 3-2.

Tad is the ONLY person I've seen to fully parry Hugo's Hammer Mountain (haven't even seen the Japanese do it yet in a real match).

Volpe showed you all how to level up.

Aaaaaand, don't forget, I'm offering to run a November tournament if Jason doesn't already have one planned.

[Volpe-de-Glacio]

Had a lot of fun, nice games everyone.

Astaroth - That was a hype ass match, and I'm glad we got to put on a helluva show for winner's finals. Was really hoping you'd get another shot from loser's, but Jackie earned it.

Jackie - Sorry I couldn't provide a fight with hype worthy enough of Grand Finals but you showed you were ready for this more than I. Tourney nerves destroyed me, haha. Grats on taking 1st, dude. I also felt awkward as fuck for the Get Exposed interview, but I wanted to clarify: I just meant free as in we're American. Didn't want to start another shit storm.

Tad - Intense matches, as always. I was really worried when I saw I'd be fighting you, but looking back I'm glad we did. I'll never be able to improve if I just keep gunning for easy match ups, and they were fun fights. Can't wait for Guilty Conscience, man. Really looking forward to getting into Guilty Gear. (Just grabbed me a ps2 copy with the winnings. Time get on that Baiken.)

Star - Glad you're finally shedding your salty mantle. I've got to say though, man, it doesn't seem like you'll be getting your hands on a converter anytime soon. You gotta try and borrow a fight stick or something and get a 360 copy of BB (They're only like 20 bucks) so all you need at the next one is to grab someone's fight stick and go in. Still, glad you came, and I'm looking forward to fighting you on a level playing field someday.

Pickle - Hype commentary as always, haha.

Naimat - Glad you could make it to this one, dude. I think the last time I saw you compete was back when Midnight was still coming. I was dreading the thought of having to fight you, but it probably would've been good for me, lol.

Cyner - You've got a decent Haku, a lot better than mine when I was starting out. Keep on improving.

Klein - Legit Haku, only got to see a handful of your matches though.

Milln - Thanks for making all this possible, man. The free cabinets were sweet, I just wish we could spread the tvs out a bit more. It was kinda cramped and hard to watch matches over everybody's shoulders.

Papstr - The answer is ALWAYS AIDs. . .

Vocal - Thanks for driving on the way home, bro. I was getting delirious-tired, I'm sure you could tell lol.

[Mr.Pickle]

Volpe don't worry about grand finals, I know all to well how nerve racking that scenario is, in fact its exactly the same thing that happened to me in brawl+....I went all the way to winners finals and chad 6-0 me. You did really good man, you should be proud, more shoutouts later just had to get that out there lol.

[Vocal Sabre]

Don't sweat it Volpe, there's always next time Dood.
