What is this blasphemy pho is delicious.

Hot dog. Sounds good to me.

Sounds a lot like "I only lost because I have a life." Everyone else cares about other stuff too. I severely doubt anyone entering would describe Fighting Games as the most important thing in the world to them. It's a game, we're having a tournament. It's cheap. You should enter. I'm sure you're a great guy, just a little confused. I'm not sure I even understand this statement grammatically, let alone semantically. Not in fighting games.

If it wasn't clear from what I said earlier: This is both a dirty lie you're telling yourself and a reason tournaments die. You're not being tactical or logical, because you are not risking life or limb. I definitely agree that you should duck fights you can't win if you will be killed or maimed for losing... but these aren't fights, that is the wrong analogy. This is a game, and you are ducking out of it because you're afraid you won't win. This is a ridiculous way to play games, because the nature of games is that you will never get better without losing. If enough people duck out of the game, no one can play the game. And in case you're wondering, I mean tournaments specifically, not merely the fighting games in question. Tournaments are what keep the scene alive, and people who think like that are what keep tournaments dead. So you can claim whatever intellectual high ground you want to claim, but ultimately the words fall flat in the face of people who know better. So anyway, 5v5 stuff: Can I be on the NorCal team or what? Sure, I'm from a bit norther-cal than the rest of you, but I figure I can play GG pretty well.

Do I need to sign up for the con to get in to the tournament?

Okay, so the sarcastic humor approach didn't convey it well enough, so I'm going to try to put this into as clear terms as possible: 1. Most people who enter a tournament won't win it. Only one person will. But what's more, not even the majority stand a chance. There are always players who haven't been around as long, and they probably won't win. But if they play, and pay attention, they will probably get better. 2. Most good players are only at their best when playing for stakes. If you don't ever enter tournaments or money matches, you will probably not get as good as the players who have. 3. People who don't enter tournaments because they think they will lose kill tournaments. It's a mentality that's one hundred percent cancerous to the scene and just destroys competition. If you can't enter because you genuinely don't want to play the game, or have other commitments, that's fine. But if you are seriously not going to enter because you know you won't win, then you, personally, are part of the cancer on the fighting game community.

The raffle prize is so amazing, you'd be a fool to give up the chance at it. Also, people who don't enter tournaments because they think they'll lose will suck at everything forever and are terrible people. Seriously, look it up.

I'll fight someone in NorCal for their 5v5 spot. Thinkin' YaR or Tenkai, specifically. Also, did I hear GG casuals at Rod's place with SoCal? Because I'm pretty sure that's what I heard.

A'ight. FT5 $30 it is. No dirty tricks like blocking.

Oh also: I'm about to pre-reg. Will anyone pay for me to enter BB, or should I not bother?

Hey Hellmonkey I think I owe you a moneymatch from Evo. Am I mistaken?

The move can be held down to rise higher up before falling, and additionally can be controlled with "left" and "right" while up there.

I've got a car if you need a ride.

Hey guys. Probably gonna make this one. Anyone there who can take a couchsurfer for say... a week before the tournament?

It's almost always better to get as few 2S/6Ks in as possible. If you can avoid the 6K entirely, do it. Also, pro tip: You almost never will have to do more than one 5P or 6K, and one 2S. If you are, you're probably doing it wrong. HOWEVER: I use multiple 2S/6Ks to bait techs.

Looks a lot like the Last.FM Favicon

Do it!

Damn son. PNW represent. Sucks about GG though.

I write about two OSes for Burst in my bursting article. Throw OS like Qwerty says Airthrow OS (j.4[H]~D~P) And then character-specific stuff.

Aye. If there were any way at all I could make it, I would, but feel free to hunt me down and play me for money at any time.

Well, due to not having a job over the summer, I probably won't be making Evo this year. Sorry guys. All money matches I've agreed to in this thread still hold if we happen to be in the same place at the same time, but I can't afford plane tickets/hotel money to get to vegas

Sounds kind of like a terrible idea. I'll get back to you on that.
