I just talked to the hotel and they said to use the shuttle service called "Showtime" which is apparently at door 13 around the baggage claim area in the airport. They said for getting back to the airport, that you should get a card from one of the drivers or number information to call one up to pick us up at the hotel at a certain time.

Oh shit son, the days are inching by. Why did I take up more hours before my vacation started? Stupid of me...

Soooooooon

Flawless thinking. I like this idea.

Yeah, they're just sly assholes is all really. I can submit my vacation time, but they don't approve it until the first of that month. So, I'll know for certain within the next couple of days if I should start planning some arson or whatnot.

I don't really play CT anymore. I'm focusing on SSF4 until CS gets released.

I'm sure I can always get 'store credit' or something for the tickets if it comes down to me getting canceled. Sadly, the higher up people in my job don't care if I have plane tickets bought or anything. If the work load for that week isn't covered, they'll cancel anyone's vacation time just to be sure work gets done. They're kind of douchebags about that, but I'm pretty sure we ought to be okay.

Hmm, lets see. I should be arriving in Vegas around 8pm if no delays. I wait around until you get there then we put shit into the hotel and explore Vegas for the night and then rock out at the tourney the next day! That is to say... if my work doesn't decide to cancel my vacation. I will rage so hard if they do when it's this close. They shouldn't though... Shouldn't =x

Under 2 weeks until EVO. Hype!

But alas, I know you're a liar. Squirrel chick, not my amazing Makoto who yells a lot and punches people's dicks.

Makoto in BBCS? I'm not sure I understand how this will work, but my reaction, if this is true, is: HOLY FUCK YES THIS IS AMAZING

Well, I can always wait around. It's Vegas afterall, I'm sure I can kill time until you get there =p I'll PM you my cell number and such so you can text/call me while we're there.

I arrive around 8 on Thursday, and leave Monday at around Noon. My dad has been to Ceaser's before, he said check out is automatic at 1pm, so there's no real concern about me staying in the room if you're leaving early Monday morning. So, do you have a facebook or anything so I know who I'm looking for when I get there? lol

Im all signed up and my tickets are bought. Shits ready to go sir

In all honesty, I don't think Makoto is actually D tier. She doesn't have a great reversal like Ryu or whatnot, but her uppercut (although 6 frame start up...) leads to a very damaging and high stun combo, it's just hard to position and use because your opponent really has to be jump happy or use a bad move that leaves them air borne. Overall, her damage isn't AMAZING, but it can be consistent. Because of her mix up options of Normals > Hayate or Hayate Feint or into her Overhead chop (Much like Hakumen here), she has a lot of options to work with in any given situation in which she's on the aggression. As for her defense, that's opponent and character specific. But she is by far the most enjoyable character of SSF4 imo. The only reason I think people labeled her D tier was because of how hard she is to actually use effectively. You have to treat her as a charge character who has a grapplers move set, or something to that extent.

Actually, it's not bothering me. Since Nu had no defense to begin with, I'm pretty comfortable handling Makoto if I'm pushed into a corner or blocking. Haku is a lot like handling Makoto. Fast dash, overheads, tricks, and a lot of little things you can use to your advantage. And it's not like I'm hiding from Shervin lol. We're always on like at polar opposite times or when I'm about to go to work or something. I got my photography homework to be doing, so I might not be practicing much until mid-week, but I'll get more matches in against him. Although I doubt EVO is going to have more than 2 or 3 Makoto total out of everyone there =p

XBL matches get boring lately. I'm practically cheesing out most of my wins with Makoto because my advanced tactics don't work against people rolling their faces on the arcade stick/360 controller. I did have some good matches with a Viper and another Makoto before though. Good stuff there. Everything else is all set though? No more worries about EVO and whatnot? I'll have everything ready tomorrow! Woop.

more like a new cakewalk for your hakumen

hm, lasers. i cant imagine them being like a huge counter hit thing, but who knows. its more like luck on that hitting you i would guess.

she looks like a zoner, sure, but as long as you can block, I don't see much a problem with her. She has to throw out the nodes, so unless they're air-unblockable they are essentially no threat, not to mention I'm sure Haku can make blackholes out of them if they're considered projectiles.

they didn't seem very fast tbh. Like, 2C fast for Lambda maybe, which is very punishable on block and whatnot.

yeah, it doesnt look like they're good players anyway, so i dont know what to think. Mu looks fun though, but I bet the D nodes she has only last so long. a waiting game against her would prolly be easy.

4th person wouldn't really bother me. Can't say I'd be ecstatic about sleeping on the floor if it came to that, though.

like the 6B > 236A > 6C? Use 236A > 623A > 2C > j2C thing instead. saves you 3 stars for same dmg?

Also, yea, I watched all your new videos. Use TK Firefly more. Like 2A 2A Dash Firefly. Shits safe and prevents them from doing anything for the most part.
