xyzzy

so good

I knew people were sleeping on him after he blew Flocker up in that first game

--
xyzzy

it'll be Dorm, don't worry

--
xyzzy

woo Zero is gone

--
xyzzy

I thought Wong/ChrisG couldn't be topped

jesus christ

--
xyzzy

you know, I never see Zero do well despite everyone's hype.

let's go combofiend

--
xyzzy

that was amazing.

--
xyzzy

that set was so sloppy

but MODOK

--
xyzzy

mostly, yeah. I usually stay up til 12 or so these days, but overall, yeah. we're up at 5-6am so it makes sense!

--
xyzzy

just tucked my wife in

won't be to bed for four or five more hours

let's go

--
xyzzy

is marvel all 3/5, and then what, 4/7 for finals?

--
xyzzy

I can't even call in sick because all this week off

but I will not miss my daigo

--
xyzzy

edit: Actually, that's not it, my bad. but it is awesome

--
xyzzy

KOF took 2 and a half hours

I am so ****ed tomorrow

--
xyzzy

crap, I am so up until 3am

--
xyzzy

--
xyzzy

MK9 pretty good. I hate to see people crap on it. (specially weeaboos!)

--
xyzzy

PL's seemed cool for longer than MK9's been out. dunno anything beyond that.

between this year and last, it seems like Mileena is a Kung Lao counter somehow

--
xyzzy

it peaked at 82k.

SF4 should hit 100. only problem is going to be that it'll be on at like 2am on the east coast.

--
xyzzy

anyway, this is my first exposure to the DLC characters but Kenshi seems bro-ken

--
xyzzy

SF4's about as good of a competitive fighter as we've seen. mechanics work, balance is pretty amazing, game has a lot of hype. not as much as Marvel, but there are some pretty incredible moments.

--
xyzzy

holy crap do you ever stop talking about 3s

also, are you still making fun of sf4 for option selects and then backing ST

--
xyzzy

I got into that by the end. needs to look less like a UE3 game, but yeah, that looks fun.

--
xyzzy

Injustice looks fun. for like a week. lots of fun gimmickry.

still better than Sony Allstars

--
xyzzy

compared to what just happened? pfft

--
xyzzy

shoulda been Skullgirls. oh well.

props to them for recognizing it and taking what steps it could to pretend it didn't exist. it got less screen time than ST.

--
xyzzy

crowd boos because they have to watch more

they are seriously insulting this game

--
xyzzy

it's like they're trying to make this game look as bad as possible.

--
xyzzy

we all made the same mistake yo

--
xyzzy

that was an Evo moment in and of itself

holy christ

--
xyzzy

--
xyzzy

that's just Federer though. he was never looking for the spotlight, and he really kept her out of the spotlight. he's not someone looking for a 10.

Roddick? total rock star, deserved or not.

--
xyzzy

I put Wimbledon on my wife goes 'oh THAT'S Roger Federer? ooh, I like him. why don't you grow your hair out like him?" then she asked if he was married.

Roger the best

--
xyzzy

I'm taking SC5 off just so I don't burn out before the main event. I'd like to catch MK9 but I dunno if I'll be around.

--
xyzzy

I hate how Federer is the best ever and yet he's still been cleanly beaten by Nadal in their head to heads. I don't really know how to feel about that.

awesome that Federer won another, though. felt good watching it.

--
xyzzy

yay!

xyzzy

bump

I'm late, but ST top 8 was so freaking good. we'll be lucky to get a grand final today as good as Mao vs. Kusomondo. god, Kusomondo is insanely good.

we went through about 3 topics on AE top 8 alone last year so I expect at least five topics total today

--
xyzzy

dammit

don't make me watch Marvel

--
xyzzy

this ST tournament is amazing. I totally stopped caring about Marvel with something like this going on. so many legends here, damn.

--
xyzzy

damn, that ST bracket is full of killers. holy crap. they even got Kusumondo.

wonder how many of them have played this in the last six months

--
xyzzy

you know

if they cut away from pools this wouldn't be a thing

--
xyzzy

Capcom could release this exact statement and there would be absolute hate

--
xyzzy

won the first Evo in ST, eliminated someone big yesterday in SF4, etc

oldschool

--
xyzzy

yeah, Marvel's not gonna be worth watching for about six hours except for the occasional pool final. the gap is just way too wide and it's kinda embarrassing to watch. SF4 is a lot slower and easier to grasp, plus the depth we had from Japan made it kinda insane.

sleepyface probably the best thing so far today

--
xyzzy

sf4? 2

total? who knows

--
xyzzy

aw man, Dieminion vs Gamerbee. Dieminion's gonna get blown up. Gamerbee owns him harder than Infiltration does.

shame, he's been the highlight so far. Daigo vs.Infiltration should be the de facto final though. those guys have been murderers.
