Me vs. Kula at The KOF Cup 2011:

Hindsight 20/20 is a beautiful thing isnt it?

I'm gonna keep this simple and to the point, I know more than you about this game.

I like my odds 40-0 vs. you in this game. I will be in Minnesota in 2 weeks, why don't you come up there so I can have the pleasure of educating you in this game eh?

I know for a certain you won't beat me nor will you beat Kula.

Hindsight 20/20 is a beautiful thing.

Word of caution to all:

Before you think of criticizing someone as if you could do better, please make sure you actually can!!!

Again Necro, you won't beat me nor will you do any better (certainly not against Kula).

If you cannot handle Dojo Destroyer, Justin Wong, or anyone at Powerup, do not even think for a split second you would stand a remote prayer against me for money...


Again if you come to Minnesota around the 19-22 (contact Desmond), I will play you in a FT20 FOR FREE....  And you will lose...and I will record it then we can all dissect those results...

So in other words this discussion would've taken a different turn had you not said what you said about wishing you had money to play me, because again, you can't even handle your own state and your own area, so you certainly won't be able to handle me.


I=better than Justin Wong by leagues in 98UM and Justin knows this...

But if you think so again, that is when I will be in Minnesota, I will be more than happy to "educate you" and hope others with "Hindsight 20/20" take full notice of these types of things.

I am going to make a topic thread about Hindsight 20/20 and fighting games..

http://dreamcancel.com/forum/index.php?topic=798.msg13834#msg13834

There it is please comment because again this is a troubling trend I have been seeing that I feel needs to be addressed...

Now so as to not derail this thread, if you are serious about setting this up Necro, you will contact Desmond and he will in turn contact me.

If not then please make sure your criticism is constructive and does not fall into this

"Hindsight 20/20" which to me is DESTRUCTIVE.

What up Desmond? Anyway I won't play you in UM seriously, that game is a fucking scrub game for real. My friend is a button masher and he randomly beats me on occasion. When we play original 98 he has no fucking chance.

I told you before, I didn't even understand the game fully at raging storm Ohio dude. Laughs at you knowing more about the game than I do. Anyway I don't even drive but I'll try to make it to Minnesota.

Okay hopefully see you then, and hopefully we are at some point of understanding....

Ever thought maybe you should? At first I didn't like UM at all, but after understanding it, I'd rather play it than 98 anyday.

I ain't gonna lie, it is a LITTLE SCRUBBY thanks to Krauser, Geese, Eiji, etc. but they can beaten.

Also, this thread is getting a little off topic, so maybe we can move this discussion elsewhere?

[Dojo Destroyer]

Btw Dark Geese, since you're coming to Minnesota soon, what's up with that MM between you and DirtyWerk???

I'd be more than happy to tear him a new you know what at Desmond's FOR FREE just to squash it and let bygones be bygones....but that's his call..



Good to see you here...hopefully we can catch up in 2 weeks!!!

And hey let's move this to the Minnesota thread (is there one)?

[sibarraz]

Wow, that's a very confusing ratio list. I love how Brian is at the top, middle and bottom depending on the system. Sad to see Terry so low.

But overall it's looking like a really balanced game. And am I just out of the loop, or is this the first big UMFE tournament? I'm surprised the ratio system is already so fleshed out. I'm probably just out of the loop.

For those interested, the videos were also posted to youtube by SMOAI.

[MAASKYO]

what exactly the ratio system here is it like cvs1 ..?? or free like cvs2..??

[Rex Dart]

It's simply a style of organizing tournaments. Players have to keep their team under a given number (in this case 6.5) and each character is assigned a certain value (in this case, between 3 and 1). It's up to the tourney organizers to determine which value a character gets.
