We have a h8r
Had an awesome time. Good shit to everyody that came out, and @RetroStation and @DaiAndOh for making all of this possible.
I should really ask him about that converter. Something like that would have made my losses a lot less soul crushing.So that was fun. Dunno if I'll go to another one, cause driving out that far across all those highways did a number on me, but I enjoyed it.
Major props to @dekillsage for lending me his converter for like 90% of my matches, even the one vs him.
Also, @mcpeanuts said on stream that I'm from Philly. I was born there, but haven't lived there since I was like 12. Currently I'm living in the middle of some forest two hours north of Philly.
Consider me there. I just gotta get there a little earlier next time for more casuals action.For people who want to watch SG top 8, here it is: http://www.twitch.tv/nycfurby/b/513352267?t=109m30s
Also, thanks to everyone who showed up! We had the second-largest turnout today!
Guilty Gear - 24
Skullgirls - 20
BlazBlue - 16
KOF - 9 (This actually ALMOST didn't happen because late people)
Special shoutout to @Lethalmind for that hype victory over @mcpeanuts (Won't spoil the details; watch the damn VOD)
Also, shoutouts to @WarpedEcho and Peanuts for commentary (and for letting me have a shot at it)
The next TSB Saturday is April 12th, so if we can get the usual people (8 minimum), we'll have some space there. I only hope that this turnout is a good indicator of how things are gonna be down the road. I had my fair share of salt with you guys, but after setting that aside, I realize that you guys are fucking awesome, and I'd be glad to see you guys again... Especially @Broseidon Rex with his Salty Umbrella mask.
PS. Fuck you Peanuts, you Peacock-using scrub.
Let me see if I can talk to Dai about that. Hang on.
When it comes to situations like this, sometimes it's simply better to focus and be patient. It's a matter of perception, so if you had to choose, would you rather everyone know ahead of time that SG will be taking the date off, or would you rather they know there's going to be a SG tournament, and then nobody shows up?I spoke to Dai, and apparently a majority of the TSB playerbase is going to CV, and Arturo won't even be streaming. However, it's also St1ckbug's birthday, so I guess Dai chose that date accordingly. If we can step up and still show decent numbers, both at TSB and Civil War, then awesome. Even better if we can somehow help set a stream up for TSB. But if a bunch of y'all are going to CV, then Dai understands; we can always try for May.
I was actually just about to post about what I said earlier. I misunderstood Dai when he told me that a majority of the playerbase wasn't going. He meant that they weren't going to Civil War. With that in mind, I apologize for the misunderstanding.When it comes to situations like this, sometimes it's simply better to focus and be patient.

What I'm saying is, if they know it's gonna be a ghost town, maybe don't push that day to be a big skull day.
If there's another one with a lot of guaranteed people I'll be willing to go. I know that sounds hypocritical, but it really *was* a long trip for one day, and I'm not willing to stay over night for something like this. It'd have a few more hours away to make any sort of hotel costs or whatever feel justified (and discomfort costs since I HATE not sleeping in my own bed.)

(You guys should consider coming to one of our monthlies in Massachusetts *wink wink nudge nudge*)
Yeah, doing well/making Top 8 would be nice. Despite my ass getting handed to me, I enjoyed myself... Especially since the SG crowd doesn't exhibit typical FGC behavior (for the most part). No excessive shit talk, and no broken sticks, either :DHonestly, I wonder if I'm anywhere near ready to actually compete at any level that can justify a long trip like that. I mean, if I were any good, sure, but I get bodied left and right. This is all just self-loathing and me crying in a corner at my own inadequacies, but yea I'd be willing to give it a shot and make a mini-road trip out of a weekend.
They're always Saturdays, our next one is April 5th, but it doesn't look like we'll have too many attendants for Skullgilrs at this one, so I wouldn't suggest going to it. At most we've had 12 people show up, it's usually around 5-8 people though
It is impossible to not say some stupid shit on stream at least a few times when doing commentary. I didn't notice Sage was using his bullshit Excellabella team until a full game happened, for example.Yea, I def had a lot of fun! Sorry for calling @Lethalmind Killjoy like 4 times on stream haha, I don't know what got into me considering I called you by the right handle initially.
Except @ShadeMoneh , that guy sucks :J
