In the sneaker thread in off topic we had something like this going on.

I just wanted to drop my two cents. These are my top 5, I'm not going to do a full tier list...

Not gonna lie, I read MissHabit as MissHabibi. That Kuwait tournament is still getting to me.

Really cool that Daigo, Mago, and Tokido are going to be there though!

Mago and Daigo have the most anime names ever.
 
Question for the ex-sneaker heads.

When did you guys stop caring?

I used to be really into it, buying alot stuff, always looking. One day like 5 years ago I stopped giving a fuck. It was weird. I can't pinpoint why really. I sold alot or gave them to salvation army.

Just have a couple pairs I rotate now (my damn sweaty feet).

At that same time, I got sick of all of my video/dvd/CD packaging as well. I used to obsess and keep everything organized. I then threw all my game/dvd cases away and threw everything into CD binders.

When I get games now, I open them, put the disk in the CD binder and toss the case away immediately.

I used to have a alot (for me) of arcade sticks. Like 11. I sold them all off as well. I just have 2 sticks now, my big home one, and the one I take to gatherings.

I generally hate having alot of stuff nowadays.

I still have all my LOTR EE packaging though, hehe.

I'm a poverty monster, I never really got started although I keep like 2 or 3 babies in the closest thing to cold storage near me. I kinda stopped following things (hence me missing out of Chicago 10s and a bunch of 11s yesteryear) because more pressing things demanded my continued attention and funding. Stupid college.

I didn't know that shoes were ever a thing for dudes.

One casual pair, one dress pair. Wear 'em til they fall apart.

I was into it all my life, then around 2001 - 2005 I stopped caring really. My daughter was born in 2001 and she was my focus then... But now I'm eSports so I just get whatever I want all the while making shit happen/taking care of fam.

I just have one pair of shoes that I wear everyday, another one in case I ever need slightly nicer but not dress shoes, and then dress shoes.

Also tossing the case away? Heathen.

Although I keep all my cases, half the discs are in the wrong case anyways.
 
Some dudes are into it major. I had a couple co workers who would spend shit loads of money on it.

Nowadays I have a old ass pair of SB's, dress shoes, and freaking jogging shoes from costco, lol.

I give no fucks anymore, haha.

Forgot to mention, I'm hardcore about building libraries and shit, so cases, boxes, manuals, random things inside, etc. never get tossed. I have most of our family's NES games in their original boxes. The goal is to build a small arcade room in my final house/treat the games like a library-slash-museum.

Edit: While we're still on this slight tangent, I get so nostalgic for the Air Max2 94 Barkley's. Something about how the main color/Black/White works on it is just classic.

Yeah the only thing I care about is some good dress shoes, everything else I don't give a fuck about.

I'm caught in the vortex again. My collection of sneaks are 3rd behind my passion for sticks & video games. >.>

Hey Markman (or anyone else), when is NCR supposed to start? I wanna know when I can start spending the money I have saved up.

I think it starts on April 26th, Friday. Not sure when in the morning though. 3 day event!

I haven't tested any of the link cancels yet but I was thinking about some stuff. Is it possible to do a just frame link going from a lighter attack into a heavier one? (ie lp to mp or mp to hp) Wouldn't you just get a chain if you're pressing a button before the move completely recovers?
Since you're in recovery nothing would happened. If the move is link-cancelable, it would do the normal version of the "stronger" normal. Whether it combos or not depends on the frames.

I showcased a situation like this at the end with Lars LINKING cl.lp into c.mp.

Guy guys... guys

Someone just bet his fucking account that FFXIII Versus is coming to PS4.

Baller. Now that's what I am talking about.
 
If my money is lookin' right by next month, I'll definitely be at NCR.

I got two people (one on here) offering me some drinks, so I have to go!

Whatever happened to that Madcatz tourney from last years road to evo? I know it was pushed back to a later date, but is it ever gonna happen at this rate?

When they kept re-retroing everything and kept making the quality worst and worst. It was like a huge slap in the face (remember those damn flint 13's?).

Thankfully they have fixed some of those issue, but it just not the same (to me) anymore. I still get the stuff that I have always loved, but that's about it. I made my list of grails, and I went after that. Then it was time to close the book.

Sounds like a pretty safe bet. The only possibly of him losing the bet is if FFXIII Versus isn't out by the time the PS5 rolls out.

No offense but please don't if you are going to ruin the stream like you did at SCR.

You were fine at EVO for a bit but man when Im trying watch a stream and between every game I have to see you acting like a moron, it gets really, really fucking annoying.

Makes me wonder how the new kamikaze's hold up. Mine fell apart in less than a week and i have trouble imagining worse quality. Mine were just bad tho, i don't think they normally get destroyed that quickly.

Why not? No ride?

Yeah that's my problem. I would be all up and down Cali going to stuff if I had consistant rides or could drive, though Im WAY past the point of driving anything myself now. I don't trust myself behind the wheel due to physical restraints.

Not his fault the camera always zoomed in on him. Besides plenty of people were loving it to be honest. The thing he got called out for was drinking, not the fact he was acting goofy.

We should find you a Hodor. I nominate ETR.

Sony wasted some cash for all those SFxT exclusives, I think they are done showcasing fighting games for a while.
Probably wasn't that much cash. And the game did decent, it didn't do that bad. But Capcom isn't likely to mess with Sony after all they went through with SFxTK, but Namco will be.

All I know is when it is shown, if it is shown, it will likely be the game people care least about. Likely won't be a technical showcase and alongside The Last Guardian, Versus, Evolution's new racer, etc. it's gonna get pushed aside unless it has some serious flash.

Any way we could help you acquire a ride?

How much would it cost to buy a way for you to get there?
 
GAF meetup at NCR?
Sounds awesome, I'm down.

Blame the cameraman, not him.
