Question, what is with all the Triforce negativity anyways?

The only thing I know about the guy, is that he lines up for any new nintendo product early.

long story short, he says he's doing things for the community, but he's out for himself. the rest of FGC gaf can fill in the details

Question, what is with all the Triforce negativity anyways?

It comes from his involvement with the fighting game community where he's most known. Below are just some examples and the last two might not be true, but rumored.


- years of stupidity and childish behavior on internet forum (Shoryuken.com)
- years of stupidity and childish behavior at fighting game events.
- King of Chinatown Doc. (on Hulu.com)
- management or lack there of Empire Arcaida
- sexist comments
- racist comments
- dumb comments (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp7AVha2Dy4)
- yells a lot and I mean a lot. (And about random shit like conspiracy theories, and etc.. This was done on twitch.tv but archives have been removed.)
- *allegedly* dick pics
- *allegedly* rape stories

Thanks for the reply guys. Interesting had no idea the dude was part of fighting game communities. Though he only played nintendo games or something lol

For years he acted as "manager" for top players like Justin Wong and Yipes. Supposedly he took a large portion of their tournament winnings for himself.

...and I sound like a broken record, but I'm still surprised he's a Nintendo fan despite being part of the FGC, particularly the Shoryuken type.

 

[Kadey]

All these times he meets with Reggie. Reggie smiles, shakes his hand, chat about certain things but deep down inside he's laughing at him and thinks he's crazy for wasting all that time.

And despite him getting rid of archives of his stream, I still recorded a few sessions of it where he says some pretty ridiculous things. He's no doubt entertaining at times because some of his logic doesn't really make sense if you are aware of the subject.

I don't think they like him either.

Do you have the post Evo stream? That was fantastic. I stayed up until like 3am watching him being a dumbass and I don't regret it.

"Go get high, rob a bank"

Next person that gets caught robbing a bank should put the blame on Triforce.

 

[The Faceless Master]

Someone who got a WiiU early should bring it by and offer to sell it to Triforce.

with no Reggie and no cameras? what would be the point?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Does Reggie just shake the first guy's hand then says fuck you to the rest of the people in line and leaves?

What does he say that's ridiculous?

 

[RPG Wizard]

Reggie just dropped by the line. Triforce went home to sleep or something. Reggie made fun of that.

I am amused.

Take his spot dude.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Take his spot dude.

Jago's probably holding his spot.

 

[MidnightScott]

Just someone seeking fame, nothing new move along. I will get my Wii U on Sunday and enjoy it for what it is, not just so I can say that I am "first."

 

[RPG Wizard]

Take his spot dude.

He's already got a wristband unfortunately, so that's not an option.

 

[Slayven]

I accidentally saw his penis.

How's the line right now? Has it gone past the corner with the 47-50 St train station yet?

 

[RPG Wizard]

Not even close. Even counting sleepers who left, and that we're packed together, it's maybe 60 people and probably nearing the parking lot driveway.

Ahhh, that's reassuring. See you guys tomorrow morning.

NYC Wii U GAF meet!

Oh, apparently Reggie is planning to come by at 3 pm. So be there by then.

Cut his wrist off. There's always options.

 

[RPG Wizard]

I don't think I can get through the power glove. It's so bad.

 

[Goodacre0081]

I can understand this dudes enthusiasm but is the concept of time zones totally lost on this guy?

 

[WesternHeretic]

accidentally

It was an accident. I remember the thread too. I think it was a tournament result thread. So of course I was curious as to who won MVC2 clicked on the thread and BAM a fucking penis on my screen. =(

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Isn't the thing coming out first in uhmerica?

 

[Goodacre0081]

Isn't the thing coming out first in uhmerica?

is this not a worldwide release?

either way some newfie might beat him by an hour

So I guess those dick pics are more than just alleged huh

 

[Medalion]

Where IS Triforce?

 

[WesternHeretic]

Well it didn't show his face... so it could have been someone else. But if you must know it was basically a dick and you can see the EMP trophies on the side... so it must have been someone with access to the Empire house.

Was it big or small ?

It was all a misunderstanding. He had been asked for a photo of Triforce Johnson.

I wouldn't say "is just". He's in it for the publicity and interviews too. Absolutely loves attention in any form, as far as I can tell. Probably loves that a 12 page thread dedicated to him exists as well, because as far as he's concerned, no publicity is bad publicity.

Or so I surmise from my few interactions with him.

I remember on one of his streams he gave out his skype id for stream monsters to call in, one calls in, yells "FUCK YOU TRIFORCE!" and hangs up.

His reaction? "I respect that."

"TRIFORCE MOD ME NOW"

If true, I respect that.

[Threi]

"TRIFORCE MOD ME NOW"

Ah yes...when he gave out temp mods for donations, and as soon as the guy got modded the stream chat started spamming "<message deleted>"

Triforce genuinely believed that the guy was abusing his power and it took one of his friends calling in to tell him that he got trolled.

Triforce and FGC stream monsters have an...interesting relationship.

 

[The Faceless Master]

so are we gonna get a live stream? where's sp00ky?

 

[Parallax Scroll]

i guess he has it now

 

[CadetMahoney]

Where IS Triforce?

he's with his wii, so he's probably playing with himself.

 

[Parallax Scroll]

hope it was worth the wait

 

[Spazznid]

.

how the FUCK?> shipped?

 

[TheOGB]

bravo

 

[The Faceless Master]

he did it again!?

edit: bonus footage of Reggie asking the people in line for Triforce

I walked the line with the Nintendo boss and GTTV's Geoff Keighley. Reggie bantered with fans, took requests and helped us hunt for elusive Triforce Johnson, the supposed lead person on line to pick up a Wii U. (He wasn't there!)

[Chindogg]

While Triforce was spending his time in line, The Arc 2 fell behind on its power bill. Six members of the Empire are currently in hospitals for hypothermia. They were treated with Capri Sun and Chef Boyardee Ravioli.

 

[Anth0ny]

and now he's going to go home

to play new super mario bros and nintendo land

>_>
