This guy has been talking for nearly 9 hours. -=jumps off cliff=-
Wait he's been talking ever since Joe's stream? HOLY SHIT.
Fanatiq switched to MSS and is doing pretty darn well against Knives. I think Ray Ray is in trouble...
Damn, Joe's alarm clock scared the hell out of me. I completely forgot I had his stream open. That was a godlike alarm though, first I've heard of it.
Maxmillion has calm down Triforce. Holy shit... so Max was the answer all along to make this guy sound/act like a reasonable human being.
I just woke up and I see all of this...You people go so apeshit over this nonsense that I forget to check out Ultrachen until it's already over.
I'm surprised that you never learned this concept in the MahvelGAF threads. Everything is an option select in there.Speak for yourself bro. I think they offer a valuable service; not everyone is up to date on FGC terminology and lingo. I had no idea what an option-select was till tonight despite hearing the term all the time (I still don't totally get it so I'm going to go back and watch the rest of the episode when I have time). However, I heard Triforce was on and the man is entertaining as hell to listen to. Insane and clueless but oh so funny.
wutTriforce basically just said "Daigo's not a good Street Fighter player, but a Street Fighter champion."
Okay, this is fucking hilarious.Triforce: Perception is reality.
Fanatiq: Didn't people used to perceive the world was flat?
Triforce: Yes
Fanatiq: Is the world flat or round?
Triforce: Round.
Fanatiq: So was perception reality?
Triforce: uhmm but you see uhgmm....
Fanatiq v RayRay gonna be good. I got money on Fanatiq.
BTW, Knives got announced for S.S.

That's great. Really. I'm not going to take that away from him.
I was hasty in calling him a piece of shit.
That's on me.
But dude, come on. Don't act like you're the greatest living being walking the earth. He rants on and on and on about the sheer disdain he has for the FGC. I just...
my mind is full of fuck, you guys. I can't stop taking him seriously.
Help me.
edit: Alright, real question. Triforce keeps going on and on about all the stuff EMP does outside of the FGC? Does anyone know what he's talking about? All I'm hearing are empty promises. Reading the EMP website is amounting to just generic mission statements?
So Spookes is going to retire after Evo? Did he give a reason?
don't take it seriously because he's delusional. i think something is pretty wrong with him. Whether it's a disorder or he's just too damn arrogant or slow, it's to the point where I can't really find it that funny. I'm not sure why people even engage him...I guess he sort of resurfaced this year and people are finishing up old history with him? I don't know.
And no, he doesn't actually do anything, he uses double speak and vague declarations to make EMP sound way more important than it is. I think it's really one of those "spiritual" sponsors like DMG, that doesn't really have money but is a supportive group of players. Which is totally okay, until you start talking like you're running a business with a high rise on 5th avenue and talk about "the fighting game division" and talking about making business deals and "in talks with sponsors" and taking shots at all the established FGC groups and all this crap. If he'd just be humble and say "we used to be great, but it's not that big anymore, we gotta build it up again" then everything would be okay.
unfortunately, he's totally stuck in the glory days, which is the saddest thing ever.
not retiring, just chilling out. He said in the chat it was a ton of work, the travel was tiring, he wasn't having fun at tourneys anymore because he was behind a PC the whole time. Sounds like no more regional major type stuff, but still doing Big 2 and the like.
Gonna quote it because its true. Most tournament organizers take Spooky's work for granted.Spooks needs to be paid more so he can hire some people to help him. Too bad people are taking advantage of the fact that he's doing it "for the love of the community". Looking at you Ponder.
For those who want to hear some history about Australia's fighting game scene, check out this pod cast.I found it pretty entertaining as they outline how they built there community and the rivalry between Sydney and Melbourne.

Or if you just want to hear a short story about more of Triforce's delusions, skip to the 33rd minute.
on the whole triforce thing...whether or not he brought it on himself (which he did), having any conversation wind up you having to defend yourself for 10 years straight can definitely get to anyone. i can understand the pent-up anger. and like it was said outside of his tendency to not keep his mouth shut he does seem like a genuine guy. he just has grand aspirations with no real gameplan.
Wait KVO is this weekend too?
lol did you read the OP?
not gonna listen to a podcast, so tell me what it's about please

Dang.

Along with the Steve/Dudley Vid, I've got one for Jin/Ryu too. It's not as refined though, as it was made in like an hour to showcase some BnBs and stuff...here's both.

"Is Mahvel Baybee" is the correct meme (not it's)
