3 to one, I will get in on this action.

Ok, I'll put ten down for you.

 

[RockTurtle]

After that dinner fiasco, why would I want to bet with your ass? Get out of here with that crap.

Dahbomb is too chicken shit to actually bet with me while someone else had to step in.

He'll, and he will place higher than F.Champ

Now i have to ask again... where is all this marn faith coming from... ?

I don't remember him ranking at all these past few tournaments.

It's a deal then. Marn makes top 8 in UMVC3 I give you 30 bucks, if not I get 10.

Shake on it.

Curleh Mustache this weekend, he did pretty well, almost eliminated F.Champ

 

["God's Beard!"]

Shaken.

Ten for you as well. I think two people is good for this one, gonna save the rest of my money for top 8 battles.

 

[RockTurtle]

Marn has a dark horse Zero. He showed it off when he wailed on Killer Kai on CC last year before going to Japan.

All of the faith is coming from him going 2-3 against FChamp at Curleh.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I just figure odds on a coin flip is a reasonable bet.

 

[Dahbomb]

Marn's pretty good and he plays a cheap team which he knows how to abuse. Still though he will choke before top 8.

That same luck that happened from the no-name dude that put Chris G in losers in that tournament that I don't remember. Means nothing. Marn will not place at EVO. Too many gods there.

 

[Kadey]

I said it before. If Marn actually had the same discipline as other top players, he'd easily be the best. He has that natural execution that people wished they had, and with his way of thinking, it's hard to tell what he'll do. You don't prepare for the characters he uses, you prepare for him.

And as far as professional players go, unless they are getting a salary and it is their job, they are not a professional player. Even Daigo is not, he has a day job. I'm not too sure about the EG boys because Justin seems to have a job as well but it appears Champ really is the only legit professional player in the FGC.

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";69372696]


And who exactly is a professional fighting game player? As far as I know, only FChamp is.[/QUOTE]

Better question is, if we are using traditional definitions, who is an amateur? Guys who only go to TRB, NLBC for unpaid events and never anywhere else?

 

[Gumbie]

The only way I see ChrisG losing is if he gets caught with some Zero lightning loops. KillerKai was looking damn good at CM. Maybe Flocker catches him?

 

[Lambda Pie]

crazy prediction: F. Champ gets randomed out before top 8.

Any decent Zero player can put ChrisG in the trilogy.

 

[Ragingnight]

angelic just needs to 2-0 Chris G again ....

Angelic plz?

Not too much discipline. Marn plays like a nut, but if he's a focused nut, he's tough to beat.

Every time you say this, it makes me want to see a picture of you...

Just re-watched the set, Marn lost because he got too hype. Marn will make top 8 *crosses fingers*

That escalated quickly.jpg

Not too crazy, I made a bet that he don't make out of pools.

 

[phaonaut]

Blind bet or are there two decent players in his pool?

 

[Parallax Scroll]

Right. Marn just playing by instinct is both his biggest strength and biggest weakness.

 

[El Sloth]

Jusr shop an evil looking goatee or a snidely whiplash mustache on Marn and there you go. Shouta the "good" twin.

We don't actually look alike though someone has said I reminded them of Marn. I think it's the fat asian guy thing. Besides, we can't be twins. I'm not a total failure in everything but video games.

Anyone remember when Smedwick's pool is in marvel? I'll see if I can show up and talk some fun smack during the match to distract Chris G.

 

[ScOULaris]

I will say that when Marn's in the zone in Marvel, there's nobody else I'd rather watch. He pulls out some sick tech every time I happen to catch him on stream.

But yeah, he's kind of like Poongko in that his recklessness keeps him from being one of the absolute best. When he's on, he dominates. But when someone more methodical figures him out, he loses.

 

[Dahbomb]

I will take that bet too.

I consider the moment Poongko perfected Daigo and one of my top 10 evo moments.

I miss Poongko

Blind. I probably gonna lose but the man need to eat a king size humble pie.

 

[ScOULaris]

He'll be at EVO, won't he? I never checked. I just assumed that he would be back.

It's 2 pm, pool K13! Come by if you can Shouta, it'd be cool to meet ya too

 

[Takamura-San]

I feel that he's not doing as well compared to the competition. It may be a perception thing. I wish I followed him more closely.

 

[BadWolf]

To me it feels like he is playing a lot more cautious these days which is why I think isn't doing as well.

 

[Shouta]

I'll need a wig and lip-licking practice in that case.

Hrm, 2pm? I think my KOF13 pool is then but we will see. If my match isn't going on, I'll come by.

YOLO Dps can only do so much... at some point he was being read like a book.

I hope the guy who used spiderman is back

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Humbling Champ only makes him better....he's like a saiyan..

 

[Takamura-San]

Is champ hosting the JP players again this year?

I would like the same action in FGTV as last year.

 

[Dahbomb]

Humbling Champ only makes him better....he's like a saiyan..

No that's ChrisG and Infiltration. You can beat them once but after that they come back stronger than before and beat you badly.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I will take that bet too.

That you don't think he'll make it out?

 

[MikeBreezy92]

They all go in that category imo lol.

 

[Amakusa]

When is Maveh?

 

[Dahbomb]

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";69393586]That you don't think he'll make it out?[/QUOTE]
I think that he WILL make it out. That guy was betting against Champ making out of pools and I wanted a piece of that action.
