Chris G raw tag into Doom against F.Champ was way worst
Yeah. From what several players are saying it seems he's not really into it. That could be his downfall. Between him and Champ, they both have problems. Champ doesn't look so healthy lately. Guy doesn't eat or sleep good the last week or so. Training 24/7 is a good thing but you have to take care of yourself first.

Just wanted to mention that my plane is about to leave for Vegas and hopefully I'll get to see some of you there.
Unless the hotel has free wifi I dont think you'll see me much here until next week.

Money for smeddywicks if he beats Chris G? I'm game for that. Smeddy, i'll PM you a $50 amazon gift code if you beat him.

While these were both bad, Viscant's was worse. ChrisG tried to do new tech and failed, and I can respect that. Viscant was just doing a bnb. Plus losing Dark Phoenix is far more depressing than losing a character that has like 20% health left (IIRC).
Motel 6 has free wifi, and I only paid $50 to stay there. Any hotel that doesn't offer it is pure garbage.

Ok, ok.
If I win, I get paid, if I lose, then, well, nothing because I lost to the best in the world just like everyone else does.

This guy.
You sent it to me yourself and I promptly erased it as soon as I realized what it was. Why would you even send those videos out anyway.

Haha, since I'm staying at the Paris they better have it in that case :v
Those are just funny ones. They were meant to be funny. Can't really talk about the others.

If my matches with FSLink last night are any indication, y'all should've started charging when CEO ended, lol.
I didn't do *too* bad.
And I really hope my match ends up on stream so y'all can point and laugh at my mid tier team.
Pool K13, 2 pm on Saturday, good sir.

Uh-huh.
Anyway, don't post pictures of folks without asking them. Even if I'm on stream, doesn't mean you get to post it willy-nilly. You wouldn't want folks to post your picture without permission, right?
Also damn airport internet. At least it's time to board my flight to Vegas.

but I heard kadey was a fair asian/white princess that is just waiting for a prince to come along. Are you saying we'll never see her?
What you did by posting Sherry's personal business was pretty low.
Good luck!
It would be the greatest thing ever if the GAFers in attendence were able to assemble behind Smedwicks and cheer him on and heckle ChrisG. On stream.

I wasn't trying to blow up sherry. I actually like her. Somebody asked about it and I just linked it in email tag. Yeah I made a mistake, i'll own that up. I took it down pretty quick once I realize how stupid it was for me to do it.
People make mistakes.

Wait...the event is being held at Ballys? Da fuck am I staying at Paris for?
SloaneRisette

They're connected, basically.
If I'm correct (since I'm not there yet), then the ballroom's will be in the Paris, but one of them is the Bally's ballroom, or something.
Catch your own cab, chase down Keits, and demand to know why Injustice finals were at nine, obviously.
All I know is that some many people are angry about the Noel incident with various reasonings. Some are saying he has trashy friends who aren't true friends because they aren't doing anything to help him get out. Others are saying his incident is putting the FGC in a light it shouldn't be in. Etc, etc, etc.

any fights going down today? heard something about a KOF 5v5 but that's it.
probably the +720p setting for paid.

Is there a particular story to this? Why would the guy who looks to have the highest chance of taking the biggest Marvel tournament there is not be really into it?

He sees it that he has nothing to gain. To him if he loses, he gets blown up. If he wins, he was expected to win.
So the risk/reward to him isn't worth it.

If he crashes out of EVO everyone will celebrate and call him a fraud despite how he has done nothing to deserve his hate, if he wins no one will give him the respect he deserves and accuse him of killing UMvC3. He's not FChamp, he obviously doesn't enjoy playing the heel.
He doesn't like being the heel of the Marvel community.
He is not too fond of the payout of EVO.
He doesn't like people blowing up his losses yet ignoring all his wins because it's "expected".
He feels the game will "die out" if he wins EVO because of his team and playstyle. He thinks people don't like that sort of stuff and it will put off people from the game resulting in less people competing and less money in the pot.
And finally he does not feel having an EVO title is that big of a deal.

Just wander up and down the Strip, check out the major hotel lobbies, etc. There are some pretty amazing sights to see.
If it's too hot out there, maybe check out Hitbox Arcade early?

Being good in video games is a lot less valuable of a talent than you think......

I can respect this, actually. Chris really doesn't have anything to prove.

fuckin' called it, man
Well his fans do the opposite
Wow. This whole Chris G business is a totally cop-out. People expect for him to win? Yeah, thanks to his performance all year. It's what happens when you achieve greatness at something. Slinking away from the biggest chance to cement your dominance is just grossly disappointing, I think.
If he doesn't compete in EVO, whoever wins will have to deal with, "Well, they wouldn't have won if Chris G had been there." That's a bunch of bullshit. He competes in all of these local (national) tournaments and cleans house, but he doesn't want to test his skills in the biggest international tournament around? It's cowardice, plain and simple.
This decision will make him seem like a bigger heel than simply winning (or losing) ever could. What an asshole.
