Chris Tartarian

Nemo later eliminated him also.

 

[16BitNova]

I have a feeling it may not be someone in the FGC stealing though. Could just be some randoms. I mean they are in a hotel with all sorts of people. Some sketchy folk may hear about a tournament with prize money and lots of expensive equipment and go for it. I'm being optimistic for the community's image here...

 

[RC]

I want momochi to take that awful ken hairstyle all the way to the finish.

Can he do something about Inflitration's "hairstyle" too?

 

[Dai101]

When Gamerbee and Nemo get on sit down for the grand final, I hope a stage light falls on both of them

You're fucked up in the head man. Really, you have fucking issues.

 

[enzo_gt]

Honestly, people shouldn't have to live in constant fear of everyone around them. Some messed up thinking.

It's not fear to treat valuable things like they are valuable. That's basic personal security and protects you from more than just other human being's intentions.

 

[Gunslinger]

Man I really want sf to crack 200k viewers. Not gonna happen I think.

 

[Nori Chan]

you mean awful outfit too

easily better than his SFV look

 

[Holy Order Sol]

Are there cameras in the toilet there? Might have footage of the thief dumping the empty bag.

 

[Omega]

shit like that isn't a good look for the scene.

If you're gonna charge $12 for non-potato quality stream you better start putting that towards real security. dudes just can't be stealing tables/money/medals and walking on stage to take selfies.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

I kinda wanna see Infiltration play a different character every round of this finals.

 

[Beelzebufo]

its not victim blaming. im tired of that being thrown around. its called common sense and not being naive. i wouldnt trust my money around a bunch of people i dont know.

You're literally blaming the victim.

I won't say it's victim blaming but if there is a sad common ocourrance of theft in a event. I would always keep my things in plain sight. But I am from the third world and have a perspectives that makes me trust very few people.

This is true, I know I've met foreigners who were very agressive and rude over simple mistakes because they thought they were being cheated. It's a different culture.

What the fuck

Maybe he means a spotlight?

 

[ultracal31]

181k at the moment so could happen

 

[Mik317]

Father Time is undefeated bro

 

[Ōkami]

Man this thread is taking a dark turn.

 

[jerry1594]

holding on to your valuables a crowded event known to have scumbag fuckers snatching shit from anyone isn't living in fear. Not blaming Neo, but everyone should know this.

 

[Ivan Amiibo]

Source messing up for anyone else?

 

[sixteen-bit]

In SF5 I hope they make the training stage unselectable in versus mode

 

[Emarv]

Melee winning this year?

I bet the SF finals may get up there. especially after a new character announcement?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Everyone was thinking it, but shouldnt say it, and shouldnt say white knight silliness either.

Did Atlus get their Vita devkit back yet? That was stolen as well.

Good gawdayum, I'd set up a camera, but that would probably be snatched as well...

 

[Cyrano]

You shouldn't have to but you need to be realistic, people are dicks

Nope, this is one of those, "if this is reality, then fuck reality" kinda situations. Also, we really shouldn't allow a few people who are terrible to define all of us. The worst of us shouldn't decide who we all are.

Neo of all people doesn't deserve this. He was gonna use that money to pay for his law school expenses. He's always nice to everyone too.

Man that's just sad.

They better find this scumbag.

 

[BadAss2961]

How much money might've been in that bag?

 

[miku]

Man this thread is taking a dark turn.

Dat salt is real

Character was already announced.

Announcement already happened. Someone linked the trailer upthread.

Cameras in the toilets? That can't be legal man.

Melee won. I hope they consider bringing it back next year.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Not sure what a thief has to do with an entire community. Thieves have been a part of humanity and always will be. A bitch thief doesn't mark an entire community of people. Really sucks for him, and hopefully some sort of in karma takes place, but that isn't a slash against FGC.

What an asshole though, good lord.

Thievery is a huge issue in the FGC. Real talk, the FGC is full of everyone from hood niggas to suburban white kids, etc. A lot of people have the, "Gotta get mine" type mentality and don't care who they fuck over to get theirs. Case in example: Neo.

 

[ironmang]

LOL

 

[Zen_Arcade]

You know what I don't care. Take care of your shit. I've gotten shit stolen from me before and I've always blamed myself for leaving myself open to it happening. The person who did this is pure scum but people need to protect their shit better. Now if he got straight up snuffed or held at gunpoint that's a different story.

Nah, that's real dumb. People shouldn't be so shitty as to randomly steal peoples stuff. People shouldn't have to worry about protecting their shit. It should be a community where people don't get their shit stolen in the first place.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Are you Donald Trump? lol

 

[Nanashrew]

Thieves are actually getting more daring at these events because many haven't been caught. That money Neo had was going towards school.

 

[Lazyslob]

You're literally blaming the victim.

this whole "victim blaming" thing is stupid. if i leave my shit unattended its my fault no matter what.

 

[ShinMaruku]

In SF5 I hope they make the training stage unselectable in versus mode

I hope they put a dummy one that does not work. So when people pick it it goes to something else.

 

[RC]

Father Time is undefeated bro

He should just shave it off at this point. Right now it's looking like he's taking styling tips from Tekken's heihachi.

 

[Rice-Eater]

Man I really want sf to crack 200k viewers. Not gonna happen I think.

At least it has a chance. Gotta see where the numbers are around losers final to give us a better idea if it will actually happen or not.

 

[LiK]

Are there cameras in the toilet there? Might have footage of the thief dumping the empty bag.

not inside but maybe outside where the doors are. i'm sure if Neo files a police report, maybe that could help. not sure how much money was stolen tho

 

[Mengetsu]

In SF5 I hope they make the training stage unselectable in versus mode

I'd hope it's never in another fighting game again. I wanna see my volcano stage with that GOAT music

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Giggity.

They also took his car key so now he can't drive back home either. This is the fucking worse. Stealing something while he's celebrating

Infiltration no longer 2012 levels.

 

[Tecl0n]

infil not like this

 

[enzo_gt]

I kinda wanna see Infiltration play a different character every round of this finals.

I'm here for dat Hakan.

 

[Bobby Roberts]

Momochi is playing super solid...

...but his decision to keep picking that costume is killing me.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

I would not be surprised if the people stealing stuff are connected and went into there with the explicit intent to steal whatever they could when given the opportunity.

 

[Revven]

I have a feeling it may not be someone in the FGC stealing though. Could just be some randoms. I mean they are in a hotel with all sorts of people. Some sketchy folk may hear about a tournament with prize money and lots of expensive equipment and go for it. I'm being optimistic for the community's image here...

This isn't the first time someone known in the community has had something stolen from them. This has happened before (but not with prize money), usually with personal possessions but in this case it was actual prize money Neo won.

I mean, even back at Apex sp00ky got his 3DS stolen after it had been used to stream, too.

Even one of the Smash 4 commentators' got their Gamecube controller stolen right under their nose (left it at the commentator table for a second and then it was gone) yesterday.

This isn't the first time we've heard of a theft at a tournament. It's not a common problem but it does happen and it's extremely shitty when it does.

 

[xCobalt]

CSI this shit. Get some fingerprints off the bag.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

You want these two to be seriously injured or killed? Why?

First some guy posting a dead eagle and now this, what is happening.

 

[RellyRell28]

I don't think it's "messed up thinking" to guard your valuables. Obviously the person who stole them is a jerk and deserves to be punished but I would never leave money unattended. It's common sense.

Exactly you say I'm victim blame I don't care. Guard your shit it's a lot of people there so of course you have scum bags

 

[Foggy]
