The FGC needs a Jordan. Someone who is dominate and is willing to set aside any of his opinions and feelings on everything to pave the way for future generations to make theirs. Jordan paved the way for other players to get sponsorships and endorsements while keeping it classy and not letting any kind of BS get to his head regardless of his feelings and opinions on things.

You mean 2009 Daigo?

IMO, most of those characters are solid. Hell, Abegen does well with Tron despite using a bad team.
They can work well on the right team, but the disparity between them and the top tiers is ridiculous.
I love watching Abegen's team even though its arguably poorly constructed.

Crossposting from the Injustice thread because you guys love seeing hatemail. This one is the best I received, and it was when I solo'ed against a team of Dante and Kratos with Sir Dan and won.

Honestly though there is no one as determined to take EVO as ChrisG and there is no one more deserving either. Part of me wants him to take it but another part of me doesn't. I just hope that if he does take it the GF isn't some shitty 3-0 blow out.

I want every match he plays to be a 3-0 blow up. Straight through winner's bracket, putting everyone on blast.

I feel this man's pain.. I hate it when my phone autocorrects "fucking" to "gucking" :(

Injustice, or PAS? I'm confused.

Isn't the current situation in Marvel 3 akin to what happened with Justin in Marvel 2?

should go scour for forum posts from the JWong domination period to see if people whined just as much.
 
Not really, ChrisG hasn't even won EVO yet or hell even a West Coast event yet. If this continues for 2-3 years then yea it would be similar.

NCR is his major to show he can handle the pressure of being in the West Coast (if he feels pressured).

Speaking of NCR, are there any exhibition matches scheduled?

As much as I respect Chris, he has made himself out to be somewhat of a heel. The whole "I don't care what others think" attitude is going to bite him in the ass one day.

With all the waves he's been making recently I think it's already starting to.

Was Brandon Lee really all that famous?

Prior to his death filming the Crow?

Not really. We knew that Bruce Lee's son was making a movie, but when he died filming it he was a legend before the movie even released. (blah blah blah Lee family curse blah blah blah)

Godlike film.

I was born in 80 and I don't recognize a lot of those artists.

Yeah, I was born in 79 and from around 91 to 95 I listened to nothing but metal and grunge. Although I was aware of some of the bigger trends in the overall music scene.... and had that C & C Music Factory music video maker for Sega CD...

Then the internet happened

Does anyone know the name of a video where MarlinPie was looking away from the screen and had the creepiest face ever while comboing someone? I don't remember the name of the video and I want to show it to someone. I know it's not much to go off of but I'm hoping someone remembers what it was.
 
I'm 30 and I don't think I can answer half those questions. But so what, I remember watching GI Joe, Transformers, Robotech, and Duck Tales in the late 80's to early 90's. Therefore I've already earned my place.

Pretty much my 80's as well. Transformers heavy of course, hur, hur. And lots of sports, showtime, Montana, LT, bad boy pistons, jordan. And lots of michael jackson, pop radio, and oldies.

Did they really fucking add button checks to melee tournaments? YOU CAN'T CHANGE YOU'RE BUTTONS

I think too many people were complaining that their controllers crapped out on them mid set, so they do "warm ups" now just to make sure everything is working properly.

It's silly but whatever. Melee is a fast game, someone's L button or c stick crapping out mid game is real annoying. I know from experience.
