Where did this homophobe stuff come from? Isn't Valle friends with Ricky O.?

That was a Mike Watson quote.
"Ours is one continued struggle against degradation sought to be inflicted upon us by the European, who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy a wife with, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness." Is a Gandhi quote, that doesn't mean it merits repeating.Teknopathetic said:

That doesn't really make any sense. You're comparing Valle quoting someone to...Gandhi saying something himself? Of course, that doesn't mean it's okay to say, but that'd be like saying a History teacher would be racist and whatnot because he/she recited that Gandhi quote in class.
What I'm saying is that the problem is with the message, not with whoever first came up with it.Teknopathetic said:
if i made a thread on GAF about how often Indians get lumped together with 'dirty savage Africans', I imagine you wouldn't care very much that i was paraphrasing someone else, even in jest.

As non-pc as the word may be, saying "losing is for faggots" doesn't automatically make someone a homophobe.

"What I'm saying is that the problem is with the message, not with whoever first came up with it."
You're ignoring that Valle made it quite clear (distancing himself quite far) that he was quoting Watson, especially at that part. And while it doesn't excuse the language whatsoever, the message that Valle was trying to pass along wasn't losing is for homosexuals.
"if i made a thread on GAF about how often Indians get lumped together with 'dirty savage Africans', I imagine you wouldn't care very much that i was paraphrasing someone else, even in jest."
These analogies that don't really connect. Let's take it back a step because you're making the argument into something else.
"As non-pc as the word may be, saying "losing is for faggots" doesn't automatically make someone a homophobe."
^ This is the point. Especially when he wasn't saying it directly himself.

Um, yeah, i really don't want to get baited into this discussion but Valle and Watson are just plain ghetto. It was a dumb word to use but they were were just trying to get a point across, and from what i understand it was kind of a weird situation because the friendly atmosphere was starting to get in the way of competition.
So yeah, it was insensitive, not malicious. In all the time i've known those fools, i've never seen them exclude anyone or them make anyone feel uncomfortable based on their personal life. In fact, for all the shit talking Watson does, i've never once seen him start a rivalry. It's always someone else picking a fight.

Eh SBO Quals.. if you watched them.. you saw Valle suck suck suck. It was all Combofiend pratically with his sick Viper.Spiderjericho said:
Was Bar Fights 2 a full blown out tourney? Or wasnt it large headlining matches - And then EC came in and ripped them a new one..?
I agree he is consistently up near the top though - Which is awesome but he just hasn't had a dominance like he talks.

who wants to get in a few on psn?
I think the Ryu vs. Ryu matchup might be my worst matchup. I've never gotten beat up as bad by anyone as I have with RiceEater and Roxicodone.
Why am I so bad at this matchup when I know everything Ryu can/will do?????????
edit: I think it, since its a 100% even matchup where no one has any distinct exploitable advantages over the other, it comes down to patience, and execution, both of which I lack. Also my footsies/ground game suck.

A few reasons, but the biggest is I just hit a wall with rog. I can't do his BnB's 70% of the time, so once people figure out my throwing game and my overuse of the overhead into headbutt I'm just plain free. Also I needed a secondary and Vega is pretty fun
Your sim is def improving, although it's got a ways to get to that level of your vega.

how is that offensive? I can't believe they don't let ladies play in the 'insert sports tournament here'
men get scary serious about videogames, women not so much, there is going to be obvious levels of skill difference.
So i finally got around to taking a few SF4 screenshots - four, to be exact. They turned out okay, i think.
Street Fighter IV Screenshot Special
No console characters because i uh, don't have them unlocked. Unlocking them at 9fps would take me a month. Someone requested Darkstalkers so i'm gonna give that series a shot starting next week.

GG's bro. No prob, my Rufus is here anytime you wanna go haha.
Man, so salty after losing to this Ken player who talked trash to me earlier. The worst thing in the world is to lose to a trash talking scrub after you talked shit to him back and then losing to a wake up ultra. But I'm better now that I played a few matches against some of GAF and had one of my many late night convos with FMF haha. Denton ain't free no more, at least I'm on my way to make that statement true haha.

ggs timedog. im starting to realize that as i play for some reason my hands get extremely cold and i start losing pretty bad. i could never figure out why i'd start out playing really good, then go on a 10 game losing streak until today. i had to sit on my hands between games and in like 15s my ass was cold too :lol . think im gonna have to start playing with gloves or something.
