The retirement... err... stupid thread.

AWWW Konjou i don't wanna hear that shit. there's still more VF left in your body...You just have to break the mental weight holding you down come tourney time. In tourney time you play to win. Fuck moral and whateva else things there is my friend. You are a good dude man i don't want to see you go out like this. I had jitters playing Vf in WCG in april and it lead to my lapse and Flash came back to win me (After working damn hard to win those matches). I took that as learning exp. When we played again in loser's my confidence had went up a bit because i had the knowledge i could get it done. You have that will but it something holding you back and you just have to open your mind to playing dirty lol!!!

Don't quit just stick around guide the youngans.

 

Big thanks and same to you too man. Yo Rod, maybe you'll still go to the SoCal VF gatherings at Plague's? Cause I'll probably be at the one next year if he has one, cause I'll be an hour or so from the area, now that I'm on the west coast and everything.

I'm out of VF too, but since it'll be super close to me now, I'll go just to hang out. I don't know how much gaming I'll be doing in the future, but if so it'll be dat Tekken.

Yo peace man

 

I named this the "err... stupid thread" for a reason.

You like VF? Play VF. You done with VF? Don't play VF... and shut the fuck up.

 

Ameeeeeeen.

 

Nah Rod you didn't make the WCG finals again this year, but I don't think you realize how goddamn successful you are in VF? I don't think many of us would be as enthusiastic about this game if it weren't for your presence as the bridging powerhouse. I think Denkai and Cidkid showed me the importance and the sole power of determation in VF, but from you, I learned how to be courageous when playing regardless of the circumstances, and you also were the first to present me the challenge of becoming a skillful VF player.

Was it last week when we played? I had to have beaten you at least 7 times in a row. Then all of a sudden you came back and beat me 19 times. That type of shit is rare and remarkable. Now that I understand that you too, are a human - I really don't want you to win against me anymore haha. But I fully understand how important it is to get knocked out, knowing I'm trying my best. You and Denkai are the only people that give me that true sense of defeat, and for that reason I hope you both continue to stick around.

Who the hell could deny your passion towards VF? That's the reason why we all decided to hang at your crib a few months ago instead of anywhere else. No matter how many times Denkai uses his beat knuckle button, Rodney still remains to be the undisputed MVP for US VF. I don't expect anyone or myself to play VF forever, but at the very least, keep in touch, and win in whatever it is you want to choose to pursue. Honestly though, how can one fully depart from this game or the people?

Say, when is the next Socal? Let's get those games in again

 

Ice-9 pays no bills for VFDC as far as I know.

 

ok Plague we get it... you don't like my post or any post like this. We get it already.... you know you can just ignore it / them or don't read it /them.

 

It was fun while it lasted, but I'm out as well. Not that I have a problem with VF or the community I just feel like my time could be better spent elsewhere, so that's what I'm doing. I'll still play every now and then and I may still show up to other gatherings just don't expect me to make too much improvement .

The only reason I can learn fighting games as fast as I can is because Slide's been beating me up online since I was like 12. Honestly, I think we have a similar playstyle, sometimes we do more than we need to to get the win. We need to cut out all that evade canceling nonsense.

Edit: Scaling back is a better word than retirement for me : ).

 

say it ain't so. Mentor me

 

Noted.

I'll miss you and many other people who quit. I think the community is better off with you (not without you).

 

Your not going no where GT. Bring that Pai back over here. Im not done with her ass by long shot.

Konjou you can add your ass to the fire too....Im not done with that Akira either.

 

Have fun not playing guys. It was nice to have u here while u lasted.

I look forward to seeing who the new guard will be in a year or 2. I'm sure someone is gonna step up in u guys' absence. Peace. Enjoy life without vf5.

 

I'm just hoping by "retiring", they all mean retiring from online VF. Which I don't see as a bad thing. I've been retired from online VF for a loooooong time now.

Doesn't stop me from getting to events and having fun and shit.

 

I think he will.

 

meh

imma retire from VFonline my XboxLive account will end Oct 1st. i'll still be around to check the forums tho Cozby, Yupa, Shang feel free to hit me up for offline VF.

 

WTF with the domino effect, Konjou retires then one after another people are saying peace?! I guess I'll hit you guy's up in tekken 6 in a month's time, care for some players?

 

yeah. Kamais, don't know if u've noticed, but most people who retire are still playing online, lol.

 

Plague. You definitely make a compelling argument. I kinda agree with u for the most part.
