VF players

I agree, this thread is making me laugh my head off!!

 

Back in VF2 days: the motivation for my traveling originally was to see how other people played the game... I wanted to see different styles and also characters like Akira and later Lau used at their full potential... something that wasn't happening locally in my area at the time. The more I saw VF2 played at a high level, the more I wanted to learn about the game. It wasn't about winning--it was about improving my own skill, playing a game I enjoyed and hanging out with guys that I liked being with.

If winning was everything, the MoAT gatherings in Toronto would have been very sad days for me... I ended up helping run most of these gatherings and never really was able to focus properly during the actual tournaments... but the warm-up and cool-down battles we had before and after many of these organized gatherings are some of my fondest memories about VF2. Great times with good friends. What else can you ask for?

Re: VF3: After tb came out, I didn't have the hunger to learn anymore... therefore I stopped traveling and contributing to the VF community on the net.

Hatim:
Your latest posts are just spam... your posing is very irritating. We know you're a good player. If you can make it to NYC, great, let us know how it went. Until then, posting anything more than questions/suggestions about where and when you'll be available so that those who are interested may have a chance to challenge you is just so much noise that many of us here would like to do without.

Later,
Yupa

U fool!! shut your mouth and stop sucking up. Please come to casino and say that to his face... PLEASE!!!!

Huh? All I said was:
*please could you stop giving the UK a bad name. Please = polite (in my book).
*I have heard Adam is exceptionally good, and so I think he will probably do well against Hatim.

Thassal.

 

Erm uk_kid when he said "You UK trash have really stunk this place up to high hell." that includes you as well.

I think otherwise. Whilst I am from the UK, I think Mr Bungle was referring to the Londoners, such as Hatim, who have been trash talking and spamming the board of late. Bungle, feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

 

*uk_kid bends over for bungle*

 

Muhahahaha!! I guess over all this time, I've never registered an account. I guess its just out of habit. By now I would have made like 2039470397057 posts too, j/k

Well rich, I would have to disagree with you on a point you made, it's not really my goal to compare points or win percentages of different players, it's actually to incite players to be more competative. Hatim made an accurate statement when he said which would make you feel more like competing..

Hopefully next month i'll be able to make it there and may the best man win

or

I'll be there bext month so I can come and kick your ass

Tell the truth it's likely we will have a great time playing with Hatim because he seems to have the same competative spirit as us, and Ryan seems to be just as competative too.

Re: Think about it what you said...

>Anyway cut a long story short when top sportsmen play and they reach a final or somthing simlar, if they >loose somtimes you can see their broken spirt edged onto their faces like a scar. If you were to ask that >sportsman if it was *fun* loosing he would most likely slap you, so after his loss does he try another sport >no, does he enjoy loosing no, you'll see him next season trying to win it again but he'll still be man enough >to shake his oponent/s hand and say goodmatch/fight after.

I'm just curious, if it's the manly thing to do, to give a player respect and credit for their skill *after* the match, why can't the UK people (UK kid excluded) get their shit together and do that *before* the match?

Not showing basic respect to people will piss them off whether they win, lose, or never compete against you at all.


PS: I swear I'm not trying to nitpick, but I think you mean to say 'lose' and 'losing' not 'loosing'. 'Loosing' sounds what Mr. Bungle thinks will happen to Adam's opponents.

Dude! Will you ever take responsibility for _anything_ you say? Open your damn eyes - you're making wagers for hundreds if not thousands of dollars based on a +/- 1 % win percentage rate on one group over the other!

You can have more than one goal by this, but don't fucking say that you're _not_ trying to compare which two has the bigger penis in VF, because you're basing the point of the gathering on it.

Re: Think about it what you said...

Have you ever seen a Boxing match? The fighters might even seem like they will come to blows before the fight (and somtimes they do) but after the fight they hug each other. They might trash talk but that doesn't mean they don't respect their opponent.

THAT'S.......IT.......NOW!!!

 

Re: Think about it what you said...

You make a good point. Boxers and wrestlers talk trash before their bouts.

And I can't think of any more retarded role models than a rapist thug who bites off people's ears to win, and a steroid-ridden crap actor. These are the kind of people who talk trash before a match. Are they your heroes?


Virtua Fighter is closer to chess than wrestling or boxing. Don't take a game of chess and drag it down to verbal diarrhea.

Re: Think about it what you said...

Erm??? Who said I was talking about Tyson or wrestling, wrestling ...please (wrestling is more like Tekken all show). There are a lots of boxers out there and you can only think of Tyson to prove a point, how about Muhammad Ali. Now no one talked more shit than Ali (and as much sense as well). One more point Boxing is very much like Chess.

THAT'S.......IT.......NOW!!!

 

Re: Think about it what you said...

C'mon dude...don't take one example and say that is representative of the boxing/combative sports world as a whole...thats just horrible debating.

Re: Think about it what you said...

You're right, Muhammed Ali is a very good example.

For me.

Have you seen him lately? It's pathetic. If boxing was like chess, he sacrificed too many pawns to get those all those victories. It might sound like I have something against boxing and wrestling, but I don't. Look at it this way. VF shouldn't be compared to the arts of boxing or wrestling, they aren't what people think of when they think of martial arts. It should be compared to conventional martial arts. At serious martial arts tournaments (we're not talking Pay-per-view UFC stuff) could you imagine the opponents talking trash before the fight? Blathering into a microphone with a promoter at their shoulder?
No. They give a simple and respectful bow in most cases. The few decent magazines out there that cover these events never say stuff like "if the Koreans ever came to Japan they'd have their asses handed to them" and the people these magazines interview don't say "Brazilians know shit about Jujitsu."

...the UK philosophy seems to be that "insults aren't really insults if I'm having fun."

The reality is this - insults aren't really insults only if the *person you attack*
is having fun.

None of the non-UK board members are having fun with your shit. So it seems like a simple leap of logic - "If the joke's only funny to me, maybe I should stop telling it."

Re: Think about it what you said...

True, but it's enough to get over The Wall. =)

What I said wasn't as clear as it should have been. What I mean to imply is this - I don't hold boxing or wrestling (we're talking greco roman olympic wrestling, not balding impotent actors on monday nights) in low esteem. But I hold other martial arts in much higher esteem. If VF is going to be compared to a real life sport, let's do it right.

Give it a rest.

Could you guys please stop talking about the UK. I'm British and I haven't said a word about anything or anyone in a bad demeanour. If you have a problem with one individual or individuals, please be specific and name names.

Adio.

 

Re: Think about it what you said...

Damn Creed I see you have a fighting spirt : ) BTW I'm a Wall with barbed wire and broken glass sticking out so you don't get over that easily : )

Valid point about Muhammed Ali, he is in a sorry state but he'll still be considered one of the greatest Sportsmen of all time. Long after he dies, I die, and you die he'll be rememberd FOR WHAT HE WAS, Ali inspired a generation. You seem to have this sterotype that martial artists are like soft spoken never a bad word to say people, they're human like everybody else so just because they don't make their thought known as wildly as boxers doesn't mean they don't trash talk. I know a couple martial artists too and they talk a lot of shit. Martial artists (not all but a lot) are ALWAYS braging that their martial art is better than X martial art just because you don't read it in Martial Art Monthly doesn't mean they don't talk trash.

The real reality is some people on this board (*how can I word this gracefully*) are a tiny bit bit touchy (exstreeeemly tiny bit) and what are inocent playfull fun remarks are being taken way out of context. Look at it this way, a few people from a small island in europe that shall remain nameless said they'll beat you at VF, now on a scale of 1 to 10 on my Insult O Graph it doesn't even register now imagine one of these indivisuals started insulting board members familes, from the state of things now and on judging on how some people have reacted you'll be droping bombs on us too. I'm sure a lot of board members have heard stories on how people have been killed because they steped on someone's brand new pair of Nike or somthing, at the time this happened the guy who has the dirty Nike shoe must of thought he's justified to try and end this person/victim's life because he steped on his shoe (or he's an idiot), do you see my point? It was a minor situation a minor incident that got totaly out of hand. So if people are going to take minor playful comments to the heart all the time then they need to lighten up a bit.




THAT'S.......IT.......NOW!!!

 

Re: Give it a rest.

I think it's pretty clear who I'm talking about, and I've been specific in previous posts. Stop being such a sissy.

If there is still confusion, I am referring to Dynamic League/Derrick, PKG, The Wall (not half as bad as the others) and Hatim (10% less irritating than the others).
Your posts are fairly harmless, and I thank you for that.

Re: Think about it what you said...

While I see your point about the whole "lighten up" argument, I don't buy it. My body temperature doesn't go up 1 degree during these little squabbles, so I'm not taking it as seriously as you think. I'm just trying to make a simple point, that trash talking is not cool, not fun, and not productive. If I make the point a little forcefully, it's because it doesn't seem to get across any other way. Everyone else who talks trash on the board says the same thing: lighten up. Why should dozens of people on the board adjust to the irritating habits of 2 or 3 individuals?
Why can't the 2 or 3 individuals lighten up instead and humor the uptight Americans? It doesn't take a miracle of self restraint to not post trash, although it takes a miracle for me to not hit the reply button when I see it.
