Again you are taking it the wrong way Creepy but alright. The way you guys took it was awful, I'm sorry for that.

I can't have fun and test shit out with everyone without getting blown up about it. Nor can I say anything without it being taken the wrong way. I'll be keeping my mouth shut from now on and focusing on leveling up myself like how I was at first. The meet ups at my house will still happen but I wont go out of my way to make it a comfortable environment. It will be strictly be for only playing mk and nothing else. If you just want to come to hang out, I'm going to ask you to not come or leave.

Dj, Korpse and his friends are staying the night Friday at my house then we will leave in the morning for Flawless Victory. Anyone can come, just let me know beforehand.
Can I come?

4. Yes, I said I hate zoning characters. But Kabal isn't even a zoner anymore. If you rely on just iaGB and buzz saw you wont get anywhere. The reason why luis beat me is because he was zoning me when I was trying to get my pressure down in a match. Obviously I'm going to suffer for it.

The first sentence contradicts with the last one, you said zoning isn't gonna get you anywhere then stated that the only reason I beat you was because I was zoning... it really doesn't make sense to me.

I guess what really bothers some of us is that you're basically calling us trash then blaming us for not leveling up and I would say you can only blame your self for that. Look at creepy he plays with the same shitty players you do and hes good as shit and when he looses he doesnt make up excuses he just "Rage quits".:p

When do I ever rage quit? I haven't even raged quit online. Even when I kept getting blown up with kabal I still stuck with him. You out of all people should know I don't call anyone trash. What I said was I dunno if the MU exp from nova would have been enough. That doesn't mean nova is trash.
A few things come to play with what I said
1. Playing 2 days out of the week for a few hours and sitting in practice all week.
2. The character variety is good in the group but there are a few characters I'm uncomfortable with because the people with those characters don't go to every meet up. Creepy hasn't even been to my house in so long.
3. This is my fourth month playing competitively and with actual people. This is also my first fighting game. I don't know if I'm ready ready with my main/secondary.

You misunderstood what I said. You beat me a long time ago with that match because you were zoning me when I was learning the pressure. That means that at the time I wasn't at the level I was at right now so I kept messing up and getting hit by the zoning. There is a difference between trying to get the pressure down with a good amount of loses and not knowing how to fight zoning and not even bother to learn footsies.

You cannot expect Kabal to be easy mode. That shit takes time and a lot of practice. It took me two months to get where I'm at right now mainly because of the hitbox. If I stayed on pad, things would have been different. If you seriously think I'm still shitty come to the meet up wednesday.

I'm trying to figure out why the fuck no one understands me. lol

I never said it wasn't good. My execution was actually terrible that weekend lol.
Zoning is easy to get down, the pressure and footsies are not. I was trying so hard getting my pressure down and footsies then I finally had enough and zoned my ass off. After I got home I figured out what I was doing wrong with the hitbox and my execution became so much better.

I know I have to zone more in some matches. Getting my execution down is a lot more important that winning a match. Even if I do make myself look so bad. When I picked up kabal I knew this was going to happen. I was ready for whatever hard times I had. Obviously I wouldn't play like that if I was in a tournament setting.

Just visited the venue and it looks like there is some construction going on that is denying access to the front entrance of SUBI, so everyone will need to use the main entrance in the back of the building! I've made up some pretty maps to make things easier:

Path to take from Parking Lot A to Student Union Building 1, the side walk next to the Patriot Center is the quickest and easiest route.
- Red = Lot A
- Blue = SUBI
- Green = Path to take


An easy way to know you have the right building is the benches that lead into SUBI. Basically ALL of the trees in the following image have been removed including those covering the path I've indicated, and where you see red are rows of benches that have been painted in various bright colors by the different GMU student organizations. The benches lead right into SUBI, hard to miss.

- Blue = SUBI
- Green = Path to take
- Red = Benches painted by student organizations

What part of PA do you live in? Pimpuigi had a ride to the tourney, but his ride is now unable to go.
Well I was living in West Chester, PA (30 mins outside philly) a few months ago...but now I live in Wash. D.C for the last few months. I think I am the only MK player in the city lol
