Hate Speech: Come to the Dark Side

We need you to step up and begin the SC Nip-Slip Archive. Think you're up to it?



Ask around--I'm not that bad. Norcal's a good place to learn Calibur, really, as we have a wide variety of skill levels represented. You'll have plenty of people to act as resources for you, and also folks with whom you can learn and improve.

Yeah, I think this is the best time to really get out there and be apart of the scene and the community~ I mean hearing about the gathering at GameCenter has me really hyped too so I hope to me you guys there and at future events~

Hates, from experience of playing him via SCIV (Note: he was rusty as FUUck) still showed excellent play. You're in NorCal, hope you stick around to play him and the other fellas'.

Anyways, for my first tournament experiences--
Devestation 2K10;
I had been playing online for awhile at this point. Which helped me greatly. I placed 5th, and only hardened veterans were able to keep ahead of me. I, as a lot of the new"er" school players, had the awesome tool of online to help prep for real time level. I was very pleased with my performance.

Next big thing was FSAK. Round Robin format, I did pretty well with 11th overall. I took out some big names, and went neck to neck with Thugish (he beat me at the last round, though.) This was my second event, and with a few MM victories under my belt, and recognition as a set offline player, this was one of my favorite tournaments.

My next tournament, I ended up winning. A smaller tournament compared to the last two, but some good competition. It was my Pasadena experience, and I was only on top of my game thanks to the constant prep with KrayzieCD and NDK. I took gold, and was pleased.

My last tournament I attended was DEV2K11. I am very new to the scene still, but have met some of the best people that I'll be friends with forever. Played the best of the best, and sometimes maintained VS them. I have established my name as one of the top online players, an example of online to offline transitioning(that it is possible) and have earned recognition as a skilled players, among top tier players. But nothing beats the friendships I've gained.

Hope new people can take me and other newer school players as an example to go and dive into the competitive scene. It's fuckin' fun.

Great read, I hope a scene develops in Kansas. I know it most likely won't happen, I'm just sick of my only competition around here being my friends Cass. I need tournaments around here (or at least in Oklahoma :D)

Oh there's an OK scene for Soul Calibur. If only for SC lol.

I like the word Casualcore
 
He-Heyy! Congratz on such an elaborate and in-depth article! It's great! It even touched upon the one issue my mind was loaded with, the one thing that inhibits me from entering a tournament, the funds to travel.

I'm sorry, but I must point out that if you (you, in general) ever got money from your parents to buy a plane ticket or a hotel room in order to play a game, yeah, your a rich snot –whether little or obese. On the other hand, if such funds came by way of your own sweat and/or footwork, well God Bless You! In this economy, I'm still wondering how I'll be able to reserve enough money for a PS3 bundle and an HD tv. Oh yes, I'm getting the CE SC5 for PS3, it's on reserve at Best Buy (got my money back from Gamestop :D). Kind of a cart-before-the-horse thing. But if you know this cart,which you can use without a horse, is only available for a limited time (unlike other carts) and horses are abundant indefinitely, why not get the cart?

Anyways i must concur with you about the journey being as justified as the destination. I imagine it's much like getting your band together in the van and joining Warped Tour or Ozzfest. Camaradarie of perfect strangers under a common goal. But the difference is that "one great rock show can change the world!" Can a game?
