Hate Speech War Report: Our Own March Madness

I think some people are reading too much into the train & cat picture without actually...you know...reading the train. =P
 
I was at NCR, and I'm happy to add it to my list of enjoyable tournaments. As someone mentioned, though, the venue- there were way too many people for the size, and the fact that it was raining didn't help the hygiene problem (along with the staple-lack o' deo).

As for my feelings on the patch... I was for not using the patch, considering it was released 3days before NCR. It was disappointing prepping/adjusting with VERSION 1.01 since it's release, then being forced to play a completely different game (It is a different game) at a tournament, was stupid, in my opinion.

The only good thing I have to say about the use of V.1.02 was I had a weekend to play it in high level play before everyone else who wasn't at NCR. Yay?

The event was fantastic, though. Hype level was off the chain, everyday. I played some excellent players. I got drunk, and I got to catch up with a lot of old friends and met new friends as well. The experience of a "good tournament" was definitely potent. Even if I was disappointed with the use of the new patch, the fact that I had a blast over shadows my V.1.02 salty-ness.

I can't wait till' NCR 2K13.
 
A thought- a better way to discourage runaway is to discourage the whiff punish style rewards than to nerf the movement. Less NH knd/launchers, and bigger CH rewards. That way, yes you get a reward for whiff punishing, but if you want the big damage, you have to earn it by getting in there and setting up for it. Setting up for whiffs is comparatively easier in most cases.

That said, I'm fine with 1.02. Oh you were BACKDASHING AGAIN and got READ? Sorry take damage now.
They seemed to have the right idea making Nightmare's, Siegfried's (etc) 3B not launch at tip, but the whole Run CH deal kinda screwed that over with the backdash nerf. You used to get punished for backdashing while backdashing... now, you are punished because you must suffer for deciding to backdash. muhuhahahaha!

that said, I agree with this.
