Yup, folks, we had us a brawl.
Me, JD, Saxman, and...some other people!
...yeah.

Now, anybody who knows me and JD knows that when we collide in this game, WAR happens.
Namely, quite a few rounds between Megaman/Roll and War Machine/Gold War Machine.
Admittedly, that flying knee/bomb strategy hurts, but so does a Beat Plane at close range. Such a shame GWM can't block, eh? :D During our matches, JD and I even took some new characters out for a spin. He played characters such as Wolverine, Strider Hiryu and Spiderman (even one match where he played Red Venom, who can't hit Roll with LP at all) whereas I took Hulk, Ryu and Morrigan and gave them a try. Saxman took a small video of one of those 'fun' matches, where I had JD on the ropes with Hulk, only for his Wolverine to hit not only him, but his partner with a Berserker Barrage X, knocking them both out.

Eventually, though, we soon dropped the extra characters and played with who we knew. The machine screwed us on a few moves (I missed count on how many Berserker Barrage X/Beat Planes I could have landed but didn't), but it was a blast. At the end of the day, we were pretty evenly matched, after all that time.
Our tallys for the day (against everybody) was JD landing 2nd place with 14 wins, and me landing 1st and 3rd with 17 and 13 wins, respectively (yes, I was at the arcade for a pretty long time.)

Saxman then came in. It was cool that he showed up, and that he accepted my challenge.
He gave it his all, but, in the end, 'Wildman-no-jutsu' doesn't exactly pan out too well.
No worries, though...the minute he gets more focused in his gameplay, I'm sure he could kick some serious a**.

Some other guys faced off against me.
One gave me trouble, and he was pretty persistent.
I believe he was the same guy that gave me chats on Shoryuken (http://www.shoryuken.com) one time I came on there and I mouthed off like a Sesame Street Yip-Yip. I think he gets the point now that I'm definitely a force to be reckoned with in this game. He did make one comment that I was -ahem- running with Roll. JD then asked him:

"You expect a little girl like that to rush down Strider?

And, he's quite right. Roll has very short range, and running after Strider to hit him face on is like running into a coal mine with lit dynamite. I'd have expected somebody from Shoryuken to know Roll can't rush down for s**t, and has to play a defensive game, most of the time.

Another got licks, and said something that really had me and Saxman bowl over laughing. What was it?

"You real good, but you kinda s***ty at the same time."

He then asked me if I understand where I was coming from, since I was resorting to 'cheap tactics' and whatnot.
I told him this:

"Oh, I understand. You're making excuses for losing."

Seriously, I'm good and I suck at the same time? I'm sure on some other planet that makes sense, but that logic suffers from one serious flaw:

...this is EARTH.

...sorry, partner, but if you're going to make poor excuses like that for losing, it's best you find a Pac-Man machine and start wailing on that, because eating pellets and running from ghosts seems to be more your speed for now.

Seriously? Roll is BOTTOM-TIER in the game.
If you have trouble handling a 'small girl' like that, then you need to shape up, fellas. Seriously.
Don't make excuses like "She's too small to hit!", because that's not true at all.

Oh, and for those guys who backed away from the machine just because I'm on it and was asking me if I was going back in when I'm done, screw you, you damn cowards. You want in? TAKE ME OFF OF IT. Don't stand there going:

"OH GAWD IT'S HOPELESS DON'T PUT YOUR COIN IN BECAUSE HE'LL KICK YOUR A**"

...seriously, how do you expect to beat me at all if you're standing there with your tail between your legs whimpering as if you're a small boy in the Neverland Ranch? Grow a pair, jump in, and KICK MY A**. For a group of people that once laughed at me just because I play with a couple of 'children', you sure are acting as if you've got Raisinettes for balls now. God.

I'll admit this much: JD can kick my a**. Akil can kick my a**. Rio can kick my a**. Balki can kick my a**, Ultima can kick my a** . (Granted, I can return the favor, just so you know.) So, now that we've pretty much established that while I rule in this game, I'm not invincible, just what is your problem? No, don't bother answering that. I know exactly what's your deal.

YOU SUCK.
...nuff said.


Anyhoo. Good game, everybody.
I'll organise another one after Christmas, when more people can come.
And hopefully, there would be more takers and less shakers.
Outlaw, out.
