"Bombsoldier is a Japanese professional smasher who is best known for coming from relative obscurity to defeat Masashi and then nearly [to] defeat Ken to place 2nd at the Jack Garden tournament in Japan. Bombsoldier's Falco, known as the most powerful Falco in Japan (where there are a lot of other important players like Masashi and Hiko) and one of faster Falco
Now...Vat"O" who the f*** are you? How many hundreds of thousands of views has a handful of your smash videos racked up, or threads and posts been made about you or mentioning you either flaming or worshipping? I'm glad money is not a problem for you, but it is for Bombsoldier, who to countless, like it or not, is one of the following: a god, a living legend, notorious, famous, infamous, depending on your view of him. Unfortunately Bombsoldier, as I've heard, was raised in poverty in rural Japan and by virtue of his skill and talent was able to make a name for himself by being lucky enough to be at a tournament that Ken and Masashi were attending.
Consider Bombsoldier's attendance at OC3 a scholarship of sorts, making available to him through his past merit what only the privileged or fortunate are granted, which is the chance to compete and showcase himself at a grand tournament such as this. A smash Cinderella story is at our hands thanks to the generosity of Ken, mana, and certain members of the smash community.
Your post is despicable not only because it is full of whining, invalid points, and certainly not least illegibility, but most of all because of the selfishness it displays. In your post you begin with "I didn't pay for Bombsoldier to be here, so why is he here? I want to play Bombsoldier, why do I have to pay? Even though I have money, I paid a lot to get here so give me back some of my money or pay to play my relatively unknown crew and me also." Worst of all, after your selfish remarks you mention the "smash community" when in fact the malice you showed toward Bombsoldier's cause reveals disrespect toward watching the highest level of play amongst the best competitors, especially from someone who has contributed greatly to the growth and evolution of the smash scene.
Good job reiterating Ken's point that there is no favoring bull going on, because the favoritism being shown is charity toward a worthy cause, and not a scrub like you. Great job quoting it in your signature out of context because that helps everyone know how ignorant, indecent, and immature you are.
For those that still do not understand and for the last time:
1) Bombsoldier has the right to choose with whom he does or does not want to play like any other person.
2) Playing with Bombsoldier is not your right, it is a privilege and not all privileges are free.
3) Ken and mana are not scheming money, but instead came up with an idea and created a mechanism to help raise funds for a charitable cause.
4) If you want to play Bombsoldier so badly, $20 is a godsend compared to the cost of round-trip tickets to Japan plus the cost of food and lodging. Ken and mana have kindly made him available to everyone.
Thank you for your time for anyone who has read this. I apologize to anyone offended.
But yeah, mana, will t-shirts be available online via website or E-bay? I'm not exactly sure if it's a limited souvenir/memorabilia for those that attend or a way to earn extra money to help cover costs. Irregardless, the shirts and their high quality ink and vivid colors sound very appealing!
