How classy of you XiF. Instead of voicing your criticisms in a constructive manner at the tournament or even to me once the tournament was over in private, you come up with this.
The only reason I even considered myself to be in contention for a spot once we got to FC was because DaShizWiz suggested it after our pool set. I really didn't want to since I thought there were better players (and last year I didn't feel that all valuable in crews), but in our discussions with Florida during the regular crew battles (in which you were present) Shiz pushed for me to be on the team and I went along with him, because as a top tier player with a different perspective I valued his judgement over mine. I thought that the team could have used my abilities, and obviously I was wrong. In retrospect I should have put shiz in vs. Chillin instead of myself, but I relied on past precedent and thought that if I counterpicked Mute City, chillin would go JIgglypuff like he did last year (he was so confident in his puff he was moneymatching people that weren't like chu/pc/m2k/drephen), and even if he didn't switch I thought I could handle it. I admit it, I made a mistake and I was wrong, and it cost us precious stock. But in the end, Chillin is an incredibly solid player, and at 9 am when I haven't played at all that day (since while all you guys were warming up I was running around making sure we had enough players concious to compete) I was obviously not playing anywhere near my best level, and it's incredibly blatant if you watch the crew matches. I even told smiles that he would be taking my spot vs West Coast when we played them, since as a starter I had to play in 2 crew matches, but unfortuanetly we never did. Admittedly I sucked it up vs Darkrain as well, but we still managed to pull that crew battle out, thanks to fantastic efforts on Nite and Linguini's parts. Instead of tearing down your captain, why don't you focus on the more positive aspects, like supporting your fellow crew mates?
Also, if I'm a terrible player and I beat you in every match we played (even if it was only 2), what does that make you? And, since regional crews aren't really for money, their weight is essentially reduced to the value of a friendly. So either your criticism has full value because crew battles are worth something they're not (which would make our friendlies have the same weight, and if you're calling me terrible and you lose to me in a match that has some significance behind it - do you see where I'm going with this?), or our friendlies (as well as the importance of crews, as per the lack of any monetary value on the line) are basically meaningless because they lack the external pressure of actual tournament play.
Anyway.
I had a good time and I hope that my set vs. G-regulate is up soon, because it's pretty sexy as well as entertaining.
I mean, there's like a quintuple knee combo from g-reg and I think I forward tilt into a chain throw. What more could you ask for?
<3s all around, especially everyone from Florida who I met and were nice (Rock/QDVS/Linguini/Shiz/SpeedN/ColBol)
And vidjo because he's the coolest guy ever and I'm like his only fan. lawlz
