Social "Time to Tip the Scales!" - Robin Social Thread

[The_Cardinal]

That Esam vs Chudat match was good. Esam's pikachu is always fun to watch. Almost made me consider subbing pikachu at one point. Almost.

 

[Pegasus Knight]

That's cool. I do wish you luck; I truly do hope you prove me wrong when I've said I don't think Robin is really viable at this time. It looks like you are... what, 33% of the way there? 50%?

(Note that I do not consider 'win Evo' to be the sole metric of 'prove me wrong.' A legitimately good showing outside of Pools would suffice, and I hope to see it happen!)

 

[AustarusIV]

Shrooby is unfortunately out, I caught a few of his pools matches.

What? Noooooo.....

At least he probably played well. Good luck in those later matches, Raziek.

 

[Arc_Thunder]

@ Raziek So when will we be able to see you play on stream?

 

[Raziek]

@ Raziek So when will we be able to see you play on stream?

Well, if I continue to do well, I'll eventually make it on. Quarterfinals pools don't play until 6 pm PST though.

 

[shrooby]

Guys I found @ Raziek .

 

[Wintropy]

Hard luck, @ shrooby .

I'm sure you fought well. :3

 

[AustarusIV]

Guys I found @ Raziek .

No way. You're not pulling our leg, are you?

 

[Deleted member]

ESAM's Pikachu is amazing and pretty inspiring to be honest. I wonder how he plays so well with him.

Also, I'm sorry about your loss, @ shrooby . You did your best, however.

 

[Zantetsugun]

Good job regardless @ shrooby ! Sorry to hear you got knocked out early.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

The struggles of being a fighting game fan.

 

[WispBae]

[Chapter Serf]

Kick ass, @ Raziek . Kick ass.

 

[Coolpool2]

Best of luck in the quarterfinals @ Raziek , show them what Robin can do!

 

[RadiantTactician]

[RobinOnDrugs]

Got get em' @ Raziek

[Zantetsugun]

@ Raziek shall avenge @ shrooby 's defeat!

 

[Deleted member]

@ Raziek
Good luck in your set. I hope that you can prove to people that Robin is a formidable foe. Be three steps ahead, please.

 

[Wintropy]

Got get em' @ Raziek

Do it for @ shrooby !

Fun fact: in my circle of friends, when drinking games are involved, we have a rule that we call #drinkforniko. When the "drink for Niko" rule is invoked, someone nominates themselves to drink on my behalf if the rules call for it.

This is because I'm teetotal and don't drink. It began as a weird joke when someone volunteered to drink in my stead, and this has since been invoked for other teetotal members of the group.

I have tried substituting other beverages in place, but it either doesn't work (fizzy drinks aren't really the same as naggins of vodka) or is physically painful to consume (undiluted cordial was a weird thing that I tried), so I'm content to just sit there and have good, sober fun~

 

[smokebomb12]

@ Raziek I know we not on the best terms, But a good tactician has nothing to fear. I wish you luck.

U2 @ shrooby .

You'll be hard pressed to two-stock or three-stock @ Raziek (which would be the equivalent of "destroy", if you two-stock in a two-stock ruleset or three-stock in a three-stock ruleset, respectively), particularly if you still play given that the MU is even.

I'll be blunt and say that you've probably got a good way to go before you get to that point.

tl;dr: Welcome to the big leagues.

What ever you say dude bro.

God why you so ruthless brah? I wish more people play Link though.

She's alright.

Funny that you mention that, because I just got myself a bottle of Moscato wine just recently!

Not that I'd do drinking games. I'd rather be sober myself. Pretty amusing story though!

 

[Koiba]

Hey @ Raziek good luck~

Tip the scales for all your tacters~

 

[Gamegenie222]

Got back from errands for school and a Evo viewing party and I heard some stuff. @ Raziek don't choke now ya'll hear.

Weird but understandable.

Also @ shrooby who you lose to?

REPRESENT RAZ, REPRESENT

[Wintropy]

What ever you say dude bro.

He's right, though.

I've played Soully many times and we have had some very personal conversations, and he is not someone who holds back.

He's telling you that you need to improve because, well, you do. I haven't seen you play, though I know what Raz is like, and you need to be at the absolute tip-top of your game to even get a scratch in on that man.

Saying, "Yeah, I'm good, I'm gonna whoop yo' ass!" doesn't cut it. I've been to tourneys, I've placed pretty well, hell I live with the undisputed best player in our scene, and I often wonder how the hell I manage it. It's tough. You need to be really and truly dedicated to the game if you want to succeed, and equally importantly, you need to keep your ego in check and be a good sport about it. Sportsmanship is a vital aspect of any competitive event. You need to have the bite as well as the bark to make it in the big leagues.

If I were you, I would heed Soully's advice, because he is a damn good player and a very wise man and he will help you get better. He will make you bleed. That will make you better than just telling the world as a whole that you're the best, because without the effort and the talent to back it up, you're just shouting into thin air.

Nothing worth doing is easy.

If it's worth doing, of course, it's worth doing right.

She's alright.

And uhh Soully is a dude~

 

[Symphonia]

Good luck @ Raziek !

I know how much you guys like puns

 

[Wintropy]

Heh, I've never gotten into the habit of drinking wine.

I've tried many, many times, and I invariably end up handing it back with a scrunchy face and saying, "Nope. Yucky."

Weird but understandable.

Weird that I don't drink or weird that someone else does it for me?

 

[Zantetsugun]

False Sense confirmed for nice guy.

The memes are coming out hardcore from the commentators now.

 

[Nah]

this page rn is pretty much just Raziek and shrooby tags lol

Alcohol is one of those things that's kind of an acquired taste. I remember when I first starting drinking I couldn't stand the taste of any alcoholic drink but after a while it came to not be so bad and then later came to like it. Though there are some drinks you'll never come to stand really. I ****in' hate IPAs and will probably never come to like them.

But if you've tried wine that many times and it still doesn't work for you, you'll probably never like it, but that's fine too.

I've tried beer, wine and spirits many times and I just don't like it. I have other reasons for not drinking besides distaste for the flavour.

 

[Soul.]

hey guys, are you enjoying evo

 

[Zensor]

Cue angry Kiraflax

 

[The_Cardinal]

I'm not really a drinker either. I mainly just have a beer or two when hanging with colleagues. I do love me some sake though, hot or cold.

FIEEEEEEEEEEEND~

I already wished @ Raziek good luck, but twice is the charm I suppose. I wish you the very best of luck, Raz! I'm certain you'll represent Robin in an exceedingly good fashion. :'D

Yep! He just bopped poor Kira's Pit.

Also I'm not a fan of alcoholic drinks myself, although I haven't really tried them either for personal reasons.

hey guys, are you enjoying evo

HECK YEAH!

Cue angry Kiraflax

Nah he put up a good fight, but almost SD'ing twice in the first match didn't do his confidence any favors.

FIEEEEEEEEEEEND~

[Baskerville]

The only time I've had alcahol was putting Baileys on some ice cream.
It's better than you think.

Yep! He just bopped poor Kira's Pit.

Good **** False Sense!

Oh definitely! Those were some really good games!

But I wanted to see angry standing up death stare Kiraflax

Hell yeah! D1 on the mic!
