Stock Market NEC Edition: Well an alien DID win

AK L0rdoftheFLY

I hatelove this game
My stock is fair. But to be honest the only person I was really worried about in top 8 was Theo, and that was who I had to face first lol. I feel like if I would have won that match than top 8 would have gone much differently. Because next I would have had to fight Blind Ducky, than next I would have had to fight Noobe (both of whom I beat in money matches this weekend.) Than I would have been in top 3 with Tyrant and Pimpimjim. I know the Grundy matchup with Batman like the back of my hand. But I have no idea what would have happend with me vs Pimpimjim in grand finals.

Either way it was an awesome tournament, definitely the funnest I have been to in a long time. Between Friday Saturday and Sunday combined I got less than 5 hours of sleep lol. But I'm happy with my performance in both games :D Probably done going to tournaments until Evolution 2014
I love the "What If" posts. I think through this after every tournament... except mine usually have many more names because I lose in pools but What ev.

I usually like these, but this one seemed really pretentious. I also think that Tom deserves stock up since he was able to back up his talk and beat theo in that ft5; but if it's something positive, it doesn't get said about Tom.

tom stock up : for taking that annoying doucher off the mic , god he annoyed me .. the last time i heard him commentate was like evo or some shit and he literally said all the exact same things , even down to his girlfriend smelling his dick or some shit after every tourny , jesus
 
My dad should get stock stuff cause he's the shit and was getting drunk with G4S Claude VonStroke
He shouldn't. If my dad was getting drunk with people at one of these events, I'd probably kill myself. BUT he does get mad props and stock for not just unleashing the beast and killing that other raven player who was screaming for your sodomy in the background. Jesus Christ, I think at least three people just wanted to stomp his fucking face in at that moment. Too rude. And grats to you sir.

I don't mind commentators being on for their entertainment. But when it comes to Top 8, I believe that commentators that know the game should be used. Both of these commentators did not seem to know the game post-patch.

They also didn't know that when Deathstroke's trait is on cooldown, all of his gun shot specials will miss. This was evident when this exact scenario happened during a button check, and both commentators were talking about it as if they had just watched a major glitch happen on-stream.

I found them both to be enjoyable, but, again: if it's Top 8, get someone on there with considerable knowledge of the game such as Brady or Pig. Because this game (like other non-Capcom games) receives the most exposure to the rest of the FGC during Top 8 action. ESPECIALLY when it's on Spooky's stream. It's during this specific time where we need commentators that can explain the game in detail to those who may be less familiar with it.

Agreed. I dont remember the last tourney flipkev commentated, but I didnt enjoy it then, and I didnt enjoy it this time around.

Just one mans opinion...but I do not enjoy his commentary at all.

Slayer: Stock neutral. Did not place but ended in a respectable 9th place. Stole it from Kitana Prime with the horseshit dive bombs. Appeared to play all of his matches at his WNF home field, Themysicra. This makes no sense because it's double random. Should be investigated for foul play. I have heard NEC has history of shady tactics.


Martian Manhunter: Stock down. After the zoners on the Kryptonite Council spent weeks going apeshit over the alien he fails to place top 16. CD Sr and Jupiter, who they had pegged as possible top 8 contenders, lost in pools. REO failed to show and has now become a boogeyman for them. They now speak of him in hushed tones and warn bad kids that he is coming for them if they don't behave. The hysteria was so high that somehow the rational, level headed players who are simply taking a wait and see approach are Death level downplayers for not considering him the new ST Akuma.
Slayer thrives on Randomness. How do you think he lands so many Divebombs? Reads? Non-Sense!

Haha.. Love the Martian Manhunter references. It's so true I didn't even wanna get involved with any MMH discussions (on either side of the debate).

Am so salty i may need to money match you at frausty fausting
Well going 0-2 is pretty embarrassing but not making it out of pools isn't significantly better. Just IMO.

But hey, we've got some frosty hype already :D
