[Doombawkz]

While this pic has me rolling on the ground, when I fist saw it I thought you should of used a Dee Jay pick cause he has the thumbs up, the grin and them headphones. lol

This needs to be made into a thing.

Rico's a buff dude, right? That wouldn't have been a fight Sanford would win. Against his stick? 10-0 MU

And lo fucking l @Mikemetroid

A buff dude? idk about that I dont pay attention looking at dudes, I prefer women. But I felt sorry for that stick.

Saltford Kelly at it again,but what I don't understand is if he had some "outside" problems....Why enter in a tournament full well knowing that your head is not completely in the game.

Some of us live and play street fighter, others play street fighter to live.

Thats awesome, I hope KDZ doesn't mind this though:

The throwing of sticks used to be a Gootecks meme, no? Anyway, salt happens, and some people deal with it by chucking stuff; Its ok (if its your stuff).

Someone needs to edit the video or gif to make it freeze frame on Rico doing the thumbs up, and then make his smile twinkle.... imo

 

[Skellington]

Can someone post a link to the archive for these matches?

 

[Derptile]

I don't really find the gifs and pics on TYM that funny, but this is truly golden.

That win, smile, and thumbs up was priceless.

 

[GGA Wafflez]

[Laos_boy]

[Hades]

Holy shit and i thought perfect legends outburst was bad at a major but this... Hes taken it to the next level with that salt.

 

[FrothyOmen]

No words can express the Lols I'm having right now.

 

[trustinme]

how many sandwiches is Sanford going to have to sell in order to pay for another stick?

 

[Konqrr]

God Damn you Mike!! I almost spit Dr. Pepper all over my keyboard seeing this LOL you bastard XD

 

[Lilith]

So, if anyone has seen my MLG stick and how beat up it looks- i am not kidding it was a used gift from sanford. I have lived with him and he does get pretty salty but outside of the arc this usually doesn't happen~ I hope he is alright but this is pretty funny.

 

[ColdBoreMK23]

That decision is going to stick with Sanford for the rest of his life...

#Drumroll

 

[THTB]

These pictures, though.

Really, I do hope things are okay with him, but goddamn it's not even what happened anymore. I'm moreso cracking up at Rico's thumbs up than anything and how everyone is turning it into a meme. That shit was priceless as soon as he did it.

 

[Protagonist_1]

This might be the best TYM thread of the year LOL. And yeah, Rico's thumbs up was priceless, shit was Suave

I used to be a Break regular back when sf4 was played their regularly and we would get 30+ people coming down every tuesday. In order to speed up the process, I would bring 2 dual modded TE arcade sticks so that all of the NY and PA players who showed up without a stick could have something to play with without holding up the bracket waiting to borrow a stick from someone that was already playing. I remember one week Sanford borrowed my stick and lost to a Rufus player, he slammed my stick onto the floor and started ranting about how a fat fuck should not be able to move like that, etc. I was super pissed and it was the last time I ever brought an extra stick or let anyone borrow my stick who I was not super tight with.
