The saltiest I have gotten playing this game was yesterday at a local tournament and not for the reasons you might expect either.
I won the tournament but I was pissed. Why, you ask? Because the 18 - 19 year old kid that beat me at a tourny 2 weeks ago was there and the little bitch decided not to enter at the last second.
Here's a recap of what went down.
- 2 weeks ago I lose in grand finals to the kid's Kang
- During those 2 weeks leading up to yesterday's tourny, I hit the lab HARD. I made my execution better, I learned the best ways to punish his character mistakes, I went in and learned how to use his character so I could see what his weakness were, and really just preparing over all.
- Friday night are causals at Cal Poly. He was there and we had a After we set up started having a few sets which he won a majority of because I had to use a pad instead of my stick, which I was cool with.
- Saturday Morning is the Tourny. I get to the location early to start setting up for the Tournaments that day ( I am one of the T.O's) . About 15 minutes after I get there the other T.O arrives as well as the Kid that beat me and we start helping get the rest of our equipment in. While doing this he makes some cocky smart ass remarks, the one that stood out was "I hope your prepared"
- After getting everything setup, people start getting in some causals before the tourny began. Well he wanted to play me in a few matches so I obliged. Today, though, I had my stick.....
- I only used my main (reptile) when he wanted to fight him. I used Kang, Raiden, Sub, and Noob the rest of the times. Well he didnt win a match against my reptile and had a hard time with my secondary fighters as well. He used Lao, Cage, Kang, and Cyrax.
- He only gave my Kang trouble with his cyrax. so after he won a couple matches as cyrax he wanted to try him against reptile. well we played 2 matches in which he lost and that was the end of causals.
- Then as role call for the tourny begins everyone notices that the kd that WON the last tourny was not entered. He said I'm not entering because " I can't beat him today so I'm not entering"
I was PISSED, I mean he fucking won the last tourny and he was going to be entering in this tourny before casuals and then he Bitched out.
