you didn't earn your spot in the finals.... Anti Static did
stay classy
lol, you're right. There is no way I could have beaten kirbopher to get into the finals. And once again, you fail to mention the fact that j360 basically got cheated out of his money. For the last time, Pig (the tourney organizer) gave the ok for static to play for me against the two people that I could not connect to. I talked to Static beforehand and he understood perfectly. Stop bringing that up like it is a valid point. He didn't covertly use my account to play; it was 100% legitimate. It is funny because some people seem to believe that there is now drama or hype waiting for Dallas. There is no drama... Dink stands no chance of beating me and he knows it, which is why he acted like he did this past weekend.

Pig refunded J360, or at least, that is what was conveyed through the chat.

It is a valid point... because you are screaming about it. You LET static play for you... why didn't you call for a reschedule then? Seems like the logical thing to do. Instead you let static play for you.
Then, the same scenario happens and you call foul. c'mon man. You made your bed the moment you allowed someone else to play in your stead....

I'm sorry, Espio. You and many of your fellow STB members are cool people. But what just happened was the work of a true coward. Anyone that says otherwise is a Dink/STB nutrider.
I have no idea what happened or the circumstances...I was busy with the PSN side, but I am sad that things have gotten to this point. I wish you both good luck at MLG Dallas. You both have been cool to me, so l'll step out now.

YES!
LBSH, WoundCowboy got cheated out of the money because of his internet situation. Noone in the Xbox bracket had a chance vs him

Dink knew this and refused to set the match for a later date

Still, getting to GF with Baraka was no easy feat, So props to Dink for that

Charlie... I did call for a reschedule when Dink came up. I didn't do it the first time because 1) it wasn't my idea and i didn't think of it and 2) the tourney still had a ways to go when I originally had the problem. It would have been unreasonable to try and assemble that many players again at a later date. But when it came down to it, there were only three left and two of us (plus pig) agreed to reschedule, but to no avail. Static won ONE set for me. I went through three or four people before that time. There is no defending your boy in his situation, Charlie. I was only "crying" about Dink's conduct, nothing else. Had he acted like an adult I would be on this thread, giving him props.

Lol smarrgasm, you too? I speak only from past experience against Dink and the characters that he plays. I am not a guy that likes to "pop off", especially against other TYM members. But what's wrong is wrong.

Good Job.

I forgot about this thing completely. Time I remembered, it was the night of it. Haha.

Congrats to winners from both 360 & PS3.

This is that bittersweet moment when people finally start recognizing something you've known for a long time. It's sweet that people finally see Baraka's potential. It's sweet that people might start taking Baraka more seriously, and might even try to pick him up; but it's bitter because there are a few of us who already knew. A few of us who've been shouting at the brick wall of tier lists about Baraka since day 1. We will get lost in this new sea of voices; all proclaiming that they've been playing Baraka since before this tournament. Maybe we'll get lucky, and everyone will just write these wins off as, "an offline warrior beating online warriors, and all of the stuff he did with Baraka only works online."

Overall nice Baraka. You do a lot of stuff I do, like the F4 into throw mixups. If I may make one small suggestion:

Stop.using.spark. It will never trade with anything, and both times J360 punished you for a full combo. ESPECIALLY dont do it up close, that is suicide.

Good shit, will be looking forward to not being the only Raka at MLG Dallas.

Keep using spark. I hit people with it all the time. Whether they're trying to jump backwards or forwards. It's a really big projectile and I stuff jump ins with it all the time.

I get that you're trying to defend wound cowboy here (and I'm not saying this to side with dink, I like both guys), and cowboy is an amazing player, but I don't think you could say no one stood a chance against him. There were a lot of great players in this tourney!

Will not work offline, trust me.

Also will never work up close.

How can you say it will never work up close? I know it will. I do it all the time. It does work offline. Trust me.

If you use it up close, and it gets blocked, you WILL be full combo punished. Why would you use spark when slices has less startup frames and is 0 on block?

Fullscreen after a knockdown Spark is good to stuff wakeup options. Anywhere else, seriously not worth it.
