Where do I get one of these jobs? lol

lol, having your own office (with ability to close the door and surf the internet) kicks ass. I am a professional time waster, which is why I post here so much even though I often bill 200+ hours a month

 

[IrishMantis]

Thanks for the Tag I love this Podcast will listen when going to bed

 

[aieches]

Where do I get one of these jobs? lol

haha yeah where i work now i run a uv printer , lamitator, and zund cutter- so i spend a lot of time queuing jobs on the computer before i do the manual labor work . its a lot of work, but lucky for me - when i job pages for the machines, i have to send files that are like 6-10 gbs each. while the files transfer, im pretty free to roam the web. plus we can were headphones here as long as we do our job..

 

[Rearawt]

I swear to god if kp2 comes out on pc delayed or not at all I'm gonna flip

 

[Phosferrax]

@UsedForGlue lol

 

[jharris]

good listen as usual. thanks

 

[Scott The Scot]

You don't see Cassie much for a reason man. She needs buffs, lots of them.

 

[iSuckAtFightingGames]

I listened to the MP3 version... but you should just wack a ton of match footage in the video version.

 

[aieches]

 

[xZoro]

Ill give it a listen on teh way to my girlfriends in the morning. Good looking topics i must say.

 

[Phosferrax]

We really should try putting match footage in.

 

[Scott The Scot]

JTB will cry at the render and upload time lol.

 

[IrishMantis]

Nail in the head with the Twins on the last topic

I'm beating people who use to destroy me in MK9 because I only started understanding fundementals near the end of its life

And I know these fuckers are kicking and repeating to themselves that "they are the better player, because I'm using scrub tactics in a scrubby game" I know this because I ask them what to do they think of the game they say "it's good" then when I win "it's a terrible game that rewards you on luck" lol

 

[PunkMafia83]

Looking forward to this. Cheers.

 

[aieches]

once again good stuff guys. covered said topics very well. .. plus if BRC has a super vulgar fart laced variation im completely pointing the finger @ Ketchup .

[JTB123]

JTB will cry at the render and upload time lol.

My internet is baller bruh

Putting match footage wouldn't be hard, but it would require the footage existing to begin with lol

 

[iSuckAtFightingGames]

true... but I hear you guys play the game now and then... .. .

 

[STRYKIE]

Good discussion as always guys.

As much as I was happy to see Gabe make top 8 and make waves there, one thing that really made me happy for him was that he took out a bunch of good players along the way, most notably, Mitsuownes, I say this because I believe this was his first win against a Scorpion in a competitive capacity having been previously hampered by JTB's Hellfire, Hollow's Inferno and my Ninjutsu.

I also prefer the wake-up system in this game as I think it brings the game closer towards an equal playing ground and gives NRS more flexibility to envision certain moves without worrying how stupid they would be on wake-up.

I'm surprised Erron Black wasn't mentioned in characters never destined to get respect....

There are a lot of bills sold about Shinnok, but it does work both ways, as it happens I may have something interesting to hell about the current Hellspark MB metagame but it's still a WIP I'm looking into... As far his mixup post-mimicry go, I don't think people mean the overhead is reactable per se, but where his other options are so fast, you come to realize if you havent been tagged by them yet, the only threat left IS the overhead.... I would dare say the situation would actually be more intimidating if he had a SLOWER low to work with.

I'm gonna play devil's advocate and say I wanna see someone take the plunge with Spectral Ermac. Ermac players talked a big game about MOS being ruined by the removal of OSs, when Spectral is much safer anyway. Don't like the execution barrier? Put up or shut up.

And anyone who dares to "talk shit" about Bo' Rai Cho... let me just say... be careful what you wish for... if you get my drift.

It wasn't my first win against a Scorpion in competition but it was probably the one that meant the most. ln the past I have been free to Mitsuownes in ranked and a prior ESL week so winning that match definitely helped my confidence.

@STRYKIE Erron is an interesting choice actually, surprised we didn't think of him.
