nie, dwlding all matches.

in all honesty, only thing that matters to me is that this year (hopefully) I'll play all Venezuela guys and we'll have the time of our lives :D
it's great to watch matches from all over the world, and such things as best in tha world mk, doesn't matter for me.
on a side note, I'm definitively not the best in Colombia. few people beat me overall, but they do beat me lol. so, I don't consider myself the best over here...

post the rest of the matches and pics (!) as soon as you can. nice stuff

pedro, rodhick: chill out! play me in november and we'll show the matches too! latin pawa!! xD

Guys, you really gotta chill out with this "world" crap, it happens everytime someone mentions it and you both say the exact same thing.
Is not that man. Really It seems very one sided when you guys say "best of the world" when only a "handful" of US players were there.

and honestly, who in South America has played vs as many people as I have? Remember I've been playing since 1995,
I wasnt going to answer this but im playing since SF2 the world warrior competitively, sure we cannot even compare the level US players have at this game but man here ppl play Tekken, KOF, MK, SF, heck even Primal Rage had a little scene here that lasted like 3 years. Again this is off topic.

I suggest you check out the videos, and see how Crazy makes short work of me in our matches, and then decide whether or not he deserves to be considered one of the best.
No offense but yes! He gets the crap out of you but that was expected here. you play too defensively man. BTW we here said that Crazy has the most "Venezuelan" NW we have ever see out here and if you can analize vids like me you will see a lot of similarities between his style and ours. (Even when Lex says that vids prove nothing...no offense PUTTA!)

There is a specific element to their game that I have never seen in any South America videos.
What could it be? I feel courious about this.

Do you expect US players to fly out to a localized tournament in Venezuela that doesn't represent a fraction of the scope or degree of competition as this?
No man I dont expect that. We will be holding if God allows it the first South Amwerican UMK3 tourney and we will invite any US or worldwide player that wanna come. Here we will pay for your food and hostage. You will only need to pay your travel over here guys and a small entry fee. It will be mostly a friendly tourney or gathering.

Don't be discouraged
Never man.

I want to fly you guys out here once it is possible for me to do so, I'll even try and get a translator, but the main idea is, you have to come here to be recognized, you can't just yap about it on a website, and I hope you back up all you say.
man we hope that too! Dont bring a translator RZP and I speak english a bit so it would not be as hard. Also Shock and anyone who wants to come keep in mind that you will feel at home here only with hotter temperature and lots of cute girls walking everywhere you look.

We would love to fly ver there but most ppl dont realize the difficult situation for us venezuelan citizens are going thru. Its different for tourist but for us to get out of here is like God shaking the Devil hand and being friends. harder I will say.

thx Bob Dole for your comment.

to Scheisse:

It is an American made game to begin with. From Chicago, where the best players live...
Man this is very off topic or out of place! MVC 2 is a japanese game and US rules at it! Not the same with the other Capcom games...

if you are at the right distance, and you jump towards them at any point you will be aaHP and combo'ed. Something that I haven't seen much of in your match vids, if any that were intentional.

00"16, 00"57, 01"30, 02"45, 03"24, 04"40, and i stopped counting...

Like 85% of his jumps were punished either by a combo or a RH or whathever aa you can think of. No offense but its like you only watched one or two vids and then make that statement.

On topic:

Guys great quality of the footage! What camera were you guys using? And what players used the stick to play? For example you Shock or Mach or Crazy?

Please dont take this post as a flame answer or bait guys. Its really what I said before. It sounds really one sided to claim someone "best of the world" or wathever and not only at UMK...at any shit: Baseball, Soccer, SF, Etc. It doesnt bug me or anything but its just one sided. Imagine for a second we made that tourney and for example a random player.....Konqrr (it was random) fly to Venezuela and lose in the UMK3 tourney. Can we say that we beated USA best player? Can we say that we are better than all US players? NO. Because being Konqrr all the good he is in any MK game still were other players that WERENT at it. Its the same there guys.

nice match vids. wish i was there to cause a ruckus ;\

anyways, i just wanted to say that from the videos presented, the pacing of crazy's play isin't very quick. i mean from what ive seen, once the game reaches that extremely fast pace, crazy would probably fold. venezuela shows that they can handle the high level pacing, while crazy tends to be a bit minimal and defensive, which will get you in trouble real quick.

shock im suprised your reptile offense vs. crazy's kabal didnt include any invis, or something other than HPLP spam for the pop up. *smack*

I just woke up lol, moved all the vids to the right folders incase you get stuck DLing.

About MvC2, there are separate scenes and combined scenes in the US and Japan for this, and many other games. At evo, the two major players are Sandford and Justin Wong. Justin Wong is a world wide recognized player as the best, and he lives in New York City. I've met him about a dozen times, he's even walked in on me in a one person bathroom before. :oops:

You guys missing out on Evo this year is no different than say, Lex not showing up in the sense that, this is where you go to represent. It might be held in the US, but the whole tournament is held all over the country with qualifying rounds to get to the big tournament in Las Vegas. It's insane, and unfortunately I think this first stop is the only one that will have UMK3 unless I can talk to people who live in other areas.

As for my playing, it was awful all night except casuals.

Just got done watching most videos and I thought they were good. Looking at a particular one between Shock (C-Sub) vs. Cheatinass (Kabal) I noticed at the end where Shock does the fatality on him the guy presses start and was about to exit game. I guess he is used to quitting early like on Live huh? :lol: :lol:

playing Moe, their jks wouldn't even form before they got aaHp'ed.
Maybe that player was the one who wasnt trying enough. LOL to be hitted on a "non formed" JK the other player must have done the attack at the very wrong distance/height and also Scheisse thats not possible for all characters to acomplish. I doubt that setup can be made for example Sonya aa Hp to Kabal or Kano JK... Really.

Again nice vids and thank about the stick info Shock. So there were 2 sticks at least?

Non formed JK aaHPing is when the person might not actually be going for a straight on JK, it's when they leave the ground and get knocked out on the way up before the peak, which is more psychic than countering. I do it to people on XBL when I cannot time natural ones.
