Battle the begins! :Struggle for clp!

phire — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 05:32:59 +0000

So since we totally blew it last month. We’re going to have to repackage our stuff for March’s random select with some other cool stuff.
In any case we began our ranbat series at playntrade(thanks joe!) it was a strong turn out 40 people despite the less than stellar weather. Later on it cleared up so it wasn’t that bad. There were tons of new faces there which is always good and even some Jersey players came out to grace us. Unique, the stores so far undisputed SC champ ( he was unknown and came back from losers to take it all) showed up which was a surprise, unfortunately lighting doesn’t always strike twice. I apologize that we did not have a camera on hand till the end where Josh achieved Bankai and just dispatched Rahsaan. That was indeed an intense match. There were some other gems scattered in there I just wish I had the cam to capture them. It was good times it’s always fun meeting you guys. I enjoyed my matches,hope everyone did too.

Andre took it all. Surprise surprise!I figured Rahsaan might have taken it he looked really strong in the first few rounds of the tourney but I guess bad match up? Anyway here is the point break down after 1 tourney
1. Andre – 215 CLP
2. NerdJosh – 107.5 CLP
3. Rahsaan – 77.4 CLP
4. Mariodood – 30.1 CLP
everyone else has 1 point.

Thanks to everyone for coming! We’ll start his up with other games too so it’s something fun! If anyone was wondering L.Dubbs was off in tex-ass trying to make it to sbo.

so with out much further delay here are the brackets

Winners winners 2

Losers Losers 2

I’ll update this when a certain someone gets me the dvd/CD.

till the n.

Random Select:Last minute Tourney.

phire — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 06:26:09 +0000

Soo it looks like it’s more filler but it’s cool. We ran a tourney this weekend. Last time we did a tourney only about 20 something people showed up . This run it was about 47/8ish. We were pleasantly surprised by the turn out and even some Soul Caliber players came out to hang out with us. Good stuff. It was pretty good competition and some strong nyc players came out to shine.

How’d yours truly do? Not so good, I need a few more hours in the lab. How’d Jago do ?He placed 3rd, go figure.

This is going to be a tough post because i’ll constantly be editing this post with matches. To hold you over till I’m done you can check out these two + the top

Also add us to myspace / facebook.

Who loves ya baby?

CL gamer sf4 tournament

phire — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 15:22:34 +0000

Sorry that I’m late. My connection at home is trash and these files are massive. I am also a bad person for not writing down who used who. Next tourney i promise I’ll have better notes for the people watching at home.Hopefully you’ll be able to identify your main or the style of play. It’s a mash up in no order. The winner of the tourney was some mysterious gentleman named Chris-fam.

1st and 2nd got 150-100 respectively
we gave away autographed movie posters for the legend of Chun-Li also movie passes to a few players. There were regular posters too!
top 4 got copies of it for PS3

Some CL players played in this,. Jago,Angelcld9 and myself we did ok. I feel that my Cammy needs some work. I’ll get there and give you guys spanks!

enjoy ,

Where do we go from here?

phire — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 00:50:34 +0000

So it’s been a few weeks post sf4 release and for right now I’ve been using Cammy as my main. Now with the news/rumor that they will be releasing the console characters to the arcade(except you Seth) going C.Viper as a main might not be as hard as i thought. I wanted to be ready to play in SBO with an arcade ready character. So if it’s either next year or this one Cammy will be in arcades.I think i’ll definitely pay for another sf4 card, I have one already amongst other things.

I don’t have any videos of me playing viper. I can do some of her tricky stuff but not too much of it. She requires a lot of inputs. My transition to the stick is almost complete(that’s what she said) I can’t really do her stuff on a d-pad. Jump canceling and what not seem to be my major issues. I can land ultras from some situations but not consistently. I need to sit down and spend a day doing inputs and practicing.

Marcus aka bones aka gorillastomp aka phire beats for free, wanted to play me in sf4 so i videotaped some of that. Check this post for updates on how that goes. I’ve played him about 20+ matches maybe rather than upload the 20 game win streak just upload the really good matches. Hindsight is always good stuff isn’t it?

Jago is being worthless as usual so i might be stuck with him, L Dubs has be pretty busy getting ready for final round. I def need to get more offensive firepower. Online play is different from offline (d’uh) in terms of how things go. I forget move lists and set ups in match maybe I’m just getting old.

lots of spanks :3

Random Select Episode 2: Comic Con / Sinsation touranment.

phire — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 05:31:58 +0000

Alright so since we split the team up for this one Justin came in on Friday and played TvC (Tatsunoko Vs Capom) for a few hours against random players and went like 70 and 0, I checked out some various titles too. The big thing for me was Dc universe online. Oh muh Gee, I’ve never really lusted after a PC as I do that title. It was really my first convention that I’ve ever attended and I had boat loads of fun. I lost my voice. Day 2 was Kubuu from Deadly Alliance. We both cos-played. I did Hollow Ichigo from bleach and he had the most epic static shock costume ever. We hung out and took tons of photos with people. I never really cos-played before this year. I think with being black it limits the characters that you can believably do. That’s why I’ve never really did it you know? There’s soo much stuff to cover but most of the good stuff is in the videos already.
Day 3 resident hunks Sin and Chilly came and played Gears of War 2. Not much to be said Sunday was the day the con kinda broke down. and everyone was beat. It was an overall positive experience.. I am kinda sad that we took forever to get this up and this stuff isn’t still even all of the footage. I still have a random DV I found 2 weeks after we dumped the information on to the hard drive. I promise we’ll do better next time. I swear.

So other folk will talk about what went down in some detail..ready go!

Hey guys and gals I know the sinsation article is kinda late but we have been busy with lots of other stuff. The event which was held in Fairfax Va was great and many people came out to enjoy Street Fighter 4 which was sponsored by Perfect Sin who is also the co-founder of Team Kapital. The event consist of many tournaments such as Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Street Fighter 3rd Strike, Guilty Gear Accent Core, HD Remix , and of course Street Fighter 4. There were special exhibitions events such as the 2v2 event such as Iloveujoe/Demon Hyo vs Gootecks/Combofiend, A first to 7 match with Gootecks vs Marn and another first to 7 with Justin Wong vs Combofiend. The Iloveujoe team clutched the win from the west coast army, which lead the east coast believe that “we also can compete” The west coast player, Gootecks answered our statement by destroying Team Kapital member, Marn in the first to 7. Score was 7-1. That was a ouch that was heard all over the hotel. Now the last exhibition event was Justin Wong vs Combofiend. It was very convincing, it could’ve went either way, but the Combo master himself clutched it out with his combo friendly Balrog over Justin’s arsenal of characters such as Chun Li, Guile, and Akuma. Score was 7-5. Now it became 2-1 West Coast. Only thing we could do now is win the touraments which was held at Sinsation. In the Tatsunoko vs Capcom tourney, Combofiend was eliminated early and the finals came down between the two Kapital members, Justin Wong vs Marn. Justin clutched out the win with his Jun/Chun team over the “Unstoppable Team” of Karas/Morrigan. Everyone was going crazy over the match. The Street Fighter 3rd Strike tourney, everyone was getting wrecked by the WC Duo and the only person to stop their tracks was Justin Wong. His Chun Li wrecked everything that the Gooteck/Combo team possibly thought off. In the HD Remix tourney, no one from the West made top 5 and also in GGXX, none of them did either. In the main tourney of Street Fighter 4, the WC duo showed EC why they were a threat. Combofiend lost to Marn and Justin Wong but the lone Gootecks defeated Justin Wong and iloveujoe. It just tells the East Coast that when the next encounter happens in SF4, Team Kapital and other members of the East Coast community will be ready!!!!!

Kinda funny the way I ended up involved with volunteering at Comicon, which eventually lead me to you fine people. Walked into Play n Trade and they were like come help out at the coolest thing ever next weekend. So naturally I was like Heck YES!! I was at Comicon the whole weekend and I was never bored. There was so much shit going on at all times and I loved it. The only thing that sucked was you could easily drop 225$ on a rare only release in Japan, light-up, Iron Man figure. Or in my case spend tons of money on little tiny things like a mini figure of Tifa Lockheart. The point I’m trying to make here is that I was free. Free to be my geekish self. For the first two days I wore the basic t-shirt and jeans. Day one was my Star Wars shirt that got some attention and Day two was Snoopy. But nothing compared to Sunday. I got a whole lot of attention and wandering eyes on Sunday when I put my Halloween costume to use one more time and be Sexy Girl Robin (aka Stephanie, Spoiler). I think the permanent camera flash in my eye really expresses how much people liked my costume. Overall Comicon was kick ass and it definitely opened many opportunities and I made many new friends while bonding on what we do best – geeking it out. Peace.

Here are some of my photos

Hey guys,

Its me Jago (Andre) i am here reflecting on my experience. So let me begin by saying it was one of the most fun experiences i have ever had in my life, we practically lived like kings for 2 days thanks to my friend Matt Aka Hol Dat who gave me room and board in the Marriott hotel where the event took place in.
In the morning we had had a breakfast buffet to gear up for the tourney, then we went back to the room to take our “complementary showers”, after that i headed down to the rooms where they were holding the tourneys, everything was setup well, and this was honestly my actual first major tourney where i entered at least 4 different games, so i was being called back and forth going from game to game, it gets mentally straining so i give alot of props to players who go out there and place high in multiple games.

with out much further adieu the videos!

Random Select:tales from a tuesday night.

phire — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 04:53:32 +0000

So it’s a bit before comic con and it was a Tuesday night. Rockgamer.com (really cool people) invited us to the Village Pour House for some good ol’ fashioned Rock Band. MTV+Harmonix was there. We had some gaffes with the new equipment so we’ll be ironing out some things in weeks to come. Anyway after we jammed out we headed over to the Marriot (spelling error?) for some SF4 with the gents of team Kapitol. Deadly Alliance hung out with us too for some fighting goodness. Just fyi there’s tons of matches to be uploaded.I am just lazy.Since there was no sound I just put the proper song over my ahem rocking vid.
More stuff is going to get uploaded tonight,I can’t find the phire v jago for these matches but jago one so it was 2-1 at this point.

thanks again to Prime Time Productions for the gear.

Keep on rockin baby

Smart gamer – Stupid gamer

admin — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 16:46:28 +0000

What makes a smart gamer, how do you classify one? Is it thier ability to adapt, counter the player, the character or just flat out understand the game mechanics better then anyone else.
Well here is my take on things. A smart gamer always adapts within short periods of time and they always fights the player first, character second. I do not believe knowing game mechanics add much to player smarts, as we have seen in history players can branch into different genres and make an immediate impact all because of there adaptivity.
A stupid player on a short note is one who never seeks answers, never thinks outside the box. They will continue to fall for the same setups, gimmicks, tricks, will always fight your character and never understand why he loses even in a bad match up. In short he is an ass player who has to be taught rather then have at least a bit of common sense all on his own.

I am not saying anything is set in stone, so i don’t know what is your definition of a smart gamer?

Who will be top when Street fighter 4 hits console

admin — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 05:29:39 +0000

Street fighter 4 is a generation changing game, and when it hits for console you gotta wonder who are the players that are going to be at the top of the food chain, will it be Japan, europe, America (sorry other geographical places get no burn). Well this is just all speculation right now but if all goes well and Xbox live works ( yes folks i have no faith in PS3 online mode for SF4 i suggest you sell your PS3 for an HD TV to witness capcoms beauty in style) like it has proven in the past then this would officially change the fighting game community forever.

Take a moment to think about how many people know about Street fighter, even my mom know’s what Street Fighter is (she even has a favorite character) , once this game releases people who do not even play games competatively are going to purchase it, so get ready because the guy sitting on the train across from you might be that randomjohnnydonutsxx16 that just scrape you lasts night online.
