Cedric I want you to know that I am in no way saying you are not good at calibur. I don't play this game, I don't like it, I don't think I ever will but I wanted to run it 'cause I knew there is a community for it but we really didn't have any majors going on in our area at all.
Regardless of all that, I think you're a very good player and I wouldn't take anything away from you - my only beef is that the character you play in my very honest opinion looks to be one of the most broken 3d fighting game characters of all time. ive played ttt with kim bong min and mdj, ive played t4 with mdj and jrlime, ive played t5 with mdj and beat his 5.0 steve in tourney, ive played t5dr with qudans and all these players have ALWAYS taken advantage of playing the best characters in the game they played. Up until now, I've never thought a character was more upsetting to have to watch OR play against. This is also coming from someone who played tekken 4 all the time vs Stringbean which at the time was imo the best defensive character ever to be in a 3d fighting game. I may not play your game, but I can easily see what is wrong with it. I can still very obviously tell you are great at soul calibur, but I do believe for you to keep up the kind of results you're getting with hilde but with another character you'd have a much harder time.
hilde has the safety of t4 steve with the damage potential of t5 steve
i dont mean to offend you, im very happy you all came out to my tournament and im happy we could atleast all get hype. just wanted to clarify my view on it.
also anyone telling any of the socal players to "step it up" needs to think about what theyre saying. its like youre forgetting socals soul calibur history. shauno, devil x, aris and tietyt have been repping high level play since sc2 days. dont ever try to discredit those people.
thats basically it.
edit: tomahawk i was there for bebops hype, he is on some other shit and i love that nomatter what day it is at denjin he is going to be getting hype. even if im just sitting behind the counter and he wants a drink he gets hype. guy is a thug.
