PROPS

Cedric: Thanks for destroying the community and being a rude ass motherfucker.

MF: For not playing you did real good man, glad you could come up and thanks for the tips I got from body by jason.

Yagami: Glad you could make it up, your friends are real chill. Hopefully they can get into this game some more.

Genver: Stop being so hard.

Vicious: Our brows need to combine forces again sometime.

Spman: I'm coming for you.

B:L: I definitely felt some magic in the air talking to you, thanks for the shirt and saving my life from the water bottle you tossed up in the air.

Kingsalmon: I definitely want you play you again some time, nice job making my voldo look scrubby like manta's.

Dr.Dogg: You gotta train up some, I had my shit talk all ready for you and it went to waste.

Lobo: Nice meeting you, you are a chill dude. Hopefully you and shemurmur can combine forces again sometime soon.

Utsuse: Thanks for making me something delicious, also your stories are top tier.
 
congrats to the placers.

I used to really hate hilde but after playing against hilde quite a bit I see a few flaws that can be exploited. Its gonna be like playing my Law against Steve in T5, gotta be solid as fuck.

I had a blast while down there, was crazy seeing so many old school players. Whether or not it was happy or not, it was definitely a big reunion of sorts.

Too many shout outs to give, but NorCal rolled in and repped pretty hard I think.. this only matched by such crazy good competition.. VS, Semi, Utsuse, Lobo, Offbeat, Dr. Tom, Shauno, SpMan, Naomi, B:L among many others ; To the people who arranged, help set up, record and make the trip to Simi Valley -- mad props, and hope to be seeing a lot of you again in the near future.

In other news, I've put up an album with pics from that weekend, among other gatherings -- I've got a few question marks for people I can't identify, otherwise there's a lot of you in there. Good times ~

most importantly, props to "the BEAST that is the RAV4." great stuff happened in that vehicle.
 
waaz up everyone!!! thanks again for the gg's out there in L.A. and congrates to the wineers of the tournament. Cant wait to play in SD regionals and try to wreck house. naomi, gg.s and we have to play more... hit me up when u can.
 
Look, I respect you guys and everything but really... unbeatable? This stuff has been going on since SC4 came out. First Algol, then Kilik and now Hilde. I understand she's a really good character but she is far from unbeatable. Yes the risk / reward is in her favor most of the time. This is the first time many of you have even seen Hilde in action at a tournament level of play, of course this is going to catch people by surprise. Aris did very well for having such little practice against her, and if he played me on a regular basis I can guarantee the matches would look differently than they did in the grand finals.

This kind of attitude is really discouraging and makes me wonder about the people in this community. I am one of the first to admit that she's top, but that is no excuse to act like this after you see me play in person for the first time. Step your game up and learn to deal with this stuff. Get in a lot of practice, know what charges and how long it takes to get each one, know that when a B attack is used I don't have a B charge ready and so on. Maybe if Hilde becomes (Yes becomes, she's not dominating everything and it's still early in the game life span) Super Goddess tier then maybe we can start going down this road. Even with the "Cedric is a skiled player" clause in front of each post it's starting to wear thin.

Congrats on winning, and your post is 100% on point. It's really sad, it just seems like some members of the sc4 scene will try and find a scapegoat for losing no matter what. For serious, Hilde is not the only character in this game who will severely fuck you up for making a mistake or whiffing. Get over it.
 
Whoa whoa whoa.....you mean to tell me you drove the RAV4 all the way down to LA and it actually made it there and back? Now THAT is a shock.....

I was hating on the car's ability the whole way up and back.

In the end I was just as amazed when we got back without trouble. That thing is beastly.
