[hobbes8548]

[AdverseSolutions]

[strakka]

And you people try to argue that Marvel isn't dead.

[TFGM]

Very well, your retirement is noted and will be take affect immediately. Hail

YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNN! :badboy: You have one more mission then you can retire.

[Chupacabra]

Try winning Evo for a number of years in a row and winning in majors throughout the country year after year.

That being said, congrats on your victory and retirement. Its just a bit arrogant and smug to say youve done everything possible in the game.

[The Mullah]

and please respect my decision. Don't ask me questions online or in person,


:rolleyes:
reality check .

[fishjie]

???

Did Justin Wong finally get de-throned?????

someone fill me in here

[Agmaster]

Who are you?

[DragonSama]

Well congrats on your retirement. Does this mean you retired from Marvel only or did you retire from all tourney games? In any case I give him 6 months before he is back smoking the sweet crack that is MVC2. (A crack that has finally hooked me)

[lung]

Good luck Sanford, hope you keep playing other fighting games. Good job on your victory and I hope to run into you one day at a tournament hapily revisiting your fond MVC2 memorys.

:karate: :clap: :karate:

[Smokey]

Haha whaa u still havent beaten Row man? but oh well I guess youve been around for so long good shit Sandford

[Golba loves]

Try winning Evo for a number of years in a row and winning in majors throughout the country year after year.

That being said, congrats on your victory and retirement. Its just a bit arrogant and smug to say youve done everything possible in the game.
ditto....

[VietKhan]

ill be impressed if sanford quits right now being that his fame is at its highest peak since he beat wong. maybe if they stop having ECC and EVO, then sanford might quit for lack of incentive..otherwise u can expect to see him around

[Ill E]

Guys just to let you know, I'm done in marvel officially. I did everything possible in the game. I'm [b]RETIRED!

Well, big props to ya for all you did in marvel and props for beating Justin at ECCX. :karate: That quote up there sounds just like Jordan in 1993/94 when he retired the 1st time, back when he said that basketball was like a rollercoaster he was getting bored of because he was riding it over and over.

[Dasrik]

Congratulations, you were able to beat some people in a video game.

[JIVE TURKEY JONES]

Contrary to alot of the faggotry and belief on this board, Jwong is human. So, I'm sure that means he can't win em' all. I loathe Jwong fanboys like the next man, but I'm no hater either. I'm not shitting my pants if he loses, and I'm completely unaware when he wins. I don't pay attention to Marvel. But I am aware of EVO. I find it pretty brash to say one has accomplished everything in the game, when they haven't even won EVO... once. Yet, the guy they just beat wins EVO consecutively. You've accomplished a few steps on the staircase of Marvel, don't get delusional.

Jive Out!

[Korean Jordan]

Congratulations, you were able to beat some people in a video game.lol. sup Dassie!

Sanford, quit marvel. Get your life together. Get in school. Stop making these threads. Just disappear. Ignore the haters. You've done all you can. Time to let go.

....and out of all the people that posted something hating santhrax decision your the only one sensible enough to understand the true purpose behind why he wants to retire for now. He needs time to sort somethings. Many people sit here and bash Santhrax about his personal life saying Marvel has taken his life over. Putting him in the Trinity of marvel of people who's lives have been consummed by Marvel. As for his accomplishments in the Game...He has done everything. Marvel has transcended beyond the game, the game is Justin Wong. While all of you have been playing MVC2, he has been playing the god of the game. He has beating god 3 times. Once in a local tournament which was written off by the community, and twice in the same tournament at the East Coast Major. Its not the equivalent of the Marvel God Justin 4 time champion but its better than all the marvel players in the world combined!

As a Teacher, Justin has even gone beyond his godhood (metaphor people, don't take the word serious) he has proven with out a doubt that he is a master. His student has conviencingly showed him that he is capable of defeating the master. Marvelous is done himself. Not to say that the game has died, but to say that there is nothing more that he himself can do. Marvel can now only be saved by you guys "THE PLAYERS"! Marvelous and Santhrax have set, reset, and re-resetted, the bar of excellence in that game. Step your game up and give them a breather.

As for Santhrax permenant retirement, there is no definant time line to it. However he needs time away with his accomplishment to understand not to become attached to it. He needs to learn to be humble, and walk away even at his height of accomplishment. Something sadly that Jwong wasn't wise enough to do...and that may be his fault in decision but the scenes fault in pushing him to his limit. I told him to step down while he is that far, no man is truly a god, he will fall, and the higher you go....the longer the fall. Santhrax is satisfied with his height, and you all should respect that.

In the future, Marvel will get his shot back at Santhrax, but it will not be under this communities influence. I will need to speak to them both about it and come to a conclusion that they can both agree too and keep them both level headed about it. So please just lean up a bit give the man room to breathe. Stop putting words in Jwong's ear about getting him back at EVO. And marvelous....do not let this get to you. MVC2 is not your life. Temperment young god. Remember the story about Lu bu, do not look at this as death, it is rebirth. Let time take it course and you will rise out from that and become something greater than what you are. You know these guys are going to hate and say all this crap about "What the fuck is the moron talking about." "Jesus Christ Triforce STFU with this Emperor garbage talk." But you and I both know Marvelous what I am talking about. I warned you of the very samething...and look it came to past, I know it is going to be hard but let time take its course. You'll make it out. Besides we'll talk in detail later anyway. Hail.

Hail Bronson...and you should take Marvel.

See...its post like that, which makes you people full of it. Think about it...your on a videogame site trying to make fun of someone beating someone in a videogame. That in itself makes you a hypocrite. If you feel that he is wasting his time, then you get off this site yourself. (Awaiting stupid response to bash)

Its not making fun of anyone its just stating a fact. He beat some people in a video game. Nothing offensive about it unless you want to take it like that.

[Korean Jordan]

do you have disabilities to comprehend written facts? no one is hating on sanford. no one has said anything negative about his win or about him in general. when I beat Wong in the team tournament and EC people were playing it off as a fluke or blaming msp for countering team row now that was hate. this is not hate. he came off as if the game has nothing more to offer him and hes done everything there is to do as he put it. people are disagreeing with it. to assume it as hate and turn it into something its not is dumb. dont turn sanford into the victim. sympathy should be natural not forced. the fact is, sanford has never been to EVO. wong is the only one who comes close to having done everything you can possibly do in the game. I dont know how much marvel you guys play but you guys must evolve your lives around it if one needs to "retire" from the game to be productive in life. I play hoops once a week you dont see me "retiring" and never playing ball to continue with my school and work not to mention family and gf. TFGM didnt you say sanford is retiring from "tournament play"? I guess this means he will play casually (which I know he will). casual games take up waaaay more time than tournaments which are like once a month? it just doesnt make sense. no one has questions to ask for why he is doing this and that. play or dont play who gives a shred of damn. good shit on getting 1st but this shit is unecessary. Viscant is right about the game being dead and thistype of thing is one of the reasons why.

[TFGM]

Okay..nothing offensive, then my I go out and put this out there. Why state a undisputable fact, that no one here has questioned? Not an arguement...just a question. :smile:

As for Korean Jordan. No he is not retiring from Marvel to lead a productive life. He is just temporarily stepping out of the spot light for a bit to gather himself. Not everyone can be compared to others. Maybe Santhrax needs time to structure himself...maybe not. However that is for none of us to say. As for casual play, that is all a matter of opinion. Santhrax rolling through china town and he stops by to say hi to his friends and then he plays a couple of causual games is what it is. Now some people may not play a few, and may play a few. Casual is casual there is no designated time frame. I was not making this out to be bad, my statement was in regards to those who said something bad about Santhrax and his decision to retire. If you read the other pages you will see who I am talking about.

Nah I dont take it offensive, its the internet.

I just said I agreed with what Dasirk said because imo I just think people are making alittle to big of a deal out of this. No more no less. Yes Sanford was a good Marvel player but the bottomline is its still just a video game and in the US doesnt really matter all that much. Personally its better for him to play it less if his life isnt in order, there are things more important then marvel.

That entire statement goes without saying and no one here disagrees. That is why I am asking you why is it being said. It is like you make a statement that the sky is blue and then I reply to you "Well its just the sky, no big deal we all have families to take care of jobs to do, and more constructive things in society that needs to be done rather than talk about the sky, here on a weather message board." See how hypocritical that comes off as?

If the point of your statment is the point...my point is we know that already thank your for telling us the obvious.

No not really I dont see anything hypocritical about it. Just stating that I agree, people are making to big of a deal about it. If no one disagrees then why are people making a big deal out of it.Obviously someone does and its not a mute point.

[ninja sentinel]

This is the 98989898 time Sanford said he would retire after a major tourney.

Alex Valley retired (or semi-retired) a long time ago and has never made a big deal out of it.

[OrangeCat]

You know what? The sky is blue...but you know that's alright because we all have more constructive things to do. Afterall this is a VIDEOGAME msg board on the INTERNET. Ultra Rip it up show whoa whoas. You're a write-off.

LOL HAY GUYZ, I NOTICED THIS THREAD IS FULL OF ARROGANCE, SO I THOUGHT I'd ADD TO IT, SO HERE.

[quiche]

people still play marvel?

[Xenozip.]

Congratulations, you were able to beat some people in a video game. Always so much negativity. Smile once in a while. :smile:

[Storming Flower]

if sanford kelly and justin wong truly retire, and never return to mvc2.

would they become legends years from now, such as the mystery of thomas osaki and tomo ohira, (who truly was the best sf player back in the day? there is still controversy when people talk about it) and will the number 1 spot be clouded in mystery? imo, sanford is number 1 right now. he's smart by retiring now on top, duc and valle came back and now are not number 1. i must tell my children these stories, so marvel will not die.

p.s. imo, justin is goku, but sanford is not vegita, he's more like cell or majin buu, cuz he xcopies stuff and combines it into himself to form the ultimate power. sanford is like a combination of all marvel players powers, row,soo, david,etc.

i do see soo's point that there was no need to make this thread, unless your lives revolve around it, and you want some attention. but anyway...

[saroorhai]

I just started with Marvel(believe it or not, all the deadness debating sparked my interest), but even I know who JWong is. Gratz to Mr.Sanford on beating him at his game.

[Dasrik]

I wasn't being negative, I was merely stating a fact. This isn't someone who saved the world here, this is a man who sought to be the best at a video game, in exclusion of pretty much all else. Should it matter? Sure... but keep some perspective here. This is a game, a game people play for fun. Winning is nice, but when it becomes the focus of your life, a time for reassessing what's important is in order.

That's all I had to say, and pretty much all I ever had to say since I came to SRK.

[supermin]

yo guys i wanted to chip in too and say i am the smartest on the internet and i have important things to say as well

props to sanford for ecc for real tho

[dogface]

Well Sanford should beat Justin, I mean, Justin did teach him how to play.

If anything, this just goes to show how amazing Justin is, to train someone that would go on to defeat him.

But retiring right now is dumb IMO, because the top two MvC2 players at EVO will walk away with over a thousand bucks.

[lung]

I really hate this so what you won in a video game speak that is on here. I hate that kind of attitude, beacause when you think like that it really feels to me..... then why the hell even post on here? If video games are just stupid little entertainment then why even waste you time on this forum, how about doing something constructive that you don't see as "just a game". The obvious reason is that people enjoy it, and it becomes more than just fun and a passion. I think that having a passion and enjoying yourself doing something ,(especially something not only aesthetically appealing but mentally challenging as gaming), is just as important as having some big expensive job and all that bullshit. Who wants to live some life dug deep into an ant hill just writing off the funny coloration of the leaves from time to time. Hope you all understand what im saying.

Dethrone justin at evo, your our only hope!!

[JohnnyEight]

Hey, TFGM, I am curious about something. How many hours per week Sanford was playing before the retirement? What about his most intense training period (year, couple months, whatever)? And what about Wong?

[nothingxs]

Guys just to let you know, I'm done in marvel officially. I did everything possible in the game. I'm RETIRED! Triforce Endorse my post please. and please respect my decision. Don't ask me questions online or in person, if anyone has any questions please talk to Triforce about it.

Sorry, you have to win Evo for that to happen!

[J.D]

Hey
We should all follow sanfords example and get a life
he will know get a gf, get a job, gett married and stuff

unlike tons of people here
he is finally getting a real life

too bad my mind is too sick to leave video games at this particular moment

good luck president

[N-Ken]

I cant believe Im saying this, but Tri Force is hella on point here, Why are people coming in to a thread on a GAMING message board then trying to dismiss what he's saying like "oh its just a videogame"? That really doesnt make any sense, and there's no conceivable reason to do that. If I walk up to a red sox fan after they won the series and say "congratulations, your team hit a ball" not even saying its untrue, but what point does it serve? Nothing other than being a douche really. Besides the fact that if we're trying to challenge others hobbies or whatever, then Das your obsessed with Fetish porn stories, is that more important than winning at a videogame? Reading about other people molesting feet?

And people keep talking about evo, this was the Main Event in marvel for the year, there wont be as many of the marvel all stars for evo as there were for ECC. Sanford has done everything, this is a fairytale ending for him, good shit Mr. President, have a good rest.

[**Skimitar**]

uhh...First beat Row.. :clap: and then I hear you need to win EVO .. :nunchuck:
Then you are God's Son :lol:


Win EVO 1st Foo :arazz:
I'm not sure that can Happen tho..

:china:

[Dios <-X->]

I wonder what would happen if sanford went to evo and won it all on the big screen, after he wins, they show marvel clips and highlights during the past 5 years with some sad piano music and shit, everyone wll cry now that marvel is finally over ;__;

[TFGM]

This is some real sad shit right here.... The guy wins at the break, the people say not good enough beat him at a major tournament, he goes to a major tournament and win in two different types of tournament matching head to head with Justin at a Major, you now say beat him at Evo. You say beat Row and he eat the guy who beats row which is Jmar, what do you want from him. In fact... you get a fucking life and stop trying to tell someone how to handle theirs. Santhrax is taking a break, that is what his retirement is about. Taking a break and looking at other aspects of his life. He wants to do other things, play other games without the pressure of marvel looming over him. "Oh you have to beat Justin at Evo" when the hell did a place determine the validility of winning against a person? Are you people kidding me? I got plans for Marvelous and Santhrax, and in order for this to work they must take a break. So deal with the retirement until futher notice. Deal with it.

Someone said something about retiring from a videogame...just so it can be corrected, he is not retiring from the game....just from the tournament aspect of it.

[WasFemto]

Retiring from a videogame?


That's what I'm saying. I've seen other "I'm retiring" threads or "Why did [insert name here] retire?!?!?" threads and always thought :wtf:

[AudioProject]

Congratulations, you were able to beat some people in a video game.

LOLOLOL. im kinda impressed hearing that from you dasrik cuz i was under the impression games were u and ur bros' lives cuz u guys played so much.

IMO sanford doesn't have to win evo imo to prove anything now. He beat justin in two seperate marvel tournies at ecc. Altho his tourney record isnt nearly as impressive as justins its still safe to say that if he ran through justin, who else is there that might come to evo that sanford has to prove himself against? Cuz Justin was the king of the mountain, period.

[denjin]

Sanford: Dude, I want trophies.
Wong: Yeah, I can set something up. Which do you want?
Sanford: EVO of course!
Wong: Shut the fuck up! No way! Here, you can have these other ones.

This is the 98989898 time Sanford said he would retire after a major tourney.

Alex Valley retired (or semi-retired) a long time ago and has never made a big deal out of it.

yea, but valle still comes to big tournaments like MWC and Evo. i think it's extremely difficult to quit something that has been such a big part of your life for so many years, so straight up going cold turkey and posting that you're done will be difficult to actually accomplish. especially when a lot of your friends still do it all the time.

but congratulations sanford. i know what you're trying to do, you're trying to win CVS2 at evo, lol. ratio-4 C-ken fucking everybody up.

shit analagy

Because after you become a famous athlete, you put food on the table and get to provide well for a family. you have status in real life and can be positive influence on kids etc.

making a thread about quitting playing marvel is fine, thanking people for their support would be great. acting as if you're a celeb and asking people not to ask questions just screams delusional fool.

also - i dont know why power glove is laughing :shake:, everytime he talks about his fanclub i feel strange in the same way you do when you read of a teenage suicide cult. sickos

no it doesn't. would you want 850 ppl bugging you on aim or yahoo every 5 seconds asking you why you quit, then when evo comes around the same ppl plus a few more asking if you are going to attend?

and Triforced laughed at what random said, cuz it was funny, regardless of how untrue it is, its still funny as hell.

Putting him in the Trinity of marvel of people who's lives have been consummed by Marvel...... [QUOTE]

Hey, arent you the guy who wears a powerglove to majors?? :tup:
is that a boost civic in your av? I can't see clearly.

[Sabin]

The Mullah (and others) are just haters, straight up.

Instead of everyone else hating and saying "it's just a videogame", we should all be congratulating Sanford on finally dethroning Justin. Lord knows if someone from the WC was the first to beat Justin we'd never hear the end of it, foos wouldn't be saying "oh, he beat someone at a videogame, big deal."

[iMPULSZE]

See...its post like that, which makes you people full of it. Think about it...your on a videogame site trying to make fun of someone beating someone in a videogame. That in itself makes you a hypocrite. If you feel that he is wasting his time, then you get off this site yourself. (Awaiting stupid response to bash)
Hey, aren't you the guy who wears a Powerglove to majors?? :tup:

[N-Ken]

shit analagy

Because after you become a famous athlete, you put food on the table and get to provide well for a family. you have status in real life and can be positive influence on kids etc.

making a thread about quitting playing marvel is fine, thanking people for their support would be great. acting as if you're a celeb and asking people not to ask questions just screams delusional fool.

also - i dont know why power glove is laughing :shake:, everytime he talks about his fanclub i feel strange in the same way you do when you read of a teenage suicide cult. sickos

So suddenly playing a game becomes important when millions start watching? When you start making more money? Its still a game, if you're saying its ok to be obsessed with a game when its a popular game but its nerdy when its underground then you're a hypocrite, the point doesnt stand. Besides the fact that not even close to all athletes are family men, they go out and use their money to buy shit they dont need, drugs, what have you. Sanford asks people not to ask about it because he knows what realistically is going to happen, and he doesnt want to spend hours answering the exact same shit on aim. Just because you dont think people would do that doesnt mean it doesnt happen.

And yeah, the only difference between baseball and Marvel is that baseball is popular and marvel isnt, which is directly related to a purse. Its funny how if you're making millions taking a game seriously you're a champ, an idol, a hero, etc. But when your making thousands and taking it seriously your an antisocial looked down upon nerd.

[TFGM]

TFGM, why did you skip my question? I am just trying to see what lvel of commitment is necessary to be on their level (asides from their amazing natural skills, of course). Thanks for any help !

Oh opps...I apologize for skipping that question. To be very honest with you even with myself, it doesn't matter what Genre of game it is, it is not always the amount of time you put in, but what you learn in the time that you put in. Meaning, there is no set time or various lenghts of hours that determine anything. I watch other guys in the Empire put in an entire weekend practicing, just to learn nothing, then go over to Justin's house and watch him play for about an hour and learn some new beastly move or combo and he's done. Even with myself, there are games that I had to put in over 100 hours to master and there has been games that I have picked up and mastered or somewhat mastered right off the back. It all depends on the person.

However it works out, we as gamers just try to find the time to practice and refine what we know in the game like any hobby, job, etc. Hope that answered your question.

Opps....I just re-read your question just to find out that I didn't answer it. As for Marvelous and Santhrax....believe it or not, they surpassed that level sometime last year...they did not even practice, they are too busy trying to get into Tekken Hardcore. The only thing I remember from them both was the thursday before ECC, they said that they would head to CTF and or at the break in a couple of money games play people and shake the rust off and they should be good for the tournament. That is my word.

[TFGM]

also - i dont know why power glove is laughing :shake:, everytime he talks about his fanclub i feel strange in the same way you do when you read of a teenage suicide cult. sickos

Now we are about to have a class on, Moron's who try to make other people look bad. Note...some people actually knows TFGM and know that what he is doing online in terms of the way he speaks is simply for entertainment purposes, or to actually just piss people off. While some who are not aware just write off TFGM as a idiot who has nothing better to do, this guy
:tdown: Mullah actually is bothered and thinks of TFGM as a cult of teenage suicides....How did he get this from a guy who has an organization of videogamers? The real question is...who is the real person crazy, a guy who wears a powerglove and promotes unity in the gaming community going out with the same gamers he promotes to tournaments and have fun with them, or a random guy online who only hears of a guy with a powerglove and feels strange the sameway he feels when he reads about suicide teenagers....

The real question is...why is this guy reading about suicide teenagers?

[TFGM]

~Born to Play~

Well for what it is worth, its foolish to even compare what happens in this community with anything period. I could care less about other socially accepted activities and what others say. I will be the first to say I could give a damn about people thinking of us as "geeks" and or "nerds" soon eveyrone will be playing videogames. In fact there are videogame companies who are working on ways to insert the mainstream in the videogame culture so that they can finally accept videogames as social activity much like how Television was accepted. So its just a bunch of hypocrisy and so forth. If you think that Santhrax is a looser for retiring Marvel, because its just a game, then count me in as a loser two...wait...I bet you already did that. No problem fine, only one thing to say about that, and that is please accept my humblest "Fuck You!" and have a nice day. :pleased:

lol, that was rubbish. next time you ask a rhetorical question, say it outloud first.

"hmm , who's more crazy sounding, a grown man who wears a nintendo power glove and preaches video game unity to the same players hel ike to go out and have fun with (?), or a guy who thinks he's strange for doing so?"

lol, i thought the real question was who was crazy, and for the record, i dont think you're an idiot, i think you're strange, and i dont read up on cults, its common knowledge, i know about it in the same was as i hope you do... :confused:

and sabin - i'm not a hater, i respect great video game skills, i dont respect attributing great importance to them.

[AudioProject]

First off, it's all about the women.

So suddenly playing a game becomes important when millions start watching? When you start making more money? Its still a game, if you're saying its ok to be obsessed with a game when its a popular game but its nerdy when its underground then you're a hypocrite, the point doesnt stand...

Yeah, it does stand. In example, some athletes are obseessed with the sport they play. At the gym some foolz i kno are in love with basketball and these two foolz in particular are the most ridiculous basketball geeks ive ever seen. But regardless, these niggaz yell and hollar in arguments from time to time but the other ppl there just pass it off as 'those guys love the sport'. Now let some ppl start raising their voices jump around because of a debate about who the best character in marvel really is, at a public place, and theyr gonna get labelled nerds by the ppl there. Yeah, its a mad double standard, it aint fair, but it is what it is. I used sports as an example but it prolly applies to other things too.

...And yeah, the only difference between baseball and Marvel is that baseball is popular and marvel isnt, which is directly related to a purse. Its funny how if you're making millions taking a game seriously you're a champ, an idol, a hero, etc. But when your making thousands and taking it seriously your an antisocial looked down upon nerd.
:rolleyes:

Iono, maybe. But the guy thats champion at Magic the Gathering is still seen as a nerd, even tho he made six figures.

Sabin is right tho, folks should be giving sanford his props on overthrowing the king. IMO most of the heat in this thread comes from KJ's point, why sanford makes a deal out of whenever he plans to quit marvel. if he's gonna quit, then quit...no need to start a thread.

Finally, it's all about the women.

[TFGM]

Yeah yeah...videogames have great importance....hey its a 13 billion dollar industry. If that is not important...then nothing is. Empire Arcadia brings in money for me to put food in my mouth and my wife's so I don't see how that is not important. I will give you this much in saying that this isn't the traditional way that videogames brings in money for people...however I can say that, things change, while others stay the same, Get use to it.

maybe people think games are nerdy because the average person playing the game is a nerd

[Nagata Lock II]

I have a slightly "bigger" question for Triforce.

If Justin and Sanford set the bar and you have plans for both of them, what is the community (for which your end goal truly revolves around) supposed to do? If other step up and win tournaments forever and the "Gods" can't be reached, has anyone really improved? Is X the king of Marvel? Soo? Demon Hyo? Rowtron? Is there a point to being a champion when there are those above you that won't engage in combat?

I congratulate Sanford Kelly on his accomplishment. He's my favourite Marvel player to watch and makes me want to play a game I'm truly horrible at. I applaud him for "retiring" if he no longer wants to play but if he's being made to rest for a bigger goal in another area of gaming, it only serves to deprive the rest of the community of their shot at ascending to the top of the mountain, a right they should have had just as Sanford did for the last four years in his attempt to derail Justin.

That's not even a fair question. A fairer question would be some like, whats harder: a non-mvc2 player beating Justin in marvel, or non-baseball player hitting a homerun off a major league pitcher.



maybe people think games are nerdy because the average person playing the game is a nerd Nah u got it backwards, he's saying playing games is what makes ppl get looked down upon as nerds.

[N-Ken]

Iono, maybe. But the guy thats champion at Magic the Gathering is still seen as a nerd, even tho he made six figures.


The whole original thing is though, Mullah said saying "its just a game" to a baseball player isnt acceptable where saying it to sanford is. He said it was different because baseball players make money, that's complete and utter bullshit. Yes people do it, doesnt make it right or fair. Im saying its not fair to seperate 2 games as being different things because one is popular. All of this goes to say, that its bullshit to come onto SHORYUKEN, a fighting game website, and say "its just a game" to someone who just did the equivalent of winning the world series then saying he's done. Its in the same spirit if like you went to a fallen soldiers funeral, got up, and said "well all he did was take a bullet, no big deal" Im not comparing those 2 things, but the point is neither needs to be said, its uncalled for(and in this specific case its typical Dasrik attention whoring)



"

What's harder: hitting a home run off a major league pitcher, or doing the ROM infinite? "


Well more people in the last 5 years have hit homers in the majors than people who have done ROM infinite, so I dunno.

And yes, non marvel player beating justin is a better comparison. And of course each would have odds so infitesimally small that it would be pointless to try to compare, in that it would only be possible in the same way that a monkey typing shakespeare would be.

[loganx2000]

That's not even a fair question. A fairer question would be some like, whats harder: a non-mvc2 player beating Justin in marvel, or non-baseball player hitting a homerun off a major league pitcher.


Actually, it was a pretty fair question. Being a pro baseball player is a LOT harder than videogames. Marvel has been out for what, 5 years? These people have been playing it all the time for 5 years and not much has changed strategy wise since 2003. Baseball has been around MUCH longer, and people who make a career out of it play the game their whole lives. Show me the person who has played baseball for a few years and has completely mastered the game. :rolleyes: Yes baseball is still just a game, but baseball being popular is NOT the only difference between baseball and marvel.

[Korean Jordan]

LOLOLOL. im kinda impressed hearing that from you dasrik cuz i was under the impression games were u and ur bros' lives cuz u guys played so much.

IMO sanford doesn't have to win evo imo to prove anything now. He beat justin in two seperate marvel tournies at ecc. Altho his tourney record isnt nearly as impressive as justins its still safe to say that if he ran through justin, who else is there that might come to evo that sanford has to prove himself against? Cuz Justin was the king of the mountain, period.completely wrong bro. the hardest part about beating wong for alot of people is getting to him in the first place. at evo there are so many random good players. any "top" player can lose to some random decent player. sanford lost to random ass shit when he came down to cali before. someone from team HP I think. a random mexican.

[DeathScythe]

This thread is hilarious.


All I can tell Sanford is "About time". After watching him get mauled in CF countless Friday nights by JWong, I do believe is was about fucking time he got his due. But seriously...I think its time for him to take a shower. He can finally rest and stink of Dove.

As for Tekken? Can't wait. Finally, some more competition. Even though Sanfords Lee is kind of crappy. My Steve owned him up nicely.

[Sabin]

and sabin - i'm not a hater, i respect great video game skills, i dont respect attributing great importance to them.

about the great importance comment, you can pretty much say that for about every hobby/sport under the sun man.

but aside all that? dude, then why are you even on this site for? for general discussion? not saying that you should idolize tournament players or anything like that, nor am i saying you necessarily have to care... but if the (not talking about you necessarily) srk community doesn't care? then who will? i mean damn..it's not like we're not all capcom players here, jeez. this community is as small enough as it is, i see no problem with assigning "great importance" (or should i just say, props) to this community's champions. Cause lord knows how much blood/sweat/manhours/financial committment they put in to be at the top. They pretty much deserve it. And obviously, this applies to anyone who is the best at something that they are the best at.

In fact, over the past few years, I'd say that the amount of exposure our champions have is slowly fading. SRK news page barely advertises it's champions as much as it used to, the news page is kinda irravelant now. I remember during the heated rivarlies when tourney results used to be posted up on the front page (apex doesn't really count). with the exception of the latest ECC results and EVO every year that doesn't happen anymore. Tips and Tricks Magazie doesn't have a tournament results section anymore either, Bang The Machine, despite it being filmed in 2000, still hasn't been released. sigh...

[Master Chibi]

Congratulations, you were able to beat some people in a video game.

Considering that you've been registered to Shoryuken for HALF a DECADE it doesn't quite make you look all that hot when you make this type of a remark.

Sanford, do whatever the fuck you want man. You make Marvel entertaining as all fucking hell to watch. Enjoy life how you want to now, here's hoping I catch you NYC soon.

:karate:

[K-Nasty]

That's not even a fair question. A fairer question would be some like, whats harder: a non-mvc2 player beating Justin in marvel, or non-baseball player hitting a homerun off a major league pitcher.


Okay let me rephrase: "What would your average consumer rather pay to see: Barry Bonds crush his 704th homer, or some kid he's never seen before press some buttons?"


Nah u got it backwards, he's saying playing games is what makes ppl get looked down upon as nerds.

Right, I'm offering the opposing view, that the negative stigma involved with playing games comes from the players, not the act of playing games. You ever been to a tournament guy? Take a long look and take a deep breath, THAT's why this shit is considered "nerdy."

[The Mullah]

n-ken - no offence, i like your avatar and all, but you're talking shit. First of all i wasn't just talking about money. i said more than just that. There's value attached to being a professional sports star. In some respects it might be a double standard, but in others its not.

see you can put a pro ball player as your role model. for a kid who's parents are as broke as fuck, it's a viable way to make something of himself. at the very least he's gonna be healthy by putting his heart into sports. He's going to learn mental and physical discipline. Put a pro gamer as his role model, you can bet he's gonna fucking neglect himself mentally and physically. Yer, its great to put all your effort into something that gets you no money, and probably contributes to you ending up like so many players, overweight and/or smoking too much weed.

At the end of the day, a pro athletes not gonna win the world series in his early twenties and then walk away from it all realising that its not actualy done anything but stall his life. Your pro gamer wins the title and apparently has something of an epiphiny and realises that so much more shit is more important.

until video games garner respect, money and can provide for a better way of life, they'll remain a hobby. Anyone who takes it more seriously is entitled to do so but is liable to wind up a loser if they're not careful.

Powerglove - if i've been rude before i'm sorry, i can't imagine what you do being productive to anyone but if you say it puts food on your table then i can definately respect that.

[Master Chibi]

They trying to say he (down, down)
I hear niggaz saying he (down and out)
But our flow's the truest (oh)
The game's in a nuisance (no no)
Our girls is the models (oh)
They coochies the juiciest (ooooh)
Yeah they say he (down, down)
Yeah they say he (down and out)

The world is mine (ooooh)

Good question.

Answer: What I have instore for Marvelous and Santhrax is something for the community. :tup:

[Mark Beast]

i bet i have an idea of what you mean...

[FMJaguar]

At the end of the day, a pro athletes not gonna win the world series in his early twenties and then walk away from it all realising that its not actualy done anything but stall his life. Your pro gamer wins the title and apparently has something of an epiphiny and realises that so much more shit is more important.

I don't think being an athlete means you've done something with your life either, it just means you get paid a little more. Many athletes realize that sports hasn't done anything for their life and end up searching other places, going back to school etc... Sports, gaming, work, and pretty much everything is just an oppourtunity, you can start out as a SF player and gain the skills to make millions, or you can take a pro sports contract and waste it away to nothing.

until video games garner respect, money and can provide for a better way of life, they'll remain a hobby. Anyone who takes it more seriously is entitled to do so but is liable to wind up a loser if they're not careful.

Many people choose to spend time with the SF scene, and thats time that we can't get back. How is someone that values their life and the way they spend their time a loser?

What does that say for someone that wastes their life here and doesn't ever plan to gain anything from that time invested? That's being a winner?

Powerglove - if i've been rude before i'm sorry, i can't imagine what you do being productive to anyone but if you say it puts food on your table then i can definately respect that.

The minimum MLB salary is only $316k, if TFGM is right, video gaming is a 13 billion dollar industry. Then if my math is right, 0.002% of the gaming market a year would be equal being a MLB player, which is harder? and more importantly, which is more realistic for us? if it's hitting a baseball, i suggest hitting the batting cage more than the forums.

[Master Chibi]

Go tell this nerd talk to fata1ity, that fucker gets to TRAVEL THE WORLD playing FPS games. He literally makes a living out of it. Not a six figure deal mind you, but if we could travel the globe playing SF or what have you and not have it come out of our 9-5 job, I don't see anyone on this entire site hesitating, nor giving a damn for what it makes him look like.

Everyone in this damn thread is here because they take fighting games SERIOUSLY, because you're already part of Shoryuken.com, and the small network of fighting game oriented sites created to help support and develop our community. You are here because you fucking like doing AHVBx5, RC-shoshosho, stupid damaging Alpha 2 combos, red parrying, the handcuff glitch, doing CD counters, abusing side stepping, whoring out Nina, and so on and so forth. You like getting together with your friends and playing weekly. You like being the guy who noone wants to play against at your local mall in MvC2 because you actually scare them. You love being the guy who laughs at the EB clerks who talk like they've been cheesed on with RC electricity.

Shame on the whole fucking lot of you.

Congratulations, you were able to beat some people in a video game.
but isn't this a videogame site? Seriously though the way you come off makes you sound a little...jealous? This is SRK and people on here play marvel more than any other game. They know who sanford is and he just came to tell people not to expect him in marvel tourneys anymore. What's wrong with that? Hey guess some people get off on putting people down.

[JohnnyEight]

Hey, thanks for your thoughtful answer. Do you know how often they would practice when they were becoming good? I heard some shit like Sanford playing 60 hours a week, which I don't think is true (not that I have anything against it, its just that a 60 hour week standing should be pretty rough). Thanks a lot.

That is the truest post you ever wrote.

As for the tekken players in the Empire, that I do not know but I do know that Marvelous and Santhrax are putting in some good hours to get down in the game. I just don't know the actually time. I tell you this much, my entire life revolves around games...but not like you think. Just to run this company work and pay the taxes on it, make sure events follow through, travel for players, housing, publications, website articles, etc etc...the time I spend, every moment, that I am not either, eating, sleeping, or ****ing my wife. But in the long run it will be worth it.

[Rioting Soul]

Can't blame the guy for leaving on a high note. But there's no chance of him being convinced to go to EVO?

[fishjie]

same attitude can be applied for just about anything anyone can accomplish

with other things, such as basketball, you can actually makes millions and have the respect of millions. with fighting games, you make chump change and have the respect of a few dozen people.

snip

the point is, you can put food on the table and feed your family if you do anything BUT play fighting games competitively.

you just can't make a living playing fighting games, and if you can't make a living, you are a bum, and you are a loser. that's just the way it is.

oh also, athletes are ..... athletic. and athletes aren't considered nerds. playing video games....... pretty nerdy. so that's why MTG players who make bank are still considered losers.

[Atlus]

fishjie kind of speaks the truth and his sig roxors.

yea, marvel should be nothing more than a pasttime hobby. anyone that hasn't moved on with their lives and are doing something more successful after 5 years is just too far gone to do anything about it. Read: skinny redneck trailer trash.

You're missing the point. It isn't nerdy because of the game it's nerdy because of it's participants. 90% of the VG scene are antisocial motherfuckers who only fit in with other antisocial motherfuckers. Even though I play, I'll be the first to admit VG's are some nerdy shit and if it's your number 1 priority you're a nerd. If you disagree, ask yourself why the guy who hit a homer in the last game is fucking 3 chicks at a time, and 90% of your friends are stuck masturbating with their ROM hand.

[JIVE TURKEY JONES]

So is making money at poker considered "nerdy"?
That was a pretty shitty example. That's like saying, so is being a homo considered straight? How is something completely not nerdy (poker), have a chance at being nerdy cuz you make money at it? While Marvel on the other hand, i.e. something really nerdy, is fucking nerdy. Sorry, don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but regardless how cool you are, you are in a demographic mostly filled by the people I laughed at in HighSchool.

I think the point of this thread is waaaaaaaaaay off track. If you're gonna retire, fucking retire then. Don't act like you're Jesus to the gaming industry.

There is a guy right now who will make over 150K this year alone, easily, by putting a cursor over some polygons, guided by his mouse, and clicking his right pointer finger. I knew who that guy was for years, and FPS isn't even my thing. I couldn't tell you the difference between Unreal Tournamehfuck and Bass-Life Source, but I still know who Fatal1ty is. But ask him who santhrax is, and he'll probably come back with,"isn't that the OOOOH NOOOOESSS powder that was terrorizing mail boxes?" Now I love 3S, and I play CvS2 psuedo competetively, which has had me on this site since 2001. I didn't know who Santrhax was till last month. Kind of puts shit into perspective doesn't it?

What's harder: hitting a home run off a major league pitcher, or doing the ROM infinite?


isn't hitting a home run off a major league pitcher more like an average magneto player trying to do the ROM infinite on sanford? just curious...

by the way, a nerd is however you wanna categorize it. person doesn't have to wear glasses, pocket protector, play video games, and/or spit out klignon to be considered a nerd. some say people who play video games competitively are nerds. others think it's the kid who gets all the answers right on the test. i just happen to be both... :xeye:

[JohnnyEight]

You guys know that Korean Starcraft/warcraft/whatever players make 10 times more money than this fatality guys and are worshipped like athletes there, right? All depends on the comparison. fatality is a big pussy compared to those Koreans, and those Koreans are big losers compared to Tiger Woods. Nerdy or not, golf and racing champions gets more money than any game ever, or baseball players as well. How many winners and/or losers are there?

[ToXY]

and 90% of your friends are stuck masturbating with their ROM hand.

lol, quote of the day, funny shit man :)

[uppercut]

lol @ Kingdom avatar

the only reason why games are considered nerdy cuz of abundance of nerds associated with games and the image of some of these nerds. For example,
the power glove(the shit TGIFriday wears)
body shape(some are too fat and some are too skinny)
taking a shower once a full moon
antisocial and
the gear
IF u change all these things than the SF community would be growing. Who would thing a buff,clean cut,nice dressed mofo be a fucking nerd.But the truth of the matter is that most of nerds dont give a damn about there appearance because there too busy kangarooing themselves while playing 24/7

[TFGM]

There also known as "sports" in korea...I dont think you can call playing cs or unreal tournament a sport or any FPS for that matter. Oh and the reason why tiger woods gets more money is cuz he does commercials for nike and shit.I mean you wont be seeing a nike commercial and have a korean playing sc,while sporting some nike clothes and shoes then they say just do it.Although it would be intreasting if something like that happend.

Edit: Ok on subject..Congrats sanford, good luck with whatever you are deciding on doing in life.

[Larry Flynt]

p.s. imo, justin is goku, but sanford is not vegita, he's more like cell or majin buu, cuz he xcopies stuff and combines it into himself to form the ultimate power. sanford is like a combination of all marvel players powers, row,soo, david,etc.





Haha I've been saying this for years but people swear I was just hating on him. If you still don't believe me just watch vids of David Lee at that Tips&Tricks tournament where he plays Storm/Sent/Cable and look at Sanford vids where he plays that same team.

Anyway, Sanford came here stating he did everything there is to do in Marvel. By saying everything he basically means he won all the majors and beaten everybody there is to beat in the Marvel community. He obviously didn't do everything because he still hasn't beaten Row. But I'll let that slide because Row doesn't play as much as he use too. However, he didn't even attend MWC or an EVO to try win. So therefore, he didn't do everything in the Marvel world.

As for Sanford beating Justin, congrats but honestly who cares? I'm saying this because it's a known fact Sanford has been trying to beat Justin the last 4 years. So it's more than expected rather than a surprise. IMO it would be better if someone other than Sanford defeats Justin because we will have nothing to say but congrats. Furthermore, Sanford is not the best in Marvel now. As good as he is he is still capable of losing to other players while Justin only really loses to just Sanford.


Finally, there is no secret about Sanford's personal life on these boards, chatrooms, irc, etc. And by him making this thread it just proof that he really did what he did.

[N-Ken]

The funny thing about the poker example is that LOTS of poker players are rediculously nerdy.

I'd say a bigger factor is that we don't have a lot of stimulating conversation to overshadow the trolling that most people do on internet forums. The peanut gallery would just need to find something else to bitch about, which i'm sure they would.

[Higher-Jin]

I don't know about everyone else but I play marvel cuz it's fun. I like playing the game, and I like putting in my best shot at it. No I'm not going to make money off of it but so aren't the people who play golf or football when they can and do it every chance they get.

Just let them put in as much times as their comfortable putting in and back the fuck off.

You don't go to a real estate agent's retirement and go "Congratufuckinglations, I'm sure we'll never find anyone to sell houses again"

Also it's harder to play the in major league sports because it's more main stream hence more money hence more competition. (not to mention the physical aspect which is a whole other topic on it own)

I don't play baseball or football because I don't like those games and if you want people to do something they don't like just to make money they might as well get a boring ass job they hate, it's alot less riskier anyways than trying to get to the professional leagues (no chance of injury or worse either)

One last thing, how do you think baseball and football started out? No doubt it was fueled by people who had alot of passion for the game which trancsended "who has the biggest pay check?". Also you are forgetting the other aspect of compeitive gaming... the people.

[Storming Flower]

oh yeah, i was exactly thinking of the storm/sent/cable example, i was watching the ts5 match vids of sanford, and saw david play not too long ago in person. the way they play storm is alike. never knew you mentioned sanford as cell though . I just remembered tgfm saying he's vegita.

So the president is stepping down.I guess I can accept that, although Justin has retired like 5 times now :confused:

Finally, there is no secret about Sanford's personal life on these boards, chatrooms, irc, etc. And by him making this thread it just proof that he really did what he did.

I completely disagree X, and for one reason, because Marvel has two levels of play; Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and Justin Wong. When Santhrax said that he did everything that he possibly can he is only going by what the people wanted. Santhrax never played the game for the games sake, he only played the game to be the best and when he found out that Justin was the best his goal was to defeat him and JUSTIN only. He could careless about other competitors. Sounds like vegita to me. His only concern was Goku and no one else.

One another note, from Santhrax perspective he has done everything. Until some one else can defeat Justin in even a local, then go on to a major and then beat justin in two Marvel tournaments in the same Major "CONVINCINGLY" then what Santhrax has done can be down played but until then, it is a magnificent accomplishment in terms of "Competition in MVC2". When Santhrax won his first tournament against Justin, this same community said "so, do it in tournament play" Then he goes out and does it "TWICE" and now its so again? The question is what do you guys want? I know what you want, you want Santhrax to come to evo, be embarassed and get scrapped so you all can say "SEE his win wa a fluke, bum ass nigga"! Just as it was said at Texas Showdown 5. Just give credit where credit is due. Much like Vegita, Santhrax only purpose of playing Marvel was to defeat Goku, and much like Vegita once he found out the true point behind it he lost his will to compete in it anymore. Santhrax is the only person I know that makes Justin sweat in the game. I think people should just relax a little and let the man enjoy his break and lets see what happens in the future.

If anyone were to beat either Justin or Santhrax I would give them the utmost respect in terms of competition in that game. So do unto others as you want done unto you and your peers. Keep the love :tup:

Santhrax is was the best when he beat Justin. Now that he retired he is no longer the best, as the game goes on. Now if he comes out of retirement he is the best until beaten. That is the rules of competition. No I did not make that up, I am only going by the way competitive games are played i.e. baseball, hockey etc. Going agaisnt that is a lack of respect for the integrity of the competition as it will then just be based on opinions. You guys said it yourselves, at the end of the day who has the L and who has the W decides everything and nothing else. SO it that rule was respected for so many of the champions before today champions please respect it for Santhrax. As for the retirement issue....just give him some time away from the game. If he feels that he is really done, then he will stick to his decision of retirement, if not...well then he will be back. Hey Jordan did it...Justin did it.....let's give Santhrax that option to choose. Nothing personal X, I just don't completely agree with your opinion.

[D'Nyc3]

Sanford is now beasting in Tekken 5, Hail to Justin and Sandord for being gifted. I wish I have 50% of what they got.

[Higher-Jin]

No offense but all you top players need to stop hogging all the names it just isn't funny anymore.

"Jedi Counsel" ,"Vegeta", "Cell" , "the president" blabbity blabbity blabbity blah.

Just stick with one name and maybe 2 because between the team names, your real names, the handles you use, the shortened version of the handle (Santhrax), first alternate handle (Senator Kelly), next alternate handle (The President), flavor of the month anime/movie nick names, middle names, last names...

Maybe this the high learning curve I hear about marvel having, too many fucking names. Yeah it is hard to catch up to the experts, they've been there since the beginning... only had to learn these things one name at a time as they came to be.

I wouldn't doubt some of you guys would make Apollo Creed himself go "Damn mothafucka, don't you have enough?" and hell rocky only really needed one "The Italian Stallion".

Apollo had alot of names and look where he is now?...frickin dead.

[/tension breaker]

[Storming Flower]

first off, i'm not calling sanford cell, his only name is sanford or santhrax, and i am no top player.

my first post about him being cell or majin buu was just made out of humor, and since X mentioned it again, so did i. and a couple of reasons why i said he was cell, is because he takes other people's stuff, which is cool, no problem.

on his first trip to cali, he brought back so cal msp, and even posted that soo's stuff was working well over there. i also heard on mirc he xcopied row's flight infinite on sentinel 10 mins after rowtron did it at ecc9 . and then i recently saw the ts showdown vids of him playing hella good with sscable, and then in his sig it says david lee is his hero, who also plays sscable and was the first to go 3-0 with justin.

therefore, for all these reasons, i called him cell. it took an assimilation of everybody to beat justin in a sense,, isn't that what cell did.

obviously we're not being serious, but tgfm thinks he's vegita, but me and X think more of him as cell.

didn't vegita never beat goku anyway? cell killed goku

[KillerKai]

If Sanford is Cell, would this make Row Gohan since he killed Cell but supposedly became weaker when he decided to focus on school afterwards?

[RagingStorm101]

what about...cvs2? Is Sanford going to play that anymore or is he retired from that too?

[TFGM]

~Born to Play~

Okay I see that guys first point about stick to one name... first Vegita, the buu, the Cell, now Rowtron is Goho...what is this, SR DRAGON BALL K? :rolleyes: lol but anyway. He's santhrax and lets just leave him at that. As for the questions is santhrax retired from VIDEOGAMES? No, he just needs to break from Marvel because it is the game that took up the most of his time. He still plays everything else including Marvel, but he will not be taking the game as seriously as he did before in terms of competition. He just wants to play with out being gunned down. There is a equal chance that he will be back...and then there is the other that he may stick to calling it quits altogether. We will see.

LOLOLOL. im kinda impressed hearing that from you dasrik cuz i was under the impression games were u and ur bros' lives cuz u guys played so much.Jeremy, the fact that you and I happen to cross paths when we happen to be playing games at the same time does not mean that you know me, and the same applies to my brother. Do not talk like you know us.

Due to my illness, I haven't touched Marvel in months and I don't even have a Dreamcast anymore. Jose has a full time job and his own apartment. You are still playing Marvel along with Tekken 5 and whatever. We have lives outside of games, you don't seem to. So shut the fuck up.

[Atlus]

Justin Wong is still the best. I don't think Sanford has really acheived anything other than ruining his life for a couple of pixels (don't worry Sanford, you ain't alone).

All you sanford nuthuggers ask yourself this rhetorical question:

If your life was on it, and you HAD to play either Sanford or Justin to live...who would you choose? I've played both of them, and I'd choose Sanford any day of the week, and that ain't no diss.

Sanford's an amazing player but I think everyone in the world still believes Justin is a better player than him in every aspect: rushdown, resets, speed, defense, brains.

Let's be real: everyone knows Justin is still better. Even though I think Marvel's gotten to the point where Justin doesn't care that much anymore, and the rest of our interest is quickly dwindling as well, Justin will always go down on top of the Marvel world.

Justin trains with Sanford. How many people here that trains with a much better player here have gone on runs of 5-10 games where no one could beat them....yea, that's how it is....but they're still better.

And the cold fact in the end is Justin is still better. Sanford hasn't acheived his life goals...I guarantee he'll be back trying to take Justin out at MWC or Evo. He's going to realize this week that his life is very empty without Marvel. It's familiar and the only thing he's known for 5 years.

Sanford, my advice to you. Don't go cold turkey. You're too far gone for the detox program. Get a job, get in school if you can, and play marvel on the side a few hours a day. Keep your skills up, but also get something more fulfilling in your life.

There are some if, and, (and) but's about that statement. Justin Wong is still Marvel's finest player. Even in the exclusive interview that I had with Santhrax (oh I am giving it to phi to put in the DVD) he admitted that. He simply stated that he beat the best at a Major, but Marvelous is still the best. However on paper; it is unfair for anyone to denounce that Santhrax has accomplished nothing in terms of "Competition". The reason he is stepping away is to prove that very point that you made. Marvel isn't his life. Gamer yes, but he is not so attached that he can not walk away. This is something that I want Santhrax to learn so that he becomes a better person. Not saying that your hating or what not, just wanted to point out that Marvel is not his life. Saddest part....Tekken takes up both of their lives. Yes, both Santhrax and Justin.

K Rick, do you know how much Jeremy plays marvel anymore? No, so shut the fuck up.

Do you know how much Jeremy plays T5 anymore? No you don't, so shut the fuck up.

So why you talking to me like you know me?

Yeah, my statement was based on what I used to see of you guys but also what I gathered when lawrence used to invite me to paly at zaza's on weekends, and also from Oscar, who last time I talked to him when said he still practices with Zaza alot (this was only a few weeks ago guy). So it's not like I was pulling shit out of my ass. It's ironic for you to respond like such a dick when what you said was based on the very little you know of me, thus making the same mistake I did with your assumptions. Your as wrong as me. So take your own advice Rick, seriously.

Just leave it at that.

Anyways, back to the topic...

[TheWanderer]

After reading a couple of replies, i kind feel sad for some gamers.... Wtf people, your GOAL is to beat the best, come on now, it's just a game, you were born on earth to do one thing, that's for you to find out. But don't say my goal is to beat this person. Find some better shits to achieve than trying to beat somebody at games. I'm not saying any names nor pointing any fingers, but that's just my opinion. I myself do like games, but my goal is to become well known in the world. Lets take Einstein and other other famous people for example.
