Subject: Jumpsuit experiences ECC4! Date: 1999/06/04 Author: Adrian Ross Posting History Hey, what's goin on fellas?! Just here on Adrian's computer, reading postings n stuff. I finally have a few minutes to post something on ecc4.... First off, Dunellin(I think das how u spell it?!) was a spiffy little place...New York and China Town were just like the movies! Junkies-n-pimps-whores-Oh My! Nah, it was ok. Could have done without all the funky odors in China Town tho! What really sucked was havin a fever/flu the first two days I was there! But, I manged to still play and have fun! It was the shit to finally meet or see all the peeps from the channel. I dunno bout you guys, but I hated the stix!! The only ones that felt good were the ones on the ST machine AFTER the ST tourney was over!! The funniest shit was hearing Wizard talk his Maaaadd LA style trash talk! "Waaaayyyy tooo goood!" He was too much. Seeing APOC wasted 90% of the time there! Challenging Jason Cole to a B-Boy battle(Breakin') but never got the chance to. And who could forget my patented "Ponk-chika-wow" 70's porno music imitations on the megaphone! Way too good! White Castle burgers suck shit! With all that stuff off my mind, I feel much better. As far as the tourneys are concerned, I had a good run! SFA3- Ok, I admit! I suck at the Alpha series, with alpha3 being no exception! Todd Dwyer wiped me out with an XRolento on crack! Killed my X Ryu in seconds. He then proceeded to kill my X Rolento. My first loss. I played atleast 2 more opponents, where I ended up on top. I then had to fight Omni. I thought I'd be dead. But I beat him just using simple X Ryu tactics...he shoulda won though. I know he's better than me in A3. What was really funny was the amount of people that fell for my fake! It's the old skool fake at the beginning of the round....short hurricane kick into X-super!! So simple, yet soooo many people fell for it! So, if it aint broke, don't breakdance! Right?! I finally lost to an Dhalsim player(The guy was black, and wore glasses). He was a great all around Dhalsim player on all games. The rest of the Texas team was wiped out early on that game. I was amazed on that V-Akuma combo(not Daigo's)! The one with that back splash thingamajiggie! Then that V Rolento cornercombo! That was sick shit! I liked it tho! Very unique. ST Tourney- To be honest, I had more fun in practice than playin in the actual tourney! I played two guys(don't know who, tho) and then I had to play Seth Killian. He should change his name to Seth Killa-man! He and I go back and forth in practice, with him winning the majoriity of the time. He beat me with his crazy Chun Li and gave me ny first loss. After that I had to face Omar Deloney! They called my name and they said I was facing Omar. I was like "Oh shit!" I figured since he and Big Daddy Chris play Ken vs Fei all the time, it would be a really tuff match! He won a round with a weird ass straight up jump kick through the tip of my flame kick! WEIRD!! But, my Fei managed to beat him. An awesome game indeed! I think I had to fight John Choi next, I don't really remember. His MACHINE GUN OG Sagat killed me!! I only got a round off of him. Maybe next time, eh John? Watching John comeback and win all his matches from the losers bracket was a sight to see! Gary was good, but John got him! In fact, Gary and the rest of the East Coasters were all excellent ST players! Even that guy who had long hair and a goatee was awesome with a mean Honda! I did my best with Fei, having 4-8-even 12 game winning streaks. Seth also had great win streaks. Impressive for anyone to do considering the amount of competition there! My God, I dragon kicked through so many projectiles that weekend, it was insane! Especially that crazy comeback on that Dee Jay player! I had a hair of energy, he had 90+% energy. A few rekkas, a throw, and one awesome dragon kick through his MaxOut in the corner for a dramatic finish! I had to slam my fist on the machine scream like Michael Jackson(WooooHooo!) But ya know what? The whole time I could hear my fellow ST players talkin sarcastically behind me quoting Jason Wilson's words "Oh Jesse's Fei Long is WAY TOO OVERRATED!" That had to be the quote of the weekend for me. I never heard Jason Wilson actually tell me that, and certainly something I wouldn't expect from him at all. I do remember him posting a reply to an Xband question on the newsgroup...comparing my Fei to some guy named Rekka-Ken...anyways Jason said "I played both of them. Jesse's Fei is good, but on arcade? Forget it!" Hmmmmm.....lemme see, at the SHGL ST Tourney held on E3 weekend I won all the games straight in a row...only losing one round to you. I beat your Guile, Bison, and Sagat. I don't think my Fei is overrated.....I'm no different than Seth and his ChunLi/Balrog or Choi and his OG Sagat. Regardless, I still think everyone will continue to use that funny quote so long as I continue to play SF!! SF3 Second Impact- I BEAT HENRY CEN!!!!!!!! THE CHINA TOWN SELF PROCLAIMED MASTAH!!!! I BEAT HIM!!!!!!!!! KILLED BOTH HIS YANG AND HUGO!!!! WITH MY BASIC BOOTY SKILLS DENJIN RYU!!!!!! Ok, sorry I had to say that......I just had to do it.....HAAAA!!!!! I BEAT YOU HENRY!!!!! BROKE YOUR EXCALIBUR!!!! ok das enuff! Eddie Lee's Ibuki is sick!!!! Very annoying, very effective!! Props to him. That John B. guy(chubby Yang player who was kickin everyones ass in ChinaTown with 26+wins) that guy was good, with trix we all kept falling for! Good nonetheless. Just glad to see my boys place in the top 5 (Mike Zavar, Juan Gonzales, and Alex Valle) Great job fellas! Alpha 2- I suck at this game....Rob whipped my ass with booty-ass alpha counters with Ken. Fuck you Eminem!! =) Then I almost beat Wes Truelson's Sakura with my Runaway rolento, but he ended up gettin me with crossup super combos!! Then came the torture!! Watching Thao and David Sirlin go at it......damn fellas!!! How patient can ya'll be??? A really great series. Sirlin has that shit down to a patented art form! And Thao, you're just straight up OG! It was awesome how u wiped out both Valle and Choi without giving them a round!! Hyper Fighting- Was it me, or was that shit TOOO SLLOOW!!!?? Playin in that tourney was plain fun, tourney or not! Brought back insane memories! LOW SHORTSHORTSHORTSHORT-BLAMSTANDING FIERCE!!! Crazy shit!! Choi was doin that stuff..so was Apoc with his Balrog. Seth, Valle, Apoc, Choi, and me were havin a blast on that game while the MvsC Tourney was goin on. I got 5th in that tourney. MvsCapcom-Ok......can you say DOUBLE WAR MACHINE???? I hate that damn game!! Can u imagine playin that game on acid??? Looks cool, but I cant tell what the hell is goin on!!! I just watched the energy meters the whole time!! Ocasionally I'd watch the missles launch, but I stuck to the energy meters. I stopped watchin after Valle lost, and continued to play Hyper Fighting. What the hell happened after the tourney??!!! No one had a ride to go anywhere!!!! I rode with cole on the front seat back to the hotel! My boy Adrian and Chris had to take 8-10 people to the airport, taking the scenic route in NYC the whole time!! I bet you guys looked like the GRIZWALDS!! We slept all day Monday...and left that night. A great weekend guys..... Shouts out to: Team Houston John Choi Seth Killian Alex Valle David Sirlin Jesse Howard Sir Max Omar Deloney Thao Duong Spider Dan all the east coast players Jason Cole Apoc Tobias Zeruel and his Lady Mr Wizard Wes T. Jesse(Apoc's gal) wish u were there to battle! Bob Painter and Omni(Hey I made top 5!) And to my boy up in that arcade in Heaven, Tee Carter.....everyone knows you woulda been right there in the middle of all that comp makin us laugh!! Evertime I fight a Vega player it reminds me of you. We'll see u again someday, Tee. We miss you, man. I know I forgot to mention a few things and send shouts out to several players, but I'm pressed for time. See all of you guys next big tourney....till then be safe and keep up the skillz!
