SO I played SSF4 AE today.

SO today I went to MGL ( Milpitas Golfland ) and got to play some Arcade edition for a bit. I got one game in because the wait was so long and I lost right away... I was pretty nervous which was bad maybe it was because everyone was watching. My brother came with me and he did Pretty good actually. Went on a small win streak with his Dhalsim. He beat some good players to my suprise, caught everyone off gaurd. But yeah AE is legit and so is MGL, Hella Cabs and shit for Fighting games. Its awesome, I wish there was something like MGL out here in the EAST EASTERN eastbay .

I should have been in the Scene sooner.

So I believe if I would've gotten into the scene around the year 2000 I would've been one Beastly ass Marvel player. By myself From just practicing Team Santhraxx ( Storm/Sentinel/Captain Commando ) Ive become an okay player. Nothing like Major Tourney Worthy but I take it like If I started back in 2000 and keep going with the progression Ive come across I think I would have been a pretty beast player. Maybe I wouldn't be just a " Scrub " or Mid level player and Id possibly be one of Norcals Finest. Maybe with MVC3 I can become a pretty Good player. Till then its going 2-2 at tourneys and Lots of YouTube Videos until I become top. Ive been working hard its just I don't have the longtime experience like many others do who do so well.

No ssf4 for a while...

So Recently I scratched my SSF4 Disk so yeah... No SSF4 for a while mostly TVC and 3rd Strike. I kind of miss the game because I need to Practice because there is a " Beat the Champ " challange I want to be ready for and Face Filipino Champ since in Tourney Ive never been faced against him in Brackets = (. SO this is my chance to face some high level Dhalsim and Hopefully My brother can watch and learn some shit. Its a 100$ Prize in a FT3 so Im hoping I win = ). Rufus Has a Good Match up with him so Lets see how it goes.

My passion

Now recently I have taken street fighter into more then a hobby. Its a passion of mine now and I hope people realize that because I think its fucking bullshit when they say that I am just playing a game. Sure yes it is a game but its something that truely makes me happy knowing I am actually progressing through something and enjoying it. FOR years I have looked for ways to express myself and find passion Ive tried Break dancing, Card games,other games,poetry,music and other crap. But even all of those I got bored of because the lack of me feeling some sort of mental progress or enjoyment. Street fighter to me is a PASSION its one of the few things I can dedicate myself to and Enjoy working at. One thing recently that is causing me to rant/vent/Blog about this is the lack of open mindedness and abundence of ignorance I get. I hear so much " Vince its a fucking game do something else " and Ill I think is " what the fuck gives you the right to judge what I find enjoyable ". What makes my passion any less then anyone elses? Just because your passion is an instrument or maybe dancing does that make yours better then mine? We both put lots of time practicing,working, going through tons of trial and error, trying no matter what and giving it our all. SO what if all I do is Practice ( not play ) My passion and working on getting better? Why do people feel the need to complain/bitch/criticize what I do? I mean fucking people who play instruments can play their instrument all they want and it seems like no one ever says " Do something else all you do is play piano " so why make it any diffrent if all I do now is practice ? Maybe everything else to me seems like a waste of time, sure Im not gonna dedicate my life 24/7 to this but Im not gonna do anything I feel would be a waste of time instead of practicing. So what if I dont want to play another game or go out and shit maybe I dont want to also? SO if what I do that makes me happy doesnt seem as signifacant as what you or others do, does that  make mine worthless then ? THink about that when you decide to criticize someones hobby/passion/work or whatever they do and let them live and experience what they are working for. Instead of hurting them you can try it also and maybe find and experience what me and others do and find happiness in something.

Battle of the Bay Tommorow

So tommorow is Battle of the bay. In short its the Best bay area players ( super street fighter 4 ) gather in groups of five to show who the best area is.
