I completed a trade with him a couple of months back, he's on here under the name of Archangle Legend

i may have played chun li once or twice and i predict that chun li will be in the final match at nats..............against a seong mina deck

Wishful thinking

wishful.......like a fox!

seong mina is beast. it could happen. for seong mina to make it that far, it would have to avoid a match against hanzo, or fire aggro, and maybe some really agresive chunners. 5 handsize gets nooked by hanzo and aggro.

I thought I'd read over my thread here again, especially since I more or less prophesized my own loss in top 8 (I picked her to top 2, the real one, at the very least)... Stupid dut...

Anyways, I was equally as curious re: how much money Shinji lost? And where his money went wrong??? <how can you not put it on the lightning legs???>

Aside: Oh wait, you must have been distracted while we were fighting the Inuits and Penguins, on that fateful July 1st years ago...

Akuma got second, and I'm assuming Mike Lowe's fight against him was grueling.

I wasn't too terribly off. And thankfully I lost no money =D

Glad to hear your wallet was intact. You weren't far off at all...

And of course they were grueling, two great players, two great characters - shame on everyone for not being there to watch ^^

But yeah, I was actually poking for some of your personal insight as to why you would think Akuma is better than Li, or at least stood a better chance of topping at US Nats.

ps. To that extent, I trust you will be at Gencon and driving an Akuma deck. If, at the very least, only to prove a point!

Because I told myself, "If Chun-Li wins Nats, God does not exist"

that's why.

Akuma is hands down one of the most safe, reliable, broken characters around. His once-per-turn hax is only needed once, and is backed up by Seclusion, which doubles his power (and more per copy). His E Commit, if you have more foundations, literally says, "Attack me and be tapped out on your own turn." As such, an Akuma whom outbuilds the opponent, more often than not, wins the game.

He has the pitch fork, and to be frank, he's much like Andrew Olexa except with Fire instead of Air. While he doesn't get Feline Spike or ChinaBox, he gets Manifest and Knight Breaker (and I believe more health).

I simply did not think Chun-Li would win based off of personal desire for her to not win. She has won more events than any character in the history of UFS; if that isn't reason enough to consider her for ban or errata, I don't know what is. Plus, Akuma got second, so my guess just goes to show how Shinji's logic works =D

And nah, I wouldn't rock Akuma for Worlds. Depending on how things go, I have built my best friend a Fire Akuma deck. It eats babies faces off. I've actually considered running Seong Mi-Na for worlds, but I'm waiting for Tekken, bans, and anything else. As with last year, if I go to worlds, I'm going to use a secret deck, and hopefully one nobody thinks of (I'm the type of guy who LOLs at Diversity).

Hahahaha To all you doubters, only 2-3 people said mike lowe would win... looks like no one had any faith in him...
Him and keith and I made sure foxhound made thier presence felt this nationals.

my money was on quarzark

I can't play good characters.

also, I was only Chunner's in teams, the only day we showed up because we all worked saturday, so Rochester crew drove down at 12:30am Friday and left by 6pm.

I drew 10 orange cards the entire tournament. 1x Feline Spike, 2x Ira-Spinta, 2x Hyoko-Sen and 5x Heel Snipes. It was very, very pathetic. Especially considering I played 10 games.
