I challenge MetholMoose :d should be available ~10-20 GMT this weekend (time here is GMT +3)

edit:

make that 7-20 GMT, probably the easiest if I just wake up at a normal time while you guys are playing late :p

Still willing to play whoever challenges me. Going by individual rounds I'm 1-10... come get your easy win!
Don't be so harsh on yourself. I saw the matches. They were close games. Could had been 5-1 your way.

At least I've won more rounds each time. I'm like 3 more challenges away from a win!*

Also, I seem to have better success with my secondary VRs than Specineff in follow-up matches. Hmm....

*Assuming the challengers aren't Schooly, Phantom, and Aniking

I think your specineff is much better than your secondary. In casual games, I tend to relax on my defense :lol: . Also I do well against specineff while grys-vok and fei-yen matchups are 7-3 against bal-bados :cry: . Despite the "bad" matchups, I did quite well as you saw :mrgreen:. I would suggest playing characters that you do play and work on improving them instead of playing characters that happen to do better in certain matchups. Japanese tournament, characters are often locked meaning the players have to be good in ALL matchups for 1 VR.

I wasn't aiming for a favorable matchup; I was just cycling through all the VRs I'm familiar with. It just so happens that they're all good against Bal except Specineff.

It's not just you, though; even against Menthol I seemed to do about as well with Fei Yen and Stein Vok as I did with Specineff.

Seeing how this is turning out to be an interesting thing, I might as well throw my two cents in and say "I challenge neoKEN to a Best of 9 Challenge!"

I'm open on Sunday, around like 12 PM (EST).
I'm now VO:F ready, bring it on!

First loss for neo helbeast and first win for me. Finally.

Also, I just noticed that Menthol no longer has 200 gamer points. I don't know how I feel about that.

Yeah I'm no longer a "VO-only" 360 owner. But there are some quality games I'd like to check out when I have free time.

Despite the result, almost all very close rounds. Round 4 was most painful :cry:

Eh, I'm open around the weekends because school takes up the majority of my time and Saturday usually isn't a good time for me to play online...

Well, I have Xbox Live available to me again, I suppose I'm up for any challenges. I might challenge others, dunno. Guess I'll just wing it as I go. My schedule kinda varies, so just challenge me and I'll PM you with the times I'm available in a nearby timeframe. As a side note, this keyboard the school has for this computer has a terri-bad space bar. Surprised I didn't just use underscores.
Area to remain blank until I stop procrastinating.

Actually, 9 rounds is sort of unfair for specineff (and some others I guess) since you can only use death mode once per game. Here you can use it on 1/9 of rounds while normally it would be 1/3.
