That precious beard won't save you now
As some of you may recall, Y0j1mb0
challenged the Destructoid community to some Street Fighter II last week with the
bold and grammatically incorrect claim that "I am the greatest Street Fighter II player in this here parts of Destructoid."
After the gauntlet was thrown down and a couple days of buildup, a few people couldn't connect and a few others were busy, so we ended up with about 6 people in the quarter matches over the course of the night. These included the mighty Y0j1mb0, casualweaponry, NotAZombie, Usedtabe, Elitechief27, and myself (sorry if I left anyone out - I suck with associating Gamer Tags to names).
I jumped on Xbox Live 15 minutes early, because I was all too eager to begin challenging my Destructoid comrades and make Y0j1mb0 eat his words, so he and I started it off. After four quick matches, the score stood at 4-0 in my favor, with nobody around to witness my dominance over the Bearded One. All I have to verify my skills is the following message:
Your tears make me strong
At this point, I was regretting the fact that his headset was broken, because I
really wanted to hear the trash talk now. Maybe it was the illness, but his game was off. After others joined in and he had a chance to warm up, though, Y0j1mb0 stepped it up and put a serious hurting on us for a stretch of 5-6 matches. We switched in and out, with NotAZombie and Usedtabe fighting valiantly and providing many laughs during the night, and Elitechief27 arrived toward the end to kick some ass (and ignored my friend request *cough*).
For all that
trash talking, though, I expected better. These are the skills of a man with 600+ ranked victories? Not only that, but you stuck with Ken the entire time, despite my repeated pleas to switch it up with another character. Because, ya know, Ryu/Ken all night gets boring.
Sir, I dare say that you are not the greatest Street Fighter II player in these here parts of Destructoid.
I am.
Also, this:
I think I went a little too "Billy Mays" with the beard
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT HATING ON THE MAN
Seriously, though, I'm not as big of a douchebag as this blog would lead you to believe. I'm just joking around. Y0j1mb0 is a very cool dude, and he has some serious skills in Street Fighter. I'm sure he appreciates a good bit of trash talking as much as the next man, so I just couldn't resist.
I had a really fun time playing Street Fighter with you guys, and I'd love to do it again. How about this Wednesday or Thursday night? I'll take any challengers.
GT: ShinigamiBV. Bring it.

Those be fightin' words !!!
OK.
LOL
Nice. Also, ODB ftw.
I had a feeling that was going to happen. I've only expirienced one shit talker backing it up in my x-box live life. I was playing GRAW. some New york shit talker said we all sucked (it was a random room/ no clan mates). He challenged us all to play him, one man versus all. He fucking killed all of us. It was impressive.
Looks like Y0j1mb0's a member of the CMB now.
I would play but it would require me to not only buy the game but forfeit my honor for I suck at this game...I especially with the 360 controller.
Super NES ftw!
really dont know what to say. agree with D.
HAHAHA!! I just noticed the beard on Ken. Classy.
I was hoping you would take the hint and create the recap as I didn't want to embarress you. But let's put things into the land of the real for a moment.
I hate to tell you this but the practce rounds that you are trying to credit as wins are a joke..considering they were just that. Practice..with no one around.
Did you happen to notice that when everybody showed up your win streak evaporated. If you were to ask Elitechief and the others involved they would verify this.
As a matter of fact the others didn't even win a ROUND against me. As I recall you guys were even trying to say I was using some sort of preprogrammed controller because I was dragon punching you guys all the way to Timbuk 2 and back. Remember? Or are you going to just hold on to those practice rounds as your claim to fame..lmao.
To be fair after everybody showed up, you won about two matches out of 20. Again don't take my word for ask..ask the others that were there.
Good job sir. You did better than I expected.
I might show up and open a clinic on ya'll again..but really is it even neccesary?
:D
Also, I had a blast. You guys should be doing this weekly.
@Blehman Thanks, I had a fun day at work of drawing beards on people. I'm glad it paid off. ODB for zombie president.
@Richard Blocker Damn, dude. That's gotta be a major kick in the balls, to have a whole team go down to one guy. Some GRAW players are frightening, which is why I generally stay away.
@Blindsidedork Yeah, we discussed the superiority of the SNES version while we were playing, including the horrific box art with the disgusting looking Blanka.
@Y0j1mb0 lol Alright, man. You shoryuken'd the fuck out of us - I'll give you that. But your short reign as Street Fighter champion is over. We should try to put together another one of those quarter match nights, because it was a hell of a lot of fun. I'm on Live all the damn time, and I'll drop anything for a challenge. Get that mic working, too!
lol awesome beards
CMB>CBM
But can you beat Amuro Ray?
Narcoleptic webcam girl gets a Y0j1mb0 beard, too. This is for you, Trailerparkjesus:
@Justin Villasenor Psh, Amuro will get his ass whipped. Come on, now. He just got lucky and had the best mobile suit around. All hail:
@Char:Yea, appreciate the kind words about my fighting, but the only thing I did valiently was shit talk.
@Yojimbo: He actually one at least one match while I was there, because after he beat you I had to fight him, as did NotAZombie. Then you came back and beat again at your next turn.
Psh, you guys and your silly street fighters.
I feel like playing some UT III again, since I miss the good ol' days of people hating me for winning so many times.
But can you defeat Sheng Long?
lawlesome!
If you get this going again, I will be there. There's nothing I love more than kicking ass (read: losing a lot) at Street Fighter.
im better than you
also
tl;dr
