There were two big stories in the rankings this past week. The first was Char Aznable overtaking DanMartigan for the 2nd place spot. The top 4 spots seemed to be almost cemented in place for some time. But Char found the Pickax of Forward Momentum (this will be a weapon in the next Zelda game, I guarantee it), and moved himself into position to strike at Senisan's long-standing top spot.
The second big story is the Cerebral Assassin himself, C2C Shiro. In the past week, C2C has moved up a whopping 5 spots! He has had a lot of matches to make-up and he's been chipping away at them diligently. And he's not even caught up yet. So, be very careful, you folks in the top 4. C2C Shiro is coming for you!
This past week went the opposite of smooth. I figured that I was going to have a lot of time on Christmas and Christmas Eve to bounce around and play a lot. But, with last minute shopping and feeling quite sick on Christmas Day, this was not the case. So, thanks for bearing with me.
Especially last night. I'm sorry to each and every person that I fought during the PS3 Sagat matches. I was as a demon unleashed. Playing quite cheap some of the time. I pulled 33 wins in 40 matches. I promised an explanation. I had plans to meet up with a friend from out of town last night. She was having a big gathering at a bar. And I only really had time to drop in for an hour, before speeding back home to get my Street Fighter on. While I was there I was making time with this ultra-hot redhead. It was going really well. But not enough time for it to really get anywhere. Then I had to leave.
Skipping out was not an option for me, because I hate to blow people off when I promise I'm going to be some place. Especially this community that I love. So, I hoped to be able to race home, blow through all of my matches, and meet up with the party as they hit their second bar. I was just trying to end all matches as quickly as possible. Take everyone out in two rounds if I could swing it. Sorry guys, the Dark Hadou totally possessed me.
When I hit the 2nd bar, the mystery girl wasn't there, sadly. Since she had said that she was heading back home to New York on Monday, I didn't even bother to ask about her. Still, a good time was had. I again apologize for being a larger dick of a player than usual.
Dee Jay matches tonight on the 360. I should be on between 8-10pm EST.

I hadn't really expected to do that well with Sagat, but you were brutal last night. I didn't really care so much, when I lose that bad it just makes me want to figure out how to defend against whatever beat me. What I didn't like was this was the one night my fiance was over while I was playing. She experienced the storm of obscenities mixed with street fighter jargon I produced during my defeats. For this, I must try and regain my honor...with f*cking T.Hawk.
@kirbilot,
You need to tell me these things ahead of time. I've been known to throw a game or two to make someone look good.
I'll try and see you tonight. I was really looking forward to some make-ups last week, but it seems I didn't catch you.
33 wins in 400 matches or 33 in 40.
While I appreciate you sticking to your word, an ultra-hot red-head means blowing off SF for a day or 2.
i've been online so much lately and haven't seen you at alll
i gotta get those makeups in.

@Nilcam,
um, I guess that 33/400 does look a little less impressive (though pulling off 400 matches in one session then hurrying back to the bar would be impressive in its own right). Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.
As for blowing off Street FIghter, it would take a better reason than a potential hook-up for me to cause a bunch of people to stare at a monitor for two hours wondering where I am. You know, like oversleeping. :/
@Haxan
Haha, thanks but I would rather just get my ass kicked than you letting me win. That wouldn't really help me improve any. Honestly she could care less if I won or not. She probably wouldn't have even noticed I was losing if it wasn't for me cursing about jump in jabs and how the fuck did he throw me AGAIN!? Hopefully see you tomorrow for some T.Hawk
Damn, I want this contest to keep going.
