I AM!!


Just got my confirmed invite to the tournament! I am so excited I cant even handle it... "But Sir B7ue how did you manage to become so intimidatingly awesome in so short of a time?" Shut up before I break your teeth with a freshwater trout. I have always been this awesome, its just time someone noticed..

Anyways, the way to win an invite was by sending capcom a message at the capcom-unity site and explain to them why you should receive said invite.

here is a copy of my message:

(pardon the lack of spell check, I dont spell for you, I dont spell for anyone)


Dear whomever it may concern,

Let me start with this - I will suplex you. No seriously, El Bueno does not kid…

Now that I have that out of the way (and your attention), I would like for you to consider my modest proposal as to why you should send me an invite to your fancy little preview event (If you prefer the non-TL;DR version, scroll to the final paragraph)

First off, I will reluctantly admit it. I suck at Street Fighter, always have. But with the announcement of Super Street Fighter IV I knew I could finally have my chance to shine. When I first saw El Fuerte in SFIV I knew I finally had a home in your well established franchise. I did everything I could to get better, I even bought that amazingly awesome SFIV madcatz-special-edition-fightstick-amazing-piece-of-heaven for my hard earned pounds of flesh. Sadly no matter what, my luchadore spirit never quite connected with the frantic ADHD-stricken fighter supreme that is Fuerte. The announcement of Super Street Fighter IV gives me hope however, it means a chance at rebirth. A chance for this phoenix to rise from the ashes of terrible defeats (one time, no joke my record was 2-30-1.. Yeah seriously I sucked straight nachos) with a improved move list, better combo opportunities, and hopefully some more awesome suplexes. Lots of suplexes SSF IV is going to be amazing, I can feel it in my joystick…

Secondly, think about it - what a better way to represent your remixed game by having some of the best players and some of the worst. Imagine what a statement it would make if I was able to actually go toe to toe with much more improved players and give an exciting fight not by just button mashing but by having an equal learning advantage. Not going to lie, I will probably suck more than Seth’s cheap ying-yang belly button-torso-thing but it will be the most entertaining suckage that anyone will witness. So if you invite 6 of the USA’s best fighters and decide to throw me a bone and invite me as well - I guarantee to beat everyone (false confidence, but confidence none the less!) with nothing but perfects (ok, now that’s just facetious…) but finish every match with an ultra combo (setting up for amazing failure) and beat my chest like a gorilla. How’s that?

Lastly - I own several luchador masks and will gladly wear one the entire tournament. No seriously, I collect them. When I mentioned that I practically bought SFIV just to beat in Ken’s face with a flying suplex spin around into a nose breaking kick, I had a reason. Its kind of like a split personality or something but I have the worlds greatest hero living within me. His name is El Bueno and he was the one who promptly stated that I would suplex you and he (I am?) is not joking. I have enough masks to wear one everyday for a normal work week. I will include a picture of the classic Bueno mask along with this message. Seriously, think of how awesome it would be to have a luchador fighting against someone on stage. Epic doesn’t even cut it.

Personally I believe you should invite me to this little tournament. Not because I am the greatest street fighter there is (frankly I’m more of a Dan than a Ryu in proper terms) but I am incredibly excited and have the highest expectations that SSFIV will live up to everything hardcore fans and non alike can agree on. I love Street Fighter, I love fighting games, and most of all I love you Capcom.



Have my babies and invite me to this amazing once in a lifetime event please.

and completed it with a wonderful photo taken from my DSi:



Am I a whore for awesome things? Perhaps, yes. But regardless I am going to this tournament of street fighting kings and will represent Destructoid while there..

Wish me luck, I will post my results with photos and details on everything I see/play/and squeeze.
