Updates and Status of my life

So yeah, I’ve been doing random stuff recently… not much, just slacking and neglecting this site. Sorry to anyone who actually follows.

In other news, here are some updates!

I pre-ordered Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, and I bought the Roxio Game Capture so I can stream my games more efficiently. Hopefully, my laptop can handle the everything I use it for, if not, I will have to invest in a new laptop. I will stream my improvements from day 1 to day Marvel 4 comes out. I will post a stream schedule later on; hopefully, me streaming my gameplay will cause me to improve and get feedback so that I can go compete.

Another update: my new livestream is now on TwitchTV, at www.twitch.tv/duskino, add me to see when I randomly go on!

Twatter, Twitty, Twitter, whatever it is called…

I got one, follow me @duskino!!! Follow button is on the right!

EVO 2011

So yeah, Evo was HYPE!!! Glad I was there… now that it’s all over, BACK TO TRAINING! I met a lot of pros (Justin Wong, Daigo, Tokido, etc.) and a LOT more. They all gave me some friendly advice about playing and everything, so I will now train hard, and hopefully go back to Evo next year!

Anyways, I was a judge at Evo this year, was AWESOME, got some HYPE pools. Tokido was in my MvC3 pool that I judged, AND my BBCS2 pool. I have to say, it was amazing being a judge, you can meet and greet everyone from around the world.

In other news, I got Twitter, @duskino. Follow me as a lot of news will be posted there too!!!

All the Top 8′s were GREAT, everyone showed up, made every match the best of the best! Props to everyone!

I WILL BE ATTENDING EVO 2011!

YOU READ RIGHT, NO LIES THIS TIME! I will be at EVO this year! I will be going to Las Vegas on the 26th and be back on the 2nd. I will attend Evo, which is held at Rio Casino this year, and will watch the best of the best go against each other. Unfortunately, I suck, and cant make my mind up on who to use, I have decided to be a full-fledged spectator this year, and hope to meet some great players from across America. I want to get better at SSF4:AE (I have RALLY neglected this wonderful game), MvC3 (can anyone say super/ultimate?), and BBCS2 (though this will probably never happen). These all happen to be this years Evo games. Well, if want to meet up and chill over the course of Evo, feel free to let me know by comment. I will take lots of pictures! I have been assigned a challenge: “Make Daigo Umehara Smile”. If only that is possible… Daigo, if you are reading this, I hope you can teach me some stuff!

In other news, I will bring my console to Vegas with me, so if you get do get to Vegas early (like me) and are bored, hit me up, I’ll welcome any training partner.

Feel free to hit me up with any challenges for Evo or if you just want to hang out!

Lies, lies, and more lies

About my Marvel team… I went to A-kon in Dallas last week, it was hype, got some good casuals in, got blown up with my new team. I’m going to add Jill back into my team, even though I do not own her, playing her at A-kon got me wanting her on my team again. So yeah, Jill/Dormammu/Zero is my current team.

In other news, congrats to TransientFaith again, this time grabbing 3rd at A-kon in BBCS2, repping TeamESP. I suck at BBCS2, so I didn’t sign up, maybe I will next time. Only time will tell…

In other news yet again, I AM GOING TO EVO, currently getting a few friends in the local area to road trip and book a room at the Rio, where EVO is held this year. LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BLOWN UP. Can’t wait to meet some pros and get some good lessons.

PSN Downtime

Yeah PSN has been down for a while, your account is in limbo, SOMEONE JACKED YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO, GO CANCEL THAT! Unless you haven’t bought anything, then you’ll be okay.

In other news, I have updated my team in MvC3 to Zero/Dante/Tron and Chris/Zero/Dante.

MvC3: Fate of My Team

So yeah, playing online… 27-24 now… after being 24-17 at one point, getting that 25th win was not fun due to the amazing balance system this game has. I am a 9th Scout, yes, NOT Lord, for obvious reasons. I win a battle, I get no exp. I lose, I get no exp. See a trend? Maybe I need to learn the art of Plasma Beaming… maybe I need to lag less… or maybe I need a team that can counter lamers (which are 90% of the people I run into online…). So yeah, I want to change my team out and see if it makes a difference… and yes, I am still eliminating 17 of the 34 characters (Capcom exclusive team). So far, I am thinking about introducing Trish into my team, maybe Dante (though lag begs to differ), or maybe someone else. If anyone has any suggestions to teams, I am open to them.
