Well Madman, there's another GI Joe convention with just as cool people, and it's a lot closer.
-
Yeah Madman!
You should come down man. See if Custo wants to join you!
Get a 'Montreal Troop' on the way!
I'll give you a free timbit. ;-)
Mike
-
and you can watch me wipe the floor with Mike as Goldberg with the Joe Royal Rumble on PS2.
All right, more like watch Mike try to beat his record from last year in throwing me out of the ring in 5 seconds. Doesn't mean I'm not gonna try dagnamit!

22 throws out the entire night.
Loop still has the record at being thrown out 4 seconds into the match however. ;-)
Mike
-
Planning on going.
-
I'd definitely love to come down, but April is always a bad time for me. Perhaps the worst month of the year. I'll only know last minute sadly. I really want to check out the store and meet a bunch of you guys because I know it'll be a blast. The joe rumble sounds depressing if Mike's going to be throwing everyone out of the ring every 5 seconds...j/k. I'm sure it's loads of fun.
-
hey pete me kevin sam and a couple other guys are blocking some rooms together..do you already have a place set aside for you down there?
lmk

Ya see.... I'm shocked no one has bothered to 'team up' on me yet.
I'd lose that thing everytime if all of the other players were out to get me!
Mike
Oh crap... what have I done.
:shock:
-
The reason you haven't had any competition is because you haven't played against Jon S.
This year... you're in trouble!
-
Which version of the game are we playing this year, just in case someone say wanted to make a certain wrestler...
- Charles
-
Hey Mike, you making that freaky Blue Smurf dude you posted a picture of before?
-
I don't plan on making 30 new Joes and Cobras for SDvsRAW06, so most likely the same one as before.... not even sure what it's called anymore - gotta check!
I'll bring the newest one anyway.... got to make sure Loop will bring his PS2 and such.
As for Blue Smurf....... we'll see.
-
"Blue Smurf" is redundent. "Papa Smurf" is the bad ass that's going to toss everyone out of the Rumble.
-
Can we bring our own custom wrestlers for SDvsRAW06?
I'll bring everyone's favourite tropical superstar - The Fruit!
^Jon
-
I've moved these to their own thread....... they were originally in the U.S. Convention thread.
Here's what I'd LIKE to do for the meet.
1. Have all Custom wrestlers as Joes and Cobras.
2. Use the newest Smackdown vs. Raw 2006 game.
3. Have no 'CAW' characters that don't exist - like Jons character.
4. Have 'self created' CAW wrestlers included. (myself, Loop, etc)
5. Have a 'mini-tournament' of sorts for a G.I. Joe Wrestling Trophy.... yes, there would be an actual trophy.
That's it.
Any suggestions?
If we can't make sure we have 30 CAW Joes and Cobras, then we'll just use the old version of the game.
Mike
-
3. Have no 'CAW' characters that don't exist - like Jons character.
Booooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!
-
What is "CAW"?
-
CAW
Create
A
Wrestler
Or it's the sound Raptor makes when playing with his birds.
;-)
On a side note, I made Tunnel Rat for the SDvsR06 game.
If anyone is interested in making some Joes/Cobras - drop me a PM - the idea is to have 30 different ones for the meet.
Mike
-
I need to know the version because I don't own any of the games and have to have a friend bring one down to poker night to create my wrestler.
I'm not going to waste my valuable poker time creating a wrestler that I can't use at the meet.
Because, as it turns out, I actually hate wrestling. :lol:

Smackdown Vs. Raw 2006 is the PLANNED version to use - as long as there's enough CAWs made to use for it.
IF we end up using the old one - I THINK it's Smackdown: Here Come The Pain.
Mike
-
My buddy Jean's pretty good at CAWing. If I can pry him away from GM Mode for an afternoon, I'll see about making some 87-88 guys.
I guess we'll post when we have a charcter completed so we don't end up with twenty versions of Back-Stop (for example).
-
Here's the official list.
BHT
Headman
Joe Canuck
Outback
Overlord
Tunnel Rat
Roadblack
Crimson Guard
Cutter
Buzzer
Airtight (and he looks cool!)
Ripper
Bazooka
Torch
Ripcord
Cobra Soldier
Scramble
Shockwave
I'll update this as we have more.... but I have a feeling there won't be many more.
Make the guys 'realistic' if possible. For example - Roadblock would be stronger than Firefly, but Firefly would be quicker.
Mike
-
Last night Jeanie and I made:
Shockwave
Papa Smurf
He said he'd like to make a Hit'n Run on his own. I'll update as we progress.

Papa Smurf?
Can we get a pic of the the Shockwave?
I'll get some pics up of the ones I've done.
Also, try to make a Cobra for every Joe you make.
Keeps the teams 'fair'. ;-)
Mike
-
Is there a way of taking screenshots, or should I just point a camera at the TV.
And I'll definitely make an even Joe-to-Cobra ratio. I hope to get twenty of each and play a year of GM mode GI Joe vs Cobra.
Papa Smurf got made because of your picture. Making him was a blast.

anybody in montreal planning to go as a group?

Are you attending?
-
im 80% going!!!! just looking for a couple of guys to do a road trip to the meet..i know jins coming...
any guys from montreal planning to go pm me and will plan something...
-
You guys should discuss this in the MONTREAL forum then.
The more you guys talk 'out loud' about it, the more people from your area would get interested.
Mike
-
Fine then, we will. That thread can be found here (http://http://www.joecanuck.com/joe/board/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=7601#7601). But it's in the Quebec section. Even though most of the Quebec crew is from Montreal, there isn't officially a Montreal section yet. :)

more CAW joes....

Ok guys,
Here's what I'v gotten done so far.
Joes
Joe Canuck
Outback
Tunnel Rat
Roadblack
Cutter
Airtight (and he looks cool!)
Bazooka
Ripcord
Shipwreck
Cobras
Headman
Overlord
Crimson Guard
Buzzer
Ripper
Torch
Cobra Soldier
Dr. Venom
Stinger Driver
I'm making an even amount - 15 Joes, 15 Cobras.
With the amount of midnight shifts my wife has been getting (and is about to get), I'm finding I actually have the spare time each night to make some guys.
So, expect a nice full roster of guys to use at the meet this year.
You can all thank her later. ;-)
Mike
-
Mike, please consider making Chuckles, Falcon or Crazylegs.
The '87 Joes were the best!
-
87 Joes you say? Well I just finished Psych-Out, done in his UK Tiger Force colours, of course. Pics of him and Shockwave exist, just need my camera's strange USB wire.
-
Mike, please consider making Chuckles, Falcon or Crazylegs.
The '87 Joes were the best!
I tend to think the 1984/1985 were the best, but to each their own.
Falcon would be a no - there's no beret to use in the game
Chuckles is easy enough, I may do him.
Crazylegs - I'll see if the parts are there for him, but I don't think they are....
In the meantime, here's some (crappy) pics of a few that I did.
Keep in mind guys, I'm also doing EACH guys own moveset, and stats.
-
I don't see any pics yet Mike.
-
Excellent. Another great '87 Joe is Tunnel Rat. I imagine he'd be really easy to do.
(and a great cruiserweight!)
-
I don't see any pics yet Mike.
Serious?
Dude, there's 3 or 4 pics in my last post.
Honest. :-)
mike
-
I see them.
Cool CG Mike.
-
hey mike i dont see any pics on your post.....
-
Yep, can't see pics.
-
I still see them?
Strange
-
I can't see them either...maybe it's a Firefox thing.
-

I'm using firefox in Linux.

I am using Opera and I CAN see the attachments.
-
Bah. You guys suck.
You SHOULD be able to see them now.
-
Now I can see them.
Speaking of sucking, have you made Goldberg yet? No putting him in panties or anything like that.
-
Now I see them. They look good. I admire your ability to replicate the Cobra sygil.
Here are Shockwave and Psych-Out finally.

Wow. That Psyche-Out is awesome!
-
Looks good Ryan,
Now make TWO Cobras to go with them!
Scramble, if you play online, LMK - I'll meet up with you one day and we can transfer your guys to my card - and vice versa.
Not sure if I should make any woman or not?
Mike
-
Depends on how you feel about watching men punch and kick women...

Let me explain that more so Jon's remarks don't become 'fodder' for other sites and such.
In the previous Joe Meet, we had Scarlett, Lady Jaye, Zarana and Baroness in it.
So, do you guys want them in it again?
-
Well I don't know what this says about me but I seem to recall I always lasted the longest as a woman. Man I hope that bird boy doesn't start quoting that. Anyhow, bring on the ladies I say.
-
Tunnel Rat looks awesome!
And so does Tiger Force Psyche Out! Hahaha!
Let me do Major Barrage and Bombstrike.
-
I should also mention that I have no problem whatsoever with comic book superheroes (male or female) beating each other up.
-
Here's my current list.
Joes
Joe Canuck
Outback
Tunnel Rat
Roadblack
Cutter
Airtight
Bazooka
Ripcord
Shipwreck
Quick Kick
Lady Jaye
Backstop
Cobras
Headman
Overlord
Crimson Guard
Buzzer
Ripper
Torch
Cobra Soldier
Dr. Venom
Stinger Driver
Firefly
Baroness
Croc Master
Yes Scramble, I made someone specifically for you.
Jon, theres' no way I can do Crazy Legs. - Sorry.
It's getting tougher to make the Cobras now.....
Also, what do you guys think of a mini-tournament?
Kinda like a 'King Of The Ring' deal.
You'll be crowned the 'Joe Wrestling King of 2006'
Mike
-
Mike, I'm going to do a happy wiggle just for you.
I don't think Jeanie goes online with his PS2. I'm going to buy a memory card and bring my guys over manually.
-
Jon, theres' no way I can do Crazy Legs. - Sorry.
That's alright. I'll play as Tunnel Rat and Psyche-Out. Thanks for trying. :thumbsup:
-
Just an FYI,
Me and 5 customers just played with the WWE Joes.
Quick Kick is amazing, and Tunnel Rat is MEGA fast (Hyper too!)
Croc Master is freakin' huge and tough. JoeCanuck seems to reverse everything. Backstop.... heh heh heh... he bleeds like a pig!
Especially after 10 chair shots to the head!
I'm loving Tunnel Rats entrance. I used Paul Londons. ;-)
Mike
-
Don't you read the filecards?! "Don't mess with Back-Stop. Even though he's had more broken bones, ripped tendons and severed arteries than anyone else on the Joe Team, he's still strong willed enough to break, rip, or sever something of yours."
Every chairshot is a nail in the coffin, Mike.
-
Hey, to get back to my original question,
What do you guys think of a 'King Of The Ring' type thing?
It would be set up something like this:
Scramble ---------
vs
Raptor ------------/
Loop---------------
vs
Beav---------------/
The winner of those two matches meet each other, and then the winner of that match meets the winner of all the bottom matches.
BHT----------------
vs
Morgardee---------/
Pete The Greek --
vs
Jon------------------/
You'd sign up when you arrive, and have the match anytime during the day.
I think I can wrangle an ACTUAL Statue 'award' for it really cheap.
It would add to the day, and give 'official' bragging rights to someone.
I'd set it up that there would be no MORE than 16 spots available, making a total of 20 matches throughout the day..... or less if both players loose.
I 'really' want tio do this, but I need someone else to be willing to play as well. Regardless of how good (or bad) you may be. Everyone gets lucky in these things sometimes. Heck, I think Morgardee even came close to tossing me out once. ;-)
The matches would be Hardcore, TLC, Ladder, or Steel Cage - just to make things interesting.
Mike
-
I like it. I'm still rusty since I only play at friends' houses, but I enjoy the game and would love to see how far I could go.
-
I'll need to practice my ladder matches. I don't think I've won one yet.
-
I noticed I'm facing off against Mike in this. Man, me and my big mouth. Well then again, won't it be funny if I win. Just give me a chance to have a couple of practice matches.
Aw to heck with it, you're going down Mike! It's gonna be one of those Disney underdog stories.
To quote David Arquett "I will rule you!"
-
I'm in. With my customs locked up, no dio shooting and someone else covering the door I actually get to play this year. (for the first round anyway).
No ladder matches though. I can never figure out how to climb or grab for the belt.
-
-
Dave, you won't be facing me - or you might!?
Whoever 'signs up', will have their name in a 'hat' so to speak.
Then you find out who you're fighting.
That's where the chart comes in - to keep track.
I'll call and see about the trophy. ;-)
EDIT: I called. Going to look at some tomorrow.... or later today.... since it's been so dead today with this snow and cold outside.
Mike
-
Why not just paint a goldberg wrestling figure with gold spraypaint and stick it to an ML base. It's not like anyone's gonna buy them... ;-)
-
-
It's done.
I went and checked out trophys today - it was kinda like building a custom
You pick your base, tower, or cup, top, nameplate, etc.
It's gonna be sweet. ;-)
Mike
-
Alright, which version of this game are we playing again and it's it a straight up 1 pin fall or is it over the top? I think I might finally pick up the game for once, if I get time.
-
Well,
I'm thinking we'll still have our 'rumbles' over the top.
But for the tournament, they will have to be single matches.
What type of matches will be determined when it's your turn.
That's the easiest way I can think of to make this work.
The trophy is big.... I think it's just over a foot tall.
I was gonna go with a little small 5 inch one, but changed my mind to the big one to make it mean more. :-)
Mike
-
So what version of wrestling are we playing? Smackdown vs Raw 2006? I'm thinking about buying a copy if I can find a good deal.
-
Yep. Smackdown vs. Raw 2006.
Better pick it up soon Dave, there's alot of 'tricks' in it, and you can actually run out of stamina in this one!
Mike
-
I'll have to make a foot of room on my shelf then.
-
I'll have to make a foot of room on my shelf then.
before you do that you have to face me in the ring...hehehehehe...
-
I CAW'ed a Raptor last night.
I had to make some compromises. :?
-
-
I'm gonna try to CAW one of the '87 Joes who hasn't been done yet....
-
Hey Mike, guess what I won off ebay...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8263432721&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1)
If that links doesn't work, it's Smackdown Vs Raw 2006 on PS2.
For once I'll at least have a bit of practice. So, can I make my own character and bring that on a card, or are we using default Joes? I ask because if we are doing the elimination setup then it would be nice to use our own profiles (if we have them).
King of the 4 second ring toss loss record.
-
The only problem I see with everyone making their own CAWs is that some folks will 'bulk' their guy up - Speed - 10, Strength - 10, etc.
When I'm making the Joes/Cobras, I'm making it realistic and fair to each one.
For example :
Roadblock has a strength of 9, but a speed of 6.
Tunnel Rat has a strength of 7, but a speed of 9
Backstop has a strength of 7.5, and a speed of 7.5
See? Plus they're all pretty much Heavyweights.
While I have no problem with folks using their 'own' guys, for the tournament, I think it'll have to be limited to the ones I made, or 'approved' by the 'rankings' your CAW has.
Just trying to make it fair for all in the end.
Or....... we could just make it 'real' WWE guys that we use?
mike
-
I think my character will have fairly average stats. Somewhere around 80-82 which seems to be the norm for SDvsRAW characters.
-
Well I won't have the game for at least a week and haven't done this before, so if you give me some guidelines I promise I will stay within those rules. I won't max everything out or use cheat codes (if they are an option).
-
I wish you'd have posted that mike before I spent 5 hours on making and leveling a raptor. :( I've wasted an evening for nothing, and I don't really feel like playing anymore.
Maybe you can set a target number for people to hit with the CAW like 85 or something.
Anyone know how to "destat" a wrestler without losing all the effort made to create it?
I'd have been ok with this if it had been brought up a week ago. I don't really have that many evenings to waste.
Worst of all I'm not even that good, so even having an uber wrestler isn't going to prevent anyone from beating me or anything.
-
-
I volunteer to play Raptor and his uber wrestler in the first round.
Problem solved. ;)
-
Anyone know how to "destat" a wrestler without losing all the effort made to create it?
Assuming you made him in a Superheavy or Heavyweight mode, you can make him a Crusierweight and save him.
Then, alter his points in crusierweight.
Then, go back in and make him a Heavyweight again.
Save that, and make his stats no higher than 85-88.
How's that! ;-)
And to be honest guys, NO ONE except Scramble was up for helping making guys when I asked before - which is why I've spent most of my spare time making nearly 30 of them! ;-)
Mike

Random draws.
I'm thinking to be fair, we'll be pulling names from a 'hat' to see who takes on who..... but I will admit to rigging it so I can kick Morgardee's ass. LOL!
Speaking of the tournament.
I got the call.
I pick up the trophy tomorrow. ;-)
Should I post a pic, or keep you all in the dark?
Mike
-
Ok, I don't mind so much if I don't have to completely redo him to meet the 88 limit.
Getting the same shade of brown for everything took an hour.
Jon, you're going to own me. I suck at this game. ;-)
-
-
I picked up the trophy.
Anyone 'local' that wants to see it, feel free to swing by and check it out.
Or.... should I just post a pic of it?
-
Post the pic. Give us something to think about while we practic.
-
Man, this site has been dead the past week.... what happened?
Here's the trophy.
It's approx. 16 inches tall.
Pete The Greek saw it when he stopped by this past week.
Mike
-
Can I get some measurements on that? I want to make sure I bring a large enough carry-on to take it home.
-
Ah, I thought you were gonna do Stanley Cup style where the winner gets his name engraved on it each year.
But it looks cool!
-
looks great...im ready to rumble....hehehehe
-
I have to book some time later next week to play the game or get use to a Playstation joystick. I only play PC games.
-

We'll use a key and scratch it in. :lol:

Unfortunatley, this is one aspect of the meet I have 0 interest in. I think it's cool to see the custom joe characters, but past that, it just doesn't do it for me.
Hope you all have fun with it though!
-

That's the spirit!!! If you can't beat 'em, back down.
Orrrrr... you can rent the game, learn how to play, and challenge your fellow JoeCanucks. You don't have to win to enjoy yourself. (or at least that's what Raptor's telling himself)

That would include renting a player, and finding time to play it. The rental part isn't so bad, but when you work min 12 hours a day, and have a 1 year old daughter, finding time to play video games just isn't going to happen.
For example, I *love* the game neverwinter nights. Love Love LOVE it. My wife has purchased the 2 expansion packs for me, the first one being 2 years ago now.
I still haven't finished the original game, and both expansions are still in the shrink wrap. Just no time.
So you see the predicament.
-
Holy crap Mike. That thing is huge. And here I thought you were going to spray paint a Goldburg figure gold and slap it on a hockey puck.
well I'm pretty sure there will be mercy from Mike now when he stops my character into the matt. Still, everyone loves an underdog... :thumbsup:
-
For some reason I can imagine Mike letting the match drag on for 20 minutes, putting Morgardee through every table, every guardrail and busting several ladders on him.
Then out of nowhere, Morg hits his finisher and scores the pinfall.

I can see the first half of what you say happening, but I have a feeling the finish would be a little different.
I see Mike putting me thru 20 minutes of hell and then doing one of the Chris Jericho pins. You know, the one where he flexes with one foot on the body of the guy he just beat.
I say this because I just got my game in the mail today. I thought I'd give the game a spin so I played my favorite under dog, Steven Richards and thought Spike Dudley would be an easy win. Spike made me his bitch. :evil:
If I can't beat Spike Dudley, uh, smart money is on Mike for the Mike vs Morgardee match. Still, I'm not backing down. I want to face Mike in the first round of the tournament. Maybe I can get Raptor to throw a handful of white timbit frosting in his eyes or something.
Hey Raptor, wanna be my manager?

Morg,
Play the season mode. After a trip through the RAW season and a trip through the Smackdown season, you'll be a champ.
Take the Hurricane for a whirl, and you'll *feel* like a winner.
-
Set your game settings on EASY as well Dave.
Practice in two player mode to get the feel of the game.
Work on picking up weapons, climbing cages, etc.
Learn a character really well, and use him.
As for me kicking your ass for 20 mins - Jon's vision of what would happen is pretty close.... BUT.
I've been known to get EXTREMELY cocky when playing this... and when I do that, I often loose.
Heck, I was being cocky once in here when 5 of us were playing it.
Myself, two regular customers, a father, and his son - I got tossed out of the rumbnle by the son - he was 5.
I think Loop was here that day actually...
As for the trophy, everyone (around here) is thinking I'm gonna win it.
I have NO clue how good Beav is at this game, or most of you for that matter - the mere fact that Dave bought the game so he can learn it actually has me worried.... what is HE kicks MY ass for 20 mins?!

Ah, then it will be a pleasure to prove them wrong. Mwahahahahaha!!!

Then Mike, you'll have to admit that Goldberg is your daddy.

As long as I can avoid Sleepers and Double KOs and anyone with skill, I'm all over that trophy.

Hey Raptor, wanna be my manager? :shifty:

Need I remind you of Captain Lou Albano?
So I started to play the game with my "Morgardee" wrestler. Started with the RAW side. I've had 3 matches and lost all three. I mean, what the hell. My first match is HHH, second match is HHH and Flair vs Morgardee and Shelton, and third match is a submission match against Flair. Uh, how about starting me off against some jobbers or something, or where is Barry Horowitz when you need him. How about Al Snow at least.
BTW, how do you raise you rating. I know Mike said something about keeping your character around 85 but my guy is at 38. Will I start to win experience points that I use to raise that number?
Man, I'm a total jobber. Pin me, pay me.
-
Just checking which version of the game we're playing. I'm assuming the newest SDvR which I don't have.

I think I lost 5 of my first 6 matches. It takes time!!!
Once you've beaten both RAW and Smackdown campaigns you'll be able to manually set the stats of your wrestler as high as you want. So keep your eye on the gold!
Beav: indeed, SDvR2006

Mike,
I'm CAWing a variety of Vipers but I'm having trouble getting a faceplate. What's the trick?
-

Tell you what Dave.
If we end up meeting up in the Tournament against each other, I'll remove the "Goldberg" remark from your name if you beat me.
If I win, you have to dance for Raptor.

There is no faceplate this time.
Which is why we have no Cobra Commander this year either.

Damn. So much for my giant-shouldered, tiny-headed BAAT.

Wow. That puts quite a damper on a lot of cool cobras. :(

Why am I getting punished?

Big Sal and Little Guido of the FBI (man I miss ECW).
Hit the N-Trance music.....
-

Have you SEEN Dave Dance??!!
He 'busted a move' once here in the store.

What? Wait now. When did I bust a move in the store? Oh Mike, my thumbs are gonna go numb practicing on this game for that one.
Eat chair baby!
So speaking of the game, anyone beat HHH in the steel cage match for the belt? Also, does the story mode have 2 directions per show? I could have turned by back on Shelton or manage him. I chose to manage him and he won his match against HHH do to a count out (thanks to me beating on him outside the ring).

Each campaign is broken up into 3 chapters. For each chapter you "win" you get a trophy. (in some cases, that trophy is an actual person, but enough about the objectification of women in wrestling)
Whether you go the 'good guy' route or the 'bad guy' route has very little effect on the outcome of the chapter.
-
for those of us wrestlingly challenged, will foam fingers be provided for us to wear while we cheer on you square circle warriors? (i wanted to work on my skillz, but I gots an X-Box)
-
My friggin custom character (Jinx) can be used in certain matches. So no Rumble, no big Battle Royals, no Ladder matches, no backstage brawls and no Table matches.
I hope I can still use her in the tournament. I worked extra hard to give her a stylish moveset.
"The keenest eye is that which looks inward!"
-
Have a back up - just in case Jon.
Guess I should pull out my PS2 and start playing again.
I've been hooked on Resident Evil 4 for the last 3 weeks.

Is that because it's a female? If so, then just make an extra copy and turn in into a guy. We gotta have different matches or else it might get dull to watch.
Besides, I really want to hit Mike with a chair.
-
you mean in the game....right?
-
...and to prove why no one has ever accused me of being quick to notice things, Mike, when did you tag me as a Hydro Viper?

I also have Chuckles made. But his moveset is not nearly as stylish. My attempts at Fast Draw and Crazylegs did not go so well...
I gave Jinx a ton of martial arts/luchadore moves that are actually quite convincing. They're both 82's, so no matter which one you fight, you'll get the same level of challenge when facing me. I'll switch back and forth between characters throughout the tourney.
-
Bad news Jon.
Looks like none of the 'female' CAWs will work.
I tried to have a match today, and most of the 'best' match-types wouldn't allow Baroness or Lady Jaye in them.
Worse comes to worse, have her as a Manager. :thumbsup:
When Raps stopped by the other day, I explained 'how' this was going to work for the trophy - just like King Of The Ring.
Problem is, if we have an uneven amount of people sign up - then the final match will end up being a Triple Threat.
Oh, and I've been playing off and on today..... I'm ready for you all now... especially you Dave. ;-)
mike

There's no rule saying I have to use the same CAW for every match. ;)
For normal matches I'll use Jinx. For specialty matches I'll use Chuckles. Either that or I'll make a new CAW with Jinx's stats and moveset (so that everyone faces the same character)
Either way, you guys are going to lose.

C'mon hardcore match. I got me a pixelated chair with Mike's name all over it. :thumbsup:
Mike, even if I do lose before we match up you and I gotta have a one on one match before I head out.
I guess I know what I'm doing tonight. Gotta practice up some more.
-

I expect to have at least one Rumble with you in it, and a Hardcore match against you.
I'd be your tag team partner as well if you want...... but I'd hit you with a chair and let the other team win. ;-)

Congrats to Raptor. Our new champion!!!!
Also, I got a phone call from the Devil. He says he'll need to borrow my space heater for the night. Apparently it's quite chilly down there right now.
