@Evo If you aren't in the club anymore, they will rewrite history to make it seem like you were never even in it.

[tragic @fightelement]

Hey @Evo, how did Daigo get the nickname "The Beast"?

Who made the video and coined "Moment 37"?

Asking for a friend.

[Evo @Evo]

How did Daigo Umehara become The Beast?

@NinjaGrinder @Evo Oh, I know! Props! <3

[tragic @fightelement]

@NinjaGrinder @Evo That is definitely not true. It came from Alpha 3 Nationals. I said "The beast has been unleashed" when Daigo was going off on team USA. Also, same time and place "press some buttons, Cole" came from.

@jamessmk @Master_Steve00 My man, they didn't even TELL me I wasn't going to be the MC once Sony came in. That's after 20 years of being the finals day MC and being one of the original planners of the event, and the guy that NAMED it. Trust me, they don't care. =)

Appreciate the kind words, though! <3

Crazy to think this was almost 30 years ago. Tragic the Gathering was about getting all the IRC homies (our "Discord" before Discord) into one place. This was after B3 but before B4 and B5 (precursors to EVO). We had like 35-40 people in a tiny townhouse in NorCal for 3 days.

Sadly not able to join y'all at the EVO Awards this year but felt it might be a good time to share some old photos of some of the OG scene builders that attended Tragic The Gathering '97

[tragic @fightelement]

@SuperDojo LOL. I'm actually way better now! =)

[tragic @fightelement]

@SuperDojo Trivia: Alpha 3 Nationals is where we all met Daigo for the first time, and I coined the nickname "The Beast" which has stuck forever.

It's also where the lesser known "Press Some Buttons Cole" meme came from. @AfroCole =)

[tragic @fightelement]

We also had a smaller gathering at the same house for Alpha 3 Nationals, which many other OG's showed up: @SuperDojo Mike Watson, Toan, Martin Vega, and the rest of the usual suspects.

[tragic @fightelement]

@ProtomCannon @Pond3r @jchensor @GunterJPN @OkamotoKitchen @AfroCole @TheAlexValle @Sirlin Trivia: TTG was coined by @derek_omni IIRC.

There was also a TTG2 (following year), and a very small TTG3 at a different location (1999).

[tragic @fightelement]

Some names:

@ProtomCannon, @Pond3r, @jchensor, @GunterJPN, LA Akira / White Gerald / @OkamotoKitchen, Black Gerald, @AfroCole, Bob Painter, Martin Hector, FlipMeign (Mark Acero), Joanna, TobiasNYC, Kris and Omar from VA, Castel, DLC outfit @TheAlexValle, @Sirlin and many more!

@vryu123 @FATALFURY_PR Gotcha. Let me do some more tests. Good find.

[tragic @fightelement]

@vryu123 @FATALFURY_PR I thought the EX would scale more... but DP AC into normal route does more than DP C for same combo. But... if you do DP AC into L2 RS then follow-up, you don't do more (it's drastically scaled). Identical follow-up.

I'll do some more testing. Very odd.

[tragic @fightelement]

Yep. We in there!

[MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls @MARVELTokon]

Tōkon Fighters! Our team continues to work on improving the gameplay experience thanks to your feedback. Here is a glimpse of all the changes that are already in place!
While development is still underway, we'll have a list of the currently implemented changes to share with you before Arc World Tour.

[tragic @fightelement]

@OlafRedland Yeah, I've tested a number of combos into and out of Raging Storm. He has an 800 DMG version with no Hidden Gear using L2 after a launch.

[tragic @fightelement]

Geese Super MAX 880 Damage!

Same combo as before with 623AC Starter.

So close to 900!

#CotW #CotW_Geese #CotW_NightmareGeese

[tragic @fightelement]

@vryu123 Check out the height. Pretty sure we can sneak way more stuff in there to get closer to 900.

Also, the 236A, 236C works with the old launcher... but pretty sure we need a tad more height to get the rest. This variation may be it.

[tragic @fightelement]

Geese 867.

900 around the corner?!
