lets make it a year to remember

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

never truly started. i tried a few times but couldn't get into it. I'll give it another shot with tifa.

[Kazsune @Kazsune]

Did you quit SF6 or are you still playing? What's your reasoning?

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

@zatransis akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali akali

[Punk @PunkDaGod]

I agree with this 100% and i believe Sony Inzones should be the monitor since we are forced too play on PS5, also need sound at every station no reason this should ever be a problem at any CPT premier event.

[Kevin @Dual_Kevin]

Coming back from DR and feeling well rested now. I wanted to talk about some issues I had with the event and the pro tour as a whole.

Headsets - no sound
Setups - laggy

Considering we’re playing for a million dollar prize pool, standardized tournament setups need to exist. It makes no sense for our lives to be harder and not know what equipment we’ll be playing on.

Tell me the exact monitor, console, settings, etc., that will be played on at the tournament and I promise you a lot of us pro players we’ll practice on those exact settings beforehand. But this needs to apply for EVERY CPT event. Not trying to get used to a certain monitor one tourney and a different monitor the next tourney in two weeks. What can be done about this? @CapcomFighters

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

for example I realized some people are mixup heavy. others hyper aggressive. some utilize parry very efficiently. others play around grabs.

usually there's a core mechanic or ability that people base their style on and it usually carries over through every fighting game.

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

being new to the fgc, I'm starting to understand style & expression come from your specific playstyle.

combos can be copied. it's harder to mimic the way someone else plays.

i kinda want to figure out the playstyle I want to embody. then start over from ground 0.

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

@Play2XKO the stage is SICK!!! water form senna, background characters, avatar items... this is all so peak.

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

so... i know im stalling on officially changing my tag to "bird", but it's not as simple as just switching. at least not in my head.

logistically, its easier to stick with ghostmondo.

spiritually, bird is my calling.

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

@FGC_Sensei the nerves is tough. only thing I can recommend is desensitizing yourself to those situations.

unfortunately, there's no true way of doing that except to continuously put yourself in those situations.

other like-minded things may transfer over? public speaking, etc. 🤷‍♂️

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

also, avatar legends is a given and I'll give tokon a try.

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

so, with 2xko finally opening me up to the fgc, I'm gonna pick up a few more games due to some of my favorite characters.

2xko: akali
sf6: tifa
ggst: lucy
gbvsr: 2b

also, think I'm gonna pick valorant back up. kinda miss that game.

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

tifa is definitely a better fit as a fighter, but give me jessie raspberry you cowards!

regardless, I'm not hatin. tifa was one of those childhood crushes.

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

yeah... so that's more than enough to get me to pick up sf6 finally.

[Street Fighter 6 @StreetFighter]

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

new official name of the akali/thresh team.

[Stulls @stullsmusic]

@ghostmondo @Play2XKO CHAIN GANG™️

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

@stullsmusic @Play2XKO hook gang was just a reference to the fgc player hookganggod, but I like chain gang so much more!!

[Nicholas “Bird” Gibson @ghostmondo]

@stullsmusic @Play2XKO oh shit! why didn't I think of this team name!! it's official. 'preciate 🤝

reminds me of the old days playing pickup games at the local court.

[Stulls @stullsmusic]
