Where do you live? Any plans to move in the next few months?
I live in the USA (Fresno, CA) and have no plans to move in the next few months.
Competitive Games Played:
Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, King of Fighters 13
Plan to play: Street Fighter vs. Tekken
Are you currently sponsored?
No.
Do you have any obligations that would prevent you from attending major tournament events during the year?
I do not have any obligations at the moment. I am taking online courses and work as an after-school mentor. The job is very lenient towards travel excuses. For example, all of last year I had no trouble asking for days off to travel to Canada Cup, Seasons Beatings, ect.
What are you looking for in a sponsorship?
Having played competitive DotA for 6 years and being sponsored by professional teams such as Team Pandemic and PokerIdol, I have a rough understanding on what a sponsor is looking for.
I believe a sponsorship should, at the very least, include a budget that covers hotel and travel fees for how many events the contract covers. That could include several events a year to only a couple events a year.
In my opinion, when a player is sponsored that player is entrusted to promote his/her sponsor(s) and its product(s) while creating the best results in a competitive and professional environment.
The player should expect the same level of professionalism from the organization that sponsors him/herself in how the player represents the sponsor(s).
Overall, most of what I look for in a sponsor comes from my past experiences.
What does the fighting game community mean to you?
My older brother introduced me to video games when I was younger. We would always compete against each other in games like Street Fighter and Tekken.
He, then, introduced me to DotA and I sought a competitive career in the game. Although the community was the backbone to the game, the community didn't seem fit for me at the time.
For me to go back to my roots and find such amazing people in the fighting game community made me remember that people are connected to people.
People are not connected to the games itself, but rather the people they socialize and play against. With that being said, I felt more comfortable being part of the fighting game community.
Throughout my life, I've found great friends in both professional and casual gaming. However, the fighting game community is where I found most of my true friends.
The fighting game community is raw in that the community itself is the backbone to the games. It's foundation has been built from the ground up on its own.
I've only been present in the past 2 years of the fighting game community, but I think I've found my place in such a strong and progressive community.
Anything else you want us to know?
I am not applying to BROKENTIER to make a quick buck or to just wear a t-shirt.
I am not applying to BROKENTIER to be sponsored to travel to an event in hopes of getting Top 8.
I am applying for an opportunity to be part of BROKENTIER as a professional player and team member in achieving the highest of goals and expectations while promoting BROKENTIER as a brand.
I wish to thank you for opening such an opportunity to players like me. I hope to hear from BROKENTIER soon. Thank you ahead of time for your consideration and time.
Best Regards,

ReplyDeleteNice
@Dejan - Hahaha thanks man. I really wanted BrokenTier to know that I'm not here to mess around. I responded to the application as if I were applying for a job.
ReplyDeleteYO BRO. Long time no talk. Can I spit some game at you (not like that)
ReplyDeleteLike this-I was watching a match of Daigo earlier and noticed some things. I haz some things to say, and some things to ask.
At 0:42, Daigo plinks a cr. FP on Rose's wakeup. Is this just a better frame trap (as far as damage) than cr.mp? I know it's more risky, so my only guess is that Daigo thought he had a good read.
I think it is also good to note that Daigo switches between df, db, df, any punch, for uppercut, and f,d,df. I know that we talked about this before, but I think it would be good for some people to read.
Another thing at 0:49 that I thought is smart ish, but totally habituated by you I'm sure, is holding db. while doing moves. Daigo does db cr.wp at 0:49. I'm going to have to start doing that in case of reversals (right?)(EDIT- after watching more videos, I see this used all the time. Surprised I didn't see this so mcuh before.)
Also, did you know that Daigo is really good? Seriously. That guy has played a lot of street fighter. When he plays, he's probably thinking so much that his head is about to explode.
Now that I'm ranting cause I drank plenty of coffee and wine, I also wanted to point out that I saw Freego try to do a crossup, on the other persons wakeup, with jf (what's the proper abbreviation for jump forward?)
j.f. FP. and he OS s.HK just in case his j.f. FP missed. It was tight stuff.
I also just realized that I crossup tatsu too much, instead of just safe jumping. I think people have caught on to my mvc2 tactics and are just holding forward. I should start safe jumping. PS Miky, since you have online, and mvc2, we should play. That game is da bes. It teaches quick reactions, timing, mind games, and how to be gdlk. Just sayn.
/end rant. Just finished the video. PS where are some updates mang? Ppl be wondrun where u at. Peace.
I'm a tard and didn't link the video. Here.

@Unknown - The crouching fierce into fireball he tried to do at 0:42 was just to push back Rose at a perfect distance. If you do that on your opponent it's completely safe (except for in the corner) and pushes your opponent back just enough to stay out of their poke/footsie ranges.
ReplyDeleteYes, doing DP's consist of alternating from short-cut and doing the motion completely. It all depends on the situation.
Holding back while doing certain moves is great to bait out reversals as well as block in case they mash shorts or jabs. That way you make a safe read while blocking in case they wake-up with anything. This technical also involves late crouch-teching.
Of course, Daigo is very strong. It comes from most of his experience from playing fighting games and being able to travel and play the best.
Daigo was displaying an option select (j.FP OS s.HK).
Doing cross up tatsu too much can be a bad thing. But it also can be a good thing as you conditioned your opponent to always block cross up.
I would love to learn MvC2 and play you, but there's no reason to practice and learn it. It isn't in the competitive scene as much and I would be forced to take time to learn it. I will try my best to learn the game in the near future because I enjoy watching MvC2 and had played it when I was younger.
@Unknown - I haven't been able to post because I've been busy with our local scene as well as practicing for other events. I also have been focusing a lot of school and work.
ReplyDeleteAs for school, I have an online class that requires a lot of work to be submitted online. After writing for the class assignments, I sometimes don't want to write anything on my blog because I want to get away from the PC. I do plan on making a post, but I'm not sure when. You will know why I've taken so long to post once I do get to it. I apologize for the lack of posts and thank you for asking, but the blog is not a priority at the moment.
I've also been doing some one on one sessions (both online and offline) with other people. If you have any other questions you know where to find me. :)
"The crouching fierce into fireball he tried to do at 0:42 was just to push back Rose at a perfect distance"
ReplyDeleteTight. Thanks. ( I remember you mentioning ppl doing that after jump in's.)
"Holding back while doing certain moves is great to bait out reversals as well as block in case they mash shorts or jabs."
I know I've thought of this before, but never really implemented it. Fricking mvc2 always holding forward tactics! ! ! !
"It comes from most of his experience from playing fighting games and being able to travel and play the best."
This. And he has an i9 processor.
"I would love to learn MvC2 and play you, but there's no reason to practice and learn it, except that it's the best game ever."
Ya. I know it's not played a lot. It's sooooooooo legit though. Maybe when you are getting paid the big duckets to play games, you could try it out more.
" I also have been focusing a lot of school and work."
I figured that this was the case. Good luck with the busyness and hope to hear from you soon.
