Zang's Hell Murder
A guide on Akuma's Super and Ultra 1
by Rob Zheng


ABOUT THE AUTHOR
----------------
My name is Rob Zheng, ZangerGB4 on Xbox Live and PS Network. I've been a serious Akuma player since Marvel vs Capcom 2, following into Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and then Street Fighter 4, Super and Arcade Edition as well as Marvel vs Capcom 3. I've competed in several tournaments and focused on Akuma as my only character through all of them. This guide is for the use of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition.


INTRODUCTION
------------
The Instant Hell Murder is one of the most interesting Super/Ultra's of Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition. It has a few odd drawbacks that no other characters can relate to. It is very damaging, being tied for 2nd with T.Hawk having Zangief at 1st, of none buffed Ultra’s (Maktoto Supered and Hakan Oiled). Its utility greatly changes the options of the opponent once it’s ready to be used. There are several gimmicks for both the Super and Ultra. Of them, most of these gimmicks require conditioning the opponent for a little bit but lucky for us, the Super and Ultra are available later in the match, unless you're going in the 2nd or 3rd round with a Super. Finally, the satisfaction of landing the Instant Hell Murder is just an amazing feeling. Overall, this move is much more complicated than most Super/Ultra's and by mastering the in's and out's of it can be very rewarding as puts you back into the fight if you have not already just won with it. Through this article, I will be referring to Akuma's Super(Raging Demon) and Ultra 1(Wrath of the Raging Demon) as the Instant Hell Murder(because it sounds bad ass). I will be specific on which one I am addressing.

SUPER AND ULTRA PROPERTIES
--------------------------
The Super is a zero frame grab meaning, if your opponent is next to you when you activate it, they will be grabbed. The Ultra however is not. The Ultra is invincible for the first 6 frames, in cancelable from normal moves and has the ability to 'catch' people out of the air. Both need to be landed at the same distance as his normal grabs. Both have their places and are used differently. After mastering the usage of the Super, you'll begin to attempt to save EX stock when you can. You cannot combo into either besides using a Focus Attack so you have no offensive guarantees but you don't have to worry about Damage Scaling weakening such a powerful tool. Because of the properties, there are a lot of ways to land this move while being sure not to whiff it. Like Akuma, it is very versatile and powerful and a must to master.

SHORTCUT
--------
First before anything else, it is very crucial to know the shortcut of the Instant Hell Murder as you will be able to land it extremely easier for whatever plan you have for it. It is simply pressing LP,LP and then F+LK+HP all 3 at once for Super. LP,LP and then B+LK+HP for Ultra. Its faster and slightly easier mentally than hitting LP,LP,F/B,LK,HP. Especially when freaking out as you're close to being KO'ed and throwing out the Super/Ultra is your last hope for coming back or even winning the match. There are other shortcuts but they are not necessary to learn as anything you could achieve with those shortcuts, you can achieve with this one. It's also mentally the easiest of all other shortcuts and once again, in a real match with low health, you want the easy shortcut.



MENTAL STATE
------------
Having the Instant Hell Murder one your side is very reassuring in Street Fighter. Even better, having a Super and a fully charged Ultra is amazing as it secures high damage as long as you're smart to land both.

2:18 in the final round is a great example how a Super, a fully charged Ultra and a simple forward throw can take down a player from full health even though Akuma was a hit from being Perfected on. With that said, never give up or feel like you have lost until the round is actually over. The Instant Hell Murder is comeback central.
Because you cannot combo into the Instant Hell Murder besides the Focus Attack, it does not get damage scaling to reduce the damage of the Super/Ultra. The Ultra is also very high in damage itself. Therefore anytime landing the Ultra, it's going to hurt. No character can be KO'ed by just the Super and full Ultra alone as Damage Reduction is reduced relative to low stamina through the course of a match. Super and Ultra damage damages Seth for 796 if the Super is used first, 791 if the Full Ultra was used first.
Having the assurance of having the Instant Hell Murder will help you play calmer, more confidently and overall you will secure more wins with this mental state of "It’s not over till it’s over". Currently 20% of my won rounds were finished by the Ultra. 10% of won rounds were finished by the Super. Other wins of course had my Super/Ultra landed but was not the final blow and some matches, my Ultra was not even active to use(because l pwnd them :p). That being said, 30% is decently high of matches I've won with the Super/Ultra. Of course, it’s much better to win without the Ultra even being active, but its a nice having a bomb as your back up.

DRAWBACKS
---------
The Instant Hell Murder is different than other Super's and Ultra's in its command to pull off. Where other characters have a motion followed by attack buttons, Akuma must first input the attack buttons. Because of this, Akuma players must hide the input so the opponent not sees the Super/Ultra coming. This is easily solved by using a normal or special attack and buffing the command of the 2 LP's followed by the F/B + LK + HP either during or after the normal or special attack as some moves like the Hurricane Kick cannot be cancelled into Super/Ultra.

Buffering in the air however has its disadvantage. While other characters can empty jump (jumping without attacking in the air) in the air and land right into their Super/Ultra. Akuma must buffer the 2 LP's in the air which causes recovery frames upon landing. Depending on your set up, this may have Akuma be hit before the Instant Hell Murder can come out. The Instant Hell Murder cannot be combo'ed into besides using the Focus Attack followed by dashing either forward or back in which during the dash, you buffer in the 2 LP's.
Lastly, I have no idea why but landing the Ultra gives your opponent 2 stocks of EX gauges so if it didn't seal match for you, your opponent now has the option of using 2 EX moves, possibly a Super or an extra FADC available. Something I highly dislike about the Ultra.

BUFFERING
---------
Whiffing 2 LP's before going into Instant Hell Murder is extremely no0bish. Because of how the Instant Hell Murder works, it has to be deceitful. Even if you use it as a reversal from blocking a Dragon Punch, by whiffing the 2 LP's, you may hit the opponent as they come down which then makes it possible for the opponent to evade. Therefore, buffering is very necessary to hide the intention, insure no accidental hits hit the opponent and also to set up the opponent. The different ways to buffer have different set ups, some being known by name such as the Kara Demon. Some are risky gimmicks to bait and hope your opponent reacts how you hope while others are guaranteed after seeing you action your opponent makes that you were expecting. Apparently, we are able to react to something 8 times faster if we are waiting and expecting it than not.

CONDITIONING
------------
If you are able to condition your opponent, you won the match. Street Fighter is all about reading people or more so, guessing correctly about the action they are about to take. Conditioning may take place in general or in specific situations. Generally, by having a very strong offense, you can condition your opponent to play more defensively which you can then apply going for a throw or a slower overhead attack because you are sure they will be scared to counter attack. Specifically, you can condition an opponent to use or not use a move by intentionally giving results that would positively or negatively reinforce that person to use that move. An example would be to apply heavy pressure but leave small gaps, such as cr.LP,cr.LP,cr.LP,F+MP(overhead) where a Dragon Punch could stop the pressure during the overhead attack. If they use the Dragon Punch, they were a little bit more positively reinforced to use the Dragon Punch again under pressure. If they keep on defense, they will block or get hit by the overhead. This tactic is risky as you are intentionally gambling your Stamina in hopes later in the match you will be able to capitalize in the conditioning. If you conditioned them well, of course what better way to capitalize than using the most powerful move you have. I like to try conditioning when I have a life lead in the first round as it will be more effective long term and I can afford a hit but I don’t highly suggest trying to condition opponents risking health all the time, especially on characters with much more Stamina such as Zangief and especially if your opponent has the life lead. This leads me to my next sections, gimmicks.

GIMMICKS
--------
Conditioning the opponent very powerful tool into landing not only the Instant Hell Murder but anything you want in Street Fighter. However, you probably will want to land the Instant Hell Murder before breaking the conditioning you worked on and also as much as you condition someone, you do not know for sure 100% what they are about to do. You can only hope that they believe you are as big of a fool as you let on and hopefully when you want to lure out that Dragon Punch that they will believe they should use it because it will land just like the last 3 times they were getting up from wakeup state or under pressure. Usually gimmicks aren't too bad because they are after all gimmicks so the chances of landing the Instant Hell Murder through a gimmick are high but only the first time. Good thing there’s more than one gimmick for the Demon.

REVERSAL DEMONS
---------------
These are the 100% Instant Hell Murder's that change the way your opponent must play when either Super/Ultra is available. Of course, unlike combos where you're successful attacks now lands you a guaranteed Super/Ultra, the Instant Hell Murder's guarantee comes from the opponent making an unsuccessful attack. As I mentioned earlier, reaction speeds are much higher when expecting something. Noted, you have to know what to expect. Some reversal demons are harder than others depending on your opponent’s moves. Reading frame data of course always helps give you an idea about how strict timing is. Also, the same move has different speeds, different angles and recovery times and EX moves can vary as well. So even if you know a special move is coming, it can be rough to know which of the 4 options your opponent may use and for some, you must know its coming or you may be too late or too early. The benefit is that if you are not that great getting in and landing combos, this route is a kind of lazy man's way of landing the Ultra. The Instant Hell Murder does not get Damage Scaling which reduces the damage of your Ultra so you deal the full damage of the Instant Hell Murder you have open. It’s great to KO an opponent who was at half health only 5 seconds ago. I'll give you guys a simple run down of different types of attacks and how quickly you have to be in inputting the Instant Hell Murder.

Anti Airs vary in difficulty. I will use the Dragon Punch as an example. The light Dragon Punch is very quick so in order to land the Instant Hell Murder, you must buffer the 2 LP's DURING the blockstun and then the F/B+LK+HP extremely quickly right after. Of all Dragon Punches, this will be the hardest. The other two Dragon Punches are easier as they go up a little higher giving you a little more time to make the input. You may also be a little late with the input but you may jab them as they are coming down which is why I suggest inputting the Anti Air Demon just to be safe which is D+LP+MK, D+LP+MK,F/B+LK+HP. Finally the EX Dragon Punch which is very tricky for two reasons. It goes very high up which if you expect a light Dragon Punch; you may make the inputs too quickly and go under them. For something that is so powerful, you do not want to screw that up. Also depending on how close they were to you when they used the EX Dragon Punch, they may actually land on the other side of you. If you have only the Super or the Ultra available, you may hit the wrong direction and no Instant Hell Murder comes out. Even if you have both, you probably intend to land one of them over the other. Example if you land a Super which does not KO your opponent and the Ultra would have KO'ed your opponent. Then, they end up winning that round, you are now going into the next round with a loss and no Super when you could be going into the next round with a win and a Super. Or even worse, you just lost the match. You might accidently land a barely charged Ultra, only doing slightly more damage than the Super but now lost the chance to land a stronger Ultra. Depending on your playstyle and based on which character you are facing, you always want to make sure the Instant Hell Murder you land is the one you intended. For the EX Dragon Punch, I suggest going into training room and learning which distances have your opponent cross over you while landing. When you figure it out though, you can calmly input the Instant Hell Murder and know for sure its catching them on their way down.
Horizontal Specials (excluding projectiles) all recover fairly quickly but can be hit by the Instant Hell Murder. These inputs are extremely quick and sometimes you may actually be baited. Blanka's Rolling Attack may not come all the way to you (light version) and you may input a Instant Hell Murder that he will jump over. It's honestly a bit hard but you can stop yourself from finishing the inputs. If you expect a Rolling Attack but you're worried about making the inputs on a fake short Rolling Attack, try to wait till you definitely see the blockstun occur and input the 2 LP's then. A very good player will understand some moves they have are just not worth even using because you have a nearly fully charged Ultra and they would lose if they would get hit by it but have enough life that they can take you without using that move. E.Honda's Sumo Headbutt is another example that you must be quick one. It will usually appear that they will be landing and able to jump before the Instant Hell Murder connects but the recovery frames are longer than it will appear and you will get the grab. If you're not sure about some specials, check the frame data to see how strict your timing has to be. Remember for these, you pretty much have to expect it coming to properly react to it. Trying to input the command as a reaction will most likely be too late.
Lastly, if you're an Akuma player, you must know the long drawn out battles with T.Hawk. You'll love to learn his Condor Spire is nearly useless against you. When blocking the Condor Spire, the closer you are to him when he activates it, the less he will bounce back. You can then follow with a HK as it will connect when he lands. When your Instant Hell Murder is up, just walk back and forth, maybe jump around to bait him to use it. When he does, just calmly input the Instant Hell Murder of your choosing. You don’t even have to be fast about it and it will grab him. Haha now go enjoy that fight.

KARA DEMON SUPER
----------------
Kara Demon is done by using the overhead chop so you can buffer the Instant Hell Murder on top of getting in a little closer to your opponent, not A LOT though. For Kara Demon, I highly suggest the Super over the Ultra as the Super is a zero frame grab meaning your opponent cannot dodge it if at the flash, was right next to you. The Ultra can be avoided if they were not committed to any action such as attacking, dashing or charging a Focus Attack. You use the Kara Demon while pressuring your opponent so the Super makes much more sense as they will be holding back, not attacking. The easiest method of Kara Demon is F + LP + MP, LP + MP, F/B + LK + HP. You may ask why there is a MP in the 2nd command and the answer is simply, it’s just easier mentally and makes no difference. I like using this time to time if my opponent is blocking too much. Don't use it against extremely aggressive, crazy about reversal opponents.


ANTI AIR DEMON ULTRA
--------------------
The Anti Air Demon is great against players who go for simple jump ins. You have to be careful against unique air attacks however. The plan is to lower your hitbox with D+MK while buffering the Instant Hell Murder so their limb is literally sticking through your body because of the invincibility frames and then it catches them as it lands. The easiest way to input the Anti Air Demon is to hit D+LP+MK,D+LP+MK,B+LK+HP. This input is the mentally simplest input. You do not want to Super because it is not invincible and you'll simply be hit. Tokido lands this like crazy if you watch his matches. You have to know that your opponent plans to hit your mid section or lower for this to work as if they hit high enough, you'll get hit going into it. It also has to happen the same time your opponent attacks. If the Ultra comes out and he has not hit an attack button, after the animation, you can be hit out of it. As much as its nearly a guarantee, you have to know for sure your opponent is sticking out a limb in the right place and not using a unique attack as some will hit you. Its not my favorite Instant Hell Murder but its good to know when I notice my opponent is a forward jump HK nut.



FIREBALL ROUNDHOUSE DEMON ULTRA
-------------------------------
This is a simple set up from across the screen that assumes your opponent is going to forward jump over your fireball. Simply throw a light fireball as its the slowest and has the least recovery frames. The combination on it being slower and having less recovery frames gives you the time to hit LP+HK,LP+HK,B+LK+HP. You'll do a double round house which the ending frames get cancelled into the Ultra which your opponent lands into. There is a lot of flaws to this though as different characters jump with different arcs, different angles, some float. Overall, you'll really have to know which characters to use it on. Not that great, but something people do to catch people out of the air.

HURRICANE DEMON SUPER
---------------------
This is a little dirty gimmick that works on people who are crouch blocking too much. Simply add pressure to your opponent in a blockstring and follow any of the Bread n Butter combos that lead to a Light Hurricane Kick. You want your opponent crouching so the Hurricane Kick whiffs and while in the air, input the Super, hitting the F+LK+HP upon landing. When you land, the Super will connect as you are point blank. Don't assume this will work more than once as people will remember it and will usually try to jump away after the Hurricane Kick the second time around. It is nice as it gets you in point blank range without putting your opponent in hitstun/blockstun. Use this against people that block too much and don't go for much reversals or offense in general.

DEMON FLIP PALM DEMON
---------------------
Sometimes you get desperate haha. This is for opponents who are staying away from you and you need that Instant Hell Murder to land. Both Super and Ultra work great in their own way. The gameplan is to use the Demon Flip to get close while inputting the 2 LP's in the air which happen to give you the palm attack in the air. The palm recovers immediately and as you land, the Instant Hell Murder comes out. The Super you want to land at point blank range so you really have to know your distances well with the demon flip. If done correctly, as long as your opponent didn’t jump before you landed, you will land the Super. The Ultra is a little gimmicky. Sometimes you may want to go over them with a little room to avoid the range of light attacks and grabs upon landing. If they attempt a HP or HK, it'll be to slow and they will be caught. Sometimes using an EX Demon Flip Palm to Ultra is better as the speed is faster to catch them off guard but in the end it's how they react to it. Most people try to guess which way to guard the Demon Flip which is great if you use the Super at point blank. If using the Ultra, after they realized it was whiff, they will try to make you pay during the recovery in which the Ultra will catch. It is still risky however but the common reaction most players tend to have ended up in your favor. A small note, some players trying to catch you in the air gets hit by the palm in the air which is a nice little bonus.

CROSSUP DEMON SUPER
-------------------
My favorite Super set up. This is a great example of conditioning and I land this 95% of the time. There are two things important to setting this up. The first is that my general playstyle, I like to go for cross up attacks on my opponents wakeup. I go for cross ups like crazy actually. So my opponent knows to hold Forward to block the cross and then they prepare to block low. The second factor is this Instant Hell Murder must be used on wakeup. The gameplan is to land pointblank next to the opponent upon wake up on the other side of them and hit them with the Super which is guaranteed. The conditioning from the many, many cross ups has the opponent at this point naturally hold Forward to block the crossup. After the player sees the blockstun, they would attempt to usually block low. However, there is no blockstun as 2 LP's are whiffed in the air and the final command is pressed upon landing. This tactic of cross ups on wake up to finally crossing over to Super lands so much it is ridiculous. This is my preferred tactic for using the Super for all readers. Hopefully crossups are part of your natural playstyle but if it isn't, when close to getting a Super, just go for a few cross ups just too quickly condition them and they will most likely fall for it.

SAFE BAIT DEMON ULTRA
---------------------
My favorite Ultra set up. It's gimmicky by a lot but it's a great gimmick that will have you winning matches over and over again. If your playstyle with Akuma is aggressive, even better. The plan with this Ultra is to bait out a reversal on wake up as you flip over them and land hitting the Ultra. You have to watch out for light version of the reversal as 3 frame reversals will recover quickly enough to dodge and things like Sumo Headbutt or Psycho Crusher will go too far for you to catch.
First you need to score a knock down. If you go for this tactic without a knockdown, any good player will throw you upon landing. After completing the knockdown, you want to move around but end up as close as possible to them when they are getting up from wake up. Right before they are able to go for their grab or reversal, flip over them and input the 2 LP's in the air hitting the final command upon landing. If they went for a reversal, they will whiff and you will catch them in the Ultra upon landing. If they went for a grab, they will most likely attempt to grab you again on landing but you will be out of range since you were so close to them on the floor. Also light attacks will not be in range to hit you and heavy attacks will be to slow and you will catch them due to invincibility frames. It’s the perfect range to use the Ultra because people will most likely try to attack you and the only attacks fast enough are not in range. The only way for them to avoid this is for them not to hit you upon waking up AND also not to try to hit you upon your landing. This is rare that someone will do this and if they did not attacking upon wake up, they highly most likely will try to hit you upon your landing. It’s very dirty but it lands a lot.
The last tournament I was at, I developed a quick fan base for being consistent with landing the Instant Hell Murder before the tournament started and 2 of my opponents even told me they knew I was baiting a reversal but they just ended up throwing out the reversal anyway. As Akuma players, we don't worry too much about our own wake up but wake up is a big part in Street Fighter and many players, especially aggressive ones go for reversal wake ups. Also do not worry the reversal will auto-correct. If you timed it RIGHT before they are up, they will go the wrong way.
Lastly noted, if you notice your opponent did not go for a reversal upon waking up and has just remained crouched or starts walking away from where you are about to land from jumping and crossing over, you have enough time to notice no aggressive action and not finish the Ultra. You don't waste the Ultra nor take any risk of getting hit this way. If I have my Ultra available and it can do good damage relative to the remaining health they have left, this is my usual gameplan outside of REVERSAL DEMONS. Unless the opponent is extremely defensive and very rarely attacks, they will probably fall for this at least the first time you use this. You're welcome.


DOUBLE MURDER
-------------
My term for landing 2 Instant Hell Murder's one directly after another. This is just a combination of both the SAFE BAIT DEMON followed by the CROSSUP DEMON. I always land the Ultra first as if things go terribly wrong; I did not waste a Super for next round. After landing the Ultra, on slimmer characters, take a step back before crossing up and crossup so you land exactly when they rise. The reason why this works so often is because after getting hit with the Ultra, players are immediately defensive and attempt to block what they believe is crossup jump in which leads them to get hit by the Super. Anytime the Ultra is landed, you will notice the opponent playing more defensive even if that was the only hit you scored on them. The thought process is that they just opened themselves up for big damage and have to be more careful. As that is fresh in their heads the Super lands.

LUCKLY DEMON
------------
Sometimes you play someone who is honestly just better than you. They understand you are waiting for a good time to use the Instant Hell Murder so they play in a way where you cannot pull out any of the ways to ensure it landing and when you try to use a gimmick, they already saw it coming and avoiding it. If you ever played Texas Holdem, the great players can read you like a book and there’s not much to do about it. However the great players cannot read someone new to the game or someone who just isn't that smart. A player cannot counter your plans if you have no plans. In this scenario, you might end up trying to throw a Instant Hell Murder out when it doesn't make sense. For your opponent to beat you they must attack and every attack is a chance to use the Instant Hell Murder. The video linked above in the section MENTAL STATE is when I barely won the first round, got crushed the second round and was  getting absolutely destroyed the final round. The player was straight up better than me and I just threw out an Ultra with no plan and then I got lucky. And then I got a forward throw in and then got lucky again with the Super and won the match. If you feel your opponent knows you are eager to set him up for the Instant Hell Murder, sometimes it’s just best to throw it out there with no plan and hope it lands because if you're not playing smart, he cannot read you. In other words, do random stupid things you wouldn't normally do and maybe you'll get lucky. I know I give the best advice.


DEMON VS DEMON
--------------
So I have tested and tested and tried to research why a Super may beat a Ultra, Super beat another Super, Ultra beat a Super or Ultra beat another Ultra. I cannot find out how two colliding Instant Hell Murders has as someone picked as the winner. It has nothing to do with who goes first. The only thing I can tell you for sure is that if an Instant Hell Murder is active on someone waking up and that person wakes up uses either Super or Ultra, the person waking up will be the winner of the two Demons colliding. If it's not an important match or you just have balls, while you see the animation of the other Akuma charging up, slam on the LP until the animation is over and hit the F/B+LK+HP immediately and you might as well go flip a coin haha. It's not a suggested tactic but people go nuts as it usually determines the winner based off nothing but luck, its fun to do, and you have to remember, we play to have fun.

CONCLUSION
----------
Despite the drawbacks the Instant Hell Murder has, both the Super and Ultra version have many interesting uses. Because of the different properties of each, using each is completely different though at a glance they seem like the same thing. You will never worry about damage scaling and the Ultra is straight up powerful and will have you making comebacks like crazy. There are so many ways to land both and after landing one; your opponent will be more careful and defensive on their approach which is great for Akuma players because Akuma plays best aggressive. Having them fearful also makes landing the Super even easier. Just the presence of the Ultra limits what an opponent is able to throw out and that advantage alone can win you a match without even using the Ultra but just having the threat of it there.
Note if there are any flaws with this guide, let me know and I'll be happy to edit it. We all just want to get better after all. Good luck to dragging some souls instantly to hell :D

Sup Guys, my body is spent....

K so weds late night, chilled with Rita and Monica as they came over to chill and smoke hookah with me. Caught up, talked bout a lot of stuff going on in we're involved with and glad they kept me company as l wanted for Colin and Matt to get home. After, got Colin's PS3 and got to work real fast on God of War 3 thanx to Brown being able to buy a ton of games with plans to return them within the 7 day limit even tho l ended up only playing God of War 3 lol. Worked on that for a big chunk of the night. Some Angel, some food and chilling and lots of God of War 3. The game is pretty tough, wont lie but l learn quick tehehhe.




Woke up later on thurs, called up the casting for 'The Tester' and told them l got a PS3 and l was already knocking out one of the best known PS3 exclusive games. He said good and we'll settle in things on monday haha YEAAAAA!!!!!! PARTY!!!!!!!!!11 Slept on and off and l dont get why l sleep so much. l think its cause its still recovering from the weeks that l go out 4-6 days in a week and stay up for 30 some hours. Its rough partying hard.

Fri woke up and hit MD and went to DB w Niko from Otakon. Got mad drinks and food and got pretty drunk as a pregame and then hit Modern as it was friend's birthdays and junk. Danced, got drinks and thank you Ghost for the shots.

 

Yeaaa lm a giant. Got drunk and found friends everywhere. Had a good night and the music didnt get real chill like usual in the last hour. l was glad. Pced back and crashed in my car lol. YeaaaAaa winging plans dont work out toooo well hahah it was like 450am or so. Woke up and got food, went to see the movie Rise of the Planets of the Apes which l liked a lot. Explained it VERY WELL. Def geniusly written. Went and got Judy's crew and we got food and alc for the her bday party. Started the bbq, drank, smoked hookah and met a ton of people. Harris had a dope set up and it was a fun night socializing and meeting so many people. Ended being forced to dance lol and ehh flares to buttspin fail.... l was drinking well.

















Pced out and help give Sally a ride back home. Got lost a few times hitting DC but l got there. Had to run to several banks as the doors were locked even tho most these banks had that side room for just ATMs that usually are left open. Found a bank finally and got money and hit Ultrabar and got drinks and met up with Michelle. Steph was around somewhere but she was apparently really gone lol. Drank chilled dance lol the combo. Had fun even tho l got there at 130am but it opens till 3 so l was good. Gave Michelle a ride back to her hotel as the bus left earlier for all the sorority girls. Drove allll the way back home home and got home at 7am or so. Slept for 13 hrs and woke up to Domkey saying yo Yakitori boy w Hack. Called Brown and he was down to go as well.

Lifestyle choice.








So we hit Yaki and got Asahi Godzilla cans hahaha about 3 beers in one. Got sushi, thank you Brown and was thinking of singing but the guys werent drunk and wouldnt sing sober. Its not so much, getting drunk to be BRAVE but its more to get drunk so you have the EXCUSE of saying 'l was drunk'. Drinking and then using it as an excuse is the oldest save anyone could ever use. Its cheap and we alllllllllllllllllllllllllllll do it. If your friends make fun of you for a girl you made out w at a party... you KNOW youre gonna say 'l was drunk'. Anyway... drank there and hit up this hipster spot Dom kinda likes but it was kinda bad. So we hit Byblos for late night hookah and yo it was packed. Loud music, people dancing, hot ass waitress, hookah and spanish fries. I HAD A GOOD NIGHT!! So we got pretty buzzed off that hookah and ate fries like our job. It was pretty amazing.












Good night indeed. So hit back all sloshed face and knocked out pretty early tho l woke up

But 1st hit practice at Ryan's studio. Started my sister on windmills. l know shes jumping into a lot but why not. Shes got footwork and a baby and chair freeze. l wanna keep it fresh for her to always have stuff to work on while cleaning up what she does have. Had a very good session and lm glad shes getting really excited about it. Hit back and yea.... God of War 3 from 1230am till 530pm..... 17 hrs.. It happens but l did everything possible. PS ID ZangerGB4.

Every play a game for 17 hrs straight?! The agony. 3 spots in the game were ridiculously hard. Domkey warned me bout one boss fight. The Spider Boss on the 7th level. HOLY FUCKING SHITTTTTTT what a fucking boss fight. But l finish the fight. Like l always do hehe. Oh yea, in playing God of War 3 l felt the earthquake. East coast is cool like the west coast now. Thought it was part of the game till l paused it. Wasnt scared but more curious. Wasnt even sure if it was someone on the roof doing construction or what haha. So yea... l was gonna hit practice and then go to Yakitori boy as their tues nights are crazy and then Arrow Swim Club for Industry Night for people that are gogo dancers, djs, hosts, bartenders, bouncers ect who cant party fri and sat night cause they are working. But yea.... l was up for a very long time again. l think 23 hours. Knocked the fuck out.



So woke up late on weds and bullshitted. Hit practice w my sister and met up w the guys and practiced. Worked w my sister on windmills and damn yo her improved is really good. Guess lm THAT great of a teacher hahaha jk. But for real, lm really happy how quickly this is coming along altogether. Puts me in a good mood. l wish l had someone working me w me fully when l was learning windmills. Hopefully she gets them faster than l did. It took me 8-10 full practices to get them. Hit back and chilled and later got my 360 from Colin and Matt and gave them back their PS3. Thank you guys.

So dled the Street Fighter III 3rd Strike Online Edition and its aiight. Not a big fan of Akuma as his Instant Hell Murder is mad shitty in it. Like no set ups whatsoever besides kara demon'ing it at a close range. No gimmicks or anything. Played a lil but SF4 is wayyyyyyyyy better. l think SFII was better than SFIII also. Ontop of that... Akuma once again getting more NERFS!! Forward throw adding 2 frames so his set up for safe jumps(double dash jump attack) is gone. Also Demon Flip Palm... no longer an overhead. l dont get it. In SFIII dive kick and palm is both overhead. In SF4 both can be blocked high or low. LAME. So went to bed early morning.

Woke up at 730pm on thurs. Yeaaa thurs wasnt too eventful. Lots of Street Fighter tho haha. More training room. Trying out new ideas. Always stuff to try out. l find a few things but end up only keeping one thing long run of things l discover. Just you gotta play SOLID w Akuma. No risky shit. His health is too low so you gotta know what youre doing at all times. My newest dirty trick is demon flipping over someone and whiffing palm in the air so you land instantly and sweeping them. People are use to holding back or down back... sometimes forward thinking of cross up but to cross up low is really unusual which is why it works and its dirty. l love playing dirty. Fireball spamming people who cant get around is fun too. But yea, lve been demon flipping more. Its just.... scary for them.

Anyway... yea didnt do much of anything but Street Fighter like crazy, Angel and food. Late night at 4am hit Domkey's to chill for a bit then hit back. We were gonna smoke hookah but the coals are so shitty, they wont light w a lighter. Uhh yea 11am now friday haha got my interview in 6 hrs. l better sleep now.

Late.

Good week so far.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vM-mETfbdl0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJRFFFM2QXc

My battles from Sat. l know l need new shit, l have things in the works but its not ready for competition yet.

Woke up to a phone call today from LA(iphone tells all) and had a pretty good interview until l was asked for my PS3 ID name. He said, no definites but IF l get a PS3 and play and show l am fine on a PS3 knowing the layout AND that lm a good player, l'll be a consideration for the show. Goofball was on season 1 and the show was asking for reccomendations and he told them my name, l later posted a video last night after he told me and they hit me up today!!!! So now lm gonna get Colin's PS3 and buy a few used games which l plan to return within 7 days heheh and run through and get these trophies. lm being smart bout looking up the quickest and easiest ones available and we'll see.

K so friday last week. Lets see.. Brown and Joss were down to come out so l got those 2 assholes and we hit Aziz's birthday starting off in Old City. Got drinks and yoooo banging girls were everywhereeeee one of those nights. Met up w more friends and met other friends of Aziz's squad. Chilled there, got tipsy and also we were pretty outta it cause Brown brought Captain Fuckface in the car and we got pretty shitty.






So after, got in the car and hit up Whisper. Got in for free cause l have the hook ups like that tehehe and got in and started dancing. Ran around and found SamK and chilled and thanked her for the hook up as always. Got drinks from Steve and was hooked up as well. Life is pretty cheap. Danced, ran around and there was a good number of azn girls as DNA was having an event at G Lounge and they would all come over at 2am after G was done. Ended the night w some McDonalds where a spanish girl came onto Joss but hes a fail and just accepted her compliements AND KISS and didnt ask for a number or anything. Oh Joss...









So crashed hard cause on Captain Morgan and woke up only to shower and rush to a bboy event. Me and Black Nasty entered and made it into the Top 16 of 40 some crews. However we didnt do so hot the next round as both of us werent on point too well. Rushed home to get shorts as tho l brought party clothes(jeans sneakers t shirt) and night life clothes(dress pants, tie, dress short, black shoes)... l didnt bring shorts. Got those, got Ryan and Guy and hit Arrow Swim Club which is pretty new, having their 2nd event. The place is NICEEEEE!!

So got in for free, thank you Long and Nathasha and got a free Long Island to go w that hahaha. Drank and chilled and our friends came through a lil b4 midnight. Rachel Mantis Lien and squad. Knuckles and Pete Nasty made it through later and we just got wild. Met friends of Lien and Rach's and Guy was chasing other random girls. Jumped in the pool and it felt more like a house party. Didnt even care about dancing. None of us did. It was just a nice change and the water wasnt mad cold either.





















Hahha so afterwards, after party at Mantis's place. Made mad food, drank some more, smoked the hookah ahaha had a good time just chilling for a few more hours. Nothing too crazy, just a good after party. Pete eating mash potatoes off the floor. l was highly entertained. Pced out late night and got home pretty late after dropping off the guys.













So Sunday took it easy. Was gonna go out again which woulda made it my 10th day of the last 12 days going out but l forgot my ID at Arrow Swim Club as you needed to hand in an ID to get a locker. So played lots of Street Fighter and Magic the Gathering online. White deck l made was nearly perfect. Went 6 wins undefeated till l lost to a black deck built perfect against my white deck as it was made for killing little creatures and discarding. Played early into Monday morning and then went out w Hack and Corey into Philly for some fun.

So we hit Rittenhouse Square for food at some fancy pants seafood place and yooo the food was banging. Got some beer at Yard Brewery and drank Thomas Jefferson's original recipe which was interesting. A taste of history lol lm corny. So after, threw and lost money on craps at Sugar House hahaha l will never win in PA. l always do well in NJ, cept once. And got my ID back from Arrow Swim Club. It was a very nice day w those 2 and listening to Hack talk bout girls is hysterical.











So hit back and had practice at Ryan's. Brought my sister and worked on foundation along w starting her on windmills. Gonna be a lil bit but lm sure she can get it soon enough. lm hyped watching her progress. l cant wait till shes battle ready!! It'll be sooner than she realizes, trust me. Had a good practice w the guys and chilled and junk. Video games and junk but slept early for my interview the next day.

Woke up tues and hit my interview. Working for Keller Williams Preferred Real Estate. lm hyped. A lot of paper work l still gotta get done and my criminal background check is still pending so l cant get my license until its clear. lm hyped to just be making money tho. After hit practice again at Ryan's. Worked on new stuff mostly but ahhh my stamina is getting shitty. New stuff lm making is coming along nicely. lm also kinda adding more to my older stuff as well. It doesnt feel like ENOUGH ya know?! We'll see. Had a good practice and always good just chilling w the guys as Ryan Corey Dom Matt and Guy all came through.



So that went well and chilled and Goof told me the reality show 'The Tester' which he was on Season 1, hit him up asking for recommendations and he gave them my name. l made a profile, sent them an email and a video and went to bed.

Woke up late today. l slept for 15 hours. But yea, they called and the interview went well. The interviewer seemed to like that l game and did well in sports as he asked more about me being in chess club and being on the wrestling team at the same time. He asked for my PS ID but l didnt have one and he said they were looking for PS focused players. l told him, what if l got a PS3 today and he said, IF l do decide to do that, give him my PS ID and we'll go from there. Soooo l borrowing Colin's PS3 later today, getting mad games, already listed out games w easy quick tropies and plan to hack away and collect quick and be like 'hey lm boss, check out my score in just 1 week' and he'll be like 'WELCOME ABOARD!!' hahahahaha.

Well... LIFE IS VERY EXCITING RIGHT NOW!!!

Plotting hehehe.

Late.

Friday August 12, 2011
Sup Guys, lm so damn beat from partying and NOW its Friday...

Sunday will be chill.

K so last friday night. KristinaD came through and got Brown and hit Matt's party to smoke, drink, play massive beer pong and ended up partying w people l met years ago through Matt while we were still in school. Drank some Abstence which was ridiculous and played mad beer pong. Me and Brown started doing a new thing trying to hit the inner triangle of 6 cups so we can make an island and l'd take it out. We got pretty drunk and Brown's dickheadedness is hilarious. Him screaming 'Island Creation!!' and hitting 1 of the 2 possible cups to create an Island, then l'd call Island and sink it and down to 3 cups plus bring'em back balls. We did it 6 times in a row b4 l finally missed an island. Had a bonfire, smoked hookah and met some people. We ended up partying till 5am or so and got home at 6am lol. Good friday eh?!






















So woke up late in the afternoon on Sat only to rush outta the door for the UFC fight in Philly. Met up w EricM and his girlfriend Erin and ran around a lil, got food and junk b4 the fights. We went to see all the fights and the prelims were aiight. Sometimes l heard they can be really good but that night, the main event fights were really good. Started betting money on fights so l had a reason to root for someone. Betting always makes things interesting. Had a great time and l like watching fights. l dont watch UFC like THAT but l enjoy it and l wanted to do new things, go to new places and understand different scenes. So had fun there and it was good seeing both Eric and Erin and pced out when the fight ended. Sadly the Taylor Swift concert ended the same time and it took 1.5 hrs to get outta the parking lot omg l was going nuts. So met up w Vee for Somano's birthday. Turns out the bartender working w Solena is a girl l met a yr ago randomly at Medusa and chilled w, Lana. So got drinks, chilled w Vee's family and did shots. Me and Vee scored 100% both times on Karoake and got free shots singing 'Party Rock Anthem' and 'Mr.Brightside' l know..... l should be a pop star. Maybe later. Sang Gee Gee w Lana too and we got a 86% lol. Afterwards, a bunch of us got Korean BBQ afterwards, talking bout throwing events and stuff as others had experience in throwing big events in the city. Its interesting and maybe one day l'll go back to that route. We'll see.















So got home at 430am or so and went to bed.

Woke up Sunday waking up to Domkey saying lets hit the Philly block party. Lana told me to go the night b4 so decided to go and we met up Mantis Rukkus and friends. Found Lana and met her friends as well. Tons of friends were around in general and it was pretty much a concert w bars on the side. Saw old friends, some from high school, some from college including Mason. Met some people randomly here and there getting drinks at PYT. Got kinda drunk off these Golden Monkey's, first time having it. After, hit Mantis's for drinks and smoking. More friends came through and had a lil party there and reminded drunk. Hit Bookspace as the other place was too packed and chilled and stuff. Not really my scene thooooo w the hipsters. Met up w Lana and chilled and pced out later on.




















Ended the night meeting up w Hack and Scott for drinks at Yakitori Boy, singing karoake and shit hahaha had a good time chilling and enjoyed my Philly bouncing.





Hahhaha kk so Monday l decided to take it easy. Video games, studying, Buffy and food. Restored my IPhone and yea... Took it easy lol. l liked it. Tuesday woke up and thought l'd be chilling some more but Brown said house party.... GaaaAGOHESGOHSROIGHSROIHIORHIO

How is there something going on, on a TUESDAY........ Tuesday l consider the most awkward day to party. Fri Sat is given. Sunday is fun to extended the weekend. Thurs makes sense to start early. Weds is extra early and Monday is fun cause Monday is a dreadful day and so to drink on Monday feels fun because its contradictory. Tuesday is just weird. But welp, got Domkey and a case of Miller and hit this party. Saw old friends randomly but it was in LTown after all. Got kinda drunk, played mass amounts of beer pong again and met some people. Messed w this big ass dog some, met some people and watched a tequila bottle go down from being passed around the party in a 2 mins hahahhaha it was pretty ridiculous. Pced out late night when everyone was bouncing out.












So weds was back to normal. Woke up and took my PSI Real Estate Exam, the 2nd one that l couldnt pass in forever. FINALLY PASSED SOERIHIOSGIOSHGIOSHRGIOHSRIOHIOSRHIOHROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYaeohioehgoae

but yea.... l kept getting 21 or 22 and you need a 23 outta 30 to pass. So holy shit l was getting pissed but got a 25.... THANK THE LOOOOOOOOORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So happy. Called up people, interviewers and such and just a great feeling after ALLLLLLLLLL the work l went through, l finished, l passed.

So chilled for a lil, video games and such and well... Started looking up Magic the Gathering of the sets l've been out of the last 2 yrs. So ok... the way it works is every year, 3 sets come out which is called a cycle. Standard play meaning up-to-date playing is the last 2 cycles. Currently both of the last 2 cycles are out, meaning 6 sets are out. In sept 30th, a new set comes out tho which cancels out the whole cycle of what came out fall 09-spring 10. So then 4 sets are considered Standard. Went number crunching mad lol.

Hit dance practice at Ryan's studio and friends came through and practiced. Went over the new stuff and came up w some ideas. Nothing set in stone but once again, lm breaking down other shit and keeping the good and trashing the aiight/bad and tho l have better stuff, l have less stuff again lol. Whatever. Had a good practice and good just to be out.

Hit home and worked on Magic the Gathering for almost 10 hours lol. Number crunching and balancing. Magic has 2 key elements. Balancing.... balancing land to nonland depending how costly of cards you put in... balancing low mana to high mana things as you dont wanna have 7 cards of expensive shit only playing 1 thing a turn and doing nothing early game. You always wanna be doing a lot in Magic. The other element is theme. Having a deck full of good cards is useless. There has to be an aim, a purpose. The deck that l use to win tournaments w is a very simple concept. Hit quick and early w cheap small Goblins and use direct damage spells to either blast the opponent or creatures they put out so l can keep attacking. When they get bigger guys out that are too expensive for me to blast. l can either, attack and when they block w the big guys - then blast them cause the big guys took hits but the better tactic is for me to wait for them to attack and take the hits. Tho its bigger hits, because of the early game of me pegging away at them, l should still be in the lead. With their big guys attacking, lm open to counter attack and then blast some more and win. The reason l dont like killing big guys is cause mid-game, more big guys keep coming and coming and my plan is to win really early. 3-7 turns usually which is EARLY early. The only decks that can beat mine is life gaining decks as l drop EVERYTHING, blowing up my lands and creatures to deal even more damage and if you survive everything. l have nothing lol.

Also l had a White deck for Standard play 2 yrs ago that was a 77% win rate. Simple Soldier deck that they benefit each other. 1 guy would be aiight, 2 guys would be better not cause its 2 but they work off each other giving each other benefits. Multiplyers make it so mid-game not only do l have 6 guys out but they are all bigger guys cause of the presence of each other. 'Other soldiers get +1/+1' like cards.

Anyway..... l built 3 decks within that time. l only really got started and already mastered the red deck. Same idea as b4. EXACTLY 1/3 land, 1/3 spells, 1/3 goblins. Goblin Grenade being a beast. The Goblins that l can use NOW for Standard are good enough, l have to change up some ideas but the concept overall still works the same and if there is a tournament around, l may just make the deck real quick at some card shop w a $20 and enter.

Made a white deck w the same theme of them building off each other and havent tested it yet and made a Vampire Black deck that is still being tweaked. Its good midgame but early game its just waiting. In 6 weeks tho, 3 of the 6 sets out tho are taken outta Standard so l can still use that deck in extended but l rather have an up to date deck. Also playing Standard, tho lm limited to use the current up to date cards, so are my opponents which helps. l'll take a handicap if my opponent has to as well..





This guy went to talk shit saying 'those are some weak goblins bro' and l won 18 life to 0 life. You start w 20 life...... l had no0bs. l've been playing Magic on and off since 95 and use to win tournaments often.



Yeaaa lm nerd.

Kk so woke up thurs late and met up with AFK Bots to smoke and chill. Showed the guys my decks and we talked bout Magic half the night. lm gonna get them sucked back in hahaha. RachelK hits me up bout going out for people's birthdays and yeaaa..... whatever, tricked Brown on a coin toss to go out cause l could feel it was heads ontop and he called tails so l flipped it and he came out. Suckerrrrr hahahah. So hit Silk City. Met up w Rach Lien Sean, his friend Andy, and met Lien's group of friends. Got drinks and danced and then of course, randomly like always, ran into Hayley. Haha me and her always somehow end up seeing each other here and there in Philly. In Kutztown, its not so crazy cause theres only so many places to go. But yea, danced and got some food and back to dancing. Saw RachelC who me and Brown use to work w at Abercrombie wayyyyy back in 06 and caught up and told us to hit Voyuer. Rach and all Lien's friends were going as well so hit it. Its a gay club but everyone said 'oh after hours its just whatever' but it was not the case so much hahahhaha. Soooo yea, danced w girls and stuff but Andy got his ass grabbed hahahahhaha ahhh its different, whatever. Drank and danced and 3am pced out.









YEAAAAAAAA...... soooo about THAT... LOL

So hit home at 4am and knocked out.

Just woke up at 4pm, showered and junk and figuring out the night. Birthdays every single night it seems. Prob will go out for Aziz's birthday as they are doing Old City and Whisper and will be in a squad. Gotta get a bottle to pregame w and gotta hit up my Whisper connection to get in for free.

Welp.... l passed my real estate exam so l dont have to feel guilty bout partying anymore lol.

6th night out in the last 8 days.

Its a lifestyle choice.

Late.

Friday August 5, 2011
Sup Guys, ahhh soo much is happening....


Theres so much to focus on... its bad enough l hop hobbies like crazy as it is. Back in high school... dancing, wrestling, basketball, track, ping pong, tennis, magic the gathering, gaming, chess.... Now its just dance, gaming and getting a career going.

l miss high school.

So weds, ended the night hitting practice at Ryan's. Had a really good practice, have 5 different things to work on thankfully so l dont get too bored. Also my mindruts are a bitch and lm kinda at an awkward spot for each of the things lm working on. Like creating choreography and creating well anything that takes creativity.... lm always scraping ideas believing theres something out there thats better so it takes me a WHILE to come up w stuff cause so many ideas are being tossed. Just, if it doesnt feel 'thats perfect' then whats the point of EVEN DOING the move, ya know?! If its not interesting, yea maybe its still dancing but its more moving around in newer patterns rather than doing something that was appealing. Hope that makes sense. Hit home, played mad Street Fighter and knocked out for my big weekend.

Thurs woke up and hit the bboy event in Philly. Me and Domkey got there late and didnt enter and just chilled. Watching friends. Crew members won as Black Nasty and Pete Nasty took it. Wo0t wo0t!! Also ChrisN Cesar and JennyL came from VA to visit Philly for a while and chilled w them for a while. Getting icecream and junk lol. Met a lil kid who just came up and took my cell to record battles, drinking my redbull, eating my icecream, telling me 'l know what you mix w this, liquor, you got any liquor?!' hahahahahha kids.... Reminds me of one of the kids l use to watch at Churchville, Robby who would ask for Miller instead of juice lol.










So we hit DC to go clubbing and to meet up w various friends. Convinced Juliana to come through and she brought some twins and also ChrisB came through along w Blu, Ellen and people and danced w them. Running around between the 2nd floor and rooftop but the roof was humid. It was aiight but the vibe of the scene was a lil weird.



Afterwards, crashed at DynaMike's and took ti easy where Sara also met up w us. Next morning me Domkey and Sara met up at Goofball's and got ready and hit Otakon along w Thuy and Andy. Got there and saw crazy costumes and shit and ran around to chill for a lil. Hit the gaming room where l went 6-1 against people. l got a lil fan base for being so consistent hitting my Instant Hell Murder in which, l wouldve lost a few matches if l didnt. Met some people and made some new friends. The gaming community is pretty interesting and since following the scene on SRK and Eventhubs lately.... l like it.

We had to teach our workshop at 3ish and had a lil introduction. Ended w me asking on the mic 'who here is gonna be in the street fighter tournament?! Hands up!!' hahahaha and then whe people put their hands up 'WHO DO YOU MAIN!!' and then my mic was taken from me. Taught our class and it was a lot of fun. Went over the basics and just went through each step in detail as l went over and over again w people on six steps, choreographing a lil toprock set and so forth. They requested to learn windmills and got people started and 3 people got to the point of actually spinning a lil.




















We got sushi at some place and met up w more friends of Goof's. Serious gamers who l got along well w and Took more pics of the table next to us in a Bleach cast. Hit the Tournament, met friends and took out 1 more person, making me 7-1 and then the line started and within 2 mins, the 64 people were lined up, thank god l got there on time. So made more friends sitting in line as we had to sit from 7-730 and then it started at 8pm. Took out my 1st guy, a Balrog who l was watching earlier, who l honestly thought l was gonna lose to. The thing w Balrog is.... if the person is flat out good w Balrog, l usually lose cause hes just well made against Akuma but l abused Demon Flips on him, not only to mix up going for the slide(tho its the worst option, its tricky cause you hang in the air for a lil), overhead palm, going OVER the person w overhead palm and then sweeping them from behind cross up which is mad bastardly cause if they jump, they get palmed, if they try to block back, they are blocking the wrong way and getting sweeped which is Low. The throw of course and l dont really use the divekick personally tho the majority of Akuma players use it the most. But either way, l just wanted to bounce around him on both sides to fuck up his Charge meaning he cant use his specials lol. l usually zone a lot till a good opportunity but against Balrog, hes so fast getting across the screen and hits so hard, its more worth it for me to just go hard or go home. 2nd match, had the posse cheering me on but eventually lost on the 3rd round to an El Fuerte as l landed the Instant Hell Murder 1st game for the win, landed it the 2nd game but he lived by a lil and got back to me and 3rd game he just played solid not to get hit by it and l was taken out. People still complimented me w my Instant Hell Murder abilities to lure/bait them and just having good consistency w it. It was nice. Domkey got me icecream cause l was bummed to be taken out so early but other REALLY good players l saw got taken out 1st round, some because they lost to the winner of the competition.






The line.



l licked it off the cone like a child.....

Then we hit the Rave.... HOLY SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTjSuIjM9so

Hhaha so ran in, did the bounce and face the stage thing cause well...... its Otakon, dont expect people to dance well. Some bboying in circles and had a good time. The 1st few DJs were dope. Later tho, it went hardcore nerd alert. Well Vocaloid coming on was kinda cool but then they just started playing Anime intros and well..... you dont really get hype or dance to it. Then l saw Sailormoon pcing out hahahaha. Played w Goof's dog and we watched Shaolin which had Jackie Chan as a subcharacter. Really good movie tho. Recently, Jackie's role in films hes a sub or main character has been different. Rob-B-Hood where hes a crook, also dope movie, The Myth where you see him killing people. Little Big Soldier where hes not good at fighting but good at running, dodging and throwing rocks lol.











Sat woke up and made mix drinks. The nerds were overbearing towards the end of last night. Like, we're big dorks and all but yooooooo lm still not at the level cap. Thuy was really down to drink hahaha and so made mix drinks to drink throughout the day. Hit Otakon, ran around, dealer room, got lunch at Potbelly's. Chilled out and met up w Brown and Cassandra and me Brown and Dom ripped on people for a good hour as we just sat around drinking. We were fucking dying in laughter. Like..... vodka and nerds everywhere, it was joke after joke. 'Virgin walk' and then doing a lil song and dance. Ahhh it was a good hour.























Hahah so me Brown and Cassandra left to get Subway and Bacardi to mix it into Slurpees and filled another water bottle w it and we were gonna hit the talent show but we missed the skits so we met back up w everyone and had a HUGE cypher for a prob 2 hours. The events you can go to at Otakon are kinda cool but we get in for free teaching the workshop and lm there more to just chill so we didnt care so much. Cassandra being a mermaid, Brown had to pick her up and take her to the bathroom hahahaha. Me and Goof pulled some stupid routines, Cassandra went out and got mad cheers. Gina and Dallas also went out popping and Cody and the Street Fighter battle was hilarious.






















http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-lDsOrhYZc

Watch me at 2:50 nothing nuts, just my main set. l did a lot more but every recording of me is THAT set lol.

We then hit the gaming room to play a lil but didnt do so well since it was midnight on a sat and only the super super nerds were in there. So we hit the Rave and aoirhgoairhgioahgoia nuts again.... lost people so we all met up close to the stairs and then found more friends. Niko, Tida, Kimmy, Phong and everyone eventually just came by and wellllll we started playing Strip spin the bottle... cause we're mature.

We get nerdy girls naked.

Cept me Brown and Dom were almost naked....





















Security came over and yelled at us to put our clothes back on cause we were drawing a crowd hahahahahahha oops... Went back down to the rave and we danced and had fun till 3am b4 pcing back. Got 711 and hit home.

Woke up and got beer for a party at Domkey's. Had AFK Bots and Flock come through and had a bonfire, pool party. Smoked hookah, drank, played never have l ever and truth or dare in the pool cause you know.... we're mature and had a good time. lm glad my different main posse's got to meet up. Had a fun night and took Jieun back b4 sleeping.











Monday l just took it easy. Was so beat from the week. Played video games, studied and didnt do much. Just rested. Uhh yea, very anti social monday but l needed it. Slept early too. Wasnt awake for more than 10 hours on Monday. Tues l uploaded and tagged everyone in everything the last few weeks as l have been slacking. Studied more and was getting annoyed as it was taking forever finding answers to previous questions l had trouble on last test and the most annoying part is they really dont even repeat anyway. Stayed in all tues again and that was that.

Weds test time and failed by 2 questions. Always missing it by 1 or 2 questions. Highly frustrated cause l try so hard. They really dont repeat either. And even more annoying is lve been told, it really doesnt apply. Like your driver's permit test. If a blindman w a yellowcane you should......... all you know is you make sure not to hit them but somehow theres 4 answers and lve yet to see a blindman walking while l was driving and l drive a lot. l had these stupid ass standardized tests that dont apply to real life.

Well... after hit practice w Domkey in Philly. Had a good practice and worked on routines w Black Nasty but now we arent sure if the event is still going on cause they lost their venue. Thurs just took it easy, chilling w Brown Joss and Colin of AFK Bots and smoked hookah, watching South Park and eating ramen lol. Good times as always. Trying to get Colin and Joss to come party today but they are weakkkkk.. Played some Street Fighter and took it easy.





Trying to decide, AFTER l pass my real estate state exam, if l wanna try to get back into something. l miss Magic the Gathering as l use to be beast at it, playing on and off since 1994 lol 3rd grade for me and l use to win tournaments A LOT. Or Chess as Chess will ALWAYS be around and yea, lm really good and challenge everyone when l hear people play but l dunno... lm not GrandMaster level lol. 4th ranked outta 32 back in Chess Club days in high school. After chess club 215-3pm, l had wrestling or track practice lol sooooo dont stereotype me. And after wrestling practice, some days l had basketball practice. Ahhh those days....

So today... MattC's party. KristinaD and Brown are coming w. Should be fun. l just wanna slaughter more people at Beer Pong.

l dont get why lm pretty good at a lot of things, really good at the most unimportant things and a fail at what really matters such as my State Exam for Real Estate. Like..... lm beast at beer pong and Magic the Gathering..... but even being a super beast at those things get you nowhere..

l'll figure out life soon enough.

Late.
