This Battle is about to explode...FIGHT!

Today i added a few key terms to my blog. for you to look at. I practiced a little bit last night i played a pro online in street fighter that goes by the name of nicaKO. whom is my favorite in the pro circuit. He gave me a few tips and lead me to his intruction video on youtube. I'll post that video on my blog whenever i go home. I also uploaded a new match. its me versus my cusin in a 3 set Casual match in street fighter 3rd strike. Today i plan on going online again and playing a few people in some casuals and possibly set a tourney up for this weekend. If i win ill be recording everysecond of it.

The Unwritten Code of Honor

Yesterday after school i sent David Sirlin a email asking if an interview was possible. luckily he said yes. i told him that i will be making a well thought out list of questions and send them to him. He agreed with my decision. that's where I'm standing now as of today.

The answer lies in the heart of battle

So today i got a positive "OK" on my decsison of how to become a pro gamer in the field of fighting games. i have actually sent a PRO player David Sirlin a proposal to interview him on such a topic.

After today i have read 13 pages of "Playing to Win". I will be proposeing a topic to Mrs. Savido monday to see her thoughts on it, and to get advice on how to tweak it to make it better. Here in the last 5 minutes of class I'm now deeply considering doing a topic of what it takes to become the best. I will probally be doing some execution training tonight and all weekend. To prepare for a possible Tournament in April.

hmmm....I Wonder

Well over the past week i have been jumping around a few topics. mainly all some how dealing with martial arts, and my hobby of striveing to become a pro player in the video game Street Fighter. There are actually a few books I've been looking at such as "Playin to Win" by David Sirlin. Whom is a current U.S Champion in the game of Street Fighter. In the book Sirlin actually touches upon what it takes to be a pro. he states very interesting facts and truth about the gameing universe. this book will most likely be one of my main sources.

PItfalls of Blogging....?

The main pitfalls of frequent blogging. Will have to be problems such as possible addiction, lost touch of reality, and the actual neglect of a "real" personal life.
