my tekken 5 skills are horrid... they SUCK. this is why if i'm planning on playing tekken 5 more, i should save up instead of playing tekken 3 at the mu.
i was lucky to get ONE win with jin... my card now has a 8% win ratio w/him...
did a lot better with nina, although i'm being generous... 25% is about my win ratio right now. about 4:16 i would say.
didn't bother w/my devil jin card
still, it was fun enough playing somebody instead of the cpu... strange though... the person i played was from out of state.
i should learn bryan and create a card w/him.

come to think about it, how does the home court advantage favor in the nba finals? let's not even think about how it's playing out this year; i'm thinking about how it works for all around; the nba finals set is a lot more different than the other best-of-7 series on the road there:
top seed: 2 games, then lower seed: 2 games, then top seed 1 game, lower seed 1 game, then top seed 1 game.
but in the finals:
2 games @west, followed by three games @east, then 2 games @west.
just looking at this, it would seem that statistics favor the west, due to the game 7, esp if games go back and forth. but wait! the east has THREE straight games at home! in the middle of the set, where they'll have a pretty good idea of how the west plays! if you took just one away game before game 3, you could very well wrap this thing up if you won three straight at home, esp if you seem to play about 200% better @home! that's what the pistons did last year; they surprised the world and won 1 game away, came really close 2nd, but no worries; they went home, and then became one of the first teams to win all 3 games @home and close this thing.
so i'm wondering just how the nba finals matchup favors who. west has the seventh game. but they have to play 3 straight on the road, in the middle of the series, which has the potential to really dent them w/no games to chance. then the east it seems would have 2 chances to get 1 win. on the other hand, if a series is streaky, then the west is favored; y'kno, if games are almost equally won on the road and at home.
granted, home games aren't automatic wins... but then again, if your average road win is by about 5 pts or so, and your home wins are by 20 pts or so...
this weather's so streaky...

i think the espn writers were right on the money when big ben's sportscenter highlight poster on one of the miami heat at the pivotal game 7 was "fear the fro, san antonio..."
11 rebounds, 15 points and 5 blocked shots...
he brought it out last night, and we all know who won... statistics favor the pistons when he brings out the fro...
now detroit ONLY has to win 3 more < /end sarcasm >
but seriously, detroit has 2 more home games, and they can't let any one of them get away; i've been realizing how much important home games are in the playoffs this year, ESPECIALLY when you get closer and closer to the trophy. all the defensive rapes that i've seen and grown to love about detroit have come from their home games. y'kno, the ones where they hold the opponent to less than 80 pts, win by 15+, and bring out darko with 3 minutes to spare... home games aren't exactly free wins, but then again... that home crowd seems to just boost the players' energy.

i'm thinking of creating another blog, so that i can jot down every single case leveled for and against the kjv. so that you're not lost on what i've found. more details later.
except for the kjv research and improvement on lead guitar playing, i STILL don't know what in the world i'm gonna do this summer. yes, sad indeed; i should know by now. well, i'll know in less than 2 weeks i believe.
i have a feeling that these are some of the things i'm gonna have to personally look at in the near future; it apparently doesn't stop w/the kjv issues:
roman catholic church
jesuits
freemasons
zionists
communism
socialism
you see, if all the things i've read are true... then there are MANY antichrists that surround us; and pity that we've never even once considered diving to discover the truth. but don't tell me i'm crazy; cause i'm gonna do the digging for you. pity the fool who makes assumptions and never tries to discover the truth, only going deep within it for 5 min.
never take 5 classes EVER... again...
and if you do, make sure you have microcassettes, 4 about 60 mins for each class, unless if you're in a 2 hour class, in which you have 4 about 90 mins for that type of class. and have em all RIGHT before the quarter even begins, and an ac adapter. and a lot of batteries. plus, you should have a plephora of flashcards already pre-made, so that you just need to write down stuff. etc. basically, be prepared, to go from the get go and don't stop til it ends. which was what i was not. but i'll have all these things and be ready for fall... i just wished i could once say, "i truly learned my mistakes." facts are, i never do.
and in some strange way, i have to thank god for not going to med school; i don't think i could "discover the truth" if i had good grades and got into med school; too little time. heck, the thought of the books i'll have to go through and the arguments i'll have to look at just to find out how canon the kjv is, well, it's very time-consuming.

at the time of christ, 3 cities in the roman empire had the most dominant effects on christianity: rome, italy, alexandria, egypt, and antioch, syria.
rome was the capital of the roman empire. it, as today, was the epitome of form, legalism, and tradition. by the very essence of tradition, rome has known to constantly add to the bible. examples? the apocrypha and its 14 books. or the constant traditions that were emphasized such a purgatory or the chanting of the rosary, that are seen in today's roman catholic church. though rome didn't exactly create any corrupt bibles, they took the corrupt versions from alexandria, and added their traditions to them; they used ecclesiastical interpretation. the bible constantly speaks negatively about rome, whom it constantly compares to as babylon.
alexandria, like much of the world today, was the epitome of education; science, scholarship, knowledge. the like-minded minds of Origen dominated these areas. like as now, education and science took away from the Word of God. most biblical corruptions that are seen in the codex sinaiticus(codex aleph), codex vaticanus(codex B), and the septuagint originated from this region. allegorical interpretation were taken at the bible; ie compare what YOU believe as truth to what the bible says. the bible consistently speaks negatively about egypt.
antioch was the origin of early work by the apostles. known for her luxury and cosmopolitan flavor, but also for its incredible trust in the bible. antioch was the only place where the bible was interpretted literally. the "textus receptus" was the products of many copies of scripture that came from here, all in agreement w/each other. as is the masoretic hebrew old testament. the natives of antioch were from Shem, one of the sons of Noah, whom Noah blessed himself(not Japhethities of Europe, and not Hamites of Africa)
i'm eager to post more, but anymore statements, and i would be essentially plagerizing someone else's work: read more here
trust me when i say, this wormhole goes a lot deeper than you think; just saying "you should just read the bible in the original hebrew language or greek if you want THE authentic bible" isn't gonna cut it.

all these predictions of "spurs in 6" is depressing me... no respect for detroit.
i wanna trash talk so that if the pistons surprise everybody once again, i'll look good... but if they lose, i'll just look even more like a loser.
the good thing is that detroit seems to thrive on their underdog status.
i guess i'll have to see the recaps after games 1 and 2 first to make a sound judgment.
note that pistons lost to spurs at the sbc center during the regular season, but it was only by 3 pts.

apparently, some stuff to try next time i play t3 bryan:
ws+1+2: 11 frames, 1~4 guarenteed on hit? it was in ttt and beyond (12+21=33 pts)
1,2 and ws+4: 1~4 guarenteed on hit? might be a range issue
d+3+4; haven't really fooled around w/this low
and oh yea; qcb,2-> 1~4-> f,f+2 is HARD... i should try the tech trap instead; f,f,df+3 instead of f,f+2, since 1~4 knocks them in the air; more damage anyways.
i gotta get down COM throw; it can be buffered outta anything; so maybe next time i'll try df+2, then d,df,d,DF, wait til df+2 ends, then press 1+2 right when bryan starts to crouch; i might not even need to do d,df,d,DF; just df,d,DF

the number 1 play for last night's top 10 on sportscenter was ben wallace slashing and giving one of the heat(sorry jerm, wasn't shaq) a facial... i love the quip at the bottom: "fear the fro, san antonio." number 3 was prince w/the two-hand putback(makes me wonder if that was prince's 1st putback ever... looked sweet... i stood up from eating dinner when i saw that one)
btw, creed's greatest hits is just a flat out awesome cd. i was lucky enough to get it during memorial day weekend at circuit city, when all their cds were only 9.99. came w/a dvd featuring all their music videos and 2 live performances, and the other was a music cd featuring all their number 1 hits(but i wanted "hide" to be on that cd, oh well). i love creed when i was growing up so much; maybe they were why i got so much started on trying to play lead guitar instead of just power chords. their songs were awesome, when everybody else's rock band was punk. at some point, i kinda gave up on creed b/c i was into the "christian rock" stage, but after awhile, you realize most christian rock bands can't play guitar at the mark tremonti level; maybe 12 stones, but they've gone downhill after the 1st album.
although, after listening to alter bridge, if you listen to creed, it feels a bit more shallow; withheld talent. like mark tremonti was holding back his full guitar potential. basically, i can play creed. i canNOT play alter bridge(hope to someday). i still love both bands though, and i'm glad stapp and the others split up; stapp became a christian, and tremonti produced better music; win-win situation.

my bible study leader's a sellout... she's from the bay area, likes the kings, doesn't like the warriors...
you do the math.
but anyways, i like this matchup... too bad i won't be watching too much of it; we have things called "finals" too.
of course, you know who i'll be rooting for...
i'll concede though that spurs have the edge, but it's not a HUGE edge... 6-4 in spurs' favor
both teams play hard on both ends, and both teams have very good balance.
both teams also have truly great coaches.
semi-short rundown:
spurs:
advantages:
+arguably the best power forward in the league; don't even question tim duncan; i love kg, but in the timmy vs kg debate, i stand on the side of timmy.
+two great slashers in the backcourt
+defensively, spurs have one of the best perimeter defenders in the league; bruce bowen is EVERYWHERE, and they have tim duncan
+a stronger, deeper bench
+overall, no "weak player" on this team; i think this is THE deepest team in the league
+a coach w/more championship wins
disadvantages:
-lack of good 3 pt shooters; manu and tony have improved, and to be fair, spurs are good at shooting threes. but they don't seem to be able to be a team that can rain them down at will when they need to; this MIGHT be key to how detroit wins over them, if they get their 4th ring
-main shot creators on this team are duncan, parker, and maybe manu
-gregg poppavich looks like his face had a pimple invasion
main key for spurs to win: superb performance from duncan and parker(i love manu, but i think the offense runs a lot more thru parker than manu)
main x-factor: brent barry
pistons:
advantages:
+arguably the best starting 5 in the league on both ends of the court
+two great shooters in the backcourt
+two of the starting 5 can actually light it up beyond the arc consistently, and i'll give you a hint; one of them is NOT rip
+defensively, pistons have ALSO, one of the best perimeter defenders; tayshaun prince just does NOT let you get by him, and wallace times two are a definite help threat
+slightly more athletic starting 5 than the spurs; i think a lotta ppl take the athleticism of the pistons a bit for granted, thinking they use it all on the defensive end, but it's true, these guys can RUN the fastbreak. in fact, i enjoy watching their offense as much as their d. i could be stretching it by saying this as a pistons fan, but i think i've seen more alley-oops done by the pistons in a game than by any other team. pistons, in a lotta ways, end up looking like the kings with hardcore d.
+a coach w/more experience
disadvantages:
-bench... that's not to say detroit's bench isn't bad. but it certainly isn't the deep bench they had last year. they still kept some key pieces, such as lindsey and campbell, and picked up some nice additions like arroyo and mcdice. they just have no overall complete package in one single bench player that shows up every single night. the two they kept from last year are flat-out better defenders and their d always shows up every night, but they can't shoot well. i guess the main key is whether arroyo can play d.
-main shot creators on this team are billups and rip
-larry brown never ever shows any emotion other than "monotonous gameface"
main key for detroit to win: backcourt has to be on FIRE
main x-factor: rasheed
of course, in the keys to win, i didn't say defense, for both teams, but you know it's true. pistons vs spurs w/o d would be like um, kings vs, um, kings. i just highlighted the main offensive key.
this has the potential to turn into an ugly matchup, due to the hardcore d, but i think defensive bball is just as beautiful as well-executed offense. winning bball is always beautiful to me. maybe it's just cause i love the shot block and the hustle play, but i think these things are so underrated and underappreciated by the average fan.
feel free to tell me how far off wrong i am with my rundown...
btw, is it true that tony parker's girlfriend is eva longoria? and i thought she was only rooting for the spurs b/c she was a texas native!
you do the math.

try googling these if you're bored:
martial artist: cung le (if you can stand watching kickboxing, this guy's awesome... throws all over the place; his style is san shou kung fu, which is a type of kickboxing allowing throws; interesting, b/c they teach that here @uc davis... i think i'll take it sometime next school year)
newest tennis phenom: rafael nadal (man was this guy awesome; incredible defense, ran his opponents down, had the most incredible saves)
comedian: keith robinson (just plain funny)
i hope detroit wins game 7 and shuts all the laker fans in davis up.

wow, this is like gold...
it's like dave chappelle's "when keeping it real goes wrong" all over again...
clicky
it's like dave chappelle's "when keeping it real goes wrong" all over again...
clicky
i am impressed...
maybe i'm not giving rip enough credit for being a good 1-on-1 defensive player...
it's true that i consider him to be the worst 1-on-1 defender out of all the pistons' starting 5... my order would be something like ben, tayshaun, rasheed, billups, rip... granted, they're still a great defensive team, so rip has to be good in some manner, but i just really don't see it that way, after watching repeatedly superstar x blow by rip or shoot right over him, whereas get hampered by the long wings of prince, unable to drive or get a clear shot.
but to be able to contain wade and not give him any great looks, while still being flat out brilliant on offense(remember; lb doesn't care how many pts rip scores; he wants to see his assists, and rip handed out about 7), that's awesome...
let's not forget he's doing all this on a hurting leg(with tiger balm!). miller would be proud.
but maybe that's cause wade's not used to rip; i love tayshaun(actually i love all of detroit's starting 5, but definitely tay and ben are up there), but you never want to give good offensive players the same looks all the time; i guess after a while wade can figure out how to take apart billups, prince and lindsey.
if rip does this again in game 5 and detroit comes away w/the double-u, i will seriously be impressed.
and maybe pistons will enter the finals again, leaving the conf finals with the same words that al michaels said last year, "who was that masked man"

let's not forget he's doing all this on a hurting leg(with tiger balm!). miller would be proud.
but maybe that's cause wade's not used to rip; i love tayshaun(actually i love all of detroit's starting 5, but definitely tay and ben are up there), but you never want to give good offensive players the same looks all the time; i guess after a while wade can figure out how to take apart billups, prince and lindsey.
if rip does this again in game 5 and detroit comes away w/the double-u, i will seriously be impressed.
and maybe pistons will enter the finals again, leaving the conf finals with the same words that al michaels said last year, "who was that masked man"
bh can do multiple HOD in mvc2(ie combo qcf+2k into itself) if he is the only one still alive and you use A1+A2 to activate the super instead of qcf+2k; doing it this way doesn't activate flying screen. good luck landing it though.
the infinite's also a waste bc you give more meter to the opponent than yourself, and it doesn't do more than 40% life. 1 loop ain't bad for hit confirm to inferno xx hod though.

my thoughts exactly(sort of)
i'm hoping these are just rumors...
can you be considered not to be a hypocrite if you preach "play the right way" over and over, and then decide to accept a job somewhere else in the midst of the eastern conference finals? so we know your health isn't exactly up to par. that doesn't mean you should send a message basically saying "i quit" now.
and one of the things i've admired about brown is that he's almost always exclusively worked with the underdog all his life on the court, never with THE superstar.
i'm hoping if brown goes, that flip DOES become the new coach of the pistons. and that the cavs do horribly.
btw, it never really hit me til now, just how much ppl believe lbj to be the next mj. at least marketably, i've never seen it this high; only in the days of jordan: check this, what i've found associated w/lebron:
bubblicious
nike
sprite
nerf(yes, that's right)
spalding
and i'm sure there's gonna be a lot more.

verses of note for today: 1st John 4:2-3, 2nd John 7
these are important, because you have to realize, in the context of these verses, why the roman catholic church is simply wrong(at least on this issue; i have sources which state they're flat out wrong on a lot of other things, but that's for another time, another day)
the catholic church preaches to us that the virgin mary is not only someone whom we can pray to, but whom was born WITHOUT sin.(read luke 11:27-28)
i'm tempted to ramble on and on, but i'll try to get my point across as quickly as possible.
the above 2 verses state that anyone who states that "jesus christ has come in the flesh" is a follower of God; anyone who does not is of the antichrist.
note that because of this, you can say that jesus is a real person, came to the earth 2005 years ago, lived a perfect life, died on the cross for our sins, and can still be a deceiver and antichrist! who gives!
what does it mean for jesus to have come in the flesh?
read hebrews 2:14
"Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same"
jesus took on the flesh of the children; of fallen humanity! note that he did not take on the flesh of adam and eve before they sinned!
hebrews 4:14-16 states that because jesus was able to take on our flesh, yet never sinned, it meant that he was able to overcome the flesh on our behalf. after he died, he then ascended into the heavens to become our high priest. because of this, jesus is able to relate to us; we can come to his throne. we need no other mediators.
under the catholic ideals though, because mary was without sin, that meant that when jesus was borne, that he took on the flesh of his mother, not of us! do you see what this does? this states that jesus did not carry the same flesh as us, that he could not relate to us, and that he was never tempted by sin.
under the catholic rules, it therefore makes more sense to come to mary for intercession and forgiveness.
THAT is why those that believe jesus is the messiah will always believe that jesus came in OUR flesh.

random capcom's marvel's vs series tip of the day:
timing of a pushblock determines how far you will end up when doing it; if you pushblock very late after blocking an attack, you will fly pretty far.
time it almost simultaneous with when you block an attack, and you will go almost nowhere.
it accounts for why sometimes you can pushblock an opponent and not go anywhere, but rather get sucked in more as they chain more hits together.
that's how you can punish a blocked gambit royal flush even if you have no beam super; pushblock right when it starts, then pushblock 2x more. then just walk up and ream.
