way to have confidence. Just because you will go 2-2 at best and have so many stories of posts and slingshots that fucked you over doesn't mean the rest of us will. this year at Shorty's Portland had 6 in the top 16 including 3 in the top 5 (including Deathsave). PinBrawl last year there were 3 CFF in the top 4. Noah has beaten Cayle in a finals match, and so have you. Keith can be beaten, I have seen Eric do it. I've also seen Eden get beat by Bounceback. Mahaffey was beat by himself but was beaten. Now I know you will want to go off and talk about how we aren't any good and aren't even close to compared with these other 'professionals' and you might be right, but that doesn't mean we can't beat them, because it has been done before. Maybe you should show up to a weekly sometime, and bring bounceback and rom too!

There are two things that the person who wins Pinbrawl is going to need.

1) Skill.
2) Luck.

Anybody can win in the short term if luck is on their side. Even the best players have runs of bad games.

Also, I find it is better to talk smack after you win. Especially if you are 1 out of 125 competitors.

I agree with Aaron in regards to our chances - he's not saying that we (someone in portland) will absolutely 100% be winning this thing - only that it's possible. I mean I love tournaments and have a great time even when I lose, but I'm not going to resign myself to losing before entering. Drop and Rev were in the top 3 last year - that's at least a leg or two to stand on say there's a good chance that someone in our fair city will win. Sure . . . Keith, Cayle and the other mentioned names are higher ranked, and better skilled, but like you said - luck is definitely a factor. Everyone has a shitty game - I just hope the A players have a shitty game when/if I play them and I don't!

I'm looking forward to seeing the guys from up north again - even if they're beating me :) This thing is gonna be a lot of fun, no matter who wins.

I just wanted once again to watch you same d-bags get all up in arms over a post. Think about how easily people fuck with you guys on these posts and then go back and read some of your replies. And yes Aaron, I don't like to lose on a janky machine. You guys are like a support group sometimes. You should hold hands.

I was not responsible for the CFF is stupid post, however. At first I thought it might be someone just stirring the pot, but I have an idea of who it could be. I think the person is a boob, but evereyone should be careful about getting so riled up over posts. Of course everyone has a chance, I'm going to talk shit to you monkeys regardless.

I'm pretty sure no one really gave a shit about that CFF is stupid post. try re-reading it with that in mind. you're the main one here being a dick and trying to stir shit up... wtg.

I was just saying that although I like to stir the pot myself, that it was not me. Oh, and never surrender.

tron420 totally failed to stir the pot, though. it was a lame attempt. I'm just saying you seem to be seeing what you want to see.

I know we can't all be civil to one another all the time (and maybe that's not fun if we are), but you're really going out of your way to call people stupid names. maybe you're not actually trying to stir the pot; maybe you're trying to get written off, a la tronloads.

My fav part about the tron420 thread is how it shifts to talking about how rad the portland pinball map is, and that horned gramma and trick should come to more tournaments cuz they're cool folks and we like them. An example of how threads can be steered off topic towards the positive once in a while . . .

Ha ha ha ha. Mark is the funniest. Maybe you could kick yer legs and flail yer arms for a more dramatic effect.
If I cared to, I could almost be embarrassed for some of you and yer little attitudes. Suck it up a bit and get that everyone is going to have a style of writing, balling, bitching, whining, fighting, that is different than yours. Personally, I am thoroughly entertained by the cff is stupid thread.

Dropshot, Rom, KYL, Opto, Mark, Sauce, I bet each of you $20 you don't win.
And thanks Shelly, you make a very good point. Very appreciated.
You guys really take yourselves sooooooo seriously and it's adorable.
