Three other matchups with potential.... Grendel/Foil on Kataclysmica These guys can pop off MD rounds quite well. Could make for some good fights on an MD-centric level like Kata. Behemoth/Korpze Korpze is pretty solid, and it would be fun to take on the Descent Brothers. Behemoth/JesusFreak If JF e...

In '04 JF and I could have taken you two. :-p Maybe. But we were both retired in '04. I was a very good player when I retired at the end of 2002, but I didn't reach true Legendary Status until I came back in '08 and Behemoth motivated me to switch the mouse. :P Ever since then the game's been almos...

I'm not sure if anyone took demos of the games. I wanted to, but didn't. For some reason recording demos causes D3 on my laptop to have these mini hiccups. Every 4-5 seconds it will stall for a half second. Far too annoying and disruptive for me to record because of that. Ryu saw the issue first han...

The matches have been played! Much respect to Behemoth and Zero for showing up and playing really well. However, it was not enough to break our winning streak as Ryu and I managed to win 3 competitive matches in a row. Game 1: Core 100-90 Game 2: Kata 100-86 Game 3: Indika 100-96 These games were cl...

Make a list of the levels and order they would be played, so we can agree on them.

That way if it includes a level like Athena which I have never actually 2v2'ed on, I can make sure I've at least brushed up on the layout.
