17 players, getting bigger again.

Sorry but I don't have the laptop on me.
Off the top of my head:

1st - Oofmatic
2nd - STD
3rd - NeoRussell

This tournament was kind of crazy. SFIV completely took over again with 92 players.

People I played:

Eli: Keep it up, your almost there. use 9b alot.

Page: No stick means, instant win for me. Next time i guess

Stryder Chris: Sigh, Yoshimitsu still on top. I think I can read you properly now. Once you go to stance, I get 75% chance of hitting you. Anyways, good games and next time, hopefully you'll get me.

STD: I couldn't concentrate on our match so I just gave it to you. I was distracted by the fast beats playing in the background. So I played around. Dissappointed you lost to Oofmatic though. Complete failure.

Oofmatic: You will see the day when Vader loses to Yoshimitsu. I also refuse to go to training mode. LOL

BIG BIG BIG BIG THANKS to EMILY
She handled everything perfectly well.
Good thing she didn't panic and all that jazz.
Great girl and even better organizer.

Ember – Awesome job at organizing everything and you were very cool. With all those people, it could have easily caused anyone to be stressful, and you handled the situation with class. And next time we definitely have to play, it been far to long.

Dino – Thanks for hosting the tournament again, the place was huge yet all those SF players overwhelmed us and we were (like always) in a tiny corner lol.

Russell – Dam that Yoshi, is really something. I’ll keep trying, I will get there one day, I hope…

Jeff – Our rematch, wow it was very intense. I hope that match was recorded. GGs

Vince – GGs but I know I wasn’t a match for you, I am really weak, and I need to do a lot of training. And the sc3 matches were fun. I know nothing about Hwang, but it was still fun play someone who still has passion for the game. At least in this one I could do SS/CS. Anyways I am always up for SC3, if there a gathering and you want to play that, I have my Japanese PS2 and NTSC-JP version of SC3 I could bring.

Oof – Nice Oof, you did it and got first. Even when you thought you were down and was certain that a win was not possible, you preserved and got the win. GGs for the casual matches, yea I can Re-GI that force but that pretty much it, lol. I am going to take what you told me and apply it, although it will be a long road to go.

STD – I know I did horribly and I let you down. But I am going to keep training and I’ll be in the top 3, you’ll see. Also I need to play against you, maybe gathering, I hope?

Page – Nice job, you place very high in this tournament.

Stryder – I didn’t face you this tournament, but even if I did you’d destroy me in no time. I have to improve my game a lot; I am depending on those unblockable way too much.

Kyper – We didn’t face each other but hopefully at the next tournament/gathering we can play one another.

GG to Voldo player, my unblockable spam didn’t really work against you.

Unblockable Spam FTL :(

I came 5th, I know I suck.

vints came prepated this time. good show.

Oofs lucky I had to play him right after I blazed. Next time I'll go to Taki.

Shouts to Russ and Emily and oof for a Job well done. I think I expressed my gratitude enough in person, but gotta show love on the forums too!!!

I came in 5th and I'm mostly happy about it, so what does that mean?

Anyway, I had fun. I choked against Russel, but that's nothing new. He breaks the game and it throws me off.

It was nice seeing the new players, even the guy I played who left without warning. I guess nobody told him it was double elimination. I have good vids of the finals, but the rest are a mixed bag: I have all my matches, but my head is all over them, so I'll see what's actually worth watching. I was at the bar for a while while I waited for me last matches and only a few matches got recorded then, though one isn't focused properly and I can't even tell who's playing. I was going to record the SF2HDR finals, but we went for food.

Anyway, good job Emily on running everything well, and our match was too close. You had me sweating buckets!

Good job OOF on ending the Amy reign of terror (I don't care what he says).

Vints, your Sophie is still a major pain in the ass to play against.

Chris, our rematch will have to be next time. I will figure out a way to beat CR if it's the last thing I do.

Everyone else, I hope you had fun and I want to play more of you next time!

5th out of 17? Not bad, Page. Was it mostly Mi-na or Rock used? I wanna see vids.

Two Mina wins, one Rock (vs Lizardman, how could I not?).

Vids in the next couple of days.

Good job OOF against STD. Who did you use?

Whew. I'm still pretty beat from yesterday. I definitely need more sleep but I'm glad everyone enjoyed themselves!

Page: Those were some close matches! I know I have to stop hesitating because of your range.

Eli: Thanks! I'm glad you had fun and it was cool watching you and Vints play SC3. I never realized how bad the graphics were in that game. XD Hopefully there will be a gathering or something soon so we can get some matches in! You keep improving every time I see you play!

gw8(I can't remember how to spell the rest of your name): Good game! It's nice to see a new player come out! Hopefully you can come out to tournaments in the future.

Vints: You are a beast as always. As long as you continue to believe in me, I will believe in you. =D

Dino+Russ: Your shoutouts are on the shoryuken forum. =)

Also Junior and Page, you guys are hilarious. We need to go to dinner more often,

i'm pretty much done with these forums, and this will be my last post on here... jaxel if you can delete my account that will be great ^_^b or any admin that can ty ^^b....

i gave my props in person to everyone that was there, and it was a blast...ty everone for coming and you guys better rep at evo <3

So you're no longer playing SC as well as not attending NATs and EVO? If that's the case I'm sure gonna miss practicing against your Amy.

(If anyone must, please talk to Junior in person. Just saying, to help keep this thread fantastic. Hint hint.)



Yes, I had tons of fun! Thanks Dino, Russell, Emily and everyone for helping organize/run this event. Two of the new guys are friends from my area; the Voldo player is Peter (Macaroni), and the Sophi player is John (gw8test).



Shouts-


Macaroni + gw8test: Thanks again for coming out. You're both doing well considering how long some of
the tourney players have been at it. Keep it up, and ask anytime if you want practice or advice.


Emily: "Believe in me, as I believe in you, tonight! Tonight, tonight!" Our tournament match, you didn't
believe in yourself. I could feel it. Don't let me get to your head. Anyway, always a pleasure seeing you!


Christopher Stryder!- We rule. I'm glad to see we are still friends to this day. Our same sense of humour
be ballinnnnn. Hey, we didn't even play SC4. Next time, okay? And, enjoy your upcoming show.


Page: I had no idea you're such a comedian at the table! Well, your Mina seems to be progressing
since you tied for 5th. I couldn't really tell, though. I mean, I tried to end our match early
and still feel like a dick for it. Sorry, again! Keep improving.


Dinoz: Nice match. For some reason I don't have much to say about it (seemed to happen so fast).
Anyway, I loved the venue becaue it was a brilliant choice. Tell me on MSN if we'll ever get to have
another tournament there.


OOFMATIC: OH SNAPS. That was some nice wings, and nice games. But why won't you use Talim or Lizzy???
Baby Jesus cries.


Kyper: Thanks for playing me and thanks for coming to dinner with the crew.
I'll be sure we have a longer session sometime. I'm curious to learn Raph more,
and also understand your style a bit. I'm sure I can help you get better if you want too.


Eli: Yo. I can see you're determined to be a top player. Whatever happens, don't forget to be yourself
at the end of the day. 'Cause you're one of the good guys. That being said, your SC3 Ivy is
pretty good. Your SC4 Ivy is tough too. Add me on MSN if you ever want to chat. See you later!

That tournament was great. Great venue, good music, and it was great seeing everyone again.

Dino: That place was perfect for tournaments. I hope everything turned out well in the end with the management, and that they were happy with how it turned out. It would be great to have more tournaments there. And next time you really should pick Taki. Your Voldo and Amy stand no chance against the Dark Side of the FORCE. :P

Junior: Whaaa? Quitting the forums? I'm sure you have your reasons, but I hope this doesn't mean you'll be going all emo like your brother. We still gotta play a lot! If I don't get practice sessions in against you I won't feel confident for Evo. :(
Even though I won 6-1, I was disappointed with with my performance, since I didn't feel like I was playing too well that day. But thankfully luck was on my side, and you were playing bad too. The jedi mind tricks got to you. :P

Emily: Great job handling the tournament. Hope it didn't get too stressful for you. And you got that bye that you wanted so thats good. :)
Sorry that I didn't go out with you guys afterwards. I had to leave soon and I wanted to get some final games in with Sunny and Dino. Next time for sure. ^_^b

Chris: I look forward to playing you and Emily a bit before Evo. It will be great practice for me. Especially if you use Hilde. :)

Vints: Damn those wings WERE good! Talim and Lizzy are on vacation! Try to come down before Evo!!

Russell: I hope you don't mind, I edited the thread title with the actual tournament name. You really need to go into training mode once in a while, it will really help! :P
Let me know about the situation with Evo. I might buy my ticket soon. Can you please post the full results with the TIO bracket? Thanks.

Sunny: Your determination will bring you to a new level of play. Your true power has yet to be unleashed. Just work on getting rid of some of your habits and start working on hitting CS/SS, and you'll reach the next level of your game. I look forward to playing you more often. :)

Page: Thanks for recording vids. Mad respect for doing good with 'low tier' characters. Good times!

Kyper: We hardly ever play. We should make sure to have a good session in next time.

Macaroni & gw8test: Thanks for coming out. It was nice meeting you guys, and I hope you will make it to the next one!

Papy: Vader all the way! :D

Everyone else: Hope you all had a good time! :)

haha online ftw! will Oofy ever be stopped? :)

STD: even the best of us have bad days. nonetheless, your consistent placing in tournaments is impressive. and as for quitting the forums. tsk tsk. you can't get away from us that easy. hug? <3

ummm... after reading this properly, this is Senior and not Junior. Don't confuse yourselves guys. You can tell with the perfect grammar. Junior is not going to EVO from what I know. Not sure about Nationals though.

NeoRussell

I'm hungry for some wings right now.

Yeah OOF! Good job brother!

Can someone post the full results and brackets? It would really help me figure out who's playing in some of the vids.

Page! Wheres the vids! :p

Word where is the vids. It seems like people are holding out.

What Vids?!! This was a Mighty Busy tournament. It was more focused on the SF4 tourney which jus blew up.

Check SRK Results forum for Pics of the Event. Still does not show how great (with minor blips) the tourney was.
