[11] Champion
Toronto Regionals + TO vs Buffalo vids ALL DONE!
Why is this taking so long? Surprise family visit. That's all I've got to say.
First, I just want to say sorry, OOF. I really thought I'd gotten your early matches, but I'd been recording Wallace because I wanted to prove that NM isn't a bottom feeder and I was sure Wallace would get somewhere. That, and I recorded my own matches because I never do and I just felt like it. O_o
That out of the way, here's what I did get:
Full list of coming vids:
Muffins vs Dino
Battle for the GET THE MONEY Belt -- Toronto vs Buffalo
I guess Vints really wanted that belt. Buffalo came close a few times, but his Sophie proved too tough a nut for them to crack. Looking forward to the rematch!
Right now I'm uploading them in the order I recorded them, because I'm lazy like that. If there's a match you'd like to see sooner, just let me know and I'll work on it next.

2-0 for SilentWall
I'm torn about this one. In the background you can hear STD getting knocked into Losers by Jug's Yun, which is an upset I did not see coming, otherwise I would have recorded it for sure. Let that be a lesson for all: Don't fuck around with secondaries (or rusty former mains) when shit is on the line.
I recorded this one instead because 1: <3 Wallace, and 2: Wallace needs to see other Nighty's in action, because you need some bigass combos, man! Solid pressure otherwise, and some nice moves from Riches.

2-0 for Russel
Not much to say about this one. Russel playing solid, and he's damn near impossible to stop when he gets going. Freak 8A+K whiff was kind of a heartbreaker. :/

2-1 for OOFMATIC
Wish I'd thought of a blind pick before the match. Not saying it would have helped me, at all, but man is Rock vs SK ever brutal. Random ground throw whiff in the second round was pretty lame, too. I thought I may have even had a bit of a chance when OOF pulled out the Hilde ('cus I'm dumb like that), but not on that stage.
Other than that, thanks for the lending me the stick, Kowtow. Wish I'd have some time to warm up on it, but I was still pleased as punch just to have it.
I kept the OOF's counter-picking in this time, but damn. Let me just say: I'm glad I brought an extra pair of batteries.

2-0 for ChaCha
Can't really speak about the characters since I'm not very familiar with either X or Cervy, but I know Cha's X is slippery as a greased-up trouser snake. And he was playing very solid that day, too. Excellent spacing and punishing.

2-0 for Valei
Sucks to get a Hilde beatdown at your first tourney. Nothing else to say, except maybe that staying with the Cage might have been a good idea. ;o

This time I had Valei to thank for the stick. But godamn is that thing ever massive!
I didn't play so great in this one. Took me some time to get used to everything. Good game to BJ. Astaroth can be pretty scary. Hope to play you again sometime soon.

2-1 for SilentWall
This one's for all the Nightmare haters. Vints plays one of the toughest Sophies around, very hard to deal with for anyone. After losing a close first set, Wallace pulls ahead and eventually delivers a convincing victory. Excellent spacing and Yomi and good use of his tools. <3 Wallace.

2-0 for Muffins
This is why Vints is a force. His Sophie is just plain old hard to deal with. When you're getting 236B'd off of blocked 2As you know you're in trouble.

2-0 for Pyrozamfir
Good game to Pyro. He beat me pretty bad here, so it's back to the drawing board vs Siegy. Niggling input problems on my part certainly didn't help, either.

2-1 for OOFMATIC
Just want to say sorry for the framing. There were 2 TVs in a corner, and you can see Jeff keeps moving his head into the shot. That's because the camera was pretty much looking over his shoulder while he played his match to the left. I should have set up better, but I didn't think OOF would keep sticking his head into the frame like that. :o
Dino lucks out with a cage match in the first set, but even so it looked like OOF might take it. The next stage they get is a split, since it has 3 walls and is of decent size. Even so, OOF takes the next set with ROs. Dino starts to get his act together, keeping distance and stepping to try and force OOF to whiff his charged Bs, and he looked like he might have taken it, but in the last round he has his back to the wall and got a little cocky. OOF wins, but it was a tight match.

Valiant effort from Pyro, but Vints is like a godamn machine. Ducking JF a

Surprisingly short. Voldo gets his rape on, and if you don't know what to watch for there's not much you can do about it.

2-1 for neorussel
A real back and forth match. Russel comes out of the gate strong, taking 2 easy rounds. But Dino comes back to dominate the next 3 and wins the first set. He takes the momentum into the next few rounds, but eventually Russel gates his game going and even gets himself a flashy internet finish.

3-0 for OOFMATIC
OOF consults his pokedex and decided on Lizardman for taking down Wallace's Nightmare. It was a good choice; Wallace is denied his best low punishers when WRB and FC3B prove completely inconsistent against crawl stance, and he can't come up with a solution in time.

This was a great match. Almost every round was close, and both players show amazing defence. In the end, though, Russel proved that his bag of tricks is nearly bottomless and pulls out all the stops on his way to victory.

A lot of tight rounds here. But OOF's Talim is beastly. A well deserved win.
