Of course, I’m just joking around about the ban. Akuma is probably the best counter to honda in the game, even though ryu/deejay have a big advantage too, I just don’t see honda getting through a really solid air fireball game.
PS - I quit honda at the last tourney I was at because of Deejay. RH Slide is the greatest anti-honda move in history.
We’ll see how things are in a couple of weeks/months.
Also, how much time would you think we’ll need for the next tournament?
Because we started so late, and ended way past our time-slot…
An estimation would be awesome.
In all seriousness, you were lucky that the tournament ended as early as it did. If 3S had any more entrants we’d have been straight fucked over. If STHD didn’t get like six DQ’s, it’d have been fucked over. Considering you’re adding SFIV, which is probably a minute longer than 3S per game and you’re likely to get 32+, you’re going to need six hours.
You’re also going to need multiple TV’s because 1 TV just doesn’t cut it when you get into the 16+ player range if you’re on a tight schedule. I was really surprised we had so many TV’s available for random game casuals but no extra copies of 3S or STHD to speed up the tournaments.
walking to Massimo’s Pizza with Gerjay
Me: So yeah, they’re starting at least an hour late.
Gerjay: Yep, that’s pretty good for SF tournies (sad but true)
Me: Supposed to be finished at 6pm
Gerjay & Me: (long pause) HAHAHAHA!
That’s the laughter of tourney experience right there.
BTW get Shin Akuma brackets (16, 32, 64) or if you can get your hands on one a laptop with Tournament Maker would be the ideal setup.
thanks to all the shoryuken people for helping out in the event. I’ve decided to join so I can help keep you guys posted plus you guys can give me your ideas so we can bring you an event smoother event next time!. You can check out pictures from our facebook group.
A & C is a store on Spadina but the tournament itself was held at U of T in the Bahen centre as someone mentioned earlier.

Jay Wang’s Spiral is good but I think I’ve got the best Spiral in Toronto and, until Banshee comes out of retirement, probably in Canada. My Sent sucks ass though so it balances out.
