There’s a lot of video, some of it is usable, some of it needs to be trashed because the computer ran it with errors. But because there is a lot, i’m going to release this in sections:
9th place and beyond, i will run this batch today and put it on the youtube channel,
8th to 5th place, later this week, or the weekend.
Top 4 and Grand Finals, Next week at best.

There are also team post-game interview videos. Gootecks interviewed a lot of people on the handheld, i haven’t looked through these yet, dunno how much there is… Expect them in the final matches or on www.gootecks.com

California is on fire, literally and figuratively.

48 players! Thanks for making AI and Socal the best sf4 scene in America!

sorry to shglbmx for being the 49th player.

videos are being worked on… theres some issues with the video (audio sounds great). Lets just say not all of them came out, random errors can’t figure out why its happening. Gonna be sifting through 295 gigs (!!!) of video from tonight’s tournament, bound to have good shit in there.

3

i demand slow motion footage of mike ross vs gootecks final round. the entire round.

was great fun, major props to the people running this and making it happen. will def be around for the next one.

4

definitely the most hype sf4 tournament. big thanks to shoo and staff for running the tournament and making sure things went smoothly. ggs to everyone, and thank you to matt and matt for being beastly teammates.

5

Dae’s team has Ultracarl (guy in the white shirt on the left) on it… dunno the other dude.

6

Good shit to Team Vinegar. we won for best name OBV. thanks for mike and jal for carrying my ass since i was playing real sloppy first couple of games.

also thanks to AI, Gootecks, Scott, Shoo for runnin everything, and Luka for keeping shit hype all the time. I had a lot of fun. Total opposite experience from being at an FFA tournament, where i would want to kill myself.

also shout out to Bill Wellman. You played really well yesterday imvapao.

7

Shout outs to Ron Stoppable for beasting as usual. Hopefully Mrs. Stoppable was able to lift your spirits post-tourney. :wink:

Things I learned:

  • Get more than 5hrs of sleep the day before
  • UltraDavid is snooty. Yes, I said it. :bgrin:
  • The Ken I stare is the 10th wonder of the world
  • Luka is SF4’s Flava Flav
  • Needs more hype-juice
  • Joe’s gotta dookay bootay
  • Shoo Mighty

Grasping this, I feel, is gonna help me gangbang niggas at the next team tourney; Dr. Manhattan style.

i was on Dae’s team, gg’s to everyone! it was a really fun tourny. i wasnt really used to the layout there but it definately is a good one. The screen felt kind of close and i needed to adjust but it sure is a badass setup. also thanks to shoo and everyone that helped make this tourny go really smooth. it was my first time at ai and hopefully not the last. good shit to my partner dae keeping us alive! and Edma… the match against combo’s team, oh man that was the best ken i have ever seen! i will try to attend more tournies here if i can cuz i need as much tourny exp as i can get hah i got so nervous in my first two matches. haha you got my team pic with my eyes closed. i closed after the first flash :slight_smile:

15

sounds like an awesome tourney, good job to everyone.

sorry I didn’t show up, viscant couldn’t make it cuz the roads were blocked due to fires, and pimp willy had some personal matters to attend to, so i didn’t feel like randomly showing up and hoping someone would have picked me up.

I can’t wait for the vids.

Hopefully see you guys at the next one.

Good games to everyone! Very long, but fun tournament. There were a lot of close epic matches and a good variety of characters being used.

It was my first team tourney & I didn’t expect one of my teammates to be a no-show(thank you shogo for helping us out at the last moment) It was also shocking to find out yesterday that MikeZ has only played the game like 12 times and doesn’t even like it :looney:

It was nice to see so much enthusiasm in the crowd, FFA tourney are very silent and everyone seems pissed off at each other, different locals I guess…?

I need to visit AI and Denjin to get a better feel of what competition is out there, and how to play against the rest of the roster (other than ken, ryu, sagat, zangief all day)

Note to self: Visit an arcade at least once before attending its tournament, It was hard to get used to the extremely close monitors and sticks i’m not used to. (1P stick was also a little funky, saw lots of zangiefs missing the green hand combo ender)

17

to much fun guys!

good shit to paul eric and tatsu team upsetting everyone :tup:

it was fun watching different players like busta, CSB, ultra david and others, different arcades do breed different styles :woot:

luscious luka yelling out “i want valle!!” was god tier :lovin:

Mike Ross and Gootecks 99 seconds of turtling hype was just too much:rofl: :arazz:

and finally for peter (combofiend)… til the next time we meet my rival :cool:
