AND THE BATTLE CONTINUES! SF4@ARCADE INFINITY, 3v3 Teams-- 11/16 RESULTS

Haha I think it was a good way to start a long ass tournament. :wgrin:

You guys need to make the effort to work on your community. The AI tourneys are pretty much the way that the 3s tourneys were in FFA’s heyday so it would be good to get back to that. :lovin:

Massive props to shoo for being right that a team tourney was exactly what the scene needed right now and of course for running it while being under the influence of hype juice!

And of course scott and his brother for their dedication. Now at AI, we officially have the best community, best tournaments and best videos and setup. We finally got the sound right.

Ken I and Ed: You guys came through when it counted! High fives for team strategerizing!

Also, can’t forget our resident hypenators from the tropical land of Samoa: Bebop and Luka! All the hypernating paid off!

And of course Mike Ross, whose mental turtling strength is top tier! We really set the hype bar pretty high with that round, only to have it raised with each match after that!

Also, I hope everybody realizes and appreciates what we have here because it wasn’t long ago that we didn’t even know SF4 existed, much less know that we’d be packing 50+ people into an arcade in 2008 to watch a tournament! :lovin:

damn i wish i could have been in the tourney…

mark from video 94 is a punk :stuck_out_tongue:

lol…

the Arcade Infinity SF4 Teams - Valley Dae Ultracarl VS Developers! video got hella fast after the 7 min mark…

next tourney i promise! :wink:

GGs to all again, hope to you see you all and good seeing people that I don’t see often…Until the next time!

Wow, what a awesome gathering of people. You don’t see tournaments like this outside of EVO or annual tournaments like Midwest or whatever. Not only did we have 16 teams but we had even more players that could have played but couldn’t make it or came but we were already capped out! :woot: SF4, TvC, BlazeBlue… Sick time for fighting game fans!

Anyway, shout outs:

Ken: Even though he doesn’t read this, he’s the owner of AI and he keeps his machines in great shape and provides stools and a soda machine and a great arcade going so us players can have fun. Thanks dude!

Scott: You are the MAN for recording and putting together these vids! Community owes you a big favor dude. Remind me to buy you some drinks. :wgrin: GL on the job interview(s).

Shoo: For running the tournament. Running a 48 man tournament is tough, nuff said. Also, your buzzed Bison is a beast!

Ken I, Gootecks: GOOD SHIT GOOD SHIT GOOD SHIT! AND GOOD SHIT!

Sanchez, Luka, random commentary fools: You guys make me laugh. Entertaining the crowd during a marathon tournament is too good.

Team Steve Balmer & The Developers: I just like you guys. :slight_smile:

Jimmy: Still the best El Fuerte I’ve seen in the states.

Tatsu: Who are you? Your Vega is too nice.

People who played me in Battle Fantasia: Rabbit power!

Bill Wellman: The most improved player for sure. GJ carrying your teammates.

Valle: I win. :lovin: Come play more sir.

Everyone for coming out and having leveled up and making the scene what it is. Good shit everyone! :woot:

Also, I would like to say yesterday was the first time I’ve ever seen Mike Z pump his fist and do a victory shout like EVER. All for a game he apparently hates. LOL.

Haha snooty? I had to look that word up, mang. Good games!

Yeah, that was ridiculous. After that match, Bebop and I turned to each other, and all I could do was silently mouth “O… M… G…” with my eyes all rolled up. Gonna be a real treat on video.

Great games to everyone, had an awesome time. I’d never been to AI before, and I guess this was a good first time to go. Shoutouts: Everyone, high five. Good job to my teammates, Bob and Alex, good job to Pherai for driving, and good job to the Boat for doin it right.

But I still can’t believe they’re changing that ending, too dumb.

Good shit on the turn out. Ill be back in LA for christmas holidays. I’m comin for you Ed, I wanna beat down that Ken lol. Jumpin at dhalsim, are u crazy =P

Cole

Oh yeah forgot to mention that everybody should know that it was Team Paul/Eric/Tatsu’s first tourney and they did awesome! Really good showing for their first tournament. I went 2 and out my first tourney and I’m sure that everybody else usually does too, so good job to those guys.

Im glad everyone had fun.

Good shit to all the winners. You guys are fucking beats.

Singles in 2 weeks

I seriously wanna see CSB vs Ron

I got $10 on ron :lovin:

thanks guys. yeah, i’m still pretty new to the scene and paul and eric and just guys that drop by AI sometime to “play for fun and not take the game too seriously” (directly quoted from their mouths!). but i’m just glad we managed to build up some hype for you guys. :slight_smile:

i only wonna thank one person

luka: thats for taking under your wing and allowing me in your team, great fun, great hype, great drank

Me taking <3pig under my wings.

I got $10 on Ron too LOL, His Rog is pretty beastly.

I’m a firm believer of “You are only as good as your competition” & it seems like you guys have a great friendly community of strong players down at AI. I’ll try to stop by on Saturdays and learn the hard way (by getting schooled!)

I’m a thief Luka, I admit it.

No, it was their first tourney EVER. AFAIK, Marvel and CVS tourneys still count :woot:

:lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin::lovin:
you should wait for the one i wanna make for bops/ron/sanchez…:looney:
