This event was hype. Good stuff everybody.
I hope this covered the cost of the venue, and that we can do another one in the future.
P.S. Also, why are guilty gear people so fucking weird?
Absolutely incredible event! I loved it. Much thanks to David for putting this together, that was unbelievable.
Props to…
-Portland for coming out.
-RayBlade for winning the singles event before heading to Hawaii with the custom dual modded stick I wanted so badly >=[.
-Props to Slash5150 for hooking up the dope ass stream. That was so tight.
-Grandtanakas of the NW. I kid I kid. Good matches all around. Sucks that we didn’t take it down.
-Riki Oh for having a beastly tournament match with me. That was pretty epic.
-Jared for being the most hyped up human being that has ever walked this planet.
-Brent for calling Jimmy the Saint “James Choker” honestly…that is the tightest mispronunciation of a name I have ever heard in my life.
-Jetay for being unusually hyped over Dr.Pepper.
I think I must’ve gotten like 9th in the singles or something like that, and some of the matches were very hard fought (Pat, Riki, Future, Nolan, Sweepador), feels like I should’ve placed higher or something hahahah. I learned that Chun Li is the only character I can play well in SFIV out of the many characters I can play. Kinda sad actually. Thanks to everyone that gave me love/support, it means a lot.
GGs to those I played
David that place was far beyond anything I imagined…sorrry we ran so late hope it didn’t bring you any misfortune…amazing event
Portland crew you guys are all really tight for comin up and slash you made things more than straight official with the stream…
Better believe I’ll be comin hot this Saturday to set a tone at twars…
Hey, any chance of whoever was running brackets posting the results?
I placed 17th, which out of 70 is pretty impressive…but I definately was gunnin for top 8.
Sooooo many great matches tonight, lots of Tournament Wars revenge matches like:
B0kkin vs. Chris Masters (Boss vs. Jurassic)
Myself vs. Francis (TDP vs. Stretch Armstrong)
Kyle vs. Riki-Oh (FATS vs. RESET DEMON?!)
Elias vs. Jared (RESET DEMON?! vs. Stretch Armstrong)
I’m sad that Season 1 is over! It’s been an amazing experience and an eye opening one for myself. I found out how much I really care about my hobby/passion that is Fighting Games, but also how much I care for my scene and how much Team Seattle means to me. Thank you to everyone of you that have helped me out this season in any shape or form. From randomly turning on Jeff’s camera when he was getting a drink in the bar, to stepping up and volunteering to commentate, to calling people to find out where the hell they were, to going on a food run for me, TO THE PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT ME DRINKS! To those keeping tabs on my xbox while I went to HK to stuff my face with a 160. A thank you will never be enough to show my gratitude to everyone in this scene. With season 2 on the horizon, it just makes me really excited to see how it’s going to pan out. The end results of season 1 as a whole were way more than I ever imagined, and that’s because of ALL OF YOU. I saw tons of players level up so hard since Round 1. Pat, Mikehascookies, Sherwin, Troy, Jared, Gorman, Riki, B0kkin, Gadouken, Mikhail, KK, Ghrrk, just to name a few of many.
Although I am sorry that I couldn’t take it down for Seattle in the finals. I feel I let a lot of people down, Cole has once again taken my candy…for the 4th time…I hope your teeth fall out you greedy sommofa- lol.
I think the biggest highlights were:
Mandel’s combo on Cole in the finals. And the PRICELESS look on Cole’s face when he saw that he actually lost that game.
The faceplant heard round the venue…
Hyre vs. Dugg SEASON 2 GET HYPE!
B0kkin vs. RESET DEMON?! My hat off to you and Mike again. You really love to disappoint people don’t you =p
My matches vs. Cole, Snow, Lee, Francis, and Jeff
My alt taking down a game against Jeff lol.
Kriangkrai being there seriously when I saw you there that put a smile on my face.
To Ray, if there was anyone from pdx that I’d want to see take a Seattle tournament form us…it’s you sir.
To J.T.S. Munky sharing that psychotic potion tell him to give me some so I can BEAST! Congrats on your 2nd place…#2 out of 70 is huge, with Guile too!
To Jetay and all the portland people, I’m glad to see that with all the shit talking we can still meet up and chill.
I’m proud of my team, I’m proud of the fight that we all put up. I had to remind a few people who the fuck MONDAY NIGHT FIGHTS FRANKDADANK WAS.
In the words of Gorman:
SEASON 2 GET HYPE!
I’d like to thank Frank and David for running an awesome event. I didn’t expect to do this well in the Single’s tourney, but I guess the stars were aligned for me tonight =)
Good games to Ben, Cole, Awesome Jones, Bokkin and finally Jimmy the Saint. Guile vs Guile mirror? hmmm?
I went 1-2 in Tekken, so ggs to Evan, Zig and the last guy whose name escapes me.
Thank you Jacob and Evan for the beers. I was afraid this would hurt my game later into the night, but nope! =)
Last, but certainly not least, special thanks to all the Portland/Vancouver/Salem/Woodland people that came up, including:
Slash5150
Omne
FatBear
Mackinzie
Kwijibo
Yangsing
SamB
G_Effect
If there’s anyone I left out, I apologize. Still need to do 4 more hours of final packing before I’m off to Hawaii.
Thank you all NW players for shaping me into the player I am today! =) passes Crystal Baton to FatBear
Great event. Thank you.
Just got home haha.
Mad props to RBX for making the last tournament of his NW career, for now, a memorable one. SONIC BOOM!
Thanks to all the Seattle peeps for the hospitality too.
And thanks to Bokkin for my new sig haha.
Also David, I think you accidentally gave me a power cable when you gave my monitor back since I didn’t bring one.
I don’t even know where to start…
HOLY SHIT!!! thanks everybody. for a totally random idea I had a dream about last august it turned out so much better then I could have possibly imagined. in all honesty I was expecting maybe 50 people max, I was hoping for 50 cause that would have covered the venue fee. I don’t have an accurate count because of all the covers I comped for people helping out, but I put the event somewhere right around 150!! ONE HUNDRED AND FUCKING FIFTY PEOPLE!!! and all because SFIV reminded me of a summer I spent teaching myself sumi-e calligraphy.
so many people helped make this event happen. first and foremost I want to thank the artists who put up with me hounding them and freaking out almost daily. you guys turned out some incredible pieces and really where the soul of this event. Frank for letting me piggy back on the TW hype! Tanaka, dude you saved my ass last night and got that shit done. Slash for the awesome techno widgets and getting a record of this shit! I can’t wait to actually get to watch some matches. and most importantly my wife! shes had to hear me go on and on about Bloody-Knuckles for over 7 months now.

Wow. That is a huge ass bracket.
Damn, so does that mean you wont be coming to Olympia Tournament this Thursday…No more HDR to play with :sad:
Congrats Ray for taking it, glad i met you…Good luck in starting over!
Just sent you a pm about photos.
I sent you a pm also David.
Haha, I’ll be there this week. I’m gonna smash up your GEEF.
The event was too dope, even from the stream perspective. It was so fun watching Jared, Jetay, Frank, Mandel, and Kriankai (I STILL don’t repect your G, son! lol) take the mic and talk shit. From everything I remember, Jared and I think MickeyD that did actual match commentary.
Needless to say, I should have been there. Frank, giving me a shoutout was like… omg. Oh, and it’s pronounced B McKay. Like McDonalds. Only with more meat.
Stunning.
Turtle Bait Stunnaz!
And wow, yes. Props to Saint James for stunning a turtle named Dugg. Great performance!
Edit: Heavy thanks to those who sacrificed time and peace to help run the tournaments and help out. AKA not me. I suck like that.
and yes…when is Bloody Knuckles II: The Secret of the Joose?
