got my team mixed up with vanny’s.
hey you gonna post the video up?
Nah, I don’t think that Justin will post the vids up. It’s probably more of a referance thing.
Yesterday was pretty fun…
Highlight Of The Day: Standard fare 5th place in CvS2
Low Point Of The Day: Dropping $10 to Bryan on the bet vs Rey
Line Of The Day: There were too many yesterday between that wacky lunch at PM and KBBQ later.
I started the day out heading to Pizza Pizza to get Ian for his first tournament. Of course I started the day off right with a balanced breakfast including a Meatylicious slice (protein) and a tall chocolate shake (cal… ci… um?). I chilled there for 1/2w hour but Ian doesn’t show. Well thanks for wasting my time. Anyway I head down to Tim Hortons at BCC and Tyrell is waiting outside. I’m disappointed he didn’t have a new random girl he was hitting on like the last time. Steve’s inside buying some strawberry deal (fancy boy) and we’re off.
We spent the entire car ride talking about Tekken 5 and the old Tekken storyline. It mainly boiled down to how much of a bad man Kazuya is and how he doesn’t give a fuck about anyone family or otherwise. Too many jokes about OG Tekken and how it looked like blocky shit for the longest time. I at least got a refresher on the story for the last couple installments because I didn’t know jack about Tekken going into the tournament.
We hit ORBIT and I played some casual. Eric got all pissy because I took 2/3 from him using all runaway tactics and the greatest new move of all: TIGER KNEE AIR SUPER! I smacked soooooo many people with that move today. Kin can’t handle Vega BTW. Anyway GGXX of course hadn’t started or was even close to starting so I elected to join CvS2 instead. Eric gave me the 4th seed (WHICH I DESERVE!) and we’re off to the races.
Vs Ant (2nd Round): I got a bye in the first round. Ant is Eric’s student and of course Eric has to bet me $1 to extend his losing bet streak. Anyway, the guy uses K CBS and it isn’t bad but nothing I couldn’t handle. First match was a walk and he didn’t see Vega. Second match I got cocky thinking I’d run him and he smoked me back. Third match I took seriously and again he didn’t see R2 Vega. In time that guy is going to be really good.
Vs Kin (3rd Round): I already beat Kin in casual today so I figured it was going to be tight but nothing I couldn’t beat. He runs A Kyo/Todo/Mai and beats me down pretty badly in the first game because I kept jumping into him when he had Todo Grab CC. Second match I switch to Kim in the back (who was asking me just recently if I ever do that?) and rush him down with Vega. It works pretty well and I take it. Third match Kin fucks up his order and puts his R2 in the back instead of the usual middle. Vega runs shit for free, Guile gets punked and then I wait him out with Kim as I drop C.U.R.T. out of fear of the CC and take it.
Vs Roger (4th Round): I knew I was going to losers bracket at this point but thought I’d do better than I did. Roger runs with C Honda/Sagat/Blanka and nearly OCV’s me with Honda alone. Second match I use Weapon X and actually made a go of it. It came down to the wire but I couldn’t get my J.HP - C.LP XX Crystal Flash to work and the time ran out.
Vs Gerjay (5th Round - Losers Bracket): This is yet another chapter in the long running series of me losing to Gerjay in as tight a match as you can have. He runs A Honda/Sakura/Blanka like usual. I played the Kim vs Honda match to perfection (if I do say so myself) and nearly got a perfect. Then his Sakura comes in and CC’s me to death. Then he builds meter and CC’s my Guile to death. Vega takes her without much trouble and then of course it’s the Vega vs Blanka match we’ve done what seems like a million times. We go back and forth, the time hits 2 seconds, I go for the walk up throw and he manages the tech, beating me by maybe a couple pixels. DAMN IT! Really good match though.
I can’t really do a log for Tekken 5 because I only played one match and I was slaughtered by a Kazuya player in like two minutes. While I’m on the subject though, Tekken 5 drew a massive 56 players and had the most lively crowd of players I have ever come across outside of when we were at ECC9. The matches (when I stopped in to watch every now and then) were crazy. Everything hits for like 60% damage because of the juggling system and even worse when you get the guy in the corner and just pummel him to death. I’m definitely going to learn Tekken 5.
We hit KBBQ afterwards and that was a great time. Angry Black was looking for revenge after I schooled him in how much food could be eaten the last time around (Pete was the champ though). This time was different because I spent so much time yapping with Gordon and Wing and talking shit for literally hours that I didn’t eat nearly as much as I could have. The best conversation was all “OH MY GOD, YOU KNOW WHAT WE’D KILL YOU IN? (fill in random game here)?” It was so jokes talking smack and thinking of all the crazy moments over the last few years at different tournies (I can’t believe we brought up the Final Four at ORBIT incident from over two years ago). When it was all said and done, we agreed on an attraction match for T6 with East GTASF (without Roger & Eric to make it more even) vs West GTASF in a CvS2 5 on 5 Challenge. I think Gordon is running Ian/Marvin/Wing/Jay/Gordon and I have to assemble a team of my own. We all agreed that me/Gerjay/Tylor is a lock so I only need to get two more members and we’re good to go.
HIGHLIGHTS:
The Chun Li Super scam that Eric pulled on Darin. :tdown:
The little asian kid that beat Nathan in MvC2. 
Kin desperately trying to get people to play him in CFJ. FUCK THAT GAME! :arazz:
Team Sauga argueing over what was the best Zelda game ever made at lunch. :rolleyes:
FAISAL HOOKS UP THE B5 DVD! That completes my collection (B5, EVO2K2 - EVO2K4, ECC9, Texas Showdown 4, NEC3) of the major SF DVD’s. :pleased:
Yelling “YEEEAAAH” when people got DQ’d during the Tekken 5 Tournament. :wtf:
Where does Jay keep getting this US Money? :xeye:
X-Sapphire not saying a single word the entire time at KBBQ. Is he always that quiet? 
Happy to make it home in one piece when Brampton gets hit with the insane fog just after the 427. 
NOT DIRECTING THE TOURNAMENT! I HAVE A VOICE THIS MORNING! :tup:
GG’s to everyone and thanks to Eric for running the tournament.
I say Bry is a must. Last spot I dunno…
me 
i finally beat bry yesterday!
but damn, wing just needs to pick r4 nak, and he’ll beast on all of us
I’m sure this will be a point of contention not so much Bryan as who is deserving of the spots. Truth be told I can pick this arbitrarily and it’d be on my head if the two people I chose aside from the initial three couldn’t hold up their end of the stick. In all likelihood I’ll hold a qualifier tournament (probably at Road To T5 1st Stage in July) with who I think is the top 4 - 6 players in the West End. We’ll run it Round Robin so everyone takes on everyone and the top 2 advance to the team. BTW, the initial three aren’t debateable. Both Gerjay and my tournament records speaks for itself. Tylor has not only gained the respect of his peers over on the west end but he was the first person that Kin, Wing and Gordon all agreed was very good and deserving of his spot.
I wanna play for a spot. . . I wish sauga actually had a CvS2 to play on.
Put me in the round robin!
:tup:
I’m in as well…
yeah, me too.
why dun’t u make roger rep west end since he goes to school there ne wayz, and i’ll rep east end?
u and him are too good = banned
Can I play spoiler?
While I’m sorry that we aren’t able to include either you or Roger, your participation was ruled out for an obvious reason. With the exception of the match where you’d play each other, your participation would create a situation where you’d go at least 4 - 0 short of an insane fluke loss. However, with every other team member on the respective teams, there is more than enough doubt on either end that the matches could go either way.
but how can it be an attraction match without the GTAs best talents???
It’s a matter of good competition more than anything else. When you throw Roger & Eric into the equation it changes the entire dynamic of things. There isn’t anyone in their right mind that would argue the west GTA has a shot at beating the east GTA with Roger & Eric on the team. However, there are more than enough east GTA players that still say they (as a collection of players) are better than the best the west has to offer. So now we’ll put it to the test and see who comes out on top. If the west can do it maybe down the line we run it with Eric & Roger in the mix and see if we can still pull it off. But one thing at a time.
well maybe they shouldn’t be assigning positions on the east team so early, T6 is a while from now and I’m going into some training so I’ll be playing for that 5th spot :tup:
This is The Cate posting BTW at mitchells house so it signs into Brys account WWWWWWOAH!!! ULTIMATE TEAM!!!
GG to Ed and Justin last night, Steve was too scared to come play probrably because he’s afraid of the verbal beatdown my mom would lay on him…hahahaha

Thanks ^__^… It was fun playing different people; it’s been a while = P.
