dude i mentioned it when we went to get beer but you just wanted to drink lol
First off–Big thanks to Shogo and Bagrat for being awesome. You guys are the best.
FatBeezy/BigMac(k)-Great meeting you guys. Hope you come down again soon. YOU SOME COOL ASS NIGGAS.
Arizona-You guys are too nice. Great seeing Abe, Rochus, and Sabre again and meeting new people. I really should’ve gotten names.
Hawaii-Always fun playing you guys. Such quality from a smaller community. Fucking beasts.
NorCal-Gotta ask for names, fuck. Good fun having you guys come down. Sebastian, we need to chill more.
Luka-WHY ARE YOU SO LUSH? Thanks again for organizing shit and being hype.
Bops-I bow to you, sir.
Bob-fucking-ino-When you beat me I thought to myself: “This guy is gonna take it”–no joke. You’ll be seeing me at Vid. Believe that.
Busta-“YOU OWE ME A WATER, BITCH!”I love you.
N.Dragon/DSO-Glad to help.
All my socal people–Props to all of you for being cool. I apologize for sucking at SF. Next time, I’ll try to get some drinks in… and sleep.
Ok, shoutouts…
Shogo: Thank you for having such an awesome arcade. Having so many h2h cabs was really great to see. It was really well-kept, the controls were immediately fixed and rarely broken, and overall a great experience. We’ll definitely drop by again sometime.
Luka and bebop: Hypest and loudest guys I met in socal, you made the tourney funny as fuck, and it was awesome to chill with you at the bar. Next time let’s get even more faded!
Yi: Thank you for knocking me into the loser bracket in <4 minutes. You’ve got a crazy ken, great playing against you. The stories you told were fucking hilarious. Next time we drop by, let’s get some more games/drinks in, haha. BLAKUMA FOR LIFE.
Pherai: Sorry I wasn’t able to get any casuals with you :[, but next time for sure. Also, pic of you puking = on my myspace ahahaha
Ken I: Please stop with the makoto grabbing :[
Ryan (LBR): Good games, you were right, I’m glad I came down and I wish we coulda stayed a little longer. You gotta come up here again sometime and hang out with us.
Abe: Yang is an asshole, yes. Hahahaha the matchup is weird, but it’s just experience. Your yun got better, I think I was just having a lucky day. See you soon hopefully
Ryan (laugh): Good job on taking Cvs2, represent that Korean pride! haha nice to see you again
Kyle and James: Good playing guys again, I’m sorry we weren’t able to get more casuals in :[. James, definitely get back to me on that Japan thing, I totally want to go this year!
James (bean): We gotta hang out again sometime! It was good seeing you, your Yun is getting up there… just need to learn how to fight yang haha.
Potter: Yeah haha I play 3s, but I also took the time to watch you beat fools with cable/sent/shuma g. hahaha that was pretty sick to watch
Vinny: Good to see and play against you again. You definitely leveled up since I met you at evo, sick ken, keep at it.
Fatbear and Mackinzie: Nice to meet you guys, definitely really chill… Aside from the random near bar fight incident. Hahaha so random. See you guys next time!
The tournament was awesome. First time really playing socal 3s players and fuck, you guys are great. Talking with you guys about 3s and playing against you all opened my eyes up a bit more. I’m definitely glad I came out, not only for the games we all got in, but for hanging out during and after the tourney. Just talking random shit was great, don’t have to play games to have fun… haha.
It’s really too bad that all the 3s players are scattered across the U.S. It makes it that much more difficult to get better and learn from one another, but we gotta make due with what we’ve got, yeah? I like the sound of that Sado Metropolis though… haha.
To all the people that hate 3s because Chun/Yun/Ken ALWAYS win: Here you go. I had an extremely difficult bracket [Amir/Ken I/Vinny/5star, these people are known for a reason], so it wasn’t like I just cruised on by. Yi whooped my ass in winner finals, too [badly]. However, I stuck with a mid-tier character and played hard, and it paid off. That’s why I fucking hate it when people say only the top 3 win: those people don’t want to put in the effort to get hella good with another character and prove them wrong. Pick who you want in 3s [except for 12 and Sean, they suck], play, learn, adapt and do your thing. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely possible.
Also - homegirl is done with me. :lol: Seems she found someone else while I was in socal and forgot all about me (that might be due to the concussion ahahahaha god damn). ALL GOOD. I wouldn’t have missed hanging out with you guys for that.
Yang!

Okay, I am tired. I wish I can do more, but sorry, maybe tomorrow. I’ll take a picture of the bracket soon.
good tourney/arcade. only suggestion would be to expand denjin arcade somehow so we can have some room to breath, walk, scratch our balls, etc. maybe if denjin makes a nice profit in the future they could buy out spaces next door or move to a bigger facility?
and LOL @ firefighters coming to play street fighter.
Did anyone get any footage of the finals or other matches for HD remix?
james played ryu and i played sagat
side note: thats the best fucking team name ever.
Team SF had Kieran playing Balrog, not A_Rival playing ?.. A Rival couldnt make it.
Thanks, Yi.
ok, its wednesday and I think I’m kinda recovered enough to give my thoughts. I was extremely sick the entire tourney(I hid it well and was drugged up), so my apologies to any of my homies that thought I was acting a little strange at times.
I had a fun time tho. Denjin is a coo place! ARCADE 4 LIFE! It’s just great seeing a lot of old faces in one place. I Really wish I coulda stayed to play in the tourneys on sunday, but the tourneys were starting way too late and taking too long =(
I just wanna say tho, HD remix tourney was the suck =( I dunno, maybe cuz I was really sick and out of it, or the game just didnt feel right to me at all. The game wouldn’t even let me do rapid fire weak attacks, which is extremely odd. This was the main tourney i was looking forward to, and I was really bummed by how “odd” it was. =( I pretty much quit after the 1st game.
SF4 was a good learning experience. We don’t get much comp or quality matchup experience out in AZ due to sf4 costing us 1.50 to play(it’s brutal). I definitely learned a lot. But what I learned the most, is that balrog is a celebrity in socal. I cant believe the number of rogs out there, its nuts!
ill see if i can get some shoutouts before i pass out
Yi: sorry to disappoint you about me jumping the 3s ship to play sf4 and HD =( You are still the homie, and good shit on the whole event! I may not be playing 3s anymore, but I still got respect!
Luka: Nice to meet you, and good stuff on helping with the event. Too bad no a3 tourney =(
mr. Valle: always a pleasure
Laugh: I will get my revenge!!! You found my kryptonite (o.sagat)! =( Awesome to see you again buddy!
EDMA: Teach me some sf4 bullshittery and I will teach you the ways of HD, my friend!!! <3
Dime_x: nice to finally meet you man!!! thanks for introducing!
Sanchez/Bebop: Your hype is off the charts!
Sweet JohnnyV: I’m just letting you know that I won!!! <3 good meeting you finally. u r a chill dude
Shoo: Nice to finally meet you. Thanks for the a3 props!!!
Dentron: Nice to meet you as well sir =)
Tyram: Nice to meet you in person. Good luck with the guile matchup. Sorry if I didnt talk much, been drugged up and sick =(
SHOGO: I love your place, It’s nice and simple. Also, those smucker pb&j sandwiches are god tier!!! I hope your business made a crapton of profit, you deserved it!
JAHA: you always the homie!!! always good to see you
Viscant: Good to see you as always. Cards in the SB?!?!?! who woulda thought? woulda been super crazy if it was az vs sd=/
Afrolegends: even on the shitty hd setup, you are still god status with deejay.
Cesar: good shit on running st 3on3 and dealing with the constant waiting on me and my team due to the other games. I felt bad about all that. I really appreciate it!
Gamertron: nice to finally meet you!
Gootecks: your balrog is too nice sir. I don’t like getting beatdown in tourneys in such a convincing fashion!!! I promise, that wont happen again!!! Definitely an embarrassing wakeup call!
Victor and sebastian: <3 you guys for life. I’m glad you guys came out like it was old times. Having a blast playing a3 and xsf and just joking it up, like the old days!
The entire AZ crew: I cant remember the last time i seen so many az people under the same roof, in an out of state tourney that isnt evo. Either way, I am most impressed!!!
tushar: wtf man, bb doesnt seem to get love at denjin, where is the comp at?
james chen and derek daniels: I was amazed to see the dynamic duo!!! Even tho I knew you both questioned why you were there, I’m glad you guys came out. It’s always good to see you guys!!! Even if it wasn’t for too long
Rob Ingram: CARDS!!! =)
W3s: Once again I fail you with no Jad =/
Dash/devilX: good to see you guys again. Didnt see you guys too often, but good shit regardless.
Papa Watson: I know you are retired, but I’m glad you came out. We didnt get many words in since you were in and out pretty quick, but it was really good to see you!
Sorry if im forgetting anyone, drugged up and sick isnt helping much. need sleep.
take care
