chaos or chris hu imho

82

:wasted:Based on what I saw. Dr Chaos>Sanford.

Just ask Marn, Joe and Arturo who they want they were there. If freakin Chaos can beat Sagat w/ Ken he obviously gets my vote. Shit I can’t go to Evo or else I would want that spot because 5 v 5 w no Rog is sad :(. But the Dr can heal those wounds

83

LMAO… so true

And I agree with moose and everyone else who voted for chaos. He’s been the most consistent player with ken to dominate and clearly the best ken on the EC. His results and skill speak for themselves. Personally, if I didn’t end up losing my match right before the 5 v 5 qualifiers ended and I was still in it with those 6 guys in the list, then I would give up my spot to chaos. Yea, no rog in the team is different I’ll admit, but maybe that’s the change up we need since everyone is getting used to fighting rog way better now. It’s up to Justin in the end to be honest, but at this point I think him, marn, joe and art should just go on a team vote if anything.

keep it crispy killa

Good tournament: shit was hype.

first off to SJC: sorry if I was being an ass, but us tournament organizers have loud mouths. It’s good to have a plan, and everything all sectioned off, but it’s best to roll with the punches and let the hype matches be hype. A learning experience, for sure, and you lasted a long time before going off on someone.

to the internet: doing the stream was fun, look for it in the future.

About the tournament in general: just needed to have more setups and less 5v5 distraction. That tournament needed a cap and a nomination process.

Oh, as far as 5v5, I vote for Damdai. Gief is a great character to have in a 5v5 tournament. He hard counters important characters (C.Viper, Abel, Rufus) Does really well against other popular characters (Boxer, Dictator), and flat out loses to some. Plus consider that that the West Coast teams both have Balrogs but no Sagats.

Damdai and Smoothviper are still left in the tournament, but I feel Damdai’s patient style coupled with a better knowledge of matchups would make for a far scarier gief. Smoothviper seemed to rely on blind agression and Gief day 1 gimmicks.

I wouldn’t complain about Chaos on the team either. It’d be great to have a non NY player on it as well.

86

forgot the link silly me

more vids will be put up…ill need help with some of the names

87

If i would vote it would have to be Doctor Chaos or Min.

Chaos for beating nestor and gootecks.

Min because he is the best Dictator on the EC and you guys need another solid character.

just my two cents.

88

it was good seeing everyone, even though i wasn’t around for the whole weekend.
first off, congrats to john and joe for a successful event.
things were definitely rocky, but the bottom line is that the main tournaments actually finished and many people had fun.
sunday was horrendous for me (mostly for personal reasons), but the finals definitely made my day.
i’ll post vids in a timely phi manner (read: weeks/months/years late), depending permission

glad you enjoyed sinsation <3
however, it’s definitely not the state. there are a lot of quality tournaments all over the east coast.
unfortunately, there’s only so much bandwidth in the lives of the more established organizers.
props to john and joe for stepping up and taking the initiative.

that said, i have a bit of constructive criticism i will discuss with john to help improve.
learning from our and others’ mistakes is what makes us better.
myself, todd, eric, henry, robin, phil, and any organizer east/west/north/south/midwest/etc can attest.

for the the last qualifier, just pick the strongest player with an unused character who’s consistent enough against higher level players/characters.
either that or just hold an invitational qualifier and pit the invites against the team, as well as other consistent players. like cf gauntlet style :wink:

the people who are left in the other qual can be auto-invites.
it’s justin’s choice regardless. he didn’t have to have any qualifiers. he just wanted to try to give people chances, even though things have been a bit chaotic.
remember… there’s still more than 2 months to evo. so there’s time to even make something fun out of it besides just a debate.

I agree Dr Chaos/Min/Chris hu should have the 5th spot im even willing to GIVE Dr chaos my spot and use OUR char Ken to finish off.

90

Chaos, Paul, Or Min for 5v5

Id like to see Paul’s Gouki go at it tho

91

I vote for chaos on the final spot as well, he just knows his character so well, even if he isn’t that strong.

Props to marn for taking it, and good shit to everyone who did well.

Also I have alot of respect for justin giving everyone a chance to join the team, even if it turned out to be the same team he wanted. I am totally down for him choosing the final spot.

92

chaos ken vs edma ken would be nice to see :tup:

the doctor is NAASTYY…he gets my vote

93

Akuma has no bad matchups and does well vs alot of characters not to mention sagat and gief(from matchup view). Im from mars though and cant be on the team (also i need to learn a few more matches). :smokin: I think Justin should just pick the last guy cause if he puts choas or kells or whoever and that player loses at some tourny b4 evo he just gonna get kicked out. So note to last player STAY HOME! lol You guys should start out with joe cause sagat dont lose to anyone. No good sagats on the WC thats why they think rog is so good.

SHout outs to everyone at the tourny you all know who u r (if i talked to u i respect u). I love the EC i dont know if the wc is ready we will see come evo.

On a side note the tourny was hype due to the calibur of talent but it was run poorly. DQing DSP in a game he will p place in is dumb im sure it would not have happened if it was art or someone else. Also comming off at the mouth cause your mad to the players that showed to your event (supporting u guys) is bad just to apologize after. 1 of my friends was thrown out of the tourny for no reason and he is a solid player, thats pretty bad explain that one, i had everyone around me complaining and I hate that shit so ill stop now and say atleast we have another EC major to step our games up.

94

Wall you’s a beast. I say Min, Wall, or Chaos play for the spot.

Team Trap all day, sorry I wasn’t there to beast I’ll bring that fire to ECT on the non lag tv’s. Good shit to Joe for getting this started, for a #1 the hype was amazing. I was on vacation watching the live feed as if it was the world series, always with a beer in hand. Thanks for the players for putting on a real show and everyone else showing that passion for games. STREET FIGHTER 4 IS THAT NEW MARVEL!!! East coast LETS GO!!!

95

ok ill pick the last guy

the last guy will be…

idk. ill let everyone know when I know

thanks for supporting ECT, see everyone at the next big tourney!!!

96

Dr. Chaos gets my vote, his Ken is soo dirty!

97

At this point, it would be fucked up to not give Dr. Chaos the spot. I’m jusssst sayingggggg. Since most of the choices were based on performance…I think it should follow suit…

98

sanford, how many double snaps u get hit by?

99

Ok first things first I beat lincoln in quals so I am part the 6 people. Also I don’t think thiis matters since justin will pick now. Whatever will make a better post later.

Now that I’ve gotten enough rest, I can give some shouts:

NYC Crew: All you guys bought your A game this past weekend. I’ve got some serious catching up to do.

LI people: Good to meet you SJC, Lex, Ryan(I think that was his name; we played in losers), and everyone else. There were 2-3 young ladies I met who’s names totally escape me, so I apologize:sad: Hope to see you guys @ more tournies and crack sessions. Joe, you’re awesome and GS on showing ppl why you deserve that spot for the 5on5. And GL on that date you won:wink:

CT peeps: Min, Phil, Tony…great seeing you guys again. Congrats again on your engagement, Tony!

Team Hate: Always great seeing you guysl; sorry that I won’t be able to make it up there for the bar tourney this weekend; I’ll definitely try for the next one.

Eric: Thanks for that screwdriver, man. My allergy-cold was owning me up horde and that helped clear it up for a while.

Phi: Always good to see you, bro.

Gootecks and Mike Ross: Great to meet you guys. Thanks for letting me crash in the room Saturday night. See you two @ Evo.

Julian, Bryheem, Jeron, Remedy, Marn, etc etc…good seeing everyone pretty much

Special TY to Skisonic for getting me to the Morristown station so I wouldn’t be stuck in Jersey Sunday night. Can’t wait for the vids since I had to leave after Joe and Gootecks’ match.

See everyone @ the next one!!!
