Awesome tournament. I really enjoyed myself. I wish I could have stayed for the rest but some of my guys and I had work and school to attend. Got home at 4, went to sleep at about 4:30 and then had to wake up at 7 to get ready for class. Fun times indeed.
Everything before I left was godlike.
Andy, you should’ve been there to copy/paste those Michael Ross tactics:cool:
Motto for this tourney: Believe in your characters![/Sabin]
Obviously my memory is going as I grow older… I cannot remember who to thank for the stream, but THANK YOU. I had been spoiled with quake tournaments having live feeds as the norm, and really being in the dark on sf tournies until the day after. This was huge! This really is a must for big events like this. Is it possible to do direct feed streaming? If so, evo really needs to get this going.
First I will have to thank sweet johnny cage for all his work. I was trying my best to help run the tournaments as well as take down registration and all that stuff. John was very understanding of me also playing in 2 very important tournys. But he certainly did all the hard work. It wasnt easy to split my time between playing and running things but we got it done. Thanks john, much love brotha.
There are way to many people to thank but im going to give it a shot. First the NY crew. You guys always have so much confidence in me. I really appreciate it. Probably wouldn’t be able to do as well as I did without the support. It was cool to see chris hu (cf ryu) and andy come out to a major like this. Thanks guys
The VA crew. Sure it was a pretty sick drive but you guys made it. Thanks eric V for setting all that up and hyping this event. Good shit to my homeboy aleri. We got to play. Even though it was tourny match hahaha we still got to play. Perfect sin, thanks for every single thing as always dude, especially WHITE CASTLE!
CT - nestor paul. always a pleasure playing with you guys. We had great matches with eachother, Nestors sagat is to on point and walls akuma was OD. Always much respect to you guys. Thanks for the support
Cali in da house - Mr. ross and gootecks. You guys had the longest trip of em all haha. Thanks for taking the time to come out and play. It really would not of been as hype without you guys there. Gootecks was feeling himself VS arturo hardbody haha. I hope someone has that on camera! You guys are always a pleasure to have around thanks
My LI friends - lex, carlos, ryan, mary evon and kim. You guys helped john and I out a whole lot this weekend. You guys always have that confidence in me too. thanks for everything.
Justin - gott athank him for holding the evo spots here. Why to hype. Your the man as always.
Good shit on the stream renegade! Hizzzyyype
Really wish andy was there but he is a real man and has shit to do hahaha. Thanks to everyone that came out, everyone that helped out, everyone that supported John and I through out this. Ill see you guys at ECT2 (the runback) in Novemeber! stay solid!
Good shit to those who won. Congrats to Marn, LI Joe, Gootecks (being clutchtecks with that Balrog), Mike Ross (repping that Honda!), Arturo, etc. for delivering the hype that is called East Coast Throwdown. Props to those who did the stream and to Bunkei for the radio. It was even entertaining just being in #ect and seeing everyone’s reactions. I wish Hawaii’s scene was big as the East Coast or West Coast. Just seeing these types of tournaments inspires and hypes me to try and get better.
EVO is going to be too hype. I wish I could be there. Hell I just might go just to experience EVO itself.
nah man… you needed to demon that shit on the spot with no hesitation… :looney: maybe I’m whilling… but how ill would it have been to finish that match with a demon!
