if you just look at the track record you have to include LPN. if you cant win a tournament i dont see how you should be considered for the team or have not placed in the top 3.
i definitely think LPN and/or A_rival come up as good players for the 5on5. (i think LPN won the very first fuddruckers and has placed pretty high for other tournies, but i wouldn’t say just winning the first fuddruckers is gaurantee that he should be on)
i believe magus got 4th at the last fuddruckers (and the top 3 were choi/ricky/crack), his viper is very strong on the offensive. and i seen him just wreck players in tournies
filipino champ i think got 7th, but he looks fairly reliable against sagat players. he can hold his own against cole’s rog. not to mention being mike ross last devestation(i think)
all 4 are really great players for the 5on5 with all around the same credentials, but i choose magus and filipino champ instead due to their characters.
LPN uses rog/bison/ken and A_rival uses chun. and we have crack/ricky/ and choi(if choi is cool with joining the team). so adding a Cviper and dhalsim on the team would definitely add a nice variety for matchup purposes as well as difficulty for some players who never played against viper/dhalsims of that level before.
John Choi for 3rd spot FOR SURE. 4th and 5th spot should totally go to two of these guys:
Magus1234
Pinoy Champ
LPN
Kaizer
Choi announced that I was on the 5v5! Thanks for everyone’s kind words, now we just gotta fuck em up!
5 spot? rival/haunts/kaizer/ryan/lpn
Good shit MAGUS. After watching your Viper last night, I must say, I’m a big fan now.
Good luck to everyone as well that still not on the team that are hoping to be in it.
The last spot is a tough one. No bias at all, but it is a split between the said names: Rival/Haunts/Kaizer/Ryan/LPN.
This is where the bias comes in. LPN.
ROUND.
ROBIN.
TOURNEY.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOh.
EDIT: Wreck 'em a new one, Andry!
Auuuuuggh. That is an extremely tough fifth pick. Considering match-ups, I would go with Haunts. Not only so that there’s an extremely solid Sagat on the team, but because the boy is hungry
Or this. Fifth spot cage match?
Congrats, I didn’t see any of your matches yesterday but I seen the matches from SBO quals and she was vicious.
Andry is the official 3rd member of the team. Andry has performed well in last few tourneys and Viper is a new character that not many players are accustomed to fighting. So adding a competent Viper makes for a great asset to our team.
So far the members and characters are:
Ricky Ortiz - Rufus
Crackfiend - Boxer
Magus1234 - C. Viper
i like how choi still hasn’t put himself on the team and yet no one cares and we all consider him already on the team. even if choi said “oh i’m not gonna be on the team”, everyone is still going to list him on the team. there’s no way around it!
honestly, how does the 5on5 work. cuz another deciding factor would be whether or not the players can use different characters when they face new teams.
we wouldn’t really need another sagat on the team due to choi
we wouldn’t need another chun due to ricky
if that’s the case,it leave us with Filipino champ and lpn. and my bias is flipino champ. i think dhalsim is just too good of a character to pass up.
but if the character selection has to be set in stone BEFORE the 5on5 tourney starts. a sagat player would be really nice too. i havent’ seen haunts play, but judging by who he’s taken out, haunts would be my choice, even tho kaizer has placed very well in the last two fuddruckers.
on a side note, this is where everyone should be contributing their thoughts! i dont’ think tourney results after this fuddrucker is really going to matter anymore. and we are still looking for the 5th. it seems pretty much the 5th spot might go to popularity vote since our candidates are ALL equally very skilled and all done well in tournies.
Good fucking shit man! I’m very happy you’re rep’ing the Bay in this. I wish I had stuck around to watch your matches, but I was mentally beat up from my shitty performance and physically fucked up from the heat.
I keep hearing about FilipinoChamp…was he the dude coaching the Rog in that E.Honda match?
Good shit Senior 1234, now you just gotta work on your shit talking game before EVO
The team tournament rules state you have to announce your character before hand and you can not switch. Everyone must stick with their character for the entire team tournament. Also, no duplicate characters are allowed on 1 team.
Imo i think filipino champ should be in the 5v5 norcal team. He got really close to beating ricky’s rufus and cole’s boxer.
Goodwork Magus and if the champ is named on the 5… Lumpia for everybody!
I would like to see Champ on the team so he can go “WHAT NOWWWW!!!” and “LETS GOOOOO” in the face of the socal guys :tup: :tup:
Oh, and his Sim isn’t bad either :lol:
Good shit Andry!
i would like to congrats Magus1234/Andry for making to the team. Your performing were great at fuddruckers and i was totally hype cheering you on man. I didn’t do very well but grats to those that are gonna place in the team later.
Have a round robin 4 last spot ?
All in all i have to say LPN has did his thang consistently so how does Andry gets a spot over him all respect to Andry thats my boy shit i like andry better than LPN as a person but LPN should be there no question according to what we agreed to on the first page.
Haunts/Kaiser hell fuckin no
A-Rival maybe
Ryan is my boy he is the people’s champ he did good this tourney and at Devastation if the last spot can be a Vote Ill give it to him. He was on FIRE LAST NIGHT matter of fact that was the reason it was so HOT it was because of FILIPINOCHAMP had that FIYAPOWA:lovin:
