Family Fun Arcade: SBO Quals/Evo West 7/19 - 7/20

yo, good shit to everyone over the weekend. SBO 3s was pretty epic! drama and all! congrats to pyro/ken i/kai. Massive shoutout to amir/emphy/5star for putting up an epic battle of mass proportions! I wish I could have stuck around for 3s and ST on sunday, but the drive back to AZ is a killer. I didn’t do as well as I wanted in 3s SBO. I was suprised I was able to take out Emphy in our first round match. But then amir cleans it up and my team. Then 2nd game, emphy just murdered us all =/

And wtf, ST was ran on that last cabinet? If so, that was weak! Those sticks were so chewed up, i struggled moving my cursor left and right on the select screen. That’s a real shame that it didnt get no love with the tournament cabinets cuz i thought those worked nice.

I gotta admit, especially after this weekend(granted i been to ffa a few times in the past), I come to the realization that split cabinets are fucking weak! It is WAY too much of a chore to figure out rotation or even guessing the correct side to wait on, for the shortest wait. It’s so weak when you are on the cabinet that has a guy runnign a streak. You give up waiting then walk over to the other side, to find out now that side is winning, and you just lost your place in rotation and have to wait longer. I dunno how japan can possibly deal with that headache. after sbo was done, I exclusively only played on the 2 tourney setups since they were next to eachother instead of back to back. It’s just so much easier to deal with, while there is still space/privacy. maybe ffa will wisen up and eventually put cabs side by side to make it easier for people waiting to play.

Dam, I missed out on entering also.

Shout outs to all the out of towners I saw. Nor Cal Crew still CRAZY and getting even CRAZIER!! bakersfield coming out representing also. This weekend was HYPE.

Lots and lots of money matches went down and was tight. Still want to money match cable guy, didn’t get a chance for highest cable battle.

Where the heck was XMvSF?! Tourney postponed to next week due to BROKENESS!

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

da truth

Soo vs Justin just for the record: Arlieth fixed the left showcase cab before this match went down.

Soo started on 1p went up 3-0 lost game 4, takes game 5,6 and switches to 2p. Soos up 5-1

J wins 6 straight on 1p, Justin takes lead 7-5

Soo wins game 13 as 2p returns to 1p and takes game 14, J wins game 15, J holds at 8-7

Soo takes game 16 deadlockin at 8 then J seals 17,18(which was a classic). Final 10-8

Soo wins 7 as 1p and takes one as 2p while J takes 4wins as 2p.

Overall it was a battle with no huge disadvantage for either player.

in further news resulting in Fanatiq vs Justin FT5 Msp mirror on the same cab:

Justin starts as 1p gets mauled 2-0 then takes 5 sraight. They run back with real teams Matrix/Msp which results in 3-2. Fanatiq played 2p side entire time.

Nigga is nice on cab so all that OBD hate can come to a screaching hault. I would love to come back to cali with the EC and see the best play him on cab with good sticks.

oh shit i stand corrected :stuck_out_tongue:

this was probably one of the best tournaments ive been to ever. Good to finally meet sabre and abe from AZ, you guys are dope. We got to chill at evo.

and once again major props to jimmy, yi, amir, ken, pyro, and kai for producing some of the most exciting 3s matches ive ever seen in my life.

GG
