Man fr xii was crazy this year. It’s grown so much since in the last few years it is amazing. Like colin said, a big difference from the community center. I’m really glad I made it back out after a 2 or 3 year absence. Giant ups to the coordinators and organizers of the tournament, things actually were pretty smooth. I’d like to know if any of the top 8 or even top 16 of sf4 only had the game for a month. Of course NY, Cali, and houston repped when they have a huge advantage in experience. I give big props to anyone who placed well without access to an arcade cabinet.
PS
Someone absolutely must post the video of Kensou vs. Liston. (assuming its ok with larry of course) Also did anyone tape the arm wrestling match?
You forgot THE BRANTEN! It’s hard try to find that nigga during the tournament, but he wears his stunners shade at night like me, so you know he’s cool with me. Thanks to the “D” for showing love for a brother in the “A”.
You know some people like to see their names on a pre-reg list. I tried to give people plenty of time by posting thyis thread 10 months before the event, but without paypal pre-reg those random sometimes.:wonder: I think that it’s a sign to move on to the new games!
YES he is in fighting games and as a person!
Post that shit already sir. Anything you have for fr11 you can post. Like havoc said. “That shit is a year old and that game is DEAD!” I will be making a fr12 dvd soon. I had a professional crew record it and i’m going to give them the rest of the footage that I dumped on my laptop today! I’m not sitting around this year. The ball is rolling and I ain’t got no job, so I need that dvd money shawty!
JIBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOO!!! aye, aye, ayeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for the win shawty!!!
bust?:rolleyes: Never that sir!:arazz:
CvS2 is pretty much dead man walking the green mile of tournament games shawty! :sleep: So is T5dr. Both of those games have run their course and I doubt they will make it past the summer for majors this year! RIP T5dr and cvs2!
See man that wasn’t called for imo. To me it’s not about snk or capcom or namco. He doesn’t have to pray for kof12 to be a hit at FR because the snk community supports FR, so I support them period! There will always be some kind of snk game at FR. I can’t speak for other tournaments and I won’t. It shouldn’t even be about that imo. We are all apart of the same community! SnK-playmore, capcom, namco, midway, tecmo, arch/sammy, SMASH (yes I said smash also), and any other fighting game player are all in the same family imo. We all enjoy playing fighting games. We have different taste what games we like to play, but we all have the same hobby. Compared to the Madden or FPS tournament communities we are very very small, so that type of comment about sNk is really uncalled for IMO.:annoy:
Yea pretty random down here sir.:rolleyes: You don’t randomly get 243 people in any tournament. :looney:
don’t worry about that DG! Thanks for the help at FR12. I wanted you to just relax for a change at a tournament, but you step up and helped Jdash run the snk tournaments. I’ll pm you my adress so I can get that footage asap!
Thanks for having my back hommie!:wgrin:
Well scott popular lives in japan and he told me that Japanese players KNOW about Final Round! It’s just none have come to FR due to not having the cash. It cost more to fly to the ATL from japan than it does to fly to cali or vegas from japan.
No you are wrong sir. Those #'s just showed that T5dr is fucking DEAD MAN WALKING! Everyone is ready to move on to t6 or t6br.
well said sir.
my dude marn got my back.:wonder: GS in everything you played at FR and thanks for coming out and supporting FR. You finally got your PIMPCUP shawty!!! I was happy for you sir.
Well when you use the words RANDOM towards FR12 people are going to jump on you. It’s ok and I understand where you was coming from since you really didn’t know about Final Round yourself. I get that a lot and I understand that some of the community doesn’t really know about Final Round. All that means is I have to work harder with putting FR on the global map of the fighting game community!:wonder::wgrin:
Thanks big E! Coming from another major organizer like yourself means a lot to a brotha like me. We got to stick together yo! I’m sick right now and i’m still tired from this weekend.
That was fighting game history right there! I told kevin that his match would never be forgotten in the history of the sf4 tournament scene! NEVER GIVE UP!!! Oh yea, kevin has the best viper in the usa and it ain’t even close from the vid’s i’ve seen online and what I saw from kevin this weekend. Good shit yo.
roninchaos: haha you shouldve read my post more closely. I gave you ALL props for running that beast of a tournament. I thought yall did a great job. You said you DQd 2 on saturday…yet justin came in at 1am (after the tourney was finished for the day) and played a match. thats all im saying.
as for the tv lag, i know i heard some people say it. I just switched to the other tvs. I wasnt really blaming yall for that. And i cant blame you if no one told you.
i tried to say it in my last post…i thought the tourney was great and yall did a great job. i was just giving yall some stuff to fix for next year…tryin to help man
honestly, shinblanka, roninchaos, and teh other 2 homeboys running sfiv with you…yall all did a sick job. I wouldve been drop-kickin dudes in the throat if i had to run that tourney.
btw, i only “almost a major” cause i had never heard it officially called a major. But 250 PEOPLE…thats a fkn major!!! haha
good stuff…and i will definitely hit it up next year
Great tournament, ShinBlanka. You can expect me to be there next for FRXIII. I also want to give props to those running the SFIV brackets. To have that type of patience for 243 people is godlike.
Dude, first off yeah Justin came late, but he let people know in advance his situation. It’s not like he was at the tourney and just walked out without letting people know where he was when he was called like the people that were DQ’d. That’s usually the grounds for DQ at any major. You really should not say FR isn’t a major when you don’t even understand the rules of major tournaments. FR has been a major for years, has had more numbers than other majors too.
Yes they were beasting on everyone on my white cab. Thanks to those guys for coming out and showing why normal ST can’t be replaced by HD remix! Just like I said at the tournament. "HD remix is like you meeting a fine women and when she talk she smell’s like fish and dodo".
Yes akuma is broken in hd remix, but when damdai goes 1st and kills every team with akuma at EVO2k9 he will be banned soon after.:looney:
Naw I though Jason wilson would use akuma since he is the captain of the SE team and he’s our best player so he should be the akuma user imo. RIC has to use M.Bison and Ernesto has to use vega at EVO.
FUCK YO PERFECT NIGGA!:looney:
Yea you had to be that tall to play sf4.
No puzzle fighter damn
Thanks for coming out and thanks for the advise. We are not perfect and we strive to get better at our craft. I didn’t see anything disrespectful on what you said. We will learn from our mistakes adn try to make fr13 even better than this years event.
I missed the match with liston and kensou. I want to see it so someone please put that shit up so I can see it. I was ripping and running around so much that I missed it dog. Thanks for coming back out to fr sir. I have to look for an armwresting table for fr13.
Well i’m glad you will give us another chance. See you next year yo!
I’ll post shout-outs later today in the proper thread, but Larry, you are the man. FR12 was amazing.
And your dad is the pimpest man I’ve ever seen. Let me know next time he plays somewhere.
Final Round 12= Off the chain! Best FR to date imo!
I didnt see the Alpha 3 results but I remember Top 3
A3
1st. James Baltimore Chun Page (A-ChunLi)
1st. Jeron (V-Vega/A-Chun)
3rd. ??? (V-Zangief)
ST was tough as usual and all of the matches final 8 were top notch. GG’s to everyone! SF 4 set the tone for hypest finals at FR! Im still recovering from what I deemed **worst Greyhound experience ever ** I’ll post up later shoutouts, thoughts etc. later.
Larry and staff do it up once again bigger and better every year and Im not surprised!
If anybody found a gray fleece Columbia jacket, that’s mine, it’s got my keys and badge in it. I thought I had left it in a friend’s room on the 4th floor, but housekeeping hadn’t seen it nor the front desk.
thanks for the updates and results!
:rolleyes: Never that sir!:arazz:
