Cheers:

Larry for holding such a fantastic event. Georgia wouldn’t be shit without you, man!

Atlanta for repping really hard.

Eddie - Good shit man, it was a blast watching you play as always. Don’t let your losses get to you, you’re better than you know. I know for a fact that next time you play Noel you’ll make him look FRAAAAAAAAY. :stuck_out_tongue:

Jon- Awesome on doing so well in SF4 man! All your matches had me holding my breath, and I can never believe how solid you are! All your matches were beast, dude! Stay patient homie.

Ricky- Man, what can I say that hasn’t been said. I don’t know shit about Tekken but your matches had me hype as fuck. Way to rep ATL so HARD! You guys need to teach me this Tekken shit.

Big Boy- For someone who never plays SF4 you are extra solid, man. Thanks for constantly having me in stitches and getting shit mad hype.

Richard - Keep playin SF4 man, I’m looking forward to seeing you metsu shoryu people in the CHIN.

Nato - You’re my boy, Nato, and I was so stoked to see how well you did man! You’re always extra serious competition to everyone, so keep that shit up. Lets visit NC and NY together man, you can get on a whole new level! And good
shit on ST and HDR. ST and 3S for life!

Dru- Congrats on such a good showing man. Your honda is fantastic, and its a blast watching you play. We need to get in some games sometime!

Kiyo- It was great seeing you, as always. I didn’t get to see you play, but lets get some games in!

Wanton and Spooky- Great times, guys! Team BFF for life! Thanks again for the stickers, man. Great to meet you, Spooky. Keep up that Rufus and Gouken, guys!

JasonL- Good seeing you again, man! Solid Ken and Zangief, as always. Good shit on the hotel room stories, too! lol.

Drew- Hey man, it was great to meet you and talk about Alpha, Melty, TvC, etc. Lets definitely get together sometime so you can train me up in some of those games!

Raph - Man you are insane. I’d never watched you play ST before and you make Zangief look god-tier. Your match vs Rashan’s Seth was the hypest I got all weekend, I think. I think I blew a vocal chord. Great shit dude! :tup:
ExcitedBeast- Good shit man! Stay hype forever, and keep Noel’s money in yo pocket! Haha great seeing you man.

Desu- Great shit at BB, man! Top 8 Tager!?!? You make me proud, my man!!!

Kajoq- You need to come down more, man! You always bring a good time with you, haha!

Seb, Damdai, Grancalc, Rico, Noel, Rashan - Hey it was great meeting you guys. Hope you guys had a great time! Its a blast watching yall play. I’m going to try to get some people together to come up there sometime so we can level up!

Knuckledust, FranktheTank- Great meeting you guys. I told yall I love 3S and I mean it, I’m going to try and get a little road trip up there with my buddies so we can train. I was the Oro player guy. :] Good shit in 3s!

Iceman for wearing such a fly ass suit.

Dogysamich for being gdlk.

Marn for being cool when we played second round.

Jeers:

Never once having a big gathering going out to eat. I was really looking forward to after-tournament hangouts and such, what with all the tofu house stories. :tear:

Hearing that the stream was pretty low quality.

Skisonic handling the microphone.

People rooting against Justin like it’s something to do. Haha. That man is too good.

Shoutouts to The Realyst for getting extra mad about some random hype shittalk. It was funny as hell, but I do really like your Blanka. :tup:

I had a fantastic weekend, and it’s really sparked my drive to get better at SF4. I need to level up like nobody’s business, and I want to travel and get into some other games really badly, like A3, Melty, Blazblue (again), TvC, and to level up at 3S. FINAL ROUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUND!

22

shout outs to Cubia. Too bad we didn’t get to play the mirror. So much stuff going on. And yeah, pretty bad weekend for me, considering my lousy performance in the tournament. But at least I pretty much had Marn’s Viper beat in casauls until I got random ulra’d (WTF).

Shout out to Taz. You probably have some of the craziest shit I’ve ever seen in Marvel.

Shout out to most of the Guile players. Too bad I didn’t get to play 1 single Guile mirror in SFIV. Though I killed the Guile mirror for the most part in HD Remix, which is a game I don’t really know how to play.

Good shit to the ST casuals and Nato, Damdai, Raph, and others. You guys remind me just how I’m not good at all in ST, but as you can see Nato, I’m playing that impossible 7-3 Guile vs Vega matchup much better than I was last year.

Overall fun environment, but I could have done way better. But I had a bracket of death, I don’t think anyone sucked in my bracket at all.

23

shout out to everybody i got a chance to meet in person and get some games in.
Big shout out to the Augusta crew holding it out. Had a great time chillin’ with you guys.

24

Yo final round was mad hype, thx to everyone involved in running it. shout outs to Tiggy, maverick and the rest of the ohio crew for sat night you guys are mad chill, all the arcade board players that tore that shit up in alpha2-3, vampire savior, and super turbo. props to kurasa for getting 3rd and teaching me a bit about TvC doronjo. props to the HDR peeps who i played sorry i dont remember names, just that nato beat me in top 8, good shit with annoying ass vega lol. got to meet justin and marn for the first time, those cats are really chill. marn is halirious and thx for the short games. tekken was the most hype shit i seen all weekend and those guys deserve the hype they were getting. Good shit the whole weekend will definatley be back to the next one.

25

Hype! Fun! Over too quick!!
I’m hella tired, I might do detailed shoutouts later, but it was good to meet new people and see old familiar faces. Larry, good seeing you again and thanks for running yet another great event

Now that I have had a good nights sleep, I finally made it to my computer and im no longer posting from my phone I can post my shouts.

First off BIG shouts to all the FR staff for making my first FR experience memorable. Ive been to tournaments before, but NOTHING like this EVER.

Larry & Scott: You guys are consumate professionals and although initially somewhat intimidated by your mystique, youre both REALLY chill guys. Thanks for making me feel welcome and definitely expect to see me again.

Mel: Yes you get your own shout-out. First off nice pedi color lol Yes its me, the liquor mixer. I do apologize for running out of pineapple juice in those drinks, I can tell you firsthand how strong they were. You probably think I was poisoning you lol…which brings me to my next “shout”

props to the staff of the Holiday Inn and in particular BIG props to the lobby bathroom floor for catching me Sunday morning after my suicide binge Saturday.

Shout out to ALL of my NC brothers & sister who attended. In particular those who made my drive entertaining. Roski, Phil, Q, Blake, Ed. Then all of us that were there supporting one another. We all officially came in full force despite what people think of us. I look forward to our future travels. Just tell me where we are going and im ready to go.

Props to all the personalities in the community who are no longer just srk handles that I finally met.

O.

I guess it’s time to do some shoutouts…

Shoutout to Rico Suave for motivating me to learn that matchup and declare war on all Abel players. Good shit and nice to meet you man.

Shoutout to Truehood for verbally pimp slapping white girls lolol. Too bad we didn’t get a chance to play, T6 took over after a while lol.

Shoutout to everyone who didn’t laugh when I picked Rose in my match for top 8 and those who complemented me for my play that weekend. Means alot.
