I had a great time. Shoutouts to all the people I met, sorry that I am terrible with names, ect.
Oh, and I fixed the HD remix brackets, replace them in the first post please, keits.
Shoutsd outs:
Everyone that bothered to try out the cab. I know eariler in the day that player 1’s jumping was acting up but thankfully it started working without any problems when we got that HDR line of players going for 8 straight hours. Also glad to see that no one complained about lag on the computer screen ^.^
Webster: sorry we couldn’t get more EX2+ in. We could have played the arcade version if you wanted but you really wanted that PSX version for some reason.
MightyMar: good to finally know which person you were lol. Hope to get together some time for some more games.
Humbag: sorry my speech impediment got on your nerves like that.
Keits: good seeing you again, sorry I couldn’t try out TvC. Took me 4 hours to get my cab back up and running (after waiting 3 hours for someone to lend me a soldering iron so I can quickly fix loose wire on the PCB), had it not been for that I would have like to have played it. Wondered how similiar it feels to EX3.
JoshDaFunk: Good seeing you again, too bad we couldn’t get any games in, but you’re busy with having entered every tournament so I can’t complain.
King Of Bums: ggs, though if you normally use a sanwa stick why would you be mashing the buttons and stick so hard? Thankfully I had that brace under the cab so it didn’t tip over when you got crazy on it. Also be glad that I didn’t put those P360 sticks in lol.
Kennywood: good seeing ya, I saw you have a different stick than last time, with a nice clear bottom on it lol. congrats on your chargers winning.
flexo: do you frequent any other forums cause I think I know you from another one. But ggs in HDR and good commentary. Too bad you missed the Ken s.fierce stuffing Honda’s super lol.
Slevin786: ggs, I’ll see about that stick, though as I said it’d be a month or so. So you may just wanna get that SF4 stick, or arcade-in-box stick or something similar if you need it right away (play I suck at art… well not drawing but design and stuff).
Again, thanks for breaking in the cab, hope to be able to bring it to the next one (most likely Acen will be the next place I bring it to).
If anything I feel the regular tvs felt slower for HDremix.
But whatever.
Wud Up Doe all my CHITOWN brothas!!! Good shit on a tourney run so smoothly…
Madbooface: its always a pleasure to see you good sir too bad we didnt get to play eachother in MVC2 but there are always other tourneys
Beats of Devil: those money matches were very fun and you should have picked MSP because when I see ironman on the screen I play ten times more safe then i normally do Good Games
Tony: good shit on those MMs aswell i think we broke even playing eachother GGs
Keits: very fun TVC tourney my brotha and it was very nice meeting you for the first time
Derek learn slow: great games my brotha my bad for slapping your hand so hard after you took me out the tourney i was just very dissappointed on my execution it was nothing against you but very GGs especially the morning before the tourney that shit was extra fun…YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Last but not least to all my true D-TOWN gamers VDO, JOHN, FLAPP, CHAD, and GREGO we really took this tourney by storm < cheap bitch…hwah hwah hwah hwah hwah) If I forgot anyone my bad and cant wait for another tourney like this one.
Fuck you haters, I don’t suck:bluu: I wish HD woulda been on PS3 so that I could’ve entered in it though.:sad:
Sinji - Good shit on that cabinet. It was probably the best thing at the tourney.:tup:
See y’all at FR
Yeah, I think in the future if its available, ill be demanding to play on a CRT, unles ive already been playing on LCDs and im used to it already. Live and learn, eh?
I guess I should do a shoutout post:
Aaron (AKA) : Hakumen. great to see you again dude, i hope alls going well with you.
Andrew#2(722) : We didn’t play, I wanted to pilebunker you to the wall.
Andy(Capps Indigo) : almost got me! I can’t scrub you with sol, I had to Slayer you, you’re getting better man!
Bozac(Elvenshadow) : Hey man great seeing you after such a long time, sorry I couldn’t stick around any longer and get blasted with you, I had to get going. 
maybe another time?
Chicago Guys : Man Prucha,Jesse,Everyone shit! Great to see you guys again
Chris(NappyJin) : good to see you didnt think youd make it!
David(Cue) : Where the hell were you the whole time I think I saw you like twice.
Dennis(UkyoTachibana) : Cry some more about how bad you are and place 8th, seriously. lol great seeing you again dude, but stop objectifying women!
Eric(Bob Washington) : COME GET SOME IN TVC, I CAN PLAY REAL CHARACTERS BESIDES MEGAMAN. Good seeing you as always sir.
James (Humbag) : I feel like without a legendary match between Raoh and his brother Toki, this tournament almost meant nothing.
Jerry(Nives) : Thanks so much for letting us crash at your place and showing us around, I loved the Korean BBQ place, and the desert place, I wish they had a Korea Town up here in Lame Bay, Wisconsin. If youre ever up here for some god awful reason youre welcome in my home. Oh yeah, STOP BLINDING THE SHIT OUT OF ME. (lol cops)
Keits (Adam) : I dont need to shout out to you fucking neighbor.
Klaige : I fuck ur shit up with scrubby sol good. but you fucked my slayer.

Neil (Sigmae) : Thanks for the BlazBlu that was mad fun!
Other MO guys : great playing with you all!
TvC People : Great games to all, im going to come back and fuck the shit out of Karas and his lowest health in the game bullshit! hopefully though by then you haven’t found a way to deal with Megaman :3
Sean(SH_) : Great to see you again my man! Hope life is good for you! Definately miss you and the old C-bus days. You still owe me like 500 spotted dinners.
Webster (Devildigimon) : how I fit you in the car still beyond me. Korean engineering. Once I get my PS2 stick and FUC and practice mode time, you’re going to get FUC’d next time by top tier Saber/Gilgamesh and promptly quit the game like I made you quit TvC.
Yosh(Orka) : Your fashion style has failed again, when we next meet I hope you’re better dressed, seriously who leaves the sticker still on their hat that they buy? what did you lose the mixup/mindgame to douchebaggery?
Anyone I missed: TOO BAD.
Thanks a lot Mike, Andy, Sigmae and everyone that helped organize the tourney and run the side games. This might be the most well-organized tournament I’ve ever been to 
aight full shouts:
Mike (ES) - awesome tournament man, I always love coming back to chi-town and hanging out. Thank you again for housing us, and good shit running the tournament smoothly.
Cue - awesome seeing you man, but don’t go back to Melee. that game’s trash :lol:
Yosh - good seeing you again, it’s always a pleasure. Thanks for the compliments on May, but you need to play something I do! come back to GG! 
Travis - you know how we do. Thanks for the hotel hookup Friday night. Tell the wife thanks for putting up with us
James - good shit running HD Remix; run smoothly too. And good casuals, hit me up on XBL sometime if you want to play
Mike (Flexo) - Thanks for the Heineken man, and good shit in HD. Let’s get some games in online or sumthin. Also good shit on commentary later in the night.
Dfly - Props in HD man; good good shit in both tourney and casuals
Cameron (NE) - good to see you out at a tourney man; I hope everything shakes out ok for you
Prucha - the real king of bums? I don’t know about that. You two will have to money match it
Dennis (Ukyo) - why is it that some retired guy comes to more tournaments than people who still play the game? :bgrin: You are always on-point in GG, and always great to see. keep repping.
Sean (SH) - good shit as always, but you guys are still bitches for going home early saturday night 
Eric - Bob Washington on the mic? Wow, that commentary was hella stupid :lol: good to see you man.
HD Remix guys - I caught a lot of names but have since forgotten them. Good shit to the people I played in casuals and the tourney (plenty of good games all around). Everybody else, you know it was good times, I’ve just forgotten.
I’m too lazy for a long list so I’m just gonna say good stuff to everyone I played in GG, and especially thanks to Prucha, Jesse, Sean, and Jerry for the late night games. I’ll come back with bigger combos and then we’ll see what’s up.
Special thanks go to Mike for running such an awesome tourney and putting us up for the trip, some of us are too broke for hotels and it was greatly appreciated. Also thanks to Neil for bringing out the BlazBlu. Man I can’t wait for that game.
Anyway good games everyone, hope I see you at the next one.
woo wee … here i go …
Jason (j1n) and heather: a lot of fun hanging out with you guys. it was a pleasure having you at my apartment. mainly because there was no mess and nothing was destroyed. heather’s crazy comments are always fun to hear. same with jason’s when he is drinking. you are all very welcome to come to my place when you are in town.
Adam (Keits) and Anna: a pleasure to hang out with. i am glad that you enjoyed all the “poop-looking” food. thanks for showing me stuff in TvC. the game was as much fun as it looked. anna, it was fun playing around in starcraft with you, and the hp tablet that you had was really cool. come visit again.
Webster (Devildigimon): one of the funniest guys to hang out with. good games in gg and 3s. i am always going to remember the cop stopping us and having to explain to him why you have to get out of the car, and assuring them you wont lose control.
Jerome (IRS): it was a relief that you came out for the tourney, and also arrived at my house in time. work on that sol, and make the scene rumble.
Kent (Vortex) / Wai (Bonzai) / Danny (Evildemongod): good games. I am glad you all came out. We will have a lot more gg at my apartment, and more starcraft online. i ll keep you all posted on other tournaments around. you all have a lot of good potential to rock the gg scene.
Josh (cain[e]): glad you could make it out. wouldn’t have been as much fun without you man. hope your hand heals up quickly.
Arshad (slevin): if i had a new gen system, i would definitely play a lot of STHDR with you. should meet up and play 3s some time, since you live almost right next to me.
Mike (Flexo): man, you are going to be sorely missed if you go to the navy. your commentating was a lot of fun. i will hit you up whenever i go down to champaign to visit. you are always welcome at my place whenever you feel like coming up to chicago.
James (Humbag): 3rd strike is a lot of fun to play you in. definitely wish i played a bit more when I was at UI.
Andy (CappsIndigo): great seeing you. we didnt get any matches against each other in any games. thanks again for recording. i ll be looking forward to the vids when you post them, as i always enjoy watching the ones you post.
Yosh (orka): one of the chillest people at every tournament. we have to hang out more.
Dennis (UkyoTachibana): whenever you have some free time, we should play more sol-ky, and sol-zappa. it was fun hanging out and talking more bout gg.
Andrew (722): finally we meet. i know you’ve played with yosh and scott a good deal, but we just always miss each other. your bridget is serious business. sol-bridget was fun to play, and your side comments were entertaining. i still have to learn how to play that matchup better.
Mike (Elvenshadow) bozac: thanks for running such an awesome tourney, and also so smoothly. you are going to have to share more of your wisdom about the sol-faust matchup with me. too bad we didn’t get any casuals afterwards, but our match in the tournament was epic. i should have played more sol, instead of robot …
Aaron (AKA): thanks for the advice on playing against/with eddie. he is always fun to play, though just not as comfortable for me. i wanted to get more matches against you, casuals were fun.
Josh (the-funk-doc): your ABA reminds me just how much I hate playing against her. we didnt get those casuals in that we said we were going to get, but there will be another day.
Nappy/Beefman: Go Team Mexican Coke Butterfly ________ teams were fun. thanks for the invitation on your team.
Andrew (BlackHat): Nice meeting you, and chatting with you at denny’s. Your hat and cane were pretty cool. I didn’t forget your alias with the hat on and everything.
Eddie (Symbiote): Millia is fun to play against. Glad I got a lot of casuals with you, and also got the opportunity to play you in singles and teams.
Neil (Sigmae): Thanks for setting up Blazblue. I didn’t really get to play, but it looks good up-close-and-personal. I know it was tough to bring it up to the venue.
Jesse (Fiestamint): Man, I haven’t seen you in over a year. Good times. Great to see you come out. I am always going to remember you for the avatar and your alias, just because they match so well.
Ok, fine. Here’s my list:
Elvenshadow - Great tourney! Well run brackets, good venue choice, tourneys started and ended on time … damn, it’da been PERFECT had it not been for that power outage. Much respect to you!
Capps - As always, you are the greatest asset to the community. Good shit in FUC and AH… you’ve got rin basics down so well for someone who’s hardly touched the game. With a bit more practice, you’ll definitely surpass me (though that’s not saying much)!
meta - Congrats on winning FUC and AH… you just too beastly, yo! GGs in FUC… once I figure leys, YOU’RE DONE!
Orka - It’s always great to see you and the rest of the chi-town peeps. GGs in both FUC and AH… looking forward to more GGs at Arcade UFO. (Yep, I’ma ditch FR and go to that instead! Wanna hit them new games HARD!!!)
Random123456789 - GGs in AH and TvC. Thanks for the TvC tips.
Necrosis - GGs in FUC. Keep working that archer and always be careful of running your blockstrings too long.
Keits - Good shit running the ENTIRE TvC tourney on ONE setup and still getting it done with time to spare for more casuals. Thanks for getting me into TvC (game’s too much fun) and coaching me. Next time you see me, I’ma be BEASTLY!!!
j1n - GGs in FUC. Your sabre caught me off-guard with that INSANE rushdown… good shit. We gotta chill more next time.
devildigimon - Man, I got ROBBED! lol, GGs… I’ll exact my revenge the next time we meet. My rin will be EVEN MORE intimidating!!!
Luigi-bo - Nigga, fix yo hair! Good to see you again even though we didn’t chill much. We’ll chill more next time.
Josh the funk doc - Glad you made it. GGs in TvC. See you next major!
Team IA - I luv you guys!
Team MO & NE - Good to see you guys again.
And GGs to everyone I played.
I believe this.
TvC is fun.
This
Also, J1N and PBJ - FUCK YOU!!!:mad:
J1N - $100 on HnK nex time I see you:bluu:
Good games to everyone but these six specifically:
Millia player: Sorry I didn’t get your name, wow you are good though. I was the long-haired Millia player. I actually play Bridget, but I’m trying to switch over to Millia so I had to get in as much of that mirror match as I could.
Those Smash players who were playing Faust and Johnny: Good work in such a short time. I’m sure you’re going to be annihilating people in no time at all.
Jerome: You’ve got excellent defense, which is rare in a newer player (and in people who’ve been playing for years for that matter :P). Keep at it.
FunkDOC: You got like seventeen times better since the last time I played you, props.
Jerry: Mad respect to you sir. Your Sol is exactly what I wanted my Sol to be, technical and patient.
Everyone else, I already know you or I already got in touch with you but good games.
After a full nights sleep, shout outs!
Nives - Yeah man, I know EXACTLY what you mean about not being as comfortable. Hopefully that’ll change with time, it’s a big learning experience! Great games also, your Sol really got a lot better. Please stop getting that dust combo every time, wow!
Neil - Great job on Blazblue! It was a huge hassle I know, but it really allowed a lot of people to see the game first hand. Lots of love.
Elvenshadow - Great job over the weekend man, and your hospitality was ridiculous. Even in a time of crisis you guys pulled through for us and that was unprecedented, thank you. I know what you mean, preach to the choir! My Millia is still miles better, but every journey has a beginning. Great games, excellent job running the tournament, and good luck at SBO!
Cue - Great job on getting second! Maybe you could help me with my Eddie defense a bit, because I was getting RAPED. I gotta agree with Paul on the Smash issue as well, please keep Brawl alive! Ya gotta believe!
Bob Washington - Good games buddy! Just remember, when I’m in town it’s ALWAYS Shark Week!
YooYoung - Good games as always man, I love seeing you come out to like every tourney ever. Hope the NY thing works out for you! I promise we’ll play more next time, I swear!
Ukyo Tachibana - You’re always one of my favorite people at tournaments. Half the reason I look forward to Chicago tourneys is to chill with you. If we end up rolling through again in the next couple of weeks I’ll definitely get in touch with you.
Fiestament - We never played! We’ll fix that wagon if we roll through again. Nice seeing you.
BlackSnake - I had no business beating you in the tournament and the vids will reveal that. Good shit anyway! We only played like one set of casuals the whole time, but we’ll get more in next time.
SH - Never played you, which makes me sad. I’ll get in touch if we roll through again soon, we’ll get in a ton of playtime then. It’s always great seeing you mean, definitely my home boy!
JoshTheFunkDoc - Good games this weekend man. You’ve got a great ABA, you nail every combo I see you go for and that is often the difference between winning and losing with her. You’ve also been to every tournament in recent memory, so good job repping!
Stark - Thanks for the props man, but my Eddie is still pretty confused as to what it’s supposed to be doing sometimes. Good games though, and coming out from Washington is a long way out. Good job for repping your region and coming out.
Darago - Thank and good games man! I’m glad you made FF your choice for a first tournament; it was a blast. Any time you see me, just come up and talk to me and we can get some games in or something.
Eddie (not the character) - Good games! Your Millia is great, be proud. I hope I see you again next time I’m in town, we’ll get more games in for sure.
Webster - It was good seeing you man, please do more commentary! Lunchables? Tea bags? Doogie Houser? PLEASE add Steve’s joke about fighting a tar pit (Eddie)! I know that we didn’t talk much, but just come up next time and I’ll let you know what’s going on.
CappsIndigo - I didn’t watch you in AH to see how good you’ve gotten, but it was great to hang with you. You’re the video master and always around to help. Get dat Blazblue!
Yosh - I saw you like three times the whole weekend. What’s up with that? Good…games? HENSHIN…PENISBLADE!
Humbag - Great job running HDR and 3s, consistent as usual. We’ll have to hang out (and drink) next time we see each other. Drunken games would be sweet.
Frank - If you leave for the Navy, don’t leave us completely. Like I told Cameron, you may leave the game…but the game never leaves you! Go career and do all that solider shit and hit us up in 20 years. I’m sure at least I’ll still be playing…maybe.
Floe - Good games in the tournament, I learned a lot playing you. Boxer is a matchup I need more experience in. I think I share your opinion on Akuma, but I’m going to wait until the floodgates open completely first.
Tony Dfly - I was really impressed with your Blanka, we had a lot of good games. Which console do you play on? Drop me a line on 360 under AKA v2 if you want to get some games in sometime.
Keits - Nice meeting you. We should have played more, I rarely get to do the Cammy mirror and yours was pretty good. I’ve only ever played MiloDC’s Cammy in the mirror and that was in ranked only a few times. I’m not sure why more people don’t play her.
To anyone I missed, my bad. It was good games and good times all around this weekend. See everyone at the next big one!
Shoutout time

Oh an random shoutout to that woman in chinatown at B&B massage asking if I wanted a massage.
I might be missing people if i do i’m sorry but GG’s to everyone I played keep it goin an keep it gangsta’
Yeah, sorry about complaining about our match and my loss on the LCD. I was irritated at that moment anyway due to my loss in FUC being due to a totally broken arcade stick i borrowed. Your cammy was on point, it played exactly like mine! Im on 360 so if you want to play on LIVE sometime, that would be hot.
I’m used to mashing out like that because of marvel. I though it was a bit heavier, but once it started moving I stopped trying to mash out so vigorously.
Oh, it is on mother fucker!!!
