JGD CHAOS
GameStop location: Howard Hughes Promenade in Culver City
Character(s) used: Ryu

players entered: 12

Place finished: 1st

Name: Jester aka Meat Truck
GameStop location: Lancaster, PA #765
Character(s) used: Dhalsim

players entered: 64

Place finished: Tied for first, they didn’t have us officially play, but smoothviper and I played afterwards and he raped me = (

I played against ken the entire time, and it was a scrubfest. One ken actually caught on that jumping in on sim and throwing random srk’s was a bad idea, and I had to get trixy to win, but other than that it was bleh. Next week should produce some pretty dope matches though, plus another week to practice pad madness!

Nice job Kyle, we’ll definitely play sometime. The guys at my gamestop let the other player keep the bracket, he asked me if it was ok. Very respectful group of locals overall.

players entered: 40 something

Place finished: 1st

:xeye: XBOX 360 pad is a horrible controller and it should be ashamed of itself. I spent more time trying to adjust to the button configuration than I did fighting. It was funny listening to some of the guys talking smack. One guy goes, “Dey lucky dey dun lit uz use dat Sakoora. I don’t loze wit her son, her dragon hit 6 time!” :rofl: I was more surprised that he could count to 6 with they way he was talking. Or another guy, “I’m 40-0 online with Zangief and 20-0 online with Sagat”. :wasted: He lost in the first round and didn’t even put up a good fight. Or my favorite random wtf moment. After I won my 3rd match, this guy walks up to me and says “Wow, you’re good. Do you speak Japanese?!”. :confused:

I’m not sure who won the Skibo Rd. or Cross Creek Mall locations in Fayetteville. I didn’t even realize that Fayetteville had 5 GameStops until today. Overall, it was a fun way to kill some time. :wonder: That’s the gist of it… dood!

Tourney was great. pad was awkward, but it’s nothing a little more practice can’t fix. My bison game does need some help (good pressures, safe poking, safe and efficient mix-up’s)

players entered: 32

Place finished: YELLOW HEADBAND, BABY. ALL DAY.

Comments: GS manager was a cool dude. One Boxer. One Blanka. One Honda. One Sagat. One El Fuerte. One Dictator. The rest was RYU/KEN. People using non Shoto’s were better in varying degrees of competence. Still only lost one round for trying to teleport out of a Blanka Ultra on pad.:sad:

Shattered a couple of dreams and showed some people the SRK light. The Fuerte guy taped my matches for some reason which was dope. After the tourney a few guys wanted to run it back:rofl:.

Got 'em, coach!
