Anyone know of any of the results from the York Tourney?
York Tourney news!
To those who didn’t go…
You missed out on lots of fun today, lots of good matches and a couple upsets too. The vibe was really good for 3S and CVS2 had it’s moments too. Unfortunatly Marvel got jacked cuz of a crapped out machine. Getting there was also funny too, we counted 9 accidents going there and back LOL. We saw a dood wipe out into the highway barrier in the oncoming traffic side, right next to us. I can’t give specifics on tourney results but I know i placed dead last in both CVS2 and 3S. Which was actually what I think I needed most. I learned alot, got to speak with Dogberry, Roger, and Justin a bit, and learned a few things from Teddy about Marvel 2. John also placed last in CVS2… so things didnt’ turn out too well for him either, but all his matches really good and he did really well against some really good players. Turns out i played the same 2 guys he ended up playing.
I don’t know how Teddy did so he’ll have to enlighten you guys on that. oh… and before i forget… Jaime is a beast… didnt’ get to see his match against Roger though.
Highlights:
- The many accidents to and from York
- Curts crappy directions (go UP when you get into the parking lot… LOL when it was really go DOWN)
- The crappy weather LOL for me… it was just really funny.
- finding out Roger and I used to go to the same breakdancing jams even though we didn’t know each other and talking to him about old days past
- Meeting some really nice guys (Ghandi, Kevin, Roger, and whoever else i missed)
- learning a bit about Marvel from Teddy
- Teddy’s Napolean Dynamite performance (HAHAHAHA)
- some how eluding Ghandi in my second losers bracket round and hitting him with some Ryu ghetto tricks (haha John and Darko know what i’m talking about)
- learning alot about CVS2
- Teddy’s magic Bison RH hitting that dood’s ( dont’ know who that was ) Blanka from behind
Lowlights:
- Crappy tourney performance
- not getting to watch the Marvel tourney and learn stuff
- not being able to think of anything else to talk about that sucked.
Overall:
Today was really fun, learned alot and got to know Teddy better. Also there is news about the LAN party i’m going to let you guys know about.

RXS
York was a blast.
Got there at about 11:30 which was stupid cause I didn’t know the arcade didn’t open till noon. :xeye: Spent the time eating a bagel and arguing whether I should attempt 3S, which I ended up passing on. Saw Team Brampton hanging around the front, met them for a bit as Justin made fun of the Hamilton guys trying to follow his directions. John, Teddy and Vince finally showed and hung out with them at Popeyes for a bit before going in to play some CvS2 casual. Got off on the right foot and put up a 4 game streak before losing to Ghandi and got smoked by Roger’s K Groove one match before the tourney started.
First round I got a bye. Thanks Justin.
Second round I fought Kin and overcame some early jitters to get a big lead with Sagat and take him out with Rock. Second match he used a runaway Mai to put me 2 characters down but my Chun came up with not one but two dragon combos to pull the comeback victory.
Third round, after like a four hour wait, I fought Roger. I fought pretty well the first game and hung around long enough to make it interesting but missed an opportunity at a dragon combo in the final round and fell. Second game, his Rolento smoked me and his Blanka took care of my Chun. Thought I fought well, but Roger is too good.
In Losers, I make the mistake of looking at the brackets and see I face Ghandi, who I have a good record against, next and that if I won, I’d likely face Justin who I played well against last week at York. I liked my chances of finishing pretty high all of a sudden. Before I fought Ghandi though, Steve upset Justin in a Brampton grudge match. :wow:
Against Ghandi, I thought I had the first match well in hand but got sloppy in the final round and blew it to his nasty P Cammy. Second match, my Sagat got the healthy lead which I managed to hold onto with a scrubby roll kikosho in the final round. Last match, I get a bigger lead with Sagat but his P Cammy slaughters my Rock to make it even against Chun but I managed to hit a couple of links to lvl 1 super to take the set.
Against Steve, I have to admit I’d rather have faced Justin. Steve just has my number. First match I actually had well in hand until he hit me with a whack shin sho that crossed me up somehow and made me block the wrong way…still not sure how the fuck he did that. Second match was a sloppy affair on both sides but Steve pulled it out when I jumped into a shinkuu hadoken. Steve was just on fire and I don’t think I’ve ever beaten him at CvS2; he beat me in the 5on5 way back too.
Anyways, I stayed around after and actually played some Tekken 5 using some really old ghetto Tekken 3 Ling Xiayou bullshit. Aside from using Tekken’s version of roll throw a ton, I got rocked hard, especially by Kevin’s Paul who has that fucking cheap punch that does like 40% damage and pretty much sets you up to get run over after…:wow: I think I’ll mostly pass on T5 really…don’t have the money to give to Namco to learn that shit properly. And fuck that card system too…:lame:
After that I watched the finals of CvS2, went on a decent 4 or 5 game streak with Ibuki on 3S somehow then watched the entertaining finals of the ghetto MvC2 tourney they finally managed to run.
Anyways, highlights…
–finishing 7th in CvS2; disappointed in my play the last match but still satisfied with 7th out of about 20-23 people or so
–watching JS Master go ballistic on York’s Jap sticks
–seeing the constant trash talking between Sauga and JS Master in the Marvel tourney :lol: all that shit is so jokes
–Steve is the new King of Brampton
–noodleman hating my flipping, rolling, dancing Ling Xiayou; also Xcopying some dudes Xiayou juggle combo
–props to Kevin(Dogberry) for some good play in the CvS2 tourney as well; go Hyper AE! Old school!
Thanks again to Dark Dragon for the ride home and to Roger for hooking me up. Much appreciated since I didn’t have a fuck what bus to hook up with at that hour.
Hamilton, come to Metro, Feb 19th…
!
Sounds fun.
Good stuff, Jamie.
:tup:
rubs eyes holy crap its Ike, where ya been man? hope the co-op terms treatin ya good heh.
heres my highlight from yesterday. seeing a mere 10cm of snow turn into almost a foot and a half(nearly 2 in snow drifts)
getting stuck on upper wentworth coming home from work(thank god for rocking and 1st gear) and hearing that its a 6-7 hour wait for CAA from some lady :wow:
good job dirty gwailo 
…nice to see that you did well and didn’t get those tourny jitters like you normally get…i’ll see about metro…too far ahead for me to see if it’s possible…
vince>>i’m good for the LAN for a couple of hours
Good Job Jamie. Glad to see that the Anus Infection did not slow your game play down. Good shit Dirrrty Gwai Lo!!!
Oh yeah, quote of the day from me(didn’t come up with anything lame today believe it or not) was: “It was a sinus infection, not an anus infection…fucking Vanny…”
Oddest thing about the CvS2 was that there were quite a few different characters played…Psychochronic used Raiden/Athena/Cammy. Luu who finished fourth used K Ryo/Gief/someone. Kin, my first round opponent used Yun/Kyo/Todo. There were like five people who used Mai and four or five people that used P Groove. JS Master used an insane Nakoruru. Roger used RC Gief in the first round on some poor dude Teddy called Curt Jr cause he used Kim rolling upkick thingy. Lots of variety in there which was fun to see.
Is anyone’s MSN fucked up???
Yep, it hasn’t been working properly since last night. My list usually has about 40 active people, right now it’s at 14.
i’m playing CVS2 for life now… i saw a King… that guy is my hero.
RXS
If you saw King then you’re watching Steve or Tyrell. I don’t know anyone else in the entire GTASF that uses that character aside from them.
Hey Justin,
Team Weapon X = pretty good… i like the randomness of low tier characters and your good old Vega thrown together… LOL… i can’t believe you hit someone with Hoahmaru’s HP slash… that shit is too good
