Alright. Tournament time next Saturday! This is invitation only but I’m very open to suggestions, as I don’t have 8 people off the top of my head I know available and willing to participate. So far I’ve got:
1. SilphDK, dat ibuki player 2. Vulcan Hades, the one and only Yoshi 3. FullAutoDeath, EWGF’s hurt 4. RedVega, Some dude 5. Lexity, Some guy 6. ThanCruz 7. 8.
Unconfirmed but people I would like to see: WestAB, Killinator, Knuckledust, Dane, King D, raf
2/3 sets, 3/5 grand finals.
I haven’t decided if single elim or double elim and feedback would be much appreciated. Leaning more towards single elim simply for time.
No assist gems. Boost gems are cool
Preferably east coast players for this, but if you have a shit hot connection I don’t care.
Not yet open to EU players. Hopefully I can run one later down the road strictly for you guys <3
The winner gets 8.95$ paypal from me personally and an interview on Skype! I realize that 8.95$ isn’t big ballin but that’s the point – it’s an online tournament and the seriousness of play can only be taken to a certain level. I’m more interested in the learning experience for the players.
I would if I could, but I’ll likely be gone all day Saturday. Helping Don Wulong (the Kaz/Hugo player that pops into the stream from time-to-time) move, actually.
Just a reminder, I plan to start around 4-5 pm EST and ill have a roll call in the chat before starting. Need more sign ups and people on stand by in case people can’t make it.
Today i will be streaming myself learning Akuma. Silph thinks hes a bad character looooooool I think he’s potentially better than ryu. Stay tuned. Ill begin streaming this process around 4 pm est.
Again, sorry no open lobby atm, didnt want to be late for work.
I have no idea where the idea that Akuma is a bad character came from. The more I play with him, and against him for that matter, the more I think he’s secret top-tier. Even without the vortex of old he’s still a nightmare, especially when he’s got speed gems boosting his wicked-fast jumps.
