sanford shoulda shown up to beat wong’s ass. bla isaac getting 2nd, might as well make the tournament “Final Round: the struggle for 2nd”
yo good job to people who got first place, good games everyone !
Hey, Shinblanka told me to get at you guys about this.
First off, thanks a lot for everybody coming. Every year Final Round gets much better and it only happens because of the people involved who help behind the scenes, and the people who come out and support.
We won’t have the full results, the shoutouts from him, until about two days after this. Larry’s going home and crashing out.
I’ll post my shout outs later on tonight.
Thanks, you guys.
Good shit to Pat Van Pelt, Khang, and Shinshay! MD/VA reppin’ and shit.
Wish I could’ve been there.
lol, and the best part about it was all the houston players (crow, john sanchez, jan, 2 or 3 others) were in the booth behind us, and 2 or 3 turned around really quickly and looked kind of pissed off. i was expecting her to make a black joke while she was on a roll, but there’s gotta be some fun for next year.
i’ll make my long post tomorrow if i don’t decide to write up a log.
KENTUCKEEEEEEEEE!
anyone know t5 or cvs2 results?
crow wins t5
justin wins cvs2
thx for extremely detailed results
haha, good shit DSP… but you left out the part where I perfected you with my combofiend… so in a sense, YOU paid for my dinner as well… I’d rather lose in a team tourney than get perfected… my combo vs your santhrax… hears crickets… good shit though, you’re still mad cool in person. Just like you said “Fuck the haters”…
God, here goes the lists…
DSP - read above you jerk haha
Issac - Awe, no MSP against me “Oh, I only play that when I’m serious”… in the tourney my scrubcyke vs msp… “Serious now?”… haha, good shit though, we pulled someone out of our asses to match your msp.
Chris - You got your fucking money, leave me alone!.. Still… Stick with MSS than Matrix… it’s a field day for me… really…
Patrick - YOU LOST WITH YOUR TEAM RUSH DOWN AGAINST MY MS… ICEMAN?! WTF?! I know after your storm died, you were like ‘F-this crap’… hehe… still, I know you’re top tier, good luck back in LA.
Tim - You know you like that shit when I snapped out your point character then made an assist combo video our of your magnus… still, for a pad warrior, “I’d be scared to fight you”… haha, shit is too funny.
Derek - What the hell, we were playing some causal matches then phi was like “Ok, play Derek”… we both looked at each other like “Huh?”… good shit though, but keep praying in a different room, hahahahaha!!!11
Logan X - God damn did you get better, I was almost scared to fight you after seeing you almost beat Peter… I take my hat off to you!
Alex G. - Even though you took me outta the tourney, I have two things… Mag/IM/Psy = you saying “I’m not going out like that!”… and a non glitched mag snaps out your glitched mag and then proceeds to kill your psylocke… “I lost even though my mag was glitched?.. but I button switched… I should have snapped first…”… lol, that shit is gonna haunt you for the rest of your marvel career… still, good shit in the tourney, who did you lose to to get you into losers so quickly anyways?
Taz - Even though you walked away after pwning me good, the fact of the matter is, you have your MSP… well, I don’t got shit ^_^*… good job on telling me why you have the M/Sent/P… I still had fun kicking your ass for our dollar match even though we broke even… you know you fought hard for that coke.
JWong - haha, that’s what you get for playing with your prey for too long… a jw-cable-wannabe-almost comeback on you… I saw you throw your hands up and was like “WTF” after storm got doubled shot in the mouth… still, good shit for holding it down, we’ll rematch someday.
Skitz - damn it, I played you once… and it was an OCV with combofiend… damn it, i want my 5 bucks!
Andy from Tally - God, you had me scared in our match, I thought I was like “damn, I don’t want to lose to a FL player”… haha, good shit though, bring in CC if need be, but Cyke works great for trapping.
VDO - Damn you for making a combo vid outta me and proving why ken is top tier… still, I had to return fire and double rocket punt the hell out of Rogue, good shit man. Great meeting you too mr. “It’s me, it’s me, it’s RDG, VDO”… shit is toooooooo funny.
God, if I forgot anyone else, just tell me, I’ll re-edit… i’m tired as new now though…
Good Shit Taz. Cvs2 Results?
Now you know I have to money match you again after you beating me 2 nothing. I had bad run against team combofiend but looking for a rematch if the money permits man. Let me know the next tournament you’re going to a major and take my aim name and drop a line. Good shit btw in the tournament and casual matches that happened later! This is Tim btw…
big thanks to shinblanka and the rest of the FR9 staff. i had a great time.
random shout-outs in no particular order:
-(the one-man) team KENTUCKEEEEEEEEE!!! i’m amazed at how good you’ve gotten with minimal comp. hope to see you around.
-random NC room next to us. gg’s. jihad-super is too good.
-shinshay for still being cool after i acted like a whiny bitch after losing. mixture of bad sticks, annoying color-commentary 8 inches behind me, and you helluh-countering my style made me all kinds of frustrated. but good shit nonetheless. :tup:
-cajunstrike: it was cool putting a face to a name. i still say that a makoto mirror-match is equivalent to rock-paper-scissors.:wgrin:
-crow for placing higher in third strike at a major than in TX regional tourneys :arazz:
-DSP. not so hateful in person. king of HYPE, more like.
-waffle house waitress for breaking more customer-service rules than i can list. NO NO THAT MENU IS FOR THE MEXICANS. (btw that was fubarduck, not me)
-random cvs2 fools in our room making all kinds of hilarity. one-person-per-character team tourney needs to happen next time.
-annnnd… exodus(holy shit you remembered my name?), jwong, epsilon, alex-guy(umthrfckr?), simon, ken-guy from SC that should’ve beat me in the tourney, and other EC people that i can’t remember because im too tired- nice chilling with all of you.
my only gripe… SOAP IS YOUR FRIEND PEOPLE. but i dont think there’s anything that can be done about that at any tourney. 4 bottles of febreeze at TS6 didn’t help much. :wasted:

The funniest shit that happened this weekend. We are all sitting in the room talking about crow is coming and some short spanish dude walks into the room saying how crow wasn’t any good. I figured he must be crazy as hell or he must be crow. So I asked him which one of you fuckers is crow? It was him. Tried to set up .:wtf: :lol:
Then he commenced to crush, rape and destroy us all night. He just went on random and played just about every fucking character on the roster. The cat is sick as hell. Thanks for the pointers and the tech.
Good games everyone I played this weekend and thanks to everyone that let me chill in there room. I had a good time.
thx for showing up. asshole.
I’ll have the complete ST, A3, and 3S results up by tonight. Dunno where all the other brackets are, Jeff (Heidern98) ran the GG’s, Malik (ShadowG) ran SC3 and ST, Eric Lee (shinshay) ran 3s teams, and Phi (JetPhi) ran Mvc2 and CvS2.
Putting this shit in SRK too.
My hats off to all the players who came. You guys taught me so much about the game its sick. I only wish I had more to offer than putting my ass in the match and eating it. Thank you all for everything everybody. I have alot of individual group and personal shoutouts…:
My guys here - I’m so proud of all you guys. It’s nice to have friends like you guys. Without you guys I wouldn’t have even come. Thank you everyone in ATL. I’ll get some surprises ready the next time we all play.
Florida Crew- It was a pleasure to finally meet all of you. Friday night at the hotel was the shit. Most fun I’ve had in a really really long time outside me and my buddies playing. Jeff, I loved watching your ky. It’s so different from Mike’s Ky and you did so well man. Chetan is too solid please give him my regards and send him a thank you from me for what he said to me on the elevator saturday. He helped me focus on what was important. Oyo with the sick ass may, get that shit down man for real. Your may was tight as hell and you had me on the ropes alot. Mark’s anji was gunnin for somebody. Couldn’t have been Yusuf though…just couldn’t have been. You did well man and I’m sorry about your pad man. Someone is obviously a very sick and disgusting individual for taking your pad >(. Peter, you were such a nice guy, nothing but good things to say about you (funny stuff too). Alex G., what can I say about Alex G. that we didn’t do to him later on that night. Raph was right about you though, you did have a nice smile. Andrew keepin his homies from Florida in check. Just don’t throw microwaves at them and you’ll be fine. I felt bad that we had to play each other. ~Sigh~. Almost forgot about Mynusdono. Keepin that I-no shit solid. Your I-no was on fire man. I wish I got to play you in the tournament. It was a pleasure meeting you all. Keep in touch guys.
Nebraska - I liked you guys alot. Very funny people and you were so impressive to watch…and you guys play 3s…envious I am. Simon, Jamarr and David you guys were all very impressive to watch. Simon’s sol…tight…Jamarrs pot…the shit…david…cool as hell with the impressive eddie. Your eddie was definitely exciting to watch since Charles plays him and was so excited to see you play eddie so well. It was definitely a pleasure meeting all of you guys. I’m at a loss for words when it comes to you guys because I probably won’t see you guys for a while :’(. Makin me sad just thinking about it. Please take care of yourselves back home. Keep in touch as well you guys.
Maryland - Whoa shit. You guys had a tough trip down here didn’t you? Shit sounded ridiculous but you guys came out alright. I’m surprised you guys drove that long to get here. That’s either dedication, sheer testilicular fortitude, or a wtf were we thinking kind of thing right there. Good shit all of you. Sorry to Eli and Sheraz. I wanted to do the team tournament saturday night but I had other obligations with classmates. They called me in the middle of the tournament asking where the fuck I was and I had to deal with them Sunday. I’ll see some of you guys on AIM sometime.
Beast of Fire - I’m happy to see someone actually try to do the shit up with HOS. You did a good job though man I know how that shit can get sometimes. I only got to play you from your crew but it was a pleasure man. I hope to see you and your friends again in the future.
Kensou man that chipp was great. You taught me some things in between the matches and after the matches too. Thank you very much. I don’t even remember all that happened except seeing chipp one minute and him being above my head the next. I don’t even know what to say really lol…you played so well man congratulations. Keep in touch man keep in touch. Thanks for the tips in casuals btw.
I didn’t even get to play KenmastersX :’(…I wanted to…his johnny on pad too…no joke. Good shit Stone. Congratulations and good job doing so well.
Before I forget - Special thanks for Mark and Jeff for running the whole damn GG thing. I know that shit got hard in between when all the shit went down. You guys did a great job and we’ll miss you jeff. Take care in California. I’m glad I came out this year…meeting new people was the better part of the experience and of course learning about the game even more. I hope you all had a good trip back and keep up the good work. Later guys.
yo mad props to everyone…too much damn skill in the atl.south. I would give shout outs to everyone, but that’d take too damn long since my opinion of everyone who came is so high and I was so impressed with everyone, so Ima limit the shout outs to a handful of peeps.
F1RST and F0REMOST:
TENNESSEE CREW!!!11!..
Fraley is the bestest guy evar for hookin us up with a place to sleep, and man you are welcome to come up to NC and stay ANYTIME seriously, thanks so much for that. YOU GUYS DID SO DAMN WELL!!! Me and Vegeken were in a daze and yall shined for real. Mad good shit fellers. Everytime I looked over to see one of you guys fighting it was because someone somewhere was like “who is this guy whoopin people’s ass with (Dizzy/Ky/Testament)??” lol… I am really very proud to see TN repped by more than 2 people this year, and yall really did it in style. I can’t stress enough how impressed I was by your lack of nerves and your will to win no matter who the hell you were playing.
SHINBLANKA AND STAFF:
Final Rounds keep gettin better and better, keep up the great work guys and don’t change what you’re doing. I have 10x more fun @FR tourneys than I have/will at Evo tourneys so that proves that great staff with a mutual love for the fighting game community is 1000 times better than getting a huge sponsor and forgetting where you came from and who your target audience is. Huge thank you for everything!!!
KENTUCKY PEEPZ:
Nice to meet you guys, and I apologize for STILL not giving yall a formal match in any shape or form, we had to bounce before we could play our team matchup. Good stuff in both tourneys tho, I was impressed. Glad to see there are so many gear players comin out the damn woodwork! =)
last shout-out…KENMASTERSX (aka -KMX-), lol@ you bringin a 12 pack of cokes so you had an excuse not to fight me!!! I know that was your plan all along, but it’s ok! haha… but seriously your johnny is sickeningly good man. I remember how you were acing people left and right at evo and as hard as it was for me to believe, you got EVEN BETTER since then. Grats on the placing and I’ll seeya later bro.
if I didn’t post a shout out for you it’s either because I don’t feel like typing too much (cause you rule ass) or because you prolly have met me on more than 1 occasion and know what I’ll say OR because I’ll be talkin to you in person or on the forums very soon so don’t take it too hard that the amazing shagstaman left you out of his post of certain and unalienable DOOM.
