LIVE Final Round 9 updates!

Let me rephrase:

If you would have shown up, you would have known the detailed results. You had shit to do, so you didn’t. Then you get on SRK and make an off the cuff comment about the results not being up. Why? Because you’re an asshole.

Sorry about your dying family member. But you’re still an asshole.

A new thread will be up as soon as I get done compiling all these results (should be later tonight).

I don’t know for 100% sure, but I assume he was from Orlando since he was there with Eder and Vercette in their hotel room.

Actually, it was Justin Wong (Feng) vs. wing_zero (Nina) and I don’t believe the word “nigga” was used either. People were rooting for wing_zero and saying “EESE, EESE, EESE!” and when Justin pulled the win out of his ass, he stood up and said all you claimed he did minus “nigga” and plus “EESE, EESE, EESE!”

Final Round was aight this year but people being stingy with electrical outlets and what games are being playing on their OWN tv’s is pretty shitty.

hell ya it’s kevin from orlando, the actual ranking was me, kevin, then eder, but I had to play freakin derek first round out of the pool rankings into the final bracket, then had to play alex g, god damn it… but my scrub owns kevin for free… eder on the other hand… eewwww… haha

edit : Orlando is now the hot spot for ownage in mvc2, but we still got that orlando/g-ville rivialry… come get sum!

the suppose japanese killer didnt get top 16 damn…

Here’s some shitty blurred pictures featuring some high(and funky)-lights.

Thank you to EVERY FUCKING BODY that attended this years event!!! It was hot as the devil’s draws in the tournament room, but I swear I put the AC on 50 for the whole weekend. I want to give some shout out’s and this may take awhile, but I have alot of people to thank:

FR9 Original Staff:
Thank you to KYAH, PHI, LEIGH, JEFF (from Fla.), JEFF in the ATL, ANT, CHARLES, JOE, FRANCO, KAMAU, MALIK, ALLDAY, LOS, ICEAGE, JORDAN, TED, MEL, SAM, and OF COURSE MY LOVELY WIFE for helping my dumbass run FR9. There is no fucking way I could have ran FR9 without ya’ll. The funny thing is “running” was the key word for me this year as I was running back and forth between every tournament making sure everything was cool. It was so much easier with you guy’s there. I think I lost 10 pounds this weekend asking is everything cool. lol

Kyah: thanks for not getting sick this year and helping out a bit. lol Also thanks for the certificate man. I almost shed a tear.

Phi: thanks for the help JET. lol Bring you 3s board down to the dirty dirty really helps sir and you work really well while drunk!. lol

Jeff from Fla.: Thanks for running everything that had to do with GG and getting people organized to come to FR9 from the bottom. I know you only had like 5 hours sleep that whole weekend dog, but you hung in there like a G. Good luck with your move to cali and always rep the south shawty!

Fugee: for helping out with everything. Running MvC2, helping clean up and being a cool as nigga. You always got a place to chill when you visit the ATL.

Jordan: thanks for being the FR9 tech this year. You took ted’s job this year, but next time look for the button that cut’s on the machine before you unplug every wire on the head to head 3S machine. lol

Jarred, Kamau, Franco, Koop, TED, and LEIGH: Thanks for being security, cleaning up, and watching over the money with my wife for me.

LOS, Jeff from ATL: thanks for helping in random tournaments when I needed you to help phi or kyah.

ALLDAY and ANT: Thanks for recording the matches at FR9, so we can make the FR9 DVD. You guy’s got alot of great footage this weekend.

CHarles: For running NGBC while you was sick as a dog. I know you always got my back.

Malik and ICEAGE: Thanks for running the shit out of T5 and SC3. Always good to see ya’ll at FR.

Sam and Mel: for helping my wife take the money and handing out badges.

And to my lovely wife: for loving a dumbass like me and putting up with me during this whole weekend.

FR9 recruited staff:

Eric Lee “ShinShay” :(ran the 3s team tournament great!!)

Koop and the MD crew: (help with unloading the cabinet’s from the truck, being security, and just being cool as nigga’s to hang with!)

VDO and all of the playa’s from the “D”: Thanks for helping run CvS2. Letting us use your PS2 for cvs2. Do you have the brackets or does phi? lol

DSP: Thank’s for the LIVE updates sir. I don’t see why people hate on you sir. Your cool with me and remember the key work for FR9 is “FUCK THE HATERS!”

Also special thanks to “EVERYONE” that lend me there TV’s, PS2’s, DC’s, games, and Arcade Cabinet’s. I can’t run FR without you guy’s lending a helping hand with your equipment and supporting the southeast fighting game community.

Phi, Eli, Adam, Jordan and Ted: for letteing me use your cab’s and cps3/cps2 systems for the arcade tournaments.

Highlight’s:

Phi: whoopin fool’s in the MvC2 team tournament drunk as fuck!! Phi=best drunk player i’ve “EVA” seen. Also our .25 ST money match. I want my .25 back damnit!!! lol

Me: For not getting last in every game I played in since I’ve basically been forced to retire. Maybe i’ll start playing again if I ever get the time to play against humans.

Everyone that came to FR9: Meeting so many new faces and old FR vet’s made me almost shed a tear. I had a dream about this tournament 9 years ago when I started FR. The faces aren’t the same, but the feeling was the same as this was the “PEOPLE’S MAJOR”! Everyone telling me this was a great tournament, but it was great because all of you guy’s showed love to a nigga call larry that’s from the ATL. I really appreciate the support FR get’s every year. Every year it seems like FR get’s a little bit bigger and better. I may get the credit for running fr9, but the players that attend FR9 are what made this years event the bomb shit.

Justin Wong: winning 3 pimp cups and giving 2 of them away to his friends. I don’t know why people hate on him so much. The kid is good at everything and cool lil dude. I hope I didn’t hurt you and leigh when I tackled you and leigh in the hallway. (Can you say GOLDBERG?!?!?!) Fear the spear!!! lol

Jeron: we didn’t play against each other in shit this weekend. It was cool chillin with ya though. Get some sleep hommie.

My GA. Peeps:
Epsilon: Getting a tie for 7th in 3S singles. I think you showed alot of people that your not all talk on SRK. You have gotten alot better than I saw you play last year at FR9. Your dudley is trill.
50morecents: representin the ATL to the fullest in mvc2!!! I thought you retired in that game dog??? Good shit, because there was some killa’s in that tournament.
All of my ATL Tekken hommies: holding it down every year at FR. Ya’ll away keeps it trill and hold that shit for the ATL.

Clint: well it had to happen sometime dog. I know you was fresh out of the hospital 2 days before FR, but you still came to FR. You tried to defend the ATL the best you could, but crow is a great player. Congrats to crow for ending the 8 year streak, but that means you have to start a new streak next year. :wink:

NC crew: It was good seeing all of my peeps from NC again. Lu and P-soul getting 1st and 2nd in NGBC tournament. You told me that you was going to hold that shit down Lu and you did that sir. Why do I always have to play again Eric P. at FR? Good shit sir and remember I didn’t make the bracket’s this year. We will continue our saga in ST next year. Orochi is off the chain and always cool to chill and talk with. RekkaKen came out of retirement and showed at FR9. It was good seeing you there bro. I hope you can make it back next year.

SC: It’s always good to see you guy’s again. You guy’s are growing up right in front of my eye’s. I’m getting old. Thanks for your support of FR every year fella’s.

NE: Simon, Jamar, and David are some cool ass nikka’s and it’s always good to chill with ya’ll. Thanks for your support of FR9 and i’ll see ya’ll next year shawty.
P.S.-Next time jamar if you got to go. Go out with your OG character “necro”!!!

H-Town crew: Thanks for coming out to FR9 this year. All of you guy’s are mad coo peeps and are welcome in the ATL anytime. Hopefully you’ll be back for FRX

OHIO Crew: Good to see ya’ll again owning up in all kind’s of games. Thanks for supporting FR and i’ll see ya’ll next year.

Pobolo from KY: Did I spell that right? If I didn’t i’ll edit it when I get the correct spelling. Nice to put a face behind the srk name. That was a good match we had in 3S sir. We have to do it again at FRX. I don’t know if cvs2 can be on the same day as 3S since both games take FOREVA to completem, but i’ll see what I can do about that next year.

Taz: Good to see you bro. I know living in the middle of Ky has you down, but your skill hasn’t droped a lick. I’m not going to think about playing you in SF Anny. You was beastin on everyone with “champion M.Bison”. Too fucking good sir!

Fla. crew: Thanks for your support of fr every year. It was good seeing all of you guy’s again.
Damn you peter and your X-Rolento! $5 Money match next year on my cab BET IT SON!!! LOL Damn kid’s think their taking ova the world. lol
The south is going to miss your leadership “Jeff”. Every year you get Fl. organized and ready to attend FR. Good luck in cali and everything you do, but ain’t no way in THE HELL I would drive to cali from miami!!!

Low light’s:

The funk that was in the ballroom:
I appreciate everyone that attended FR9, but if you have a room at the hotel and if you smell youself:PLEASE GOTO YOUR ROOM AND WASH YOUR ASSS SHAWTY! For that reason only i’m going to look into getting a sponsership from the following companies:

AXE body spray
old spice
right gaurd
irish spring
dail
scoop
aquafresh
fast acting tanactin
jergen’s lotion
and secret!

Also there was too much drinking going on saturday in the tournament area. Some kids walked into the tournament area and I walked them out before their parents came into the room. When I went out of the ballroom and came back in it smelled like a bar in there. I could have gotten arrested if one of those kids would have pick up a drink laying around and gotten drunk. Next year keep the drink’s in the hotel rooms please. :wink:

People stealing shit: I know some people can’t act right, but why in the fuck would you steal koop’s grey pullover when it’s 80+ degree’s outside this weekend?!?!? If we find out who you are we will put a bullyfoot in that ass! Believe that shit shawty!

If I missed someone i’m sorry. My brain is fried from this weekend, but I can’t wait to do it again next year. FRX is going to be off the mothafuckinchainshawty!

Thanks for coming out to support the southeast tradition called "FINALROUND"9. Be easy everyone and GOTO ECC11

P.S.-- we will be making a FR9 DvD, so I would like to ask everyone not to post or host any footage of the final 8 in every tournament. We will be selling FR9 T-shirt’s and the FR9 dvd on www.digitalfrontierplus.com in the near future.

My results thread went down - I saved everything on my computer at work, so check back tomorrow and I’ll have all that shit back up.

EDIT: Apparently there was a rollback b/c of all the recent problems on the site, so I’ll have the results back up tomorrow.

Final Round was very memorable to me and I will not forget the fun I had or the people there. Atlanta peeps are all chill and nice and they make you feel comfortable about having a good time.

Larry (ShinBlanka): It was nice meeting you for the first time. You are a very dedicated to the community and its awesome how your keeping the scene alive in the South. You?re a cool guy and the hospitality that the Atl displays as a whole is just warming.

Ronin Chaos: Yo you?re a funny ass dude! Had us all dying at dinner! Keep it up with that Radio Cast man. I think its great!

Jeron

I tried my best to go but I couldnt…=(.

When do you think the DVDs will go out bc I know I can’t wait to get a hold of it!!!

Wow.surely I cant wait to see NGBC!!!

What up Jeron that was me man. Yeah good games in that shit, I could hardly remember anything in CFJ. I wish we could have played without being interrupted by people who said it sucks but then wants to play it every rotation :confused: And good shit with Mudman in NGBC too I don’t know if you saw my Mudman matches but I had a couple of people "perturbed :annoy: " lol :lol:

Okay, it seems that SRK ate my shoutout post away, so here is the gist of it:

Shoutouts, GGs and otherwise to: FR9 staff, epsilon_, Exodus, kenmastersX, Jeron, Koop, Ghaleon, Jamarvelous, DSP, JustinW, Lucius, Sora, NC crew, OH crew, and a bunch of other people I honestly can’t remember at the moment that were all beast. Fucking hell.

We don’t have a time table now for the release date, but we will have one this year. Unlike last year when footage got lost.:confused: :sad: :sweat:

Jun was a beast with Urien in the 3S tourney and the 3S team tourney. He had Exodus sweatin’ bullets in the team tourney when he pulled off that full parry of Ken’s super and then he put him in the aegis reflector trap. He botched it at the last minute though and Exodus just scraped by with the win. Exodus thought at first he was just gonna chip Jun’s Urien to death for the win easy, lol.

I was there watching over Exodus’ shoulder and when Jun parried all of the super and retaliated, Exodus yelled “FUCK!”, then I heard “AEGIS REFLECTOR!”.:rofl:

Good times FR9 was. Good times.

Anyway I meant to talk to Jun but I never got around to it, he seemed like a nice guy.

I didn’t go

really?

someone told me you did. o_O

First and foremost I’d like to thank Larry for organizing this, and all the other staff members who ran the tourneys and made shit possible.
