[Mar 31st, 2012] SUPER Arcade Cup II: EVO Edition ***QUALIFIER***

I had a great time this weekend. It was great to see familiar faces again and meet some new ones. Eddy is super chill and I slept on mariblanka.
It’s been some time since I was last in Socal and had totally forgotten about the 'secret handshake"/standard hand greeting.

ultracombo did quite good and would’ve gotten paid for the first tournament if it had a typical payout. It’s good to see him on the ST/GGPO hype. I did godawful in the tournament, but at least ultracombo carried his weight. My own burden has been weighed down by other things.

PS: Did you guys hear me blasting CPS2 Guile theme when we rolled out? I think the volume was too low. I also have some funny behind-the-scenes footage of ultracombo I’ll upload later.

lo0l please hurry

It’s on the way, give it about an hour. I know you, especially, will like it.

EDIT: Definitely big thanks & respect to Watson for hosting the qual and Mando for working the stream. The player/commentary cam is cool and the stream quality is great, keep it up! And thanks to Muffinman for working the bracket and kuroppi for keeping us all updated.

The DGV stands are amazing. I’m sure it’ll turn a lot of heads at EVO.

Grats to AfroLegends and DGV!

It was my first trip to Super Arcade, and I loved it: set-up, player/fan community, support from management (and players/fans), events, lotta close places to grub, and overall vibe.

Huge props to all involved in making this event happen. From planning, to venue, to hosting, to set-ups, to hyping, to running, to streaming, to commentary, to playing, to showing up or tuning in, to posting. And everything else in between. Rock solid job.

It was great to catchup and hang with long-time friends and also to meet many new faces. (or put faces to online names) Far too many names for me to mention without missing someone. :stuck_out_tongue:

Additional thanks to Voltech, Rufus, and DGV for infos on controls, arcade setup, and emulation.
