MN Meltdown Results - 8/15/2009

Had a great time, sorry I had to jet like half way through but thats what happens when things are like 4 hours behind.

Had a really great time, to bad i had to leave right after the BB tourny. Sucked that i didnt play that great. Hopefully by next tourny, people will be able to remember me for more than my arcade stick.

I’m going hit you both up with invites. I was the purple & pink Noel with the arcade stick that everybody liked.

Also, big thanks for gene and games n go! When I got there he was helping run brackets and registration, and giving out gift cards for GnG in a raffel, so good stuff! Also, big ups to the guys from Wisconsin and Iowa for coming up, sorry Iowa I didn’t actually get to meet any of you guys, but i like that you guys are helping support our scene, maybe next time I’ll get to meet ya! Good shit Yeng (Smooth-focker) and shia from Wisconsin for coming up, even though yeng left after his first sf4 match hah!

Feel free to add me on PSN for sf4 spars! I don’t play any other game though, well except HDR and Marvel but i suck at those games.

yeah that sucked… we were behind on all the tourneys… which happens its understandable but not to everyone else that Doesnt play in tournys. i wish i could of but i had other plans and didnt think it would take as long as it did. GG’s on casuals … BAKA we gotta hit up on GGPo 3s was awesome. damn that el fuete… i’ll get those basterds back! lol naw gg didnt see that one coming at all… my mind went blank on how to fight a decent fuete. o well next time i’ll make tiem for a full tourny!

I can’t believe I didn’t mention Gene and Games n Go in my post yesterday. Thank you very much Gene for helping us take sign ups, helping with the brackets, the gift cards, and for your support in general.

Just a reminder to everyone, you can take your lanyard / badge in to any Games n Go location and get 15% off!

There are stores in Rosedale, Brooklyn Park and Burnsville. Check out their website for more details or to order online.

Also, Andrew (nikkos010), you were chosen as one of the winners of the $10 Gift Card from Games n Go. I couldn’t find you when we gave it out, and I think you left before I had time to try and track you down. If you come down to one of our gatherings, I can give you your gift card (or if you’re down in the cities for other things, you can pick it up).

Yeah, I did honestly plan to capture lots of matches, but I got caught up in all the gaming. Maybe I’ll get a better camera and probably ask a few people that don’t play (and/or aren’t busy) to help capture.

ugh… I’m still mind-fucked from the whole weekend so I’ll keep this short.

MADD Props to TarkanX for going that extra mile to support the tourney and the entire fg community. Shows true dedication… something we could ALL learn from.

Good shit to Shogun17 and crew for running this thing. Sorry for constantly hounding you with q’s on tourney start times (as if you didn’t have other, more important, things to worry about).

GGs to everyone I played, big thanks to everyone who loaned me their stick, and great seeing faces, both old and new.

more vids!

WTF ya’ll talking bout? I’m uploading footage as I am typing! :wgrin: Only problem,
my battery died half way into the event. I caught a few random matches though
(a couple of Yascha’s, one of Sola and one of Grog’s). NOTE - I didn’t catch the names
of their competitors, if anyone knows drop me a note and I will update accordingly.
