Dunno…I really didn’t see Justin play Marvel much during the tourney any ways. He was probably playing 3S more than anything. Then again I wasn’t really watching Marvel either. I heard some serious shit went down in that game despite.
Well since this is a major event and I haven’t done this in a while…SHINOBI SHOUT OUTS!!!
Eric “HNIC” Small: Great job hosting the event and the venue was great. Too bad there wasn’t more tv’s for casuals but for tournament purposes the amount of tv’s was adequate. Registrations and sign ups were much organized. Having you yell at the top of your damn lungs to get people signed up for 3S teams shows dedication. Niggaz had no way to not know what was happening at whatever time. Which also cost you your voice on Sunday (but no one really came Sunday any ways). Great event and I wish I could have said I came out to the previous 6. Looking forward to 8. :tup:
Eric Lee: Good shit placing top 3 in the tourney. Played hella solid in our 50 dollar money match. Too bad you couldn’t take that extra 20 bucks. Well whenever I get more money we’ll have to do another one. I look to challenge Steve as well since he’s getting better and I need the Chun practice. Playing those matches taught me some good shit that I can take into next tourney.
Eric Kim: Good to get some more casuals against you. We don’t get to play much unfortunately and I’ll definitely need the practice against Makoto players. Way to hurt Justin in teams. Not too random…not too solid. :lol: Maybe I’ll catch you at SF mall sometime.
Eric V: Way to hold it down for MVC2 and Threes. Too bad you didn’t get set up with the shinobi this time but your Urien was serious despite. Red Urien should be banned. He’s too powerful. Especially in Elena’s stage…INVISIBLE URIEN!!!
Xenozip: Thanks a shit load for helping out in getting us to the tourney. Sucks we couldn’t have gotten casuals on Friday. Stupid TVs only had RF ports on the back. Had to wake up 7 in the morning to get to WalMart just to play casuals a couple hours before the tourney. Philly is some arm pit. We’ll see how much footage you came up with despite not having a battery charger.
B Chan: Good shit making it out to the event. Only gonna get better if you come out to the real shit. Just gotta learn to get better with your execution so you can actually punish people with some real damage when they make mistakes. Once you get that HRAP you’ll already be on your way. Way to run Melty Blood after a day of practice. :lol:
Justin Wong: Great to play you again at the event. Very chill guy as always. You’re the only Yun player I’ve fought against that’s actually smart enough to block when your Genei strings are getting blocked. Good to see that you play a lot of other characters yet your Chun is too beast. Too bad I had to fight you like 1 in the morning in the tourney. I only got 4 hours of sleep and didn’t take the match as seriously as I would have like 5 hours ago. See ya at next major.
Mamation: Good shit running with the winners to Philly. You’re mad cool and we had a lot of laughs on the way to and back from the tourney. We found Ken’s stage for SF4 on the way to NEC. We need to take a picture and send it to Capcom. Grungy football field or whatever the fuck it was with the grafitti n shit…LOL. Well played vs. Justin in teams. Just need to get that timing down for parrying the last hit of SA2. I fuck it up too but with a character like Oro…that can be the game vs. Chun. Maybe next time we’ll get to play more Slash. Nigga burgers! :lol:
**
Tatari Zar**: Good shit representing the shinobi in 3S and that new bitch in Loli Blood. Shinobi mirror match was fun. Green Ibuki ftw. Watching you play against Tinshi’s Oro was hella cool as well. Fucking KSK ranbat shit. Definitely will have to catch you at the next major event.
**
Spooky**: Way to hold shit down in Loli Blood. I didn’t know what was going on half the time but it looked fun. Thanks for the shout out and I look forward to catching you at the next major as well. Keep representing your game. :tup:
Tinshi: Good to finally play you after seeing you post on the forums. Didn’t even know you were coming to the event. Your Oro is solid and fun to play against. I have experience in the match up from playing against my friend 10 minutes down the road who also uses Oro competitively in tournaments (but now has also picked up Yang). You having experience vs. the shinobi is good to see as well. Next event we’ll definitely have to get more games in.
Bacardi: Finally got to prove myself after the 0-2 at Evo. I guess this means next Evo is looking not so bad. Just don’t make fun of me if it happens again. LOL. You definitely know your old school SF and mad chill IRL. Dhalsim was straight up magical. Makes me want to play ST more often. Good shit in casuals. Your Chun is solid. You block better than the majority of the people that played her in the tournament. A lot of the newer SF players forget to do basic shit like that. Good shit and c-ya at next event.
Gavin: Nice to finally meet you. I think it’s great that you support the Japanese fighting game scene in the US and I look forward to eventually coming up to play 3S. You definitely know what you’re doing as well in 3S. Definitely were hella patient with that Chun. Wish we had gotten our matches on video cuz they were hella fun.
Jjuice: Fun casuals in 3S as well. I can see you didn’t know the matchup too well but you played solid despite. Made it difficult for me to take to the air with those fireballs. Ibuki is a sneaky little bitch so it’s kinda difficult to set her up for Aegis. You have to have that thing right on top of her or she has like 3 different ways to get out. Hopefully if I ever come up to a TGA we can get more games.
KO Fiend: Good shit coming out when you said you weren’t. That literally made the event better than it already was. You + my bro in teams was too hype. Yun and Yang together can’t be beat. We had some fun casuals and it’s good to see that I’ve improved since Evo. Your Yang has always been beast and once you get your stick fixed I know you’ll be running people at the next console event. It’s good to play against someone who also has a very aggressive mindset. I’ve learned that blocking low is important and playing against you definitely helped me to learn a matchup that up until recently…have had very little experience
against. As of this point I’m still more afraid of Yang than Yun.
Shibuya: Didn’t get to catch up with you till the end of the tourney but now I know who you are so next major event I’ll definitely catch up with you. I’ve been seeing you post more often on SRK so I know we’ll meet up again. We’ll definitely have to set time for casuals at next event. Were you in the Slash or DOA4 tourneys? I only did Slash singles and scrubbed out like usual. Need to get better at that game.
Exo: Reppin 3S teams/singles as usual. Way to run the event. Teams were seeded well and the event turned out really nice even if it lasted a long fucking time. You yelling back and forth at HNIC Eric about running 3S teams was hilarious. Way too many people came out for teams. Which was a good thing. Actually had more participants than singles. I think people were ready to go home by the end of teams any ways. :lol: Look forward to seeing your matches vs. J.Wong on video (my bad…I fell asleep on the floor, I got no sleep the night before).
B.More Chun: Good to meet up with you again. Nice to have another CVS2 money match. Don’t get much play in that game anymore unfortunately. Everyone’s moved on to more random stuff like 3S. LOL. Maybe we’ll see you at another C3 if you ever find some time.
Angry Black: Good to see you at the event again. Struttin the Holy Ghost gear for the big event. Didn’t get to see much of your play in 3S but it seems like you did well in just about everything you played.
Cajun Strike: Didn’t get to play any 3S casuals but I see you were busy reppin the SNK games. NGBC = free wins. Whoever that random poster was with the stupid avatar from Oklahoma…tell his ass he needs to come out to NC talkin all that ish bout YOUR GAME! :lol: Maybe I should get into NGBC…maybe.
Jamie Austin: Wuz good. Only got to holla at you real quick but good to see you come out. Saw you holding it down with Pink Testament during the tournament. Sooo hot. :lol:
Philly guys (Dream/Flare) : Good to meet up with you guys again and good shit running with the winners in 3S Dream. Way to hold it down with Chun. Pad scrubs FTW. Flare…good to get casuals in against you and continue to rep the other shoto.
Mario: Good shit almost OCVing Shinshay’s team. You really gave him a run for his money and it sucks that I had to scrub out against his Chun after your great display. Having a good stick definitley does help your game. Continue to rep 3S even if no one plays it over in Illinois. Next tourney you will definitely be a force.
BB Hood: Last but not least. Good shit taking out more or less the best anchor in 3S teams. That shit was hype. Way to not scrub out in 3S for once. Too bad you didn’t perform better in singles but teams definitely made up for it. Your Yun shit + KO Fiend = guaranteed money at NEC.
Anybody that I forgot…hit me up with those shout outs.
