We didnt play at all at NEC but in the immediate future weâll bump heads guarunteed!

3rd Strike Singles vids!!!
Okay everyone, here is the list of matches that I have:
Winners bracket:
Shinshay (KE) vs Tinshi (OR): Tinshi nice meeting you. Have to play more casuals next time.
Shinshay (KE) vs KOFiend (YA): Many close matches in this vid. KOFiend Yang Lockdown is no joke
Quotes (MA) vs Juicy G (KE): Nice Ken from JG here. I really wanted revenge on him though for
taking me out in winners during NEC 5
MDPhil (KE) vs Flare (RY): Flare has a solid Ryu. Wish we couldâve played more casuals.
Justin (CH) vs Steve H. aka Angry Black: Angry Black has a solid Chun, but of course Justin just
manages to squeak by with the win :tdown:
Justin (KE) vs PVFP (AL): yes folks two interesting things here⌠This is the one and only Pat Van
fucking Pelt (EC CVS2 Qualifier) against Justin Wong, but waitâŚJustin is using Ken
Winner Finals:
Justin (CH) vs Shinshay (KE): Curse you Justin⌠itâs been like 4 years and I still canât win over you
. Damn I ainât gettin any younger so I might have to retire and take the L. :sad:
Losers bracket:
Eric K (MA) vs KOFiend (YA): Nothing but action packed 3rd strike in this match as Eric Kim introduces
the Makoto âWTFâ Combo.
KOFiend (YA) vs CB (YU): Honestly, Iâve never heard of CB until this tourney and he brings a textbook
, but very solid Yun to the table. Underestimated him in the team tourney, but look forward to playing him in
the future.
KOFiend (YA) vs Exodus (KE): Yes, here it is folks the rivalry continues.
Loser Finals:
Shinshay (KE) vs Exodus (KE/YU): Alas, the Maryland dynamic duo have to face each other again.
Currently missing the Grandfinals between Justin and Khang. Very hot shit coming from the both of them as the
final score of the match was 4-3 Justin. Very solid Chun and Yun action here.
Also missing is my winners bracket match with Exodus that Xenozip has. Really looking forward to seeing that,
although Exodus wasnât playing his hardest :sad:. Alright thats enough from me so enjoy.
Thanks Jeron, that gives me more inspiration to go on with my career in street
fighter Like I said Iâm going to be repping 3s Alex and VS until the day I die no
matter what. Xenozip, do you by any chance have the team tourney match of me I
really got to see it. I also hope to face your Ibuki sometime in the future.
Shinshay, thanks for uploading those matches Iâm going to watch them right now.
Hope to face off with you again sometime.
Peace out
[Mario Gomez]

Eric- Man The ultimate props for you being so open-minded to let all this stuff happen. You were running around with your head cut off as most organizers do and I have nothing but respect for you handling a situation like that and making it run VERY SMOOTHLY. You get all the praise and the bad, but I think you deserve all the credit for this. I couldnt have done my part for the SNK scene had you not been kind enough to let me run the tournies etc. Thanks once again man for the tourney hopefully you made enough to have it again next year, I will surely be back up there again next year.
Oscar/THE ANSWER: See Oscar now Iâm just like The NC Crew, I can taste the trophy in NGBC and I feel I can taste it in KOFXI⌠Our little MM and Red Bull Rematch reaffirmed me that I sure can taste itâŚlike I almost tasted that damn Red Bull and Cheeseburger hahaha. Hope you made it back to Cali again and take 3 months off you earned itâŚMarch wil be the time when our little MMâs resume play for all to witness once again!!!

I enjoyed my time at NEC on saturday because that was THE BEST DAY! Low tier marvel rocked the house and was the star attraction at NEC7. I loved how everyone came with their own skills and new talent instead of the usual BS top tier crap weâve seen for the past 6 years. (BORING!!!) Gabrial, and VDO made low tier marvel so exciting on saturday with those grudge matches they had. The mummy is too sick! Much props to both players for being so innovative!
Props to all my peeps coming from out of town and making NEC7 enjoyable.
Justin W, those were indeed slimy low tier teams we picked haha! Josh W, awsome losers finals we had in low tier.
Props to Big E for running NEC7 and hope we have a march madness to keep the fun alive!
P.S. TOP TIER MARVEL IS OFFICIALLY DEAD! MAKE WAY FOR LOW TIER!
horray, my roomie finally finished the last two vids (for those who care); I dunno if thisâs where i put this shit, but bleh, its NEC related.

TEAPIRE
jeron: wtf, 17 players for vs? man you LUCKY i wasnt there homie! hehe. good shit holding that game down tho. but damn, 17 players, how did yall manage that? thats tight. i still love me some vampire, but you know, fuck sasquatch. that is the one character that truly pisses me off in that game now haha. always gotta be one. and im suprised no one used him heh
QFT!!!
however the rules need to be tweaked a bit for sureâŚ
and good shit to you playing low tier against me in marvel tourney haha, too good, you always rape my shoto though :arazz:
Shout, shout. Let it all out!!
Wow, this was my first NEC event and despite it being ALL CONSOLE this shit was rather tight.
**
Eric & staff:** good ish keeping thangs running smoothly. The Forman burgers was a nice touch .
Spooky: Cant thank you enough for inviting me to attend this out-tastic event. MB tourney was this shizznizjdhfabildfn. Kinda knew we were going to be in the finals cus we so gotdamn beastly. Thanks for being patient w/ the MB noobs and helping them out cus I suck at explaining stuff. Good shit bumping me in MB pre-lims now just hurry up and take my MB crown, bish.
Go Team Bloody Tuna Melt!
Dippy/Kumu: Im glad you decided to take some time off to attend NEC. I hope you took back some insight for MB and will continue to take/play it seriously now. It was fun chillinâ w/ you and you managed to adapt to the âghetto menatalityâ rather fast. Your attempt to convince me that 3d fighters are fun almost worked. Guess youâll have to try harder next time. TGA, bish!
Tinshi: I glad youâre really getting into MB now. Im sure once you total more than 24 for hrs of actual play youâll notice the improvement. dont be so angry w/ yourself cus it takes sometime to adjust to rushdown/traps/etc. And for the love of god, please USE YOUTUBE for MB info. Nice matches we had in 3s (i still hate oroâs short ass =p).
Chibi: I knew there would be 10+ ppl for MB by default. Good shit orgainizing the tourney and getting others to keep things together. beef up that hisui so next time Team BTM DOMINATES the brakets. Pishi! btw Good ish in VS you learned some new stuff w/ the cat since the last tourney.
Zaelar: Play melty bloodâŚmore . and stop laughing in your sleep.
Jeronnnnnnnn: mah nigga. TF has been revived for the umpteenth time. this guy pulled a TF 12 man (?) tourney out of his ASS. It was originally supposed to be a 5-man RR event but somehow you managed to bait ppl into entering (2$ !!). good stuff, mang. TF is the jesus of fighting games. As long as you belive, it will have ever-lasting life. viva la tf revolution!!!
gbursine (aka G. Burnsie): man i cant say your name right =p. my bad about sucking it up in VS. I came into the VS tourney half-hearted. It wasnt about me being stubborn, i just wasnt into it. My training for the past couple of mths was soley dedicated to melty blood. entering VS unprepared was an insult to all of you and i apologize. Iâll make it up to you w/ some hard core training (no homo) if i can find the time to hook up w/ jeron or shag. next time, burnsie.
DarkGeese: lol the first guy i met on the NEC site. He was thirst to find some gamers (preferably snk headz). well, i hope NEC gave you all the snk action you were looking for. Your generic yun shot down my notions about snk players. nice job holding the team down for a few wins in 3s. watching XI got me interested so dont be surprised if you see me playing next time. If youre not too caught up in snk, hit up that MB training mode. i want to see you fuck shit up next time w/ warc.
Kayin: fun playing your nanaya in casuals. IâLL CUT YOU UP!!
Mynus: Keep playing MB cus i wanna see some houses get cleaned.
Random Arc Player (BHood ?): for someone who has no access to MB comp that arcuied was serious! It sucks that you dont live in the area. The local community could use more beasts.
AlexG: nice to see akiha get some âburnâ lol. next time rush that shit DAWUN!
RushedDown: it was fun playing you in TF. we gotta get in some more games next time we meetup. gotta bomberman it up too.
Exodus: i dont care what you say, your ibuki is NICE. teach me some ghetto ass ninja mind tricks, ok. oh, and wake up crouch short, sa3 w/ ken is top-tierâŚPSYCHE!! fuckinâ bullshit, man. good shit tho. what happend to yun?
DevilJin: man, i wanted to play you in like 1,000 ibu mirror matches but MB owned my soul the whole time. iâll have to steal some strats from you another time. cough play melty blood cough.
Dude that ran TF on his PC: I love you man (no homo x infinity). I dont think anyone else would have cared enough to let us run such a poor ass game on their pc. im glad you decided to enter as well and it was fun playing efz again. Saitek OWNS ALL CONTROLLERS ever invented.
If there was someone I forgot, you can beat me up next time you see me.
~Zar The Biscuit
hah, lukus, people are calling me a scrub⌠
i need to prove them wrong so bad hehe, talk to me when you know your exact plans this weekend, if we can get some games in, we definetly need to record this manâŚ
You need to get your funny avatar having self to a tournament. :lol:
GOOD SHIT EVERYONE.
Seriously, this was the best tourney Iâve ever been to, Iâmm gonna be sure to show up next year because this shit was seriously awesome.
Great job md, nice that you reppin hard! Glad that eric lee and paige can still hang and md is on the scene. Good job exodus and i look forward to playin you guys some time.
