TK had about 20 competitors so it all concluded on Saturday.
1st Bronson Tran
2nd Emphy
3rd K30

Ricky Ortiz in short shorts posing with Daigo for pics. So godlike.

Uh…that’s not quite accurate. CVS2 had 14 or 15 entrants, and apparently none of the other top players knew about it, 'cause it could’ve gotten up to a 32 man bracket or close to it, at least.

Unofficially, based on my memory, results are:

  1. Leezy
  2. AkumaForce
  3. Johnny
  4. 2000_watts
  5. Tyram
  6. Tommy
  7. Starkilled (who is now the non-Senor Payaso, should’ve been at least 5th 'cause he bodied Tyram and then went home)
  8. Aaron P.
  9. Aaron H.
  10. Cookye
  11. Christian
  12. Guy I can’t remember right now
  13. Elric E.
  14. Arhmon
  15. Mike M.
  16. Bye

2000_watts has the bracket, so he can correct these results if he feels like it.

BRONSAN TRANNN! furgot ncr was today happend to see it on stream. Was more excited bout ssf4 than mvc3 tho.

congrats to Tyram making it so far in cvs2! must have been salty about last years money match

So I got bodied in every single game. FU

Oh well, I had fun. Shoutouts to John Choi and Co. for a fun tournament… shoutouts to Tinh and Ray for doing well in Marvel and representing both Sactown and Norcal… and shoutouts to Daigo (yet again) and Seth for playing RPS with me :smiley: - thanks for recording, Fudd!


My respects towards anyone who worked getting CvS2 together, despite all the commotion and the cramped space. Got a bit salty after losing my first match (fuckin E Honda) but I really did have a great time playing along with all the casuals.

Guessing Johnny Beat you LOL… Only CVS2 Honda I have ever met

BTW anyone doing a props and slops for this tourney?

Good games to everybody on Saturday! I was doing so well against Champ and took out Phoenix with Felicia. Note to self: block high against carpet lol. I couldn’t stick around for Sunday, but I had a lot of fun. See everybody at EVO!

P.S. Street Fighter X Tekken is the best game ever. :3

Shoutouts to flies.

fun times. thanks for everyone that contributed to making NCR happens.

BTW, just an informal poll, does anyone get a sorethroat on saturday?

I know at least three people did (that includes me)

Needs better air circulation…

Shoutouts to everyone that showed up to room 332 to play some 3rd Strike, AE and Marvel 3. Was a fun ass night. I have a few photos I took that I’ll put up. This NCR was even better than last NCR. I want one of those SFxT Madcatz sticks now!

Edit: heres some pix from the third strike stuff in my room on the cab: http://bitkid.imgur.com/GW0H4

Shout outs to FUCK MARN for the shit he was talking.

Good games everyone! I enjoyed the tournament and meeting a lot of cool people!

It was cool to get in matches with Detrimantix, Daigo, Noel Brown, and many others, I hope any time you guys are in norcal you stop by for more games!

Thaguy is beyond awesome for sponsoring my money match, I’ll pay you back when less broke!

Bitkid’s also beyond awesome for cab/room/set up goodness!

Great tournament, definitely worth a 5 hour drive up there! Met some nice people, and despite the gnats, heat, and cramped ballroom at times… really well run, and definitely a fun experience. Really nice hotel too! Shoutouts to Crackfiend, John Choi, Honzo Gonzo, Hiro, Orlando, and all of you NorCal cats. See you at EVO!

One quick question though: I managed to win a Tritton AX 720, and I was curious as to how Champ sets his up for tournament use. I heard someone mention he uses an adapter, or a different decoder box, looking to emulate something like that so I don’t have to plug the damn AC adapter into the Xbox/PS3 every match. That’s too annoying.

Overall, had a great weekend. Thanks for having us!

Team Korea: I quit Tekken cuz I was sick of being bodied by Koreans and in the past week I’ve been OCV’d in SFIV teams by Team Korea twice. I thought Japan was supposed to have leadership in this game; then again Wolfkrone isn’t Korean I suppose. :< Good shit guys! Or “chookahaeyo” or something I guess.

Alice: I respect that Rog. We both gotta pick up alternates so we wont have to mirror match again haha.

Team Pup n Scrubs: Stay free at Peggle and Dominion. Congratulations bbjuju on top 8 singles.

GGs to everyone over the weekend!!!
