Glad I got to see everyone at EZ even if my play was not up to my own standards.

Winning may be more fun but you learn more from losing.

Enjoyed playing and hanging out with everyone at EZ. Was really happy with the turnout for T6 and Arcana.

Yo real talk Rob is the best Tekken player in the world. BEST IN THE WORLD.

good shit at EZ today…had fun running the tournament…I’ll probably just stick to that stuff since I can’t practice anything atm lol.

I was getting ownd

nice troll.

but damn if he didnt make things “interesting”. im too tired to type about all that went down RIGHT NOW, but best believe once i get some sleep and come back I WILL BE ADDRESSING the situation that went down.

EDIT: IF PEOPLE ARE STILL TRYING TO MAKE THE RESE TOURNAMENT, PLEASE CONTACT ME WITHIN THE NEXT HOUR!!!

Great tournament yesterday. GGs to everyone I played. Shit was run really well. You guys are going to need a bigger venue if you keep getting that kind of turn out.

Shout outs to Ling Xiaoyu and watches.

LOL!

Good games in Blazblue with Frank and MPT. It’s unfortunate that I did not get a chance to play against Zoogstin, but I am sure that my chance will come. Although the turn out of the tournament was small, it was still… decent.

:stuck_out_tongue: Next time, I’ll do whatever it takes to put games away instead of bunging up inputs and losing. Til next time!

Shit ran well if you were 1 of the 1st 4 tournaments that ran.

MvC3 starting around 11pm was fucking ridiculous and i have yet another reason not to attend any NC tournament’s unless its at Charlotte since they seem to be the only people who can run shit on time. I dealt with that mess once at Lucky’s with Guilty Gear starting at midnight a while back (hence why ive never gone back, despite being asked) and there’s no excuse for what happened yesterday.

The venue was awesome, seeing old faces is always nice, meeting/talking to new people was cool, the casuals were fun (GG’s to Samurai in particular and thanks to anyone that complimented my Doom)…but shit starting that late is unacceptable, especially for out of state travelers

8 games
98 entrants
9 hours (3PM-12PM)

You said Charlotte runs their tournaments better but are you making a fair comparison? Do they run that many games with that many entrants? Not even close, so of course it’s easy for them to get through a tournament faster.

Could you have done it better? I’m open to criticism but this is just hate. The tournament started slowing down after the first 4 games because of that T6 fiasco which took like 30 minutes to amend, then AE is a naturally slow game with a grand finals that took like damn near 45 minutes. Neither of those situations were under our control. I bet if the games you liked to play ran first you wouldn’t have even said that shit. Also MvC3 started closer to 10 not 11. If you had a problem with it then you should have brought it up to me at the venue, not on the damn forums a day later.

Results? Sorry I missed it.

I am completely unsure about the results for most other games, since I didn’t pay much attention to them. However, top three in Blaz was MadTeaParty ( came from losers ), Zoogstin and then myself. Frank came in fourth.

Must say, I was completely unexpecting Rachael in my first match against Frank. Luckily for me, I was able to buckle down and get him in losers. ( Forgot to say bye to all of them yesterday. So shout outs to them all. )

MPT and I had a grueling session in losers finals as well. In the end, my Valkenhayn choked, wiffed a combo I normally do not miss and he capitalized. The mistake is my own, but its still somewhat demoralizing to know that weeks, even months of training decided to fall short at the completely wrong moment.

Still can’t believe the “Tekken Fiasco”. Crazy shit seems to happen at tournaments. I don’t really have any opinion on what could have been better since you all said the tables thing might be able to happen next tournament which I think will run things better. If we get turnouts like that maybe just more setups and with adding tables outside the venue means more room to have more setups so overall that will fix most things but 9 hours for 8 games is pretty good, better than most majors and other tournaments i’ve been to. Especially considering the turnout.

ill just send you a PM rather than hash it out here

I came from out of state and was really impressed with the turnout last night. However, I would’ve appreciated if MvC3 started earlier but I saw that AE had like 50+ entrants and knew that was going to take up a big chunk of time. Not much you could’ve done about that with what was available with set-ups and with a lot of different games running. So it wasn’t a big deal to me and decided to just start heading home. Had a great time nonetheless especially playing PS2. Hope everyone made it home safe cause I almost fucked myself up heading back >.<
