My first NEC and it was pretty good (Saturday I was pretty salty the whole time)
Props to Big E for running this.
Jibbo and Ariez - Awesome to meet you guys and talk about our old man, Gen.
Rico Sauve - I know you’re salty about playing on stick on the ps3. Hope you won’t hold it against me No lie, I have to take a few hours on one system to prepare because my piano-ing gets fucked up if I don’t. If you’re down challenge me on xbox for some games.
Paul Wall - Hate having to travel 5 hours to get eliminated by a MA player, but it’ll happen I guess!
FADC - Always good shit recording and showing the world what the community is like!
Not yet. I’m not sure if John’s been in contact with the hotel yet. But I’m fairly certain that the guys who took it are fucked if they don’t get it back to us. And its a LOT of money so its definitely grand larceny. So if they don’t do the right thing its straight up jail time.
But we need to run shit back soon. Maybe if I can make it to the next BFA?
We saw someone with that same shirt when I took some people out to Duff’s for Buffalo wings at the Buffalo major in November, I thought the same thing at the time lol. No idea if it was somehow randomly the same guy, I mean it WAS a videogame tourney so…
1st. Demon Hyo (any team that was needed to win lol i suck in that game now. It’s all about SSF4!)
2nd. Smoothviper (Scrub, santhrax, msp Smooth doesn’t play anymore either so he was going off pure memory lol. Ggs to him)
3rd. Rick Mears (Classic team josh wong, blackheart, sent, commando he just picked it cause he’s just as bad as I am and went with whatever worked that day lol ggs to rick as well)
4th. Josh 360/baby wolverine 360 used (mag/IM/sent) Wolverine used (santhrax)
But personally I think bryheem and smooth won marvel cause without them it wasn’t exciting lol. Funniest shit talk of the year!! Philly vs Nyc make fighting game rivalries what they are today!! All in good fun though.
Thanks man, you’re way too kind. I was on some kinda shit for those matches haha. Your tweleve is awesome too. Keep up with it.
SHOUTOUTS:
Big E: Eric, you always run the best tournaments and they get bigger and better every year. Keep up the good work, i’ll always be there!
State College Crew: You guys are awesome and thank you a ton Scott for letting me and company crash in your room. I’ll have to buy you a drink or something next time I see you. You’ll also have to come down to Doylestown and play on that Japanese Head to Head THIRD STRIKE cabinet. Boleslaw, always nice to see you, better luck in Blood Bowl next time eh? Dennis, glad I finally got to meet you. Hope to see all you guys again sooner than later. SC rulez.
Iapetus: thanks for coming dude, glad you finally got to make it out to NEC. Too bad we didn’t do so hot in ST teams but I havent played st in awhile. Next time! SF4 made me forget guile was good . (good shit mars, also awesome vagabond shirt.)
Comeback/Ehonda: Thanks for running ST guys, I love the ST community almost as much as 3S. Keep doing your thangs. Always cool seeing you guys.
Exodus and SJC: thanks for running 3s and getting most of the tournament recorded. Considering the madhouse it was I thought you both ran things great. Hope to see you guys again next year (or sooner). Good shit in singles Exo and nice to offically meet you SJC.
Rockman and B-Money: You guys are my heroes. Urien players are sick. Both of you guys are underrated I feel. Nice seeing you again, catch you at the RANBAT?
Keninblack: I know we didn’t talk at the tournament but you were pretty damn impressive I must say. You’ll be aces in no time at all. Keep it up!
Cambodian Kevin aka TOMO X: It was awesome seeing you at a tournament finally… or just seeing you in general, mr international man of intrigue! You did well in all the games you entered it looks like so big props. You’ll have to enter more tournament and people will be feeling the UPPAH CUTTTTTTTTTT! :encore: Hope to see ou in Doylestown at Siren so we can play more 3S on the H2H cab. It’ll be sick!
Theracist and Frare: Thanks for teaming up with me. NEXT TIME. I feel like we had a legit chance of taking it all in teams but we slipped on the fucking banana peel. Either way you guys are both awesome but you both already know that! P.S. Fuck PS2. :nono: Next time our team name will have to be “Alien Iverson” or “The Answer”. Also props to Flare for stealing from the atm at subway.
EVERYONE WHO PLAYED THIRD STRIKE: A lot of people to name so I’ll do a general shoutout. You guys are all the shit. Nice meeting everyone there and keep it up. 3S will still be kicking as long as you all still play. Let’s put on a show and show everyone why 3S is the most BRIRRIANT and best game ever and get them onboard the 3S train.
to everyone i met and talked to this weekend (alot of names i missed or have forgotten due to being bad with names lol) thanks for the kind words, gaming advice, and just all around good times that i had this weekend.
this tournament was TOO good. upsets, dissapointments, randomness, and just all around awesomeness. Big E is the man, much respect, much gratitude
3S - 40 people? who plays this dead game? GODLIKE FUCKING PEOPLE PLAY IT. im glad VA and MD finally entered, 3rd strike isnt dead, it’s undead.
im still a tekken scrub, hopefully i’ll change that and they will think twice after disqualifying me literally in the 11th hour.
GGAC - i actually think im gettin better, seein that many people in a GG tourney made me want to hit up training mode the minute i got home. I passed out instead.
SF4 - um… I’m hype for Adon
NEC is too godlike. eric thanks again for always runnin the best events in this region, u better bet im at Winter Brawl. I wonder if these hotel staff hate the hell out of us for creating so much havoc?
BIIIIIGGGGGG props to Eric for another NEC. I dont know where you get the energy but all your hard work is appreciated. ill always support your tournies.
Props to Exodus for running 3s. always good to see you that “one” time every year lol
Big Whattup to the NYC 3s crew. You guys refuse to let your skills in that game diminish. the level you guys are at is just crazy. good times as usual fellas
Tweleve i had to leave earlier than i planned i had way to much work stuff to do. but im down to hiy up Gino’s for a cheesteak anytime lol
Sweetjohny Cage- thanks for recording 3rd strike. hope you get all your stolen goods back or the fucks who took it get punished. Thefts at tournaments are getting out of hand.
Javits/Francisco- You know what it is. You guys are my tourney family for real. 09 tourney season was a blast. Finding the balance between work/family/wifey and gaming was tough for me this year but you two always had me in the know
Props to all the other 3s players. alot of us are not what we used to be in the game but its still fun.
Big Hi to eveybody i chilled with this weekend. too many to list. See yall at the next one
Justin- thanks for the rufus tips and good luck in Cali
Empire- good shit. Mike Infinite had me in tears with the yelling
Next time i think ill actually put in the Rufus time before i unleash him in a tourney cuz Steve H dont play that
No lie, I have to take a few hours on one system to prepare because my piano-ing gets fucked up if I don’t. If you’re down challenge me on xbox for some games.
