It wont happy again trust me I will have a better system in place by my next tournament. Stuff like brackets on the walls you can see, loud speakers and I few other things.
I liked the security guard that was there on Saturday. He saw my wristband one time and never asked me again after that. He must have just knew the only guy in there with a business suit could afford entry into NEC. :lol:
The guy on Sunday made me show him my band like 4 times though.
yea im RLY sorry about that…ill pay you like $50 next time i see you which should be more than enough for both nights considering like there was 6 ppl or so in the room…you dont know how much i appreciated that
ill be sure to pay you next time the moment i get in instead
he was doing that shit ALL DAY no matter who it was he didnt give a fuck
if i saw that guy do a karakusa in the corner i looked at the other player, shaked my head like so :shake: and said in my head “oooh boy you’re soo fucked” :chainsaw: then yea you know what happened lol
Deadass, I just picked Makoto vs you in casuals at the hotel only to do those 2 kara karakusa’s for a lol.
You have my word that NC will be back in full force for NEC11 3rd strike. Someone pointed out how much happier I was playing rusty 3rd strike compared to when I was playing SF4 casuals. :wasted:
Nice meeting all of you guys from all over the place! :karate:
Shoutouts to the SoVA cats for making this trip possible for me.
gs to eric and everyone who made it out to this event it was mad fun
fun times on the clown bus with great friends, drug bust was too funny
ggs to all i played
smiley - “its a glorious december for MA”
Yo, first and foremost, shoutout to the dude that’s dating the chick in the hat and the booty shorts. YOU BETTER HOLD THAT SHIT WHILE YOU GOT IT MAN.
Also, shoutout to my great teammates MagnetoManiac/chillindude, we got some tough breaks, and I fell apart in a mirror that I never thought I could lose that badly, my fault on that one. Shoutouts to Room 431/phirry-one’s room, all you philly guys are great.
Much love to Eric Kim/Steve Harrison for being repping MD/VA in top16, wish me/lud/inerd couldve been up there with you but this bracket was full of killers. Solid players getting knocked out early. This is probably the end of MD/VA SF4 until super, the game has been on it’s last legs down here as is so I’ll look somewhere else to level up in the meantime.
“JUST FINISH THE COMBO STOP GOIN FOR THE LOOP”

Thanks to all the local guys from tekken keeping me company and helping me out throughout singles at my first major : moroha, xbrian, millionz, turk , grimey, muffinman, word
I’m a little salty how they handled DQ, I came when i was announced and then i was told i was dq’d which knocked me out at t-49th. oh well.
All the T6 community from NYC/ATL/Philly was really awesome too in casuals, no one was a dick and everyone was willing to help out
Henaki, was cool to meet you, i’ll bring more alky next time lol
MDVA in room 423 and everyone on the 4th floor it was a great time.

Mr. Ben Fong (networkingyuppy) it was nice to meet up with you man, you were totally chill and finding each other was hilarious, great way to have a first introduction. Thanks for throwing the mic to me all random as hell as well :lol:
DevilJin, were you the Viper I played against in SF4 singles? If so I was the Feurte player who won the match, let me know if that was you. Or whoever it was, pretty sure you were in a suit. :lol:
MonoTekETeA, nice buttons man, I needed those colors so I appreciated it. Thanks for the rep on my Fuerte!
Philly-One, thanks for keeping you room open to everyone, that was mad cool of you.
keninblack, mad premo love man, I want you to become an even more gdlk player in the future, please don’t stop playing games. Also no hate on 3S man, it’s old as hell but it’ll never die :lol:
Boleslaw, nice to randomly meet you man, too bad I was 1/2 asleep when we were talking or else I might’ve been a bit more chatty. Also lol @ me spilling coffee on myself.
Skisonic, thank you for the amazing Fuerte mirror match, kind of sucks that we had to play each other though, I too wish they’d seed character that only like 4 people play as :lol: Thanks for also giving me the recognition on the stream. Oh yeah your hat was sweet btw.
Big E, thanks for organizing the event, your room was SO DAMN BIG. Thanks for the offer of a little water, you know how to show some real class and hospitality.
Sanford, hope you liked using my Dan stick during your MMs, you hit start+select and paused the game like crazy though. :lol:
DSP, I recorded that match of yours with your monitor dying randomly, that shit was hilarious, I’ll be uploading it soon.
Thanks to Seb for randomly talking to me and telling me all about how the stream works, I’m always interested in the technical aspects of gaming stuff because of my computer related career so I appreciated it. Also next time bring more shirts.
Thanks to Justin to telling me where he got his SF4 Snuggie.
Thanks to Joe for giving me a killer pose for his picture. You looked so damn lost walking around, but you had a nice comeback when I mentioned it to you.
And most of all THANKS to all the 8otb peeps, you DA BEST! I was rooting for all of you guys! Can’t wait to go out 0-2 to you guys soon. :lol:
I believe I put you into losers.
therapist?
You ass fuck you forgot me, and i was with you lol.
uhh yeah my experience:
i honestly have to say i did pretty bad in most tournaments because i
just didn’t train in a lot of stuff, though that’s my own fault but i
still had a great time, and now realized my best character is bob in
tekken, not lee.
gotta start training with bob, almost took out that armor king there.
sf4 i did pretty terrible but hey its seth, seth is garbage, but i beat
out a guy named charlie brown, was playing zangief so you all know how
that one went, then fought meattruck, lost to his dhalsim,
unfortunately full brackets aren’t up so i have no idea what i placed.
My other buds Ryder, and Kooper did
pretty well, koop being in top 30, and ryder JUST missing out on top 16.
My man Justin won of course, with some pretty good matches with
Flash metroid, but flash was sick as hell beating out LI Joe AND
Sanford in a row, so yeah crazy shit!!!
lost sf4 teams, bb teams, mvc2 low tier(thought i was gonna take this
one), ggac, doa3, doa4, 3rd strike, sc4, all pretty bad. HD remix was
bs too because i got sent to losers without even being notified the guy
said he called my name but he didn’t even have a mega phone, and i was
competing in three other tourneys. oh well lost that one too.
the tourneys of notice that i performed great in were melty blood and
bb, melty blood i honestly thought i was gonna take but i guess i gotta
play more people, and learn how to fight more styles, with aa being so
diverse, but it was nonetheless a good time and a great experience, was
too afraid to use neco arc chaos, so i stuck with my main nero both
full and crescent style, beat out some cheater who claimed to know the
rules and i fought that match without button mapping which was
allowed(meaning a+d as one button for example, i do this all the time,
and it was allowed but i beat the guy anyway), and beat loli sauce too,
but lost to some aozaki player, out ranged me. placed 25th out of who
knows how many tied with lots of peoples but still high.
BB was my second best performance, i still proved to myself
that i am good most def in that game no matter how big the comp is.
placing 17th out of from what i was told 120 entrants or so made me so
freaking happy. i even took out rei, i think he is a top player, him
and lord knight were in my room the other day and he was taking down
lord knight back and forth, and i even did very well against lord
knight myself, went one one and then almost beat him had i held my GETB
but i didn’t cause i tend to do that and lost.
but i took out rei in the tourney, he plays a fantastic bang. Alzarath took this so he really is the best in east coast, but i respect him whole heartedly and he
knows that lol.
My absolute best performance was none other than:
SHAQ FUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!
Its actually official, i am now the world champ of Shaq-Fu, and i
whole my title so seriously lmfao. Some guy wanted to play me for MM
for all my tourney winnings but i said nay, i am shaq-fu!!!, lol i gotta
defend my title at evo now!!!
in the end it was an experience i’ll never forget, def the best tourney
i’ve ever been to, if you missed out, you missed a great one, but hey
there’s always next year, so i’ll catch you all later!!!
Pics where? Haha, I had a blast. Thanks for having me!
