I want to thanks Grog, Mruphy, Klaige and the gang for a great afternoon and evening. Even though I worked my butt off on a few sticks I still got to play a few of these games for the first time. Someday I got to get me a PS3 and maybe a 360 so I can hit you buys up online.
The guy that won SF4, “I Like Pizza” was killer with Blanka. That guy is my hero as I used to main Blanka on SF2 WW. Now I get to work on Blanka for SF4 and SSF4.
One last thing the guy that won the joystick I raffled off was just totally shocked and on cloud 9. Props to him for hanging on to it. I know that someone was trying to buy it off of him.
Hah yeah thanks dude. I think I shook your hand after the finals. I’ve been a Blanka fan since World Warrior and play him in HD Remix/ST as well - though I only pulled 4th at this tourney in that game. He’s a biter!
If D-Ra sells that stick i’ll personally hurt him.
Had a good time overall. Sorry I had to jet early but kids > games. It was good to finally meet you Travis. I really need to learn someone besides I-no. The Testament matchup is wtf heh.
Yes you did. I made a point to got up and say hi and congrats. Keep working with Blanka. He may be difficult to work at times but you proved that he is top tier.
I was working very hard to try and get that stick. I’m just gonna have to order one off you outright. I really do admire your work and will send you a PM about it soon.
Shout outs:
Iowa in general: You guys are good people, I ran into too many to list but Griff and the kid in the blue durango get a special thanks for carting me around town.
Grog: Thanks for inviting me to and putting on such a fun tourney as well as giving Illinois a crash pad for the weekend. I will try my best to return the favor.
Sam and Murph: Great job keeping shop, I can’t imagine how frustrating keeping tabs on stuff like that can be. Everyone appreciates the work you guys do (Grog you are included in this).
Everyone that I played: Losta interesting and fun matches. My apologies for anyone that had to play my pathetic self in 3s, sorry I’m so awful these days.
SFIV to the Akuma(sorry can’t recall your name) and Gief (Derrick from MN?) good games for sure. Derrick(?) extra thanks for the casual rematch, you are very good sir.
HDR: Grog knocked me out, vengeance is coming Charlie.
Haha… yeah. I’m not sure what happened with the whole sleeping on the floor thing. I just woke up around like 1 and was super confused.
