Yeah this was an odd day…
Highlight Of The Day: Coming 3rd in CvS2
Low Point Of The Day: Losing winners semis to Gerjay because of Sauga Sticks.
Line Of The Day:
Anant: “I’ll bet you a quarter Tyler wins.”
Me: “WTF am I doing to do with a quarter?”
Gerjay: “Buy candy?”
I figured we’d get a decent crowd today based on who said they were going to show up over the course of the week. I was pretty disappointed that Team White Boys V1 didn’t come but otherwise we had a good turnout.
MARVEL VS CAPCOM 2
Vs Teddy (1st Round): This is a match I’m going to have nightmares about. First match I blew not one, not two, but THREE different opportunities to ice the game with Storm and watched my lead evaporate. Second game was tight and I got Invincible Boots to smoke Teddy’s Sentinel and Capcom at once. Third game I get pissed because the one game I actually beat Teddy in for a tournament wasn’t taped. I get stupid not caring anymore and get run over. Whatever…
Vs Shumayel (2nd Round - Losers Bracket): Shu ran away with Storm until I got frustrated and started chasing with stupidity. He smoked me both games with the same strat.
CAPCOM VS SNK 2
Vs Teddy (1st Round): Despite what Teddy thought, this wasn’t revenge for Marvel. This was actually revenge for the bullshit broken stick win he’s been holding over my head for the last couple months. Anyway, both games were 2CV’s (never saw R2 Vega IIRC).
Vs Shumayel (2nd Round): Shu runs A Ken/Rolento/Bison and both matches were pretty tight but Vega > Bison once you get pinned in the corner and don’t RC reliably. I take this two straight.
Vs Gerjay (3rd Round): Once again we meet in Winners Semis and it’ll probably go this way every time we play in a Skybox tourney. Gerjay takes the first game with Sakura doing all the damage. Second game looks the same but I made the big comeback with Vega and pinned him down in the corner. Third game I make the comeback again with Vega. We both had no health left, the timer was running out and I turtle waiting for a poke. The poke comes and the stupid 2p side still doesn’t low block properly on the left and I eat the c.hp. GG’s though both Gerjay and I know I got scammed.
Vs Anant (4th Round - Losers Bracket): I’m stuck on the 1p side that has no medium kick. That pretty much kills Guile and Vega dead so I switch my team to C Yuri/Chun/Kim. We go even until Kim comes out and I rush him down. Anant kept trying to JD my c.lkx3 and kept eating it and the Triple Kick follow up.
Vs Tyler (5th Round - Losers Bracket): Tyler runs K Kyo/Hibiki/Athena after switching his last team off but it didn’t really matter. He ate a ton of backfists and for some reason fell for roll Flash Kick a lot. Anyway, I never lost the lead and Vega cleaned it up. I need to play Tyler more so I adjust when I throw out pokes that aren’t JD’d.
We didn’t finish the tournament but considering it was only Roger, Gerjay and myself left we all agreed on how it’d breakdown and I take my 3rd place for the 2nd tournament in a row at Skybox.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Teddy pulls one of the biggest comebacks I’ve ever seen on Ramy. :wow:
Ramy’s new Egyptian Tactics were too good. :tup:
Hayvren doesn’t defend The Master Of The Universe Title. :tdown:
Matt comes out of nowhere and wins a money match with Ramy while I bankroll him for no reason. 
Wilson is the fucking future of CvS2. I have no doubt in my mind. :nunchuck:
Crazy matches in CvS1 between Tyler and Anant. 
Psychochronic wouldn’t leave me alone the entire day then he tries to scam a ride off me? :wtf:
GG’s to everyone today. Thanks to everyone that came out and made this a fun way to burn the afternoon. :pleased:
