Shoutout time!
Lord Hollow/The Branten/Above Omnipotent: It was great riding down there with you guys, and it was awesome to finally get to know you all. Thanks for everything. When you all dropped me off at home and said that I was a “part of your family now”, that meant a lot. Shoutouts to the rest of the MI crew that showed, and Wolfkrone, specifically. You had a good freaking run, man. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Train harder and come back even stronger next year, son.
EMP Andre/Dieminion/Evil Rahsaan: Shoutouts to all 3 of you, man. Specifically:
Andre: Good stuff on beating Daigo, obviously. But more than anything I appreciate it when we got to talking about the Bison/Sagat matchup and you gave me your number, to call you up for casuals later. And sonofabitch at 5am in the morning you came over and took the time out to do so. Much respect, sir, that was very classy.
Dieminion: That match with Demon Hyo was so close, I was super salty when I lost to him. Coulda chipped out that boy, lol. But when I got a tap on the shoulder from you I thought it was Demon Hyo about to start talking shit, but when I saw it was you I about shit my pants, lol. The compliments you gave me on my Sagat was taken to heart, and I appreciate it. The words you said are going to stick with me and motivate me to get better. Sucks we couldn’t play casuals, since Lord Hollow had to roll out to go to work the next morning. Next time we’ll just see if we can boot some people off a set-up if it’s getting that close to one of us having to head out, I’m sure they’d understand.
Evil Rahsaan: Your Hakan is scary. But dammit you know that I should have beaten your blanka if it wasn’t for them damn Madcatz SE parts. I know I did Kara TU, lmao. GS though, hope to play you again in the future.
Daigo: Thanks for taking my $20, lol. Free-est money I’ve ever given away. Was fun playing you though and realizing what I’m doing wrong in the Ryu matchup.
Alvarez/Burnyourbra: Awesome to finally meet you, and it was AWESOME hanging out with you and playing casuals. Both of y’all cool as hell, we’ll hang at the next major we make it to for sure.
FNEX Guys: Where were you at? Didn’t find any of ya. =/
Strogg/Gummowned: Was cool chilling with you guys while you were modding, even if the room was hot as hell. Bring a fan next time. 
BTW who won the puzzle fighter MM?
MrBlastyv2/Jessica, aka his girl: Had fun talking with both of you again, always a pleasure when I come out to OH to chill with you, even if it’s only for a few. I wasn’t aware that Jessica was your girl, Blasty, else I wouldn’t have slipped her my number like that, lol. Hopefully we’re straight, man. Gotta say though, she is a cutie. :3
Chauncy “Tru” Talon: Funniest guy I’ve ever met. That whole scene at McDonalds with Me/Shel/You/Alvarez/Burnyourbra was hilarious, and literally had me in tears. GS.
Kheel: Good shit on beating Marn with Makoto, ON PAD much less. Stick with your character, no matter what people say. She’s a threat if played correctly.
Sanford: Wish I could have played you in casuals, but it didn’t happen. When I tried to talk you kinda blew me off, but I believe there was a hype MvC2 match going on, so I should have known better than to try and talk during that. My bad, haha. Hopefully the next major we can play, I want to see what you can help me with in my Sagat play.
Good Lord, I can’t even remember everybody, lmao. If I forget you I’m sorry, but I’m sure I’ll remember more as time goes on. Haha. I might make a part 2 post if I remember enough. Tournament log/experience post will be coming. It was my first SB, and it won’t be my last. Shit was hype as hell, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Wish I could do it all over again.
