Congratulations to KillaKelly for winning the XBL tournament. Also, nice job to zer0finity for coming in second with his sim!
Thank you for running the tourney Sabez I appreciate it. It was great fun!
Looking forward to the next one and good games to all the participants.
Hope your connection gets fixed soon.
I want to apologize for not showing up to the XBL competition. I made the faulty assumption that it started at the usual time of 6 on Sunday. I should have confirmed the time with someone. I was at work today till six, so I couldn’t compete. My bad, guys.
When is the next tourney?
Thanks sabez. Also, thanks for having the tournament. It ran super smooth and didnt take very long. The 2 out of 3 sets were perfect and just like in a real tourney. Then for finals obviously a longer set. I really liked that format. I know for me playing the first to 5 stuff like in the past, i would pick other characters and see how i did with them and then if i couldnt hack it, i would change to my main. Also, with that it allowed for me and most likely others to feel out their opponent if they have not played them before. Doing it this way eliminates that and makes sure everyone is playing hard from the get go which is great, especially for me cause then the pressure is on and thats one of my biggest problems i need to overcome. Pressure and nerves just destroy my game and i was feeling it during the tourney and i think i handled it fairly well.
Zero, nice sim dude, very elusive and highly annoying, but annoying in a good way. Just dont get caught up in predictable patterns. You had 2 distinct patters you did, one of which i blasted you for being predictable with it and the other i just kept forgetting to punish. Like where you do IAT behind me do fp, land s.mk then flame regardless if the fp hit or not. You kept doing it and one of those times i was holding up i guess, and i noticed that the flame didnt connect after the blocked s.mk, which told me it wasnt safe. The very next time you did it and i noticed i blocked the s.mk i went for ultra but executed wrong and got something else that you beat out. then the next time bam i tagged you with ultra. But smart on your part, you didnt do it again when i had ultra, and actually you did s.mk and paused which i think i buffered my ultra but didnt hit the buttons looking to see if i would do it again. The other was when you would do teleport and then air far fierce then lend and standing mk or lk? combos for 2 hits, but when i would block the fp you still went for the standing kick. I just kept forgetting to counter that. Other than those 2 things i cant see anything that i noticed that wasnt good for you to be doing. fun games, i dont get to play good sims very often, cept for Fchamp and its been a while since we played. hope to play you again sometime, ive got alts that need sim practice badly.
so why wasn’t I told about this??? man I was online all weekend and didn’t hear a thing about this tourny…
Half the guys that was playing were on my friends list… Pls let me know something like this is going on next time around.
Thanks
Vegita-x…a.k.a IFC Zangief
the guys you should have contact you about the tournies are sabez30, Nemesys_Syndrome, and DarthPaul1982. one of those guys should know something about a tourney happening.
Honestly though, no offense to anyone here, but it would have been free for you. I had to work for my wins, but you scrape me for free. next time they have one ill hit you up, hell i should make room for you on my friends list cause you are one damn good gief and i need the practice.
I saw you send me a SFIV play req, I think I wanted to play you a while ago but the connection was 2 bars for some reason. Maybe we’ll try again? 
Damn, I completely forgot about the tournament!!!

This guy’s Zangief is ridiculous, I’ve only beat him twice out of the many games we have played (Over 40), but eventually when my footsies game gets better, I will be able to take more games from him. I tried watching the video of him Vs Daigo to try and understand the match up better, but it only helped so much.
