Final Thoughts: I felt the tournaments ran pretty well, even CvS2 and it’s marathon we held on Saturday. I would like to thank John Choi for coming out to our event and I hope you had fun and have a safe flight back to Cali. There were lots of good matches going on in every tournament. GG’s to Hsien, Harvey and Gabe in CvS2. 
Best moments in the tournies for me were:
- Kevin Turner taking game one against John Choi
- David Hem making it to the finals of almost every game he played after not touching any of them for about a month
- Seeing old familiar faces, Skye, Logan, Adam, Mike, Gabe, Freddy, Tony, Mark, Ryan, Larry, Sungjin, John Minco, JW. Glad ya’ll could make it.
- Watching Jumpsuit Jesse breakthrough with Fei-Long in ST.
- Me and Gabe in the shortest matches in CvS2 History.
- Multiple R4 K-groove Haohmaru standing fierces.
- Harvey reppin the H-town skillz in 3rd Strike
- Nebraska and Colorado peeps coming down for 3rd Strike, thanks for coming down, hope ya’ll had fun and have a safe trip back.
- Goin K-groove at Nelson’s place
- Gettin hella no sleep
- Helluva lot of tight matches in MvC2
- Staying strong with Megaman in the tourney.
- Playing MST against Daniel
- Playing my original tournament team Megaman/Sent/Blackheart to end my tournament days.
- More things change, more they stay the same, first MvC2 tournament I placed 17th. My last one here, 17th, go fig :wtf:
- Watchin H-town represent in everything.
- Winning the MST vs MSP challenge with Creecy
I guess for now I’m hanging up my marking pen, no more trying to figure out where the hell to put out of towners on the bracket, or finding new ways to screw people over :wtf: I hate the thought of not having to plan and organize tournies, but I also love the saying “Never say never.” Perhaps I might help out Javi with another Texas Showdown. Only time will tell, I’d to take this time to thank everybody for showing up for the Regionals.
I apologize to the Tekken 4 players that showed up, there just wasn’t enough people to warrant a tournament. I hope everybody had a good time, good competition, and excitement all over the place. Special thanks to Javi, Cmutt, and all my little bracket and megaphone whores that helped me out(j/k) Thanks guys, I feel like I’m going out on a high note, and that feels good. Makes me almost not want to leave it. Only time will tell, catch ya’ll later!
Peace,
Chris Chou
you deserve it man Hugo for life.
WHEW!!!
