SUNROUTE CUP Results - 2/19-2/21 - Industrial Wasteland, CA

The whole experience was such a great time. Its hard to even express how nice it was to get a chance to go all the way out the southern California to play the best in the country. Everyone was so cool and it was a pleasure to get to speak with fellow 3rd strike players. Thanks to the denjin crew for throwing this badass event.

Although there was actually no Tekken (cuz Matt Chin lied :[ ) and drummania was locked up, props to Denjin for keeping 3S alive and running awesome tournaments. I wish (for Rom’s sake) NorCal had a 3S scene like yours. :[

Congratulations Justin on taking first in SFIV.

Denjin kids - thanks for having Rom, Ricky, and me out to eat with you guys; this weekend would have been garbage without that (not becuase of the tournament but various other reasons).

Pherai - you look like my dad.

Matt Chin - you look like Matt Chin. I will never forget your face after Rom embarassed me!

Bean - thanks for giving me the SoCal traffic tips, I wish I listened. :[

Yi - you drive too fast!

So did Justin not enter 3S singles?

justin wong didnt enter 3s.

Ya I didnt enter 3s. No car = no love

lol

Justin is lying. He skipped 3s to go enter a TvC tournament at FFA.

Ill be making a blog post in a few days with the experience I had this weekend and ill post a link to the 3 hour footage of MOV playing (that’s NOT including top 8) and a link to a word document or notepad of all the things I learned from him (I put all the info on my phone)

As of right now I’m waiting to get to a working computer in order to do all this so it’ll take a few days

But quick shoutouts to the denjin crew (vinny, carlos, matt, paul, yi, ken I, pherai, etc)

worth the drive.

shoutouts to everyone

4Y3: good looking out.

Had a really good time at this event. Good games to everyone I played. EC 3S needs to step it’s game up and for me this was a good indicator of what needs to be worked on, my game specifically.

Really good shit, we’ll probably come to the next big event that happens.

I just posted pictures from this past Saturday’s 3s Sunroute Cup here, I still have all the full resolution images. SF4 player pics will be up later. Sorry If I didn’t grab a shot of you, I either missed it, or the shot came out blurry IMO (and I can’t post crap work haha) Hope you enjoy, gimme some feedback!

(pictures were shot with a 50mm F/1.2 so don’t expect crowd reactions and such, I’ll need some new glass for that stuff)

everyone else from out of state: please come again, 3s for life!

to the regs: you know what’s up, see you guys soon

somethings i remember about mov tips before i forget:

mov did the DED technique with chunli lowjab as a counterpoke, he did it vs pyro or yi i can’t remember

also i was talkingn to ricky and he said that meaty uoh is really hard to block, he would often do it into rh into super, but even if whiffed i think you can do low forward for a very tricky high low mixup
