yo, was thinking of driving up to P-town on Friday so i might drop by. quick question, is it only casuals or is there gonna be tournament(s)?
Hiya,
Weekly tournaments will probably only be Tuesdays. It doesn’t mean another one can spring up if people want it to on Friday, that’s the nice thing about the open platform of X Factor Fridays.
Weekly Tourney:
Our first first weekly tournament was a blast, packed house. Thanks to everyone for joining in, the tournament is free and you accumulate points for a prize to be determined later. It’s a fun casual way for new players to get more tournament experience, regular tourney players to test out new characters and strategies, and helps set a general head space for competing in a fun way.
Best Bout Beatdown:
From there, we highly recommend players attend the monthly Best Bout Beatdown, which is of course the big tourney/proving ground. This is the official ranking for players, a lot of fun and bragging rights : ) If you have been attending any of the Best Bout nights as well as entered the weekly casual tourney, we highly recommend attending Beatdown. This will also get you prepared for even larger region tournaments when they arise, and is simply a lot of fun and helps the cause.
Travel:
Also traveling to tournies outside Portland is good, with Seattle being so close we recommend the Salty Runback tournament. Playing people outside your normal group of players (ie the fishbowl) is key to improve, plus it’s great to meet other people in the scene. We are going to organize a carpool to the next one for all of those who are interested.
Our weekly events have been packed, appreciated again for everyone attending and supporting the scene. Portland is on the rise, it’s been a hell of a lot of fun so far. See you at the next one.
Exposed was the word from last night. Won’t name names, but certain peeps got hella exposed lol. In related news, BBH now stands for Big Booty Hakans. That’s how you get me to cheer for you again Matt. Thanks to the peeps involved in my 42 game win streak, beat my 40 game run from Friday. Was pretty good about not using Fei for most of the evening, but in other related news my Yun and Yang still suck. Fun times, I’ll do salty runbacks with anyone anytime. Arcane and Mack, I know yer out there let’s go
Announcing Throwdown Tuesdays Season 1
Just wanted to give a bit more detailed info about Throwdown Tuesdays. This weekly event now has a new format! It will be similar to “Wednesday Night Fights” by LevelIUp Series. Throwdown Tuesdays will now include a weekly tournament for both SSFIVAE and MVC3 (there will still be casuals going on). The tournament itself will be FREE to enter, and the winner of each game will get a cool prize like free entry the next time they come to Best Bout or another prize provided by 1 of our sponsors. Every player participating will earn points toward their overall standing in the season. Each season will last anywhere from 3-4 months, though it’s possible this first season will only last until EVO, then we will begin season 2 shortly afterwards. The will be grand prizes for the top 3 finishers of each season. The point system works like this:
1st: +8
2nd: +7
3rd: +6
4th: +5
5th: +4
5th: +4
7th: +3
7th: +3
All others: +1
The points will also be used to seed players for our premier monthly tournament “Best Bout Beatdown”. There will be a total of 8 players seeded. The top 4 from the previous Best Bout Beatdown, and the top 4 overall from Throwdown Tuesdays (who aren’t already seeded). The goal is to expand the number of players in Portland and raise our skill level by giving everyone more tournament experience. We are hella hype for this and hope you are as well. Here are the results from this week.
SSFIVAE
1st: Lord BBH +8
2nd: fatbear +7

Throwdown Tuesdays Season 1 starts now!!! Lesss Gooo!!!
It’s official. I’m switching to Hakan.
I see how it is…forget to put me in the bracket then straight to losers
Welcome to the coolest bandwagon ever
lol man I wish I would have seen those matches.
Also lolol @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=3LzurjG0dXE sigh… good thing I like Yang better then Yun, maybe I’ll just tier whore Yang all day hahaha.
Capcom better man up and patch this shit, though it does make me wonder if the disc release will have these problems(there is another glitch where when Yang gets KO’d his model freaks out similar to some mvc3 glitches) or if its just the DLC.
Edit: here is another example, this time against Zangief negating green hands and command grabs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNibBTBiKNE and heres a write up about it http://tetrasg.com/2011/06/17/ssf4ae-yang-wake-up-invincibility/
