These team matches:

Team Jurassic vs. Team Fight Bros.

If you haven’t been out to a tournament wars…next week will be the one you’ll want to start showing up and checking out.

:rofl: One: I was all quiet because I’ve been out for a majority of the day, and I was hella tired. Two, who said I had any shame about it? Hahah

Fun night. I am going to stay for the next event till the end. Probably try to bring my brother and some non-SF friends too. Next week needs to be a blowout.

ESL vs TDP was so awesome. Seeing Mikhail last night compared to about a month ago when he started regularing at Gworks was pretty dope. All of them keeping level heads even moreso. Good show.

Here’s a playlist of the Singles matches we recorded for anyone interested.

Regarding Nolan’s match against Sherwin, doesn’t Akuma pretty much own Abel? I remember playing against Carlos at gameworks where I accidently picked Abel, and all he did was the loop on me, and I couldn’t do jack.

I think it’s a 4/6 in Akuma’s favor but I don’t have any experience with it myself.

^I think it’s worse than that but you have to know the match up and the opselects…also what abel can do to prevent HK spam (sLP/sLK/sMP) and know when to sweep…Also the demon flip throw/palm mind game is something you have to be reading you opponent with constantly…I think it’s abel’s worst match-up right after zangief. I think it’s worse than 6-4 but it comes down to the player…apparently combofiend’s abel rocked shadyk last weekend (my personal favorite american akuma)…it really comes down to the person/mind game.

can’t wait to see the vids…Sherwin hit me up if you wanna learn the abel match-up.

Jeff’s got a few videos up right now. Man these are good matches. :tup:

Let’s hope for some madness tonight!

Tonight is gonna be hype as all get out…There are a ton of huge matches tonight…I’m lookin forward to Reset Demon vs Stretch Armstrong ad Salt vs FATS…plus my own match vs TDP every match is gonna be crazy. SO many people goin for a wildcard spot.

We played that match early last minute last week as a favor to Dugg since he had something to do tonight.

Yeah, you missed it Carlos. :angel: Tense ass match.

Nate, some people show up as early as 7, but I would say 8 is a good time to shoot for. I usually show up closer to 9 and there’s already like 20 people there. But then again that was when there was a singles event.

The fact that almost EVERY team is playing tonight should be enough incentive for everyone to show up early. I don’t speak for Frank, but as a spectator, I’d like to see things get started as close to on-time as humanly possible.

But then again: Seattle.

seattle…exactly. my damn match is like the last one… AGAIN! sigh…

Anyone willin to hook my GF and I up with a ride from Everett? I really don’t want to miss this…

The last fights of the regular season and NO ONE was there until 11pm? That is not the business.

Anyway, quick results:

T6:
HeavyD/Monked def. TDP, 2-1
EBM def. Iron Fisters, OCV

SFIV:
Fight Bros. def. Team Jurassic, 3-1
Shenanigans def. Untechables, 2-1
Team BOSS def. TDP, OCV (Bokkin)
Grandmasters def. Focus Cancellicious, OCV (Tanaka Force)
ESL def. Starvengers, OCV (DigiMish)
Underdog def. Wolfpack, OCV (bowflexmike)

EDIT: the shit got WAY too rowdy and got a little too heated for my tastes. Made it really hard for me to enjoy watching the matches.

Crazy night to miss, but worth it from where I was at…

…so many OCV’s. Shoutouts to all who held it down both on the sticks and in their heads this evening. Good stuff I’m sure. Playoffs? You don’t wanna talk about playoffs? Playoffs?

Ugh. So mad that I had to work the last few TW’s. Seems like things are getting crazy.

I have to say, I’m glad to see bokkin get an OCV. I always feel bad for that guy. It’s always this deafening silence when he wins and people getting amped when he loses. I don’t know, maybe he really does deserve to be treated like that, I don’t actually know him, but honestly I doubt it.

Yeah. I root for the badguys.

^no I deserve it…

But I love to disappoint…lookin forward to hearing Brent and Tanaka’s commentary…

ggs

frank awesome regular season professionally ran can’t wait for playoffs/season 2/interim ranbat season…good to be in the NW.

Good Shit Carlos, I for a fact spent most of the night fighting with a drunk ass driver who happened to hit my car… in the parking lot…
