Thanks mastermind! You’re the technological face of TWs!
I get the feeling the place will be packed and parking will be a biatch. It’s Bon Jovi in the house.
glad things went smooth and easy, and i hope everyone had a good time. great matches, MAGIC MIC IS HYPE!
i do want to acknowledge CARLOS, EMAN and that nigga MUGGISH. you guys played very well tonight, so GOOD SHIT NEW GUYS.
carlos you amaze me because you just come and do your thing. 7 games, 1 loss? good shit man, and you hold your composure very well. i personally wouldnt be able to play my best everytime with: people watching me, crowd noise/heckling/coaching, playing sober cuz that shits kinda gay, and a handicapped 2 MAN TEAM IN A 3 MAN TOURNEY.
that being said, way to go paul lee, you get your ass kicked by pat and havent talked to your team in 2 months? havent showed up and decided to quit the game? cool ASSHOLE, they did pretty well without you
also i cant tell people what to say or who to cheer for but come on, BE CIVIL. if what YOU are saying is distracting those who are playing, PUT SOME MONEY UP or calm it down man. if i was playing a match that determined if im winning 50 bucks, no money, or 500 bucks and i lose focus/the match because of whats going on in the background i:
wouldnt come back
would be ready to fight niggaz (and im dirty)
cry like a bitch cuz you know like…sometimes you be so mad you cant control it and you cry? shits weak son
smash my stick cuz i dont give a fuck about 100 dollars i spend more than that on gas and cigarettes every week
get hella drunk and be an ass when YOU play, and try to rape you when i can…in game of course…maybe
THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT, see everyone at the finals i hope?
What Jacob said. Much respect to everybody that played in the playoffs tonight, especially Team Boss. Just about every match was crazy tense. Much is made about the lack of competitive spirit/mentality here, but everybody brought it tonight. Hella hype environment, I was hella scared during matches and I wasn’t even playing hahah. It was fucking great. Can’t wait until Sunday! :woot:
<3 Seattle <3
also i like how pablo called tanaka tatanka. nicely done sir, wwf lives on. also since TANAKA cut his hair we cant confuse him with munky shyan UNLESS he cuts his hair too, or when tanaka grows his shit back out lol
mandel: BAT TOPS ALL DAY
I missed a Magic Mic night?! Dammit. I thought there is a homing device attached to every Magic Mic that attracts all Filipinos into one concentrated area. Guess sleeping a butt ton of hours detracts from that.
Yes ahahah to the T.
Yep. Apparently we think we’re hungry. I’m very proud of my teammates, they both outshined me this time and it was dope. Like I was bitching about in the ocv rule topic, my team gets the W as a mothafuggin’ team. One by one we be avenging each other, shit is way more hype than some ocv ish. It was way worth teaming up with new blood to have a reason to have to practice together and to try to learn how to pass down knowledge effectively to players of different styles and then to see them come through when it matters is glorious. Have you ever seen Riki-Oh hold downback for so long? Amazing. Oh my god it’s riki-oh… and he’s crouch blocking? Then just as you’re thrown off by it oh shit he’s going crazy on you again. Brilliant.
My nigga muggish! Making it happen. You kept the pace of the entire match with Santos. I’ve never actually seen someone so brilliantly outpace a zangief much less sir Santos. I’ve seen close performances but when others would show panic (getting ultra’d by gief, cornered, SPD’d, whatever), you kept your resolve and like I said, looked towards the future. No use crying over spilt milk. If you were nervous in that match you overcame it quite well. In previous matches I’ve noticed you would make a mistake and get hung up on it, a hard habit to break, but this time I saw little to no reaction because when something happened you were focused on what came next… Excellent excellent excellent. Helping people get over that hurdle is probably my #1 favorite thing about trying to help anyone get better. Your potential goes through the roof when it finally clicks that by getting hung up on something in a match you are giving up the match - dropped combo, missed punish, accidental jump - whatever fucking happens you have to run with it. You have to make it work and you did.
Much love.; Seattle.; and word life.
Tonight was amazing. From a competitors standpoint we are in the finals, and I’m hyped for it, but from a creators/Tournament Directors stand point, everything just hit me so hard tonight. Seeing my vision come to life throughout this season has been so surreal. And now that we have one week left for season 1, I’m besides myself. This scene and everything I love about it showed tonight.
Dugg - I see you’ve finally learned how to win. You did awesome tonight. And you made me proud to be apart of The Freedom Bunker.
Riki - Man, I hope you get the chance to be the teacher, and to watch your student just shine like you did tonight. I was really trying to sit back and just watch the match unfold w/o really saying anything. But I couldn’t hold it in. You played close to perfection tonight against Cole and LTB, and a few less jumps-ins I think you could’ve taken Tanaka =p. And you really got the room into a whirlwind of hype.
Carlos/Mikehascookies - My hats off to both of you guys. The fact that you guys are a 2 man team now in a 3 man league and turned it up when you needed to and not only made the playoffs when you were on the brink of not making, but to climb your way up for a chance at 3rd says a lot. You guys have/get a lot of flack from everyone, but you still held your head up and did what you needed to do to win. I can’t wait to see what is in store for you guys in Season 2.
To everyone that came out tonight. From the bottom of my heart many thanks. What you saw tonight was 22 of Seattle’s top players, playing their asses off. Every single match had hype, every single match was intense, and every single player was out to win. Come hell or high water you need to come out to the finals @ Bloody Knuckles on Sunday the 28th.
with that said here’s the schedule for the finals:
Tekken 6 - Team Hope Kick vs. Monkey D (3rd/4th) - 8
Tekken 6 - Team Tapatio vs. Rage of the Cosmos (1st/2nd) - 8:30
SFIV - RESET DEMON?! vs. Team BOSS (3rd/4th) - 9
SFIV - Grandmasters vs. TDP (1st/2nd) - 9:30
I’m sure it’s not going to be two hours cause we have Tekken and that shit is hella fast, even with it now being 2 out of 3. The singles tournament is going to start @ 6pm…and remember there is a cover charge for this event.
Jeff, hurry up with those videos man.
Good shit to all the teams last night. The playoffs were beyond hype. I’ve said it before, but thanks again Frank for putting this all together. Hats off to TDP, and especially to Deezo. Your chun is too beast. Makes me want to get better with her.
Carlos, sorry I didn’t come with my A game last night. I really felt I could have played better (not to take away from cbea/frank, you guys held it down). Definitely won’t happen next week. RESET DEMON?!, it’s time for the runback!
i dont know what to say. last night was rediculous. and i was bone sober!!! shit was like a mini evo. niggas were on point!!! props to grandmasters and tdp for goin to the finals. and reset demon and boss put it down and proved that A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN A YEAR. new kids showed that they can hang with veterans.
carlos/mike - fighting with a handicap and winning is always dope. be proud of yourselves.
deezo - you showed everyone why you were on that 5 on 5 team at evo. people shouldntve been amazed on our performance, cuz thats the deezo I KNOW.
thanks for everyone that kept it clean. lets hope season two is a success.
I 'm very bitter sweet about the outcome of last night. I still have alot to learn, but I guess it really just shows how my style of play is really high risk high reward. I love how wins with our team never were solely invested in one member of the team but have always been team efforts calling for each of our play styles to win. Good shit Elias getting us into playoffs and letting us ride the momentum you built. Good shit dugg not letting losses get to you and just playing your game. I feel like when I got this team together I considered you guys street fighter players who I was friends with, but now I consider you guys friends who I just happen to play street fighter with.
And a major shout out to my teacher Frank. I honestly stuck around to become apart of the scene because of you.
Yeah, I honestly doubt I’d still be around if I didn’t consider most of you guys friends these days.

Tournament Thread for Bloody Knuckles and Tournament Wars Finals…let’s push that hype up.
Fix the link to the FB page, yo. Didn’t like all those dots in the URL.
^It was ggs all around tonight
Drew… you shook my ass up in a match up I feel pretty decent about…
Francis…sorry about the late handshake but I have been nothing but thinking about our match for 2 weeks and putting in work in the dhalsim match-up…I respect you and your Sim THAT much…which is why I was so pumped after it…
Mandel…truly thank you for beatin my ass in that match…I got the Mandel experience…I’m never happy to loose but it definitely is something that I need to happen (Mystic/Mac/Cole) without it I would not play that much because whats the reason right?
UnderDog…Your guys improvement (Sorry Bowflex but I mean Cbea and Dale) is insane…you guys are beasts for getting where you did…
Frank…Thanks for just puttin this on…you got me to play and learn more just because these matches ha so much importance to each one…Hit me up anytime if you feel like learnin the match-up they way I do…practice (thanks bison country Seattle)
Reset Demon…I have been wanting this rematch for a long time…lets put on a good show at least…
Hah, no worries, Carlos. I know there was no ill-intention; I didn’t want to just leave without the handshake because I remembered at NWM you mentioned that you really wanted to get at my Sim again in a tournament setting, so I wanted to give YOU props for the match. Good shit, my friend. Let’s get some games goin’ on XBL! =D
Playoffs?! That shiet was dope! Mad hype in the air. Great matches all around!
Boss. You 2 (yeah I said it) have really showed that you can rep a name like “Boss”. Carlos is consistent and is able to play competitively through bombs going off and sirens screeching. Cookies, even though I also talk shiet to you about your Bison, you know it’s all in jest. AND you kept telling me how to beat you…before you switch it up. =)
The matches were very impressive, can’t wait to re watch em online.
I wish I could remember what Trace was saying about he and I kicking peoples heads off or w/e, I need a sig #.#
best part was when trace almost knocked over the table 2 seconds later “YOU DIDN’T SEE NOTHING, SHUT UP, FUCK YOU” and then like 20 mins later in the bathroom, “AHHH, I gotta take a shittttt, i think im just gonna shit it my pants” my neighbor “don’t do that” trace, “Why you wouldn’t have to deal with it” hahaha dude was a nut
lmao wow really?
