[Haunted]

I feel that we'll have this second Cup wrapped up by the end of the week. Let's hope maxmars can chime in for some interview stuff and about the mystery prize towards the end of the week.

Spoiler

no Drake, it's not a trip to Hawaii.

:lol

 

[Swisslink]

Tanasten, I'm online now
Just write down when you're ready

edit
Not i'ts 23:00 GTM, so I don't think tanasten will be online today :/

Tanasten:
tomorrow I'll be online again from 19:00 til 24:00 :/

Fuck. I wasn't able to play yerterday, and neither will today. Will you tomorrow evening?

 

[Swisslink]

Ok, today I wasn't able to play >_<
Tomorrow should be ok

 

[Haunted]

You two realise that you're teasing me as well with all those posts here, right? I want to know who my opponent in the final is! :lol Good luck to both of you

Spoiler

because it'll run out in the final... muahahaha

 

[Swisslink]

Tanasten, I'm online
Write down here when you're ready

/edit: again nothing >_<
Tanasten wasn't here all day long :/

 

[Swisslink]

yaaaaaaaaaaaay

Swisslink 2 (12) - (5) 0 Tanasten
5:2
7:3

 

[tanasten]

that's it. You did both great games. Let's play a few friendly, ok?

Swisslink 2 (12) - (5) 0 Tanasten

Congrats Swiss.

 

[Swisslink]

that's it. You did both great games. Let's play a few friendly, ok?

ok

The first game was close, and I did some bad mistakes with my keeper and dry bones ^^

Anyway, good games

But I think to win the tournament I have to improve my defense ^^

edit: lol, and now I scored nearly with every shot XD

edit2: sorry, disconnect :/

 

[tanasten]

Your tactic is effective Swiss, but will not forever

I needa WideScreen TV to win you though...

 

[Swisslink]

Haunted One, I'd like to play the game today/tomorrow, after that, I'll have less time than now, so it'll be harder to play ^^
I hope you'll be online anytime ^^

 

[Haunted]

Congrats Swiss! After your outstanding performance in this Cup, I think you're a well deserved finalist. tanasten, I hope you'll return for the third cup as well. You managed to get into the semis in each Cup, next time you'll break into the final for sure.

Haunted One, I'd like to play the game today/tomorrow, after that, I'll have less time than now, so it'll be harder to play ^^
I hope you'll be online anytime ^^

I can play tonight, if you want. 20:00 German Time?


edit: and the knockout phase table has been updated.

edit²: max is still on his travels and didn't reply to my PM, so the winner might have to be a bit more patient for his mystery prize. >_<

edit³: Just fired up Strikers for the first time in like a week - oh my. goddamn Resident Evil 4 and Metroid Prime 2 have been eating all my gametime up - I'm totally out of the loop. :lol

 

[Bo130]

Go Swiss ^_^

 

[Haunted]

Go Swiss ^_^

;_;

 

[Bo130]

Sorry, Haunted, you're awesome as well

The main reason I want him to win is because he kicked me out of the tournament, and if he wins, I'll be better off

Good luck to both of you

 

[Swisslink]

20:00 should be ok ^^

Go Swiss :lol ^_^

Thx

 

[Haunted]

I see you're online - want to play the final now instead of later? Would fit my schedule much better. ^_^


Let's get this over with.

 

[Swisslink]

Ok ^^

Great games, haunted one

Haunted One 2 - 0 Swisslink

^^

Thanks for the series!


Official result for the second NeoGAF Mario Strikers Charged World Cup final:

Haunted 2 (12) - 0 (8) Swisslink
5:2
7:6


Goddamn, you're a really good player, Swiss. You were unlucky with your shots in the first match, and the second one was extremely close - 13 goals on that level of play. whew!

 

[Swisslink]

I'll be back for the next tournament!
(If there will be a next one ^^)

I wasn't able to stop your birdos, in the end, you were better ^^
Gratulation

 

[Bo130]

Well done, Haunted. Well deserved!

Thanks for an awesome tournament, I'll be back for the next one I hope to see you all again.

 

[Haunted]

Thanks, guys.

I wasn't able to stop your birdos, in the end, you were better ^^
Gratulation

You always managed to escape me with your Toad - that was an immediate danger for my goal, so I was glad that my Birdos were also pretty effective from the mid-range. I also went pretty hard on your captain, tackled him more often than usual. But it's necessary against a strong player like you! In the second game, nearly all of our shots went in - it was crazy.



I've updated the tables on the site so everyone can follow the progression of the Cup - we've all done a good job on keeping this Cup on track, with great matches, fair play, the works. GAFfers rock!

It definitely was a lot of fun, and I really hope we'll manage to get another tournament rolling (maybe when our original organisator, max, returns from his travels.) - Although playtime will be limited with the awesome game line-up coming this fall. ^_^

 

[Phife Dawg]

Congrats Haunted.

Back-to-back champion, now aim for the threepeat .

I had a lot of fun when I was playing, which wasn't too often shamefully but them's the breaks, that's how the cookie crumbles, etc. GG everyone.

 

[tanasten]

Fuck... C'mon! I can beat haunted. I hate you Swiss


Congrats Haunted. For the next cup I'll try to have a nice widescreen LCD.

 

[Myke Greywolf]

Congratulations, Haunted One. I'm glad to see that I lost to the overall winner.

 

[Koren]

Congratulations, Haunted...

And many thanks and kudos to all participants of the cup, and especially to people organizing it. It has been really great.


I've been busy by work, and didn't managed to play much online recently T_T and I'll leave next week till end of september, I hope there will still be gaffers online to play a couple of matches then!

 

[fresquito]

Congrats Haunted.

I'm finally back home after the surgery. So, if anyboy was wondering if I may have died, I haven't, although I was pretty close.

I don't know if I'll take part in the next tounament, at the moment I have other things to focus on, so I'll be away from this place for some time.

 

[Haunted]

Thanks everyone. I'm just waiting for maxmars to return to wrap this all up

Spoiler

- mystery prize!

.

I won't be organising the next tourney (although I might help a bit again), so if someone else wants to help max for the third Cup, please don't hesitate to speak up - it's not much work and the other GAFfers will thank you for it.

Congrats Haunted.

Thanks! Glad you're back and everything's ok. Take all the time you need, and I hope you'll recover completely soon.

Hearing that you have come out alive and able to post is great news. Godspeed with your life Fresquito!

And.. I'm back. Good job guys, I'm happy to see you went through the final phase fine and had fun with it, although I can't say I'm surprised that Haunted won. :lol

I'm still eating my backlog with everything, however I'd like to start playing again this evening; if you see me online be gentle, I don't think I even remember what each button does.

I will try to have a definitive answer for the prize this week, Haunted already knows the intricacies so I'll speak more in details when I'll be sure what happened to it.

As for the next cup, I'm already itching. What about everybody else?

As soon as possible
I'd like to have my revenge

Or, with Caesar words, Helvetii quoque reliquos Gallos virtute praecedunt, quod fere cotidianis proeliis cum Germanis contendunt. :lol

 

[Haunted]

Or, with Caesar words, Helvetii quoque reliquos Gallos virtute praecedunt, quod fere cotidianis proeliis cum Germanis contendunt. :lol

Damn you and Dragona always babbling in your mars language!

:lol

I guess it's my duty as champ to try to defend the title.... again. Count me in.

 

[maxmars]

Sorry Haunted, I thought you were studying as a lawyer?! Don't they teach latin there?

Anyway it says that among the remaining Celts ("Gauls, for us", as says Caesar) the Swiss are the most hardened, "because they always have to fight the Germans". :lol

Nope. doing German and English linguistic studies atm, no latin required.

It's a nice quote, though.

But aside from Swiss, I think tanasten is also itching for the next Cup. He finally wants to break into the finals because he still thinks he can defeat me.

Spoiler

yeah, I'm starting the trash-talk early this time.

:lol


If all the strong players return, it's going to be one hell of a Cup.

 

[Myke Greywolf]

I'm in for the next cup, even though I know I have no chances against you guys.

 

[maxmars]

Well well, we could always have a foursome.. Perhaps we could play all matches on the same evening / night?

 

[Swisslink]

Haunted, the next cup will be harder than this one

maxmars, I think there'll be some more players
but I don't think they'll look in this thread (Why should they? The cup is over ^^)

 

[maxmars]

Ok, I'll do an interest check in the main forum this evening.

By the way, family is leaving for some extra vacation time, tonight I'm finally coming online.

[MasterMFauli]

I just wanted to congratulate by myself now that i can ^^

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Haunted, haste gut gemacht! ;-)
Hoffentlich hat das nächste Mario Strikers Elfmeter-Schießen, dann darf Swisslink verlieren, wie es sich für einen Schweizer gehört ;-)

Aber nein, Swiss, wir kennen uns ja, klasse Worldcup, beeindruckender Durchmarsch bis ins Finale ^^

Backt to English.
A nice 2nd cup overall.

Uhm... what's now about the 3rd cup?


And, thx fauli

 

[maxmars]

Hi guys, I'm hospitalized right now (have been for the past week), sorry. I'm writing this from the hospital IT room (thanks to a benevolent employee and a gap between exams).

Since this is related to nerves, (I've lost sensitivity on my right arm) it's possible I'll be away for some more time till they understand what's going on. I'm going through many exams and they are planning new ones while the old ones bring them new data to chew on. I'm fine for the most part and I miss you all.. Hopefully I'll be back soon, although I can't know for sure.

As for the cups, feel free to start a new cup in the meantime!

I don't know if Iìll be able to check soon again GAF but for now salutations & all the best, max.

 

[maxmars]

Back at home for the weekend.. Seems that the thread has died anyway. I will do an interest check in the main forum during the weekend, although I really don't think I will participate.

 

[maxmars]

*checks threads created by maxmars*

lies!

I only saw this now.. Sorry but I've had too much stuff going on since then, including health problems. I tried to wait in case I could participate, but it looks I won't be able to play for some time so during the weekend I will do an interest check and then set up a cup for you guys.

 

[tanasten]

Uhm... what's now about the 3rd cup?


And, thx fauli

I'm waiting.

 

[Swisslink]

Uhm...
So, I think there won't be a 3rd Cup...
Seems alright to me, even if I'd like to have another cup
But yeah ^^
