I just noticed, it appears we should have a rematch of the SSB4 Invitational Finals tomorrow between ct zero and ct hungrybox to get into the winners bracket semifinals. That could be fun. I've been rather hungry for some hungrybox revenge for that silly finish.
I can vouch for this applying to the NYC Tekken scene for sure.
So Atlus had a stream with nothing but Persona 4 Arena Ultimax for 12 hours.
They might be streaming tomorrow as well.

I know its Gen, but that jump fierce from Gief did so much damage.

Well... wasn't the empire job to bring everyone together? Oh wait nvm they just took all the best players and excluded everyone else from playing with said best players..... they did that for so long. The entire mvc2, 3S, cvs2, sf4 vanilla, super days.
Wasn't until EG took Justin that other EC players decides to step up like Chris G. Then when Chris G left it was the same void. Now it's team PIE turn to step up. Hopefully they can breed more talent and keep them.

It's why Japan was so much stronger than US. Just recently there have been events and places for people to play and make use of the great tools we have. I think West coast just has the blue print and the attitude to make it work.
Who knows, this drubbing might wake up the East coast to break out of the cycle. Alternatively it could make it worse.
Nope, that bracket is wrong, where's Daigo?
I doubt it will change much. Can't fight geography. Spooky losing Marvel was a testament to that.
Bodied by FChamp, then John Choi 4 rounds in a row. Yes, that John Choi.

It's not geography, it's mindset. If people want to make it work they can West Coast has to travel greater distances, they make the time to play, they work together. They master their egos.

I was in C43 under PezRadar.
Went 2-2 and the game I lost in Winners, I barely lost in. 1 jab from winning.
If I won, I would have fought Gamerbee in Winners Finals. My opponent waited for my selection and counter picked me. Kinda sucked but oh well.
I did knock a Japanese Guile into losers. That felt good. Gamerbee was cheering me on from the side as well as I main Fuerte who is rare. Hehe

Good stuff. Glad you had a good time. On one hand EVO hypes me to want to get out there and play, on the other hand I have 3000 games and 400 wins, I am intimidated.
Well SoCal has Valle and NorCal has Choi, while east coast doesn't really have that kind of a mentor anymore.

I suppose that's true. I don't see it changing anytime soon.

Me either. My advice to any decent player is if the cliquishness and things get too much and you have the option go elsewhere.
straight rolled, damn. Daigo 2014 is a bust

Upset of the year has to be Choi v Daigo. That was ridiculous.

Part of the reason I don't go to locals in NYC. Partly because I suck and partly I can't just be content with a sub par scene.

Crazy how off John was with his execution, and pretty much won off fundamentals. And was there a match before that because that's 4 round to 0. I mean he 4-0 Daigo? WOW.
Daigo 4-0 Valle in the same match up 1 round earlier in very convincing fashion too.

Hard to type because I'm on my phone lot but recap of my day:
-10am pools for Tekken. Thought I would go 0-2 but I got one win lol. Shirt is nice.
-Abegen introduced me to KojiKOG after our twitter talk.
-Helped out Esuta the Top 8 placer for Sfxt last year.
- Translated for KOG and other JP players.
- 2pm pool for usf4 went 3-2 and only lost to the two that got one. I almost beat the winner of the pool in a hawk vs rose match. But I got a double k.o. and got bopped in the third game. JP fei had a good plan for hawk too.
- hung out with tokido for awhile and saw him beat folks in MMs. Smug 3-2, Zeus 3-2, some chun I didn't know and mega bopped Latif twice I think.
- Sat with jps for matches in stream and talked matches.
- Saw KOG lose to Eita. He cried because he wanted to get further. =(

I respect the gaffers who made it out to evo. One day I will find the time to go there. But right now I can only watch.
Awwwh. :<

I'm gonna be back over there on Sunday. Gambling the rest of the time I'm here. Staying at Bellagio.
Vulva who posts on the USF4 thread on GAF won his pool.
If someone is interested in a particular match send me a PM and I will upload it.Did you ever get that update on QisTopTier? I was curious myself on his status, but didn't see any replies.

He who pursues two rabbits gets two rabbits.
Seems like a lot more GAF peeps made it out this year than previous years, or my memory fails me. Either way I hope everyone's enjoying themselves.
Jeez, Choi messed up quite a few things and still managed to pull that off. Pretty insane.
Same here. I actually went to Vegas last year but it was a few weeks later, I definitely want to head down one of these times.

No, but I'm hoping it's because he's having the time of his life

Q is around. Not sure about how hr did as I was busy myself. He'll post when he can.
He loves the crowd reaction and feeds off it. You guys can't see it on stream but he popped off every time he won even just rounds. lol
That, I have no doubts about. Hope he's doing well in the tournament too though.
Yeah figured, since you posted above but didn't mention his status. Glad you had/you're having fun yourself.

Yeah I was with Vulva for a bit before I had to go somewhere else. I noticed that farms was playing in my friend's pool, but I was busy so I couldnt say hi.
Well LOC was getting consistent with running some great sessions where everyone was welcome, but I pretty much dropped trying to get competitive at Tekken, so I just sat back and watched the scene from a distance. I don't know if he's still running sessions these days. Bloodhawk occasionally has a few people over and streams it, but NYC get togethers are far from consistent. GM has a small crew that he plays with, but he has alienated himself from a lot of other players due to... disagreements, and NYC Fab is apparently about to become SoCal Fab.
So the future does not look very bright for this scene.
Waiting for Q's reactions and photo montages!
Also that's really cool! Dude takes fighting games pretty deep. There's always next year! :y

May sound strange, but why where there no KOF eleimations and rounds? There is only a final on the stream schedule.
DId they do the KOF matches off camera or were tehy done bbefore hand? Sorry to ask such a noob question probably btw.

All matches before top 8 are going to be done all off stream unfortunately.
