Perfect Legend and LI Joe looked really good today. But there are some darkhorses out there.

 

[Wallach]

Tom Brady was a tester for NRS, so it would've been a conflict of interests and an unfair advantage.

He's pretty good. Check out Powerup from a few weeks ago where he had a nice set with Perfect Legend using Johnny Cage (though his Subzero is the king of keepaway).

Funny part of this stream for me was watching him maul Ruin's Kung Lao with three straight matches of almost pure rushdown. Looked pretty free.

Wish a Quan Chi had made it into top 16. Will be pulling for MarkMan since he's repping the next best thing with that Smoke. Better be ready for all the bomb trap/spin/teleport/superman shenanigans tomorrow.

I think I saw Tom Brady using a PS3 pad on the 360!?!???

Its the neogeo-like pad, not a ps3 pad.

Big Marcus made it. His Quan Chi is beast.

Nice.
Added that to the OP ...wasn't able to watch it; just part of it. :/

 

[Enk]

Finally catching up on this tourney.

Holy shit at the Justin Wong and Marn commentary! I'd give anything to have a weekly Wong and Marn show to go along with Cross Counter.

So
3 Raidens (Fubarduck, Jop, Ebenezer)
1 Liu Kang (Hugo)
4 Cyrax (Noobe, Trophy Club, Big Marcus (Quan Chi for Raiden), LI Joe)
1 Ermac (Floe)
2 Kung Lao (Justin Wong, Perfect Legend)
1 Smoke (Markman)
1 Sonya ( BE Rivers)
1 Nightware (Sorchetta Math)
Not sure about the last 2

Not too bad, but yeah let's Kung Lao hat spin get some recovery frames, ditto for Raiden's teleport, and bomb trap is cheap.

from what I saw Michaelangelo uses Cyrax and Kabal.
LI Joe is more Cyrax than Ermac?

I can remember actually. It seemed like he was using Ermac a lot prior to this, but I don't recall seeing him use Ermac that often.

 

[MarkMan]

Its the neogeo-like pad, not a ps3 pad.

It was a PS2 pad with an XConverter 360 adapter.

I need to find one of those.

[DryEyeRelief]

[MarkMan]

woops, I'll find out when laugh will restock it!

Also, I'm hella buzzed right now. Vegas baby.

 

[NEO0MJ]

So, where can we watch some matches? Want to see some Ermac/Kabal/Shang action.

 

[AKingNamedPaul]

I trusted the commentators! Silly me.

 

[SmokeMaxX]

If you want to use a PS3 pad on the 360, use this: http://www.superufo.com/product_html/Xbox_1___360_xBox360_Controller_converter_PRO.html#
It's lagless and doesn't require a passthrough. You can find these converters in a lot of different online retailers.

Missed the stream: What is a Spooky Shuffle?

Missed the stream: What is a Spooky Shuffle?

When the stream starts to mess up or lag, Spooky starts rocking back and forth in his chair while trying to fix it. Spooky Shuffle.

Ha, love Spooky.
The guy is a hard working beast.

Mad love to the GAF folks doing awesome in the tourney: Markman and fubarduck.

12PM PST is the scheduled time, and they started right on time yesterday.

 

[Xater]

I did not see the whole thing. Did Gootecks actually play at some point? I though he wanted to be there.

 

[Darklord]

How do you perform babalities? I've played a lot of the game but have seen no mention to them. Is there a list of them somewhere?

 

[Khezu]

You can't block an attack during the final round, you can push the button, just can't actively block something, then you just perform the character specific input.

 

[Grecco]

I thought you needed a flawles victory in the first round.

 

[Nabs]

I didn't see him play, but he was definitely there. (gootecks laugh)

I use this with a PS2 Saturn Pad
