Though thoroughly belated, I shall introduce myself!
MB player currently residing in Tempe, Arizona. Moved to AZ about eight months ago from Alabama. Played Final Tuned in Alabama
hardcore. Didn't have any real competition. Went to the FT tournament at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2005 and got 2nd place as Satsuki (1st place was Nanaya). Won legit copies of MB and ReACT that are still in their original plastic packaging, completely unopened.
Moved to AZ in July 2006. Attended Phoenix Anime Fest in December, where I brought my PS2 + MB. Met vmoney, saw that there was scene potential here in the Valley... and proceeded to become a staff member for Hobbyist's Paradise (
www.hobbyistsparadise.com), allowing me to insert MB tournaments all over the place. The scene is just getting started here!
I'm still a Satsuki player, but I play around with Kohaku, Ciel, Nanaya, Miyako, and Kouma. Miyako is my next character to learn completely.
