EVO WORLD 07 MBAC SINGLES Results AND VIDEO

[AlmightyNam]

I don't think I like the fact that a Nero took the top ranking. It may be just pure spite, but i really don't like how most of the tactics done by Nero consist of utilizing one button.

You need to look a little harder at how I play Nero. As much as we joke about j.C, it's really the summons that kill people- even if they don't get hit by them. Think about that.

Hey, I'll spite if I want to!

But yeah, that is true. Summons do tend to eat people.

I had a lot of fun at Evo. I was sporting my self made bootleg MB shirt too. 
I also learned some strats for my Miyako before I competed. 
Congrats to the top 8. 
WC ftw!

LOL, Arly, did you ever get your MM down? I heard Vet backed out and I didn't hear anything about your MM w/Zaeler. Hope you did well!

[Arlieth Tralare]

I won vs Zaelar, I forget the final score. It's saved somewhere, though. And yeah, Vet backed out after the tourney.

[juniorSantos]

evooooo was fun. big thanks to everyone that helped run the mbac tournament, it looked like a lot of work.

it was nice meeting a lot of you and congrats to top 8!

[Level 0]

Yes, it was a lot of fun.  I'm glad Lolisauce got me to go despite being the shy little prick I am.  I really enjoyed meeting all of you in person, and I learned a lot about Warakia (Wallachia, whatever) and just playing MB in general.  Reading about it is one thing, but experiencing it with unique play styles was another.  Casuals was a great way to learn who you guys are.

I just wish I was sure I'd have a ride home, then I definitely would have stayed and watched the whole tourney play out.  You guys kick ass (omg Vet raped me so hard that I couldn't sit down for 20 min afterwards - it was a very deep learning experience...  leik ASS DEEP )  Thanks for popping my tournament cherry.  SO HAWT.

You know I'm gonna be practicing for damn sure after all that.

[NOTxNOT=NOT]

Warakia (Wallachia, whatever)

Dracula.

Dracula.

Unfazed.

[Zaelar]

I only have the pools.  Someone else has the top 16 bracket.

Since I have the pools, I can list the people that qualified out of them.  45 entrees divided into 4 pools.  People from the same state/area were seperated as best they could, but considering almost half the tournament was from Cali there were some overlappings there.  After pool division it was random.  Due to the number of people about half the entrees got a bye which led to some confusion.

Pool1
Winners: Leo, Zaelar
Losers: Alt, and whoever won between Alex G. and KenmastersX.  Its not filled in on this one.
Pool2
Winners: Veteru, Psylocke
Losers: Chaotic Blue, Numakie
Pool3
Winners: Arlieth, Scott
Losers: Choco, JuniorSantos
Pool4
Winners: Master Chibi, Fubarduck
Losers: Wicked Element, Magz

As far as money matches go...
I lost 5-1 in my MM against Arlieth.
I lost 3-0 against Leo.
I won 3-0 against Jaxx.

I forget how my others went.

Edit: http://www.meltybread.com/replays/UnsortedEvoReplays.zip

All the evo replays I have, unsorted.  Figured its better than nothing until they all get sorted out.

[F9|Chibi]

I'm pretty sure I got 9th.

But yeah, there's a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong post coming soon, in the form of a log.

I'm tired as fuck right now though, so it'll come eventually.

[AARP|ZTB]

THANK YOU, ZAELAAAARRRRRR!!!!!!! 

more reps....yum

[kenmastersX]

Alex G dropped his match against me in losers due to him playing in the 5v5 for Guilty Gear, and wanting to concentrate on that.

[chaotic blue]

Why is this game so fun? Thanks for showing how to do some actual combos with arcuied veteru.  I'm actually gonna try to play this game more and really lay a thrashing down. :p How do you work those replays...?

[Kryojenix]

you unzip them into the replay subfolder of your MBAC folder

[Numakie]

Whew. That was some weekend.  I sure had alot of fun.
Some notable mentions on my part in Choronlogical order (for saturday at least)

-Lost 2-0 on a MM against Zaelar.
-Random Casuals. Lots of fun specially with Ivan.  I swear we like to mess around too much
-Had Lolisauce take a pic of me with a Jelly on my head 
-Got thrown to Losers by HF Blade.
-Crawled my way up to the top 16 bracket through the losers bracket.
-Cheering Wicked for joining me in the top 16. (Go Miyako!!) 8)
-Got taken out of the tournie by KenX (Thanks for the advice btw, Ken) 
-Winning MM against Chibi 5-1 
-Obtaining a Kick ass canvas drawing of Hisui and Kohaku from Ivan.   

It was great seeing people from all over the nation gather for this game.  I hope we can all meet again in the next main event.

[kenmastersX]

Oh sweet, a bunch of my matches are up in that replay bunch.    My execution was kinda blah at times.

-Got taken out of the tournie by KenX (Thanks for the advice btw, Ken) 

Ah, I remember you now.    Watching our matches, you could've taken me out at least one.

Looking forward to seeing everyone whenever I get the chance, it was really fun.

[F9|Chibi]

-Winning MM against Chibi 5-1 

I really shouldn't have agreed to that, I was in a horrible state of mind after the tournament, so at that point it was free money for you (that, and my controller was done and I had to play you on stick, more sadness).

But bro, do you even practice? Seriously, you were like ALL over the damn place playing her, I couldn't get a read on you at all. You were doing shit like full screen super j.C god knows how many times, shit like j.C, j.C, j.B.B. midscreen as an air combo, wake up 2.A when there's a chair RIGHT INFRONT OF YOU IN THE CORNER, keeping me grounded like once in the corner and putting chair or bento out (and not doing that when you got a throw off me elsewhere) and then never doing it again, not throwing out something to lessen recovery after air throw, and so on and so forth. Shit made my head hurt guy (like I have any right to say this after losing to you).

Refine your shit and start raping. Stop doing that BnB of yours as well, it's only useful if you use 5.C before the actual air combo (like to tech punish after air throw).

Take it as hate, but Zaelar said you were almost as good as me, and I took that as an insult. Shit was like a wake up call, I want to be the best fucking Hisui in the US so next time we meet we'll run that shit back.

Here's some more hate for you guys:

- WTF at Jaxx losing to WickedElement.
- HUGE WTF at Leo losing to Choco.
- GOD DAMN WTF at Q-Chu and Choco winning team tourney.
- MFWTF at the amount of V. Akiha's.
- WOWWTF at Dippy actually taking MB serious and not being angry when he lost in singles, but just sad.
- ISUCKWTF at me destroying my controller, doing shitty mix ups, and thinking 2aa xx ANYTHING would get anywhere (I honestly don't know what I was thinking).
- YEAHISAIDITWTF at still putting EC's top 3 above all of WC for any amount of money, easy.

;p

Chibi you can't rank on a guy who beat you dog... no matter how it turns out lol..


NO SHIKIS MAKE ME SAD... MAKING PERSONAL EFFORT FOR NEXT YEAR'S EVO TO BRING SHIKI TO GLORY

[F9|Chibi]

Chibi you can't rank on a guy who beat you dog... no matter how it turns out lol..

I just did, deal with it.

haha whatever my man... it's just weird that's all...

Well I was going to vent one way or another, and that was it really. The guy still got my money, so he wins in the end, and more then anything it makes me hype to get better and figure out the mirror match (one I never get here on EC) so I guess I'll have a repeat come C3 with Nam.

 

I was doing waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better in casuals against everyone else though, but come tourney time my brain packed up and called it a day. I still learned ALOT from playing all the different match ups and playstyles though (as did Zaelar) so we both took it back to the 'lab' with us.

[Mailorder]

- HUGE WTF at Leo losing to Choco.
- GOD DAMN WTF at Q-Chu and Choco winning team tourney.

Was it really that WTF-ish?  WTF as in shocking to see AZ has skill?  Or WTF as in AZ got lucky at Evo?  I guess we'll see when the replays are out.

[F9|Chibi]

yes it was wtf, I've pretty much seen Leo and Arly above everyone else on WC, and then Choco goes and takes Leo's money ;p. It looks like he stepped his game up and / or figured out Leo's as well.

And Q-chu won thanks to the STORM-INESS of Red Arc.

XD

[Mailorder]

Choco is serious business with Satsuki.  I can't explain why he's done horribly in past West Toasts and does well at Evo.  I personally think it's because he was nervous at West Toast because it was a tournament atmosphere, and AZ felt like a pack of strangers among SoCal.  You know, the whole mindset of being the Away Team.  But at Evo World, everyone's from somewhere else, so the atmosphere is more relaxed and casual.  No one's a stranger.

Choco's made lot of excuses about his performance at past West Toasts... stuff like being tired, or something about monitor lag screwing him up.  I think it's a load of BS when he says this stuff (and he should stop, because it certainly isn't getting him any more respect when he complains) - I think he's just got the jitters when he's in SoCal.  Either way, even after all the lame excuses... he's a good guy, and I'll stand up for his Satsuki anyday.

You're gonna have to define STORM-INESS regarding Q-Chu : p  I personally think Q-Chu may have won because no one in the U.S. plays a serious Red Arc, so no one was prepared for fighting aerial blood rings.  I know that when Q-Chu first started doing that in AZ, he probably became AZ's 2nd best over a weekend.  People didn't know how to stop those blood rings.  He started going 50/50 with Choco.  I managed to hold a strong 50/50 with Q-Chu since Mech-HISUI's jetpacks can combat blood rings, but Q-Chu's record vs. Choco is a lot more impressive than mine.  So yeah.

[Choco]

Mailorder, I don't like how you call my reasons excuses. Not every fighting game player can justify things by saying they were beat by better players. I got sleep before my money matches, thus I was able to stay very focused. I whine about TV lag because it is INFURIATING to do a j.C that hits, try to follow up with a ground attack, and just stand there because I pressed the button one frame too early.

Another point, though (which is why I never say that I SHOULD have won a matchup that I lost), is that my opponents have to put up with the same thing I do. This is something I mention all the time, in fact. Something you've heard me mention all the time. I'm a bit disappointed, Mailorder, because there's a clear difference between making excuses and presenting an explanation, and your "no johns" attitude brings me down.
