Thanks everyone for coming out.  Get more people to come next time! :3

For those who aren't familiar with the whole "i points" thing, that term is often used in the Norcal BB ranbat series.  They may not have real points, but players with imaginary points will be used to seed the bracket.

I had a blast kickin' it with everyone the other day. Can't complain with 5th place after losing to shenanigans i've never been on the receiving end of. GG's to everyone I've played and i'm going back to the labs to work on more W.Len tricks.

The videos I recorded have been posted to my youtube account on this playlist (http://www.youtube.com/ckosra#p/c/4C83F05256F5B5EF).

I was able to get about 70% of the matches, along with some casuals after the ranbat ended. Special thanks to Dakanya for hype commentary. It was a lot of fun guys, I hope we can get an even better turnout next time. Also the ramen was top tier.

First off, big thanks to Len/May/Tao FTW for organizing and promoting these ranbats. I was disappointed to only be able to record about 1/3 of the ranbat matches played, I might bring my lame camera+tripod next time to get 2 setups at once. I have divided all of the recordings into 2 playlists, Tourny Matches (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=0E27FF1D60F6CB13) and Casuals (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=89A72FE8AFE8D74C). GG's to everybody I played. Hopefully next time Norcal won't get trolled so hard.
: Re: Reviving Nor Cal: Bringing Back the Guilty Brood [Season 2 Results]
: DJcream March 07, 2010, 11:17:29 AM
GGs to everyone I've played. Though I went 0-2 with very little practice, I feel like I came out of the ranbat stronger after all the casuals. The great diversity among the players yesterday was really interesting.

Big ups to Tao for hosting another wonderful tourney and I'll see everyone next month.
: Re: Reviving Nor Cal: Bringing Back the Guilty Brood [Season 2 Results]
: Tone March 07, 2010, 01:13:12 PM
First off... Taoftw, THANK YOU FOR THROWING THIS. Tourney was mad hype! I can't even put in words how happy I am to see that GGAC and MBAA, two games that I thought had mostly died off or lacked a solid scene in norcal have such a strong turnout.   ;D

GGs people I played, both tourney and in casuals. Had a lot of fun with all the people I met and kicked it with as well. I wanted to hang out and go get food after it was all said and done with you guys, but after the past three days of sessions in various spots, I'm mentally and physically exhausted. Thanks to the guys who brought in the pizza, most delicious dominos I've ever had lol. Gave me enough energy to make it back home safely.

I'm most definitely going to be sticking around and coming out to more stuff now that I know that the norcal scene is out there, and pretty strong as well. I'll be sure to try and bring people with me next time, and I'm also willing to provide rides for people along the way who need it, specifically the Berkeley folks who were asking me about it.

Despite going 0-2 in the tournament, was still worthwhile.. This was the first time I've ever played competent opponents in MBAA, and I learned a toooon of shit, even though I still have a long road ahead of me. See you guys next month!

(and for those who're like 'who the hell i dont even know this guy', im the tall guy with the Miku stick~)

Many props to everyone who came to show up for the ranbat.  Regardless of how everybody gives me credit, it's really you guys that made it happen.  So + points to the community.  My voice still feels a bit scratchy and people say that I sound drunk when I'm sleep deprived.  Too bad I don't drink.  :3  Anyways, first post now updated with ranbat standings.  Read and be happy.   :prinny:

(and for those who're like 'who the hell i dont even know this guy', im the tall guy with the Miku stick~)

You, sir, are a winner in my book.  :D

Edit: On another note, it is now crunch time at work; I will be grinding that job 24/7 from now until the first Monday of April.  Therefore, I cannot host n' prep for the next ranbat.  I will be passing the torch to Dakanya, Tsubasa, Qwerty, Tenkai and PhaethonH.  Good luck to you all!

What almost everyone here is forgetting is that even though Neco-Arc Chaos is one of the worst characters in the game, you still have to know how to fight the fucker. He's not that free, especially if you're whiffing every other normal and giving him free combos.

It really illustrates the lack of match-up experience in America, if nothing else.

With that said, I'm not sure what to root for here. I remember Qaenyin being an insufferable douche, but that seems to be not so much the case anymore (?) -- that and I'm always for putting NorCal on blast.

I'd have to agree with you here Dip.  There were a lot of matches I feel were won from factors other than just matchup experience, and those were notably closer than the rest.  Snozz's Ryougi for example gave me an incredible run for my money, he adapted really quick and it showed.  In a few cases it really was matchup experience though.  I think YAT deserved a closer fight than he got between us and I think it really was just inexperience with the matchup that made it so onesided in our match as an example.

I have to say though I find it rather hilarious that everyone feels me placing in a tourney is some significant blow to the manhood of northern california that must have excuses made for it... except the people who are actually in northern california.

Someone being a sore loser is one thing, but the Norcal guys were great, took it in stride and I'm sure are gonna come back next time ready to try and kick my ass.  Yet y'all are the ones who feel like they need excuses made for them like they can't do it themselves.  And seeing as how I placed second, not first, they sure as hell can do it themselves.

They're being the better man(men?) here, and the only thing that could even attempt to make em look bad is the way you guys are acting about some of(and not even all of) them losing.

Two thumbs up to norcal for not acting like kids like some of the people in this thread.

Qaenyin, is it true you really haven't played like almost at all previous to the tourney? If thats true, then I think there's something wrong with norcal (hint, this is to get you guys mad, to get better, beat me in a tourney I'll show up to next month, in turn makes me want to get better, etc. No hard feelings.) Good shit anyways, too bad I couldn't make it out to see this (plus I hear you're a player of really poor fighting games now) so we could have played some random shit.

I dunno man, low-tier players know the downsides (And there are a lot) but you can do well if you learn your matchups and just get real fuckin' solid. Maybe that's just me coming from GG, but shit like implying that it's not really viable for competitive play is a sad thing for your game, and tends to be proven wrong by crazy exceptions.

From what I've seen at the tourney, a lot of people did not know what to expect vs. NAC. Aside whiffing staple pokes, a lot of people were getting hit by random specials - notably EX beam. Shit, in casuals I was getting rolled by EX Bambi. Aside from that, I give a lot of respect to Qaenyin for traveling a shit-ton of miles to give the NorCal scene a nice reality check. Let's not get trolled by this next time.

I've only played casuals 2 or 3 times since I was at evo, yeah, but I did a lot of combo grinding and shit over the week before norcal install.  But yeah, I'm mostly poverty fighter player now lol, so I'm down with that.  I won't be able to make it to April's ranbat but I'll do what I can to get to May's.  Get hype!  :toot:

Also DJCream, you have a valid point.  Although, EX beam is actually a tech punish setup, if it's done properly you can't avoid it, you just have a choice of either risking taking a bunch of chip/getting tech punished by teching or taking like 800ish extra damage by not teching.  EX Deer Taxi vs YAT was honestly psychic dumb luck, as I accidentally reversaled the only move I know of that it can actually punish as a reversal vs kouma.

GL to you guys on improving though, and if you want to PM me with some questions about NAC I can always clarify some of the shit about him if you want.

I have to say though I find it rather hilarious that everyone feels me placing in a tourney is some significant blow to the manhood of northern california that must have excuses made for it... except the people who are actually in northern california.

Someone being a sore loser is one thing, but the Norcal guys were great, took it in stride and I'm sure are gonna come back next time ready to try and kick my ass.  Yet y'all are the ones who feel like they need excuses made for them like they can't do it themselves.  And seeing as how I placed second, not first, they sure as hell can do it themselves.

They're being the better man(men?) here, and the only thing that could even attempt to make em look bad is the way you guys are acting about some of(and not even all of) them losing.

Two thumbs up to norcal for not acting like kids like some of the people in this thread.

shut the fuck up and play a real god damn character you fucking moron

Wait, so if Master Chibi is Bill O'Reilly, would that make me... Keith Olbermann? :psyduck:

SIR, I do say that your inability to even address the crisis is nothing less to an affront to society. SIR, This goes beyond politics, transcends personalities -- this is about a group of honest people trying to put in honest work to solve this issue, and like a succubus upon society you had to take advantage of their plight and draw every last bit of marrow out of this part of this part of society until there was nothing left but a husk. SIR, for this you deserve nothing but contempt and derision for your actions, and every person should be made aware of your acts so that nobody else should be befallen of such a tragedy wholly caused by you.

And you had the nerve to exploit a cat in the process. A cat! Words can not even describe how offensive this is.

I'm Dipstick, good night, and good luck.

We use magz's PS2 for streaming cause it's always set up already.  And he's a hobag who is too busy winning GG to play MB (he actually did take 1st in GG this month).  We could load up our data, but it was too much effort when we didn't really need anything unlocked.

Playlist for the ranbat matches I recorded. (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=DFD244D6F32674DA) GG's to everybody I played. I was a little disappointed with the venue to be honest, but it was still better than not having a ranbat. Also for the record CT_Warrior and Riotblade owe me $1 each for betting me based on their tremendously flawed powers of observation that Mizuki's stick has a blonde character thats not Louise on it.  :V :V :V

GG's to everyone I played. Next time I should play more casuals instead of messing around on 3S and all that other jazz. See y'all next month, 'cause I think wat I really need to work on is just character matchup experience. I'm getting rocked by shit I dunno how to counter.

I just find her extremely boring and borderline bullshit but right now I'm simply trying to figure out how to fight against her as I don't get to play our Ryougi 'specialists' enough (due to location) and I'd rather not do that at a tournament instead, you know?
