Oh man, where do I begin? I guess I'll start with those whom I played in the tourney.
MagzThose were great matches. At the very start, you made me look like a day 1 player. x_X I felt pretty demoralized after you took me out so quickly and I was afraid that you had me all figured out after our casuals. I remember the last thing you said to me after the match was "I'll see you in the finals hopefully." Perhaps you saw it coming?
Wicked ElementMiyako's hitbox was a bit funky for my combos. Tech punishes hurt and I re-learn not to be so tech-happy. You almost took me 2nd match and I was really getting nervous near the end. Well-played.
buzzNorcal's only Ciel. You're not bad at all. You're tick throw attempts were really getting me but lucky for me I managed to catch on and make the necessary adjustments. You almost had a 2C mixup against me and I panicked for a second but you input the wrong air attack. Use j.C if you're trying to go for the overhead. Magz says you should watch my matches if you want to play Ciel effectively. Not trying to toot my own horn, but, maybe that's good advice if you're looking for ideas.
SatayaLike Magz, you also made me look like a day 1 player in our first match. X_x Very discouraging since you almost double perfected me. Kouma is a very funky opponent to fight against and you were just killing me on the wakeup end of the match. I couldn't counter-poke nor could I backdash to safety without finding myself in the same position over and over again. You were very patient on the defense and I was trying my hardest just to land a hit. You're a solid player so keep it up.
JuxOur matches were more or less the same as the matches we play outside tourneys. Thankfully we didn't fight each other until later in the tourney. Great performance all-around. Though it seems that you were burning out as time dragged on. We will continue to improve our characters and hopefully Rayzr will be able to join us next time.
MasonI owed you one back from WT6.
It was a great fight all-around. I learned a thing or two since the last time we played at a WT and it looks like it all paid off.
Your reaction to my psychic EX Halo was classic along with the crowd's. Don't worry, I would have felt the same way. Since I got a blue stage, I was puzzled as to why you went to "once again" instead of the select screen. Some would probably say that it wouldn't have mattered because we might have gotten it again or rather another "favorable" stage for me. lol Good commentary as usual.
NumakieThe tie breaker. It was an impressive battle and fighting your Hisui is always a lot of fun. Remember what I said about "not playing by the book." lol Your style is unique so keep playing the way you do now and continue to level up.
ArlyArrrrrrrg! Camoflauge does not affect you. :'( You are the beast of the Socal scene. Nero might be the biggest character in the game but I had one hell of a time just trying to land a hit. Your shielding and dodging was my demise. Congrats on taking 1st (again).
Other shoutouts:
NorcalIt was great that you guys came down for this. Unfortunately I didn't get the chance to play against all of you. Hopefully next time around.
MizukiThanks for helping out with the brackets. It took me while to realize that the message you gave me was from Kayin. I couldn't understand it at first because there was a lot of noise and I never heard his name pronounced before.
To all whom I played in casuals.
Memorable Moments:
- Landing the 51 hit otg loop against buzz. lol Sorry even I'm surprised that I managed to land something like that in the heat of a match. I rarely every see anyone attempt it let alone be able to keep it up for that long.
- Connecting a psychic EX Halo against Mason. The crowd's reaction was classic.
- "If it's a blue stage, H-F automatically wins."
- "Leo came out of nowhere and hit H-F Blade in the face with a chair."
Thank you all for attending and making this a very fun and exciting WT. I hope to see you all at the next one.
LOL Guess who i am?
"Damn HF is prettty bad...."
PLEASE tell me this is a million dollar question.
