Earlier written on the trip back...
It's about 11am and I haven't been able to get much actual sleep on the Megabus but I've got some physical rest I suppose. I spent something around 30 minutes reflecting on how memorable this West Toast was for me, even if I didn't play much. I was gonna hold it all in my head and write it when I get home and then I realized I had a laptop in my backpack.
Arlieth: Thanks for driving us around, that curry tonkatsu ramen was some of the best I've ever had and the tonkatsu was top notch. Man, I don't think you let your guard down at all in the tournament, I was predicting that H-FBlade and Magz were gonna do better but you were always conscious of their options and always made the right decisions, and you were an extremely entertaining player to watch. I never saw you give H-FBlade a single chance to bust out EX Hiero.
Psylocke and Leo: Where were you guys?!
Numakie: Your Hisui has incredibly levelled up from what I can tell since the last time I saw you at EVO. I underestimated you in my predictions.
H-FBlade: Man I thought your Ciel was hot stuff at EVO but you weren't lying when you said you weren't in shape then. It looks like you've levelled up (or at least performed much better) and become even more solid. From what I could tell, the most significant difference was that you made much better decisions. Those combos are beautiful but those wakeup reversal supers man...
Desert Coast + Lokanas: WHERE WERE YOU GUYS?!
Kryojenix: Mech-Hisui is pretty interesting! I think you should've performed better though or maybe I should've done some awesome praying again.
Tsubasa, Sataya, Buzzsaw, LastElixir: You should've just eaten with us at Denny's.
Tsubasa: BAD HEATS. You need safe heat setups!
Buzzsaw: YOUR COMBOS ARE UGLY, GO TO PRACTICE MODE. You'd probably be actually able to beat Magz (and not to mention give us all that much more of a challenge) at SJSU if you had those down, I hope you took some notes watching Scott and H-FBlade. Good job on getting as far as you did.
Okay man I swear I had more to write and more people to write about... yeah okay keeping things in your head is a bad idea. Thanks to everyone for coming out and making this a memorable experience for Norcal. Until next time, 'cause I'll be learning that stick yo.
