Jesus fucking christ what a waste of money and time. Listen man, events like this are the prime obstacle a game like Melty Blood is facing. In case you aren't sure what I mean, otaku losers who don't play fighting games with no arcade of tournament experience trying to run events. The "ranbat" was 2 hours late, you had the wrong brackets, and didn't even have the fucking machine on event mode. I don't know what I was thinking driving an hour and a half out there, and then circling the parking lot for 20 minutes for a parking spot (although this wasn't under your control) but to have to put up with this half assed so called "ranbat" really rubs salt in the wound. Maybe if someone else takes these over I might consider it for now on, although that really depends on how everyone else from IF feels, and from what I could tell, its definitely not likely. Cheers to everyone who showed up to support, but fuck shitty events like that.

Gah, SO BAD!! I'm sorry, but this tournament was a joke. So lucky that there were cute girls everywhere for me and Santos to look at or we would have left a LONG time ago.

I guess I lucked out by choosing to have dinner with family instead of coming to this event.

Sorry to the unfortunately participants though, hopefully you guys at least got your money back.

arly you are being to nice.
dont run or enter anymore tournaments.
who plans these kind of tournaments???
the answer is nobody.  get some experience from the arcade scene before you do such a thing.
just go back home and lock yourself in your room so noone has to see that fucking face of yours.
you might also want to cut yourself :emo:. i dont care where it is.  also you talk fuckin too much if we dont respond we dont care for what you say.  i wanna just tear out your vocal chords and set it aflame.
i dont even consider you otaku. you are way below more like mentally retarded.

From my good friend,
EAT A DICK.

in all seriousness... you wanted to start a tourny.. knowing that you had no experience what so ever and you didnt bother asking anyone beforehand how to run one.. youre getting ripped apart here, so i wont add on to it.. but id have to say hold off on trying to run any tournys, cuz you lost all credibility with the community.  ill just end it there.  dont cry, people make mistakes.
