CHRISTMAS DAMAGER - The dust has settled...

[Lennysaurus]

Thanks everyone that turned up, it was awesome.  Big shout outs to the Blazblue community turning up and making the event awesome!  You guys put on good numbers, and the few games I saw looked awesome!  Will be doing more tournaments for that for sure.  One question I'd like to ask, is that if the tournament were on XBOX would we have got the same numbers?

Big thanks to the guys that let us use thier equipment!  Especially Mason and Euan, who also did alot of help setting up the Hyper Fighting xboxes.  Thanks Graeme (Geneterror) for his help as the unofficial tournament helper for the Blazblue tournament.

Top 3 for Each Game:

Super Street Fighter IV Doubles
1st place - Team Deazel (Weazzey and Fong)
2nd place - Yeam Volatile (Smoof and Masi4h)
3rd place - Team Bedroom Intruders (Blackstar Ninja and Lenny "The Ngati Kahungunu Champ")

Thanks to Rory, Lenny & Graeme for organising Xmas Damager. I was well impressed with the tournament boards and how you guys ran everything.

GG's to everyone I played in the 2V2's - especially Lenny and Scribble.

Was also nice to meet a few new people - Akuma1nz, I hope you get that Xbox soon bro...and also The Ken player Buda and I had a chat to David* (sorry I don't remember your name).

Congratulations to all the finalists - Euan I was well empressed with your Ken, Weazzy nice work under pressure - Fong you cracked me up being on the phone between rounds and still dealing the punishment.

Thanks to Rory, Lenny & Graeme for organising Xmas Damager. I was well impressed with the tournament boards and how you guys ran everything.

I would like to point out that I did fuck all and left early, and feel i need due recognition.

Also big ups to you Blazblue players. You guys really represented today. Im really disappointed that I couldn't be there for the finals and that I couldn't enter anything. Would've been good to get a solid chat in with all you guys. Will have to wait until the next one.

Yeah thanks alot Lenny, Rory, Bill, Graeme. Awesome games today though I and most others were definitely off point. I dunno I haven't played XBL in like 3 days and was only LANing/practicing combos and never had a problem but today could barely shoryuken off tatsu, let alone sweep. I was getting a bit nervous though so that could be it. But yeah me and smoof got second, pretty happy. Fong busted out the good Fong in the final and Weazzy playing real solid.

Good to meet Nick4Now and Flash again and also nice to meet Redtie. Also hi to everyone else there and great turnout for BB.

Also we were team Troll Badguy, I think volatile was Fong/Weazzy's team name.

Overall I got juggled in BB, thrown in HF and spammed fireballs to second place in SSF4. But yeah GGs all.

And yeah that mm..........

GG, this was an awesome Tournament. U-man was just so solid throughout the day and Im still salty about losing to him (Need a salty run back for sure). Also real good games at the end with those crazy team games Jay, Waza, Fong, Irumble, matt. Congrats to fong and weazzy winning SSF4 and all the other players as well. Good to see people out supporting their scene wither being Blazblue, SFII HF or SSF4.

When is the next event? Im so KEEN!!

P.S. Really want Blazblue for xbox. Where do I get it?

[massi4h]

Mightyape keep delaying it. And come to WellyLAN in January. Should be awesome if we can get lots of the community to go down/up/stay still.

Well that was fun. Shoutouts to guys turning up to BB tournament. Can't wait for the next one, where the standard is definitely going to be higher due to it being released on xbox. Everyone's gonna be BEAST after some good practice. Me included, eh

Shot organisers. Lol Rory if you want me to actually help out with the BB side of stuff again I can do it.

Special shout outs to the BB casual games after, ie Mr Fantastic, Alan, Graeme; shot guys. TAKU I never got to play your Tager! You still needa beat me for last ranbats lol.

GG's.




Oh and keep BB PS3 lol. It will def be more popular if you keep it on that, since I know a lot of people play it on PS3 pad. No difference to the xbox version, so it doesn't really matter if you're using a stick anyway, right?

Props to Rory, Lenny and Graeme for putting together an awesome event. I was really surprised by the number of people who showed up, Especially for BB:CS. Good games to everyone I played in SSF4, SF2:HF and BB haha.

Also real good games at the end with those crazy team games Jay, Waza, Fong, Irumble, matt.

Hard. Those were some fun matches. I wish I was playing like I was in those casuals during the 2v2. Always next time  . Also, Jarrett (Waza) keen on organising some more jams for us south siders and anyone else keen to level up together.

So, this has been my first year with NZism and I have to say its been frikken AWESOME!! Look forward to next year!
