Street Fighter IV Nationals August 09

[CrazyMobius]

Sorry if there is another thread on this one but thought it would be cool to start fresh.

Firstly thanks so much for Alan Lenny Andy and RVB. Awesome, awesome day. Congrats to Simon for taking the title. Mean Sagat.

Good to put a face to some of the names I've met online, Cpt Munta, Coffindrop, Weazy, Ericson, Skullator to name a few. Also good to catch up with the ol school regulars.

Sux that I got put up against James twice! But them the breaks. -_-.

Can't wait to see the matches uploaded on youtube or something and here the post tournament evaluations!

Awesome stuff!

Yeah bro, fully thanks to Alan, Lenny and Andy for the awesome as day. You guys really made a kick ass event today.

Chrissie and I are looking / working through the footage now, should be up soon.

Great to put names to faces: Skullator, Coffindrop, Ericson, Pjai, Techhit, Eru, and many others, and of course my bro from the deep south CptMunta!

Props to Kevin, Simon, Ben and Andy for some intense battles in the finals. Awesome shit.

Best match for me:

Simon (Crazymobius) Dhalsim VS Matt (lightweight) Honda

EPIC YIFANS GRUDGE MATCH


Will post here with the youtube links for you all to look over and be amazed. It's be great to see the standings/rankings from the day too!

Just finished having my cry

Sooooooo shatered i done shit at tourney, nerves are gay. Fucken paused twice against munta, fucking shit, ggs though. I redeemed myself in the casuals, but still , if it aint in tourney it dont mean shit.

someone should've recorded that 5-0 ass jacking i gave Hue (let the excuses come) to see the Sagat that should've won. Nah allgood, thanks FLUX,LEO and RVB and shit, and shout out to the girl at the bus stop who wanted me to take her home and rip into her (She was keen man, she was keen )


Dont get TOO HYPE it makes the nerves worst i reckon.
My favourite match:

[[NIUE] weazzyefff]

Oh 1st Simon(Sagat/Abel) 2nd Kevin (Zangief) 3rd Ben(Boxer/Sagat) tough titties to everyone else.Wait till you see the matchvidz theres some mean ones.

Fuck i'm sick as now too, anyone else get sick?.It's probably because i STOPPED DRINKING. Fuck the pigs had a breathalyser chech point on the onramp to go west, they pulled up the guy infront of me and waved me through, so guess i do have a lil luck.

[Lennysaurus]

Was an awesome, awesome day.

Big ups to our judges who put in a massive effort.

Big ups to the sponsors that dropped all; the phat loot for us.

Big ups to the community for fucking showing up and contributing to the largest fighting game tourney I have ever seen in NZ.

Simonfish grats mate you deserved it!  You didnt get it given to you easily, as you plowed through some tough matches.

To the rest of you!  No time to rest on your laurels.  Get yourself a partner and start training!   Watch this space!  Doubles tourneys coming soon!

Be ready!

[fluxcore]

Wow, thanks so much everyone for coming, all up there were 47 entrants, so it was actually really close to the number I was expecting.

Huge thanks to RvB, time and time again they provide such a great venue and service, and were really understanding even though we went a bit over the time by which we had to be out of there. Also for sorting out the pre-release Tekken 6 setup, which I never even got to see, but I hear it was there! Anyone from here get to try it out?

Thanks to the sponsors, Monaco (NZ importers of Capcom games and some other stuff, for many games and figurines), GIGA internet cafe (for the 2nd place prize stick plus lots more), Buttonmasher.co.nz (for some really sweet games), and Mark One comics & games Hamilton (for giving me a good price on the comics).

Thanks Toomeke and Geneterror for helping out with the 1st prize stick and artwork, your contributions are very much appreciated (and will be compensated for of course )

Huge thanks to the judges for volunteering, I know it meant you sometimes missed seeing some big matches, and perhaps didn't have quite the opportunity to think about your own games as much.

Super thanks to Lenny and Andy, my right and left hands, couldn't have done it without you guys.

And of course the biggest thanks to everyone that entered! There's no event without you, and this really made me feel like all the effort our community has put into all of this has paid off. It's been a long hard road for NZism, so it's really great to have such an awesome turnout and competition. You should all be really proud of yourselves for stepping up and competing, and I hope to see all you at future events!

BTW all comments and feedback is appreciated!
