New to TYM - Life long MK player, Tournament Competitive

Hello all,

Just wanted to introduce myself quickly. I'm 29 years old and have been playing MK since MK1. As a teenager I competed in local MK2/Mk3/UMK3 tournaments, but couldn't get excited about any title in the MK series aside from Trilogy on the N64. That has been my go-to MK game since it's release.

Obviously I fell away from tournament competition due to not following the series, but this game is what I have been waiting on for over a decade. I am competing this weekend in the Long Beach, CA tournament and also next month at E3's reveLAtions tournament. On that note - 1 interesting thing about myself - I am a Producer in the video game industry (I have worked on several big MMORPG's) here in Orange County.

I do play online on the PS3 under the screen name of CaliMaestro (you can google the name CaliMaestro to see some of what I have done in the game industry if you are interested) and as of yesterday was ranked 33. I do realize that playing online and being ranked doesn't mean much, but I still find it to be a great way to see what characters my friends and I do not use can do in human vs. human match. My training partners (co-workers) and I spent hours and hours each week getting ready for the tournament scene.

Can't wait to see you guys out there!

Hit me up on PSN. Tag is PunchYaFace. I'm always looking for good comp. Don't have much where I live. So most has to be online.
