Man I hate writing these things because I'm always worried I'm gonna leave someone off, and that that someone is gonna read this and just be like man, what the
fuck. But I guess there's no putting it off indefinitely.
First off shout outs to [MENTION=58]9.95[/MENTION] [MENTION=255]Shock[/MENTION] [MENTION=1580]BigE[/MENTION] and everyone who helped to run and organize this tournament. Without you there's no tournament and with no tournament I would, I dunno, do something productive instead of playing video games. So I mean thank god you were there for us! The alternative is horrifying.
[MENTION=2208]Noobe[/MENTION] : Good games dude. Those comebacks in rounds 1 and 2 of game 1 were nuts, I was so sure that I had those rounds and then you were just like "nope". Really nice hit confirms into net.
[MENTION=3835]Ernovaku[/MENTION] : GGs, I think you got a good Kitana, bro, you just need to be a little more patient. Also don't always go for the air fan, sometimes grounded fans are good too. Ground fans beat or trade with all my projectiles, the instant air fans don't. I forgot to mention that when you asked me what you could have done differently.
[MENTION=7303]CRAZY DOMINICAN[/MENTION] : GGs and congratulations on fifth. I have never played against a rushdown Kitana and I wasn't sure what to do about it. I guess I can't do any of the things I did, so that's good to know, it narrows it down a little.
Guns Tariq: I think these were GGs but I can't honestly remember anything about this match except that you played Ermac. Well they must have been GGs; if they
weren't GGs I would remember that, and I don't remember anything, so like, what does that tell you. Only one possible conclusion one can draw from that.
[MENTION=3088]Hitoshura[/MENTION] : The only downside to attending majors is that I don't get to hear your commentary. Well actually I'll probably go back and watch some recorded matches later, so there I go. I think you're right about the Liu Kang/Noob Saibot matchup, it feels more even than I would have guessed. Also I am sorry I made you so salty that you shut the console down. Looooooooooool nah I'm just kidding.
[MENTION=2200]w1nter warz[/MENTION] : Definitely the best Canadian keyboard player I have ever seen. And I don't say that sort of thing lightly.
[MENTION=5216]Mikemetroid[/MENTION] : Yo, Mikemetroid! That match you had with Noobe was so hype, everyone else was just like "damn who is this kid" and I'm just like "yo, that's Mikemetroid!" It is to my deep personal shame that we never got to run Test Your Luck, but we'll do it next time for sure. I'll be training for it.
[MENTION=275]Pig Of The Hut[/MENTION] : Congrats on top 8. I'm sorry I never got a chance to run that random select money match with you. Man all this stuff I was supposed to run with people that I never actually did. Well that'll all get squared away at some point, I'm sure.
[MENTION=4675]CD jr[/MENTION] : The funniest part of the weekend was where you babalitied that one kid in pre tournament casuals. I was just like daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. Gratz on 2nd place. I like your Smoke but I feel like you should be doing these bullshit 90% resets that he's got. I don't do them cause I don't have the execution to do it consistently, but I feel like you should be able to.
[MENTION=6624]Maxter[/MENTION] : Always a pleasure. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
[MENTION=4772]blueNINE[/MENTION] : Shout outs for bringing this Mitsuwa place to my attention. Who would have guessed there was such a place nestled within otherwise unassuming Edgewater, New Jersey. I hope by the next one of these things you've got your own stick back.
[MENTION=3232]Why[/MENTION] :
Gotta give shoutouts to MCPeanuts and PimpUigi for coming from two demographics to cheer me on during my semi-scrubby demonstration. Didn't expect that from you, appreciate the advice.
You know how I do, son. I got to hold it down for New England. Hope to see you at the next Connecticut tournament. I'm serious, just abuse the shit out of straight missile, it's one of the best projectiles in the game.
Shout outs to everyone else that I forgot, I am legit so sorry for forgetting you, but you know that you will always have a special place in my heart.
Hope to see alla y'all at Winter Brawl. Or maybe APEX, I dunno, I may go to that, kinda on the fence right now.
