Despite it being a small tournament the level of play was impressive and it was fun to watch. The character diversity to was great. Hawkgirl, Flash, Zod, Wonder Woman, Deathstroke, Raven, Sinestro, ect. Nice change from what we normally see.

 

[CrimsonShadow]

Sick tourney, loved the character diversity too.

This is probably the most diverse tournament of this size to happen since the launch of the game. Kudos to the AK guys for putting this together -- and to Reno for having an awesome place and opening it to all the guys.

I know most of the people on your list and easily one of the nicest communities I've met in any city. Except that brant guy. He's a dick. And mike he's a dick who doesn't even bother to travel.

 

[carrion4worm]

I really digged (dug?) the videos. People who bitch about NRS' ability to make a fighter are clueless. Just watching high level competition is great. My SF4 is sooo collecting dust on the ole game shelf. Rock on AK Pig Of The Hut, I finally see your wraith in action!

Yep

He's getting his stuff together now w inj

 

[Groove Heaven]

Smarrgasm I like your Aquaman

 

[Boodendorf]

BUT ZOD IS BAD BECAUSE M2DAVE SAID SO HOW COME HE WON A TOURNEY

snip

Not wanting to take any credit off Tre's HG, as I did enjoy watching Trepound play Hawkgirl (but too many MC used that should have been avoided and punished and too little corner combos), but I felt like every of his opponent had little to no knowledge of the matchup (nor did the commentators did lol).

Playing Hawkgirl against people that know the matchup is a completely different world.

Aside from that, I'm glad HG got some representation at that tourney, it's pretty cool since you don't see her often on streams .

Yea I agree this is a MU we have to force tre to teach us aNd show us

On my Kryptonite Academy pod cast series I'm starting I want HG to be early on so people better understand her

AK Trepound380 is the real deal and I'm stealing all of his Hawkgirl rushdown tech.

That 0-2 comeback from AK Reno_Racks was epic.

Is it just me or did AK Pig Of The Hut use Zod's push wakeup attack like every time he got knocked down? Is that the new bf2? lol

Absolutely I did until someone NJ it or MB it

It's -1 and awesome and confirmable to 18% MB on hit

Also using phantom strike after his strings sets up some nice FT and setups I never did cause I'm not use to using them in battle situations but in time they will show

Can I get a little props for wake up parry on flash's OTG f3 MB in corner???? That gave ZOD a prop boner

Being able to parry b3/f3 MB in corner is tight
