Fun times hanging with
DanCock at NEC... we played some MK2 sets and I think he beat me 30-1. Awesome games hahaha.
I feel like I did pretty well considering that I play a scant few hours and week and lack matchup experience against half the cast hahaha. I went 3 deep into my pool all in Winners, then faced FightingGM (Lee/Violet) who sent me to losers... where I immediately played Blood Hawk (Markduk/Leo) and was knocked out. I think if I'd beaten Blood Hawk I would've been in losers finals? Nothing I could've done though... I have zero Leo experience. Just my luck that I have to play two of the top players in NYC (the country?) back to back hahaha.
Fun tournament though, I had a good time. I think Dancock recorded one of my matches on his phone. I had enough fun that I might actually try to put a little more time into the game, learn my matchups, try and do better next time. We'll see what life allows!
PS, for anyone who doesn't know, AceUnlimited is NOT new to Tekken or anything. He's been playing since at least DR, if not longer. We used to play a lot back then, but wow has he clearly leveled up. Imagine how big/strong the MK9 scene could've been if it had real netcode...
