Mad struggs, maaaaaaaane. Manny's been working on some new dudes while I was away. :eek:

Somebody gimme the Heimlich, I choked in very last round. Manny changed up on me, and I couldn't adapt. Fought like an idiot. That's all she wrote. Oh, but wait! Even more epic, Manny straight smoked my T. Hawk 3-0 in one fight. Like not even close. Also, I discovered the Psycho Punisher > the Raging Slash.

Fuck that, I'm The Greatest. :'(:'(:'(

I called it

Neither of you wants to recap the DRAMA?

I'm going to go ahead and eliminate Ant AND thecc this round.

Manny, send a PM to Boomer telling him he plays you next round and see if he's still interested.

cuntface :'(

seriously crazy series, even the last match was tied 2 rounds each.

Then my high gets killed when my desktop power supply shits out on me in the middle of my detailed match post. God tonight sucked.

It got blown apart by the sheer awesome of our grand battle. :'(

Was in the process of doing this before my comp shit out.

Basically this: he won first two, then i won two, then he won one, then i won two, then he won one, then i won the last one 3-2.

Upload the relays. Or don't. I'll do it later if you don't.

Gonna be... busy this weekend. Real world shit. Sorry.

When making plans, it's better to list the days when you ARE free instead of the days when you are not free.

Why did I have to type that?

I've been interested all along, but fuck if I can schedule this shit in like you want me to. I wish I had time to play games on a set schedule.

"Kalyx is busy this weekend, so maybe we'll fight after that."

I'm more sure of when I'm not available then when I can play. This isn't 2007, and contrary to people's perception of me, I really don't game like I used to.

we will set up a time soon Boomer. Im actually gonna be pretty busy myself because im in the process of moving.

Unfortunately it also looks like i may land a job with shitty hours (basically taking up my entire day, getting home 12-2 every night) so my gaming will more than likely decline as well...at least with those i play with on nights.

Kalyx vs Blitz about to go down.

Blitz has improved dramatically in the last year. Far more than I have.

Nah it was a slaughter. Kalyx wins 5-1. I'll let him post recaps if he likes, but it was nothing really to write home about. I haven't touched Street Fighter since Funky and I played, and I'm woefully out of practice. Wake up ultras all over the place.

Also Kalyx, sorry bout not messaging you back. Soon as I plugged my fightpad in, I couldn't use any directional buttons in the Xbox menu. But it worked in the game itself. Fucking stupid glitch.

:(

Was thinking you would take at least 3

Any of these matches you wanna watch just ask and we could check out the replays.

Match 1a

Ken (Kalyx) vs Guy (Blitz)

The connection was terrible but we trucked along. After trading wins the connection dropped completely. We would restart afterward.

Match 1b

Ken (Kalyx) vs Guy (Blitz)

With a much better connection we kicked off our series with some heated exchanges. I forgot how apt Blitz was with Guy and he's certainly a much safer fighter now. Even still I took it, but the matches were good - a tone set for the series. Pulled off a sick series of hits in the corner and was proud of myself.

Ken (Kalyx) wins 3-1

Match 2

Chun Li (Kalyx) vs Cammy (Blitz)

This was a step for me and Chun Li's relationship, taking her out to the tournament. Looks like a double date, too, with Blitz bringing Cammy and making me worry I stepped into a bad match-up. I played it safe and avoided giving Blitz free Canon Spikes. I was happy to see his Cammy didn't capitalize on a few of my mistakes. One-two many whiffed specials helped me out, too.

Chun Li (Kalyx) wins 3-1

Match 3

Ken (Kalyx) vs Ibuki (Blitz)

HOT DAMN. This was a tense match. Ibuki was too fast for some of my approaches and I adjusted after Blitz' Ibuki seemed to have my number. After the first match I incorporated more fire balls and Shoryu's to keep the ninja bitch away. Blitz pulled some stunts that had me worried. Highly recommend watching the replay.

Ken (Kalyx) wins 3-2

Match 4

Sakura (Kalyx) vs Guy (Blitz)

Pretty much punishing Guy's whiffed moves and played it safe.

Sakura (Kalyx) wins 3-1

Match 5

Chun Li (Kalyx) vs Ibuki (Blitz)

Swerve. Thinking my Chun Li had the tools to keep Ibuki out, Blitz carefully picks me apart each round. There was a rather of hilarious case of KOcide by Blitz, but he ended up taking the match overall. Very close fight, and Blitz keeps the series alive.

Ibuki (Blitz) wins 2-3

Match 6

Ken (Blitz) vs Sakura (Kalyx)

With Ibuki and Guy used up, I was fairly confident Blitz had no answer for my Sakura. Blitz caught me with more Shoryus then I should have allowed, but EX Senpuu combos ftw.

Sakura (Kalyx) wins 1-3

A very good series. Don't the '3-1's fool you, they were mostly great matches with cool moments and finishes. Blitz is a good Guy and his Ibuki is becoming a bitch.

The actual matches were good, even if the series looked like a wash. I had fun and liked fighting your Ibuki.

Hopping back on BTW.

ROUND 4


RULES:

- Time Limit: 99, Rounds: 5

- Best of 9 (Nine). FIVE OUT OF NINE (Drakul)

- You can only pick the same character twice.

TIPS:

- Clean up your connection. Do what you can, at least. Stop downloading porn/movies/whatever. Tell your MOM to get off the computer, you're playing in a fighting video game tournament for an internet wrestling message board. As long as Hasney isn't using his tethered iphone for a connection, we should be okay,

- Save replays. Please. After the entire round, obv. Don't play a match and go save and play a match and go save. That's dumb. And label them properly.

- Take a breather between matches. It helps.


Bye: 7. alvarado52 - Pwners Manuel (2-1)


BRACKETS:

1. Kalyx - Kalyx triaD 360(2-0)
vs.
2. RoXer - RoXer1(2-0)

Only one winner will emerge. Loser will be put in a triangle chokehold and forced to the ground. And then flipped over and put in a hammerlock. And the crowd is going crazy. And boom, the winner will emerge victorious. $18,000 and a chance at the title! YEAHHHH!

I mean, loser is eliminated. Winner is guaranteed at least 2nd place.

5. Drakul - Drakulbites (2-1)
vs.
6. Blitz - Luneknight (2-1)

This should be a really good matchup. Pick'em odds. I have no idea which way this will go.


4. Khunty - KHUNTRY(1-1)
vs.
8. Boomer - jtboomer2 (2-1)

Winner fights Manny. Loser is eliminated.


8th Place: Funky Fly - Busted Funk(0-2)
9th Place: Ant - TonyRomoASL (1-2)
10th Place: thecc - falloftheage (1-2)
11th Place: G/Juan/Fignuts (0-2)
12th Place: Hasney - Hasney (0-2)


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



SEPTEMBER 5TH

I gave Funky 8th place since he actually fought his matches

Kalyx, I won't fight you till I get my new TV sometime next week. Maybe next weekend. I'll message you next Thursday to see whats what

Yeah fuck, definitely missed input for a Kunai on that KOcide.

I switched and gave Alvarado the bye since he's played his matches. No reason he should be in danger of elimination for actually participating.

who did i lose to?

Drakul

when? i beat him

In the wrong format, two weeks after the deadline and after I had already advanced the matchup via coinflip.

Sorry. :-\

whatever

Go message Boomer right now to set up a time so you don't have to sneak in your W after I advanced it like last time.

cute

I dunno. I see Blitz taking the series 5-3. Drakul's Zangief is damn near unstoppable, but Blitz uses both Cammy and Ibuki. Fucking great low and inside. Outside of a couple of other guys, I don't know what Drakul's cooking up.

Hey Khuntry wanna play right now?

I don't mind you casually brushing off my sarcasm so long as you actually set up your match

Khuntry's done for tonite, I think.

I totally know how to abuse Gief with Cammy and I suggest Blitz practices Spiral Arrow on command.

BTW, I'm gonna beat RoXer's ass.
