GROUP C

4. So Real Josh [-9]

Top 2 qualify for top 8. 3rd place gets second chance. HD Hollow gains automatic qualification having the best win/loss record [-1]. Nicotine and Sotiris play off for the final spot: Nicotine prevails.

Every group was super tough this time. Group A had 3 of the top 4 from last time. 10 out of 12 players had points on the leaderboard prior to this tournament.

In Group B: ShinJin's Astaroth swept all before him. Nicotine (Voldo) and Hyrul (Leixia) survived tough games against J. Miller's quick-stepping Xiba, before Hyrul overcame Nicotine to clinch 2nd.

Too many close games to call. Dark horse Grunt Dude was a serious contender having been blowing mans up online, but his dry Xiba came unstuck against ShinJin in the Winners semi. Jesse also looked ominous for his opponents having taken Viola to 2nd last time, but Hyrul was able to edge him out in another close encounter, outspamming him with Leixia.

In the Losers, HD Hollow was unable to perform BE and other attacks thanks to a controller malfunction, severely hampering the mighty Algol's combos, but still managed to follow up his prior strong performance with a 5th place finish, after taking out master of inconsistency Silent Joel and his various characters. Nicotine couldn't capitalise on his 3rd place playoff win, with Talon holding his nerve to take out both Nico and Jesse, proving once again that the sword and shield are indeed mightier than the orb.

However, the pressure was too much as he succumbed to Grunt Dude in an epic 4th place match, with Xiba holding on to his last scrap of health to burst crackpipe Pyrrha's guard and steal the win. Grunt Dude then met his nemesis ShinJin once again, and seemed to forget he had an A button as the golem found he could do 22B all day for free.

This set up a third confrontation between ShinJin and Hyrul, the latter having used his superior mindgames to win the last match in the Winners Final by hitting Astaroth with a vertical attack that somehow tracked 90 degrees and had a giant ghost hitbox. After two close matches against Tira, ShinJin switched to Cervantes to promptly, how do you say, smack the bitch up. Following the reset, Hyrul had a Buddha-like moment of calm, randomly chose Nightmare, and was able to spam 1K and 22A for an anti-climactic victory.

Thanks again all who turned out, hope to see you all next time and more, including the ominously missing Bushindu, Testiskulls and Jet. Hopefully we'll have videos soon. I want to play all you 360 people online in the meantime.

Major respect to Grunt Dude for hitting top 3!
Intersting top 8 in general actually, grats to all the players who got there!

^_^
 
Yeah, he's pretty good, without doubt the dryest motherfucker I've ever played in SCV, lol.
Online I do pretty well against him, but thats only because I need to guess right like twice, would NOT want to play him with a character that does less than 100 dmg at a time, heh. Props to him for placing so high!
