[Oct 7, 2011] DEVASTATION 2011 (Phoenix, Arizona)

LOL I've got nothing more to say if you guys were really that impressed with SJ play. Lolo was great though.

I'll explain what I mean by poor decision making when I see it at DEV.

I hardly cared about losing in Pasadena due to the fact we had one 9 inch CRT and the rest of the TVs lagged horrifically. Things went a whole lot better at HRD's place after, but those were casuals idk how seriously you guys were taking those.

If I do end up losing a lot, sure, I was wrong, but, whatever. I like seeing that there's room for me to improve, that feeling of getting better is the best and I don't lose to enough people often enough to see how I can be better. The soul will still burn.

Lol this is your first major, it's gonna be a huge eye-opener for you. Trust me on this one. Things are different when you're in the hot seat...

Note to all: I'll probably only take a few small stakes (5-10 bucks) mms at first and then play more with the money I make. Just found out my dog probably has liver cancer...don't know for sure because the fuckin' ultrasound is damn near 400 dollars. Still, mi ma is talking about getting her put down. Hopefully she isn't dead by the time I get back. I'm still giving you twenty, Lolo.

I was pretty sure you all said you wouldn't be able to pick me up Friday afternoon but, if that isn't true, I would like a ride.

And me on the floor.

Im bringing a 19 CRT and my xbawks for casuals and MM's in GO's room. So far its Greatone, LP, Me and are you ready for this......drum roll please.......HRJ!! HRJ will be taking challenges against his Maxi.

Ill be there early Saturday morning prolly round 9 or 10am. And Ill be leaving very shortly after Grand Finals on Sunday.

HRD

Sad news - my nephew won't be coming down until maybe Saturday, since he has mid-terms on Friday (mid-terms in elementary school? The fuck, Arizona?) But let know HRJ I got $5 against his Maxi!

Ah, cool. I get to play some of the best SC players in the scene as of current BEFORE I get to sleep on the floor. :P Looking forward to meeting you all.

I'm about to look at the online registrations and start initial bracketing (yay for having to wait for onsite regs). This is not going to be an easy win for anyone, especially since I'll be placing myself in the grand finals (super bye FTW!).

GET HYPE!

Soul Calibur IV will have a minimum of 4 setups ALL WEEKEND LONG. Since there's no tournament on Friday, you guys can just play casuals all day, have an impromptu team tournament... whatever you want.

As much of the SC4 tournament as possible will be streamed. At the very LEAST, the entire winner's bracket after the first round will be streamed, but it's not out of the question to see the whole thing broadcast (depending on time constraints and the number of total entries).

Will get the actual time after I get out of class, but I think it's around 12 or 1...pretty sure it's twelve because of the change in timezones though.

Can try to calm it down, but I use rather vulgar language.

I'm still working through SC4 entries, but right now we're at ~50 players.

There are still over 200 people who have purchased tickets, but have not selected a game schedule. Plus, we still have a ton of people who will sign up at the door (usually we get 80% of our registrations at the door).

GET HYPE!

I hope Charbon?/Chabron? enters. MIND GAMES

Charbon has entered.

Oddly enough, even though we have ~50 people entered so far, there are quite a few players in this thread who already have hotel and travel arrangements, but have not made their game list. Everyone likes to wait until the last minute... >_>

I'm pretty sure I know who the top players are, but if you guys want to give me a quick list I'd appreciate it. I'm trying to avoid as many death pools as possible.

Oh man, dont even trip on that. I cuss like a sailor when hes around. He understands that there are things that Dad says that he cant. Hes a really good kid. Respectful the whole nine!

However something has come up and I might have to cancel DEV. Im pretty pissed off!!

HRD

Varsity: Omega, lolo, RTD, Dreamkiller, KrayzieCD, with Xeph, LP and Noface coming off the bench (imo)

Xeph, LP, and Noface are all better than me so I guess that means I'm coming off the bench.

You see this Greatone?? It's time to get that plan in motion!
