Aiight, let's get these shoutouts out of the way.
This was my first NEC of hopefully to be many more as long as people keep playing Soul Calibur. Next time, I will either have to get a room or crash in someone else's so that I can stay at the venue. I know some people have said how bad NEC was ran, but I think it went well overall. But trying to run that many games with that many people isn't going to go smooth as silk, especially with players all over the place. At least SC4 went well.
Shoutout to everyone that came through to NEC. It would have been nice if the turnout was higher, but whatever. The bracket still turned out to be a beast. I just have to put it together and get some wins in.
I should have stayed longer, but these funky ass gamers were drawing so much heat that I was about to pass out.
Jaxel - shoutout for running the tournament and for jumping on the stream for grand finals. Your commentary made it much better to watch. All you need to do now is stop losing to Zeroeffect and you'll be the man.
Kit - wasn't expecting you to come through. There's this thing called a forum where you can post some shit to let people know you're coming. I would have came through with more alcohol.
HackerMike - Fuck Hilde. I'll try not to suck the next time I face you.
KDZ - Fuck Hilde. Stop losing at SC4. You should have been in grand finals playa. Thanks for another asswhipping though.
LinkRKC - It was good to meet you for the first time. I also added you on Facebook. Maybe next time I will actually get to play you as long as it's not Ivy. Too many Ivy players over here. :-)
Thugish Pond - you sly muthafucka. I'll have to put you in an armbar so you'll have to explain wtf a thugish pond is. And shoutout for not using Amy. I'm sure you'll use her at the next grand finals because that's two losses to NYC right now. But I commend you for using everyone else but her. I don't know how many people would have done that, but that agreement really made the grand finals over the stream enjoyable to watch.
Canada - Good shit coming on through to NEC. You guys come from another country to come play while those who are 30 minutes away don't even make it. I need to get more games in with you guys. Shoutout to Eli for making KDZ switch to Cassandra.
Dreamkiller - Good shit on winning NEC and bringing your friend along with you in your pants. And shoutout for the $5 dollars for drinking my drank. I had more in the car, but I wanted to sober up so I could play somewhat decent at this damn game. But alcohol adds so much more fun to these tournaments. I also comment you for not only not using Amy in grand finals since Amy Vs Amy would have been gayer than two men fucking or Sagat Vs Sagat, but you won it all with Taki. Good shit.
Guido (Serge) - WTF is a Mike Denton. Your team was supposed to be called Team Guido or Team Fistpump or some shit like that. Good shit on beasting our team. I can't stand Xianghua. She gives me so many problems.
InsaneKhent - I don't know how you ended up on Dicks, but I guess if you get lost in Philly, you'll end up on Dicks.
Something-Unique - I don't know why you ain't just show up with NYC, but glad you made it. If I was Doug, I would have left you somewhere in North Philly.
Ramon - I completely forgot to money match you. Blame it on the alcohol.
Piggy - Good shit coming through to NEC. Don't quit Calibur.
Sporko - Damn, yo pizza got ate son. We'll get these bitches next time.
Zeroeffect - Good shit at NEC and for beating Jaxel again. I would have killed you if you lost.
350z - good shit bringing LinkRKC to Philly. Maybe one of these days we can bring Ring over here and Ivy it up. Now that NEC is over, it's time to start getting ready for EVO. We got to put some bitches out and represent. Don't knock the idea of the Larry sex toy. Think about it. I'm tryna get paid. Women everywhere and some dudes would be buying that shit like hotcakes.
5-hour Energy - you fucking taste like some old ass oranges, but you get the job done. GGs.
Dat Drank - you had me real loose for NEC. Thanks for being so tasty. I'll have to come up with a name for you soon enough.
Gamer chicks - some of yall were alright, some of yall should have either stayed home or offered freebees. But outside of a video game tournament, yall are not that hot.
Random fighting game scrubs - thanks for the keeping the main room real humid by drawing so much heat. I was 2 seconds away from passing out on the floor.
Guilty Gear gamers - I know yall want to have fun by throwing fake money around when yall could have just been playing for real money, but once you're done, pick that shit up.
Pringles - yall are so tasty. Keep it poppin'
Asian chick by the bar - I don't know who you are, but I was about 2 seconds away from clubbing you in the back of the head and rolling out of NEC with you without playing SC4. Luckily I wasn't drunk enough to commit a kidnapping, but you were fiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeee as hell though.
Jack Links Beef Jerky - yall jerky is good as shit. Everytime I have some, I feel like going to Saskatchewan and start fucking with some Sasquatches.
Strippers - Aaaaaaayyyyyyyyyuuuuuuussssssss!!!!!!!!!!! Especially the chick's who's as tall as me, your ass is sooo juicy.
Idlemind - You can't stay away from this community. Just take a break and get back into Calibur because I definitely want to see you at EVO. It won't be the same without you.
ATL - Did you guys quit Tekken as well as SC4? I figured you guys would be up here for T6. Where yall at?
DarksydePhil - Hopefully I spelled your name right. I was looking for you at NEC so I could heckle the shit out of you since you be beasting them online players, but I couldn't find you in the sea of hot ass gamers. Oh well.
I hope I didn't act like too much of an ass at NEC. At least I didn't drink too much. If I had a room and some liquor, it would have been on. I wish I would have known that Grand Finals was going on FADC's stream. I would have stayed just to yell dumb shit in the background. In 2010, I'll also have a camera that won't be so shitty, so I'll be taking more pictures and whatnot. The pics I did took are on Facebook if you haven't seen them already.
As for me, I'm not quitting this game no time soon. I just won't be able to make it out to Sunday tournaments. Hopefully 2010 will bring good things for Soul Calibur. And right now, I'm starting to plan for EVO. Hopefully SC4 will return to the lineup because people will travel to Vegas to compete in it. I'll be on vacation soon, so I will see you guys in 2010.
