Ultimate win for Youtube's '10 minute/100MB limit' for real.

[Free]

ooooooooooo Bi weekly

[PhaethonH]

I'm gonna borrow this thread to post FFA Ranbat results, as well.

[Dr. Stormlocke]

Good times. I'll beat Pulsr one day, with some sort of ultimate gimmick created just for our tourney match.

[deci]

stormlocke, i think you should play that eyeball game more to improve your reflexes... atleast that's my plan for getting better for guilty gear.

[Mike Z]

Eyeball game controls were broken - my GF got really angry at it. (^.^)
3 hr drive was totally worth it to see everyone, even Hellmonkey who I never found afterwards.

Mike Z

[deci]

mike did she use the 1p or 2p side? the 1p side seemed ok... (i think)

[shtkn]

fun times everyone... so after seeing how things went this week, i think we can move the start time later by 30 min or more. what say you jo?

[futureJT]

I got to AI after it had just ended =/

Have the videos already been posted anywhere?

[Zaido]

Mike_Z barely made it in time for his turn :P, so i guess makign it start a little bit later is cool with me :X

[Jo]

Vids added to results post.

[Dr. Stormlocke]

Thanks for uploading Jo. Lol @ the hype. We need to get Justus and Jo megaphones for next time. We'll need a delay button for Justus probably though.

[rtl42]

i love how render's JO is SHINING WHITE with no discernible features.

could whoever encodes the videos make the names in a different colour than white? most of the names disappear against the glare in the videos.

[Jo]

Yeah, I didn't mess with my camcorder much so white things came out to be much whiter than expected. It'll be better next time.

[Zaido]

Gj jo for uploading the vid

[Youzansen]

Jo you can upload your matches at http://www.veoh.com/ for better quality than youtube

[Jo]

First post updated with latest tournament info! Vids'll be up soon. ;D

[Hellmonkey]

whoo~

[Spirit Juice]

[Dr. Stormlocke]

Work isn't going to stop me from going to the next one I swear! Who ended up taking my seed? Were the brackets crazy with 30 people or what?

And yes, still not enough O YeknoM.

[Jo]

Eiji did. The brackets were longer than expected, lol. I was pretty surprised at the turnout. :o

[SH_]

what's up cali bitches, good stuff yo, needs to win more monkey (or yeknom, watch trolls 2, they do it better), but on the real quality stuff, I give you cali guys :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: :psyduck: out of 5.

[ShinDVDz]

Last night was awesome, loved playing with you guys as always. And check this, I got 3 wins on the machine last night. w0000000000000t

Oh yeah, and you loli-lovers/Arcana Heart players sicken me.

[deci]

Work isn't going to stop me from going to the next one I swear! Who ended up taking my seed? Were the brackets crazy with 30 people or what?

And yes, still not enough O YeknoM.

maybe... but he gets bonus points for winning almost all of his matches with razorcrane. vs pulsr in semi's he won both rounds by razorcrane i beleive.

[Shinjin]

Hellmonkey god damn! Get that O up or I´ll slap you!

[koogy]

hellmonkey was born inside a fiery volcano.

[Hellmonkey]

OBJECTION ;o

[722]

lol shit stormlocke's robot is cool

Also is Eiji new or something because I hadn't heard of him before

[koogy]

[Spirit Juice]

can i rent justus's voice by the hour for reno ranbats

Justus voice should be rent by the hour for any tournament.

[Hellmonkey]

[Spirit Juice]

cheaters >:o

JAMA DA

[Zaido]

lol shit stormlocke's robot is cool

Also is Eiji new or something because I hadn't heard of him before

Eiji doesn't really post on any known forum that i know of :V

[TittyFOFO]

Tell Justus to pick a fucking character and stick with them. By which I actually mean go back to playing Venom :psyduck:

[Hellmonkey]

Justus + Venom = major complaining

please stick with zappa

[Dr. Stormlocke]

"I hate Venom man he's the worst character in the game!"

I wanted to scream in my Justus voice, "They nerfed Raoh so hard!" as he did that 100% combo on Purrin. Wasn't quick enough.

[Jo]

lol shit stormlocke's robot is cool

Also is Eiji new or something because I hadn't heard of him before

"Eiji" actually placed top 8 at EVO '03. Name is Alex T.

[deci]

please don't change characters justus... that zappa is way too fun to watch. (although "not getting hit" sucks ass when you're playing against it)

[Zaido]

we need zappa in cali :V!

[Jo]

First post updated with videos! Don't think the quality is any better than last times, though. Note to people: Stop using white colors. Seriously.

[bizarro]

nice matches, and LOL at the phaethon vs. monkey match :v:

[Jo]

First post updated with results!

[Dr. Stormlocke]

I heard Colossus is coming back to the next RanBat...and he's bringing friends!? X-MEN!

Good shit everyone, epic turnout. Hype train was in full swing this time, we had more people lose their voice than ever before!

[bizarro]

Yeah I heard this week had 36 entrants, congrats on ur turnouts :D

[Honnou]

Colossus? THAT MEANS CHARGING UP!

UORGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Jo]

Yo' FRC. For everyone who is interested, NEW AND HIGHER QUALITY vids are now up thanks to Mike Z's video teachings. ;D Check 'em out!

GJ David for not losing to Potemkin this time.

[Zaido]

[Jo]

[Jo]

UPDATE WITH VIDEOS! That'll pop this thread up a few notches. See Zaido's Slayer combos. Fucking monster.

[Zaido]

[Dr. Stormlocke]

I'm not going to get Pot Bustered out of Level 3 Horsie startup next time. God if that connected... Damn you Ken-I!

Thanks for uploading Jo. GGs to all.

[TGS]

Pick Johnny against me = Insta-lose for me. :(

[render]

Dude, you almost beat my scrubby ass. Stop complaining. :vbang:

:kitty:

[Memorick]

What time do you guys usually start?

[Zaido]

What time do you guys usually start?

around 9:00 ish maybe 9:30?

[render]

9 is when signups end. 9:30 is usually when the brackets are done and we get things started.

[Jo]

Updated with results from last night.

[Jo]

Woo! Videos are now added to the first post. Check 'em out. GO. GOGOGOGOGO. Damn I'm tired.

[Jo]

[ShinDVDz]

Damn, Jo, first you can't do division, now you can't spell? :eng101:

[Jo]

Videos from Friday's ranbats are up. Aaaaaaaaaaaand GO!

[Dr. Stormlocke]

Thanks for the vids as always Jo.

Pulsr's name at this RanBat cracked me up, sooooo true.

[Zaido]

so many slayers!

[Free]

sextaro is in the zone

[Lazreal]

hey it would be sweet if you had peoples names floating next to the burst bar, kinda like A-Cho vids, Gives each match Faces & Names brings more signifagance


And That Pachunk was BRutal ; who was playing Red Pachunk?

[rtl42]

it says in the video description.

[Jo]

Results edited into the first post!

[Spirit Juice]

lol @ hellmonkey's name

[Dr. Stormlocke]

Jo attained Gangsta status with the RanBat bonuses. I mean it is the season to be generous man, but holy gentle jesus. Really nice of you.


Also, I think there's going to have to be a change in some Guilty Gear terminology:

Impossible Dust = Trying to do a Dust combo at Arcade Infinity.

I suppose on the flip side a new Stormlockable was born. Can't really argue with that.

GGs to everyone I played, even if the sticks made me want to run out the front of AI and toss myself down the stairs.

[Zaido]

damn Jo!!! Generous man! :)

and EIJI!!!

[render]

<3 Jo. Jo is too pimp. I vote Jo gets free food after every single ranbat.

[Honnou]

wait where did that money come from? Jo's pocket?

[rtl42]

[deci]

<3 Jo. Jo is too pimp. I vote Jo gets free food after every single ranbat.
