Got a bit of a house emergency, will probably only make it for the BBCS tourney if at all (guess there is always next time=/)

If I do make it and its on Console, will anyone lend me their stick? The person that does will get 100 ShinAT points which will be redeemable when I rule the world.

Wow. That felt great to get back in action with a brand new season of FFA airdashers!

Here's the gritty results:

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift:

1st: Mike Z. [Tager]

2nd: Severin [Λ-11, Litchi]

3rd: Zong_One [Carl]

4th: Ike Takeda [Hazama]

5th: Id_ASZ [Carl]

5th: Xie [Hakumen, Hazama, Λ-11, Tsubaki]

7th: Mäkötö Cämärö [Makoto]

7th: Soniti [Ragna]

9th: Mooyang [Noel]

9th: Blue Garbage [Arakune]

9th: Crimson Blaze [Tager]

9th: Torn Apart [bang]

13th: Jason D. [Rachel]

13th: Advent [Λ-11, μ-12, Ragna]

13th: Gamerboy [Ragna]

13th: Holeymeister [Noel]

17th: Ms. Jin Kisaragi [Jin, Tsubaki]

17th: Fake [Ragna]

17th: No Drinks [Hakumen]

17th: Tronzilla666 [Λ-11]

17th: Raptor [Noel]

Best of...:

Tager: Mike Z.

Λ-11: Severin

Carl: Zong_One

Hazama: Ike Takeda

Hakumen: Xie

Makoto: Mäkötö Cämärö

Ragna: Soniti

Noel: Mooyang

Arakune: Blue Garbage

Bang: Torn Apart

Rachel: Jason D.

μ-12: Advent

Jin: Ms. Jin Kisaragi

Litchi: Severin

Taokaka: *no lovin' for Tao*

There were 21 entrants, Thanks to everyone who entered!

Mike Z. definitely earned his win against Severin. Tager x Λ-11 matchups are so one sided, but Mike gets some bonus for being Z teir.

Thanks to everyone sporting the new underboob characters, Makoto Camaro for playing Makoto, and Advent for playing μ-12. That's why we got it set up on the console, let's get some more console exclusive characters going!

Great matches personally against Ike Takeda. I still haven't gotten my Hazama matches settled, we need to play more often so I can learn how to play against him.

Blue Garbage had to leave early, if he didn't I'm sure he would have gotten much higher on the list. Oh well, maybe next time.

Guilty Gear XX Λ Core:

1st: AKA [Eddie]

2nd: Mike Z. [Potemkin]

3rd: Jason D. [Axl]

4th: Sledge [Chipp]

5th: Super FX [Johnny]

5th: Baddexample [sol]

7th: Id_ASZ [baiken, Jam]

7th: Xie [Potemkin]

9th: Vën̈ öm Cämärö [Venom]

9th: Mumm-RA [Testament]

9th: Raptor [bridget]

9th: Soniti [Testament]

13th: BlumpFin Fing [Axl]

13th: The Real BobMan [Chipp]

13th: Zong_One [Potemkin]

13th: Kaizen [sol]

Best Of...:

Eddie: AKA

Potemkin: Mike Z.

Axl: Jason D.

Chipp: Sledge

Johnny: SuperFX

Sol: Baddexample

Baiken: Id_ASZ

Jam: Id_ASZ

Venom: Vën̈ öm Cämärö

Bridget: Raptor

Testament: TIED Mumm-RA & Soniti

There were no Ky, Anji, Millia, Faust, Slayer, Zappa, I-No, Robo-Ky, A.B.A, or Order-Sol players.

There were 16 entrants for GG, far more people than I was expecting.

Thanks for everyone who came in. I've been practicing a lot of GG recently while waiting for CS to come out, and it seems to have paid off!

AKA showed us why Eddie is the best character in the game. He wiped the floor with me, but I'm still proud I got a round in! I heard his main was Millia, but it seemed like it wasn't prudent to bring her out against Mike, based on Mike's character's strengths and weaknesses.

Mike Z. got his entry fee for BlazBlue still, but the pot was pretty big for GG, and couldn't snag that extra cash.

Sledge, it was great to see your Chipp enter the tournament, I wasn't expecting you at all, and I love it when you get a chance to play at the arcade.

Raptor, you and I have had so many matches practicing together, it almost felt like we were playing casuals. Your Bridget has come a long way, keep it up.

Thanks a whole lot to Strider_Zero for recording matches!. He had a stream going for Guilty Gear, and recorded the last half of BlazBlue. His videos should be up soon on his youtube channel: www.youtube.com/user/striderzer0 Check him out and subscribe, he does great work for the community. He has a justin.tv channel too @ www.justin.tv/striderzer0

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom:

1st: RoyalFlush

2nd: Rotanibar

I need to ask RoyalFlush for the results for the rest. Stay tuned!

Thanks to Royal Flush and the rest of the SoCal TvC crew. There were 14 entrants for TvC, which is pretty good considering the game isn't arcade friendly (Capcom never updated TvC for arcade). A special thanks to anyone who entered TvC AND BlazBlue (No Drinks, Tronzilla, Gamerboy, and Holeymeister). You guys give us hope on learning non-Arcsys airdashers!

Melty Blood: Actress Again:

1st: Xie [F-Hisui & Kohaku]

2nd: Id_ASZ [C-Ciel]

3rd: Josh [F-Miyako]

4th: ChrisCo [C-Akiha]

Josh and ChrisCo entered exclusively for Melty Blood. I've been playing a lot with them at the arcade, and they were pretty excited to enter.

Congrats to Xie for winning Melty Blood. He didn't even have to pick his main (C-Mech-Hisui) in order to win.

There was only 4 entrants, so we ran a round robin. I'll promote the tournament more on MeltyBread.com and see if we can get some more people for MB.

Mike Z. brought the fighting game he's working on, Skull Girls for Alpha testing and to get some crowd reactions. It looks really nice. 1080p sprites with shading effects from backgrounds and specials on them, 6 attack buttons (LMH Punches and Kicks) with an SFAlpha/Darkstalker-esque combo setup, sweet character design, and a designed not to break combo system, round out this game nicely. We might have it again next airdashers tournament in case you missed it this time!

The next tournament will be on Sunday August 22nd. Bring your game on!

Also, don't forget to meet up every Thursday for casuals! I bring in my PS3 for BB console characters, and we all go at it on BB, GG, and MB!

My info on AKA's main was outdated -- apparently he switched to Eddie a long time ago.

Thanks to Mike for everything, and Bang (do I get to call you Makoto now???) for the ride.

Good stuff to all of the FFA players who have improved since I last played them in BBCT!

edit: Xie also played Mu once.

good to meet people at Mike Z's Sat. night and then see so many entrants for GG on Sunday. It makes me want to practice again. Hopefully these tourneys will continue to get good numbers

Bang, that avatar...wow :v:

Mad props and good games to everyone I played while I was out there!

Skullgirls looks pretty slick, I can't wait to sit down with the game and figure it all out once it's released! I have a lot of faith in it.

Nice meeting Zong, Xie, Soniti, Gill, Bang, MTP(?), Id, Jason D, and good games in BBCS and GGXX.

Special shoutouts to multiple repeat appearances by Mike Z and RENDERRRRR! GG's, thanks for playing me in BBCS and GGXX. I'll be more of a challenge in BBCS next time, I promise! (Derp Derp Army!)

I will spread the word about Skullgirls in the MW and try to get people to give it a shot. I'm sure they'll love it as much as I did when they sit down with it.

PS: Tager is cheap! =.<

PPS: So is FFA!

Until next time!

That was a pretty amazing turnout, congrats to everyone who is awesome! Special props to MAKOTO CAMARO and the TvC guy playing Mu. @$*^& I'll probably have to pay to unlock her just to learn how she works...

Minor boo to FFA for buying a giant TV with noticeable lag, but I hear/hope we won't have the tournament on it again. :^)

And super un-boo to FFA for putting Skullgirls in its very first arcade cabinet!

Story mode is awesome and everyone should try it. Especially if your nickname is Zong1. And if you don't, you're never going to know the joy of valley girl Nu.

Also, Ike, if you're offering to unlock stuff, want to go through Score Attack with every character (except Rachel) for me? Thanks buddy!

Dude, I even make sure to sign myself up so that it's ZONG_one, and everytime, no matter if it's AI or FFA, it's on brackets/video as Zong1 or Zong_1. lol.

WTF does doing that get you, btw? (Score Attack.)

That was great and I had fun, but if there's any way to use a console version setup next time, can we try that? I couldn't even dash properly out of a CH 5H for punishment, and out of the gate in one match I yomied the Testament player's counter and tried to Respect Cancel into a 2D for lulz, but it didn't come out and I just stood there waiting to get pressured. That timing difference really kills me.

Otherwise, you'll have to sell me an arcade cabinet so I can practice on it and get used to it.

Yeah, you were Zongone during the SBO Qualifiers. And beating Score Attack with a character unlocks the unlimited version of that character. I haven't tried with anyone else yet, but I know that's going to be a pain. I could probably scrub it out with Tager, Ragna, and Bang, and maybe watch the AI epically fail if I go zoning with Lambda, Arakune, and Hazama, but beyond that... some of this will not be easy. Time to learn those taunt loops!

Paul for being a cool guy and A-K-A for being a nice guy and having an amazing Millia, I have a lot of respect for that character

Mike Z for almost fucking up the win against severin a few times

severin for knowing everything about bb apparently

What does that even mean :psyduck:

It means sometime you get trolled, as well.

This may or may not be one of those times.

Yeah, there were some minor problems with the TV. It has 20ms of video lag (approximately 1.2 frames). I'll check the LCD in the center of the arcade and see how much better that one is.

It was great seeing everyone again, I'm sure we'll get even more people next time.

I'm going to try my hardest to get over there. Get hyped.

Damn, sucks that I missed the GG and MB tourneys... That's what I get for sleeping in. :gonk: But as for the BBCS tourney, congrats to all you guys! Seems like a great turnout, and everyone did a lot better than I expected. Well, for those of you who happened to miss out on the action:
