NORCAL INSTALL! [Main Information and Ranbat Update Thread]

[Spartan257B]

GGs to everyone I played today. Had a lot of fun and it was a great experience.

Also congrats to Huey for taking BB

[totoroslayer]

Again, thanks to everyone who came and made this possible. Through all the hiccups and hype, we broke all kinds of NCI records (which I'm sure Chun will be glad to tell you guys all about), and you have shown yourself again to be the nicest, chillest fighting game community around. I've had tournaments half this size for other games that verged on chaos. I can't wait to see you all again.

Shoutouts to that strange poop smell that kept wafting past the front of Gamecenter.

Hahah, yes... what you were smelling was this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stinky_tofu The restaurant near us is (unfortunately?) renowned for this dish.
