NEC XI Results & Shoutouts

[Killerwatt]

Ditto MacArthur, minus the whole community service/ex-girl druggie thing...

Hopefully next year I'll be confident enough in my game to attend this. GS guys, the GG stream was extremely entertaining, SteveH v Marlinpie was too, too gdlk.

Incidentally, who/what is sogos and what is he/she/it banned from? And what is the movement to unban him about?

[Remiri]

Even if you don't have confidence in your abilities, you should still make an effort to head down just to experience not only the hype but the ability to be a part of a community that needs to grow.

My Jin is no tetsu, but I learned a metric shit ton just by showing up and participating.

[DaiAndOh]

Well we can find out, the next time Zidane and Lordknight go somewhere. Last time I checked, they have no Bang player, so I have a bit of an inherent advantage in blowing them up.

badly

mfw when Dacid gets blown up for underestimating EC Bang knowledge.

Sogos was banned from dl being too real ^_^.

Anyway I can't even start on what to talk about. So just keep it sexy everyone.

[Dacidbro]

Pfff you're not East Coast to me, Daiandoh. You're Bang Thread. MB I forgot you lived over there.

Get in the community. These things are a blast! So much fun and so many people to meet. Should have went even if you did want to do tourney play. Casuals are the best part of any tourney. That and MM

[Reioumu]

Zidane knows the Bang matchup as well as Zong's insides. And he knows that pretty well

[TITANIUM BEAST!!!]

Not as well as I know Zidane's insides. I got up close and personal all weekend.

Shoutouts later, still tired. See me trollin', see me feelin' myself.

[DaiAndOh]

Pfff you're not East Coast to me, Daiandoh. You're Bang Thread. MB I forgot you lived over there.

lol now we are own coast?

Zidane knows the Bang matchup as well as Zong's insides. And he knows that pretty well

Don't forget about this guy Dacid either. EC has Bang's, we just don't like the game.

And everyone else get some fucking Gundam for your PSP.

Shoutouts to:

- Team Canada for coming all the way down and being gdlk/friendly/canadian.

- St1ckbug for running things and being hype.

- Guilty Gear having more entrants and hype than blazblue. It should have always been this way.

- The random SSF4 player that wandered into a GG room and called it a doujin game while refusing to believe that street fighter is japanese/anime/has more panties than gg and mbaa combined.

- zong for having a great carl/arakune. Sorry that my Tao was free, next time I will hopefully block overheads and not drop everything. Your ear gauges gave me a view of GG grand finals through the sea of people.

- myself for ragequitting BB to go get food.

- Dr. Onblast for being my sister.

Shoutouts to meeting the other dloop mods ^_^

NEC was awesome despite BB teams being cancelled. Ironically we had more fun in GG then in BB although we haven't really touched gear in some time. Somehow NEC has brought back a spark in gear for me and the other Canadians so next time we won't be as free.

Hopefully we'll make the trip down to Evo this year as a group too so lets hope for good turnout in BB/GG then.

[Dr.Onblast]

DannySchme: sorry if i spelled your last name wrong

It's pronounced SchemeyScheme.

[GZ-Matthias]

Hey guys, amazing tournament. Thanks for making the trip out there worth it by other scenes also making their own ridiculous trips. Canada, Midwest, West Coast, Texas, on the East Coast. Even online showed up! :8/: After deciding a few months back that I wanted to get serious about traveling, it's nice to see other people doing the same. Whether you like BB or not, the game lives or dies based on how players who like it keep making it out to majors.

Dangle and 6th floor room crew: You guys are pretty damn cool. It was hard for me to find any matches in BB at all since I wasn't there on time for Friday apparently.

Canada crew: It was awesome meeting you guys since you're all pretty hilarious. I respect that "we just want to play, it doesn't have to be about money" option you guys took to us letting you pick how much money you wanted to money match for. You guys were just in it to play the game, when you pretty much would have won the match anyway. Keep up the good work, and I'll see you guys again sometime.

DJHousen: We hold the world record for longest BB match possible. Congrats us. Go to more tournaments! I wanna hold up another station for 15 minutes just to have things literally go down to the last MILLESECOND of game time. Heartbreaking, but awesome match.

Zidane, and LK: Saw you guys playing other shit on Saturday so it's a shame we didn't play at all. Next time!

Team St1ckbug, Alan and crew: You're doing a lot for GG and BB. And you barely even like BB. Thank you. Don't sweat the computer thing. It happened early in the bracket so resetting wasn't a huge issue. I was mad about there being no teams but that's BB's community's fault for being spread too thin or just not caring.

[mikenapalm]

Shoutouts to getting blown the fuck up in guilty gear.

Shoutouts to st1ckbug and doomie for running shit. Good shits guys.

Shoutouts to Zidane and Zong. You guys are cool as hell to chill with. We need to go to breakfast again. Haha

Shoutouts to Mynus for trolling me so hard over netplay that I felt confident going to play him. Then blowing me the fuck up in tourney.

Shoutouts to Danny Schme your Noel has gotten so much better since the last time we played. Sad that I didn't play you at all this weekend.

Shoutouts to the rest of the North East crew. Thanks for coming out. Good shit.

Shoutouts to Dangle for getting off netplay and coming out =P nah good shit dude. Fun as hell playing against you and just doing stupid shit until the sun comes up.

Shoutouts to not sleeping all weekend and just playing dumb as hell.

Probably more but I'm still taking everything in at the moment.

- Dr. Onblast for being my sister.

I lol'd hard at this.

WHO?!

That was Tales (Anji, he's only 16), Zoob (Potemkin), and Stryfe (I-no).

[Hi Potemkin~!]

the only downside for me was i couldnt hang with no one cause i had to run 3rd strike D:

[Zidane]

Stay free, FreeJosh.

[eric]

I like to say thanks to everyone that made it out to necXI.

Alan and DoomieJ THANKS for everything, i need to talk to you guys.

I will post more shot outs later, its 5:54am and im up watching Dune and tired as hell.

[Zeero]

shoutouts to the tourney organizers, everything went as smooth as possible (accidents happen, can't avoid that) and I really had a great time at my first American major ^_^

shoutouts to everybody I met and played, it was really fun playing different people instead of the same 10-15 faces in Toronto I've been playing against for years.

shoutouts to Zong and Kyle for bodying me in Carl mirrors, I have no idea whats going on in this matchup

shoutouts to LK and Zidane for being awesome players, although I'm sad that I didn't actually get to play LK at any point =(

shoutouts to everybody in room 634 who revived Gear for me on Sunday night. I haven't had so much fun playing gear for a really long time, thanks to you all ^_^

Definitely will try to make it to more events from now on, it was a really worthwhile experience and even if I didn't get to play much casuals, just meeting everybody and having a good time made this trip worth it. It was awesome! ^_^

[A3Religion]

Shoutouts, First and foremost to one of the hardest working tournament organizers in America, Big E, top notch idea to put anime games in their own room.

Shoutouts to my motherfucking boy Alan for running the tournaments so smoothly even though you had to reset shit. A weaker man would have fallen into despair but you held strong and did what the fuck you had to do.

Zong: I make you honorary EC, your too godlike for your own coast. LOL We love you man, and so much respect for coming over and representing like you did. I'll buy you the bar next time when I'm not dead broke alright.

SaltyDefense: LMAO, I really enjoyed getting a chance to play your Venom, Sol and Chipp. You should move over here because that's the only characters we don't play since our resident Sol player went to the Army. It takes a big man to do what you did, and nothing but respect for you over here.

K2: Your May is quite annoying (in a good way). Glad I got a chance to run it back after you put me in losers.

Zeero: for having one of the most annoying Robo-kys I have ever played in my life. You rushdown hard with that MF. After a while I really had to adjust hard to that. Nice for keeping those anti-dodging strats going.

Kousaka: for not playing me and making me sad in the face.

Ril: Getting ril serious mixups on that wakeup going. You really get more and more stronger everytime I play you.

Vyers: Stay strong bro, It'll all click eventually. Read that FUCKING Footsie handbook, it will help.

Strife: I got loves and hugs for you all over the place. Always giving mad love to me I really appreciate it. I really didn't get to see you play all tourney next time we really have to play.

Frank the Tank: Faggot. Mad you took me out but it was my fault. Your may is the bane of my existence, though I am glad I did a lot better since last year.

Titanium Beast: You were too gdlk in tourney. You really banged it out and deserved to be in top 6. Next time though I would like to get more matches.

Steve H: I'm glad I did better since the last time I played you. You are a fucking wall though of defense. Also I gotta understand what you guys do in those Maryland Huddles those shits seem so gdlk.

Matt Coma: Your Millia is too serious, you really bodied everyone. Stop blocking and hurting peoples feelings on knockdown.

Doomie: Your like my big black fluffy bodyguard. We gotta have that drunken MM next time man.

Moroha: President of Maryland. I know you had to go back home to tend to your presidential duties but really enjoyed you there.

Northcoast: You Mfs are hype as fuck. Mindgam3 you almost had me. Light Nazgul, always getting stronger I see. Dr. Onblast, glad you played and represented.

Zoob: Your too smart for BB. Its alright to make a change.

Honorable mentions:

10stars: I miss you. Come back to me.

Mulligan: I wanted another stab at your Jam. I guess until next time.

[ZONG_one]
