DC Report post Posted November 30, 2012 HYPE THREAD ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING... The story begins when street racers called Team South Florida (DC, The Arm, Mystic, Juggernaut and Mystical Moose) decide head to NEC to challenge the east coast's local team, to a "major" race. After watching how skilled the east coast are on Youtube (via Jourdal), Team South Florida becomes determined not to be humiliated out of state. However, Team South Florida is left in a bind when two of their drivers (Juggernaut & Mystical Moose) have an accident during a practice run, and cannot attend NEC. They were desperate for replacements until DC learns from his employer, the owner of a Play N Trade, that former rivals from Georgia will be attending NEC as well, and that the fastest cars in Georgia's downhill is an Chie driver by the name of "ZomB," and his Elizabeth driving partner named "Eshi." DC appeals to his Georgian rivals to take the place of his fallen allies in the NEC major race against the east coast. Let's meet our racers: DC Age: 24 Hails from: Fort Lauderdale, Florida Car: Mitsuru Lancer Evolution III GSR Year: 1995 Plate: "EAD EAD" Color: Matte Black DC drives a Mitsuru Lancer Evolution III GSR. At first, DC thinks that Team South Florida are the best drivers on the east coast but later his boss, Tong Lee, tells him of the mysterious drivers in Georgia who are the fastest drivers in Georgia attending NEC, and that he suspects that the drivers are the owners of the local tofu shop, ZomB & Eshi. He is an average racer at best, but his skills are decent enough for him to be leader of the Team South Florida. The Arm Age: 22 Hails from: Weston, Florida Car: Nissan Elizabeth 240x Year: 1992 Plate: "GARUDYN" Color: Lime Green A relatively new member of Team South Florida and DC's good friend, The Arm drives a Nissan Elizabeth 240x. He hangs out at lan center where DC, Mystic and Juggernaut and Mystical Moose practice Persona, usually discussing Liz's bad matchups and why his Garudyne combos keep dropping. He has respect and admiration for DC and Mystic; DC since he is the leader of Team South Florida and Mystic for his Persona driving skills. Mystic Age: 25 Hails from: Miami, Florida Car: Nissan Aigis GT-R V-Spec II Year: 1994 Plate: "BASED" Color: Metallic Blue Mystic is an intelligent and skilled Persona driver, notably recognizing DC's mixup technique while observing DC's first battle at the LAN center. Oft considered the best driver in Team South Florida, he reluctantly lets DC lead the group despite having a slightly better record at him at race tournaments. However, his downfall is his tendancy to overthink bad racers, resulting in poor throttle control and losses to scrubs. He also races all-out and usually fails to consider stick wear, so in the end, he loses the race and sometimes destroys his fightstick. Eshi Age: 24 Hails from: Norcross, Georiga Car: Mazda Elizabeth RX-7 Type R Year: 1991 Plate: "TILTD KILT" Color: Neon Pink Eshi is the number two driver in Atlanta, he drives Mazda's third generation Liz RX-7, and is a skilled driver, second only to ZomB. He is a rather hot-headed young man and does not like losing. Eshi is also known to drive with his emotions, for example if he realises that he cannot win his driving suffers and if he is in the lead he is carefree and much relaxed. Before ZomB got Eshi involved in street Persona racing he was the leader of a street gang called the Titled Kilts. ZomB Age: 22 Main: Chie Hails from: Woodstock, Georgia Car: Mazda Chie RX-7 Infini III Year: 1990 Plate: "U SHD BRST" Color: Crystal White ZomB is one of the most skilled drivers in Georgia; he and his friend Eshi have been featured in Persona magazines and are regarded highly by other Georgian drivers. ZomB drives a second-generation Mazda Chie RX-7 (FC3S) and was previously undefeated until he came to Florida. Since then Atlanta and Team South Florida have been Persona rivals. He can usually be found in his room going over data on his laptop. He is known to be able to tell what kind of modifications have been made to an arcade stick just by hearing it, and what a player is capable of just by watching when they burst. SFL/GA 5v5 regional team is coming. Could not find acceptable profile pics for Zomb and Eshi. If you like this please check out my other hype thread announcements!

BatousaiJ Report post Posted December 3, 2012 Alright, I'm gonna get my after-NEC shoutouts out of the way while people's names are fresh in my mind. Shoutouts to TSB for making our side of things happen stickbug, buscuits and etc. Your hard work and dedication are always appreciated. Shoutouts to Montreal for coming out in strong force competing strong and being good dudes. Shoutouts to Xie for interrupting my master plan of luring Brice into a false sense of security before bodying him with stupid Tager shit(I'll get you next time!) and robbing Level5chan of his Canadian money. Shoutouts to Cirno for jumping in and pressing buttons and being a good bro. Shoutouts to Dora for being da besssssssss most awesome troll I've had the pleasure of watching in person. Shoutouts to Souji for being the scariest Arakune I've ever played(Souji san sugoi!). Shoutouts to Random cleaning lady for bodying me harder than Souji did by waking me up with 9 AM for no reason when I went to sleep at 7 AM. Shoutouts to Axis for being hilarious. Shoutouts to Jourdal for being really black and being really angry at people getting hyped and chanting his name. Shoutouts to Shin for keeping it super real. Shoutouts to SenXii for playing P4G in his hotel room and hosting some weird ass games. Shoutouts to TGS for being a spectator buddy. Shoutouts to everyone else that came to my room Sat night for some fun casuals/hanging out. Shoutouts to Orona for helping cleaning/moving and being a good bro in general. Shoutouts to Everyone I played in pools/casuals and special mention to Guyman for losing to me even though his Yosuke was cleanly better than mine in almost every way. Shoutouts to Dacidbro for being a man taking on the cinnamon challenge successfully. Shoutouts to LK/SKD for holding it down for the East Coast and being good at video games. Shoutouts to random people that came to talk to about stuff I've made in the past for P4A/BB, their input was much appreciated. Shoutouts to myself for trying to function with 4 hours of sleep in two nights. Shoutouts to shoutouts. I was told NEC was the EVO of anime games and it certainly lived up to the hype. I definitely see myself making every ECT/NEC from now on. Good shit! Now I'm passing the hell out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M.D. Orona Report post Posted December 3, 2012 Now that I finally have some sleep in my system, I'll drop some shoutouts. (I know I've already forgotten some names, so I apologize in advance if you're not here.) Shoutouts to St1ckbug/Xie/Big E for actually putting the whole thing together. Friday night at the Copa was legit, and as said before, NEC is general was hype as hell. Going next year is a definite as long as life doesn't body me. Shoutouts to Dora/Souji/Kirisame for making NEC more hype than it would've been by just blowing up every American hope in P4A or BB. Hopefully another sponsorship event can happen next year. Shoutouts again to Dora for that S-tier Bang cosplay. Shoutouts to ANIME KOMBAT! Shoutouts to Sen for bringing EC, MW, and WC together in the same room. Shoutouts to everyone who was roomed in 720 for keeping it hype all weekend. Shoutouts to Dokapon Kingdom. Shoutouts to Hollywood showers. Shoutouts to Subway Philly Cheesesteaks. Shoutouts to ShinSyn for being as gdlk as I thought he'd be (and for DP'ing out of the near-Shin moment on Friday). Shoutouts to Batousai for being a bro and letting randoms come into his room for casuals on Saturday night. Shoutouts to SKD for forgetting his stuff in Bat's room. Shoutouts to rigged-ass money matches in that room. Brief shoutouts to Leonil for "BAD! BAD! BAD! BAD!" Shoutouts to Leonil, Brandino, and Axis for keeping things funny, but real. Further shoutouts to the MI, FL, Canadian, and WC scenes for coming all the way out, sponsored or not, to support their games. Next time I'm deciding when to leave. I am NOT getting bodied by Megabus again next year. Lastly if I had any criticism to give as a participant, I would say the lack of food access for those of us without a car, was a bit rough.

Star-Demon Report post Posted December 3, 2012 It's time for STREAMSHOTS! Dora's Chipp was, IMO, the only hype part of the GG tourney. DacidBro getting eliminated from a tourney he didn't enter. Poor Huey - This is a tale of HEARTBREAK. Dacidbro gets eliminated AGAIN from a tourney he didn't enter. Profound Sadness. I didn't even get an Ryuuisou. LordKnight refused to go out like a hero. And, of course, some jerk in a pink shirt pours salt on him for not having enough Twitter PSR: In all - BB was very enjoyable to watch, and watching GG made me appreciate how good GM was to both watch and be at.
