A-Trak

No

Just had a look at the 25 attendees in the poll there.
Even with the Norn Iron lads not coming, there's no easy matches there, and definitely some I'd like to avoid, (Hi there top 4 seeds, please stay away from me thanks )

Bit off Topic, but what do you lads use to carry your TE's?

The thing is bloody massive and won't fit in any of my laptop cases, it may well have to travel in a tesco reusable bag, but daammit I have more class than that!

(Do they fit into a standard 17' laptop case?)

I have a 17" laptop backpack and I don't think a TE would fit in it.

Just strap it to your back like a sword.

It fits into my super deluxe world travelling 2 17 inch laptop containing samsonite bag of doom but that's a big expense. I got it as a freebie. Weirdly it's colours match the te's too.

Good to see all the new faces and a good standard of play from the newcomers to ranbats, competition it seems has stiffened once again.Also seems the tournament went quicker than the last one even though we did the best of 3 set match group stage. Overall good fun and pretty much smooth sailing.

Congrats to Cobelcog, I think he only dropped one set to Bush during the whole tournament. And again fair play to Bush, probably the most consistent player at the ranbats since the start. Had two very close matches with him. In the end sadly for me it wasn't quite Tuesday but I'll get there in the end.
Another consistent display from the Doom and also well done to Dreddybjas, finally showing us what he is capable of.

Also if anyone is missing what I think is a black camera bag, its behind the counter in the XGC

I'm annoyedI missed this but something came up the day before that I couldn't miss. I'll be on for casuals though in the next few weeks.

Cheers Azza, and congrats again to those who finished ahead of me. :pac:

ggs to everyone yesterday.
Something occured to me after the tournament, I don't think I've ever won a losers bracket match in all the tournaments I've entered...

Doctor DooM

No

Well, that was an interesting day

It was great to see so many new faces, pwease come back again as it adds so much to the atmosphere.

It was a good day for me. I had my traditional first fight where I get owned (I really have to sort out why I do that. I thought it was maybe just a coincidence, but even Bush said a while ago he'd never had it that easy against me), then I barely scraped by Ayjay in a match which could have very, very easily swung the other way. That'll make a good upload. He nearly stopped me there.

Then I got Chunkis who I didn't take a round off but was a good, tense, close fight anyway- so immediately dropped to losers. So far so DooM tbh.

This is when it got weird. I got Chopper, A-trak, and Dark onion all in a row. Honda, honda, honda.

WHO ARE YOU, <insert honda players name here>? I WAPE ALL BEST HONDA PLAYERS IN DUBLIN!

So after this weird and to be honest extremely luck set of affairs ( Honda has a fricking nightmare getting near Guile) Bush eventually put me out, but I put a better fight up against his Rufus than I ever have in tournament conditions so I was happy enough with how it played out.

Then adding 10 points to the weirdometer was Dark Talant v Dreddy.

Talant has come waaaaay on and his boxer's lethal. He took the first set handy after which Dreddy said something like "screw this, lets shake things up" and random selected.

He got 'Gief and then somehow pasted Talant to the wall. So glad I got that on camera.

The Chun counterpick in Bush v Azza was an interesting move, she's got that lethal to Bison projectile/ airthrow thing going on. Dangerous.

I have to say as much as I like Cobelcog as a person and his playing style I was really up for Bush in the final- I could see him adapting his playstyle and slowing down the Cammy assault delibrately and he got unlucky with Ultras whiffing a couple of times. That stuff wins me over

So a fun tournament with interesting highlights. Alot of the vids won't look great as there were just so many people and I was trying not to be too intrusive to the players (except Ayjay, bloody move!).

Lessons learned about the camera today- buying a bigger memory card so I can record in higher quality- good idea. Next time get a spare battery and it should all go easier.

Pints after were fun too, and the spare ribs in the Bull and Castle were NYOM NYOM NYOM. Kiki you missed my joystick designer friend.

Good look today in your 3 v 3 Chunkis and have a nice time Azza!

have to say watching Cobelcog was like watching a machine. It was like one of those tool assisted videos.

Bush did get unlucky with those Ultras though. Even the one that got Cammy in the corner didn't finish.

Biggest gut wrench for me was when Azzas Ultra against Bush in the losers final didn't come out (think it was recorded) it was pretty much the match decider.

BanjoB

No

Congrats to everyone who placed Yesterday.
Really enjoyed the games and putting a face on all those xbl gamertags. Unfortunately for me I played much better in casuals than in the tournament. Although my second round fights with cobblecog were too close for comfort!!!. Great games with animax too in the losers!. Hope to try and make a few more casuals and pick some of yer brains on matchup strategy!!. I'm practicing countering that ex messiah kick already!!!.

Speaking of losers brackets, can someone actually explain to me how this tournament set up works? Doom gave me a quick run down of how it runs, but then I think it was Azza told me Cobelcog had built up some extra lives for the final or something because he hadn't lost a game? That basically confused me beyond repair.

Also, great craic being down there~ Despite being annihlated in the first round, it was definitely the most fun I've had playing SF in monthes. This isn't the last you've seen of me!

It's the exact way I explained only in the grand final the winner of winners brackets only needs to win 1 set of best of three, whereas the winner of losers has to win 2. That's the extra "life" the winner of winners has.
