ROBO J HAS WON WITH A CLEAN SWEEP!

ROBO J ROBO J ROBO J

THE CHAMP IS HERE!

I'd like to thank everyone who took part in this tournament! I had a blast, and I hope you all did too!

It was sad that we had three players drop out, although in Originalz' case, he was leaving to go on a long vacation, and since he notified me in advance, no problems were had. It sucks that Banuda Ultra and Jehuty had to be DQ'd, however. I never did get any messages from them afterward, and haven't seen any message board posts from them (on their site) since early July. If we do another tournament, I hope the next one will be able to be finished much quicker.

The final break down:

1. RoboJ
2. Lyte Edge
3. Bacchus 7
4. Toonami99
5. Enl
5. Beezy
5. Archie 4208
5. Ch1nchila
6. Leguna
6. Originalz (Dropped Out)
6. Jehuty (Disqualified)
6. Banuda Ultra (Disqualified)
7. Tiesto
7. Rman
7. PointZero8
7. T234

Good games, everyone!

----------------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the first official BORITO STREET FIGHTER IV TOURNAMENT! Due to lack of member interest, this tourney will be 360-only.

Time won't be an issue! This is an online tourney, so you get matched up with someone, decide on a time to play your game, and post the results. No rush, but hopefully people can play their matches within a few days of getting matched up each time.

Everyone gets two chances in this tourney; losers go to the losers' bracket and can fight their way to the end versus the the last one standing in the winners' bracket.

The rules would be:

1. Best of 3 matches
2. 5 rounds per match
3. Two characters may be used (Main and Alt)
4. If the players are disconnected, restart the match with the same number of rounds won/lost
5. If a player makes no contact with his opponent within a few days of being paired up, he will be disqualified.

Here are the participants:

Name / Gamertag / Main / Alt

1. the lyte edge / lyte edge / Chun-Li / Cammy
2. T234 / Skidmore2 /Guile / Sagat
3. Beezy / Ji3eezy / M.Bison (Dictator) / Chun-Li
4. RoboJ / jim robobo / M.Bison (Dictator) / Sagat
5. Enl / o ENK o / Chun-li / Bison
6. tiesto / AfrikaShoxx / Sagat / Cammy
7. Rman / rattlemonster / Boxer / Guile
8. originalz / dis be z / Blanka / Vega

I'd be in for 360, but 1) I am terrible at the game and 2) I won't be able to compete at all next week (will be away on work-related training).

bork · « **Reply #9 on:** June 10, 2009, 06:28:45 PM »

So far that's six on 360 and three on PS3. I'm sure MoxManiac would be down for PS3, so that's four there. I know a few people that I'm sure would enter the 360 tourney too. Let me know if you guys know any people that might be interested in this.

It pains me not to be able to get in on this. Though something tells me I'd be making an ungracious exit in the first round regardless.

originalz · « **Reply #14 on:** June 10, 2009, 08:30:16 PM »

Eh, I'll join on the 360 provided the time works.

5. If a player makes no contact with his opponent within a few days of being paired up, he will be disqualified.

So if those who are DEFINITELY going to take part, post your Xbox Live Gamertag or PSN ID, and the two characters you will use. The format should be like this:

360 / lyte edge / Chun-Li / Cammy
PSN / lyteedge / Chun-Li / Cammy

Last time I saw him post about games, he was saying how he moved to a new place and didn't want to even bother hooking up his 360. :'(

I have issues with Ken as a character and with people who choose to use him

I don't blame you - I feel like a douche just picking the guy when I'm fooling around with friends, even if he does kinda suck.

You can of course just stick with Ryu, but you need to let me know if you have an alt before this starts.

bork · « **Reply #49 on:** June 15, 2009, 04:03:58 AM »

Yeah, it's always fun being part of these! It's a different feeling playing in tourney matches; makes me want to try some of the real ones offline now, although I'm the type that would probably buckle under the pressure of everybody watching.

I've missed out on the yearly Final Round tourneys here in the ATL and also missed out on the Neo Shodown tourneys that happened in '98 and '99 IIRC. A lot of the guys that go to these used to come into the game store where I worked and we'd play stuff. I recognized some of the faces from the last FR this year from there and from GSU. Very nostalgic!

Most of the online tourney matches I've played have been so intense and often very, very close. I love matches like that!

Here's the first of two matches I just had tonight in the latest NeoGAF tourney:

[youtube=560,345]-NBS3eAlmxs[/youtube]

The last match (Cammy vs. Cammy) was crazy and slower than usual...we were both very cautious as one fuck-up could lead to the other getting destroyed. I won this and moved on to the next round in the winners' bracket, but I think PhatSaqs is going to (easily) take the XBL tourney and FindMyFarms will get the PSN one. FindMyFarms sent MoxManiac to the losers' bracket tonight...I was rooting for you Mox!!

I don't know how much longer I'm going to be playing SF4 "hardcore" though. I've got 200+ hours put into the arcade, 360, and PS3 versions combined, and am feeling like it may be time to move onto Blaz Blue and KOF XII (I hope the latter is good. PLEASE BE GOOD); TBH I was never all that big into 3rd Strike and while I like SF4 a whole lot more, there are things about it that I also am not big on. I kind of don't want to stop playing though; feels like I've come a long way and also still have much, much longer way to go before I get anywhere near Haunts' level, for example, if ever! I guess basically I'm ready for SF4 Champion Edition!

makes sense since Threi got banned too and he said it was longer than haunt's ban.

But are you really not going back due to that comment or is it that latest "incident" that was happening.

There was some shit said about him losing that match to Mike Ross, like "I got haunts'd" and stuff like that. Completely undeserved since haunts did nothing but help people out and post lots of info in that thread. Dickheads.

BTW you gonna be in the tourney Archie? You haven't put down your characters yet!

archie4208 · « **Reply #54 on:** June 15, 2009, 12:48:33 PM »

Yeah sure. Honda main/Blanka secondary. I pulled out of the GAF tournament since I've been in a really bad funk recently and I was just getting frustrated. Might as well try to get back into the swing of things!

Herr Mafflard · « **Reply #55 on:** June 15, 2009, 01:02:11 PM »

So I popped in SFIV today to see if I still had it, and man, I just had like 10 matches against some dude named StoneFace12.

I main exclusively between Ryu and Sagat and so did he. He beat me pretty well in every 5 round match we played.

So finally, he's beating me 9-0 and I think fuck it this ain't worth the hassle and I jokingly pick Sakura. Well to my utter suprise, I actually win that match. Mind blown.

Yeah, sadly I don't think I'll be entering this tournament guys. I mean, I can't even put up a fight with my main against this guy but I win with a complete random? smh

bork · « **Reply #56 on:** June 15, 2009, 03:20:19 PM »

Waiting on responses from T234 and Banuda Ultra. If we do end up with an uneven number of players, someone's gonna get lucky and automatically advance a match or two.

Robo · « **Reply #57 on:** June 15, 2009, 04:49:22 PM »

I nominate lyte edge for the bye so one of us can be spared a vicious butt raping in the first round.

bork · « **Reply #58 on:** June 15, 2009, 06:58:49 PM »

Awrightz we have 14 confirmed players, 15 if T234 responds, and also a possible 16th from another forum. If I don't hear from him by tonight, we're proceeding with 14.

bork · « **Reply #59 on:** June 15, 2009, 07:55:20 PM »

Here are the preliminary brackets.

Confirmed Round 1 Match-Ups:

-Banuda Ultra Vs. Tiesto
-Enl Vs. Beezy
-Toonami 99 Vs. RoboJ
-Bacchus7 Vs. Rman
-Pointzero8 Vs. Originalz
-Archie 4208 Vs. Leguna
-Lyte Edge Vs. Ch1nchila
