[Laike]

good shit ekin, good shit

[Golden_Gunman]

Great stuff eks. Good stuff from the Aussies, looks like their claim to be the second best nation after Japan has substance now.

Congrats to Akira, and nice to see a non top tier character take home the glory.

[Leviathan IIDX]

Ken I: you better be saving your beast-mode for sbo day.

[psychochronic]

Can't wait to see some videos.

[Hol Horse]

congrats to Australia! They won even if the beastly Hong lost before top 8 (he lost to dpkoopa I suppose? or to the other still nameless 5th placer Korean?)!

EDIT: all those same-country pairings on quarter finals is sad, looks something went horribly wrong with seeeding.

[eks]

yep, he lost to dpkoopa =[

[D.A.H.]

who did dpkoopa use?

[ToXY]

Good stuff aussies =]

[Hol Horse]

Too bad that some big names were missing, like Amir and Justin from USA, Ack from Canada/HK and Mymoza from France

[eks]

Definitely - I know all the aussie contingent wanted to play against Amir, especially after seeing the Evo West videos. Anyway.. let's just hope that this has been good training for all the foreign players... I'll be happy to see ANY international players do well come SBO day!!!

[Hol Horse]

I hope this tournament has a sequel next year, perhaps with an higher max participants cap. And maybe I will be there too (but I need to improve badly before lol)

Another consideration from those results, I wonder why Korea didn't get a spot too - they seem to deserve one. Next year maybe.

Single Elim was beastly. It was cool seeing everyone and all the matches were pretty impressive.

I'm far to exhausted to give highlights and shout outs right now. I went to the wrong station today for the tournament, so I have been riding trains for a total of 6 hours today. hooray.

I'll just say this tournament was awesome, And I have lots of pics if people want me to post them.

Thats all im gonna post for now. I guess img code doesn't work here hmm.

[UltraDavid]

Sweet, thanks Paul. Did you take any video?

By the way, in the "random people" pic, you can see Waqs (UK), Prince/Hatim (UK), and HarmoNaz (UK).

Good job to Pyro, congrats to the guys who beat him.

[DevilJin 01]

Cheasapeake FTMFW!

Kokujin!!

[laugh]

Thanks for the results and pictures.

The Korean guy that got 2nd (the kinda big guy standing in the first picture in MOD's post) is "DB Koopa" not DP. BTW, the people in the first photo are Korean. You can see Nin (the korean Tekken player) on the right side of the photo as well.

I can't wait for the vids!

Lots of dudes took video. I mean like a TON. so you'll get your wish. My camera doesn't record sound so its not so cool and a little pointless.

Also don't you mean good job to the "guy" that beat him. It was Single Elim. I could see Pyro winning it though, Single Elim is just too too random. The matches in the top 8 were really high pressure. Fubar played Pyro in the first match of the top 8, and man the pressure was ON. Random crazy shit happening on both sides if I recall.

Edit: I'll post the other pics later.

Ok because I can't sleep right now, even though my body is exhausted.

This is the street Game Newton was on. It looked quite cool so I snapped a picture.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...gamestreet.jpg

This what most of the brackets for the pools looked like. And it was Single Elimination! The level of play was at a real high no doubt.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...astbracket.jpg

Some guy just won a tense match. Makoto vs Ibuki. More fast paced then flies on shit.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t...es/crowded.jpg

Match came in to do some casuals. He was bustin that kara demon on peoples. I popped a picture of his wins when he abandoned the cab for whatever reason. Computer Sean was about to break it!

Also there were invitations to the SBO afterparty given out. I didn't even know SBO had an after party. maybe thats a new thing. Its gonna be mad hype though.
