Shizuoka CvS2 tourney

Went down to Shizuoka with Bas, Mulder, Touru ("Sougeishin"), and Mii (some girl that uses K-Groove). We stopped along the way for some BOMB ASS melon bread. I also got kinda carsick, but I survived the trip. We got there about 2 hrs before the tourney, and no one was there. We practiced, and I couldn't do shit on the 2P controller. It seemed really loose (I would get headstomps instead of scissor kicks a LOT), and fierce seemed to randomly be slow (c.fierce in the Blanka custom missed a lot, as did s.fierce in the corner with Bison), but the 1P side seemed fine. Apparently, the 2P side was fine for Mulder and Bas also.

Anyway, enough people showed up eventually, so the tourney was held, albeit a little behind schedule. We drew our numbers and Mulder gets Bas 1st round. Poor him. Bas said he would use N-Groove, but as always, right before the match he changes his mind. Mulder loses. My first match was against some guy who was using Bas's N-Groove team (Akuma, Blanka, Sagat), but he put Blanka first. My Gief did okay, but lost the first round. My Blanka proceeded to romp, and I easily won. My second match was against another N-Groover, this time Honda, Sakura, Sagat. Mulder (who I look up to for his Zangief skills) immediately called it a win for me, as Gief does well against all three characters. I did pretty good, and got to the next round....

where I lose to Bas.

ANYWAY. That was the semifinals, so I got to play another match afterwards, for 3rd place: Funapi-, who uses K-Cammy, Sagat, Morrigan. I won that and got 3rd.

Final Results:

1. Bas
2. Marai (that side of the bracket was pretty easy, but he was definitely the best. K-Rock, Blanka, Sagat. He beat Shizuoka Saikyo in the first round).
3. Me

BLEH
