doragonkoroshi Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Looks like Chase, Jais, and Raekwon are going to Tougeki.
ElvenShadow Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 huh? did they win showdown or something? wheres the results posted?
Ukyo Tachibana Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 There's no thread about Texas Showdown (as if Dustloop totally condemned EmoGear, Planet Zero, and TS, haha). But yeah, Zinac (FA), Jais (BR), and Raekwon (PO) beat Kensou (CH), fubarduck (ZA), and Jan (PO). Chances are, those 3 will go to SBO. I heard Flash Metroid's team (with Alex G. and Marn) got eliminated in the first round, by Latif's team? Pozerwolf was on Latif's team and apparently beat Marn.
RageBot Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Are there any match vids of that? Well, congrats to you guys, anyway.
Raph_Stryker Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 yeah, marn/flash/alex g lost to latif's team, and they were seeded against eachother because pozer and latif made it too late to enter the singles tourney, which decided team seeding (they were dq'd) raekwon ocv'd fubar jan and kevin, and yes it was recorded. When Raekwon finished kensou, and he stood up all akuma like, the whole hotel just shook. It was intense.
ElvenShadow Posted March 23, 2008 Author Posted March 23, 2008 wow im quite surprised. congrats to the winners. but does this mean this team will go for sure? i remember emotiongear saying that he might not just keep the whole team of the original players and might pick from other teams based on the interview etc. what happened to george and prucha? I thought they were gonna go?
Raph_Stryker Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 the main players of note that were there were Flash Alex G Marn Latif Jan Kensou Raekwon Jais Chase i dont recall any george or prucha, but maybe someone else could fill you in on them. And regarding if they are GUARANTEED to go since they won..well im gonna tell you straight up your guess is as good as mine
Senkei Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 wow wish i could of made it my wonders is how all these bastards travel to completely different locations within a week somebody has to have a swiss bank account
Ukyo Tachibana Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 wow im quite surprised. congrats to the winners. but does this mean this team will go for sure? i remember emotiongear saying that he might not just keep the whole team of the original players and might pick from other teams based on the interview etc. what happened to george and prucha? I thought they were gonna go? Realistically speaking, we were just fresh off of Final Round XI. While I'm sure Prucha could afford going, not sure if George could've. :P And I say this out of humility, but those 2 going might've not made a difference. Chicago (and Midwest in general) needs to regroup and step it up a bit. MW was the best last year but not this year, I suppose. We are losing to matchups that we don't really see being played at a very high level over here (mostly Eddie).
Brent-quest Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 George and Prucha also play pad and I don't think they allow that at SBO. :P
ElvenShadow Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 they both can play on stick too but it doesnt matter since they didnt even go. of course they dont allow pad at an arcade tournament :P blog updated http://elvenshadowmike.blogspot.com/
ElvenShadow Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 so I will be going to Kansai (Osaka/Kyoto) next week for about one week. Can anyone recommend any good places to go see as far as sightseeing? Also, what are all the good arcades and where are they located as far as nearby train stations (obviously I know A-cho is the best for GG but theres several A-chos and im not sure which one is the best one)? Any suggestions are appreciated. Keep in mind that anywhere I go I will take a lot of pictures and write about it in my blog so if theres somewhere you are interested in its in your best interest to suggest I go there so you can see and hear about it.
ElvenShadow Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 I updated the photo section finally so theres a few new pictures from the last few weeks if anyone gives a fuck btw, i pretty much got all the Kansai info answered on SRK so nevermind about that
axel Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 http://www.a-cho.com/acho.html Go for the ranbat on Thursday, 3rd April! http://blog.livedoor.jp/nisikyougoku/ Better yet, email N.O and ask him if he can guide you to a-cho!
ElvenShadow Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 Yea I already was planning on going to the ranbat, I just didnt know which a-cho it was at, but someone explained how to get there already so im all good! ill be there for sure

Hintalove Posted April 8, 2008 Posted April 8, 2008 That pizza place we went to in Ikebukuro back when I met you is a shakeys too.
