This shit was fun as hell. It was nice to see a lot of old faces, and given that people had to be pulled from every other tournament throughout the day it went pretty smoothly. Big thanks to all the people who helped run this thing (and there were many)

glad to see ggac success! xD

[Shinobi!]

The Espada has returned. Sorry I didn't get to enter GG, doing the whole staff thing. It was good to see my peoples again (Tad, John, Jeff, Phir, Stone, Kyle, I'm lookin' at ya'll). I got fully off on getting drunk for ya'll...just like the good ol' days. Thanks for the grapefruit vodka John.

GGs to the few people I did actually play in GG when I had time to break. Black guy, black hat, blue staff shirt, running bad blockstrings Ky.

Late Shout-Outs

Heidern98 - As always, NICE WORK on running the GGAC tournament and cracking a lot of funny jokes. Again, nice work and I hope to see you running GGAC again next year!

The FR'11 Staff and other helpers - I sincerely thank you people for making this year's tourney more prompt and organized than last year's tourney. Good job on helping Heidern98 run a successful GGAC tourney with commentary, the stream, and straight seriousness! You all helped make FR'11 a lot better. Thank you and I hope to see you again at FR'12!

FlashMetroid - First and foremost, thank you for being one of top GGAC players to support the game by competing and beasting. You and those other nameless individuals can say what you want, but we both hadn't played the game in years and still were able to execute some nice combos and setups in the Winner's and Grand Finals! Good work and thanks for supporting the GGAC tourney. Until the next time....

Frank the Tank - As with FlashMetroid, I thank you for coming to FR'11 and beasting in the GGAC tourney. Lol you almost killed me in one, tension-less combo in our first set off of a CH 5HS. Good job on placing top 3 man! Until the next time...

Kyle - It was definitely nice to see you again and I thank you for competing in GGAC as usual. That May of yours was still on point, especially in that entertaining set against Zinac. Lol man we should have played some casuals in Tekken; that Yoshimitsu experience would've helped me out in my set against JustFrameJames. Again, good stuff as usual and thanks for the support. Until the next time...

TheSlyMoogle - As with everyone else, it was nice to see you again and reppin' that Anji in GGAC. Our set came down to the last pixel of life, good stuff!

Ky-Sama and Sol-Bumguy - It was nice to meet the both of you and watch yall handle business in matches. I know you two get this a lot but it is very rare, yet very pleasing to see beautiful women beast in competitive fighters, ESPECIALLY GGAC!

-----------Eta (I hope I spelled it right) - Thanks for supporting GGAC as usual by competing and helping run the tourney. Those were some good casual matches we had and it was a pleasure to meet you. Until the next time...

-----------Nina - As with Eta, thanks for your contributions at FR'11. Although we didn't get to game, I saw you handling folk in casuals. Nice meeting you and good stuff.

krazykorean456 - Phil you already know man. It's always good to see you and the other Tennesseans at these tourneys. Yall are like my other family. We had a close First Round set to start off the tourney and some really good casuals to warm-up for the tourney. That Millia wasn't slackin' lol. Good stuff as usual and thanks for the support. Until the next time man....

4gotten_kazama - Again, it was good to see you reppin' in both Tekken 6 and GGAC. That Zappa of yours was gettin' it in I see; you beat AzurePhoenix in a decisive set to stay alive in the tourney. Good stuff in that GGAC man and thanks for the support. See you at the next one...

Zinac - As with everyone else, man thanks for competing in the tourney and supporting GGAC. You were one of the few of us that didn't look as rusty with execution. That was an amazing match you and Kyle had against each other in semi's; it was really close and well played with you barely falling short. Nevertheless, it was good seeing that Faust in action again and I'll see you at the next one...

Alphakami - It was good to see you again bro; that Ky still gots' it I see. Thanks for all of the support and I'll see you at the next one.

Team Espada - Good stuff yall niggahs, especially to myself for winning Final Round 2011 and to General for placing 5th alongside of Zinac. AzurePhoenix and ShinBlade, thanks for supporting via competing as best as you could despite being EXTREMELY RUSTY!!! If GGAC is included at ANY major in the future, then we need to win it!!!

To Everyone else - I thank you all for showing up and supporting the Guilty Gear: AC tourney. It was nice to see all of the old faces and meet some of the new players. Hats off to everyone who competed and to those who helped run the tourney! Until next time.....

[Zinac]

Too many people I didn't get a chance to play against, oh well maybe next FR. See everyone who's going at Powerup!

[Sol-Bumguy]

I was going to wait until Monday or Tuesday, but...Congrats to the winners/top 8!

Even though there were AT LEAST 10 GG players who previously planned on going to FR, but had to cancle last minute (due to personal issues), it was still very fun/hype <3 I TRULY do apologize to those of you I held up due to STICK ISSUES (sorry if I seemed irritated, it just sucks when you try to charge, charge cancle, action charge, etc and your Dust Button keeps going out)-- it was extremely embarrassing and shameful, but it should be working better for now on...

I would also like to thank everyone for their patience with my sister and I-- it was our FIRST TIME helping run a tournament/being staff members/volunteers...It was a very unique experience, and if allowed to again, we would love to help run/organize a another GG tournament (hopefully do a better job, next time? Jeff is a pro already)...

Kyle: Thank you so much for allowing everyone to play in your room, as well as helping whenever you were able to... I truly regret never getting the chance to play you, but perhaps someday... Congrats on 4th place, stay GDLK ^_^

Zoogstin: It was nice seeing/playing you again, sorry if I was not a challenge-- I totally have no clue how to play the ZA-OR match-up (I should learn all of my bad match-ups, instead of somewhat relying on counter-picking). You have the best US Zappa I have ever seen/played, and keep up the great work-- you helped represent NC well!

Alphakami: Thank you for bringing the TV's to Kyle's room, and GG's on Sunday-- your Ky is very good/different, and it was very fun to play you...Take care.

Solid Play: It was nice to see/play you again; sorry about the mirror matching...I just dislike playing the SO-OR match-up, LOL...I wish you would have placed higher, but great players tend to place lower than they deserve sometimes, sorry:( But your Sol was ON FIRE during casuals-- keep beasting, and never give up <3

TheSlyMoogle: It was a pleasure to finally play you, and great job placing so high-- please continue to play/keep GG alive!

JewDoSmash(??): GG's in casuals, and thanks for the kindness and helping find more entrants for GG <3

AsianNightBlade: GG's in casuals and in the tournament-- Slayer makes me panic, LOL

The General: GG's, keep grabbing bursts, LOL...

Lil Majin: Great job WINNING Guilty Gear! All of your hard work/effort had finally paid (literally, LOL) off <3 I never got the chance to play you, but I saw you tearing up people-- stay GDLK, and please continue to play GG...

Stone: Ugh...I was dying to play you again ever since EVO, but I am sorry that my stick trouble prevented that... Your Johnny is very solid, and thanks for being such a nice guy <3 <3

KrazyKorean: Good job doing so well in casuals+tournament. Even though the MI-OR match-up is in OR's favour, I have NO IDEA how to effectively fight her (but playing you did help a bit, thank you), and yes, she does annoy me, no offense, LOL...But your Millia is solid, congrats on 9th^_^

4GottenHazama: Your spirit was quite inspiring...You did very well in the tournament, and please continue to play GG <3

Everyone else that helped with the tournament/I played/spoke to: GG's; I do not have a great memory, but I appreciated every match that I played and I thank everyone who entered GG+wishes to keep the game alive. However, it would have been nice to play more people...Sorry, I was EXTREMELY tired/distracted during the entire weekend, so I might have ignored people by mistake...No hate, I hope that everyone had fun/a safe trip back home <3

I also Thank Shin Blanka & Shonda for their effort, selfless acts of kindness and for creating one of the GREATEST/most hype tournaments out there (full shoutout at SRK)

BTW, sorry about Dragon Installing a few people-- was not trying to be mean/arrogant, just trolling

So late... but I gotta hit up the shouts, cuz It's Guilty Gear.

Heidern - Thanks for heading shit up, again. Good to see you. Shit talkin' on smoke breaks too much fun.

Majin - Hell yeah. The crown is in TN. Great shit man. You also pass out in room parties like a beast.

KrazyPhil - Glad you liked that pad. I realized it's Shouse's old pad. Legendary weapon. Good shit on 9th.

4GottenSteve- You didn't forget shit, niggamus prime. Fun watching you claw back some wins.

PaulFX - Too much fun drinking and talkin' lucky about the time thing. Great to see you again, top tier times.

SlyJohnny: Great kickin' it with you all weekend bro. Good times. Quit playing that doo-doo color Ky. Also, Grapefruit and vodka almost made me belive in God.

GENERAL - That combo show on Sunday was my FR GG highlight. You command some forbidden knowledge. Great set too. Never gets old. If you find yourself in TN give me a call.

DoomScyther - Great seein' you, great match in the tournament, good job putting me out. Hope Chicken Waffles all that it promised.

SolidPray - Good chillin' glad you got on that mic, and great shit in GG, and thanks for supporting casual room party!

Ky Crawford - Glad to finally play you, I wish we'd gotten more in. I think I enjoy mirroring your Ky more than any, we play totally different, and it sweet. Great Eddie as well! Respect knuckles.

Sol Crawford - Sunday set was so much fun, you play a gutsy game. Thanks for helping run stuff and supporting the Gear gathering.

Matt the Frank - Way to show us how you love Gear. Way to place high and be fun to watch run shit. Good seein' you again!

All GG - Thanks to the scene for still being awesome. Glad to still support with equipment when I can. Great games, great times. See everyone next year, hopefully sooner.

[Lil Majin]

The top 8 vids? Could someone please elaborate on this?

[McArthur]

i know the vids'll be uploaded soon but just wonderin, on which youtube channel would the vids be uploaded?

thanks xD

[Ky-Sama]

These are probably the latest shout-outs EVER!

ShinBlanka/Larry: Thank you SO MUCH for making Final Round possible-- all of your effort, hard work, and doing your best to keep fighting games alive is very kind, unselfish, and is much appreciated.

Kyle: Thank you so much for letting everyone to play in your room! It was great to play you for the first time; great May, and thank you for double-checking the brackets when I asked you if they were correct. I'm so happy that you got 4th place - please keep playing GG ♥.

SolidPlay: It was great to meet/play you again, sorry for using Eddie so much -- I hadn't realized that you did not know how to fight against Eddie until the last of the 2nd-3rd set, which is why I had to ask; still, you did waay better than anyone I've seen "fighting blind". Nice sets, beastly Sol! ♥

Alphakami: Thank you for bringing the TV's to Kyle's room, and GG's. Your Ky is pretty unique, and has some great solid combo's! Too bad we only played like 2 or 3 sets... The Ky mirror was really fun, and I enjoyed playing Eddie against you as well! Respect knuckles.

Lil Majin: Congrats on WINNING Guilty Gear! I have honestly never seen ANYONE win a tournament with Chipp! It was nice playing you (eventhough I did terrible) -- too bad you were rusty, but I'm glad you managed to knock it off to win GG. Stay GDLK, and keep reppin' that Chipp!

Stone: It was nice playing you again, sorry that I couldn't make out a word you were saying, while we were playing (that place was just too loud+I was tired). Eventhough you were rusty, you still have a beastly Johnny. Thank you for always being such a nice guy ♥ ♥. Take care.

M. Song: You seem like a pretty nice guy, you also played that match-up much better than me. Nice Robo, GG's, you deserved that win.

Silent Shinobi: It was awesome to play you for the first time, IIRC, this is the first time you've touched GG in years? Nice Ky mirrors, sorry for being a prick and slashbacking your stuff, I've been practicing SBing alot lately... GG's! ^_^

Zoogstin: It was nice seeing and playing you again, sorry for doing so terrible against you. I need to learn the ZA match up :psyduck. Though, imo you have the best US Zappa I have ever played! You represented NC very well!

TheSlyMoogle: It was great to finally play you. You have a pretty good Anji, with some great comeback tricks --there were times when you had like 3% of health left, and you managed to pull off a win, good stuff. Keep playing Guilty Gear!

KrazyKorean: Good job doing so well in casuals and in the tournament. IIRC, you were the first Millia I have ever played while using Eddie. Good job placing 9th .

4GottenHazama: Your spirit was quite inspiring (more people should be like you)... Not playing since Slash you say? Still, you did very well in the tournament, and please continue to play GG ♥.

SuperFX: Really solid Johnny, GG's.

To everyone else that I met/played, sorry, I seemed distracted at times, so I might have ignored some people by mistake.. No hate... It was good to see some old and new faces! Sorry to those I may have annoyed by asking to double-check to see if I did the brackets correctly a few times... it was my first time acting as a staff member/trying to help with a tournament, so sorry... Sorry if I may have appeared to be irritated at times, I was just tired from lack of sleep -- I have nothing but ♥ for you guys, so don't worry! GG's to everyone I played! Also, please don't think I'm a tier-whore for using/playing Eddie/and doing unblockables (that's what Eddie's about, plus I just like using Eddie).

Take care! ♥

I'm really sorry for not addressing this for those of you have been waiting, the matches played on stream and top 8 were recorded but not archived on ustream. The matches you wanna see will be on the FR14 DVD, and from what I'm aware the staff are already hard at work getting that done. Support final round and buy the DVDs when they're out if you wanna see the top matches.

[Kyle]

<3 GG

<3 my GG friends

Final Round (all majors really) is becoming less of an annual competition and more of a reunion.

I'll do my best to run stuff next year. I know Jeff is involved less and less...THX for the effort and work Heinder##. We'll talk more about this later.

Big props to the GG-Girls who have frequently been going to majors for over a year now. =)

Big props to the generalMel, he drove from Midwest. solo!

Congratz Majin!

Sucks Issac didn't come to eliminate me early: He was missed.

It was very niec to see Paul & Paul again. Congratz on the business & thx for flying from CA!

ChaseFUCKINGmagic- You fucking blew it may. You had 4th. I still dunno why you didn't finish it.

Let it be known that Tad (alphakami) is the sole reason we had GG casuals, on Sunday & in my room. He supplied (3) tv's with numerous set-ups. Thank You Tad.

GG > BB

I'm really sorry for not addressing this for those of you have been waiting, the matches played on stream and top 8 were recorded but not archived on ustream. The matches you wanna see will be on the FR14 DVD, and from what I'm aware the staff are already hard at work getting that done. Support final round and buy the DVDs when they're out if you wanna see the top matches.

Although I will most likely buy the DVD (even some of the past FR DVD's as well, if possible)+I STRONGLY advise others to do the same, but some of your previous posts seemed a bit misleading, IMO (but you said that you were stuck in pools, and that tends to happen, which is no one's fault of course). Again, I strongly agree on supporting FR by purchasing the DVD(s), but why did you constantly advise/ask people to donate, if they (the people who missed the stream due to actually being at FR, work, sleeping, etc) were going to end up paying ANYWAY, in order to see footage of GG@FR? GG (top 8) would have been streamed regardless, right? Please correct me if I am totally incorrect (not that I am important/deserve an explation, only curious/assuming); I work 50+hours per week...

The bottom line: I am certain that some were *slightly* mislead (especially by earlier posts), and even though buying the FR DVD is a great thing, IMO, they/we should have been told (earlier) that we would need to BUY the DVD in order to see ANY footage of GG at FR...However, I do respect & appreciate the fact that you DID help stream GG, BB, etc and that you also have a weekly stream for everyone to appreciate (and you SUPPORTED GG by ENTERING the tournament <3)...I am just certain that some are a bit disappointed that GG rarely gets stream-time/exposure these days-- despite the fact that there are still MANY PEOPLE who wish to see it on streams, match videos , etc... Had I known this, my sister & I would have recorded more tournament/casual matches (of good players/"fan-favourites", rather than the crappy "personal" matches we recorded) and uploaded them for everyone to see-- but in NO WAY, am I saying that our footage would be a replacement/substitute for the fantastic matches that will be featured on the DVD... Anyway, I am not saying that you did not do a great job for the community, and I am certain that everyone (both those who saw and did not see the stream) appreciate the fact that any footage was streamed at all...I just feel that some (including myself) have somewhat mixed feelings about this, so perhaps next time, this sort of thing should be planned/completely sorted out well in advance (and others should offer/volunteer to help, as well?)?

I'll do my best to run stuff next year. I know Jeff is involved less and less...THX for the effort and work Heinder##. We'll talk more about this later.

Let it be known that Tad (alphakami) is the sole reason we had GG casuals, on Sunday & in my room. He supplied (3) tv's with numerous set-ups. Thank You Tad.

This...

Shoutouts to chain-smoking? JK, LOL...

And AlphaKami deserves much more credit for his efforts-- you win at life, man<3

I am indeed very sorry for being misleading, finalizing the the stream was kind of done last second. I will take fault in not preparing for what was ultimately delivered.

I will tell you guys how we ended up handling this as i was caught a bit off guard as well. First and foremost Spooky setup pretty much most everything for both streams and we really appreciate the work he did for us. Due to that it was not in my power to change any of the pre-existing setup, one of them was the official Final Round Streams page and broadcast. The stream on our side was broadcasted through ustream, and archiving videos was not allowed through that channel. On our video handling side we indeed did record the matches, but these were specifically for the DVD and nothing else. There were things I would've indeed fixed or done differently, but alas it was not my authority. So once again i deeply apologize for not delivering as promised, but rest assured those matches are recorded.
