[Chris Chaos]

Thanks for coming out this weekend everyone! UFGTX could have not been the major it was without all of you guys!  I'm happy that the Midwest showed out this weekend and we had some really hype matches in and out of pools, especially the Top 8's for Guilty Gear, BlazBlue and Persona!  And now to S/O

 

 

To My Chicago Bros!

• Nobodyexe - You held it down all weekend and did an awesome job!  Everyone is appreciative for what you do man. You're the glue of Chicago anime, I seriously mean that!
• ChosenNinja - You showed everyone what you're capable of this weekend. Though you didn't win, you are showing results of a winner, and you're almost there. One more push and you'll get that well deserved win everyone has been waiting for.
• BunniesFromHell - You are my favorite player bro! You gatekept DC into losers for me and I made $20 for it! Your Relius is getting really good! Plz do what you can to go to EVO this year and show that there are other Relius players out there!
• Grant - The Young Prodigy! Dude, you never cease to amaze me, especially in Persona! I saw your matches man, you're gonna be in top form for P4U2 for sure! Keep at it especially in BB, I want to see you GrantPhantom someone there!
• Exia - We have our good days, and our off days, and sometimes, we get the crap end of the deal. Even so, you fought your heart out from the beginning to the end. Don't let your results get to you, we all know how good you are.
• Zerashi - I saw a few of your matches too! I was wondering when you'd get that spark bro, and UFGT was where you got it! Keep playing with confidence and you get results! See what happened here at UFGT? Keep it up man!
• Agito - Dude, those matches on stream tho! This is the Agito I've been waiting for all this time! You've got it bro! keep it up!
• Teo - I missed your matches man but from what I heard you did good! Keep it up bro!
• CrazyApe64 - Great showing at UFGT man! Keep it up, and we hope to see you again, more so at casuals since you'll be moving closer from what I heard! Hope that's true.
• Pops (GivingUpOnLife) - Congrats man! Taking a major at the "AGE OF FOURTEEN (14)!" With the players you had to contend with, it's an impressive feat! Japan is already talking about you bro! You're doing something right if you're creating buzz internationally so keep doing your thing!
• blackSNAKE - Good stuff on taking Guilty Gear! It was a tough tournament, probably one of the toughest in a long time! You deserved that win and one day, I will win one myself. Probably not for a long while haha!

Michigan Family

• AXIS - You fought your heart out this weekend! Learned so much playing you and you deserved that Top 8! Great showing!
• BananaKen - Holding it down really well in that Grand Finals in BBCP! It was one of the closest sets I've seen in a long time and one of the most exciting! Especially your persona run! It was too good! I'll have to get with you for some games in BB/P4A
• Skye - I didn't get to see you much but I heard you were one step away from escaping pools. Good stuff overall and I hope to see more of you.

 

My Boys from Florida!

• DC - It's always a blast hanging with you at these events, and I'm happy to hear you really enjoyed yourself at UFGT this year!
• TheArm05 - It was a pleasure to finally play you. We've met before but we didn't get the chance to hang out, talk, nor play.  Thats changed now and I'm glad you made it out here and placed this weekend! Love watching your Azrael!
• Setsuna (Tsuntenshi) - Glad you made it out as well! I'll be messing around with Weiss a bit more once this school thing calms down a bit haha! Hope you enjoyed yourself and let's hang out some more next time! Especially in Chinatown!
• Zenosuke - Nice to meet you again, and this time we got to talk a bit more. hanging out with you and Cary was fun! And don't worry, Chinatown will be here for a long time, so when you come back, You know where we're going!

East Coast

• Grover - You sir, are da gawd! The finals for P4A was so exciting to watch and commentate! So close man, I can't wait to see what you do in P4AU!
• DaiAndOh - Glad you made it out sir! I may not be the best Chipp but I at least hope I offered you enough experience to help you in the long run.

PNW

• Vistah - You came out here all the way from the west coast and got Top 8 in P4A! Love your nutty style of play, and it works well in your favor!
• DaveO - I didn't see you much but I heard you were in the building and wanted to say thanks for showing up again this year!

Ohio

• Brandino - Dude, you're good! Your O-Sol is one of the best, if not the best in the states for sure! It just seems you need an additional push to get you there. We talked, you know what you gotta do.
• Circuitous - Nice job making it into Top 16! It's obvious that you still put in work and I love that about you, and the hugs <3
• Amadeous - We all have our bad days, but we bounce back, which I know you will!  Think about what happened this weekend as motivation to get better overall!

Gear Players

• Kenji - Man, its something else to see you play in person! Too sick and too strong, taking 3rd place!
• Fiestament - Great Job on taking 2nd this year! Very impressive play from your Testament!
• VR-Raiden - Thanks for coming out and making Top 8! You deserved it bro! It was fun getting casuals in with you and Dai in the room this weekend, a good change of pace
• Skeletal Minion - Good stuff on making Top 8 in Guilty Gear as well! You were really impressive to watch and I wish I could have gotten a set with you but I was too busy.  Next Time, we'll play.

Sorry but my list is getting really long so I have to cut it short.  If I didn't mention you, I'm sorry but there are way too many of you LOL!  Now It's time for me to catch up on some sleep!

 

Shoutouts to Shoutouts!

[Stellarcircle5]

I just want to give some shoutouts to Shinsyn and Mike Z for giving me the extra push I needed to get over my fear of getting bodied by good players. It had been an issue for a long time and I couldn't be happier. Thanks guys, this community rocks.

[abadlime]

Had a lot of fun and was totally worth going.  Definitely going to step up my game (and not make silly decisions) to makes sure i at least get into top 16 next time.  Had tough competition and i loved it.

 

Thanks to Pops and Bloodwolf for being my buddies there and for Shin getting people out here.  Hell, everyone there was great to be around.  They made this an awesome event.  Hope everyone had as much fun as I did.  

[DaiAndOh]

May take an extra minute for true shoutouts, but yes Shinsyn, even though I lost to Devil Chipp, it was really close and I learned a lot from our games.

[BloodWolF]

I really enjoyed it and am glad I made it. Great games everyone. There were a lot of great players to play casuals with. Thanks to Badlime and Rei Scarred for the casuals and shooting the shyt with me. Thanks to Axis and Shinsyn for EARLY morning casuals (extra shout outs to Shinsyn for killing the dream...twice. Those were some amazing matches.) I felt like a could do so much more in the lagless environment and really enjoyed throwing swords at so many skilled players. I'll have to work hard (when I can) to place higher next time, but even without the tournament, the casuals were worth the trip. Well played everyone and I look forward to more opportunities in the future.

[Teyah]

Aw man, shoutouts time~

 

 

AK1 - Hey - you did really well for being a new player to GG, congrats on top 16.  It was cool hanging with you, and listening to you and Kenji get hype over old Japanese shows was hilarious.

 

Amadeous - I really, really wish we didn't have to play each other first round.  I totally understand how you were feeling, as I had that same feeling in my very next match against Kenji.  Your Jam was impressive and fun to play against.  You are really talented, I'm glad I was able to play you a bunch this weekend - GGs!

 

Circuitous - It was great to meet you, and my apologies for not getting to play when you were looking for games (I was super drained after getting destroyed by Kenji).  Though I wonder if you would have accepted a FT5 set for Super Mod?  Congrats on top 16, and I will pray for Potemkin buffs in Xrd console for ya.

 

DaiAndOh - All this time I thought you were that black(?) guy in your avatar, so I was super confused when you introduced yourself to me, haha.  I can see your passion for the game (and Venom) by the way you talk,, you've got the right attitude to take you really far in this game.

 

Fiestament - Dude - why is your power level so high when you play on stream??  Great matches and congrats on 2nd place, you deserved 1st with the way you were playing through top 16.  I don't think I will ever forget your match with Brandino, you made Testament look like his old AC self in that fight!  I'll catch you at Evo if you go, otherwise SCR next year for sure.

 

KBNova - I have to say thanks to you for suggesting that I come out to Chicago, before we had that talk @ NWM I wasn't really considering it, but I'm super glad I did make the trip.  Good job in the tourney, even if Jessie bested you in the end (he played his heart out though).  I was still the most scared of you than any other player out there, things just didn't work out this time for you but I'm sure you'll be back stronger than before.  I will too!

 

Shinsyn - Big props for putting on this great event.  The $1,000 bonus was a nice incentive to get people to come out (it was part of the reason I came too).  I've gotta say though, Pool G was unusually stacked on one side and broke many hearts, so please try to seed more in future tourneys!

 

Skeletal Minion - Your ABA was super scary, man.  Congrats on top 8, you certainly deserved it after that match with NerdJosh where you just went ham at first, but then changed it up after he started adapting to you.  Matches like that one are what keep GG exciting to old people like me, so I just wanted to say thanks - stuff like that is what makes these tourneys worth it, to me.

 

SlothFacts - It was cool meeting you, I can tell you've been working hard since you've only been playing for 3 months.  The great thing about GG is that it rewards hard work moreso than other fighters out there - so if you put that level of work into Xrd and keep training, you've got potential to be one of the stronger players out there within a year or two.

 

Stellarcircle5 - Man, I didn't even know you were there until halfway through Saturday, and after that I couldn't find you!  Sorry I couldn't say hi in person, but I'll say it now - and I'm glad that GG is alive in other parts of Canada too.  Keep playing!

 

SymVici - So after like 6 years we finally meet - good shit on getting 4th place.  Your Millia neutral and pressure is on point, even if your ability to do quarter circle motions is a little questionable.  Oh, and guess who held down-forward to block 2x Lvl3 Gunblaze and 2x Lvl2 Gunblaze in a tourney match?  (Haha, go try it for yourself)

 

VR - Just like with Sym, after 6 years we finally meet - congrats on 5th, and even moreso congrats on sticking it out with Sol all this time and powering through those tough matchups.  Watching your FT5 vs Skeletal Minion was really something, I saw some new ways to approach that matchup.  Your Sol is going to be a nightmare to fight against in Xrd, lol.  And thanks to you and Nam for letting me crash with you guys on Sunday, that was a lifesaver for me.

 

Woocash - I swear, this tourney was like a PC #R netplay reunion.  Out of everyone I played in casuals I had the most fun playing you and just chatting about the old days (lol).  I hope one of your characters makes it into Xrd soon.  In the meantime I hope you have fun spamming those double butterflies online!

 

Zero Wolf Fafnir Brandino - Man, your HOS was super crazy fast, 1000 miles a minute.  Those 2H mixups you were doing were cool, you got me nearly every time with those.  When we played again after, you dialed it back a bit and that's when I thought you were at your best.  GGs dude!

 

Zinac - Hey - it was cool to finally meet you after seeing you on dustloop for such a long time.  And GGs - your Faust is really solid and literally turned half the screen into a no-fly zone with your AA reactions.  I'm sure you'll enjoy Xrd Faust a lot (unlike the rest of us).

 

 

And finally... some jbbs poster said:

終わり終わり 

 

RIP Sol, Eddie

 

 

See you guys at Evo

[RifleAvenger]

I'm glad I went to UFGT, even if it did tire me out by the end.  I'll admit I got frustrated sometimes, especially with how I've been unable to play for a long time and it seemed like everyone else moved ahead while I stayed behind. However, I'm glad I got the chance to play against so many different people and watch high level play for many different games.

 

I owe a lot of specific people, but since I'll be seeing a lot of you in person I'd rather tell you then.  Someone I need to thank who I won't be seeing anytime soon is Bloodwolf, who I need to thank for giving me Nu-13 XP.  Seriously, I don't think anyone around here plays that character.  Though I will see him, Shin deserves my thanks for a whole lot of things, foremost among them running the Persona side tourney so I could play Liz seriously one last time before I switch to SHO in Ultimax.  Although I didn't get their names, I want to thank the people who ran the Melty Side Tourney as well; even though I got straight knocked out, it was real fun to get introduced to the game, and Warachia is an instant favorite in my list of characters.

 

I'll try my best to improve, get farther, and not get knocked out by being impatient vs DP or dropping a knockout Wail combo (the latter was probably the most painful thing to happen to me personally all weekend).

[Callisto]

Shoutouts to StupidNinja for the victory cheeseburger, I actually hadn't gotten to leave my stream station long enough to eat yet at that point in the day so it was actually pretty clutch lol

[DaiAndOh]

Yup...new signature.

Probably going to be talking about people not on dustloop anyway.

Keits: I can't thank you enough for making this happen, and for giving GG and VSav a chance to do their thing.

PS. BUFF S-KILL.

The roomies:

Apollo: Thank you for taking care of room reservations and running a tight ship. T8 in VSav next time, you got this!

Jay: Thanks for recording extra VSav matches. I don't get what was wrong with your hair exactly though lol.

GBursine: Always a pleasure. Hakan is one of the SFIV characters I enjoy most, was great watching you on stage, King of NJ . But never take me to a game with X-Factor again!

Omni: Only one night of knees thankfully. Keep up the 2 year old tech. Let's see that Sol next time!

Grover: It was a great WF and GF set. No shame in how you played (and everyone is only remembering your death combo).

Mindgame: Thanks for use of your room Thursday night!

Other northeast:

Slothfacts: Last minute but you made it! Just found out this thread you've only been playing 3 months, dude don't beat yourself up! Just practice hard!

Super J: Good to see you man. This guy travels, but doesn't like to talk about it like I do, be on the lookout! Also hit me up, we need to talk about GUTS.

Kitsoru: Got left out in the streets of Chicago, and I discovered glorious fried cheese curds. And more 2S.

GG Players (sorted by pre-reg pool and ABC order, then the rest):

Amadeous: Thank you for the rides and graciously letting us your hotel room for Guilty Beer. I know it's rough now, but you can make it through.

Desmond: Let's go get some BBQ and get busy.

Kenji: Top notch play all weekend. Learned so much playing you. As well as being your usual chill self. Shoutouts to T. Hawk.

Teyah: Great to meet you too! I appreciate the kind words. Shame Sol is RIP, it was nice to see one with such real footsies.

Blacksnake: Great player, greater man. You deserve it all. Congratulations! I'll see you on that stage in the greatest mirror match...one day...

Circ: A burly heart and friend to the very end.

Devil Chipp: Really close match in pools! Hope to hear from you more down the line!

Sonicspear: Great to meet you. Fish army for life.

Nerdjosh: GGs. I wanted to take my liege's soul back to NY with me, but it was not to be . Finally great to run into you since...last EVO I think?

Zinac: Always a pleasure to talk to you about the state and direction of FN. We didn't get to play GG this time, but soon enough. Congrats on the move! And thanks for letting me run a good chunk of the bracket! Because you know...I gotta get it in.

Ludwig: You don't shout me out on twitter, I'll still shout you out here .

Skeletal: I think we got the mushy words over with on twitter :P. GGs!

Sym: I LOVE YOU....but still not THAT much . As strong and scary as ever to play.

Shinsyn: Thank you for putting in work the whole tournament. Again, those games helped significantly!

Eshi: Always great to run into you. And got to see you play GG this time!

Mike Z: "Oh you won a game". haha. Seriously though, as much as I may annoy you, it's always great to talk to you about fighting games. Commentary together was fun!

Sesshyru: Good to see you, been a minute!

VR Raiden: Congrats on the placing! Thank you for only doing 9 Riot Stomps that match!

Brandino: Always a contender. The HOS mirrors were entertaining.

Fiestament: You've gotten stronger since the last time I've seen you! An excellent finals match! #Kimochi

SH_: You know it's serious when your tag is tattoo'd to your arm! GGs!

The other GG players: GGs if I played you. GGs if I did not, because the whole tournament was great!

Vamp Fam:

Mar: Congrats! The work you put in is tremendous and inspiring!

Kendra: Thanks for hosting everyone! But I'll kill you if you bring more cookies and don't get me any .

AL Crew: Thanks for coming out!

Pockets: The man rocking the cradle. Hope you had a great time and come out to more events from now on!

Fuzzy: GGs! Bee is scary x_x

Floe (like he's gonna see this): Have to admit, it was amusing to see you surprised that Pockets came out to event. But hey, you beat him! Good stuff getting that far! And keep up the work in BB, if you put real time into it, you could be a top player easily imo.

The rest of the rest:

Glaceon: Good to meet you! Glad to hear you enjoyed your first event! Cookie was delicious!

Skye: Played a GG match to get in Guilty Beer. I respect it!

The bracket runners: Putting in the work as always. I know how it goes.

The streamers: Also putting in work. Everything as far as I know went completely smooth! Good stuff!

Sanitizer at every table: My tournament dream come true.

THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYONE!

[Chris Chaos]

Wait, SH_ was there?! Are you serious?! I didn't even get to meet the guy in person!

 

I feel like hot garbage now...

[DaiAndOh]

Yeah he was around after finals on Sunday for a few hours playing casuals.

[Chris Chaos]

I wanna kill myself now... I can't believe I missed my change to play him!

[nobodyexe]

Fuck everyone

[fiestamente]

Wow, it has taken me a while to chill out after this past weekend…I’m still reeling!

 

Ama- Good to see you again! I didn’t know first to 5 casual matches were so serious! We’ll finish what we started next time we meet!

 

DaiandOh- good job commenting, and super thanks for lending me your stick. Mine broke just 10 min before tourney started and I needed a good, reliable stick. Many thanks. Keep up your venom play, he’s a tough beast but you’re almost there.

 

Teyah – You said there aren’t enough shout outs these days…so here’s one for ya! Dude, good shit in the tourney, I didn’t know there would be IK’s up in thiss??!!!! Dynamite shit. Hit me up when you’re in the bay area, we’ll chill and play. Also, say what’s up to Siestament for me.

 

Kenji – Senpai, you da best. Your zappa/anji shit is nasty. But just overall you’re an amazing player. Glad we’ve been able to hit training hard. Now we look to EVO! ::BROFIST::

 

Blacksnake – How crazy and fitting that the two diehard south-side gear players made it to the top? You played well as always. No surprise you made champ, your game is astounding. (I’m pretty sure it’s that damn beard giving you that kind of reaction ability) ps: one day we will have a beard –off.

 

Sarvets – Dude, thanks for being my drinking buddy. We destroyed that place Friday night. Let’s party again soon….also, keep on that Chipp. You have the heart, my friend. Get that EXP!

 

Bob Washington – Thanks for dubs, dubs DUBS! Great seeing you again, hope to see you soon.

 

Skeletal Minion – That ABA. Major contender and hard fighter. Hope to see you at EVO, your combos still haunt me when I close my eyes.

 

Sym – You rocked it hard man. Honorary Chicago gear player, holding down that Indiana rep. Our match was really hard for me…Millia being one of my most hated match ups. Thanks for the order-sol warm up, really helped.

 

Brandino – Young buck, you fight hard and with passion. I think you know what you have to do, and I’m sure next time we fight it will be harder to out-patience you. Thanks for the match, we gave them a good show!

 

Nerd Josh – Good shit all weekend, always a pleasure to see you in tourney. I saw your wallet busted thanks to all those winnings…what will you ever do? Probably buy more meat bun shirts...anyway, good shit, see you at EVO. Shout out to SoCal in general!

 

ShinSyn: Yo! I understand you had to rep your boy blacksnake! I would have done the same. But I also felt the love, and I give you props. We didn’t get to play but next time we will hit up that Chipp/Test match up. But chances are we’ll be playing that Xrd!

 

SH_: Would have been a hell of a different tournament if you made it out in time. Good to see you again!

 

Hot Fire Award to Keits and NobodyEXE for making this tourney as hype as possible.

 

I can’t possibly remember errebody right now but for those I got to play, thanks for the games and GG’s all! THANK YOU for keeping guilty gear alive and well! See you at EVO.

Hit me up @fiestamente or PSN: FN_Tore_UP / xboxlive: MisaisAwesome

 

peace out, great tourney you guys!

[KBnova]

Thanks to everyone at UFGT especially Shinsyn, Keits, nobodyEXE and more. It was a great week/end to remember and so many people I haven't seen in months or years.  I agree with Teyah, there needs to be more SHOUT OUTS like the old days such as Mirc for d/ling JP match vids, before twittah, FB, etc. CONAN STYLE!

 

Jessie aka FIESTAMENT aka Condor Dive: I'm so proud of you man! Great showing at UFGT and our training has paid off, hats off to you brotha! But expect more very very very very soon! We got one more to go EVO! 

 

Blacksnake aka KINGBEARD!: Hey Prucha, thank you for letting me crash with you and thanks for all good altered beast sessions! 'POWUR AWP' And once again congrats on taking UFGT! It's nice to see you always and hopefully Evo  Also those rice krispie bars were some of the best i've had. Go Starbucks!

 

Syms: Edy thanks for the lift from the airport and great seeing you again and really enjoyed our matches over the week. I hope to come up there for Xrd and chill with you guys when Mike hits back Chicago with his waifuu~ Definitely one of the best Millias stateside and great showing all around man! See you on Skype, as I type this, lol. cheers man.

 

Teyah: Paul glad you made it out and that you had a great time man Thats what counts and hope to see you at Evo in month or so. I really liked seeing you play so many characters in the tourney and really showing your MU knowledge with each one. Paul COME TO EVO Till next time   

 

Sarvets: Fred mode, great to see you brotha. Truly a fun weekend and room 233 got more hype once we found out it was right across from you guys! Too bad we didn't get to play but we altered beasted it up! You going to EVO? If you have free time try to make it out man and we shall get more time to hang out. 

 

Skeletal_Minion: Wes, your matches were extremely hype and a rare sighting of such a solid ABA. Great play all weekend and you demonstrated how crazy Goku mode can be....your match between Nerdjosh was very good and it was so damn cool looking with those crazy corner combos. I hope to see you at Evo if time allows it and i know your a busy man but hope to see you again! If not Xrd events for sure Take it easy man and great sessions too. 

 

Bob Washington: Great seeing you again and hope to play more SF4 once Ultra hits. I will pick it up and maybe it'll keep my attention longer. 

 

Cbus crew: Ama/ Brandino/ Circ and SH! Great seeing you guys and really improved a lot since last time, SH needs to come out more because he still has it! Dat fiyah! I might be stopping by Cbus in near future so I will hit you guys up when the time comes but great seeing you all there. Much Love to my hometown brothas. 

 

Shinsyn: Chris great job with running the events this past weekend and ran really smooth and clean. I'm sure you are exhausted the whole weekend but you did such a fantastic job! Great casual sessions also and your Chipp is very good! Definitely seeing the growth and improvement and you will be very scary in Xrd Take it easy and hope to see you at Evo sir! Cheers Chris   

 

Daiandoh: Andreewwwwwwwww man Great seeing you at UFGT!! Was a weekend full of hella cray stories and memories. Unfortunate that karaoke didn't happen but tons of casuals made up for it and beer+food! Look forward to seeing you again in near future at Evo and I really liked your Venom play. Keep slinging balls in peoples faces, lol. 

 

Zinac: Chase sir, great seeing you too man and nice catching up with what you been up to and hope things will surface in near future for your project. Hope to see you again at Evo and look forward to hearing more about your progress with the game! Keep going man Cheers!

MikeZ: Mike, great seeing you at UFGT and had a fun time watching you play with Potemkin. I know you hate the Zappa MU  but regardless you are such a great player and congrats on the recent SG release and everyone was so hype during the top 8. Hope to see you at Evo and we should hang out more then. Take it easy! 

 

also everyone I met during casuals or just chillin, it was definitely a pleasure and hope to see everyone at EVO.

 

additional shoutouts to T.Hawk! Condor dive and levi's jeans.

[DaiAndOh]

Nah, no EVO this year for me. Got it done last year, I'll potentially be going next year. TSB in Japan is going to potentially complicate things on my end really...

[VR-Raiden]

I need to do some shoutouts too cause UFGTX was easily some of the most fun I've had at a tournament to date. Thanks to everyone who made it possible!

Mike Z, GGs in our tourney matches, I hope we get the chance to play again soon. I enjoyed your commentary and the Riot Stomp counter haha

Brandino, GGs in tourney and casuals. It was great getting to meet/play you offline. Your offense was too much for me to handle, very good stuff with that HOS!

Eshi, good to see you again and GGs in our GG and BB matches! We seem to be running into each other in the same brackets often lately haha

Woocash, nice meeting and talking with you. GGs in tourney and casuals! You were doing some cool Baiken/Anji stuff which I definitely hadn't seen before. That FB On tech trap had me like...well shit LOL

Filthy Luker, good seeing you again and GGs in casuals/tourney/MM. Definitely learned a lot the hard way on that match up lol. That Axl is solid as hell!

Skeletal Minion, also good to see you again and GGs in our casuals/MM. It was fun learning from your terrifying ABA! We had some real intense matches.

Sym, great meeting you after netplaying +R so much lately! Thanks for the matchup tips. GGs in tourney, I only wish I wasn't playing in full panic mode for our match, you were reading me like a book lol! Good stuff getting 4th that Millia is so strong.

DaiAndOh, good to see you again and GGs in those room casuals! Enjoyed your commentary as always.

Kitsoru, also good seeing you again and getting more chance to talk/play! You'll get the Sol match down just have to keep playing it. And any questions about it you might have you know what Jam/Sol players you can ask! Also, that totally intentional wake-up parry on my jump in was great lol

ShinSyn, also great seeing you again. GGs in the room casuals and tourney. Always enjoy playing your Chipp! Special thanks for putting so much in that pot bonus and working hard to run stuff smoothly.

Teyah, awesome finally meeting you after playing so much in #R PC so long ago! Enjoyed our talks and thanks for the match up tips. GGS in casuals and grats on 5th. Long live Sol mirrors!

Sarvets, nice meeting you and GGs! Keep it up with the Chipp.

Tsukahara, nice meeting you and GGs! Nice Johnny.

FleshPounder, nice meeting you and GGs! We only got to play 1 set but that Dizzy was scary.

Bob Washington, nice meeting you and GGs. Long live Sol mirrors!

SlothFacts, good seeing you again and GGs, glad you were able to make it!

LudwigVan, we didn't get to play but good seeing you again!

SuperJ, GGs as always!

Amadeous, good seeing you again and GGs! Feels like you've really come a long way in that matchup.

Zinac, nice meeting you and GGs. That Faust is crazy I feel like I can't move lol

Circ, good seeing you again! Wish we got to play more but GGs.

Nope, we didn't get to play but I could tell your improving with Sol. Sorry bout not getting to show you stuff in person but hopefully my next vid helps. Loved your match with ShinBlade lol

Also GGs in BB to Johnny Morris, Silent Z, BloodWolf.

GGs in P4A to Duckator, Setsuna (good seeing you again and getting to play offline!), Psykotik (thanks again for the Riot Stomp at WB LOL), and Vista. Grats on placing 2nd Grover! The death combo made me happy.

My only regret is not just pulling an allnighter on Sunday to play more GG. Would've loved to play you Kenji, Fiestament, and blackSNAKE. But I'm sure we'll get the chance again sometime soon.

If I forgot you sorry this is getting long if I met you nice meeting you, if we played GGs!

Til next time!

I knew you wouldn't make it to 10 . But you cut it close!

[Woocash]

Cheers everybody! I don't think I've been in such a big GG tourney, glad I made it as far as I did! I've been a lurker for so long, it's nice to connect with some peeps.

 

Kenji: Thank you sir! Always a pleasure losing to you in the tournament! Will keep the Japanese spirit of Anji alive 

 

VR-Raiden: For sure! You did really well in the tourney, congrats!

 

Circ and Amadeous: Glad you guys made it out to Chicago, and dat Jam - I will be the death of you the next time I see you <3 Circ we need some rematches!

 

Teyah: So good meeting you sir! After years of playing online, it's weird to meet in real life, but it was awesome to bring those #Reload memories back :3

 

Cheers to everybody who I've played in casuals, especially the Anji and Bridget players (sorry don't think I remember the handles).

 

And all you Chicago peeps, you know who you are, GGs all around, I think we've shown what we got here in the Midwest!! 

[Brandinoli]

Despite having a hell of a time getting to UFGT I had a blast hanging and playing against everyone! I'll definitely make sure to come back a stronger player!

[Setsuna]

I was going to do a long list but I'm lazy so I'll just say thank you to everyone that made it a great weekend !
