Blaaaaargh!! I'm busy running a stall at a different event that day! I'll see if I can make it later in the evening.

 

We missed you Kenny! Good turnout with Soul Calibur being the feature game but a nice bump in interest for VF as well, we got 20 competitors and here's the top 8

VF
1)AlexMD
2)Berzerk
3)Cactus
4)CM
5)Borgie
5)THK
7)Plasia
7)Burnout

I put Alex into the lower bracket with my Pai vs his Wolf and he got sharp, efficient revenge in the final with Akira, which was streamed on www.twitch.tv/couchwarriors and should be in the archive somewhere.

 

Daaaaaaamn, Myke got smoked or something?

 

lol, no

Myke lives in Sydney and this was a Melbourne event,although I'm sure we'll see him down here in the near future

Thanks to Berzerk for pimping VF to the masses and organizing the event as usual.

 

I thought Australia had a sophisticated kangaroo transit system to get around.

Anyways, congrats to you and berzerk! (badass anime, full respect)

 

I see four different archived video streams at the CouchWarriors TwitchTV site. Which one is the VF5 final match on?

starts around 1:07, sadly the people on commentary are SF players, also this is the first ranbat of the year so we both haven't really played in 3 months

I ended up coming 3rd in Soul Calibur, originally the top 4 were going to play in front of the orchestra but it ended up only being the top 2 .

I was suffering from old man reflexes that day and despite beating the guy that beat me in tourney convincingly in casuals, I just ate lows into 50% wall combo's when I played him in tourney ....also fuck Soul Calibur.

 

Nice Akira!

 

You guys should see Myke's Akira, you probably can't get an idea on a 1 bar XBL connection but that shit is SCARY.

I once played Myke 50 games straight then put on the movie the Exorcist as a point of comparison. I laughed the whole way through it!

 

Not surprised. You learn a lot about Akira when you face opponents like the legendary execution mukky akira.

 

KO stop sucking up to Myke
