Yah, me too! D:

Yeah this thread shows up on the left of VFDC under "latest events".

Not hard at all to notice.

 

Ranking talk went here.

 

I know a whole month has gone by and yet no shouts from me. My humble apologizes. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif

I plan to write a big shout tomorrow. But for now, here is just some simple footage I taped before the tourneys took place and wanted to share. Enjoy.

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Team SoCal[/size]</span>

Plague: Talis, you hosted another spectacular event. And what is truly amazing is that each year gets better than ever. You can count on me on showing up next year. We have some work to do with getting media out and you will be hearing from me soon. Good games throughout the weekend, especially the team tourney matches. I hope I didn't offend you with my outburst, I get myself psyched when I fight on Goh's stage. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif

HowBoutSum: It always a pleasure to see and play against you Catherine. I want to personally thank you and your husband for letting me and everyone stay in your home. I love watching your Pai in action and hope you have some more surprises next time we meet. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

SillyWilly: Its not a SoCal gathering without you. You are the life of the party. Good games and good times as always and hope we can chill again soon Will. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/laugh.gif

L_A_Akira: Great to see you again Gerald. Thanks so much for letting us play at your place. We had some intense matches; I felt that you were in control and I was just trying to stay alive. Can't wait to duke it out with you again. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbs_up.gif

Brisal73: As much as I prepare to fight you I still lose to your Wolf. We have to do a proper deathmatch like we used to next year. Stay strong Brian.

GoatCheeseBlues: Our only matchup for the weekend was off the wall! I don't think I will be so lucky next time. I wished we had more games in Brian. Playing against your Sarah is a delight.

Dre: Andre, you are my hero. I wish I had your spirit. Watching you play any character is just amazing. Good games in the tourney and hope to see you again.

Ken_I: Good games and hanging out with you Ken. I have some catching up to do as you clearly bested me throughout the weekend. I promise to give you a better fight next time.

CaliJared: I'm glad to see you again Jared and happy that you are still playing and trying to improve. Keep it up and you won't be clinging on anyones pockets. heh heh /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

Matt_K: I'm glad you were around for the weekend even though it was brief. I've seen you improve so much from last year.

dennis0201: We didn't get to jam but I did watch you play and I was very impressed. May we face off in the near future. Oh, and please don't confuse me with Shang. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/whistle.gif

Betabow: Good to see you again and your powerful Lau. We didn't get to fight at all, maybe next time.

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Team NorCal[/size]</span>

Renzo: Awesome games we had Jeff. Truly nail-biting. May our next matches be just as fierce.

Enfantin_Chloe: So good to see you again Stephanie. I see that you have been training. I'll be at Vegas and hope to see you and Renzo there.

DubC: It was nice to get some offline games with you. Just promise me it won't take 10 minutes to start playing next time as you load up your profile. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/sleep.gif

001: I felt bad that you spent so much time working on mods at the gathering. You have a solid Blaze and was a blast to play. I hope to see you again at Evo for more games.

Scamp: It was cool meeting you. I rarely get to fight against Eileen and you left a good impression on me with our matches.

haunts: You came out of nowhere and amazed everyone with your Goh skills at the team tourney. The fated Goh face-off WILL GO DOWN when we see each other again.

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Team South West[/size]</span>

KoD: Cody, you are a champ. I always enjoy our sessions, you just have to put more confident and take action. I haven't shaved for a month since the event; I have joined the bearded brotherhood cuz I wish to be as cool as you. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/cool.gif

KrsJin: You are one cool cat. Good games with you and I hope your CO crew comes out strong for Evo this year. Its going to be a blast.

xPINETREEx: Nice Brad you have Abraham. Respect to your pimp skills. I hope you continue to play and get your cousin Luis to spar with.

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Team Louisiana[/size]</span>

sanjuro: Fred, you are fantastic. Much thanks for preparing delicious food at Plague's. We had some sweet games. Maybe sometime I will plan a visit to the famous Louie's Cafe.

BigBoy: We only met on the gathering weekend but it felt I had known you for much longer. Sick ass Lau. Looking forward to meeting up again.

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Team Florida[/size]</span>

INCIDENT: It was great seeing you again Luis. Your Jacky has improved and I'm sure will be stronger next time we face off. I'm glad you asked Plague to check out AI because I really enjoy just hanging out at an arcade. We should make our own Turkish action film starring us vs. Meatloaf Tower! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

Ladon: Glad to see you again Alain. We have to do more than one Zombie next time. I see you have more tricks with El Blaze, he's a lil bastard. Once you get used to controlling a stick you will be a beast.

Tonyfamilia: Whats good Fam! I noticed you leveled up during the weekend. I'm so glad you got to come out and experience this and I know you will be back for more. Your jokes always kill me. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Hope to see you again before next SoCal gathering.

<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Team East Coast[/size]</span>

Flash: I'm proud of you repping VA at SoCal. We didn't even play each other there but we had plenty of laughs just chillin. Keep rising to the top!

Llanfair: Glad to finally meet you Owen. You have some slick setups with your Pai. I really enjoyed the youtube vids you shared along with your technique with the guitar. We really have to brainstorm and get another M.O.A.T or NYG going on before the end of the year. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/g.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/p.gif/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/k.gif

oioron: Drunken VF is the best. We should've done this alot sooner!

Konjou_Akira: Rodney, from now on I'm calling you Professor! You could hooked a brotha up with some Roscoe's to go. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/thumbs_down.gif

adamYUKI: Mr. Maverick. You were the undisputed #1 guy. You better watch out, I'm sure everyone will be ready to take you down next year.
