Damn I almost finish writing the whole report but my computer crashed =/ Anyway here's a brief summary.
No.17 appeared as special guest from A-cho. He took a first round loss against Romance, but he got better as the tournament progressed and ended up taking 2nd. He commented that our controllers were similar to that of Japan, so he was able to play as he does there. I asked him how were the controls in Mexico because I saw the videos of him playing that Dark Geese uploaded and his skill level was much worse there. He said that wasn't able to play Duo Lon at all with those American style sticks and wasn't able to perform as he normally would. We spoke to him a lot especially over dinner on playstyles and how Japan, Mexico and the US compare, however I'll leave it up to him to either post himself since he'll be signing up or to Dark Geese to interview.
Congrats to Mr. KoF without being taken into losers!
Reynald had a really off day and also did not end up picking Raiden. He will come back with a vengeance next time. He also played a first to 7 series against No.17 and won 7-6.
B.A.L.A improved dramatically especially with picking up Vice. Very dangerous with her juggle anywhere hcf+BD.
Vids will be up soon by Kane317 as we ended up having to use his camera as a backup. The Answer and I spent several days trying to get direct feed working, but could not get it to work with 720p, only 480p. We even ended up burning out one of the parts making the machine unplayable until we got a replacement the day of the tournament. I had to drive 70 miles round trip for this =(
Thank you everyone for making this an awesome tournament. We hope to keep this going and to get direct video feeds next time!

Congrats to Romance for placing. It was definitely fun to be able to play with the cali-mexican crew again. Good stuff Kunio for not dissapointing many ppl! B.A.L.A. you've improved much since the last time we played =P Too bad we didn't get to have more names on the list such as Kane317,4Leaf,Francisco,pizzero,yoshi, etc. Hope to see you guys again at the next tourney! Thanks to THE ANSWER for help bringing Kunio(No.17) down here and providing the housing. Hopefully i'll get to play more talented players along the way! And one last thing TEAM DEADLY DUO FTW!

Have you guys tried to split the connection going out from the Taito through the second DVI port?
In the long run, if you guys want to direct capture with that cab, I would suggest that Oscar swap out the panel that's in there with one that supports HDMI/DVI. That way you can use the main Video port, and hook it to a HDMI splitter to use for streams and any other form of direct capture.
I expected to see Reynald in top 3, seeing him lower than that is a bit of a shock, but I can;t wait to see the vids. Congrats to John for coming out on top.
Who did B.A.L.A and No. 17 use?

Who did B.A.L.A and No. 17 use?
We used both DVI ports, one to panel and one to my computer, that's when the part burned out =( I heard last time we tried that, the game lagged up pretty bad. The next time we try this I'm thinking of using a DVI splitter -> HDMI & DVI where the HDMI goes to my computer and the DVI goes to the panel, then use an audio splitter.
Reynald was very off today and his matches were extremely close.
B.A.L.A used Duo Lon, Vice, Kula
No.17 used Duo Lon, Elizabeth, Shen

Very very good to know, we will continue as planned with USA vs. Mexico 2011 and other things in the near future!!!

Hey guys I'm very happy with the turnout yesterday as it was a lot of work for me throughout the whole week to make it happen, first of all I want to thank Duc for all his help (and dinner :)) yesterday. Kunio displayed great level of skill and put an awesome show now that he was able to play comfortably with the stick and button setup. Also the Cali-Mexicans represent well, they are showing that them having access to the game makes a big difference, BALA put a great show almost sending John to losers and Romance taking 3rd I am very happy with their performance thank you guys for coming. Also thanks to Giby for picking up my call at the middle of the night (literally) and helping us to try and find a backup JVS converter after me and Duc fried the one that came with the cab just in case we couldn't get one near by.
I'm sure that I am not the only one surprised with the results and upsets yesterday I know that a big part of that is because we banned Raiden, I think I can say that this was the best tournament we had so far and they are only going to get better.
Kunio is not only a great player but has contacts with all the top players in Japan and they are already asking him for videos of his matches now that he used a japanese controller. The Japanese are growing curios and very, very interested of all this USA and Mexico KOF that is going on, in the last few hours Kunio has contacted Hummer and Dune, Dune and Hummer have contacted CAP and SCORE about coming to USA, however more Japanese players are showing interest and have contacted Kunio and ask if they can come too, they are EURASIA (KOF XIII SBO Finalist) and KAORU (KOF XI SBO CHAMPION), Kunio ask if enough Japanese players can come would they be able to participate in the 5v5 and I said that we would definitely accommodate them.
The second chapter of the Mexico vs USA saga has been completed, now we start the final chapter which will take us to Tijuana Mexico.
DG: Your dream of a KOF world tournament might be coming true sooner than you expected.
UPDATE: NAGI has also ask if he could come.

Great that's what I want to hear..so I will create a separate thread for discussion of this SUPER KOF13 tournament with a tentative tournament name!
-
It was definitely a great tourney for the few matches I got to catch, I wish I could participate but between moving this/last week and my gf's and my birthday dinner--I couldn't get out of it.
I'm glad you guys finally got the setup working, when I heard that Ken brought the wrong part I thought I somehow translated it wrongly so I felt so bad. Special thanks to 4leaf as he helped me out with the move and hence he himself couldn't participate.
Finally, I'm glad to see Kunio in his "true form", I know some people don't think joysticks make a difference but to some ppl (and I refuse to play competitively on Americian sticks) it's night and day.

I blame the Canadians for the no show.

ROFL, magic 3...oh yeah /inside joke.

Oscar's so l33t that he came in 7th and 9th. =)

Can't wait to watch the vids, congrats to the winners.
Glad to see 13 getting more attention now, hopefully it will take off in the tournament scene like KOF2002UM and KOF98.
Gotta say, I chucked in delight when I read the results were affected by the lack of Raiden. Won't pull this into another tier discussion so I'll leave it at that.
Oh and can't say I'm a fan of putting the results out ahead of time like this, on the friggin front page of the site no less. Don't know about others but I find it more fun to watch a tournament not knowing who will win, espeicially in this case where the results would have been very surprising.

Sounds like a good idea maybe next tournament we'll record the top eight and not mention the results and just let people find out as they watch it.

lol you messed up man... shoulda recorded that epic match with me and Kunio. lol
-
My bad guys, I tried uploading the videos at work but it gave me an upload estimate time of 780mins lol (13 hours), so I decided to wait to upload it at home. Turns out COX cable sucks even more than I anticipated, and after working for 1 day at my new place it died yesterday--so I'm uploading it at work again.

We did do that for one of our tournaments at AI; I guess we'll stick to that format.
-
Congratz to all the top placers. Sounded like a good turn out. It's too bad I work weekends. I would have came down with Giby. Glad everyone is still pushing the game even with AI now gone. Great work.
-

Yeah it was really close between the both of you, until rule # 1 applied (Don't Get Hit!)

Good shit man, thanks for coming out and putting a great show.

whats up guys!!!i hear this weekend's tourney was awesome...i wasnt able to make it but im glad my crew was well represented.anyways,we were actually thinking of organizing a kof 13 tourney ourselves in japan arcade.but there are two things i would like to menttion before u guys tell me your opinion.the first one is that the game is played on american joysticks...and the second thing is that its the first version of the game(0.0 not 0.1 or what ever the new version is called jajaja).we've been discussing this for while now and i just wanted to know what u guys think.
-
Hi Yoshi you missed out on a great tournament, sounds like a great idea that you guys have however the American sticks will be BIG turnoff for a lot of people, for fun and casual games it's okay but for competitive gameplay it's just not possible a big example is how No.17 performed in Mexico and how he performed here, v1.0 it's also going to be a problem.
I encourage you guys to have a tournament, I know it will help to have a little more tournament experience which is a big factor.

I agree with 100% of what he said. I personally won't play on American sticks, at least not seriously. I have no problem with losing, I do that quite frequently, but it has to be losing to the opponent--and not the joystick.

I forgot to point out that Oscar really stepped it up, and replaced a burnt component ($150) on the fly without complaining, all to get the whole event to work out.

We can ask the owner for Japanese joystick, he had already told us that if we wanted to change.. and begin to believe it's not a bad idea to play in them... the only problem its that is the last version... we can ban mature and joe... well thats an idea... want to have fun and thank you guys.. ; ) we can make a small lunch in the place 4 u... hope u guys think about it.. = )

If it's Japanese sticks then you can count me in ;) The version 1.0 thing is more of an annoyance but I'm sure we can agree on some sort of ban of infinites. I hope by changing the sticks Pepe and anyone else who prefers American sticks won't get mad.

I'd go to play and support your guy's tournament, since you guys have always supported ours, and I'm sure this will give more players a chance from your area to participate
