NorCal KOF!

[chiming in my two cents. a day or two late, but hey, nobody else is going on about much~]

anyway, regarding what people were saying before.. i played geo a while back, he likes fierce/roundhouse a lot, yeah he can deal ok damage when he gets a hit, but he leaves himself open a lot too. grind punish combos, maybe?

i wish i got the chance to play more. juggling too many games around, and i feel kinda spoiled from console after evo :[

[tastylumpia]

The average level of play now is someone can whiff a DP right in front of you and there's only 50% you'll actually punish properly.

Where people gonna be at this Friday. SFSU or ST? I like the ST cab better, State sticks feel grimey.

[Reiki.Kito]

Likely Southtown.

Couldn't make it today but I'll be at SFSU/ST this week. I knew it, in this game HK/Mexico > America

Lol, I think BBZ is from China so technically not HK.  I'm excited for you guys, shame there's always someone missing from the tourney like Renzo, Charex and Isaiah.

[fixelzero]

lol, renzo is MIA. I heard Charex has quit the game (until Reiki placed top 3), and Isaiah said he has no money to play, oh well... but it's great to see new faces this week, those guys are pretty good.

[HaxMurderer]

My god..I just...even with the cold I have that was just...ugh.../sob!!!!!

[Reiki.Kito]

Least it shows the KoF competitive scene is growing bit by bit.

[Kane317]

I think today it showed that the scene just got serious and it's a make-it-or-break-it moment as the competition is only going to get me fierce from now on; only the real fans will stick around...  Good stuff guys.

Quality Ranbat today guys, easily the best ranbat and grand finals we've seen. Noticeable improvement to Haunts and surprisingly RodgerDodger (I remember only a short few weeks ago he was only commentating, not even playing). Reiki you're playing a lot more calmer so keep up the training! BBZ and Jose stir up the pot where Geo is conveniently missing  (I kid, I know he had work)l, Fatacon for repping Duo Lon and holding his own, Hotpockets/Hax/NN getting possesed by Haregoro for a split second was fun to watch too. Respect to Demoninja for dropping Raiden and sticking with Kyo despite playing a strong challenger like Jose. Fixel: I like your Shen setups and keep working on that Takuma man, I think it's safe to say we'll see you in the grand finals real soon!GG and very entertaining as usual.

I'll try to make it out to the next one.  Stuff was going on this weekend for me so I couldn't go last night.

Dear Laban:

You are a fucking beast at KOF'98, losing to you 50 games straight was crazy. I hope you show up next week at SouthTown so I can meet you in person. /no homo

Don't go, it's a trap.
