Who is going to GGA tonight? I think I might end up leaving really early since the snow decided to pour at least 4 to 6 inches on us. Also, I wanna play some NESTS Kyo n Mr. Karate tonight. Mr. Karate = top 2 easily.

@Desmond - it was nice meeting u n the rest of the out-of-towners. Sucks we couldn't get any games in, but hopefully things will run a lot smoother in next year's FF so we could do an epic 5v5 showcase/exhibition on stream.

@Konkrete - I'm down for some Saturday gatherings. I've also heard Nickel city wants the Chi-town FGC to do some gatherings on Saturdays. Would be nice to have another gathering that is close to me or less than 20 minutes of driving/drifting for me.

Yeah but u sent him to losers  anyway.....  Did he catch on to your andy elbow shenaigans?

I guess so... Either that or it's mainly because he had King on point. First time I've ever played against a legit King.
The Andy vs King matchup felt a bit annoying to me. Then his EX Iori was a problem. I felt like I had to beat his EX Iori with my Andy still alive to take da match. As usual it was hard for him to punish his elbow. I think Medina gots the archives up for grand finals on twitch tv.

KOFXIII results from Frosty Faustings IV: 33 entrants
1. Sparkster
2. James
3. Hero
4. Bzerk
5. King of Bums

Results from my head.

Good job Chicago for reppin in KOFXIII. 4 players in top 5 aka the money.

Highlights of KOFXIII tournament:
- Konkrete's shocking lost after being labeled the favorite to win it all.
- Bzerk losing to James... Again.
- Epic Grand Finals on stream.
- Chicago making all of top 8 winners side.

Bzerk you're so rusty, gone from 2nd to now tied for 5th. A week away from the game is too long, and you use top-tier. Also, here are the results including teams. Y'all correct me if I'm wrong.

KOF XIII Ranbat 1/2/2012
10 Entrants

1) James (Andy, K', King)
2) Konkrete (Ralf, Vice, Yuri)
3) Flexo (EX Iori, Vice, Terry)
4) Eric (Kula, Joe, Terry)
5) Bzerk (Kyo, Billy, Takuma)
5) MJB (Clark, K', Ash)
7) Grant (Kyo, Terry, King)
7) Brightside (King, Athena, Robert)
7) Orka (Shen, Mai, Kula)
7) Lurch (?, Maxima, Kula)

Will post match footage as soon as EFO posts them on the YouTube.

EDIT: oh yea, and GGs to everybody i played. Hopefully we got the people who don't or barely played the game that KOF is serious and here to stay... Word to your mom.

EDIT AGAIN: Also, shoutouts to Konkrete for listening to me about changing his team order and mastering the Yuri butt loop. Look what happened... 2nd place. On your way to winning Frosty Faustings, man.
