xLan 2011 - SSF4 AE Tournament

Where should I start, this years xLan came by a week after the nationals. With the prize pool this year being reduced to $200 ($500 last year + trophy) not many entered, also the entry fee was like $70...
Anyways, I was sponsored by Giga Internet Cafe, so I went with no hesitation :) Thank You Giga!!!
There wasn't many noticeable players except for iRumble (Seth) and Massi4h (Akuma, Sakura and Sagat) who gave me a hard time. iRumble litterly raped me during our casuals as I had always wanted to play against Seth and learn the matchup, it was difficult against him but I manage to pull it off in the Semi Finals. Massi4h on the other hand was trying to counter pick me during the winners Final and then again in the Grand Finals after beating iRumble in the Losers Final.
First set of the first game he wanted double blind, thinking I would use Yun and so he chosed Sagat, but instead I chose Akuma. (Fail), lolz.
Anyways, I end up taking down with having to reset the bracket and won, here is the game footage.
Funny as hell!!! :)

SSF4 NZ National 2011

Yes guys, last weekend was the time of the year for our NZ nationals.
This year I haven't prepared at all for it haha, I was lazy and also busy at work :P and thanks to WOW.... dammit!!!!
Anyways, this year Kevin (DevilStar) and Simonfish did not attend, Kevin had a new born child a week before this event and had to fly back overseas, as for Simonfish.. he was also lazy and had work, sif!!!
I didn't do really well :( only manage to make it to top 3 and as expected, I had to face Gankatron's Boxer (my worst matchup) and lost, I think I came somewhere top 8? lowest in any NZ tournament I've been so far.

Well Top3 are as below
1: Cr8zyK1LL3r
2: Gankatron
3: Jacksmash


Congrats to them^^
Cr8zyK1LL3r  will be leaving NZ after this tournament and back to Vietnam, I wish him the best and thanks for being my training buddy for the last 3 years for SF4!!!
