@Myke That casuals at Tokai Cup 2014 are mostly the Stormlor Battle Royal (two Stormlods play each other, after 2nd lose you must postopone your seat to another Stormlord in the line)

!HOT DOG!

Congratulations, @Phoxx

Had an awesome time at the Rumble in the Tundra 4! So lucky too that they allowed me to enter, ironically due to another Akira-player not being able to make it!

It was so great meeting some of the old faces once again @oneida and @Phoxx and meeting some new ones: @Harpooneer , @Terracrush and @MadeManG74 !!!

Great games to everyone, that I played: @MadeManG74 's awesome Wolf, @Harpooneer 's sick Jeffry, @oneida 's monster Lau and @Terracrush 's superb Aoi!!!

And huge props to our champion @Phoxx !!! Amazing stuff bro! I hope you're having a safe trip home back out west!

Not to mention, major props to @oneida, and everyone at Buffalo Gamespace who helped arrange this!

Thanks for the shoutout on stream too @Harpooneer , I hope to continue to getting stronger and travel out to there to check out the NYC scene with you guys!

Sorry I had to skip out after the casuals we did once the finals were over and couldn't make it to Duff's with you guys!

Until next time everyone! Long live VF!

Final standings:

1 - Phoxx
2 - Terracrush
3 - oneida
4 - MadeMan
5 - Puno_de_Leyenda / TTT Tee-Vo
7 - Harpooneer / Burgeois Tag

I'm working on uploading Top 3 to YT so if you don't want to dig through the stream archive you won't have to. @Harpooneer has half of the off-stream footage on his capture device so I'm sure that'll be up soon, too.

Also, I just wanted to say that I really appreciate being able to have a real VF tournament at an event that is
1) fairly small (only ~200 attendees iirc) and
2) not VF-centric
There's nothing more disheartening than showing up to an event and being the only one there. One of the caveats of loving this game is that if you want to play it offline and don't want to move to Japan, you've got to put up that bat-signal. Got to put the work in. The games I played yesterday were real, and I was sweating my balls off during every single one of them. I know traveling is expensive and cumbersome, but you guys did it anyway, and that's what makes you a good member of a small community. RitT4 was streamed to about 500 viewers (iirc) but the true impact of VF's presence there was that we proved that in 2014, 2.5 years after this game came out, we can mobilize people to events that aren't specific to our community.

It's in the books. Thanks everyone.

Good shit @Phoxx Man that jumping savate to backturn combo was sweet Got to practice that

just a heads up: twitch doesnt archive vids for very long anymore so id recommend going to www.nightdev.com/twitchdown/ or something similar and downloading these vids. Also, good looks! i missed these

I got em saved but chacha wants @Harpooneer to send him the offstream footage, he's gonna put it all together I guess.

Congrats to everyone in the tournament. Enjoyed the turnout. And Buffalo wings definitely deserve their rep. All you guys have to come to NYG so we can get some more matches in. Special thanks to @Harpooneer who helped me navigate the long road and who was just blast to hang with.
I'm on XBL: PurpleTrap
@MadeManG74 WELCOME TO DIE

You guys were awesome at the Buffalo event!
Saturday made all that travel time worthwhile! Between the casuals, the wings, and the badass session at the crappy motel, I was thrilled to be there. Looking forward to rumble in the tundra number 5!
Yo, @oneida you want me to send you the offline stuff or just stick it up on youtube? I also have set up the NYC_VF dropbox which hasn't been used since NYG 8 lol, so we could use that to transfer stuff too? I haven't taken the recordings off my card yet, but I am planning on doing it when I get off work today.

cha cha posted these pics of VF finals on Facebook.




@Harpooneer dropbox pls

Wow so I didn't even move between sets.

Also, I uploaded the matches I had on the LGP to the NYCVF youtube channel. If your match was on the xbox and got cut off, I am sorry. There must have been some kind of problem or maybe somebody hit the button prematurely, cause I remember recording in three segments but we cut in during Terracrush VS Teevo on the first video. I remember changing display settings on the xbox during the tournament, but that wouldn't have caused this. Dunno why it happened, but at most we lost 2 matches?
