I think the Fall Classic was tournament of the year. So many hype matches especially since this was before DOA5U came out. The Alpha mirror matches with Lopedo and Xcalibur Bladez in the finals were awesome and Sweet Revenge, MASTER, and Rikuto had some good matches there as well. Of course, I wasn't actually AT any of the tournaments so I can't testify for anything related to that.

Youre actually talking about Final Round.
And id say that was the tournament of the year as well.

I vote TFC for tournament of the year for MANY reasons. The tournament itself was a fun event to be a part of and to witness. The top 8 was great. A lot of old and new solid FGC players showed up. Even players showed up that I have not seen since 2U(Fab comes to mind). The team battle tournament was solid and so was the New School vs Old School(Which it was a honor for me to even make the nominee list). DOA1 money matches(I'll get you next time Sorwah). DOA5U Money Matches(Blackwhiteboi was on a role). DOA4 and 5U casuals like crazy. Let's not forget the DOA5U Launch party which was crazy hype(even if I was drunk before and after). The solid attendance for the event. The only thing I would've been mad about is if I made top 8 just to find out there was only a top 3 pay out. I don't know who idea that was.

TFC was the best tournament despite there being a number of dropped combos the game had only been a few weeks and everyone was playing like their lives depended on it. The Alpha mirrors were incredible, the Rachel play was awesome, the rise of Sweet Revenge's Genfu began and the talent was just insane.

From a spectator view, I would pay to see another tournament like that now.

TFC. Just about everyone in the offline community was there. One of the only DOA majors where top 32 was stacked.

Strictly from an observational standpoint, TFC. Pretty much the highest-stakes tournament for DOA5, with a stunning turnout. It was hyped, there was hype all the way to the end, and I wish I had actually been there to see it myself.
