My personal story:
Woke up at 3:00 am.
Left home at 4:00 am with
@Tijger and
@Pictured Mind .
Meet up with DILDO JAIMY and Coolcatn1kk1 and there parents at 5:00.
Drive with 2 cars to Paris.
Arrive at the location of the event at 9:30, i thought: Yes we are not late!
It took us 1 hour to find a parking spot! Not funny!
So at 10:30 we arrived at the event.
It was nice to meet everyone again, the french but also the players that came from other countries,
@ULTIMa Ivanov , Bress,
@Tulkas and
@Hurricane Rev .
It was funny to meet John-Sunders, he is my fan!? LOL
So i had a goal, winning this event with Gen Fu. Testing how good my Gen Fu would be. And i really thought my Gen Fu was my best character at the moment... But it doesnt seemed to be like that:
So my poule:
First match vs Hurricane Rev, the dedicated Mila player. It was a good match, i had no time to warm-up, so i guess that would have been the reason why i fucked up my juggles and 33p 33p dash 16p.
Next match vs Croute Chef,
I thought: why the hell do i have to play the hardest 2 of my poule first. Again in this match i fucked up a few things with Gen Fu. But i was able to get the win. GG fellow Zack player
Next Dojo,
I did won 2-0 but you gave me a "Great", you did everything right and made the right choices. I really wanna see you continue training and who knows what the future will bring you.
Next on Livestream vs Brams:
We played a lot offline in the offline session at Zikta's house. I was exited to play against you. I really had fun in this match bro. Keep up the good work with Lisa!
Next Albritz:
I saw your performance vs Vish, you made a good impression with your Marie Rose. I personally think Marie rose is mid-low tier. So the lower tier i think your character is, the better i think you are playing with such a character. Ggs
Next John-Sunders, my fan!?
Ky Dragon introduced me to you, and said you where my fan. I was happely supprised LOL
You where the only lei-fang player, respect!
Ggs to you and we had a funny conversation, even though you find it hard to speak english. Keep it up!
Last match in my poule vs
@Vish :
I still remembet our RoF3 match in the pools, you took a set with your crazy Tina. That day at RoF3 you showed me that i hate to play vs Tina the most (even more than playing vs Helena). You made it hard for me again at this tournament. Good stuff my friend!
So i continue as 1st of my poule.
Tijger also continue as 1st of her poule, she was really happy with that.
I thought:
First match in Top16 will be an easy one since i have to face a nr4 of a different poule... But! I had to face
@JayceeChris ! How the hell did you get 4th of your poule?
Match vs JayceeChris:
I know his play style, i know his Ein. But HOLY Crap! You played sooooo good. My Gen Fu got OWNED. I was in doubt of switching to a different character after you made it 1-0 for you. But i wanted to make sure if my Gen Fu could do it or not. So i sticked to Gen Fu and got owned again...
First time since doa5vanilla that i lost a tournament match vs an European. Respect and good stuff man!
So i lost my first match in Top16, going to LosersBracket.
I had to face
@Alucardo who played with Tina. After losing from Jaycee i decided to go with Zack for the rest of the tournament. I was still in a pumped up mood of the loss vs Jaycee so i may have played a little bit rude vs Alucardo. Im sorry my friend. Ggs and i will see you next time!
Next vs
@Ivan :
Im so dedicated to win this tournament via Losers with Zack. And because it was still only FT2 i had to play my best, no trolling. So i did. Ggs my friend as always.
Next Ivanov:
Oh oh.. Christie. The character who eliminated me at TFC. But i was ready for Christie. I knew what to do against the sidestepping. Thanks for coming Ivanov. Ggs!
Next Hurricane Rev again:
I knew you wanted to place high in this event, and you did place high! I knew your Mila a little bit better thanks to the poule. Good stuff Rev, thanks for coming!
Next DILDO JAIMY:
I am really proud of you doing this good in this event! I am sorry to meet you in this stage of the tournament, because we both dreamed about a grand final against eachother Your Rig i clearly your best choice vs me. Keep up the training and may the future bring an GranfFinal for us both?
LosersFinal vs JayceeChris:
I have to get my revenge with Zack now!
Playing with sound is what i prefer, and this match was with sound Good stuff placing 3rd. I told you you would come far! Now you asked for some advise. As i keep telling you to change character, i are loyal to Ein. So here is some other advise and i hope to see this in the next event:
Slowescape: Ky Dragon got a free critical burst after Jann Lee's H+K way to often! If you would have slowescaped, who knows what would have happened in the Winners Finals.
Fuzzy Guard: Try to fuzzy guard after save moves if you are planning to stay on block, this way they cannot grab you.
Now the Grand Final vs Ky Dragon:
So again the GF vs Ky Dragon, but now i am from Losers and Ky is from Winners.
Your Jann Lee was really good, the character change to Tina was a really good choice. I really hate her XD changing to Christie and Hitomi was interesting, but i was not scared of these characters. Ggs and congrats with 2th place! Je suis dans votre tete!
Thank you DeadPool and the whole staff.
I had a blast at this last DoA5:U Tournament!
The prize looks amazing!
