It's been a while, but for those wondering how I did at the tourney, this is how I would best sum it up: Up and down. On one hand I performed very well in KOF and SFxT going 2-2 in both of my pools and finishing 4th in each of them. In AE which is undoubtedly my main game and with a relatively weak pool- I blew it -- 1-2. I lost to Arturo Sanchez "Sabin" and an Abel player. Arturo was a late entrant and was inserted in what was supposed to be my bye as a 3rd seed in the pool. I was looking forward to a clash with Mr. Street Fighter Alex Valle but stumbled before I even got sight of him.
I was disappointed to be sure, but alas that is how big tournaments tend to work for players of around my skill. There is some element of luck involved. Granted, if you're good enough, you should make it out of the pool. I am clearly not ready to be considered to be part of that tier of players. But here is how I look at it, even if I had won all the matches I should have won, what real chance did I have in a runback with Arturo? Realistically, I had a fair shot but I'm certainly not favored. I'd give myself a 10-20% chance. In other words, more than likely I wouldn't have made it out anyway which is the ultimate goal. It was make it out or bust and it sure was a hell of a bust.
I had many matches streamed in KOF and SFxT and you can watch those on VGBootCamp's Youtube channel. I also recorded some side footage and you can view that on my channel.
I have EVO coming up next week. Wish me luck.
