Hyper Fighting tournament at CA Extreme 2014 arcade show

[rag-time4]

I participated in the Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting tournament at the CA Extreme 2014 arcade show. Was lucky enough to make the grand finals but I took the loss to Chris Tang. Very good player and better than I expected from last year's footage.

Here is our grand finals match:

I went with a friend to the tournament and my friend also played him but Tang was good enough to beat both of us.

Here are the official bracket results:

Yeah I should have gone with Sagat after the first game. Chris was good at landing crossups against Dhalsim and I didn't put any practice time into blocking them. I did beat him 2-0 in warmups with my Dhalsim which is why I went with him.

ah he downplayed a clevar tournament tactic!

Good job man, I play as well, you can often find me on GGPO in the HSF2 room.  RoyalT or KazeKiri.

Rags! Good to hear from you.  I'll watch footage later.

The last time I played Street Fighter II (any iteration, including the PCE) it just made me wanna play Third Strike.
