Blazblue Ranbat

phire — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 03:11:36 +0000

So, we had our first Ranbat for BlazBlue..I think it went pretty well, we had 23 entrants (speaking of which I have to see the winners about their prizes) and we did this one on PS3. There was a bit of rumblin’ about how it should have been on 360, but I think PS3 is way more pad friendly. Sadly we’re taking a two week break from tournies (vacation time!) but we’ll be back in force before you know it. For now, its balancing out SF4 and this, then when Tekken 6 comes out we add that!

So here are the top 3 and their CLP:

1) Jiyuna-161
2) Drunken Chicken-46
3) Lord Knight-23

Everyone else who entered has one point,

The other finishers were:

4)zidaniel1337
5)Blaze 2 u, Nas
7)shine, Alzarath

Without further ado, here are some the vids in no particular order. The rest can be found on our channel . Oh snap, there are some photos here too!

Ranbat 7

phire — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:49:38 +0000

It was hot this past weekend, you are quite welcome for the retroactive weather forecast.

There were two new players that showed up. Yay. I am sorry that this is a bit late, I have been busy with getting this site to look prettier. We’re closing in on the winter months so the ranbats might become monthlies(to accommodate other titles, Tekken 6,Blazblue, cough i mean Kof xII). I’ll still keep the CLP system and use that to seed future tournaments.

Anyway, Mariodood showed up late. It cost him because he played Aulord in the finals AND LOST! As I type this, I am being stalked by a giant bug so I’ll just go ahead and post the video plus the top 3:

1)Aulord
2)mariodood
3)Capmaster.

Street Fighter Ranbat 6.

phire — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 13:28:53 +0000

This is the 6th ranbat and the last one before the EVO 2k series. The attendance wasn’t as strong as most ranbat but the comp was fairly decent. A lot of the heavy hitters were at other tournies that were going down around the same time, most notably the Chinatown Fair tourney and there was one in CT. The top three for this tourney were

Mariodood
Aulord(see i spelt your name right)
Chemist 4 Hire

Chemist 4 Hire had improved greatly from the last time I’ve seen him play. That leaves me to think he undertook secret training techniques from this man.

The Akuma player Andy came out. He’s pretty good so it was great to see Akuma come out and fuck shit up.
How’d I do? I won my first match, then lost to Aulord (Curse you) and then Adnan(with his ‘Sim). I deserved to lose, I took a break from practicing hard to learning Blazblue. I have to find some balance. I have to be at least some what competent when i go out to Japan next month. Evo is going down, I sent scrubdre lamebert or Andre as some like to call him to vegas to play. I think it would be a good chance for him considering all the drama that went down with the CF tourney. Sorry this is a bit slow. Good luck to all who are going to EVO remember what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

Anyway here are the vids.

Of course, you know I to do this. I love the GG series and HNK why wouldn’t I do a ranbat series in this. Lemon loves his Street Fighter and yes I love C.Viper and Cammy but in my heart I will always be a guilty gear player, take a look at my sticks for christs sake (thanks finkle!). In any case the BB ranbats will be similar to the SFIV ones. If you don’t know about them here’s the rules

System – PS3
Controllers- BYOC (Bring Your Own Controller)
2 out of 3 double elimination
3 out of 5 winner finals/loser finals/grand finals

Winner must stick with same character, loser may pick a new character.

entry fee: $15
5 venue
10 pot

prizes: cash pot depending on the entrants. 70/20/10.

Where:
Plan N Trade‎ -
137 E 13th St, New York, NY‎ – (212) 674-0200‎

When the first one is August 1st. Please get there before 1. Where:
Plan N Trade‎ -
137 E 13th St, New York, NY‎ – (212) 674-0200‎

When 8/1/09
yeah we say pre reg is at 1230 but people dont’ show till 1-2. so I’ll say get there at 1 sharp to be fair.

If you arrive late(meaning the full round has been completed) you’ll be placed in losers. I’ll do it too, ask about me.

Of course there will be recorded matches and we will be keeping CLP and standings for this too.

Side note :
August will be kinda weird because SBO and Jdubbs and myself will be in Japan for a bit so the tourney schedule will be a bit wonky.

Rainy Ranbat.

phire — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:22:40 +0000

OH man what didn’t’ go wrong this day? First it was rainy then, there were a million tournaments going down at once and then I totally got scrubbed out.No excuses I haven’t been playing much so my hands are a bit special, I’ll fix this mark my words. So the turn out was small so there wont’ be a lot of clp to give out. Arlord came through, I demand he come in with chain mail and maybe a buckler. His pad play is on point as usual. There were a few regulars. New player came in and won it . Damdai(did I spell it right) I’d like to see how he fares against the big guns.Justin was off saving the world again.

it broke down like this.
1)Damdai
2)Arlord
3)Chris (no not me)
4)MarioDood

then everyone else. Not a lot of vids from this one. Unless you want to watch me get scrubbed out Man I’ve been on a slump for the past few days.

Ranbat 4: New Challengers

phire — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:02:42 +0000

The fourth ranbat went down. We had a ton of new people as well as some special guest. A few players from Philly stopped by the store(DemonHyo, Magneto, Dr. Chaos,One and Kaizoku) , one Issei and apparently someone who went deep into the Gamestop tourney.

The numbers were right about at our average at 30 but the competition in this one I feel was a bit stronger.Alot less randoms and more familiar faces minus a few. A new player stepped up big( Aulord), while a regular put in a lot of work (Rico) .Things got a little testy in one of the matches but in the end it all smoothed out a bit. So before hand I apologize to the ‘Rog and Dictator players in the header video. I couldn’t remember who was using who. Issei totally tore me a new asshole in the second part of the video. I think it was pretty cool but that’s what I was used to when I was out in Japan back in 07 so it brought back memories.

the final standings for this one is as follows. When Justin’s done globe trotting he’ll do the CLP

1)Marn
2)Dr. Chaos not to be confused to Professor Chaos
3)Capmaster
4) aurord
5)Rico Suave,Fascinating
7) Mariodood,one
9)Issei,Eric,Mike,Noel’

Sorry about the delay but Streetwars is going down so I was busy helping out with that.

Ranbat 3

phire — Mon, 18 May 2009 18:50:53 +0000

This weekend we held the 3rd Ranbat, solid turn out considering that WCG was running an event at the Samsung Building.Also there was a tournament that took place in I believe it was CT no not Chinatown but Connecticut (Andre and Rahsaan dominated in I heard). We had a turn out of 32. So Justin will do the clp for that and we’ll up date the standings. Due to last minute entrants and people forgetting to sign in there was minor hiccup on the bracket so it got cleaned up, nothing major.

Here’s a rundown of top 8 spots.
1 Marn (Rufus,random select. Yes he went question mark)
2 Eric (Gief ,Sagat)
3 Arturo (Seth,Sim)
4Javitz (Boxer)
5 Mario Dood( Dictator) Rico (Abel)
6 Danny C (Boxer) Jeron( ?*)
7 Chrids*(Ryu),Romes(?)
8 Phire (Cam,Viper) ,John(?) , Fernando (?)

(*I probably butchered his name. He preregistered but I didn’t have the list. ? means didn’t catch who they were using.)

Arturo got third? Eric won second?! Wait? What Phire actually did something other than just scrub out!?!! This is madness!! Madness? This is CL !!! *boot* Maybe I’ll start playing more and for serious.

All memes aside this tournament was good in terms of competition as usual. We also got it done fast on 3 set ups .Finished around 6.It’s always a pleasure having you guys hang out with us.

I’m also thinking of starting semi-pro/pro-am circuit for this so some players can hopefully raise their games to that level . Hit me with some feedback if you’re interested.

And doesn’t it look like Viper’s farting fire?

For some reason Correll decided to include piece of what i previously edited onto the next project, yes I suck but you have to admit i got this done fairly quickly. Also there’s a lot of talking in the background by ,UGH, me sometimes and other people hope it isn’t too unbearable. I’ll upload the brackets after I get them scanned in.

Without anymore delay here are the match vids:

Random Select:Last minute Tourney.

Soo it looks like it’s more filler but it’s cool. We ran a tourney this weekend. Last time we did a tourney only about 20 something people showed up . This run it was about 47/8ish. We were pleasantly surprised by the turn out and even some Soul Caliber players came out to hang out with us. Good stuff. It was pretty good competition and some strong nyc players came out to shine.

How’d yours truly do? Not so good, I need a few more hours in the lab. How’d Jago do ?He placed 3rd, go figure.

This is going to be a tough post because i’ll constantly be editing this post with matches. To hold you over till I’m done you can check out these two + the top

Also add us to myspace / facebook.
