Lab Zero. Seriously you guys are great. Thanks for making this game. I can't wait to see what's next to come.
@render Much love. You worked your ass off to ensure things went smoothly and they did. With as many entrants as we had, that's no small feat. Also thanks for the green tea Kit Kat. Tasting one was on my bucket list. I can die happy now.
@Hopscawtch and Kitty. It was great seeing you guys again. It should go without saying that you guys are important to the community. Hops streamed this game when no one else would. Even when others started to, it was STILL the most entertaining channel. That alone helped us through some pretty rough times. Kitty: you're such a nice person! It's easy to be around people like you. Thanks for the hug when I was super stressed. Not only that, but you both show up and support. Thank you guys. P.S. The "that's what she said" was all propaganda.
@Broseidon Rex Always a pleasure my good sir. You're a very chill dude who's easy to get along with. Thanks for hanging out with me and even cranking the MvC2 tunes again at McDonalds. I won't soon forget.
@ElkyDori This was the first time I actually met you but man you are cool as HELL! You are a man's man. You're secret high tier on team "glorious hair genetics". Good shit cleaning house in money matches.
@Outlaw_Spike Also the first time I met you in person. Superchill dude who seems to know a lot about beers. You kept things very interesting during the trip to Capriotti's (sandwich place) and reminded me that the SGC has so much more to offer than just insight on how to play the game. I hate beer, but I'd love to hear some recommendations on good beer so that I can change my mind.
@Hilary You're so awesome! I was blown away by how kindhearted and good spirited you were even after playing me in tournament. Truth be told, I didn't know many people in the bracket, but you and Winnie were who I was most worried about in pools. Thanks for the words of encouragement. It really helped me keep a level head. Would love to see you around at more events.
@keninblack You're a pillar in this community. El Presidente of the SGC. Your support and passion for this game is out of this world. I don't think anyone has as much energy as you do man. You keep shit HYPE. It's funny you talk about being impressed with my tech when I feel like I learn so much from you! I was so sad when you got knocked out of the tournament you don't even know. You managed to bounce right back being the class act that you are. Stay godlike man. I fucking love you and O M G V I R G I N I A
@winnie Mannnn you bopped me and put me into losers, but I couldn't even get mad. I've always had a tremendous amount of respect for your game because you're a innovator and a thinker. You always seem to have some nugget of wisdom to offer whenever you speak. My Filia definitely ain't shit compared to yours. I know you'll be shifting focus to Smash, but it's always a pleasure to watch you play this game.
@Inuchiyo - Not sure if I botched the spelling (incredibly sorry if I did), but you're so awesome! Thank you for supporting this game and bring as much positivity as you do, even with the language barrier. Please visit us again next year! <3 Japan.
@KhaosMuffins Your fro is amazing man. I don't think that can be said enough. Thanks for running a set with me and making Fortune look like a strong character lol. Was dope chilling with you and some of the West Coast on the last night.
@WingZero You're like the little brother I never had. Kinda sad I didn't play casuals in person with you but I was so drained. Thanks for chilling and talking shit with New Your.
@Shin ATproof You're a sick bartender and hella chill dude. Wish we talked more but good shit nonetheless.
@Nekro_Surge You're an anomaly. It's like - Idk what product you use to maintain such rad hair, or how you even manage to wear a sick suit without even breaking a sweat in that Vegas heat, but you are the fucking man. You're an S-tier frat boy. If you ever visit the east coast, New Your welcomes you with open arms.
@cloudKing211 You're very passionate and critical about Val play in general, and you're always thinking about the game and how to get better. You're also very hungry for competition (and pizza). You have the right attitude. Keep it up man. You will make noise if you stay on this path.
@Datagram and
@pash1k Dunno where the hell you guys were half the time but it was fun. Seriously, Data was kind of a ghost.
@GeneralMunoz Not enough I can say about you man. You're such a bro. Thanks for always opening the door for the NY crew. You never hesitate to hold a session despite having a job. Yucking it up with you Shade and Sage is always a riot. I've always felt like you're way too critical of yourself when you play! You do great things when you don't get the best of your self mentally. Just keep it together and keep playing and it'll all come in time. You telling me how shit my Bella was gave me the boost I needed, so keep doing that though. Good shit being the commentary champ too. It takes a lot to give up that much time mingling with the people to give your insight on the game for the viewers. Or any game for that matter.
@dekillsage Yo EVO 2014 Champ! I'm not sure you know how proud of you I am. Your growth as a player since I've known you is outstanding. I've seen you mature over the course of howeverthefucklongiveknownyou, progressively getting stronger with each passing session. I remember the day you told me you were thinking of picking up Parasoul. Now yours completely outshines mine! Your passion for the game is on another level. It's always a pleasure listening to you speak because you offer great advice. I learn something new every time I play against you. I'm beyond ecstatic that you managed to stay composed and take the whole thing under such stressful circumstances. I could not be happier that you won it all. You deserve it bro. Congrats.
Bonus S/O to:
+ Eat24 app because it actually works
+ Daddy's Delights. Never heard a more Suss name for a pizza company, and you even managed to fuck up not bringing our drink, but your driver respectfully went to pick one up for us at no charge. Not only that, but the pizza was actually pretty fucking great. First non mistake of the whole weekend (on sunday night of all times)
+ E A S T E R N L E G I O N
+ Luigi for holding NY down with a room
+
@RemiKz Because I hadn't actually met you, but now that you mention it, I do remember watching a peacock player and actually thinking to myself "Who is this guy with that glorious mustache?"
+ That guy who I played Uniel/Random select in UMvC3 with and talked a bunch of shit with over the course of the weekend. I am so sorry but I dont think I ever asked your name and I feel like an asshole for it, but you are godlike.
+
@SHODAN For yucking it up with me about shit like 3rd strike and holding interesting convo.
- Delta airlines for having
REALLY shitty seats that I had to sit in for 10+ hours
- LVH being a terrible place to find food at a reasonable price, and being so far away from places that are reasonable. It is what it is though.
- Most importantly: Not being able to find a way to In-n-Out for the 2nd year in a row. I'm so disappoint. Everything was so expensive so I hoped to go here at least once but no luck. I really tried but it isss what it issss.
