East Coast Throwdown 2 Wraps

So a very large East Coast fighting game tournament has finally finished up with a anticlimactic Grand Finals in Super Street Fighter 4 between Justin Wong (the best U.S. Street Fighter player hands down) and FlashMetroid (who used to be a Guilty Gear Player). FlashM was pretty goddamn free for JWong, which was a bit odd considering how well Flash usually performs. In any case, JWong swept the Grand Finals (best of 7 games) with what seemed like little to no effort. No disrespect to Flash or anything, but
You gonna go out like that?

The surprise of the tournament, and what really kept me from starting up my homework until 9 PM tonight was a Fei Long player named Inthul who not only plays on a PS3 controller (instead of the standard arcade stick) but knocked out heavy weights Arturo Sanchez and Sanford Kelly, both extremely strong players in their own right. Inthul's shenanigans and exceedingly excellent performance made everyone at the venue go nuts and all the trolls in the LiveStream chat go crazy. I mean, look how many people decided they wanted to play fei long after witnessing wonderful Bruce Lee tactics:


(props to JammyBoo over at SRK for the funny ass pic).

All in all, just makes me remember I need to work on my execution with my Dudley to show those Seattle fucks whatfor once I get up there.
