Interview with Crow at StrongStyle 4
Written by Glenn   
Monday, 01 February 2010 14:49

SUNNYVALE - Crow was part of the late out-of-state domination at NorCal StrongStyle 4, as he finished third in the Tekken 6 singles tournament last night.

Crow was held down by both Korean players, Rain and Tongbal Love. Only three players faced both Koreans in the tournament, and they all lost. Crow was the last of the three to unfortunately do so.

In this interview, he talked about the two tough matches, plus his run in the tournament. You can listen to it below.

SUNNYVALE - The final eight for NorCal StrongStyle 4 are set. It is a mix of international, local and out-of-state talent, so if you're going to be watching on Sunday or following the updates, there should be someone you can cheer for as they try to win the Tekken 6 title.

Here's the scheduled matchup for the final eight and how they stack up going into the match:

Winners Bracket: Crow vs GM; Insanelee vs Tongbal Love
Losers Bracket: Filipino Bus Driver vs Rain; Suiken vs Slips

Crow
Region: Texas
Record: 5-0
Opponent win percentage: .625 (15-9)
Next scheduled opponent: GM

Filipino Bus Driver
Region: Southern California
Record: 5-1
Opponent win percentage: .655 (19-10)
Next scheduled opponent: Rain

GM
Region: New York
Record: 5-0
Opponent win percentage: .608 (14-9)
Next scheduled opponent: Crow

Insanelee
Region: Northern California
Record: 4-0
Opponent win percentage: .650 (13-7)
Next scheduled opponent: Tongbal Love

Rain
Region: Korea
Record: 6-1
Opponent win percentage: .692 (27-12)
Next scheduled opponent: Filipino Bus Driver

Slips
Region: St. Louis
Record: 5-1
Opponent win percentage: .667 (20-10)
Next scheduled opponent: Suiken

Suiken
Region: Southern California
Record: 7-1
Opponent win percentage: .555 (20-16)
Next scheduled opponent: Rain

Tongbal Love
Region: Korea
Record: 4-0
Opponent win percentage: .619 (13-8)
Next scheduled opponent: Insanelee


Other notes: Out of all the players these final eight faced in the tournament, only two did not win a match. Six of Rain's seven opponents won at least three games, and he was sent to the losers bracket by GM. Bottom line is that these guys had nearly no "break" opponents and were tested all day Saturday.

With Strong Style 4 just a few days away, I preview the tournament with a couple players scheduled to attend: Aris and Rip.

Guest commentators needed for Devastation 2010
Written by Glenn   
Friday, 29 January 2010 18:54

Here's your chance to get on the mic for Devastation 2010. The tournament organizers are asking for people to help provide a voice in all of the competitions for this year's tournament.

More info is on the Devastation Web site:

We are going to select several members for each game to participate in the broadcast both for back-up reasons (stuff happens, right?) as well as we may be able to develop some synergies between the various commentators. Guest commentators will sit along-side djWHEAT and the Live on Three crew and help commentate on matches, be involved with pre and post-game interviews, special events, and more. If you are selected for the team you will be on the hook to show up and be available for the broadcast… but we will cover those details when we get there; we imagine you would not nominate yourself if you did not want to actually come and take part but stranger things have happened. Know this: if you ask to be considered you are, in fact, committing to take part in the event so if you are not sure you can come it is best that you do not try out.

Here is the current roster of games for the tournament:

  • Tekken 6
  • Super Street Fighter IV
  • Quake Live
  • BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
  • King of Fighters XII
  • SoulCalibur IV
  • Tatsunoko vs Capcom
  • Guilty Gear XX Accent Core
  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix
  • Tekken Tag Tournament
  • Marvel vs Capcom 2
  • Street Fighter III: Third Strike
  • Madden NFL 10
  • Super Smash Brothers Brawl
  • Guitar Hero 5
  • DJ Hero
  • Halo 3
