After tonight's Tekken 6 competition at the Level|Up tournament, I've now realized that when it comes to regions, I cheer for only two things, the San Francisco Giants, and Southern California Tekken 6 players. That was the case especially in the winners finals and championship match, where I was hoping that Aris would hold it down for Southern California against the Northern rival Mr. Naps. Instead, it was Mr. Naps that took home the title despite moments where he was locked up.
It was also great to see the whole bracket get full for the tournament; I got worried that the event wasn't going to get all the spots in, unlike the Street Fighter IV tournament, which had their 64 players secured within hours of signups. And to everyone in Pool D, I hope you didn't get any cuts or bruises because that was a BRUTAL bracket to be in; there was so much talent there and unfortunately only two could get out.
Anyway, onto the great title match recap.
Title match result Mr. Naps 3, Aris 1
Match breakdown Rounds won: Mr. Naps 9, Aris 6 First-hit win percentage: Overall 66.7 percent, Mr. Naps 83.3 percent (5/6), Aris 55.6 percent (5/9) Lead changes: 1 Average round time: 25.47 seconds
The title match was over when … … surprisingly, Aris got his second perfect round of the match; it occurred in the first round of Game 3. After that, Mr. Naps ran off six consecutive rounds to take the match. Some were close, but a lot of them Mr. Naps was in control.
Player of the tournament: Mr. Naps held it down for Northern California and thus it's an easy pick for player of the tournament. For the run that Aris made, I want to give it to him, but this is a major event.
Other notes: Aris got two perfects in the final eight. The first came in the first round of the tournament. And when Aris started the match with three consecutive rounds won, I thought we were going to see a second championship match within seconds. That wasn't the case, as Mr. Naps adjusted and figured out Aris in time to stop him.
In the final eight, the regional rivalry went 4-2 in favor of Northern California. Mr. Naps went 3-0 against Southern California in the final eight. Ricky Ortiz went 1-2.
