HOLY CRAP! dan in top 8? i love it.

any deck lists etc? on what people were running? what did jeremy change his deck to after bannings or what changes were made etc? was your build still air or did you switch? etc. people are dying to know

I think I remember the decks, in no particularly good order:

• Olexa (Air)
• Jubei (Order)
• Tira (Death)
• Sakura (Water)
• Victor (Chaos/Death)
• Hata (Fire)
• Dan (All)
• Seong-Mina (Order)
• Ivy (All)
• Siegfried x2 (Both Earth, different styles. See Deck list forums for mine)
• Night Terror (Death)
• R. Mika (Water)
• Mitsurugi (Fire)
• Astrid (Fire)
• Chun-Li (Air)
• Donovan (Order)
• Mignon (Air)
• Rock Howard (Order)
• Hilde (Fire)

So, it's 4 Fire decks, 4 Order decks, and a mix of the other symbols. No Evil decks, no Zi Mei, Akuma, or Guy.

Tira vs Victor in the final, we like.

ill post pictures later marcus left with my camera and i have to go to work at 3. so when i get off ill post all the pictures i took.

astrid was order not fire..... even tho most of the cards did have fire on them but none the less it was order.

Nyobari said:

The Hata I was running was actually off of death. A few cards did have fire though, so it is an easy assumption without seeing some of the other cards in the deck.

Victor and Tira geez how the meta has changed.

TIRA!

Fun times, all UFS HOUSE finals

It was great to hang out with the MI and Foxhound guys again, see you all at GenCon

Time to make my death/chaos victor deck.

pictures of everyone at the tourny. some r random so bear with me, lol.

Congrats to me for being the worst player and playing the worst character. Woot! LoL. Props to Jellie for placing higher than me in a toruney.(I'm man enough to admit my g/f outplayed me, lol) Further more, I was glad to see all of the top tier players that showed and was excited to just be there considering it was our first (and possibly only) UFS tourney of the year. Congrats to all of Top 8, and mad props to Wonderworld Comics. Great store!(Got new Dr. Doom stuff now!) And, of course, thank you to Scott and Kirk for having a much needed talk with me concerning my playstyle and thoughts on how to play the game. My view of what I need to do has greatly changed and I thank you guys for pointing out my idiocracy. (Jellie pointed it out as well, but, she always points out my idiocracy...) If we can make it to GenCon, I'll let everyone know, but I'll cross that bridge if I ever reach it. That was a worldclass regional that was held amongst nothing but superior players with, by far, the greatest of sportsmanship. Good Luck to everyone at worlds this year! (Can anyone say two-time character champion?)

Thank you for the detailed post! I was a gonna ask for these results if they weren't posted ^^

Grats to Paul, way to come through with a regional win and against some of the very best.

Victor is a tricky devil, with some unorthodox kill conditions and intresting survival techniques. Glad to see him finally get his due (6 hs to boot).

Grats also to all of the top 8 finishers, I'm sure there were good matches held all around!

- dut

Victor is flat out the nuts.

Even pre erratas/bannings he had come top 8 at no less than three regional level or higher events. That being said, I think that post errata/bannings, Paul's list (or at least something very very close to it) is the correct way to go. Congrats on the win Paul.

Interesting results, though. VERY interesting. I wanna hear about Jeremy's deck, and Death Tira =D

Wilding said:

i'm assuming it was hata2

Holy crap. This was one of the best weekend I've ever had. The Michigan crew are some of the nices guys I've met in this game. They really made us feel welcome. I would like to thank them for putting up with us Canadains.

Ok so my props :

Michigan cerw, you guys rock

UFS house A.K.A. PISS HOUSE !, you guys are funny as hell and its all ways fun drinking with you guys.... oh and fear Matt Kohls, Matt Kohls deck (its scary as hell)

Stone cold creamer, for giveing me extra stuff in my ice cream free of charge and being so tasty. Andrew we got to go back

The froming of M.O.O.C. Lol thouse guys seem to top at all the events. I wish they would let some other people top

Slops:

Coming in 8th only to find out that the computer messed up and I was in 9th. Good thing I was eating ice cream when I found out or I would have been pissed

Me for holding back a KFT cause I thought my opponent had a Tag Along in his hand. But I forgot I had two BRTs ready

The weekend for being so short

Ah, Top 4ing again, like always in the regional, and just like Andrew said "The best I've done all season combined" lol. But I had a feeling when I got hold of jubei that I wanted to play him, and it worked quite well, but I must say Death has Order/Spinta decks number, Matt Kohls destroyed me and there was nothing I could do. Oh well it was a great weekend, and Keith you and the CAAANADAAAiens are welcome back anytime, next time I'll even actually get the weekend off so I can drink more with you guys, same goes for the Ohio group, but I'm sure they knew that. haha.

Yes, my deck was Hata 2.

Wilding said:

i assumed. hata 1 isn't that hot.

Paul got his revenge on me in Top 8, but we are still Sakura Buddies 4 Life.

And thanks to Jellie's pictures I now know who slapped me on the ass in the top 8 picture. Mr. Cop Out and Play Seong-Mina Like We All Knew He Was Going to Anyway Even Though He Swore He Was Going to Play James Hata. Yeah, that guy.

Lol. In his defense, he was going to up until he found out I was playing it too. Probably decided that the two of us fighting for diversity wasn't as good as both of us having a shot in. He did switch after i heard "You've got to be kidding me. You're playing Hata too?"

yah me for picuters lol did u guys see the big fat picture of my mom lol. I like to take lots of pics so people can be like look i have pics of myself with this person, ect ect.

Nyobari said:

Meh, but a mere coincidence on Zi Mei or Akuma. I think people are experimenting, trying new things. Also, the fact that Zi Mei hasn't won anything, at least in my opinion, dangerously keeps her on the "insane risk, high reward" scale. As for Akuma, loss of Spiral Arrow killed his Void style (but only Eithinis cares), and I'm sure people would incorporate diversity.

As for Guy, OK, seriously, you guys need to STFU about Guy; Guy hasn't been good since Tsunami Sabre was legal. Get with the times.

Guy uses the best attack still left in this game (Reppa) the best so ssshhhh....

Good Stats, Speed Pump momentum generation and anti momentum... what more could you want in a character?
