Man, Jebailey knows how to get it #esports style. Look at all those logos.

Final Round is run by ShinBlanka. Jebailey runs CEO (Community Effort Orlando). Not mentioning Larry in the OP is a pretty big omission, I'll update.
 
wow i've fallen behind on the fighting games scene, I'm gonna give this a shot! is Justin still playing as Iron Fist? That charcter was a lot of fun (for me to lose with!) when I played this game the last time around.

Yeah I don't know why I have those guys mixed up. But yeah, he's workin' his ass off out there. I think I just saw NOS and my brain defaulted to Jebailey.

LET'S GO! FGC-GAF is gaming-sides Best-GAF.

Pulling for Josh to win, even though he hates us.



STREAM SO HARD.

I don't want to see any drama on the stream. I want the stream to be just about the games and the players and that's it. The whole gaming community is probably going to watch and somebody slips up expect more articles next week.
 
Man. I live so close, but I'll be tethered by work all weekend.
I'll be there in spirit. Stay free, FR attendees. Stay free.
 

GeoNeo

I disagree.
Really wish the thread title had no reference to Cross Assault. What a shitty thing to be associated with. I feel sorry for Larry, hopefully this weekend is remembered for Final Round. And, not an abortion of a show.

FINAL ROUND...WHAT!!!

FINAL ROUND...WHAT!!!

FINAL ROUND...WHAT!!!

Edit: Haunts and Spooky you two are gods though. Keep on keeping on. However, real talk the show was fucked in many ways. An experiment that has hurt the FGC much more then help it. (Really Capcom done fucked up)

Also note that the SSFIV AE 2012 CAPCOM Official National Tournament in Japan will be running March 2/3, Day 1 of FR, though on a much different time schedule. There's also the big 5on5 the day before, as in tonight. Made a thread for that as well. Actually probably spent more time on that thread than this one, haha.
 
We must pay tribute to the fallen victims of Cross Assault. Anybody have a full list so we can point and laugh....err I mean salute?
 
Can't wait! Watch Final Round while playing SFxT(Hopefully)

Salutes to the fallen soldiers of Cross Assault. You will not be forgotten...until Final Round starts.
 
It's going to take a hell of a lot for it to live up to last year but I'm looking forward to it. Will be nice to see Josh take home 25k for free.

Lack of international players is a bummer (will be skipping SF4 for sure).

Looking forward to that KOFXIII goodness.

If there's a GAF meet-up going down, PM me your number and keep me in the loop. I'd like to get some Marvel sessions in if nothing else.

USD: Kurosu (sp?) is also attending. He won the JP qualifier for UMvC3, supposedly has secret Rocket Raccon tech on deck, and if I'm not mistaken was the guy who discovered the DHC glitch.
