i went in a kof tournament today at my local arcade.....

i expected a turnout of 16 but it only ended up being 8 ppl... :(

the level of play however was super high, i saw some pretty amazing chin, iori and other characters play...

we drew numbers out of a bag and i got the guy who eventually came third. he beat me by about 1/2 of a life bar (basically both of us got to our last characters). i think i should have had more confidence in my own ability and would prolly have done better...

coz after the tournament was over they put the machine on free play for 30 mins and 5 or 6 of the guys played, i won the janken with another guy (the guy who came second and an absolute iori demon, with tricks like hopping to land in front of you then automatically med jumping from there to attack you from behind (very confusing) and his chin was amazing, i aint seen chin played like that b4)) anyways i damn well beat him and he was playing seriously so i felt a little better after bowing out in the 1st round. next up the guy who came 4th challenged me and i beat him too :) i was pretty damned happy with myself by that point. finally i went down by one lp to the guy who took me out of the tournament....

oh well i am happy that i proved to myself that i can be competitive even good amongst the highest level players..

got me to thinking it would be cool if we could have a neogeo com kof tournament (or tournament with any neo fighter for that matter).

What version of KOF was it? 2002?

Anyways, good job.

Japanese players provide some of the toughest competition around, so if you can hold your own against them, you must really know your stuff.
