Title: Hyper Fighting tournament at CA Extreme 2014 arcade show
Post by: rag-time4 on July 15, 2014, 08:26:58 AM: I participated in the Street Fighter II Turbo: Hyper Fighting tournament at the CA Extreme 2014 arcade show. Was lucky enough to make the grand finals but I took the loss to Chris Tang. Very good player and better than I expected from last year's footage.

Here is our grand finals match:

I went with a friend to the tournament and my friend also played him but Tang was good enough to beat both of us.

Yeah I should have gone with Sagat after the first game. Chris was good at landing crossups against Dhalsim and I didn't put any practice time into blocking them. I did beat him 2-0 in warmups with my Dhalsim which is why I went with him.
