Top 3 for now:

1. LI Joe
2. AC1984
3. Shock

ECT2 was the best competitive fighting game experience I’ve had so far in the 9 years or so I’ve been involved. I have played in many different tournament games but everyone know the game I play is UMK3. The community finally got to be represented and treated like a real game. Fortunately we had LI Joe in the finals to get some real hype going and the watchers interested. Always a pleasure. Congrats to Simon on placing second. You are ever improving your game.

We have a great crew now working to keep UMK3 coming to tournaments regardless of the turnouts and outcomes. 9.95, Summoning and Dark Rob are all locals who are heavily involved in various aspects whether it’s supply equipment, running the brackets, etc. We’re very glad to have players who host major tournaments, like John, Joe, and Big E and support the UMK3 scene continually.

I was able to do two interviews this weekend about the UMK3 scene and we really appreciate that kind of interest coming out of random fighting game fans. As always, there were a number of onlookers during casuals and the opening brackets who gave uninformed sideline criticism of the game, but we’re use to that. That important thing is, there were far more onlookers who were actually interested in the game, and asking questions, or commenting that they never knew any MK game could played at a high level.

All in all, this is a huge step, and I hope it opens the eyes of some of the great players who have thus far outright refused to make their presence felt in a real tournament environment. Thanks to all the players who showed up, Tim Static, a pleasure to meet you and thanks for your continuing support in the UMK3 community, and the other organizers from Seasons Beatings

I just wish I knew my mic wasn’t turned on during the stream, as my commentary was legendary, but fortunately only one match.

Full results and match videos will be available soon. I have a lot of info to get.
