Due to the almost biblical amount of snow that recently covered our city, the Fourth Annual OGS LAN Party had a few less computers than we had anticipated. People clearly didn't want to drag their gaming rig all the way across campus. A side-effect of this phenomena was that console games were a bit more popular at the event, since the heavy TVs were provided by OGS (and one by this guy). An impromptu tournament for the game Tatsunoko vs. Capcom kinda just... happened! Many of the participants were just picking up the game for the first time today, but that didn't stop them from fighting the good fight.
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
1. Eugene Kang
2. J.T. Bresson
3. Tedo Salim (alumnus!)
3. Jamal McSomethingSomething
5. Kevin Yeh
5. Jake Salmonson
The results may not be so surprising to some... Eugene and J.T. met in the finals for the second time in as many events (some of us may remember their previous showdown at the BlazBlue Tournament last month). Despite having lost to J.T. during their earlier match (the finals were actually the tie-breaker of the round-robin tournament), Eugene scored a 2-0 victory with his team of Zero and Batsu.
J.T.'s team consisted of Ryu and Zero, but he swapped Zero out for Tekkaman Blade for the second bout. It couldn't save him though. J.T. views TvC as a fun, relaxed game that's easy to pick-up-and-play (it was his first night playing), but doesn't really see it becoming viable for the competitive scene. When asked what he thought of the fight, J.T. said that he had to face the same safe, low-risk fighting style he saw from Eugene in the BlazBlue tournament, and that it once more triumphed over his own tactics, which involved high-risk gambits that Eugene just wasn't falling for.
Eugene chalks up his victory to what he believes is J.T.'s inability to adapt. He says that although his opponent showed near-flawless technical execution, it was the inability to "guess right" that led to J.T.'s downfall. Of course, having one full night of extra practice probably helped secure the victory as well. Eugene was humble though, stating that J.T. would have been "just as good, if not better" if he had practiced with the game the previous night too. Aside from the flash and the pick-up-and-play ability, Eugene is a fan of TvC because the game's balance, believing that every character is a threat and has at least a couple of very dangerous options. He's looking forward to getting better at the game.

Beautiful, right? It also does a great job of making us not want to carry our computers through it.
Dick Chang has a pretty ballin' YouTube Channel for you guys to check out, where you can catch videos of a number of the TvC matches (including the ones between Eugene and J.T.), along with some killer Puyo Puyo vids.
Both of the finalists received a $10 gift-card for their efforts (although since J.T. won a second gift-card in the raffle, he just might have gotten the last laugh). They also can't wait for their next change to beat each other down again. What do you guys think of this budding rivalry?
