The tournament Sat. was awesome. I did decent though. The people there messed up a little bit though, because one of the people I went (Scott) with lost twice, but he still got to continue. He ended up beating the kid (the kid was only 12 but was amazing) that should have been in the finals, and ended up advancing, to then lose to my other friend. If that stuff didn't happed, I would probably have placed 3rd or 4th out of 8 or 10 people (I forgot how many people participated).
Anyway, for how I did, my first match was against another one of the people I came up with, named Andy. He was a pretty easy match. Before the tournament though, he beat me at Killing in the Name, so he picked that against me. I did much better this time (even improved my high score) and beat him. I then picked Freya and beat him easily in that to advance.
I then faced that real good 12 year old named Luke. He picked Monkey Wrench against me, and it was pretty even throughout the song, I ended up taking the lead in the middle. I then missed around the 8 last note in the song and he passed me up and beat me. I then picked The Trooper, and easily beat him in it since he's never played the song before. Our random song was Hangar 18. I somehow fucked up the beginning chords and he took the lead. He had the lead until about the middle of the final solos when I passed him up, and held the lead until the end to win the match.
In the next match, I faced my friend Dave. I chose Six against him and barely beat him. He then picked Psychobilly Freakout and easily beat me. Our Random song was You Really Got Me, and he ended up beating me.
I then had to face Luke again, and I chose Jordan. We were pretty much even through out the entire match. I ended up missing a star power phrase and he was able to pass me up during the bridge. On the final verse, he ending up missing around the 8 last note allowing me to pass him and win. Andy video taped the match, I'm hoping to post it here once he uploads it. He then picked Aterial Black, I again missed a sp phrase towards the end, and he was able to keep his lead he had on me and win. Our random song was Freebird, and I did horrible, so he easily beat me, and that was it for me.
Luke ended up getting screwed and should have been in the finals, but they said he had to face Scott again, even though at that time, Scott already lost two matches. Scott ended up winning to advance to the finals against Dave. I guess since Dave was undefeated so far, Scott had to win 2 matches against him to win the tournament. Scott won the first match (Where the songs where Soy Bomb, The Trooper, and Yes We Can). For the second match, Dave won to win the tournament (I think the songs where John the Fisherman, I can't remember the other song, while the random was Aterial Black).
Overall, it was real fun. The place is planning on having another tournament the week before GH3 is released, so where planning on go to that one too.
Here's a picture after the tournament. From left to right: Me, Scott, Dave, his scorehero name is Oraphice (I don't remember his real name, he was the one who held the tournament), Andy.
