  1. i like the ryder cup but i'd rather for once do something less formal. we should find a hotel and thurs-sun and just play whatever. We book like 10-12 rooms for say 20 to 40 and just play. Cash games, grudge matches, mini tourneys and lots of drinking. Lots of tv's and nintendoes so you can play whatever whenever. Sometimes I just get so sick and tired of formats which result in a lot of sitting around time. Maybe enjoy the night life of wherever it is or do a few non tecmo things like go to a ball game for those that need a little breather time.
  2. just heard back from the Oak tree in. they only have 3 rooms on sat but the offer is pretty good. Also AAA rate will lower this. Here is the info I got in my email today. Thank you for your interest in the Oak Tree Inn. The information for availability on Friday, May 2 is correct - I am currently sold out. As for Saturday, May 3 I currently have 3 rooms available, I do not know if this will help at all. They are either rooms with one king size bed or 2 double beds (side by side). The rate including tax per night would be $84.97. That rate does include breakfast for each person in the room - an $8.00 voucher for Alton's - right next store to us. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.
  3. I'm running a contest on my blog for a free entry to my tourney. this year or next. Or i will pay you 20 dollars to a different tourney if you are not in range of Buffalo. All you got to do is to email me your top twenty TSB matchups to [email protected]. Check out my post below in my section or go to tecmo101.wordpress.com for more details.
  4. joey was great. he probably played more games than anyone over the weekend. He also is hoping to play in cincy. I'd like to thank everyone that contributed monetarily or in good wishes. Hopefully Joey will have a better luck in the midwest tourney.
  5. This one guy kept coming up to me with his buddies and asking me if the Tecmo Bunny ever shows up at these events. Like two times at least. Maybe three. My mind is hazy on some key details. Forgot there names. But I know he asked me again about 20 mins before the tecmo bunny appeared. So I suspect one of these guys was the tecmo bunny or know who the tecmo bunny was.
  6. http://maps.yahoo.com/businesses/?lat=42.90822293826804&lon=-78.77270221710205&q=hotel%20near%20Cheektowaga%2C%20NY&bb=42.91733787417113%2C-78.79351615905762%2C42.89910665430306%2C-78.75188827514648&n=Cheektowaga%2C%20NY&nllr=42.92651387823418%2C42.89734999561188%2C-78.71317863464355%2C-78.77978324890137&sbh=1&b=hotel doing some research on the hotels close to the tourney site. the millenium is across from the mall and around a 110 a night the hampton in is about 140 a night behind mcdonalds in walking range the oak tree inn is at 73 a night with a triple A discount. It is located at the corner of Union and Walden behind Milton's and Alton's. Unfortunately there are no rooms here on Friday Night. I think we have around 10 guys interested/committed to traveling in and I can inquire about a group rate as well.
  7. I guess I will post a recap of my weekend. I had a great time and really despite the surprising early out I am not too disappointed. I'm more sick of how many times I had to explain what happened. This is the last time Dal vs den I called it and he choose Den. On my first pass attempt I would fumble on a guessed play. That fumble was ran in by the defense for a TD. After that I got up 14 to 10 at halftime and he threw an interception at the 50 with two seconds to go. Yet the field goal would fall short. I thought it was perfectly lined up and my conclusion was Dal's kicker was in bad, We exchanged scores in the third and I really had little contain on the run 4 offset up the middle. No matter how I tried to defend it I was isolated against his blocker. Then on his last drive I guessed that run a bit too much. I was gambling on containing his pass for the last 2 mins. But I got myself caught in no man's land around the 50 against the pass 4 redgun shotgun. He got it to Humphries and I was out of position. I auto dived and he ran it in for a td with 40 seconds. Then on my last pass I had both Irvin and Novacek open deep. One on one with his defender. I caught it on the dive around the 20 yard line but I was brought down. I'm sure I was out tapping him so I suspect that was one of those passes they will not let you tap out off. To be honest I am not even the least bit upset by the loss. I did everything I could do to win the game. If just one play turns out differently I would have won or gone to overtime. You can't win them all. I suspect in the future the parity at Madison and other events will increase. The cat is out of the bag and I have more than my fair share of involvement on letting the cat out. I'd rather have it this way. More fun. I had a lot of fun that night and my only regrets was that I forgot about daylights savings time and that I did not have a day to take off work. Missing most of the tecmo friday was a mistake that will not happen again. For now I plan to win the next two major tournaments on my schedule so all is good. Those would be #BuffaloBountyII and the #MidwestVII
  8. i'm waiting till friday night for last min cancellations/ adjustments to the bracket. maybe others are as well.
  9. lol. Thanks man. That gave me a laugh. Nothing wrong with how anyone enjoys there time or how they like to cut it loose. For example its a know fact in a tourney I don't drink till I am eliminated. I don't play half as good while drinking. Also I usually end up driving back to the hotel and sunday morning so I can't really cut loose like I would want too. To be honest no one has ever given me a hard time about it accept the few guys I had to convince that I was not some sort of non-drinker. lol.
  10. http://tecmo101.wordpress.com/ Here is some last minute tips for the tourney next weekend. It should be live on the board in 3-4 hours. feel free to email me at [email protected] if you need any further help for the weekend.
  11. We got a couple of friends in the running for the Ugly. I guess we can call the bad beat prize you want to do the Tuco Award.
  12. The problem with that is that with my back problems I will have to pay someone to dig a hole 6 feet deep...
  13. awesome work. You have outdone yourself. One of my favorite movies. Almost makes me wish the finals was in the little graveyard across the street. jk
  14. well i figured that but i think it should go out over the live feed or something when the interview is done. Maybe like a tourney preview as you set it up in the morning or friday night.
  15. i just like to blame any problem I have on online tecmo. I need something to gripe about. Not to mention the explanation about the lag really makes more sense. Plus I find if i post fact less observations enough time the real data is brought to my attention a lot easier than searching for it,
  16. I almost forgot about that. Make sure you remind Joe or me. Not sure if i said exclusive. Perhaps both you and Chris can interview him at the same time. It might make it more interesting.
  17. its an actual nintendo controller. it said nintendo on it. I played a game with it and felt it was good enough. I had the same problems online and I just figure its due to the nature of online tecmo he is breaking over as that is what happened to me. I stopped using a nes pad in fact the last time I played online cause I got sick of slowing down on d. he is using a usb adapter for a real nes. The only knockoffs I use are retrolinks and I rebuild those with a nintendo d pad as the retro link d pad sucks. Knockoffs all have terrible d pads. The tomee dogbone knock off is a piece of shit for example.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCn0xffl1mQbnPGEVkn-X5XQ all the games on the feed are now up in the database. just waiting on the title games, the consolation and my matchup with matt miller. Over the next few weeks I will be loading more games I recorded by VCR tape. I think we will get around 50 games, maybe more from this tourney.
  19. starting to post highlights of the live feed. This is how shit happens in the Kumitang. http://youtu.be/lUFUSkC55dU #KumiteII
  20. we had technical difficulties with the output to the tv. problem has been fixed. the live stream is up again
  21. a small amount of weight or resistance to focus your efforts. How you would go about this I would not have a clue. If you could get it to work it would make your movements very focused and refined which should give you more tapping speed. or exercises designed to increase forearm and grip strength. Again when I tossed that ideal around 2 years ago I gave up on it real quick deciding it was better to learn to live without tapping to win games. All I got after that is a couple of really bad fat chick jokes.
  22. i wear a glove in practice to keep blisters off my thumb from the dpad. Clearly it is a rite of passage. One I think Joe can pass with flying colors. I like the ideal of doing circles against the cpu.
